"Previously on Cult." "Just tell me what the problem is, Nate." "I made contact with them last night, and I think they're after me now." "Made contact with who?" "Uh, the TV show." "It's called Cult." "But it's not just a TV show, it goes beyond that." "You work on Cult?" "Yeah, a researcher." "Is there any reason for me to believe that my brother's disappearance is related to this show?" "I know what it's like to have somebody you love go missing." "My mother and I have lived ten years not knowing what happened to my father." "He worked the local news here in Los Angeles, and there was one word prominent in his notes:" ""Cult."" "So, do they throw parties like this very often?" "A lot of shows do, but this is the first for Cult." "Is everything okay?" "Lexi here slipped something into my drink." "They're like the little tabs on the show, the ones Billy and Kelly take, only they're real." "(Crowdcheering)" "Oh, my God." "Nate." "Jeff, please, you've got to stop looking for me." "Cult 01x06 The Good Fight OriginalAirDateMarch29,2013" "(Whistling nearby)" "(Whistling continues)" "(Gasping)" "Jeff (In distance):" "Skye?" "Everything okay in there?" "Fine, I'm fine." "Wrong faucet." "So, how are you feeling?" "Shower helped." "Good." "Jeff?" "About last night..." "I'm sorry." "If anyone should apologize, it should be Lexi." "I mean, call me old-fashioned, but friends don't roofie friends." "I don't mean that, I mean..." "The kiss?" "Yeah, that." "Well, I'm good with blaming Lexi for that, too." "Yeah, good." "Voilà!" "Coffee... two sugars, milk," "(whispers):" "And an ice cube." "Perfect, thanks." "So, I was just looking at this scene again with the drugs." "I thought it might be able to explain anything we saw at that party last night." "And?" "I think it's just another case of fans trying to make the show real." "Billy's got a drug, they're just gonna recreate it." "To the true believers, everything's about the show." "Were you okay out here last night?" "Well, I'm not getting much sleep these days anyway." "Might as well not get sleep out on the couch." "So, Nate knows Dustin, who's somehow tied in with Sakelik, who gives me a link to a video where Nate tells me to stop looking for him, and that he's protecting me." "Meanwhile, Dustin is AWOL, and Sakelik shows how..." "Jeff!" "Skye." "Skye." "Skye." "Jeff:" "Skye." "Skye." "Billy:" "Skye." "Skye." "Skye?" "(Gasping)" "Welcome, Skye." "There's no need for that." "(Echoing):" "We're all friends here." "(Gasps)" "(Gasps)" "There's nowhere to go, Skye." "Stay a while." "I feel that." "Of course you do." "Let me go." "I can't." "Why not?" "Because you can't leave." "(Air pumping)" "Woman:" "Temperature: 100.5." "BP: 140/70." "Respiration: 30, shallow." "O2: 92." "Blood workup just came in." "Good." "So, what's wrong with her?" "Some external agent is interfering with her normal neural activity." "Her gross body functions are for the most part normal, but her brain activity is on some kind of overload." "This drug that you say she took last night..." "You have no idea what it was?" "I mean, only what I told you." "It was going around this party last night." "I mean, I don't even know how many people took it." "Do you have any of it in your possession, Mr. Sefton?" "No." "Do you have access to any more of it?" "No, why?" "Your friend's is the only case that's been reported, which means that it could be a systemic response unique to her, or it could be an allergy to a cutting agent in the drug." "I can't say for sure." "So how do you help her?" "The agent itself is no longer in evidence in her bloodstream." "I-I don't understand." "Have you ever had a prescription that needed to be refrigerated?" "Yeah, sure." "Some drugs are unstable at higher temperatures..." "Even room temp... so, whatever this was, once it hit her bloodstream, just being at body temperature would have started the breakdown process." "It's gone." "So, what can you do?" "We're giving her epinephrine in case it is an allergic reaction." "Meanwhile, we'll keep her hydrated and as comfortable as possible." "Wait, as comfortable as possible?" "Without knowing exactly what's causing this reaction, that might be all I can do." "If you have any more of this drug, you're gonna bring it to me." "I told you, I don't have any." "You need to find somebody from that party who does." "That is your friend's one best shot." "(Cell phone vibrating)" "Hello?" "Jeff:" "Lexi?" "It's Jeff Sefton..." "Skye's friend you met last night at the party." "Skye's in the hospital." "Wait, Skye's what?" "She's in the hospital because of that drug you slipped in her drink last night." "But she's okay, right?" "She's going to be okay?" "No, Lexi, she's not okay." "Oh, my God." "Listen to me, the only way the doctors can help her is if they get a sample of whatever it was she took last night." "I don't, I don't have any more." "Lexi!" "I don't." "I only had a couple of tabs." "Well, what about the guy you got it from..." "Dustin?" "He gave me his number, but I tossed it." "Excuse me." "Skye Yarrow?" "Yes, right this way." "(Sighs)" "I'm so sorry, Jeff." "I am so, so sorry." "Find somebody from the party last night who still has some of the drug." "I don't know anyone else who had any." "I got to do something else for her." "Okay, what else can I do?" "Believe me, you've done enough already." "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "Mrs. Yarrow?" "You're Skye's friend?" "Yes, ma'am." "I'm Jeff." "Jeff Sefton." "They called me and they said that this was some kind of drug overdose." "It's not an overdose." "It's an allergic reaction." "To something that she took." "To something she was slipped at a party..." "she didn't know she was taking it." "Mrs. Yarrow, your daughter didn't do anything wrong." "This was an accident." "But you were there." "Yes." "We don't see each other as much as... as much as I would like." "(Sighs)" "I have been so worried about her." "Ever since she took that job at Cult." "Trying to get in touch with that" "Steven Rae guy about the disappearance of her father." "It's taken its toll." "Well, that's partially my fault." "She's been helping me." "Helping me find my missing brother." "She told me about you." "You're obsessed with that show, too." "This has something to do with that, doesn't it?" "Yes." "Well, I'm here now." "So you can go." "Mrs. Yarrow," "I'm not going anywhere." "(Billy):" "Skye." "Skye." "(Echoing):" "I'm not going anywhere, Skye." "Billy:" "And neither are you." "(Gasps)" "Why are you fighting this?" "You know, you could use a bit of the very thing I offer my followers." "The simple, uncomplicated beauty of the now." "That's what this is." "A place where you leave your past behind." "I don't want to leave my past behind." "Are you so sure, Skye?" "Something in your past causing you pain?" "Tell me." "What do you want more than anything?" "To find him." "Who?" "Find who, Skye?" "My father." "The truth about my father." "But your father's dead." "No, I don't know that." "Nobody knows that." "You're here in Steven Rae's creation because you're hoping to find the answers you seek." "Find your father." "Did you check out of state databases?" "E.J.:" "Insulting me isn't going to help, Jefferstein." "Sorry." "I'm sorry, E.J." "I really do appreciate what you're doing, believe me." "Yeah, well, how's she doing anyway?" "Well, not good." "The doctors here are just shooting in the dark." "I really need to find that Dustin Wartell." "He was the one passing that drug around the party." "I don't know what to tell you." "This Wartell creep isn't much of anybody." "He has zero web presence." "And I've checked every Cult chat room and hangout I can find for any mention of a drug at that party last night." "I got zip." "Well, just keep looking, okay?" "Sure." "Uh, look, I got to hop." "Hey, Bert." "E.J., any particular reason you've come down two flights to make a call you could make at your desk?" "Or maybe it was from him, asking another of his favors from you." "Sakelik:" "Looks like you've got something to tell me." "Mrs. Yarrow:" "Really?" "Why's that?" "Sakelik:" "Thanks, Mrs. Yarrow." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Mr. Sefton." "Hospital's duty is to notify the police whenever there's a drug-related admission." "And there are certain names I've tagged in the system now." "Like yours and..." "You leave her out of this." "Seems like advice you should have given yourself." "Did you watch the video I gave you?" "My brother." "You know where he is." "What does he have that you want so badly?" "Not for you to know." "But your brother is the only thing that's keeping you safe." "Remember that." "(Skye groans)" "Doctors tell me your friend took something she shouldn't have at the party last night." "A drug." "The one I saw you take from Dustin." "We need a sample." "I mean, you could help her." "You still have some of it, don't you?" "Listen, whatever's going on between you, me and my brother, please, at least help her." "I'm afraid I can't involve myself, Mr. Sefton." "You mean you won't involve yourself." "I suggest you heed your brother's advice." "Walk away." "A lot of emotion in here." "Understandable." "I'll let this one go." "Billy (Echoing):" "Let it go, Skye." "Let it go and get out of here?" "Gladly." "If I knew how." "I didn't mean let go of being here." "Then let go of what?" " Of what you can't control." "Kelly:" " Step away from her." "Stand down, Billy." "Stop." "Don't take one more step." "I'm unarmed." "I'm no threat to you." "Get back." "Billy, I will shoot you." "What do you want from me, Kelly?" "She wants her sister." "I want my family whole again." "And it's eating away at you, that loss, that longing." "It's consuming you, and left you with nothing but need." "It must be so painful." "You have no idea." "Stop." "I'm not the one who needs to stop." "(Sobbing)" "Why would you do that?" "It's time." "There's a time when it's best to just... give in." "Surrender the fight." "Billy:" "Give in, Skye." "Stay with me." "Forever." "(♪)" "How is she?" "Well, the news isn't good." "The pet scan shows significantly increased activity in Skye's frontal lobes." "What does that mean?" "If her neural activity continues to increase at the current pace, her brain could sustain permanent damage." "We're going to try a slow-profusion benzodiazepine, and maybe that'll buy her some more time." "More time?" "That's it?" "All I've got to work with are the effects of what she took." "My daughter is a fighter, doctor." "I'm truly sorry." "There's got to be something else we can do for her." "Don't give up hope just yet." "What?" "Not who you were expecting, am I?" "What are you doing here, Bert?" "You're lucky I've known you your whole life, because honestly," "I should fire your ass right now." "Where's E.J.?" "I sent her home." "Don't take this out on her, Bert." "She's not at fault here, Jeff." "You are." "Listen, I know what I'm asking her to do is wrong, all right, but I need her help." "I've run out of options here." "Kelly:" "I always loved the way that crystal caught the light." "How could you give in to Billy like that?" "You should really listen to what he has to say, Skye." "Billy kidnapped your sister." "He killed your brother-in-law and left your nephew without a father." "How could you forgive that?" "I just realized there's a time to put the past behind us." "Skye, when was the last time you felt truly free?" "The day before my father disappeared." "You're giving up everything." "Putting the rest of your life on hold to get to Steven Rae." "Who is that?" "Is that Steven Rae?" "Don't be scared." "Daddy." "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "It's been so long, Pumpkin." "Please don't do this." "Do what?" "You aren't real." "The last time I saw you, that night, you were so mad at me." "Remember?" "I wouldn't let you go to a midnight movie with your friends." "And just before I left," "I asked you for a hug." "But you were too angry at me." "A police detective's home address?" "Seriously?" "The doctors need a sample of this drug that Skye has taken or they can't help her, okay?" "Now, the only person who might have this sample is this detective." "(Hushed):" "A dirty police detective." "So, what's your pla..." "What's your plan?" "(Hushed):" "To break into this detective's house?" "The doctor said the drug needs to be kept cold." "If Sakelik has any of this in her house," "I'll know where to find it." "If I can get in." "I'm not letting E.J. get involved." "I need her to hack the police personnel files." "I'll do it." "Still got a few of my own contacts." "I'll get this detective's address, on one condition." "Yeah?" "I won't let you do this alone." "I'm going with you." "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "Look at my baby." "I loved it when you brushed my hair." "Why am I here with you?" "How are you and your mother getting along?" "You're not seeing much of her lately." "It's okay, Skye." "It's just you and me here." "She gave up on you." "No, she didn't." "She moved on." "There's a difference." "She let you die." "In her heart." "No, she didn't, Pumpkin." "She had you to raise." "And you weren't easy..." "headstrong, stubborn." "Just like you." "Your mother couldn't handle both of us." "You with your teenage bundle of fury... and my ghost." "Am I chasing a ghost?" "What do you think?" "It's beautiful here, isn't it?" "So comfortable." "No challenges, no lingering questions." "Just peace." "Finally, peace." "Would it be so bad, really?" "Staying here?" "Daddy?" "You've got to stop looking for me." "No, don't say that." "You are exactly like me." "I would just keep pushing and pushing and pushing." "And people would tell me to stop, and I wouldn't." "And look at what it did to me." "To your mother." "To you." "Please, let me go." "Stop fighting." "Give up." "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "Give up." "(Monitor flatlines)" "(Alarm beeping)" "Skye?" "Skye, sweetheart?" "Skye!" "Nurse!" "Help!" "Help, nurse!" "She's hypoxic." "Start ventilation." "I'll alert the doctor." " What's wrong?" "What's wrong?" " Please, ma'am!" "Well, tell me what is going on!" "Your daughter stopped breathing." "(Echoing):" "Give up." "Get Dr. McClellan now!" " Code blue!" " Oh, my God!" "(Echoing):" "Stay here." "(Echoing):" "Forever." "End of the block on the left." "So, before we both get put away for breaking and entering, you want to tell me the story with this girl?" "We're friends." "(Chuckles)" "Since Nate went missing, she's been my... my partner in all this insanity." "As everything's continued to spiral, she's jumped right in there with me." "She's the only thing that's kept me from getting lost." "There's the house there." "Is that her?" "Yeah, that's her." "Hey." "Wait a minute." "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "She's home." "Yeah, I don't have a choice, Bert." "You can't seriously think about going in there." " I only need a minute." " She's a cop." "If something happens, you go." "She'll shoot you." "(Door creaks)" "(Groans):" "Ah." "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "I got it." "This is it, the same stuff that Skye took." "I'll have it analyzed immediately." "What's the matter?" "What happened?" "Mrs. Yarrow:" "She stopped breathing." "What?" "They've given her something." "The doctor thinks that her body is shutting down, like, like she's giving up." "Skye." "Skye, listen to me." "Do not quit." "You hang in there, whatever it takes." "I'm here for you." "Please." "Jeff?" "(People chattering)" "(Kelly laughs)" "Mr. Yarrow:" "Skye?"

"No." "What I want is to know the truth about your disappearance." "Now that you're here with me, you don't have to search any longer." "I need to know what happened to you." "All you have to do is agree to stay." "Kelly:" "It's so simple, really." "We're both young, our entire lives ahead of us." "Why would you do this?" "I didn't do anything, Skye." "Daddy?" "Don't fight it, Pumpkin." "Yeah, Pumpkin." "(Voices overlapping)" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "What is it?" "What's happening?" "Mrs. Yarrow:" "What are you giving her?" "The drug you recovered is a psychoactive synthetic, similar to ecstasy." "Not entirely original, but sophisticated enough that we weren't able to identify it out of any standing database." "Well, so can you help her?" "We're starting a counteragent protocol that should abrogate the drug's effects." "Oh, thank God." "The rest, of course, is up to her." "(Skye moans)" "(Thunder crashes)" "(Groans)" "Billy:" "Why are you fighting?" "You already know." "(Echoing):" "Enlighten me." "Th..." "All of this is a part of me..." "That wants to stop looking for my dad." "So you do want to move on." "No, I don't." "Not any more than Kelly wants to come back to you." "But I did come back." "No." "I know you." "Kelly wouldn't give up searching any more than I would." "This-this is just my mind playing tricks." "Mr. Yarrow:" "You can still join us, Skye." "Listen to your father." "You are not my father." "And I don't want to give up." "You've done good, Skye." "You've fought the good fight, but now you're merely delaying the inevitable." "You're waging a pointless war all by yourself, and it's exhausting you." "It's time for you to lay down your sword." "(Groans)" "BP's rising." "Skye..." "I need you to fight."
