What do we tell Mom?

I'll take care of it.

She was such a nice person.

Such a good person.

She didn't deserve what happened to her.

All of this ends today.

[music ends]

[lively instrumental music playing]

[Kinsey] Hey.

I'm so sorry about Erin.

She was just trying to help us.

[footsteps approaching]

[door opens, closes]

Hey, Scot.

Good to see your face around here again.

Hi, Mrs. Locke. It's good to have my face seen around here again.

So, what's everybody up to?

-Helping Scot unload some equipment. -Yeah.

We're filming stuff for our sequel today.

Ah! I wish I could stay around and watch you guys work your magic. Have fun.

Hey, Duncan.

Have you seen Erin this morning?

Actually, I was gonna tell you.

She left last night when everybody was out.

Left?

What? For good?

Yeah. Yeah, she said that she's terrible at goodbyes,

but she wanted me to thank you for everything.

Okay. [laughs]

That's weird.

I hope she'll be happy wherever she lands.

Me too.

It's a shame you don't get a day off after Winter Fest like everybody else.

Ha. Unfortunately, the deadline on the theater's coming up way too fast.

Have a good day.

-Bye. -Bye.

Bye, guys! Break a leg!

Bye, Mom!

[engine starts]

[solemn music playing]

All right, let's get this done

for Erin, for your dad, and for us.

Everybody clear on the plan?

-We sure he's bringing Eden? -Oh, he's definitely bringing Eden.

She's like his little minion.

Bode?

I'm totally ready.

So what exactly happens when we trap Gabe in the well house?

He's not trapped.

He's destroyed.

Crossing the threshold doesn't trap an echo. It vanishes them entirely.

That's why Dodge tricked me into giving her the Anywhere Key.

So she could escape out the storage closet.

Look, I get the plan,

but I can do more.

Dunc, it's you he's after.

We need you to be the bait.

I'm ready if I'm needed for anything else.

Thanks.

[breathes deeply]

I hope this works.

It'll work.

Now we have the element of surprise.

[Eden] Do you actually believe

they want you to come over just to film this stupid movie?

It doesn't matter. Getting into that house gets us to Duncan.

Just saying, maybe we should have a backup plan.

And as usual…

I'm already 12 steps ahead of you.

Great.

So we go over, break down the door,

use the Chain Key, snatch Duncan.

No, this is back up.

First, we find out what they know,

then we get Duncan alone, throw him into the truck,

and bring him to the Forge so we can make our key.

-[Eden] You're not bringing all the keys? -[Gabe] I am, but not the Echo Key.

That one stays here.

Why does your plan have so many steps? Hmm?

Because if I were in charge, we'd already have him making the key.

Are you an idiot?

Do you not understand this still?

They have keys that they can use as weapons.

If we wanna avoid that,

then we have to snatch Duncan up when they least expect it.

-Is this starting to make sense to you? -Who is the idiot here? Hmm?

Because what if they are expecting it, huh?

It's entirely possible that they are onto you.

It doesn't matter. They can't match me.

[chuckles]

And let's be real, I know what this is really about.

You just don't wanna see your girl get hurt, hmm?

Enough!

No more of this back talk.

-You only exist to serve me. -[gasps]

No more, "Hey, have you considered this?" No more, "Hey, why don't we try that?"

-[whimpers, winces] -Understood?

Okay!

Go get our test subject.

-Then we're out of here. -[screwdriver clatters]

[door closes]

[computer chimes]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music intensifies]

-Is everything okay? -[Josh] Yeah.

I just have to go and check on a student. You got that math homework to finish?

-[Jamie] Uh-huh. -Okay.

[door opens, closes]

Oh! Dude! You got lucky! You're actually trash!

Lucky! Man, I invented this game.

What the hell, man? Oh, Mr. Bennett, what's up?

I got a tip that you know something about the theft of my historical artifact.

I… I don't. [laughs]

Oh boy. What'd you steal now, bro?

Nothing, man. Seriously. I didn't take anything. I swear.

Somebody sent me an email and said you did.

-Well, it… it wasn't me. -[Javi] Okay, come on.

Brinker, just tell him what you did with this artifact, man.

[laughing]

[Josh] Oh, okay. I get it.

Bro, seriously? I didn't steal it, Mr. Bennett. I don't know who did.

How about I talk to Coach Carlson and get you kicked off the hockey team?

Whoa, relax, all right? It won't happen again.

-It better not! -[ball clatters]

Okay, sorry.

-[Josh] Hey. -That was, uh, intense.

-You all right? -Yeah, I just…

-I brought you a coffee. -[Josh] Thank you.

[laughs]

You, um… You wanna go talk?

Yeah, sure.

Something was stolen from me.

And you… you thought those kids did it?

[sighs] Yeah, one of them pulled a prank and said the other one stole it.

What was stolen?

A historical artifact that's been in my family for generations.

I'd be upset if something like that went missing too.

This artifact is clearly important to you.

What is it exactly?

Well, if I… if I talk about it, you'll think I've lost my mind.

You had a dollhouse replica of my home.

Yet I'm still here.

[chuckles]

[smacks lips]

It's a, um… It's a twisted-looking piece of rare iron.

It sorta looks like a melted musket ball,

and it dates back to the Revolutionary War.

It was passed down in my family for generations along with something else.

What's the something else?

My ancestor's journal entry.

It details where the object came from.

So where'd it come from?

You sure you wanna hear this?

He describes it as an opening in a cavern.

[inhales deeply]

A doorway.

A doorway to what?

To the Beyond.

A spirit world of staggering supernatural power.

I think that the artifact that was stolen

is the key to opening this doorway

if I could just find it.

Is that why you came here to Matheson?

To find this doorway?

We needed the change of scenery, but it was one of the big reasons.

How is it possible that you're not calculating

the shortest distance to the nearest looney bin?

Because I've been exactly where you are.

You harangued some hockey bros over a 300-year-old piece of melted iron?

I tried to make sense of a completely senseless tragedy.

After Rendell was murdered,

I was looking for answers, which is why I moved here.

I thought this can't be random. There has to be something more to it.

I was…

I was looking for clues or connections, you know,

grasping for anything to make sense of it.

Listen, not because there was, but because I needed there to be.

You can't tell me that it wouldn't help to know definitively

that there's something beyond this mortal plane.

Wouldn't it give you some sense of peace over Rendell

to know that he's out there somewhere, and…

[sighs]

…you could see him again?

It's okay to lose yourself a little bit.

[inhales deeply] You just have to make sure you find yourself again.

[exhales]

Sage words.

Probably because they're what Joe Ridgeway said to me

when I was sitting right where you are now.

To find myself again,

I needed to accept what happened.

I don't think I'm there yet.

-Hey. -Hey.

So I'm pretty much set up. [sighs]

You don't have to do this, you know. Be here.

What? [laughs]

Kinsey, what else am I gonna do?

-[sighs] -How would I--

Thank you.

Yeah, of course. [laughs]

-Rocky Road. -[Kinsey chuckles]

What are friends for?

[gentle music playing]

What if I don't wanna be just friends anymore?

-[knocking on door] -[door opens]

It's time.

[Scot exhales]

[scoffs]

We should just get to it.

[romantic music playing]

[chuckles]

What were we even doing again?

[both chuckling]

[vehicle approaching]

[sinister music playing]

[engine idling]

[sighs]

You ready?

Yeah.

[turns off engine]

Hey, guys!

-Hey! -[Kinsey] New wheels?

Oh, yeah.

Some guy in my dorm let me borrow it.

-I like it. -[Gabe] Thanks.

-Hey. -Hey.

[inhales deeply]

Oh my God. I… I can't believe Duncan's better.

It's such good news.

I know! I can't believe it myself. Seemed like a total lost cause.

Well, where is he?

Upstairs, I think. Talking to his fiancé Brian in Japan.

[suspenseful music playing]

He's here.

[radio beeps]

[Scot] Incoming. Repeat, incoming.

Repeat, incoming.

Copy.

[sighs]

-[door opens] -[Gabe] I ran into Eden in the commons.

She told me how much she really wanted to work on the movie.

-Really? -Yeah.

She said that she regretted quitting

and not being a part of the first film, so…

Right, Eden?

-Sure. [chuckles] -[Kinsey] Great!

The more, the merrier.

Scot's upstairs setting up the first shot. He sent you the script, right?

Yeah. I can't believe he finished it. I thought he had writer's block.

Yeah, I guess inspiration struck. [chuckles]

[suspenseful music playing]

So your mom doesn't mind we're taking up the house for the day?

No, she's at work.

What about Erin? Where is she?

She's gone.

Gone where?

No one knows.

We think she just wanted to make a clean break.

Start over somewhere.

Makes sense.

[Bode] Whac-a-Bode 2.0.

[mimicking beeping] Whac-a-Tyler! Lightning round!

I don't remember agreeing to these rules or even playing.

-Agh! -[Tyler] Get off! Get off! My turn.

-What's up, guys? -[Tyler sighs]

Hey, thanks again, man, for helping find the Memory Key.

-Duncan wouldn't be whole without it. -I'm happy that I could help.

I can't wait to see him.

[Kinsey] Eden volunteered to help out.

I was thinking maybe craft services?

Craft what?

Like putting together the snacks for the crew.

Mm-hmm.

[chuckles] I love snacks.

Me too. They're yummy.

Perfect.

You can work with Tyler in the kitchen. We'll be upstairs.

[Bode] Agh!

[Tyler] Come on.

-[Bode] Agh! -So Duncan's gonna help out too?

-Yeah, as soon as he's done with his call. -All right, cool.

Ah! Nephropida himself!

-Hey, what's up, man? -Hey.

Listen, I, uh…

I really appreciate you still being game to do this

despite our little… [clicks tongue] dustup.

[chuckles] It's water under the bridge.

Okay, cool. Right, so let's get to it. Did you get a chance to read the script?

-Yeah, I did. It's great. -[exhales]

It feels like, you know, if Carpenter made Beauty and the Beast.

Oh, I'm blushing. [laughs]

Okay, so our first scene is Amanda's dream sequence,

wherein our heroine envisions Nephropida as a human man.

-All right. -[Scot] Okay?

Where's Doug?

Uh, Douglas, yes.

Ah, he, uh, had to pop out to get a couple of gels

for our day for night stuff we're shooting later.

What about Zadie?

Called in sick. Some bad fish in Bill's chowder last night.

[tense music playing]

-Should have gone with Phil's. [laughs] -Phil's! [laughs]

Okay, so find your marks just there, and let's just walk through it.

[music intensifies, ends]

Okay, we've got water, soda, juice. Uh…

Those are my uncle's.

I'll make sure to tell him "thank you" when I see him.

[gulping]

-Mmm. -[Tyler] Okay.

We've got lunch meats so we can make sandwiches.

How about you make the sandwiches,

and I go upstairs to see what they're up to? Hmm? [chuckles]

Uh, wait, Eden.

Wanna see a magic trick?

No, not really.

Come on. It'll only be a second.

Just watch.

[Eden chuckling] Fine.

[playful music playing]

Try and keep your eye on the grape. [sighs]

[music continues]

Okay, where's the grape?

Pick one.

Pick one!

Okay. Jesus, relax.

This one.

[sighs] You lose.

[key cranks and clicks]

[muffled] What the hell?

[playful music continues]

[screaming]

Let me out, you…

[muffled yelling]

-[tapping] -[banging]

-Holy shit. It worked. -Of course it worked.

-[sighing] Okay. -[Eden's muffled screaming]

I'm gonna go check on them upstairs. You good here?

Piece of cake.

[screaming continues]

Aloha.

[muffled screaming]

Okay, remember, this is the first time you guys are really seeing each other,

at least in the dream.

All right, and action on rehearsal.

[sighs]

-Gabe? -Hmm? Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry.

-It's you. -[footsteps approaching]

You… You recognize me?

Somehow, I just knew that there was more to you

than that shell.

All this time,

I never really knew if you saw me.

I see you now.

[Scot] And cut.

Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt.

[Scot] Okay, nice. Gabe.

So let's try a little bit more relief when we see Amanda's acceptance here.

Next go-around, yeah?

-All right. -[Scot] Great.

[suspenseful music playing]

Just a minute. Apologies. Crew of one today and whatnot.

Your face when that came down. You were all, "What? What?"

[mimics Eden screaming, snickers]

[grunts]

-[yelling] -[punching on glass]

[panting]

[sinister music playing]

[yelling]

Uh-oh.

Hold on to the cup, Jamie!

[yelling]

Where's Eden?

Uh… [sighs]

Bode trapped her with some new magic trick of his.

-[scoffs] Been there. -[Scot] Okay, cool.

Just a quick lighting fix, and we should be good to go.

Oh bollocks. I've left my light meter in Kinsey's room.

I can go get it.

Great. Uh, it's in my camera bag. Outside pocket.

[music continues]

Don't you think Amanda should take Nephropida's hand here?

Uh… Yeah, I like that.

-[key cranks] -[Scot] How do you feel, Nephropida?

[birds chirping]

Yeah, sure.

[music continues]

[key clicks]

[bird twittering]

[grunting]

[in demonic voice] You bitch!

[Kinsey] Help! Scot, Tyler!

[all grunting]

No! [gasps]

[Kinsey grunting]

[Josh] Jamie?

Hey, what did I tell you about coming in here when I'm not home?

I was just playing.

This is not a toy. This is an antique. Take your arm out.

[yelling]

-[Jamie] Dad! -[yelling, grunting]

[panting]

[screaming furiously]

That's weird.

-[key clicks] -When'd you get this key?

Okay, go to your room. I have work to do.

[tense music playing]

-[all grunting] -[Gabe] No!

[grunting]

-[chain clinking] -[grunting]

[chain rattling]

Guess we're doing this the hard way.

-[Gabe grunts] -[Tyler groans]

Tyler!

-[groaning] -[grunting]

[grunts, pants]

Where's your uncle?

[Duncan] I'm right here, asshole.

Ah. The man of the hour.

No, no, Duncan, no!

Let 'em go, Dodge.

[Gabe] Fine by me. All I need is you.

[Kinsey grunting]

[screaming in pain]

Thanks, Scot.

[groaning]

[panting]

I was wondering how I might get that back.

[groaning]

-[grunts] -[Kinsey] Scot!

[panting]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

Stay back! Stay back!

[laughs]

-[grunts] -[groans, grunts]

That'll be you next.

[broom clatters on ground]

[ominous music playing]

[sighs]

Guys! Guys!

Uh-oh.

Hi, Uncle Duncan.

[grunting]

[Bode] Uncle Dunc!

Told you they were onto us.

[groaning]

[Kinsey grunts]

[chain winding]

Let me go!

[panting]

Kinsey! Tyler!

[key cranks, clicks]

Uncle Dunc!

[panting, grunting]

-See you later, assclowns. -No.

What?

-We're done, Eden. -[Eden grunts]

[panting]

[panting]

[panting] Gabe!

[panting]

Where is he taking them?

[panting]

[laughs]

Are you kidding me?

[breathes deeply]

What? Are you gonna fight me?

If I need to.

Okay. I've been wanting to do this for a very long time.

Really?

Go for it.

[both screaming]

[both grunting]

[Kinsey grunts]

[yelling, grunting]

[grunting]

[panting]

[grunting]

-[yelling] -[Scot] Kinsey!

-[grunting] -[Eden yelling]

[panting]

-[yelling] -[glass shattering]

-[yelling] Get back! Get back! -Whoa, let him go!

[Eden] Get back!

-Back off! -[groaning]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Gotta hand it to you. That was impressive.

[Bode grunting]

Seriously, masterful performances by all.

[grunts]

If it weren't for that bird,

it would have been a lot closer.

So what do you want?

[indistinct whispering]

Just 'cause I made a key once doesn't mean I can do it again.

[whispering stops]

Well, I hope that's not true.

For Bode's sake.

Don't do it, Uncle Dunc!

-[chain tightening] -[grunts]

You getting enough air there?

Stop, stop, stop! I'll make the key if you let him go.

[Bode groaning]

-[chain loosening] -[exhales]

-[panting] -[Gabe] I'll do you one better.

If you make my key,

I'll let both of you go.

-[scoffs] -[Gabe] I will. I promise.

I won't give a damn about any of you once I have my key.

[breathing heavily]

To make the key, I need to know your intention.

[suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct whispering]

What do you want it to do?

Okay, just think this through, all right?

[panting]

Gabe just colossally screwed you over.

He used you. He left you here.

-He doesn't deserve your help anymore. -Okay?

Just let Scot go, and, uh, tell us where Gabe is.

Okay?

[panting]

-[grunts] -Scot!

[Scot groaning]

[Eden panting]

[engine starts, revs]

[pants]

[exhales]

[panting]

[both panting]

Just keep putting pressure on it.

-You okay? -[door opens]

Eden's gone.

[Scot sighs]

But we know he's making a key somewhere.

Through the door, it looked like some kind of cabin.

-[groans] -The question is, where?

Eden left her jacket.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Tyler] What is it?

Delivery receipts for burgers and pizza and gyros.

To an address. 60 Bear Creek Road.

-Where is that? -[Scot] Checking.

Boom. That's deep in the woods. That's way on the other side of town.

As in the kind of place you'd have a cabin with a key-making forge.

Let's hope.

Come on.

-[fire whooshing] -[indistinct whispering]

[bubbling]

You've already destroyed so much.

Where's this end for you?

[Gabe scoffs]

What about everything your brother destroyed? Hmm?

-You ever think about that? -Rendell?

His greed's the only reason I'm here. He wanted to open the Black Door

and make a key so he wouldn't have to age out of magic.

It's his fault I got into Lucas.

It's insane to think that Lucas is still in there somewhere.

Lucas was weak.

He let Rendell call all the shots.

And Ellie, he was so devoted to her, and for what? It was pathetic.

He wasn't weak.

He was funny, and he was caring, and he was kind.

He deserves better than whatever you did to him.

I don't think I'm funny? Feel like I'm caring? Kind?

-I guess it's subjective, so-- -You're going to be stopped!

Really?

Like that time you thought you killed me with your cute light sword?

How about that time your brother and sister

threw Ellie through the Black Door thinking it was me?

Stopped like that?

-Is that what you mean? -[Bode exhales]

[chain clinking]

[grunting]

You better hope your uncle does this right.

-[grunting] -[Gabe] How much longer?

[Duncan] The process is the process.

[bubbling]

Now I have to imbue the key with its intention.

[indistinct whispering]

-Is it working? -It would be if you'd shut up.

-[thudding] -[muffled yelling]

-[Duncan] Who is that? -[Gabe] Don't worry about it.

-Who's in there? -Just make the damn key.

Blood sacrifice, right?

Was Chamberlin lying about that too?

It has to be Locke blood.

[scoffs]

Of course it does.

[indistinct whispering]

-[whooshes] -[whispering intensifies]

[suspenseful music playing]

[tongs clinking]

[sizzling]

[music intensifies]

[mysterious music playing]

All right, next left.

Time?

[sighs] Still ten minutes out.

[car revving]

[animal howling]

-Is it done? -Should be.

[sizzling]

[Duncan] Okay?

Now let Bode go.

Not until I have proof that it works.

[suspenseful music playing]

[door opens]

Last good thing Eden did for me.

Get me a guinea pig.

-Are you kidding me? -[Gabe] I gotta try it out on someone.

Unless you want me to try it out on your little nephew.

-You'll regret this. -Doubt it.

See, in the world I come from, the chaos consumes us,

and we consume the chaos.

But over here,

this world has so much potential to be reborn and consumed.

-To be ruled. -[panting]

[panting] Hey, man. This isn't funny, bro.

Might not be funny,

but it is gonna be fun.

I'm so sorry.

[Javi whimpers]

That's incredible.

All right, hold still, Javi, buddy. Come on. This isn't gonna hurt.

I don't know, it might. I actually don't know.

[key cranks]

[demonic scream]

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

[sighs]

[Gabe] Javi.

Go smash your head against the wall.

[Javi grunting, banging head]

All right, stop.

[banging stops]

[Javi panting]

You did good, Uncle Dunc.

Clean yourself up.

Thank you for your help. You're free to go.

[chain retracting]

[panting]

Hey.

Come on, come on. Let's get out of here. Go!

[door opens]

-Where are we? -[Duncan] No idea.

We need to get as far away as possible, as fast as possible.

You ready for your second test?

Of course.

Kill 'em both.

[sighs]

[door opens, closes]

[both panting]

[Duncan] He lied. We gotta run now! Go!

[frantic orchestral music playing]

[Bode] Look!

There's a road! Hey! Come here. We gotta split up.

-Why? -Just run towards the road!

-What are you doing? -[Duncan] Just go! Go!

[music continues]

Hey!

This way.

[music continues]

[foreboding music playing]

[vehicle approaching]

[frantic orchestral music playing]

[brakes squeaking]

[keys jingling]

-[car doors closing] -Is this it?

This is the address.

-How deep in the woods is this place? -Guys! Guys, help!

Oh my God.

Stay with the car. Get ready to pull out of here.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

-Where's Uncle Duncan? -Uncle Dunc made a key for Gabe.

Gabe used it on Javi, and then he started chasing after us.

[frantic orchestral music playing]

-[Javi yells] -[grunts]

-[Javi yells] -[grunts]

[yelling, grunting]

[grunting continues]

-Go to the car with Scot. -Okay.

[Tyler] Wait for us there.

[grunting]

[yelling]

[Tyler grunts]

[panting]

[panting] Hey, Ty.

-What did he do to you? -I don't know, man.

But it feels good.

-Agh! -[Tyler groaning]

[Javi panting]

Sorry, bro. Gotta finish you.

[Kinsey grunts]

[grunts]

-[Kinsey] Dunc, are you okay? Come on. -[Duncan groans]

Come on, come on, come on come on, come on, come on.

There!

[engine starts]

[all panting]

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

[panting]

Hit it!

[engine revving]

[frantic orchestral music playing]

[music ends]

["Kick the Door" by Betta Lemme playing]

What happened?

They got away.

It's not the end of the world.

[exhales]

Let's go make you some new friends.
