Nobody with my family!

Vanessa is alive?

You saw her?

Yeah, she's in the Dark Realm.

She's trying to figure out a way to control it somehow,

but she was able to open a portal

that sent me to the past.

What we need is to split up.

I hate to say it, but splitting the two of you up

is the only way to make sure that at least one of you

makes it to the Oracle.

I'll take first watch.

No. I got it.

I can't sleep, anyway.

That's what you said last night.

Yeah, and I'm saying it again tonight.

Except you didn't wake me up for my shift.

You're gonna have to get some sleep sometime, Violet.

Julius wasn't your fault, you know.

Got it.

You're just like your mother, you know that?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[wolf howling]

[whispering] Axel.

Axel.

Axel.

Vi?

Violet?

Where the ...?

[loud growling]

[echoing] Axel.

What are you?

[coughing]

[gasping]

Hey.

Vanessa.

[coughing]

Axel...

I'm here. I'm here.

I'm here. I'm here.

Hello?

Hello?

It's ok, it's ok.

I got you, I got you, I got you.

Ok, I got you.

Hang in there.

Ok, there we go.

Goddamn, you made a mess.

Alright, I'm just gonna go get some-

No. Stay.

Ok. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I ain't going anywhere.

How did you get here?

Uh, I was kinda hoping you were gonna tell me that.

Where is "here"?

We're in the Dark Realm.

Say what?

It's a little Betty Crocker for the Dark Realm,

don't you think?

The Dark One must have reconstructed this place

from my past in order to torture me.

That's what that thing was out there?

That was the Dark One?

No, I think it's just some kind of guard dog

to keep me from escaping.

That thing knew who I was.

Like, it was familiar.

Well, whatever it is we need to get past it

and get to that door.

That door, the one out there, that's the-

that's the way out of here?

Yeah.

Yes, I think so.

I keep getting pulled to it.

It's like my mind, it's screaming

just get through that door

and get back in the fight.

Every time I try, that thing comes out and stops me.

Or tries to kill you is more like it.

How long have you been here?

I'm not sure time, as we know it, applies here.

Some days it feels like years.

Other times it feels like hours.

Well... why here?

I mean, what's so special about this farmhouse?

This is where Sam killed Susan.

And I should have killed Sam.

Instead I created a monster.

No.

[sobs]

No.

[sobbing]

Oh! No!

No!!!

[cocks gun]

Why?

Why did you do it, Sam?

It's who I am.

Who I've always been.

Since I was a boy.

Since you were a boy?

Yeah.

What kind of sick ...

Wait for me in the house, Mohamad.

Woah, woah, woah. What're you gonna do?

I'm gonna take Sam for a walk. Straighten things out.

No.

Do what you gotta do here.

I don't want gun shots attracting ferals to the house.

Well, I wanna come.

No, you don't.

Trust me.

You need me.

You need me to translate.

I don't expect much talking.

Walk.

That's far enough.

You know why.

Don't listen to him, Mohamad.

Ok?

He's a psychopath,

and manipulating his victims is part of the thrill.

Tell him to close his eyes.

Tell him.

Tell him to close his eyes, Mohamad.

Tell him to close his eyes!

Do what you gotta do.

Mohamad?

Yeah.

See what you've done to your friend?

To Susan?

To me?

All I ever do, protect you.

No.

Everyone you killed trusted you.

Susan was weak.

You know that is danger.

Shut up.

Tell her!

Close your eyes!

Tell her!

Shut your goddamn eyes!

Tell her! Tell her!

Tell her the truth!

If you don't, I will.

[cries out]

Mohamad!

[coughing]

Let's go.

What?

Leave him here to die.

He doesn't deserve a quick death.

We're not killers.

Karma will take care of the rest.

[cries out in agony]

Goodbye, Sam.

[wailing]

[exhales rapidly]

[cries out]

Mohamad!

Mohamad!

I wanted Sam to suffer for what he did,

but my anger, my rage,

was the beginning of so much darkness.

She loved this place.

I'm glad she gets to spend eternity here.

They're together.

Family again.

Just you and me now.

Yep.

[wailing]

It's done.

[panting]

Where to next?

-God, I mean, we could- -Shh.

[Sam indistinctly yelling]

Choices have consequences.

[Sam indistinctly yelling]

Is that...

Revenge.

Justice.

No, we gotta go. We gotta go, now.

[Sam laughing maniacally]

Those are just different words for suffering.

Since you're stuck in my own personal hell,

the least I could do is be a good host.

Thank you.

Aaah.

Hot.

Feels real.

It wouldn't be hell without pain, right?

So this is the Dark Realm.

How the hell did I get here?

I don't know.

Who's to say you're not a figment

of my imagination sent to torture me?

Who's to say you're not a figment of my imagination?

Last I remember I was at a campfire.

Shit, Violet.

What about Violet?

Well, if I'm here, like really here,

then she's alone.

Alone?

What about the others?

What about Jack?

She's- she's fine.

She's... ok, last I saw her.

We had to split up for safety.

Julius...

He died protecting Violet.

All of us, really.

The only thing bigger than him was his heart.

We're all supposed to meet up in D.C.

and finish this thing.

D.C.?

The Dark One's holed up in the White House.

Got everyone convinced she's the president.

The Dark One is in the goddamn White House?

[scoffs]

Violet and Jack, they can't face her alone.

She's too powerful.

Those kids are tougher than you think.

They'll be killed!

I can't...

I can't let that happen again.

Dylan: Mom?

Mom, where are you?

I wasn't fighting for me.

I was fighting to try and save my daughter.

Mom!

Mom!

[groaning]

Mom?

Mom?

[ragged breathing]

Mom.

[vomiting]

Mom?

[ragged breathing]

Oh, my gosh, no.

Mama.

[sobbing]

Mama, there's so much blood.

Find Susan.

Call the police and call your father.

[sobbing]

Please, mama, no.

I love you.

I love you, mom.

Please, mom.

Mom, mom, no.

Mom, mom, mom.

[sobbing]

Please, no!

If I had known what was to come

maybe I would have wished it killed me and Dylan.

Maybe then it wouldn't have been so painful.

Turn around.

I want you to look at me before I kill you.

When we were finally reunited I realized how much I failed her.

Dylan.

Hello, mother.

You can't save someone who's already been lost.

A part of me knew that, but guilt isn't rational.

And the dark choices continued.

We have to keep moving.

[out of breath]

Dylan.

Please... please feed me.

Dylan, I can't.

I want to, but I could hurt you.

Come on.

Please, please don't kill me.

Please.

I'm not gonna kill you, ok?

You're not gonna turn, but I need to feed her.

She's a vampire.

You have to kill her.

She's my daughter.

I'm so- sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Do you have kids?

No.

Then you don't understand.

[snarling]

Hold out your arm.

Pull up the sleeve.

I promise I will not bleed you out, ok?

[snarling]

[gun shot]

I- I need- I need to feed.

[choking]

[snarling]

You're gonna be ok.

Mom, it hurts.

It hurts. It hurts.

Even though I knew my intentions were good

I felt a dark instinct driving me.

I'm sorry Dylan, but I'm gonna try.

The darkness already took my baby,

so I couldn't let it take us both.

I'm gonna try to turn you.

I fought against it.

No.

No, please. I'm gonna die! I'll die! I'll die!

No, no, you will not die. I will not let you die.

I won't let you die.

Please, I'm scared. I can't. I can't.

It's ok, sweetie.

I can't.

I'm scared, too. I'm scared, too.

I love you.

No.

You're all I've ever really loved, you know that?

Please.

Please don't do this to me.

[sobbing]

I'll be gentle, ok?

I'll be gentle.

[sobbing]

[cries out]

[vomiting]

Dylan! Dylan!

Mom?

Oh, my baby.

Mom!

You're ok.

Hi.

You're ok.

[laughing]

What're you laughing at?

I got her back.

My gift had washed all the darkness away.

We beat it.

Don't get me!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

That's better.

Stop!

No, I need that neck sugar!

Come here!

No!

Do you think she remembers?

Or that she's just pretending.

I don't know.

And I don't care.

She's back.

That's all that matters.

So what's next?

Who knows?

We have today, that's enough for me.

Ooh!

[laughs]

Dylan.

I'm gonna get you.

I have a massive snowball in my hands.

Dylan?

And the cruelest thing.

[gasping]

It was the light that took her.

Mom!

And it was all because of me.

Mom!

Dylan!

Dylan, it's ok. It's ok, Dylan.

It's ok.

Dylan, it's ok.

It's ok. No, no, no!!!

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

[screaming] No!!!!!!

[screaming]

Come on.

Are you crazy? Stop!

I have to try again.

So you can get ripped to shreds?

We need a plan.

I have tried every which way to fight that thing, to evade it,

and I've never gotten more than 10 feet from that door.

What makes you think it'll be different this time?

It probably won't.

But Jack and Violet,

they need our help now more than ever so I have to try.

Ok. Ok. Ok.

What- what about this?

If this is your own mental prison,

maybe you're the reason I'm here.

What?

When that thing was attacking me,

right before you found me, I wished you were here.

And then there you were.

Like you always were when things got bad.

Vanessa, wait.

Even at our lowest points

we always seemed to find each other.

Like some unexplainable tether connecting us.

Axel?

Hey, sleeping beauty.

The tether started out as duty, but even that got corrupted.

Finally turned to hate.

I know you're there.

It doesn't have to be this way.

[gun shots]

Ain't no other way it can be.

Go on, then.

I told you the next time I saw you I'd kill you.

Axel, listen.

[groans]

Shit.

I don't want to hurt you, Axel.

A little late for that now, sleeping beauty.

Why hide now, huh?

What's the matter? You lose your edge?

What happened to that blood lust?

I've changed, Axel.

Yeah, me too.

The second you put that blade in her heart.

You're supposed to be the answer to all this, you know.

And end all the misery and the pain.

I still can be.

How're you gonna do that? Are you gonna bring her back?

Hmm?

You gonna bring all of them back?

No, this is the way it's gotta be.

Killing me won't stop the pain.

Well, let's give it a shot.

[gun shots]

You can't hide from me forever.

Only one of us is gonna walk away from here.

[gun shots]

[gun shots]

You ready to talk?

Yeah, sure. Come on.

Let's talk.

I'm sorry, Axel.

Save it.

[fighting grunts]

[groans]

[spits]

[out of breath]

You finished?

You're gonna have to kill me.

I won't do that.

[fighting grunts]

I'm not gonna hurt you!

You kill everyone you get close to,

why should I be any different?

[fighting grunts]

All I ever tried to do was to protect her.

To protect Dylan.

I've lost everything.

Yeah, well-

[groans]

Including you!

The one person in this up world

that was supposed to have my back!

I've accepted the losses, and what it gave me was purpose.

[groans]

Axel! Axel!

Axel.

No, no, no! Don't do that!

Axel.

There.

Another curse, thanks to you.

So this is it, huh?

How this all ends?

I guess so.

You gonna cut off my head?

Killing me would be killing what she sacrificed herself for.

you.

you, too.

I think I brought you here, and for that I'm sorry.

Your hell's always been my hell, sleeping beauty.

So if I did bring you here

then I must have some control over this place.

What're you thinking?

What if the Dark One didn't create this place

to trap me in the Dark Realm?

What if I created this place?

As an escape route out of the Dark Realm,

and you're here to help me figure out how.

So you think you created this place

like some kind of bread crumb trail

to help you get out of the Dark Realm.

I know it seems like a stretch

but I'm grasping at desperate straws here, Axel.

Ok.

So you're trapped in the Dark Realm

and you somehow create this dream land kind of a place

where nothing but horrible memories happen.

There's an evil bog monster

keeping you from getting out the exit door

until you figure out whatever it is you need to figure out.

Yeah.

Well, maybe that's what you need to figure out.

Why I'm here.

So that you can realize that you were in control the whole time.

I don't know. It doesn't feel right.

Well, let's go fight that darkness and see what happens.

Axel, it's too simple.

You've been fighting the darkness

ever since you got off that slab at the hospital.

If you can't beat this thing...

I don't see what other help I can be.

You know I've been fighting darkness a lot longer than that.

Not just in front of me but within me.

Ever since I was a child.

But why did we have to leave her?

No, no, no, no, no.

Vanessa, please stop.

Your father needs to drive and he needs to focus.

He's not my father! He's not, he's not!

Goddammit, I'm trying to keep you both alive!

Watch out!

[screeching tires]

[crashing metal]

[whispers]

I was never scared.

It felt... familiar.

Like a missing piece.

[thunder rolls]

[whispering continues]

The darkness felt inescapable,

like it was wrapping its arms around me.

A cruel comfort.

I've seen you before.

[crash]

In the beginning.

When I was a kid.

When your rage first began.

You get a kick out of that? Scaring little kids?

I come to those who show promise.

Promise of what?

I think you know, deep inside you.

It has to be you.

What're you doing, Scarlett?

You are our only hope.

Don't do it.

Scarlett.

You will end the Dark One.

Please don't.

Don't do it.

You.

No.

You.

Scarlett, no.

Don't do it.

[screams] No!!!

[sobbing] No!!!

Scarlett no!!!

And there it was again.

No!

The loss, the pain.

Maybe as much as I wanted to believe that I...

I wasn't destined to be the light.

I gave you everything.

I gave you everything I had just to save you.

And you do this?

[sobbing]

You could have stopped her.

You're the strong one!

You can't fight the darkness, you are the darkness!

What if I was wrong?

What if the darkness out there is me?

Are you sure about this?

Nope, but what choice do we have?

Not getting your head ripped off?

This might all be a mental construct,

but it also might not be.

You're saying you don't want me to do this. Noted.

I'm saying up to this point it's all just talk,

we don't know shit.

Master Tsui says ignorance is just a lesson to be learned.

Let's go learn something.

Who's Master Tsui?

You think it'll show?

It always does.

Ok, well, what do you want me to do?

Well, if we're wrong, try not to let it kill me.

Don't be wrong.

[growling]

It's now or never.

There's no need for disguises anymore.

I know what you are.

Back for more?

Holy shit, you were right.

You said it yourself.

I am the darkness.

When will you learn?

You can never defeat me.

[scoffs]

Who says I need to defeat you?

You have fought me your entire life.

A life filled with pain.

Failure.

See, that was my problem.

I thought I had to fight you.

To destroy you.

So that I could become the light.

We both know there's no light without darkness,

but I know now that the darkness is a part of me.

Always has been, always will be.

Then you understand.

I will be your death.

Hmm.

Do you still think you can beat me?

Fighting you has been like

fighting an integral part of who I am.

I need to own who... what I am.

Time to take control of my darkness.

You're a fool if you think you can control me.

Woah, woah, woah.

You're wrong.

This place has made me stronger than I could ever imagine.

I realize that I'm not the light.

The darkness will destroy you.

Unless I destroy it first.

[groans]

Vanessa?

Are you ok?

Yeah, you?

I think so, yeah.

Yeah, for the first time in a long time, I am.

[door opens]

It looks like we can go home now.

You're not really here.

When I go through that portal

you'll wake up right where you were.

Right.

What about you?

You said the Dark One is in D.C.?

That's where I'll be.

You're just gonna stroll up to the White House,

take down the whole military by yourself?

Yeah, I'll need a disguise.

Someone the Dark One will never suspect.

I got the perfect candidate.

Axel.

Axel, wake up.

Axel, wake up.

Come on.

Axel, wake up!

Axel!

It's ok. It's ok.

You were having a nightmare.

I couldn't wake you up.

It scared the shit out of me.

That was no nightmare.

Then what was it?

Vanessa.

She's back.

So why didn't she come with you here

so we can go together?

You know, strength in numbers?

I'm sure she's got a plan.

She didn't share it with you?

Look, I told you, she put her hands on my head

and the next thing I know I wake up here.

She was never really a big sharer.

How do you know that the darkness didn't control her?

Oh, she's in control.

You can count on that.

Ok, well what if she needs our help?

She definitely needs our help.

We gotta get to D.C. first.

Ok, but what if-

Look, kid, you gotta trust her, ok?

I know I do.

You trust her, right?

Yeah.

I trust her, I just wish I knew where she was.

You and me both.
