BOYD: Previously onFrom...

[SOBBING] Come here, come here.

[SOBBING] Oh, no.

[SOBBING]

"Knowledge comes at a cost"?

They killed Jim because of us.

Anghkooey. It means...

"Remember."

BOYD: These kids keep calling you back to help them.

How do we do it?

I'm working on it.

TABITHA: Julie and Ethan. I don't know how,

but I'm going to find a way to take care of them,

to keep them safe.

Hey! [CRYING] I don't want to be here anymore!

What did you do? Why didn't he come home?

I did nothing!

You're lying!

I want Dad!

JIM: Ethan.

The night we arrived here, you had a dream.

Lake of Tears?

It's here, and I need you to find it.

JULIE: Ethan called it Storywalking.

I need you to give me some time, even if it looks bad.

[UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING]

[LIGHT GASP]

[GASPS] Dad!

[SCREAMS, STRAINS] Randall!

[WHIMPERING] [RANDALL] I got you.

[SCREAMING] Look at me.

SOPHIA: Lord, please protect us in this dark place.

[MAN] Ahh!

Please stand by my daddy's bedside

and let him wake renewed in your love.

[MUFFLED WHIMPERING]

[SOBBING] My father died.

KENNY: I'll talk to Boyd about a burial.

BOYD: If people find out what you did...

Help!

No!

That's the kind of thing that could tear this place apart.

You're gonna tell them that you lost your eye

trying to help Fatima.

[ENGINE REVVING] Hey, hey, whoa!

I'm a good person, and I don't deserve to be here.

Get the strip.

What I'm doing is getting out.

There is no way out.

[METAL CLANKING] [TIRES SQUEALING]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I gave birth to one of them.

Dad, tell her that's not what you're saying.

It's the one I killed.

I told all of you that there was something inside me.

Sorry.

It's okay.

I'll get out your way. No, you don't...

You don't need to go.

I just came to get a glass of water.

Boyd said if people find out what happened...

I know.

We should probably get our story straight.

Are you okay?

I'm not really sure I deserve to be.

Elgin, I don't want to hate you.

This place took advantage of both of us.

None of us will ever be the same again...

will we?

No.

We won't.

There's something I need your help with.

[GUNSHOTS] [SCREAMING]

BOYD: Abby, stop!

No! Stop!

[GASPS]

[EXHALES]

Oh, fuck.

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS] Shit.

[GROANS]

You want to tell me what the hell that was yesterday?

Not really.

You're going to have to do a little better than that.

What do you want me to say?

I want you to tell me

that you're not going to lose your shit again

and put people's lives in danger.

You got lucky yesterday, you understand that?

If Kristi had gotten hurt,

you and me are having a different conversation right now.

Look, whoever that was yesterday, that wasn't me, all right?

[SIGHS] I don't want to be here.

Well, good. We're working on that.

[SIGHS]

You know, Kristi told me yesterday that she's seen dozens of people

with dozens of schemes about how to leave this place.

There's only one thing that they have in common.

You know what it is?

They all died.

Yeah.

Well...

Well, this time feels different.

Yeah. It's probably what they thought.

Can you give me a bullet?

I only need one.

I'll go into the woods.

And look, don't worry. You won't even have to clean it up.

Sophia...

I brought you some things from your dad's car.

Thank you.

We're going to take him down to the service now.

Can I have a minute to say goodbye?

Yeah, of course.

We'll be right outside when you're ready, okay?

SOPHIA: Okay.

[DOOR OPENS]

[EXHALES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

You were fun.

I couldn't let you go without something to remember you by.

Fuck!

Fuck.

Jade.

What? Tell me you got something.

Does it fucking look like I have something?

I...

Okay.

It's all... It's in here. It's in here.

I know it is.

There's more to this. There's more to what we need to know, and I just...

I can't...

Fuck it.

You don't have any acid, do you?

What?

LSD.

What? Listen, Henry said Miranda started seeing this place

after an acid trip they took, which kind of makes sense

given, you know, how the brain stores memory.

If it worked for her, it stands to reason it could work for me.

Oh, okay. Um, uh...

Take a breath. Take a breath.

If you're right and everything we need is in your brain,

then the last thing we need is for you to scramble it.

Just take a little time.

Get back to this after the funeral.

[SCOFFS]

I'm not going to the funeral.

Trust me, I won't be missed.

Look, the best thing I can do for Tabitha, for everybody here...

is just find a way to unlock whatever is locked in here.

How are you going to do that?

I don't know.

Hey, Jade.

Be careful.

The message on the barn wall wasn't fucking around.

Whatever answers you may find,

we have no idea what they're going to cost.

You okay?

Doesn't fit.

[SIGHS] Honey, I'm sorry.

It was the only thing I could find in the shed.

You don't have to wear it if you don't want to.

ETHAN: Yes, I do.

At grandpa's funeral,

Dad said a man wears a suit to show his respect.

You look very handsome.

Let's go.

[SOFT CHATTERING]

Days like today...

they're not easy.

I'm not gonna stand here and try to tell you that--

[CAWING]

[CROWD MURMURING]

[CROWS CAWING]

[MURMURING]

Boyd. Just...

[CAWING CONTINUES]

You need to eat.

I'm not hungry.

[CLEARS THROAT] Hello.

Hey, Victor.

Uh...

Oh, I... so...

When I was a boy, I drew pictures

so that the pictures will remember.

This is for you.

[CLEARS THROAT]

That's very sweet, Victor. Thank you so much.

Can I go to the Colony House with Victor?

No, not today.

Please.

I don't want to be here.

Is that okay with you?

Yeah.

Okay.

Be safe, okay?

I'll make sure that nothing happens to him, I promise.

Okay.

KENNY: [SIGHS] Here, you drink this,

and Bakta is just whipping you up something to eat.

Has anything like that ever happened before?

With the... the crows?

No.

I mean, everybody sees them when they see the trees,

but that's, uh... that's-- that's new.

When did it get like this?

What do you mean?

Well, Sara, the girl who helped me with my glasses, she...

she said that after Sheriff Boyd found the talismans, that

for a long time people were safe.

When did that change?

KENNY: It was, um...

I guess it was around the night that my dad died.

We had lost a family the night before, the Pratts.

And then Jim and Tabitha, the Matthews family,

they showed up with Jade.

They came all together?

Um, not in the same car,

just they got here at the same time.

And ever since then, things have been bad?

No, no, that's not what I mean.

Hey, Kenny.

You mind if I borrow him for a second?

I'll be back. Come here a second.

[KENNY SIGHS]

Hey.

Uh, Sophia, right?

I'm Julie.

I know.

I just wanted to tell you I'm really sorry

about what happened to your dad.

How's she doing?

[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

Honestly, I don't really know.

I mean, she prays a lot.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I... I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry.

What the fuck did you mean to do then?

Hey, Julie. No, she thinks it's our fault.

Hey, okay, everybody, let's take a breath.

Did you tell her that all of the bad things started happening

because we came here?

No, no, that's-- No, I didn't say-- No, that's not what I meant.

Let's go home.

No, fuck this.

This is not our home. I... [GASPS]

Julie.

Julie, stop!

Do you think it's true? What?

That when we got here, that all of the bad things that have happened

since we got here, do you think it's our fault?

No, honey. Of course not.

Why did it feel like those crows were celebrating?

[INDISTINCT]

[INDISTINCT]

Sophia.

I'm sorry. I didn't...

It's okay.

We need to talk. Okay? Okay.

Poor Julie.

Yeah.

It seems like a lifetime ago that we made that little space

for her in her room.

Yeah.

Hey.

You know, you haven't really talked much.

About what happened?

I'm trying to be okay.

I am. I just...

I'm trying to let go of this. I just don't know how.

You know what? I have an idea.

Stay right there. I gotta grab a few things.

Where are you going?

Stay right there. I'll be right back.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

[MUSIC FADES]

Oh, look.

Uh, Ethan, my dad is my roommate now.

It's... This is... This is his bed right here.

Yeah, it's a good thing that I threw all my stuff out the window

because then it made all this space.

[SIGHS]

It's nice having a roommate now, too, be...

because you have someone to talk to, you know, if you're afraid.

[SIGHS] And you can talk to me, you know, if you're ever...

if you're ever afraid.

Are there any lakes here?

What?

Lakes. Have you seen any lakes here?

There's the...

There's The Brundles. That's not very far from here.

Can we go see it? What?

No, I don't like it there.

Water's creepy.

Please.

Why do you want to go see The Brundles?

Never mind. I'll find it myself.

No, but you're supposed to stay here with me.

I don't care. Well, I do.

I just need to see the lake.Why?

Friends aren't supposed to keep secrets, Ethan.

Fine.

If you take me to the lake, I'll tell you.

[GROANING]

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

[DRAWER CLOSES]

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MUSIC FADES]

What are you doing out here?

Saw you walk off alone.

Thought you might be doing something stupid,

like going back to the ruins.

Go away.

Julie.

I'm not going to the ruins, okay?

I need to get something from our house.

Okay.

Our old house.

Wait... the one that collapsed?

No. No fucking way.

I was inside that thing when it came down, remember?

Okay. It's too unstable.

Okay.

No, look, look. All right, stop, stop, stop.

What's in there that's so important?

I told you that thing that I can do.

My brother called it Storywalking.

Mm. I learned about it

from one of his books, and all his books are under the house now.

And I need to know if there's anything in there

about how to control it so I can go back and save my dad

without getting killed.

And maybe that is stupid, okay?

But I'm not asking your permission. I'm going.

So you can help me, or you can leave me alone.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Give me that.

[EXHALES]

You still want that bullet?

There's something I need you to do for me first.

What's he doing? I think he's sleeping.

Jade?

What?

Let's go. We just got here.

It's not what I'm looking for. How do you know that?

I just do.

Ethan, you-- you promised...

that if I brought you here, you would tell me.

I need to find the Lake of Tears.

It's a lake with magical powers.

What kind of magical powers?

It can make people better when they're hurt.

I thought I made it up.

But my dad told me it's here.

I need to find it.

When did he tell you that?

Yesterday... out by the RV.

Maybe once I find it, it can make him better.

Maybe he'll come back.

Maybe Jade can help.

Jade!

Oh, for Christ's sakes, what?

We need to find the Lake of Tears.

The Lake of what?

It's a kid's book, though, right?

It's stories made up for little kids.

Before we got here, I thought monsters were made up, too.

Fair point.

You good?

This is where I talked to my dad the day the house collapsed.

He was still down there when the sun was setting.

I was so scared that we were just going to lose him right then and there.

He...

He kept telling me everything was going to be okay.

that I shouldn't be afraid.

Hey, um...

Why don't you let me do this?

What?

I can handle a couple of books.

Besides, someone's gonna need to be up here if something happens, right?

No. No. I should be the...

It's my thing. I should be the one-- Hey, hey, hey.

Storywalker.

Why don't you let someone else do the cool shit for change, huh?

It's good for my self-esteem.

There's a-- There's a way in over here.

[SNIFFLING]

In the story, Achan caused the whole nation of Israel to suffer

because he offended God.

And that's what you told Julie.

I just thought that maybe if somehow they brought some sort of ill--

Okay, stop.

The people here...

they're always one bad day away from giving up.

Giving up, losing hope.

I know, it was-- It was...

I know.

Look.

We need to figure out where you're going to live from now on.

Where do you live?

[SMACKS LIPS]

That big house up on the hill, Colony House.

There's plenty of room there.

But there's so many people there.

Yeah. Can't I just stay at the clinic?

Well, there's no extra rooms in the clinic, so...

Where does Sara live?

What?

She was really nice to me.

That's not a good idea.

Because of... of what she did?

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

How did you, um...

I've... I've heard people talking.

Why-- Why would you-- Why would you want to live with her?

Because I've... Because I've seen her kindness.

And I don't-- I don't think she's a bad person.

You have no idea the kind of person she is.

[GRUNTS] [MUSIC FADES]

[GRUNTS]

JULIE: I-- I can't see you at all. Are you okay?

[PANTING]

I'm fine. Just letting my eyes adjust, that's all.

[EXHALES]

How many of these books am I looking for, anyway?

He kept them all in a little blue bag. They should be together.

Little blue bag, huh?

Piece of cake.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SQUEAKING] [WIND BLOWING]

[WOOD CREAKING]

[EXHALES]

[EXHALES]

Randall?

I'm fine.

What are we doing here?

[EXHALES]

We got storage sheds around town.

Storage room in the diner.

They're filled with clothes, tools,

everything we thought would be useful.

This is everything else.

Okay.

I want you to treat this place like a crime scene.

Like, these... these things, they tell a story, right?

I want you to develop a narrative.

Tell me everything there is to know

about the people this stuff belonged to.

Why?

Because I asked you to.

So why don't you do it?

You're a cop.

You were trained to do this. I wasn't.

ACOSTA: Hm.

There... There might be things we overlooked.

Something that'll help us get out of here.

Tell me why we're really here.

I just did. Bullshit.

Hey.

You better tell me why we're really here.

Because you remind me of someone.

All right?

You remind me...

of someone I could have helped and I didn't.

I don't get to get that back.

But I'm not gonna stand here and--

Look, I know you think everything I said is bullshit.

And maybe it is.

Maybe it isn't. Right?

But if you... do this for me,

think about all the people you might be helping.

The people you might be saving.

You think about the cop who first put that badge on.

You do all that and you still want that bullet...

then yeah, we'll talk.

It's a promise.

[CROWD CHATTER IN THE DISTANCE]

Donna?

[FLOORBOARD CREAKS]

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

I think she went back to town.

[MUSIC FADES] Oh...

You need something?

Uh, no. I'm-- I'm okay.

Are you?

Forty years, I sat in my house after my family disappeared.

I was a lot of things.

"Okay" was never one of them.

I should go home. Where are you headed?

Um, just going home. Mm.

Oh. Well, I'll walk with you.

Henry, no. It's okay. I can go by myself.

But, Tabitha, I don't think you should be alone right now.

So where are you really going?

I'm going home.

And where are you going after that?

Henry, I don't know what you're talking about.

Sure you do. You're good at a lot of things, Tabitha.

Lying is definitely not among them.

So we can play the whole charade of me dropping you off

at your house and then waiting to see where else you go.

Okay, I'm going to find the lighthouse, okay?

[EXHALES]

I'm gonna find my way back to the lighthouse.

I got out of here once.

If I find the lighthouse, maybe, maybe,

hopefully I can do it again and take my children with me.

I'm not gonna let them die here.

How? Donna said no one knows where the lighthouse is.

No, they don't.

That's why I have to do it again, like I did the last time.

I have to go through The Bottle Tree.

The-- The man in the pool, Dale, right?

He died when he tried going through.

Yeah, but... Okay, what if it was...

What if it was not meant for him?

What if it was only meant for me?

And what if you're wrong?

What if you end up stuck in the side of God-knows-what, somewhere...

Well, I don't know. I don't know, Henry.

I have to try.

Okay.

I'm coming with you. No, Henry.

You said you're going to The Bottle Tree, right?

I want to see it. I want to see the tree

my wife died trying to reach.

Henry, I have to tell you something.

She was my wife.

Please.

Okay. Let's go.

Okay. Yeah.

Where are we going?

Just a little further.

Why won't you tell me what's in the bag?

You'll see.

Ever heard of a rage room?

They're really popular in Japan.

Sort of a way to lash out.

You know, let go without hurting somebody or breaking shit that you need.

[EXHALES]

[SCOFFS] Ellis, this is really sweet,

but I don't know how this is going to help.

When my mom died...

you were the one that brought me back.

You didn't even know me very well.

But you knew that I was still in there,

underneath all the...

the dark, horrible shit that I was going through.

And you never gave up on me.

Not until you finally pulled me out.

It's my turn now.

Give it a shot.

[BAT THUDS]

So...

you want the crowbar?

Or the bat?

[EXHALES]

Definitely the bat.

That's my girl.

[GRUNTS]

[ELLIS CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHS]

It's all yours.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMING]

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, so let me get this straight.

You made up this Lake of Tears as part of a game

that you used to play with finger puppets.

It wasn't a game.

It was a story.

Okay, so you told a story about this lake,

some finger puppets, and now...

Now what? You think the lake is here because your dad told you

that you need to find it?

Maybe I didn't make it up.

Maybe I just thought I did.

I'm confused.

Do you remember the red rocks we found at the settlement?

Yeah. My mom thought she made them up

because she used to have nightmares about them.

But the reason she saw those rocks

was because they were here.

Maybe it's the same with the lake.

Maybe I used it in my story...

because it's real and I just didn't know.

What were you doing at The Brundles?

It's an old meditation technique.

ETHAN: Why were you meditating?

JADE: Because I... [EXHALES]

I'm trying to remember something.

I'm trying remember something that I used to know.

Something that'll help us leave.

ETHAN: So we're both looking for something that can help everyone.

JADE: Yeah, I guess we are.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

Hey, Victor, we got a lake to find.

Victor?

Hey.

What is that?

Victor.

[CROW CAWING] [EXHALES]

ETHAN: Victor!

Victor! Come on.

JADE: Victor! ETHAN: Victor!

[MUSIC FADES]

Fuck!

What?

[GROANS]

Nothing. I'm good.

Oh, fuck.

I see the bag.

[SIGHS]

Kenny.

Is everything all right?

KENNY: Sophia and I have been talking about

where she wants to live from now on.

Okay.

And if it's all right, she would like to live here with you.

Oh.

Okay. Sure.

KENNY: Okay.

Okay. Come on.

Let's go.

Randall?

Randall, what's going on?

Ah, just give me a sec.

[GRUNTS]

I got the bag.

What are the titles?

Uh...

Grand Gooligog, the Cromenockle.

Okay, that's them. Get out of there.

Yeah, all right.

Just you and me, pal.

Aw, fuck.

[GRUNTS]

[SQUEAKING]

[YELPS] Fuck!

JULIE: Randall?

Randall?

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

[GROANS]

Better?

A little, yeah.

Well, it's a start, right?

Yeah.

I'm gonna, um... I'm gonna go take a nap.

Yeah, I told Donna that I was going to start getting things ready

for the food run tomorrow.

Okay. Okay.

And hey, um...

thank you for today.

You're welcome.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

It's me.

I did the best I could. Think it's going to be enough?

It's a great start,

but I think we're going to need a little bit more.

[MUSIC FADES]

Well...

Victor told me this is where Miranda was going when...

when she died.

He took me to her grave, but I...

I don't think he could bear to take me here.

This looks just like the one she made back home.

Except for this.

Go back to town, Henry.

Tabitha, you can't do this. Henry, please, I...

Look, I was hoping you'd realize it on your own by the time we got here.

Henry, I told you. The tree is the one

that's gonna let me go through. Yes, the tree is meant only for you.

And... And... And... And what if it isn't? What if you're wrong?

What if you end up stuck in some walls somewhere,

gasping for air, alone?

What happens to Julie and Ethan?

I left a note for Donna. [NERVOUS EXHALE]

She'll make sure to take care of them.

You left a note? Yes, I did.

Boy, well, I didn't realize you'd left a note.

I'm sure they'll be just fine.

Am I supposed to do nothing?

[INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYS]

Finding the lighthouse could be what gets everyone home.

And if it's not? I don't know. I'll try something else.

Not if you're dead! Then what the fuck

am I supposed to do, Henry?

Move! Please. I don't know!

I don't know. I wish I did know.

But if you want to go through this tree...

you're gonna have to go through me first.

Henry, move.

Please, Henry.

Your kids need you.

Ethan and Julie.

Tabitha?

Here.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC CONTINUES]

Why are you here?

Why do you look so different?

Those are the wrong questions.

Will that tree take me back to the lighthouse?

I don't think so.

Wait, you don't think so?

You told me it was the only way.

It was, but that was before.

Yeah, but before-- Okay, you need to stop talking in riddles.

You're getting so close now,

but I'm afraid you're running out of time.

ETHAN: [IN THE DISTANCE] Victor!

[MUSIC FADES]

Victor!

Okay. It came from over there. Come on.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

Victor!

[VICTOR WHIMPERING]

What happened?

TABITHA: [IN THE DISTANCE] Ethan? We're over here!

Ethan!

Oh, honey.

[MURMURING]

Honey. Victor.

Hey.

Hey, talk to me, son.

I told... I told myself it wasn't real.

[WHIMPERING] I told myself it wasn't real.

[HENRY] Shh. It's okay, buddy.

It's okay.

You're all right, son.

It's okay, son. It's okay.

It's all right. You're all right.

It's all right. Hey, hey.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHISPERING] I'll be damned.

[MUSIC FADES]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Hey, Abs.

Been a while.

Things are...

Yeah, things are changing.

I am changing.

Done some things recently,

and said some things.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS]

I don't know if I like who I'm becoming.

But I don't know who else to be.

Tabitha and... and Jade,

uh, if what they're saying, what they remember,

if-- if it's true,

it feels like for the first time,

we're close to something.

Yeah, but none of it matters if...

if I can't hold these people together.

If I lose these people right now, I...

Yeah.

I could really use some help.

I... I... I don't know if there's--

if there's anything you can do, but...

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]
