I didn't know who else to call.

It's okay.

I was up.

You can't sleep?

Not since Daniel.

I just can't stop
thinking about Sharon,

out there in that field.

When the police
come back to you,

stick to your story.

Bing killed Sharon,
he knows who took Haley.

I already gave them a statement.

Why would they come back?

To fill the hole in your story.

A hole the size and shape
of a magical Bridge.

You tell them
that's how you found Sharon.

Or that a man with a magical car
wants to meet you.

Charlie Manx.

That's his name.

Get some sleep, Brat.

You're gonna need it.

Vic?

Your coffee, madam.

Thank you.

You know, uh...
I got to tell you,

kind of scared me
in the garage this morning.

I'm sorry.

I'll clean it up.

On my first tour in Kuwait,

I was a driver
in an armored truck convoy.

And, uh...

I'd been there a couple weeks,
you know,

getting the hang of it,
doing good, you know?

Feeling okay.

Things almost seemed normal,
you know?

And then, um...

Then lead truck in the convoy
gets blown sky high.

And later, I...

I recognized
Ricky Giblin's hand,

because we got
the same tattoo one night,

being stupid, you know?

I was your age.

It's not the same, Dad.

Hold on.

I never talked about it.

I just, um...

And that...

You know, it poisoned me.

Just keeping everything inside.

I don't want that for you.

I'm okay.

I am.

If you want to talk about...

Haley, you know...

want to talk about Sharon,

anything, Vic, I'm here for you.

It's okay to talk about stuff.

Dad...

Yeah?

I'm fine.

I am.
I'm just tired.

Okay.

All right.

Jesus, Vicki.

Did you get any sleep at all?

I told you to ice that eye.

I just came to pick up my bike.

Maybe we should start to
think about a car for you, huh?

I prefer my bike.

You're out riding it
at all hours,

you always come back sick...

All right, no,
I won't do that anymore.

What were you doing in
that field? Were you with Craig?

What? No.

Look, Mom, can we...
Can we not do this?

I'm tired.

I just want to get my bike
and go to class.

What's the hold up?

That death trap
you bought her's gotta go.

No, I need my bike.
Vic's a great rider.

Oh, she's a great rider?

Have you seen
your daughter's eye, Chris?

Yeah, discussed it.
She's fine.

Oh, you discussed it.
Oh, you're a doctor now.

This is very good to know.
You know, you and Tiffany,

you should open
a practice together.

You'd really clean up.

Victoria McQueen?

Yeah.

I'm Detective Tabitha Hutter.

I've been assigned to
the Sharon and Haley Smith case.

Is, uh... Is this a bad time?

Let's start
with Sharon Smith's body.

How did you find it?

Uh, well, I was...

riding home on my dirt bike...
Mm-hmm.

When I saw these, um...

all these crows, like,
pecking around in the dirt.

And, uh...

Yeah, it was Sharon.

So, you saw some crows,

stopped on your dirt bike,
and...

decided to dig?

Yes.

Where were you coming from?

Bing Partridge's house.

Bing Partridge.

The 42-year-old custodian
you allege committed the murder.

And helped kidnap Haley, yeah.

Have you arrested him?

What were you doing at his home?

We trade comic books.

I wanted to return
an issue he loaned me.

You're friends with
a middle-aged custodian.

We're not friends anymore.

Did you see Bing kill Sharon

or dispose of the body?

No, but he said
he made her clean.

And then after, Bing,
he just let you go?

No, I escaped.

You escaped on your dirt bike,

stumbled across some crows,

dug up Sharon Smith's body,

and assumed Bing Partridge
dumped her there?

Yes.

I'm telling you the truth.

Maybe.
You're just, um...

not telling me all of it.

Okay, you need to arrest
Bing Partridge.

Here's my card...

In case you remember
anything else.

I was gonna redo the kitchen
with these.

I'll get some turpentine.

Yeah, that's...
That's not gonna help them.

These are ruined.

Damn, girl, I worked
extra shifts for months

to buy this linoleum.

Well, I will pay you back.

Yeah.

You're in high school.

I'm sorry, Tiffany.

Yeah, I'm sorry, too, Vic.

I'm sorry
for what you saw, but...

What I saw was my neighbor,
Sharon, murdered,

naked, with a nail in her head.

Her daughter is missing,
Tiffany,

but by all means,
please, go on...

Tell me more
about your linoleum.

Yeah, I didn't...
I-I didn't sign up this.

All right, ladies,
the garage can wait.

I got grinders.

Ham, cheese, extra pickles,
Coke for the Brat.

Italian works diet 7-Up
for my baby baby.

Oh, you know, your "baby baby"

was just telling me
that she, uh...

she didn't sign up for this.

I think she meant me.

What? No.

No, I'm sure
that's not what she meant.

Tiff?

She... She should be
with her mother.

Well, is that what you think?

That I should live with Mom?

I'm your daughter.

Okay.

Bing Partridge,
I know you're in there.

I advise you open the door.

What's going on here, Bing?

Why weren't you outside
to greet me when I arrived?

Something's happened,
Mr. Manx.

Something bad.

Would you like to take a seat?

I'll stand.

Tell me what happened.

I hope
you won't be angry.

Does it, perchance,

have anything to do
with Vic McQueen?

I was real careful
hiding the mother.

But Vic found her.

Did she now?

She told the police.

They came by
and left a card in my door.

And you were hiding from them?

I'm so sorry,
Mr. Manx.

I understand
if you want to fire me.

Fire you?

For goodness sake,

what kind of a monster
do you take me for?

Body disposal is, by far,

the most difficult aspect
of your job.

Thank you, sir.

Neither you nor I
could have foreseen

the resourcefulness
of our intrepid Vic McQueen.

Vic says what I did
to the mother was wrong.

Then, obviously, she had no idea

what was going on
inside that house.

You found a prophylactic
in the living area,

did you not?

Where young Haley,
a child of 10,

could have discovered it?

It... It was in the trash can.

It was used.

That wanton didn't deserve
to be called "mommy."

You saved that child's life,
Bing.

There will always be those

who don't understand
the work we do,

but we can't let
their permissive attitudes

prevent us
from saving even one child.

Now chin up.

You're going to the police.

You want... You want me
to turn myself in?

I-I don't like policemen,
Mr. Manx.

I find it always best
to face your problems head-on.

No more hiding.

Tell me,

what is the name of your
favorite television program?

"Monster Trucks."

And was "Monster Trucks"
on last night?

All night, every night.
Perfection.

Now listen closely,
Bing Partridge,

because what you do next
will determine

the future of our relationship.

I... I work for

uh, Massachusetts Custodial
and Security Services.

They... They send me
to two places.

I did my shift at SoChemPharm,

and then I headed to William
White Memorial High School,

a-and then home.

I watched television
all night long.

"Monster Trucks."

It's my favorite show.

And th-then I got up,

and I did the same thing
all over again.

Anyone who can confirm all that?

Both... Both my supervisors.

And Victoria McQueen.

When did you see
Victoria McQueen?

She came by yesterday
to return a comic book.

She's my friend.

That all?

Are you...

more than friends?

No.

You ever wish you were?

Vic's a pretty girl.

No.

She's not a pretty girl?

Yes... No.
Yeah, she is.

It's just...

"Just"?

She's in high school.

She's 18, age of consent.

Tell me about
the youth facility.

Those records are sealed.

You weren't much younger than
Vic when you went in, were you?

Those records are sealed.

Was your crime
sexual in nature, Bing?

I work for

Massachusetts Custodial
and Security Services,

and they send me to two places.

I did my shift at SoChemPharm,

and then I headed to William
White Memorial High School,

and then home.

I watched television
all night long.

"Monster Trucks"... Yeah.

Yeah, your favorite show.

I told you there was
something wrong with that guy.

No one ever believes me,

but I'm a pretty good judge
of character.

Or nobody ever believes you
'cause you're always stoned.

Well, that's what your mom
thinks you're doing

in the woods.

You found Sharon
with that Bridge, didn't you?

I know I promised
not to use it again.

But I didn't have
a choice, okay?

I said it once,
I said it a thousand times...

Your heart's too big, Vic.

Too big and too dumb.

You wanna get outta here?

Play hooky for once
in your life, please?

Come on.

Craig, I have to finish
this portfolio

so I can get out of here
for good.

RISD.

You should apply, too.

Yeah, we both know the only
reason I took this class

was to be near you.

You're the best part
about this town, Vic.

And I don't know
what I'm gonna do without you.

Well, there's a party later
at Willa's if you wanna come.

Tea and crumpets gonna be there?

I'd rather go swimming
at Amity Island.

Craig.

They got city hands, Chief.

Been counting money
all their lives.

Okay, you are not Captain Quint.

Okay, I bet those pricks
never even seen "Jaws."

It's a classic.

Yeah, I'll see you later,
nerdball.

Craig.

You're supposed to be in jail.

Murmur, chitchat,
gossip, prattle.

Everyone knows
true friends don't tattle.

We're not friends, Bing.

That lady policeman
you snitched to,

she doesn't have any evidence.

Mr. Manx says
I did nothing wrong.

Then Mr. Manx
is a liar.

He says come alone.

He's a Strong Creative

that's been taking kids
for decades,

and still nobody has found them.

I think he's taking them
to his Inscape.

Maybe if we find out
what that is,

your Bridge can take us there.

Maybe it can't.

Last time I tried,
it took me to Bing's.

You were looking for Haley.

And she was in the Wraith.

What if your Bridge can only
take you to a fixed point?

It's a Bridge, right?

It can't take you
to a moving car.

He must've left Bing's
right before I got there.

Tomorrow...

you have to find out

as much about his Inscape
as you can.

I'll drive.

No.

No, no way.
He said come alone.

You can't take your dirt bike.

If he finds out
what your knife is

or if anything happens to it,

you lose access to your Bridge.

Okay.

Okay.

While you're meeting with him,

I'll find the car,
and I'll get the plate...

Something concrete that
we can take to the police.

We can do this.

My tiles told me
the Brat will find the Wraith.

Did they say I'd survive?

I'm sure you will.

Go home.

Sleep.

No, I can't sleep.

And I definitely cannot go home.

When did you graduate
high school?

Why?

Drunk teenagers.

Awesome.

Vic!
Oh.

Oh, my God,
I've been texting you.

You're all over my feed.

You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.

Something for your troubles?

Oh, Vic doesn't drink, so...

Well...

Can I have another?

Uh, damn, bitch, finish mine.

You alkie whore.

Who's your friend?

I'm Maggie.

Is this Scrabble? Oh,
don't touch that.

It contains the mysteries
of the universe.

Hi.

Thought you'd never make it out.

Yeah, I have to placate my fans.

Yeah, I saw that.

Are you okay?

I almost drowned in that pool
when I was a kid.

How old were you?

About 8.

Yeah, Willa had these, um...

These two cousins
visiting for the summer.

And they were older.

Teenage boys.

Willa and I were playing
with our Barbies one afternoon

and they just grabbed me
and threw me in.

Held me underwater
by my ankles and wrists

until I thought
my lungs would explode.

I just felt like I was
between worlds or something.

Life and death.

Reality and thought.

Now, there are some people
in the world...

whose imaginations
are so powerful

that they can pull
their private World of Thought

into the physical
World of Reality

by tearing the fabric
between the two.

I'm one of those people.

You know, scientists say

time and space is infinite.

There are billions of me's
and billions of you's,

billions of dimensions.

Whatever we can think of,

whatever we can dream,

has already happened

or is happening right now
somewhere else.

So...

So you believe me.

Yeah.

I believe you.

That was my first kiss.

You are my first kiss.

Well, no, um, no.

There is that one time
with Joey Ricci,

but, uh, I was 5

so that probably
doesn't really count.

Well, did I...

Did I live up to
or fail the expectations

set out by young Joey Ricci?

You lived up to.

Definitely.

Well, let's go for surpass.

Come on.

Hi, Maggie.

Bye, Maggie.

Edible?

I'm sober.

But you can tell me about
Michael Jackson over there.

Drew Butler.

Hasn't stopped talking about Vic
since Labor Day.

It's so nice
to see her having fun.

Her parents suck.

Then again, all parents suck,

especially mine.

Aww.

They've given you this house,

the nice clothes,
and an education.

That's, like, their job.

Yeah. Okay.

Don't tell me...
You love your parents.

I'm an orphan.

How old were you,
when your parents died?

Oh, they're not dead.

They disowned me
because I'm unholy.

Watch this.

Who is the coolest girl
at Exeter Academy?

Check the circuit breaker.

Be back with drinks.

Beans.

That mean anything to you?

Um...

My mother called me that
when I was a baby.

That's a pretty cute nickname
from someone who sucks.

How do you know Vic?

I'm her ride.

Oh, hey.

Hi! Hi, it's late.

You are so drunk.

And we have a date with
Charlie Manx in eight hours.

Damn it.

We have to go.

I know, I know.

Let's go.

Man, this place is awesome.

Take these and drink this.

You'll thank me in the morning.

You're awesome.

Get some sleep, Brat.

Waiting is the worst.

I trashed
my dad's girlfriend's garage.

It was after Sharon...

after using my Bridge.

I was painting, and...

But I scared him.

The first time

my mom caught me
using my Scrabble Bag,

she sent me to see our pastor.

They thought
something was wrong with me.

That I was bad.

Yeah, my dad used to think

I was the greatest

when everyone else
thought I was a weirdo.

And he would always take my side

and make me feel like...

like I belonged.

No matter what,
I belonged with him.

But, um...

I don't know.

I don't think I'll ever
belong anywhere ever again.

Your Bridge brought you to me.

So maybe people like us
belong with each other.

It might not matter
after tomorrow.

There's only one of him.

Two of us.

You're younger than I thought.

You're almost a child.

What have you done with Haley?

Rushing to the end

before we've finished
the beginning?

Patience, Miss McQueen,

you and I have
a great deal to discuss.

Please...

Sit with me.

The first time
you used your Bridge,

I could feel it...
An arrhythmia.

Static came over the radio.

I knew you must be
extraordinarily gifted

to be able to disrupt my Wraith.

Then came the dreams.

I never had the pleasure
of seeing your face,

but I did dream other things
I knew were related to you.

A river.

A man's watch.

The bats.

You'll want to be careful
of those bats.

Our Inscapes are manifestations
of our minds,

so if all the bats
fly out of your Bridge...

Well, you understand
the metaphor.

What does your Inscape say
about your mind?

You tell me.

It has something to do
with Christmas.

So you've been dreaming of me,
as well.

I've had nightmares.

You used your Bridge
to find Sharon Smith.

And I'll use it to find Haley.

Well, that's not true.
You'd have done it already.

Your body's
already paying a price

for using your Shorter Way.

Most Strong Creatives
are crippled

before they ever reach
their full potential.

But I am going to live forever

because I figured out

how to refill
what my Inscape takes from me.

I could teach you.

Like you taught Bing?

Mr. Partridge is a...

simple man.

But, my dear,
we are one in a trillion.

We?

Look at those...

commuters.

Stacked against one another,

you'd be hard-pressed to find
any differences between them.

Creative people
do not belong among them.

I doubt you belong anywhere.

A feeling
I'm sure you know well.

Christmasland is my life's work.

It is a place of wonder and joy.

Your friend Haley is there,
safe and sound,

with all my other children.

I've given them everything...

except a mother.

You would be very welcome
in Christmasland, Vic McQueen.

Dare I say,
you belong there with me.

I'd rather go swimming
at Amity Island.

It means I'd rather die.

That is an option.

If you refuse my generosity

and cannot be prevailed upon
to behave yourself,

I will be forced
to take measures.

Here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna take my Bridge
to your Inscape,

I'm gonna rescue Haley,

and then I'm gonna burn Christmasland
to the ground with you in it.

You are gifted, my joy,

and have great faith
in your Bridge,

but no one has ever been able
to enter Christmasland

except via my Wraith.

I told you to come alone.

I did, asshole.

Who is Margaret Leigh?

Vic!

Vic!

Aah!

Hey, Maggie!

Look at me!
Hey, hey, wake up!

Hey, Maggie!

Maggie, hey.

Hey, wake up, wake up, wake up.

Hey, look at me.

Hmm?

I'm sorry to bother you,
Victoria.

Do you mind if we go somewhere
and talk?

I'm not going anywhere.

Especially not to talk with you.

I just have a few questions.

Yeah, well, I answered
your questions before.

You let Sharon's murderer
go free.

Yeah, well, I didn't have
enough evidence to hold him.

What you told me wasn't enough.

Was Bing your boyfriend, Vic?
What?

Were you with him when
he abducted Sharon? No.

Then why leave out
so many details?

Were you scared
he was gonna hurt you?

Is that why
you were at the bus station,

trying to leave town?

Oh, my God.

Who was driving the car
that hit Ms. Leigh?

Was it Bing?

Did you see him?

You must have seen the driver.

We are never going to find out
who did this to your friend,

we'll never find Haley,
and more people will get hurt

unless you tell me
what you know.

Who was driving the car?

No one.

It's a black
1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith

with a vanity
license plate NOS4A2,

and I watched it run down Maggie
on its own.

You're saying the car hit Maggie

with no driver behind the wheel?

The Wraith belongs
to Charlie Manx.

He uses it to hurt people.

He uses it to steal kids
and take them

to a dark place
in his imagination

called Christmasland
where he hurts them, too.

There's a bridge
called the Shorter Way

that I can build in my mind.

It helps me find lost things.

I thought I could help you
find those children.

They want me
to sign something called

a conditional voluntary commitment.
I know.

I'm not crazy.

I know you're not.

It's just, you know, a few days.

To get some rest, Vic.

It's to get a little help, Brat.

I wish that I'd gotten some help
when I needed it.

I don't need help.

I don't...

This is a good thing.

What, good for me,
or good for you and Tiffany?

I guess good for everyone.
