You're safe with that.
Who wants to go to Christmasland?!
Chin up. I will be back.
I've waited for this for so long.
We must save him, Bing Partridge.
Don't you agree?
Funny. He looks just like his mom.
No. No. No, no.
Let me out.
The best sledding is the hill beyond the grove.
Wow.
No! Let go!
No.
No! Let... Let... Let me go!

Episode Title : "The Night Road" Aired on: July 05, 2020
Who's there?
Dad?
Vic?
Hi.
Dad, I, uh...
I have a new bike.
No Harley?
They Harley ever run.
You drive here all the way from Colorado?
Kinda.
I j...
Come on.
Let's get you inside.
Come on.
Let's fix you up.
I'm sorry I didn't call.
Well, sorry I never call.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I'm so sorry for everything, really.
That's alright.
Here you go.
I got you.
Okay.
Charlie Manx died.
Yeah, I know.
What do I do now?
Just...
Just lie down, Brat, get some sleep.
We'll sort it all out in the morning.
I'll be here when you wake up.
Wayne!
Mm.
Linda gave me that after you left.
Hope that's okay.
I look at it a lot.
She gives me pictures of Wayne, too.
That's a good-looking kid.
She tell you how to find me out here?
What are, uh...
What time is it?
Noon.
You were out cold.
You had a fever for like a day and a half.
You want some coffee?
Yep.
Thank you.
Livin' out here with all your friends.
I like the quiet.
When I'm not working, I tinker with my guitars
and fix the place up.
I thought you preferred to blow shit up.
Like me.
I need a place to stay, Dad.
Like, a job.
Uh...
You know, time to get a hold of myself and...
They're not there.
The nips. I...
I poured them out.
You're kidding, right? You...
You searched my pockets?
This is a dry house.
So, what happened?
Did some girlfriend give you an ultimatum?
I'm sorry I didn't quit boozing when you were a kid.
You know, I should have.
And, Brat, you are always welcome to stay here
for as long as you want,
and I-I-I'll get you on a demo crew,
but... I can't have liquor here.
That's great, Dad.
Really. Good for you.
I spoke with your father, but I didn't believe it.
You don't visit for years and then, what, poof, you're home?
No phone call? No nothing? Come here.
Hi, Mom.
Did you drive that damn thing all the way from Colorado?
Let me look at you.
You're exhausted, Vicki.
Come on. You should eat something.
Waah!
Get in there!
Oh, God.
Your hair looks pretty, Ma.
Yeah?
Julian frosted it for me.
Sean says I look like Madonna.
God, I love that man.
Where is Sean?
At work, where he's supposed to be.
Where I'm supposed to be.
Where's my beautiful grandson?
Colorado.
Okay...
I got drunk and accidentally set the house on fire.
So what? He's with that Lou?
They don't know I'm here.
What are you, Chris McQueen?
Call them.
I melted my phone in the oven.
Tell your son where you are.
You're better than this. C'mon, Vicki.
What if I'm not?
I don't give a shit. Call your son.
Alright, honey, I'm late for Mrs. Supkins.
Put your plate in the sink. I love you.
Dad, I'm going outside.
That's cool, but no more taking off on your bike, okay, buddy?
You scared me yesterday,
and us dudes got to stick together. Deal?
Deal. I'll be right out front.
Alright, cool.
You've reached Carmody Manor.
Master Lou is regrettably... ensnared elsewhere.
If you care to leave a message,
I shall summon him upon his return.
Hi, uh...
I'm...
I'm in Haverhill, um, at my mother's house.
I...
I'm... I'm sorry I left without telling you.
I just... I kn...
I knew you'd stop me, and, uh...
I just don't want to hurt you and Wayne anymore, so...
Uh, you can... you can reach me at this number.
I'll give you a call when I get a new phone.
I love you.
Ahh.
Dad! We got a customer!
Hey.
Dropped your ball.
Whoa. You're good.
Thanks.
Hey.
Is that a 2012 Dyna?
Sure is.
Are you the Harley man?
Yeah. I'm the Harley man.
I was told to come see you if I wanted to get her running.
Oh. Who referred you?
Yep. You're... You're the guy.
I'll tell you what. How 'bout you step into my office
and tell me what seems to be the problem.
Let's do it.
Okay.
♪ Silent night, holy night ♪
♪ All is calm, all is bright ♪
♪ 'Round yon virgin Mother and Child ♪
♪ Holy infant so tender and mild ♪
Well, we meet again, Bruce Wayne McQueen.
Are you feeling any better?
What a thoughtful child. Yes.
When you and I first encountered one another,
I wasn't well.
You were bleeding. I was.
And you absconded without a proper goodbye.
But tell me, Bruce Wayne McQueen...
Wayne.
Tell me, Wayne,
what is that you have in your ear?
My ear?
Still don't want to celebrate Christmas?
Okay, Mr. Andersen,
what seems to be the problem?
My bike won't run.
How 'bout I just go out, take a look at it.
Is that good?
Mm-hmm.
Alright. Here's...
Thank you. You're welcome.
Wayne?!
If you don't have time for me,
I could always go somewhere else.
No. No, that... that, uh, won't be necessary.
Wow.
Uh, I think I see the problem, Mr. Andersen.
I'm just gonna call my supplier to check on a part.
Sure.
Hi. You've reached Linda and Sean.
Leave a message after the beep.
Hi. This is Lou from Carmody's Car Carma.
Uh...
I need you to check on a 10-48 Fairbanks.
I repeat, that's a 10-48 Fairbanks
on a 2012 Harley Dyna Wide Glide.
I hope you got that, Obi-Wan.
You're my only hope.
Excelsior!
They got the part in stock.
Now, you want to help me loosen these straps?
Sure thing.
Thank you.
Got this, uh, pretty... Pretty secure on here.
Ah!
Wayne!
When I was your age, Wayne McQueen,
the only thing I wanted in this world was magic.
The magic of Christmas.
Hot chocolate,
colored lights, presents.
The magic of making my problems disappear.
Go on. Hop in.
You know you want to.
What's the password?
There are no passwords in Christmasland.
Wrong!
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh.
It's me. It's me. It's me. Okay?
Okay.
You okay?
- Hello? - Yes, hello.
I'm looking to speak with Victoria McQueen.
Yeah, that's me.
Ms. McQueen, I'm Sergeant Hendricks
with the Colorado State Police.
I'm calling about your boyfriend, Lou Carmody,
and your son, Bruce Wayne McQueen.
What is it?
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Hey, uh, this is my new cell.
So, I spoke to Tabitha Hutter.
Good news... She pulled some strings.
Two FBI agents are gonna escort you to the airport.
All you have to do is get yourself and Wayne on a plane,
and you'll land at Logan before you know it.
I couldn't care if we landed on Krypton
as long as the three of us are together in one place.
Uh, well, Tabitha will be there to pick you guys up,
bring you to her house.
You're going after Manx.
Look, Manx will keep coming until he finds us.
He'll take you. He'll take Wayne.
He wants me, Lou. He just...
He wants you dead, Vic.
You go after him on your Bridge to God knows where
and he's there waiting for you, he'll get what he wants.
Look.
I know I said some rough stuff the other day, but...
You were right. I wasn't there.
So be there now.
Once I'm done with Manx.
Okay, so you go on your suicide ride telling yourself
that you're a strong creative super hero bullshit, whatever.
I can't stop you.
But I can tell you this.
It's a lie.
It's not heroic.
Wayne doesn't need you dead.
He needs his mother with him.
Tell Wayne I love him.
Tell him yourself at the airport.
I love you, too, Lou.
Peppermint twist for me and a whiskey for Abe, both on my tab.
Charlie. Charlie Manx.
Hey, feeling lucky today?
Let's have a throw.
Not tonight and never with you, Snake.
Mother Manx, rest her whore soul,
didn't raise any fools.
Cheers, Abe.
I bought the house a drink in your honor
when I heard you were dead.
Mm.
I'm touched.
You were relieved to hear of my passing, no doubt,
thinking you were free and clear of your debts.
I knew you weren't dead.
And this drink wasn't free.
The Hourglass.
I want to meet him.
I don't do introductions anymore.
I've become antisocial in my retirement.
I remember the days when the denizens of this world
would run and hide when they heard old honest Abe
had left his Empty Forest to travel the Night Road.
Now you're the one who's running scared.
It's that girl and her bike who scare you,
as they should.
She killed you once. You don't let this go,
they'll be scraping your body off the Night Road.
I told you the same thing about the Walking Backwards Man.
If I hadn't intervened...
I was grateful to you then, and I am grateful to you now.
The time has come for you to show your gratitude.
I wish you were dead, Chuck.
That's the spirit, Abe.
Tell the Hourglass I look forward
to making his acquaintance.
Tell my goddaughter I miss her.
Hello, Father.
Hello, Sugar Plum.
Uncle Abe says Merry Christmas.
When are you coming back?
There's been a slight delay, my joy, but don't you worry.
You'll have a new friend to play with in no time
and you'll be very glad you waited.
Assuming you've been a good girl while I've been away.
I saw a light from a house on top of Candy Mountain.
You know that children who venture beyond the gates
wind up on the naughty list.
Who's up there?
Nothing's up there.
Have you been naughty, Millicent?
No, Father.
Fibbing will get you on the naughty list all the same.
I depend on you to spread Christmas cheer while I'm away.
Take care of the children.
I know.
Merry Christmas, Father.
Merry Christmas, my child.
♪ O night ♪
♪ O night divine ♪
You're a little late for your rescue mission.
You gonna kill me with your gas can?
Worked pretty well last time.
I'll admit I underestimated you.
I promise I won't make that mistake again.
I think, perhaps, this time, you underestimated me.
Do you know where we are, Victoria McQueen?
No, but it doesn't matter.
We're on the Night Road...
An Inscape formed by the collective unconscious
of a community of people just like us.
Access requires a certain darkness of the soul.
What darkness has been lurking within you since last we meet?
Teen pregnancy? Child born out of wedlock?
His father burned to death
along with the innocent Bradley
all as a consequence of your sins,
lust, anger, pride, abandonment.
None of that matters, Charlie.
What matters is you can't have Wayne.
I will stop you even if it kills me.
That's a promise.
More like a wish, I think.
To die by my hand so you don't have to face
your family or your failures ever again.
A mercy I'm more than willing to provide.
And Wayne? In Christmasland,
he'll forget all about his drunk, whore mother.
Another mercy.
It appears I'm the best thing to ever happen to you, Vic McQueen.
And I'll be the best thing to ever happen to Wayne.
Oh, Christ.
Mm.
Nice. Nice. Getting drunk, joyriding.
I'm not dr... I'm... I'm...
I'm fine.
Yeah, you do not look fine. Come on.
Take these.
- Thanks. - Mm-hmm.
You need to get your shit together,
go back to your kid.
Ma, I...
I try hard, and I fail.
I make bad decisions.
We all have regrets, Vicki. It's part of growing up.
Look, I-I...
I hurt Wayne and I-I put him in danger
and then I couldn't protect him.
Mm, I never won a gold medal for parenting, either.
I think of all the things I screwed up...
I mean, I never actually burned down my own house.
Okay.
When you are young, you do not understand
how much a kid is gonna take from you.
You give him everything you've got and more than you have.
What if I don't know how to love him like that?
You don't have to know how, Vicki.
You just have to stay.
That's all love is.
You stay.
Even though nobody rewards you for it
and you always feel like you are screwing up
and a lot of the time, you are.
A mother stays.
You figure out the rest.
Millie.
Oh, Brat.
You're alive.
And in one piece.
So are you.
I didn't get Manx. I tried.
It's okay.
He has to get through all of us.
So we'll stop him this time. For good.
Okay?
Thank you.
Hey. You guys made it.
Hey, Bats, are you okay?
I am so sorry I wasn't there. Hm?
Whatever.
I'm fine.
Glad to see you're alright.
You, uh... You here for a visit or to stay?
To stay.
Yes.
Abe, you foul old rummy,
I've told you before I don't want any more clients from you.
You're joking.
Well, in that case,
I would be honored to meet Charles Manx.
Who is Vic McQueen?
