-Wait, you want to save Mother? -That's right.
No, we have a plan.
The plan is to save you and then kill Mother.
-I'm calling an audible. -You can't double audible.
Can someone tell me what is going on?
It's a long story and very weird.
I can take the short version.
The Boroughs is fucked up.
Okay, the short version is that a man called Edward broke into my home,
told me there was an owl in the walls…
-What's wrong? -Everything. Where are you?
Boroughs back roads. Seriously, what's wrong?
Oh, so much.
I, um… I did something a little rash, and, um, I'm now in big trouble.
Meaning?
I kind of sort of kidnapped Mother.
You what?!
Hey, I am trying to save the world here. I don't need the tone.
-…went to his house at night… -Okay, get to the community center.
It's closed during the anniversary.
-We'll meet you there. -Right. Wait, who's "we"?
It's a whole goddamn group project now.
Over and out.
Okay, I'm sure I-- God damn it.
Then Art stole the laundry van.
Hell yeah, I did.
So I have a "good news, bad news" kind of a situation.
Wally has Mother.
He does?
Yes, I told him to meet us at the community center.
Art.
Triple audible. Everybody hold on.
Mother was here when I did my rounds a few hours ago.
Wally couldn't have gotten her f--
-Shut up. -Yeah.
Sam Cooper's hooligans broke him out of The Manor.
They're on the run.
Now, don't worry. I've put our best men on the--
I've put our best men on the gates.
No one is escaping The Boroughs.
And in the meantime…
In the meantime, we have to keep up appearances.
I have my speech, and then you're going--
I don't care about speeches.
Or Sam Cooper.
Mother is all that matters.
I will find her.
You have to trust me.
Haven't we endured enough?
Don't worry, my love.
Time is on our side.
Hi, everybody.
Hi there.
Hello.
Oh my.
That's a lot of people.
Hello.
Okay.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Incognito is the vibe.
Oh!
Not that way, not that way.
Thank you for coming out on a surprisingly chilly night.
Let's just keep all our limbs inside and don't let anybody actually…
Excuse me, sir. Where are you two headed?
Oh, uh, me and the missus were just enjoying the festivities.
-Missus got a name? -Oh, yeah.
Sure does. She has a name.
It's, uh… Petunia.
You look busy.
Come on, Prudence, let's just, uh, go somewhere else.
I need to talk to the boss.
We should be safe enough in here until Wally arrives.
At least it's ominous.
It's best not to draw attention.
Right.
Oh, hey, there's a lost and found under that table.
If anybody wants to look less conspicuous.
Dad…
You okay?
Dad?
What's wrong?
She's here.
Hey there. Sorry we're late.
So, without any further ado,
it is my pleasure to introduce to you the man of the hour.
You know him and you all love him.
I love him.
Our CEO and handsome devil, Blaine Shaw.
Hello, folks. Thank you. Thank you very much. That's very kind.
It's my pleasure to welcome you all to the 75th anniversary of The Boroughs.
You know, anniversaries offer us an opportunity to reflect on the past
and to plan for the future.
As Robert Browning said, "The best is yet to be."
Actually, the…
Actually, that's… that's a lie.
The full quote is,
"Grow old along with me."
"The best is yet to be."
That's another lie.
The… The only certainty in an uncertain universe
is that all things end.
Time is a thief in the night.
It steals our youth. Our joy. Our love. It…
It grinds us down and down until
all that's left is dust.
But not here.
The Boroughs is a fortress.
A citadel blazing in the dark.
The Boroughs is a promise turned to brick and stone that says,
"The best is not to come."
"It's now."
"It's here."
"Together."
We have to get her to safety, far away from The Boroughs.
We got to get her to a doctor. She doesn't look healthy.
No, I am a doctor.
-What about our plan? -You want to kill her?
Well, not anymore.
-She's a miracle. -She's eating chalk.
Her blood is the key.
I'll take that, honey.
Her blood is the key to curing disease.
Here you go, take that.
No more sickness. No more suffering.
No more death.
So everybody just lives forever?
Miracles come at a price.
Yeah, and who's paying that price? You?
You?
It's really easy to indulge in hypotheticals
when it's not your patients who are weeks from dying.
It's not your husband who's dying from fucking AIDS.
It's not your cells attacking you.
Blaine and his Stepford staff found the fountain of youth
and now I am gonna use it, okay?
I'm gonna use it for good. Figure out therapies.
I will figure out ways we can actually cure people, heal people.
People who…
We have to help her.
Great. Somebody finally gets it.
How do we smuggle her out to freedom?
No, that's not what she wants.
-How do you know? -She told me.
She's talking to you?
In my mind.
What does she want, Sam?
She wants to die.
Now we have to get her to Art's cave.
It's where she was born.
Her children have been preparing it for this moment.
For… For her end.
It has to be there. Now.
Absolutely not.
It's her choice to make.
No. I will not let her die.
Wally, I get it.
It's a lot to take in, and it's even more to ask,
but Blaine isn't gonna stop using The Boroughs as his personal buffet.
He thinks nobody cares about old folks.
Not even old folks.
We gotta prove him wrong.
We have to make a stand.
For Mother, for The Boroughs, for everyone.
Jack can have justice.
And we can be heroes and set things right.
Just let her go.
No.
Wally.
I can't. I won't.
We have to.
I don't want to die.
I know. Honey, I know.
I know, darling.
And if I thought for one second
that torturing that old lady for all eternity would save you,
I would be right by your side.
But it won't.
Yeah, but…
I'd be alive.
But you wouldn't be… you.
So, let me save you now
while there's still time.
Okay…
Fine.
But I'm gonna haunt you.
Well, I hope you do.
-Like forever. -Okay.
Sam, we're with you.
-How do we get to this cave? -The exits are all blocked.
I've got an idea.
One, two, three.
Hold on, there's a tunnel under the cooking class?
We can take 'em to the cave.
-That's deep. -Should we flip a coin?
Before we get down there, anything else you forgot to mention?
No. Oh, wait.
Yeah. Wally extracted some of my brain fluid,
and Renee dropped a car on Hank.
I think that's about it.
-Hello! Anyone home? -Shit, that's Blaine.
Get to the tunnels. I'll buy you time to get away.
Why do you get to do the self-sacrificing thing?
Called it first.
Anybody home?
-Get in there. -Help me get Mother.
-I'm staying with you. -Here, take this.
Let's get Mother in…
We know you're in here!
Jesus. Do I wanna know what I just stepped in?
Oh, you do not.
Well, do you think Judy and Art will be okay?
I've seen Judy mad. I've made Judy mad.
Trust me, Blaine is the one who should be worried.
What… What's wrong with her?
Her children are there.
Yeah, Blaine keeps 'em locked under the security center.
She says we have to rescue them.
We can't rescue everyone, Sam.
They're her children, Wally.
Paz and I can go.
Why us?
You know where they are.
And Judy took the last big hero moment, so now it's your turn.
That too.
We'll free your kids.
Promise.
All right, meet you in the cave.
Okay, what about us?
We go that way.
Okay.
Where's Mother?
Whose mother? Your mother?
You lost your moms? Not cool, dude.
Ah, I see. I see the problem.
Your little adventure has riled up the blood,
agitated the humors.
You're feeling invincible, but sadly, you're not,
so… just tell me, where's Mother?
Did you check Señor Cocinas?
Everybody loves Cocinas.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, let's all take a deep, calming breath, all right?
Where's Mother?
You go to hell, Blaine.
What are you doing?
Get away from her!
Leave her alone!
Even after everything she's done to you,
you still love her.
How sweet.
Judy!
-Judy! -No, no, no, no. Don't worry.
The blade is buried
in a relatively innocuous bit of intestine.
It'll take almost a day for her to bleed out.
Single surgery, maybe a tiny bit of bowel removal,
she'd be good as new.
So… where's Mother?
All right, enough.
Stop!
Now things get interesting.
Now that blade is just millimeters from some rather vital organs.
We're talking two, maybe three surgeries now.
She's gonna need a colostomy bag,
but it's the internal bleeding that I'm worried about.
No.
Within the hour, she's gonna drown in her own blood.
Why are you doing this?
Why does anyone do anything?
Love.
Tell me where Mother is.
The oven's ripped apart.
The tunnels.
-Are they taking her to the cave? -Yes!
Judy… I got you, baby.
Going after the others?
No need. Go to security. Corral them into the cul-de-sac.
We'll bring these two with us in case we need a bargaining chip.
Nobody's here.
Give me a hand.
Be careful.
I got you. That's it.
Oh, it stinks.
They're, uh… They're looking at us.
Yeah, well, they're, uh… curious.
Hey, control panel.
Ah, it's not working. It's not opening the cages.
-Looks like it needs a key. -Yeah.
Hello, love birds.
Welcome to my humble abode.
The largest tunnel systems in the world are underneath Disney World.
They call them utilidors.
No, it's not the largest tunnel system in the world.
-Yeah, it is. -The Delaware aqueduct is larger.
-That's not a utility tunnel. -You didn't say utility tunnels.
You said tunnels.
Can we save the great tunnel debate till after I'm dead?
So, which way now?
-That way. -Are you sure?
She's sure.
What the fuck?
-They know we're here. -This is a trap.
No, we're being herded.
Yeah, right into a trap.
Probably, but what choice do we have?
Come on.
Was he always such a stubborn bastard?
You have no idea.
Hold on, hold on. Wait for me.
Easy, hotshot.
I can't imagine I'd be too good in a fight after my little fender bender,
but let's not test that theory, huh?
You know that band you were in?
Cowboy Renegade?
Yeah, you guys rocked hard.
-I didn't know you were a fan. -Oh, yeah.
I thought it'd be cool if we could be, like, friends.
You know? Like… hombres.
It's hard when you're the boss.
Sure.
And now they've taken my job,
stuck me down here with the kids until I'm "presentable."
Yeah, the least Blaine could have done is get you a nice hotel room or something.
Ain't that the truth.
You know, I went from working in a prison to living in one…
Thanks to Blaine.
Maybe you could… help us.
Now, why would I do that?
Because there is nothing better than sticking it to someone
who stuck it to you first.
Huh.
Fuck Blaine.
What about you?
Me?
I'll let time do what it does best.
Wipe things clean.
Sure those things aren't going to rip us apart?
Nope.
-Clear. -Wally, can you help me?
Okay, okay. Now, take her arm.
No, your arm.
Where is she going?
Over on the chair.
-Okay. -Yeah, here.
Hello? Anybody got a free hand?
You okay?
Hey? Hello?
Okay. Here, I'm here.
-Okay, hold on. I'm here. Okay. -Hey. Great.
Whoa!
Guys, we have to assume Blaine is on his way.
Not a moment to lose.
Oh, we can take my car.
And go where? We'll still be trapped in The Boroughs.
No, here's where we make our stand.
Our stand? We don't have any weapons,
unless they're allergic to mid-century modern.
-We have a weapon. -Oh, this doesn't work.
It works.
I changed out the transformer so that the amplifiers don't overload.
I added a little more coil to increase the power of the beam, but…
What about the voltage spikes?
Silver mica capacitors.
Sorry to interrupt this father-daughter nerd moment.
The bad guys are coming.
Yeah, right. Let's get these TVs in the garage. I have a plan.
-Okay. -Go.
Okay.
This better work, Sam.
Hi.
Uh…
Something you should know.
Is there?
Yeah, I, um, just…
I… quit.
Welcome to The Boroughs.
We hope you have the time of your life.
Run! Run!
We have to help them!
Don't!
I'm out.
I love you.
Is it over?
I… I think so.
Help!
It's Judy, help!
-Get her down. -You're okay.
Okay, I'm here, baby.
I'm here, baby. Somebody call 911.
My phone is dead.
The blast from the TVs fried them all.
Can you get me a towel? I need a towel. Okay. Thank you. Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna move your hands, Judy. Just give me your hand.
Let me move that, okay? I need to see what's going on, okay?
Okay.
Oh, oh.
Okay. Jesus.
Oh, she needs a hospital.
I can't…
-Well, get her to one. -I…
She's out of time.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no! No! No!
-Just… -No! No!
-No! -Hey.
Come on baby, come on.
I'm here. Don't go anywhere.
Stay with me, now. Don't go anywhere, now.
Remember…
…when we went to the Grand Canyon with the kids?
I remember we tried to go to the Grand Canyon.
You got us lost.
I knew where I was.
I just didn't know how to get to where we were going.
We pulled over to a big old empty lake…
in the middle of nowhere.
We jumped in.
Swam in our clothes.
Oh boy, you looked so beautiful.
Standing in the water there, laughing with the kids.
Mmm.
It was a good day.
Well, we never did make it to the Grand Canyon.
Don't, don't, don't! No, no, no, Judy, no, don't!
No, Judy! Judy!
Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
Come on, baby!
Judy. Judy.
What does she want?
She wants to help.
Hey, Art. It's okay. You can trust her.
Well, that's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
I have to get her to the cave. Now.
Okay.
-Careful. -I got it.
Okay.
Almost there. One, two, easy.
-Nice. -I'm coming with you.
-She said I have to go alone. -I don't care what she says.
-You're my dad. I'm not gonna let you go-- -Claire…
I couldn't help your mom.
And I wasn't good at helping you.
But I can help her.
I need you to trust me, Claire.
Please.
Okay, but I'm not gonna be happy about it.
Bye-bye, Butterfly.
See you soon, Raccoon.
Hey, cowboy, be careful.
Ride true.
Call when you get there.
Thank you.
Careful.
There you go.
You made it.
You're welcome.
Explode? What do you mean, "explode"?
Whoa, you mean you're gonna explode?
Whoa, hold on. Not yet. Let me get clear.
You know, on second thought…
…I've decided to cancel your contract.
You're just not Boroughs material, Sam.
You took my wife from me.
It wasn't supposed to end like this, Sam.
I'm gonna bring her back.
You have no idea what Mother is…
What she's capable of.
Everything you think you've accomplished can be undone.
It's okay.
Let go.
Never.
No!
Let me go!
No…
No, I can't…
I can't die!
Everybody does.
Welcome to the club.
The screen door slams
Mary's dress sways
Like a vision She dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me, and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling, you know Just what I'm here for
So you're scared, and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Lilly?
Show a little faith…
Hey, you old grump.
Li…
But hey, you're all right
Is it really you?
It's me.
How?
She's saying, "Thank you."
Time is a gift.
How long do we have?
Are you gonna stand there asking questions, or…
are you gonna dance with your beautiful wife?
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey, what else can we do now
Except roll down the window And let the wind blow back your hair
Well, the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back Heaven's waiting down on the tracks
Oh-oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight To case the promised land
Oh-oh, Thunder Road
Oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
We'll be together again.
We are together always.
Sit tight, take hold
Thunder Road…
Sam!
Sam.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
We were supposed to meet at the cave, remember?
Oh, right.
Is that… Is that Mother?
Yes.
She's at peace.
What do you say we go home?
That sounds good to me.
Whoa!
Do you believe in magic?
Okay, dinner's up.
-Pop. Let me give you a hand. -Yeah, it's hot.
-Yeah. -You got it?
All right, Art. Kids are present. No magic mushrooms.
Sweetheart, you are all the magic I need.
I got charcuterie.
Oh, thanks. I already have my snacks right here.
-All right. What is this? What is that? -Oh, salami, cheese, fruit.
-Dig in. -Here.
Yeah.
-Oh, you're leaking. -Huh?
-Oh, that's not appetizing. -Go clean it up. I got this.
Ah, wait, wait. I got something for you.
-You remembered? -I remembered.
Thank you.
-It's a week in Rome. -Nice.
-And then on to Florence. -Oh my God, I love Florence.
-You gotta come! -Really?
Oh my God, yes.
Word of warning. I think Wally's gonna crash your big trip.
Yeah, I'm not surprised.
So, what are we talking about?
-Our big trip. -Our big trip…
Hey, Dad, you want a burger or a dog?
Um…
One of each, please.
-On it. Hurry up. -Okay, okay.
In the day We sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride Through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected And steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town Rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us Baby, we were born to run
Yes, girl, we were
