feeding you all week

so maybe you should tell me.

Well, well, that's-- that's fair enough.

Um..

...it's kinda hard to summarize

but, uh, our dad..

...he was a-- he was

a pretty good guy

up until mom's car accident.

Uh, I mean he-- he was

always a drinker

but I think that kinda

pushed him over the edge.

Yeah, we just both kinda lived with it.

Um... Kept working at the store

for a few years as kids

and just, you know,

tried not to piss him off.

Then... Gordon finally split

and then things got

a lot worse for dad.

Wow.

I didn't know all that.

Gordon was a big drinker

when we met.

Why'd he stop?

He had a little too much

to drink one night.

We got in an argument

and he grabbed my wrists

a little too hard.

He was mortified.

Six weeks later,

my wrist healed

and he was off drinking

for good.

Hi.

Oh, hey, man, what's up?

How you feeling?

Not great.

I'm gonna go back upstairs.

Hey, wait, man.

Wait-- wait, man.

Wait. Look. Look.

We weren't trying to upset you.

I never should have

come back here.

- Yeah, well, you did.

And if we don't finish this,

you know what's gonna happen.

Hey.

What?

Be careful.

John!

Don't touch that again.

No problem.

John!

Holy sh*t!

What the f*** was that?

It-- it came

through the gate.

Have you seen Margot?

Well played, gentlemen.i/

Only two keys left.i/

Where is she?

As The Maiden crosses overi/

a sacrifice of her souli/

allows her to obtaini/

the third key.i/

Margot?

John, a key! Get the key!

I got it. I got it.

Let's-- let's go.

Do it!

What'll happen to us?!

You'll be granted access

to the other side.i/

Only there can you see

your father

and complete the game.

How do we save her?

Removing the poisoned heart

of The Father

with a pure dagger

will free all

the captured souls

and allow you passage back

into your world.i/

Either you go in

or it comes to you.

T-- t-- the dagger,

where'd you put the...

Where'd you put the dagger?

The dagger The bureau!

Go!

The other side awaits you.i/

What the f*** is this?

Where did she go?

Stay close.

Welcome.i/

Find your father.i/

Take the final keyi/

and become one

with your new reality.i/

How do we take her

back with us?

Gordon!

Wait, wait.

You don't know

if that's really her.

Help me!

Come on.

Let's go.

Gordon?

It's gonna be okay.

I love you.

Come on out, Gordy.

Let's not make this any harder

than it has to be.

Well, well.

I missed you, Johnny Boy.

Sayonara, motherf***er.

No!

You okay? Huh.

Hi, Gordy.

Go ahead, tough guy.

Try that on me.

Grab his legs.

Stabbing your old man

in the back, huh?

Thank you, Gordon.

Goodbye, dad.

John.

Do it!

Whoa.

Are we back?

Yeah, I think so.

I thought I'd lost you.

No, you're stuck with me.

You've now passed

beyond the gates.

She's still here.

And proven yourself worthy.

Your father's soul is free.

Though his physical form

can never return.i/

Henceforth, choose the livingi/

for your attentioni/

and not the dead.i/

Is that it?

I hope so.

I thought we were

gonna save him.

We did.

Oh, my God.

We have to get you

to a hospital. Come on.

Yeah that would be nice,

thank you.

Well, how ya feeling, boss?

I've been worse.

Thanks for helping out

with all that stuff.

Our pleasure.

You guys are gonna take off?

Sure you don't wanna spend

an extra day?

We know it's in good hands.

Thanks.

Well, you guys should

probably head out.

Traffic's gonna get heavy.

Right.

Take care, little brother.

Safe travels, guys.

But you're coming

to us next time.

You have a spare room

with your name on it.

For sure.

Good morning.

Seeking anything in particular?

Do you have anything

from the '80s?

Do you like...

...board games?
