- You'll be...

- A seer who lies.

The worst kind.

I like you already.

Come now.

Good bye.

Talk.

Shh.

Don't fight it.

Where did he take the boy?

Jake?

Chambers, yes.

Where?

- Key... key...

- Keystone earth.

Thank you.

Hey, remember me?

You said they were crossing over kids.

You were one of them, weren't you?

I lost it.

The shine.

Which way did they take you through?

- No, no, you have to run.

- Do you remember? A portal, a door.

- Anything, please.

- It's almost over.

It's almost over.

It's almost over.

It's almost over.

Can you hear me?

Remember.

Show me.

Dixie.

Roland".

Jake!

Jake!

They can track the shine.

Okay?

I know what you are.

Gunslinger.

Go.

Should have enough to find it.

Got to get home and do some research.

- Your home?

- Yeah, I got to let my morn know I'm okay.

We have trackers spread

throughout the city.

There's no trace of him yet, sir.

Couple of small spikes,

but not enough to hone in on.

Don't you worry, dicky-boy.

- I've got you covered.

- Sir?

I left a surprise for our little friend.

Just be ready.

- You should probably wait here.

- Dude.

- Where the hell have you been?

- Timmy. Um...

Who's that?

I'll tell you later.

How's morn and Lon?

They must be freaking out.

They haven't been home

since yesterday.

Mom. Mom.

- Mom?

- Jake.

- Mom? Mom! Morn!

- Jake!

No.

No, no.

No, no. No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, mom. No, no, no.

No, no, mom.

No.

No, no, mom.

- Drawings.

- Mom.

I'll make it quick.

Roland".

Jake!

No.

No, Jake.

- Don't see it.

- Mom.

It's what he wants.

- He's tracking you.

- She's dead.

Close your mind.

Close your mind.

Let the pain run through you, Jake.

He killed her.

- I know. I know.

- He killed her.

Come here.

I will kill him.

For both of us.

What about the tower?

My mom died

so you could have your revenge?

Maybe your world is almost gone,

but mine isn't.

You said it yourself, as long

as the darkness is out there...

the tower's always in danger.

You know, they were right.

You're not a gunslinger.

Here.

It's called the Dixie pig.

It's on Plymouth and Pearl.

When I was younger...

I would recite the gunslinger's creed.

It calms the heart and the mind.

I haven't spoken it for years.

I do not aim with my hand.

He who aims with his hand

has forgotten the face of his father.

I aim with my eye.

I do not shoot with my hand.

He who shoots with his hand

has forgotten the face of his father.

I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun.

Both he who kills with his gun has

forgotten the face of his father.

Not while the tower still stands.

Not while you still stand.

- I kill with my heart.

- I kill with my heart.

That's good.

Your shine is your weapon, Jake.

Guns are mine.

Can I help you fellas?

- Hey.

- Forty-five-caliber bullets.

Uh...

- I only have...

- We'll take them all.

Just do what he says.

He won't hurt you.

I don't want any trouble.

Well, then you're smarter than most.

Hurry up-

all right, let's get

you somewhere safe.

Gunslinger.

Did you miss me?

Well, I guess you did.

Roland! Roland, Roland.

Jake, run.

Run!

I see you finally found a compass,

yet you still came to me.

Because I'm your only destination,

Roland.

Fire away.

It's not me.

I'm not doing this.

First, you want to save the tower.

Then, kill the man in black.

You are like a dog

fetching a stick over and over.

You tell the kid

what happened to the old crew?

You tell him that everyone that

walks with you dies by my hand?

Not this time.

Your soft-skinned mother?

- Your gunslinger friends?

- Face me.

Your whimpering excuse for a dad.

Stop hiding behind your magic

and face me, Walter!

We both know that no matter

who crosses the finish line first...

the universe will die out eventually.

Death always wins.

That's the deal.

No, no.

Roland.

Roland.

Yeah!

Jake chambers.

You are the full

package, as advertised.

Sayre, get ready.

Tall, dark and handsome

is about to crash the party.

Let's go, let's go! Move, move!

Take one and go.

Alrighty. Let's go put everyone

out of their misery, shall we?

Any time, champ.

Roland.

Roland...

they're taking me to that place.

Be careful.

Hang on.

I'm coming for you.

We'll get him, sir.

Bye.

Have a great apocalypse.

Close in on him!

Okay.

- Let's go.

- Sir.

We're online!

- It's really gonna happen, isn't it?

- Oh, yes, it is.

Somethings wrong.

Somethings wrong here.

The levels are plateauing.

- It's as if he's...

- Fighting back.

Why do you resist?

Your visions didn't bring you to him,

they brought you to me.

He doesn't love you.

He doesn't care for you.

In fact, he's been using you

this entire time to get to me.

This is why you're here.

This is your destiny.

You killed my morn!

Yes, that's it.

There we go.

Portal. Close it.

- Close it!

- I can't!

Wait.

Oh, my god.

It's the kid.

It's the kid!

He's keeping the portal open!

Ahh. Impressive.

So you wanted me to face you,

old friend?

Here I am.

It's fitting that you

and the tower should fall together.

Roland.

Roland, get up.

I do not aim with my hand.

He who aims with his hand

has forgotten the face of his father.

I aim with my eye.

Jake".

I do not shoot with my hand.

He who shoots with his hand...

Has forgotten the face of his father.

Jake".

I shoot with my mind.

I shoot with my mind.

Jake".

I do not kill with my gun.

He who kills with his gun...

Jake".

Has forgotten the face of his father.

Has forgotten the face of his father.

I kill with my heart.

Mom, dad.

- There they are.

- Sweetheart.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

Multiple witnesses saw...

the strange phenomena in the sky.

Looks like we've seen

the worst of it...

The weather center

has now issued a statement...

that it may have been some kind

of very intense solar flare.

- Here.

- What is this?

- Thank you.

- Thanks. Hot dog.

Savages.

What breed?

No, it's not a breed.

I have to leave here, Jake.

You understand that, don't you?

I know.

Why don't you come with me?

Really?

You have nothing here.

Besides, I could use your help.

Uh...

Okay. Yeah.

Yeah.

Gunslinger.
