Cal, any reception?

Nope, surprise, surprise.

Don't worry, once we get rid of this place,

we'll get an apartment with all the cell service

your heart can dream of.

I like it out here.

What are you doing? That's Dad's.

Well, it's not like he needs it anymore.

Look, Cal, I'm not trying to forget Dad.

I promise I'm not.

I just, I don't need to be reminded of him everywhere I go.

Well, I do.

What happened, Dad?

It's pretty neat? I matter.

My God, Dad, no, they actually call you that?

Yeah, and I pity the fool

who doesn't turn in that physics homework.

My God.

That is so wrong.

Well, in some world there's bound to be

a version of me with a mohawk,

muscles and a million dollars.

You know, the only thing that I wouldn't change?

What's that?

Here, that's us.

Yeah, the strongest shape in the universe has three sides.

I love you, Cal.

I love you too, Dad.

Aunt Meg.

I've been trying to call all day.

How you feeling, being there?

- And don't say fine. - I'm fine.

And Mom, is she coping okay?

I mean, she's Mom, but, yeah.

I assume she still wants to sell.

Honestly, sometimes it feels

like she wants to forget him.

Well, that's your mom,

always needing the world to revolve around her.

I'm just sorry it's you having to deal with that.

- Cal? - No,

it's just a bad line.

There's so much to do, I love you so much.

I have to go, okay, bye.

Mom, Mom!

Hi, I'm, I'm fine, I'm fine.

It's just a stupid spider, I'm fine.

Can you get some wood please?

It's gonna be cold tonight.

Sure.

It's okay, it's okay.

We'll get through it together, like we always do, okay?

It's okay.

Here you go.

I wanna keep Dad's research.

Is that okay?

I'll store it in my room, you won't even see it.

I love Dad, Cal.

You know that, right?

I know things have been messy, but I'm used to messy.

I can handle messy. We'll be okay.

I'm a way better mom than I am a cook.

No, no, no.

Mom?

Mom?

Did you see another spider?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Yeah, not today.

You're up early.

It's kind of hard to sleep with a gong,

in case you wondered.

Touché, lose the gong, got it.

What, did you go for a hike?

No, I, um, I thought I heard,

I saw something outside and I, there was nothing.

I'm going into town.

Do you wanna come, we can get tacos?

I'm gonna get some reading done, I'll see you.

Come on, Cal, you sound like your dad.

He, he, he got, you know what I mean.

He just got obsessed in the end, that's all.

I'll bring lunch back.

Love you.

Red wallpaper.

I'm just curious if you asked what Callie wanted.

Is that so bad?

Don't do that. What choice do I have, Meghan?

- We need the money. - Then why not just

let Callie come stay with me for a while?

Or I can sell the only asset Lewis left us

and stay with my daughter, how about that?

Don't be dramatic.

Honestly, I think a break would be good for her.

Yeah, I'm sure you do. I have to go.

Listen.

Reek?

Could it be? Are you sure you?

Hello?

Yes, yes, it was there, right in front.

How the hell am I supposed to know what it is?

You're the scientist, babe, I sure as hell don't.

I saw it again.

Daddy?

Mom?

What's happening?

The air was shimmering and I saw that thing.

The monster.

What do you think?

I thought you could wear it to homecoming.

You okay?

You wanna talk?

I'm sorry, Aunt Meg, it's beautiful.

But there's no way she'll sell this place by then.

I was thinking you can always come stay with me.

There is no reason you should

have to leave everything behind.

We can get you back in school.

You can go to homecoming.

What do you say?

I can't, she needs me.

What about you?

What do you need?

I get it.

Don't do what he did.

Do not make her your life.

Before you say anything, I just came to check in.

Jesus, Meg, for someone so fake,

you should be able to lie better.

Fine.

I'm worried about her out here with you.

- Is that better? - Much.

At least now you're admitting you're a two-faced patronized-

Mom!

Don't worry, Cal.

I love you.

You remember what I said, okay?

Callie, look, I'm sorry you had to hear that.

Cal, but she goads me.

Well, she's the only one I can talk to about him, so.

What did you find, Dad?

It's not real.

It's not real. It's not real.

"Is Reek connected to the scope?"

Jesus, Cal.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Motion lights.

Can't be too careful.

Mom, it's two in the morning.

Where did you get that?

I found it with Dad's things.

Can I keep it?

Yeah, I mean, it's not his,

he's allergic to silver.

Um, you can talk to me about him.

Okay?

We just can't dwell.

Life is about moving forward, not backward, yeah?

Hello?

Hello, can you hear?

Sorry, the reception's really crappy.

I was saying,

hallucinations haven't been associated

with this medication.

Why do you ask?

Um, I was reading a blog post

and this guy said

that he was seeing things after he took it.

Are you hallucinating, Rae?

No, no, no, no.

No, I was just double checking, um,

you know, covering all my bases.

You say to always think twice, right?

Maybe you should come in for a session

just to be safe.

Hello?

- Rae? - Hello.

- Can, can, can you hear. - Rae, can you hear me?

Parallel worlds?

Isn't really the way to think of them.

Imagine this is every world in existence.

It's not just...

one, right?

Wrong.

- And. - Wait.

So you really think you can do that?

Like travel to them?

Me? Yeah.

I'd settle for seeing, but, yeah.

Yeah, I think one day we will?

No, I'd be too scared.

You? No way.

Besides, what did Rumi say?

"The cave you fear to enter, hides the treasure you seek."

Yeah, pretty cool.

Keep-looking science, it's pretty cool, right?

It is pretty cool.

Just like your old man.

Okay, Rae, just breathe.

It's all on your imagination.

Am I okay?

Is there anything in this house?

I know you're in here, Callie.

It's not real, it's not real.

It's not real.

I just need to talk.

I know you've been using the scope,

but it's gonna get you killed.

Won't you talk to me?

I'm trying to help you find your dad.

He's still alive, Callie.

I think I know where.

Lewis, what are you doing?

- You're home early. - You making, making toys now.

Rae, this is none of your business.

You understand me, Rae?

- Excuse me? - I'm not playing with you.

Stay out of it. You hear me?

I'm sorry.

It's just stressful work.

- We okay, babe? - No, babe, we're not okay.

Whatever's gotten into you, it's getting real old.

I'm taking Callie back to the city.

Enjoy your toys.

Callie, I'm a friend.

I live next door,

the blue house on the other side of the ranch.

You can trust me.

You have an ax in your hand.

It's to protect you from the Reek.

That's what we call it.

Have you seen it?

Yeah.

I've seen it.

You definitely took the slide out?

If you didn't, we're not safe.

I'm Drew.

So how do you know about this thing?

'Cause your dad taught me.

Well, the version of your dad from my world.

We pushed here together.

He was from five.

Have you looked there yet?

On the wheel, have you looked there yet?

It's not good. Everything there is dead.

You definitely pulled the slide?

Mom.

Don't go back there.

Mom, what are you doing?

I'm burning your father's crap.

No, Mom, that's, that's Dad's stuff.

Callie, stop it, it's done.

No, you have no right to do this.

I'm not looking at this obsession anymore.

It's sick.

You know what, you're sick, Mom.

Dad was right about all of it.

What is this?

This is what you've been doing?

Why you've been hiding away? Reading?

Mom, don't.

I can't do this anymore, I can't.

Cal, stop it.

No, no, no!

Listen, we have to move on, okay?

- This is how. - Get away from me.

Cal.

Somewhere there's bound to be

a version of me with a mohawk,

muscles and a million dollars.

You know, the only thing that I wouldn't change?

What's that?

That's us.

Cal? Cal, can I come in?

I made dinner. Are you hungry?

Drew.

Drew.

Drew.

Drew?

Callie, what the hell are you doing?

Are you running away from home now?

That's where we're at?

No, I was looking for someone.

Just stop, stop.

Look, if you're mad, be mad.

Don't do this.

I'm sorry for before, okay?

Well, maybe I'm sick of sorry, Mom.

Sick of spending my whole life worried about you,

about how you feel, whether you're gonna lose it or not,

while you just do what you want.

- That's not fair. - No?

Well, first you sell the house.

His favorite place in the whole wide world

and then you burn his work,

and the only thing that could maybe bring him back.

God, Cal.

Cal, I'm so sorry that I hurt you,

but he's not coming back, okay.

I hate it as much as you do, but he is gone.

He's gone, he's gone.

Maybe Aunt Meg was right.

Maybe I shouldn't live with you.

Don't scream.

I even left my ax at home.

How?

I saw it in the fire.

Fire doesn't hurt it. Nothing does.

So what you said in the barn was true about my dad?

He's alive?

Yeah.

He's the only one who might know how to destroy it.

It's why I wanna find him,

but I'll need your help to do it.

What do you say?

This will be dangerous, Callie.

Callie, you need to know that.

I'm not scared.

Well, you should be.

The Reek killed everyone I loved.

Including Lewis from my world.

I'm lucky to be alive.

Lewis knew I was in danger.

So he lured the Reek away from me.

Lewis!

Lewis saved our world from the Reek.

He sent it back through the veil for now,

so if the Reek gets through your world will fall,

like mine did.

Callie, Callie, open the door.

You have to go.

Maybe we should tell her, she could help us.

No, no, you clearly don't know my mom.

- You have to go. - Callie.

I'll meet you in the barn in 20 minutes, okay?

Callie, open this door,

open this door, right now.

I heard, I heard someone and you,

I heard a voice.

I was on the phone.

No, don't do that to me, Callie.

I heard two voices.

One was you.

The other one was a boy.

I heard it.

It was just me, Mom.

I'm sorry.

So which world do we look at first?

We're not looking.

We're going, set it to four.

Going? I, I thought you said it was dangerous.

Well, we can't bring him back by looking, can we?

And the whole time you look the veil stays open,

which lets the Reek in.

This way is safer.

Now point it at me.

So, so how does this veil thing work anyway?

If the veil is opened too many times, it collapses.

What happened to not being scared.

I have questions.

Then I'll explain when we get there.

Just take my hand.

If we're not touching when you click,

then you'll just push me through.

This way we both go, okay?

Just stay by me.

We need each other now.

Fine.

But you stay by me.

It's not real, pull it together.

Whoa, why is it so foggy here?

It doesn't make any sense.

You definitely pulled the slide?

Yes.

And we're definitely in world four, right?

Yes.

That can't be right.

It's just, it looks like world five did

after the veil fell.

Well, it's a shame

I don't know what that is.

Think of it like a wall between the worlds.

It's like the only barrier that's keeping the Reek out.

So the way it works, the scope tears the veil.

That's how you see or move between places.

But do that too much and it falls.

Like it did in my world.

And then what happens?

There's no barrier.

The Reek comes in and everything dies.

So a version of your family will be inside here?

Hopefully, let's find out if we're too late.

Drew, is that your mom?

No, my real mom,

she died in world five.

What is it? Is it Callie?

She's fine.

It's me, I'm sick.

Meghan, you need to take her.

We have to go.

No, we have to look for my dad.

The veil's gone, there won't be anything left here.

No, you don't know my dad.

He's smart, Drew, he'll be hiding.

Where? Look at this place.

I'm sorry.

No, don't do that.

He may be here.

Okay, you don't know.

Callie, set the scope.

Run!

Help me, please, help me.

Help me, please.

Take my hand.

Come on, just take it.

Callie, take my hand.

Come on.

Where to next?

So we know he is not here in world one

and we know he wasn't in world four.

Drew, you don't understand, he's smart.

He might be hiding.

And you don't understand.

Smart doesn't matter against that thing.

It can be anywhere.

Okay, well, then, then we go to two.

He might be there.

And so might the Reek.

- Then we go to five. - He's not there.

Lewis told me that he was gonna send him somewhere safe

just until we fix things.

What do you mean, he told you?

Callie? Cal?

Lewis told me that one day the scope,

it just appeared out of nowhere.

That's the thing that hurt you?

Yeah, I call it the Reek.

- How did it find you? - I don't know.

I was just starting to explore with the scope.

- It's pretty neat? - My God, Dad.

It's powerful, Drew.

Each world is so different.

Each version of me, of Callie, the house.

Were so similar, but so different.

You know, the only thing that I wouldn't change?

I was so distracted,

I didn't realize the Reek had come through the veil.

Not until it attacked me.

Lewis, Lewis?

Lewis, open the door.

Just a minute.

Drew's here.

Send him in.

Is it from one of the other worlds?

No, there's a space between the worlds.

I think that's where it lives.

So there's more than one of them.

I don't know.

The real question is,

what if there's other things out there

just waiting to get in.

Now, you can't tell anyone about this.

Even though he knew the risk,

he became obsessed with it.

I warned Lewis that using the scope could be dangerous,

but he didn't stop and world five fell.

We had to escape, and the only person Lewis felt could help

was your dad here in world one.

He spiraled, Callie, his research in quantum physics,

he knew he shouldn't jump through the barrier

between our worlds, but he was desperate.

So what happened to you?

It was Lewis, Lewis from my world.

He used the scope too much.

He broke the veil, and the veil,

it's the only thing protecting us.

So this thing, the stereoscope,

it breaks the barriers between worlds?

Yeah, but we're still not sure how.

I told him to stop, but he wouldn't.

That's when the Reek came.

The Reek?

Yeah, that's what we're calling it,

but we need to get him to stop using the scope

or the veil will fall and we'll all die.

Drew, that's enough.

I didn't realize what Lewis was about to do.

Lewis, I'm gonna send you somewhere safe.

We'll come find you, I promise

- No! - Lewis!

I had no choice, Drew.

Now, Callie and Rae will be here soon.

It's just until I fix this, I promise.

So that's how you know he's alive?

Because you stood there

while he sent my dad away to be killed.

Lewis said that your dad would be safe

and he said that we'd go get him.

Yeah, I saw how safe that world was.

You know, if he's dead, it's on you.

- I didn't. - Stop.

I'll do it, I swear.

I'll send you back to five.

Stay the hell away from me.

Callie!

I know you don't like me.

I love that kid more than anything.

You know why I believe that?

Because you called me.

Jesus, Meghan, you won.

You can stop patronizing me.

I'll go get her.

Cal, I need to talk a second.

Callie, Callie!

Rae, what is it?

Baby, thank God.

Callie, whatever happened, you're bleeding.

No, it doesn't matter.

It's Dad, he's alive.

He's not dead.

What, what are you talking about?

He's alive in a different world

and I can prove it with this.

Okay, I'll prove it to you.

You gotta be careful because when you put it in,

the Reek can come through.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, I must have dropped it when I fell.

Cal, Cal, Cal.

I think it's time we had a talk, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Drew said he could help us.

We should be out there looking.

- Dad is in danger. - Callie, stop.

Do you hear how you sound?

Monsters, a boy from another world?

Your arm looks terrible, Jesus.

- No, I'm fine. - No, you are not.

And your mom and I think it's time

that you come live with me.

No, no, no, I don't.

Callie, that thing you saw,

did it have horns and those teeth?

You saw it too.

Do I need to remind you why I'm here?

Your mom was hallucinating.

No, she's not.

Mom, I should have, I should have told you.

Callie, you're unwell and I am not

going to leave you here with this woman.

Come on, okay?

- Now, let's go. - Wait.

I'm not going anywhere with you, Aunt Meg.

You should go.

Okay, but your father wouldn't want you

to go through this.

I am doing this for you, Callie.

I'm sorry.

Mom, I should have asked.

I should have said something.

No, it's, it's okay.

Let's go find your dad.

What'd you say?

Cal, have you seen the flashlights?

Yeah, let me see if I can find them.

God.

- Sorry. - Callie.

I found the flashlights.

So tell me about this monster, what.

Callie.

I'm not the bad guy, I swear.

I don't care what you say.

I don't need you anymore.

No, you're gonna have a hard time

jumping worlds without this.

Mrs. Thomas.

Is that what we needed, Cal?

If you're gonna go up against the Reek,

you need all the help you can get.

Why should we trust you?

I messed up.

Just promise me that once we find your dad,

we bury the scope, okay?

Here, take this.

We're not even, not yet.

Callie, can we trust this kid?

He came back, I mean, he didn't have to.

He knows about this stuff.

We'll just keep an eye on him.

No, no, I'll keep an eye on him.

- You're staying here. - What? No way.

Listen, if something happened to you

I would never forgive myself.

Right back at you, Mom.

And besides, like Dad said,

the strongest shape in the universe has three sides, right?

This will help.

Maybe try this instead.

What, we just show up?

Say we're from another world

and ask them if they've seen my husband?

Pretty much.

And either we find him or a version of him

that might know how to help.

A version of him, God.

Come on, Mom, you can do this.

Ready?

We have to touch.

I'm not being creepy.

Fine.

And Drew, if anything happens to her,

I'll kill you myself.

Yes, ma'am.

All right Callie, set it for world two.

All right, ready?

This is the veil thing?

Yeah, that's how it looked where I lived

just before it fell.

Is that bad?

It just means we don't have time to waste.

Come on.

Lewis!

Who the hell are you?

Dad?

- Lewis. - Dad.

Is that really you?

Cal?

What's going on here?

Lewis, we're gonna need your help.

It gets less weird, trust me.

This is really real, isn't it?

And as real as the thing that's been hunting us, thanks to you, it seems.

Well, I'm sorry, we didn't know.

They were just trying to find her father.

They didn't know that using the scope

would let that thing in here, so sorry.

That's okay, I'm sorry

we haven't seen your husband. He's not here.

Well, then maybe you guys can all come with us

and we can go look together.

I have a better idea.

I've got something that might help.

Y'all sit tight, I'll go get it.

What do you mean you can help?

It's fine, I'm taking care of it.

I just think that they didn't know what's happening to us.

Maybe, now they planning

on using that thing even more?

No, not if I can help it.

So how do you think you're gonna go find him?

Well, we go look?

I mean, unless your dad can help us.

No, no, no, no, no.

Give me the device or I'll take it.

I'm not gonna let my family die

so yours can live, no, sorry.

Give it to me.

Slide it across the floor.

- I said give it to me. - Don't you hurt her.

And move again and I'll pull this trigger.

Give it to me.

Slide it across the floor.

And move, move.

Lewis, stop, don't do this.

Dad, how could you do that?

We stay, we die, Cal.

Now, how's this thing work?

Lewis, please, you don't wanna do that, Lewis.

- Wait. - Wait, wait.

- Stop, stop. - Stop.

Callie, Callie, no, no.

Rae!

The scope, get the scope.

The veil's falling. Go now!

No!

Callie!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Mom, I killed them all.

But we're still okay.

We're still okay.

Where are we?

We're on world five.

This is where Drew was from.

But didn't he say that the veil fell in his world?

Yeah, the Reek could be anywhere.

Mom, we have to go.

That's us.

Okay, the strongest shape in the universe.

Lewis.

Shh.

It could be Dad.

I have an idea.

Just stay right here, okay?

My God, get that door.

Callie.

Run, run, run.

- Mom. - Run and hide.

- Come on. - Go get out of here.

- No, come on. - I love you,

I love you, now go, go.

Hide, you'll be safe.

Mom!

Mom...

Go.

Rae?

Rae.

Dad?

- Are you okay? - Dad!

Callie, it's really you.

What are you doing here?

How did you find me?

Callie figured it out.

Okay, we have to get outta here.

Okay, we're gonna go inside and get the scope.

No, that thing is in there, waiting.

We have to find a place to hide and come up with a plan.

Come on, come on.

We only get one shot at this.

Trust me, trust me.

Come on.

Without the stereoscope, I was stuck.

But that thing can't kill me if it can't find me.

Now, let's figure out how to get us all outta here.

I can't believe you're both here.

You're telling me.

She kept pushing even when I pushed back.

And that is great.

And she gets that from her mom.

I hate to say it, but...

Mom's been a mess without you.

Are you kidding me, you saved my life.

You're a badass.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Now from what I could figure out,

there's a space between the worlds, a dark plane.

This is where the Reek lives.

Okay, so if it likes to dark so much

and bullets can't kill it then maybe fire can.

No, nothing can, Cal,

blades, fire, nothing hurts it, I've tried.

Which means we don't try to kill it.

All right, we get the stereoscope,

we get home and we never use that thing again.

Now, we won't kill it, but it won't be able to get to us.

Okay, that's fine with me.

We've got to get moving before it gets dark again.

Rae, Rae.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's time.

- You ready to do this? - Yeah, yeah.

Okay, I'll distract the Reek,

you find the scope and we meet back here,

but we've got to move fast.

As long as we stick to the plan, we will make it, okay?

Let's go home.

Dad!

Go girls!

Come on, Mom, we have to find the scope.

You look over there.

Keep looking.

What, come on, where are you?

No.

The scope's not here.

Maybe it got moved.

What is it?

Okay, I'm sorry.

Cal! Cal.

Do it now, do it now, Cal.

Setting it for world one.

Go, Dad'll be waiting.

Rae, you're scaring me, let me in.

It's Aunt Meg.

God, not her.

Rae.

Sorry, Cal, we just can't deal with this right now.

- Then we go around her. - Let me in.

Come on, we'll jump through world two.

- Callie. - Yeah?

Come on.

Run.

Let's go.

You ready?

There's my girls.

Do it, do it, Cal.

911, what is your emergency?

Hi, I need police dispatched to me immediately.

My sister-in-law is mentally ill

and my niece is locked inside her house

and I'm worried.

Ma'am, please calm down, ma'am, you're.

Anyone hurt?

Everyone okay? Whoa, that's my girls.

See, I knew you would never give up on me.

And I knew you would figure it out, yes.

Meghan?

Lewis?

Meghan.

My...

How?

Lewis, what is that?

It's the veil, it's starting to fall.

Everybody get in the car.

What do you mean, veil?

- Go! - God, come on, Meg,

- we gotta go, we gotta go. - Okay.

- Meghan, keys? - They're in my purse.

Well, where's that?

On the porch.

- I can make it. - No.

Guys!

My God.

Lewis, where did it, where did it go?

Are we okay?

No, no, stay in the car, please.

Please.

Callie, no!

- Dad, are you okay? - Yeah.

Let's go.
