Previously on From...

I'm sorry. This is the only way.

- Where am I? - You're in Camden, Maine.

Get the hell outta here. You deaf? I said get the--

Where did you get that?

You're Victor's father.

I'm gonna go look for my wife.

Someone's gotta make sure that Jim comes back in one piece.

I know what it's like to lose a parent here,

and I'm not gonna watch Julie and Ethan lose

both their parents in the same week.

Ma...

What the fuck?

These look pretty solid.

We could just start from here in the morning.

- Just give me a second. Come on!

My stomach just hasn't been right.

Those animals are the only food that we have now.

They are a resource. We have to make everything last!

There's goddamn cows in the street!

Get those smaller animals into the barn!

Alma's outside! - No! Go! Ethan, run!

- Julie! Go!

- Shh!

- Let's go! Come on!

No, no, no! You go back!

- We do together!

- No!

Boyd!

You think this place can't break you?

Let's see.

- What the fuck?!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no! I know, I know, I know!

I know! I know! I know!

- Don't.

Somebody has to go and see.

Oh, God. Oh, Jesus, no.

- Boyd?

Boyd! Hey, hey, hey! Hey!

- Key.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, Boyd.

Where's the key?

In my pocket.

They left it in my pocket.

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry!

Please...

Kenny!

No. No.

You gotta come down here!

Look at this.

It's growing in patches all around the lake.

There's enough food here to feed everybody in the entire town.

What happened?

Oh, no. It's okay.

You, um...

You passed out on my front porch.

Maybe-- maybe I should just--

You should sit.

Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You showed up on my doorstep

with the lunchbox my son left here with...

...a very long time ago.

So, you're gonna tell me how you found that,

and you're gonna tell me right now.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay. Um...

My name is Tabitha Matthews.

My family and I were on a road trip

to see some relatives in Colorado,

when we had to take a detour off the highway.

There was a massive tree in the middle of the road,

so we thought we were just driving around it.

But we never got back to the road.

We kept driving, and-- and we got to this... town,

a place that we couldn't leave.

But there were people there,

and some of them had been there for a while.

I don't know how long they'd been--

No, no! Where did you get the lunchbox?

Well, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

The place we ended up,

there are people that had been there for years, I mean, for--

Where did you get the lunchbox?!

- He gave it to me! - Who?

Your son. Victor. He--he gave it to me.

Oh. He gave it to you.

Yeah.

When?

Um...

- Three, four... Four days ago.

Victor is alive. The town I was telling you about,

he's been stuck there all these years.

Okay, all right. If, uh...

If you won't talk to me, then maybe you'll talk to the police.

No, sir. Please, please. You can't call them.

I can't tell them who I am.

If I try to explain any of this to them, I'll sound crazy.

When they ask where my family is...

what am I gonna tell them? I don't--

I don't know where they are.

Please, sir, you have to believe me.

- Please don't call the police. - Well, Tabitha,

I called the police about 20 minutes ago.

They should be here any minute.

So, we're just gonna sit here together...

until they arrive.

I know how to prove I'm not lying.

No. You don't come in here. You understand?

Boyd might be okay with everything you did,

but if you think for a second--

Tian-Chen died.

What?

Something happened last night. The animals...

got out into the street, and she...

I didn't... I thought you would want to know,

and I wasn't sure if anyone...

I'm sorry.

- Kristi? Who was that?

Baby?

Hey, what's wrong?

Um...

What?

Uh, Kenny's mom died.

What?

Over there.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay...

Here. Okay.

We... We need to, um...

Uh...

We need to make sure she gets buried with her husband.

She would have wanted that.

She wouldn't...

Uh, right.

- Yeah. - Boyd...

Yeah.

You were in the barn with her, with those things.

Yeah.

How are you still alive?

They wanted me to watch.

They...

Yeah.

No! Let me go!

Boyd!

Boyd!

Boyd!

Boyd!

Is it true?

Oh, fuck.

I wanna go see her.

I just... I don't think that a good idea right now, okay?

She's gonna be okay, right? Kristi can fix her.

Ethan...

We should bring her her blanket.

She'll be more comfortable when she has her blanket.

- Hey, hey... - I wanna go see her.

It's okay.

Tell her that we have to go see Tian-Chen!

That we have to help!

I could use a little help in there.

No. I have to go.

You... You have to go? Yes, I have to go.

- Hey, hey! I'm talking to you! - I have to go!

Wait! Where are you going?

- I can't stay here anymore. - Why?

- Because! - We have to help her!

We can't help her! She's dead!

She's dead, Ethan!

People die here!

I told you that! It's not make-believe!

I told you that bad things happen here!

It's not my fault that you didn't listen!

I have to go.

It's okay.

I mean, there's other people you can look up.

Boyd Stevens. His family went missing.

Uh... Donna. Um, Donna...

Um, okay.

Liu! Liu! Tian-Chen and Kenny Liu.

That family-- that family's there, too.

You're lying. I-I...

I don't know how you're doing this, but you're lying.

No, no. No, no, no, no, no.

I swear to you I'm not.

I swear on my children's lives.

My family is trapped, and Victor is trapped, too.

Then how did you get here, huh?

You want me to believe you just happen to be the one person

who somehow managed to escape this terrifying place?

Listen, I don't understand, but yes, yes.

And Victor helped me.

No, don't...

Please.

Victor is a good man.

He's nice and sweet, and my son loves him.

And my daughter... He saved my daughter's life.

I thought that

if I saved the children locked in the tower, then...

somehow, I could save her from whatever's happening to her--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What did you say?

Well, when I was in town, I started seeing children,

or at least imagining I was.

And they were really frightening.

Victor said that they were children locked in the tower,

that if I saved them, then maybe I could--

I could somehow help my daughter from what she's going through,

and I don't know if I'm doing it--

Camden PD!

Please. Don't let them in. Please.

- Uh... - Please!

I'm not lying. I'm not lying.

Henry! Henry, you in there?

- Hey, man.

I screwed up, man. I thought I had an intruder

and turned out to be just a dog off the leash.

The owner came back to...

Look, I owe you a dozen, okay? I'm sorry.

All right, Henry. Take care of yourself.

Yeah, you, too. Yeah, I'm sorry.

- Thanks.

I, uh, bought that almost 40 years ago...

a few years after my family disappeared.

I never once had the courage to even load it, much less...

I'm gonna make you something to eat.

It was an ambush.

They knew we'd go after the animals.

Goddamn things opened the pen

and just waited for us to walk right to them.

How many did you save?

What's... What?

Animals.

How many did you save? Was it worth it?

Risking everyone's lives, for what?

An extra goat? A cow?

How much better off are we today than we were yesterday?

Wait, wait.

Are you saying that I had a choice?

- Those animals are all we have!

No, Boyd! We are all we have!

Us! These people! This family!

That is all we've got, and now we've got one less!

So, what was-- what was I supposed to do?!

Just stand there,

watching our only resource go wandering off into the woods?

We would have starved!

We would have found another way!

Yesterday you were ready to crawl into a fucking hole

because the crops had spoiled!

And now you're standing there, telling me

that we would have found another way?!

That I shoulda just-- I shoulda--

That I should just-- get the fuck outta here!

- What the fuck am I-- - No, okay, No, you're right.

You're right. You did what you had to do.

You did the only thing you could do.

And you lost...

...because the game here is fucking rigged.

And no matter what hand you play, you lose.

Donna. Donna...

No, no, no.

I'm not angry at you, Boyd.

I'm not.

I'm angry at me.

Angry at me

because you told us that, someday, we'd go home...

...and I was stupid enough to believe it.

- I'm-- - Get off!

Oh!

We gotta dress that cow before the meat spoils.

Hey. You been in there for a while.

You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine. - You know, I was thinking,

maybe we should go see Kristi, uh, just as a precaution.

Ugh.

Look, that's not necessary.

- It's just morning sickness.

Can you at least open the door?

Give me a second!

You know, why don't I go see if Kristi

can just come up here, and that way, you can just stay?

- Look, I said I'm fine!

I don't need everybody--

It doesn't feel right.

You're not sleeping. You're barely eating.

Fatima?

Fatima? Hey, look, come on. What's going on?

Fatima, you're scaring me. Come on.

Can you please open the door?

Uh, I think you're right. Maybe we should go see Kristi.

Kristi? You here?

Wait here.

Hello?

Coming.

- Hey. - Is Kristi here?

Uh, she's... She's down in town.

She's taking the news about Tian-Chen pretty hard.

Listen, this can totally wait.

- The poor woman... - No, it really can't.

Come on in. I'll take a look at you.

You know what? Maybe we should wait for Kristi.

Kristi's dealing with a lot right now.

Yeah, but...

Look, no offense. You're not a doctor.

I am, however, a pediatric nurse.

So, as far as pregnancy goes,

I've pretty much seen everything.

Come on. Come.

Kinda cold out for a swim.

What are you doing out here?

I just realized that...

I can't even remember whose truck this was.

That's how many people we...

Danny.

And his, um-- his girlfriend Shay.

Right.

Danny and Shay.

They were good kids, yeah.

What happened last night, it...

wasn't your fault.

You know, with all due respect, Kristi,

I'm... not here for a pep talk.

All due respect, Boyd, I don't really give a shit.

Look, after what happened with Sara,

when she tried to hurt Ethan...

you sat with me in that diner

and you told me it wasn't my fault,

that it was this place,

that I had saved a lot of lives, and that I was gonna save

a hell of a lot more by the time this all was finished.

So, was that just a bunch of bullshit

to make me feel better, or did you mean it?

Hey. This isn't your fault. Okay?

Now, come on. Let's go get you cleaned up.

Guys!

Hey! We found food!

Look! Look at this!

There's a--there's a lake, and it's got everything.

It's got vegetables...

We found food!

All right.

There's, uh, there's potatoes.

There might even be fish in the water!

What's going on?

Where are my kids?

They're fine.

They're-- they're okay.

Whose blood is that?

Kenny...

Where's...

Wait. Where's...

Where's my mom?

Kenny, maybe we should go inside.

Kenny!

Mom?

Ma!

Mom!

- Hey, Kenny-- - Stop! No, no, no, no, no.

- Hey, bud. Ken? - No, stop!

- Bud, I'm... - No.

- ...so s-- - Stop, stop. No! No, no!

- Listen, I'm so-- - No, no! Stop! Just--just stop.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. Yeah.

I got it.

I'm so sorry. I'm so--

I'm so sorry.

Kenny, hey.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I'm okay.

I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Where is she?

In the church.

I just, uh...

I just... I need to sit here for a minute.

'Kay?

Yeah. Okay.

When was the last time you ate?

Uh, three... four days?

She can't keep anything down.

I've tried to.

It's just even the smell of food,

it's just...

- Deep breath.

Look, are you sure we shouldn't just get Kristi?

- Ellis, just... - How've you been doing

since, you know...

Since what?

Since I went through withdrawal,

or since this place... mind-raped me?

Look, I know this is scary,

and if it's any consolation,

you're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing.

In the tradition of first-time fathers everywhere,

you're scared out of your mind,

and you're asking every question you possibly can.

As for you, you're severely malnourished.

It's a wonder only one tooth fell out.

You also may have something called hyperemesis gravidarum.

What is that? Is that bad?

It's essentially really bad morning sickness.

We really just need to get you eating again.

Well, you tell that to the world's pickiest eater.

I'm gonna see if maybe we have something

that can settle your stomach.

But as far as the baby?

- Everything's okay? - As far as I can tell,

everything's fine.

- I'll be right back.

Ah, you see? I told you.

- Everything is okay. - Was that you?

- Yeah. - That was--that was you?

Yeah, yeah, it was totally me, you know,

calm, cool, collected.

Yeah. Might have missed that.

You hear that in there? Everything's gonna be okay.

Whenever things got really bad here, she'd...

...she used to always say...

"No matter how bad it gets,

we'll never have this day again."

She'd always repeat it

to make sure I got the message.

Did she...

Did she suffer?

- Kenny, I-- - No, I...

It's okay. You don't have to...

Have you seen her?

Have you seen what they did to her?

Not yet, no.

Whenever I think about my dad...

I can't...

All I can see is him lying there in that basement.

I can't think of him and not see him like that.

I don't want it to be like that for her.

Can you do me a favor?

Yeah, of course.

Can you...

Can you make her...

Can you make her look like her?

Can you make sure she looks nice?

She would be really upset,

if she, uh...

...if she didn't look like her.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You, um... You need anything at all,

anything, you get someone to come get me, okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

You're back.

Yeah.

Tian-Chen is dead.

I know.

Ethan's upstairs.

- Julie... - No.

Don't. Just please don't.

Julie, whatever you're feeling right now,

it's okay.

No, it's not.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Ethan almost died, too.

Did you know that?

You should have been here, Dad.

I... I can't. I can't be like before.

Hey, hold on. What are you talking about?

I can't be the fill-in parent while you lose your shit.

I was looking for your mother.

Mom is gone! Okay? She's gone!

She went through a tree, and now she's gone!

We don't know that.

Dad... people can't survive more than a few hours at night

without a talisman.

She's been gone four days. I know--

I know you feel bad that you didn't stop her, but I can't...

When Thomas died, you and Mom fell apart,

and there was no one there for Ethan.

I was 15.

I can't do it again.

I can't. Not this time.

I need you to get your shit together. Okay?

Okay.

I don't get a lot of visitors.

At least now I know you won't pass out on me.

Back before she disappeared, my wife, Miranda,

started hearing voices.

She said they were children, calling out to her,

that they were...

locked in a tower somewhere,

you know, crying out to be saved.

She was terrified of them.

The only person I ever repeated that to

was the investigating detective,

and he died 20 years ago.

When you're done, I-I wanna show you something.

Yeah.

I want you to look at this room.

This is where my children slept.

My little boy.

My little girl.

They were the lights of my life.

And when they disappeared...

it ripped my life to pieces.

I didn't care about the accusations.

I didn't care that everyone thought that I did it.

But...

all I could think, all I could... remember,

even now,

is that the last words I said to them,

"Clean your room or no TV."

And then, I went to work.

When I came home... they were gone.

Why are you showing me this?

I don't know how you know

about those children my wife heard.

I don't know how you got a hold of my son's lunchbox or...

or how you could have possibly faked those articles online.

The only possible explanation

I can come up with...

...is that you're actually...

telling the truth, and that means my son is alive.

And that...

That means something I-I don't--

I don't even have the words to... express.

So, if you, if this isn't real...

you tell me right now.

If this is all just some cruel, elaborate--

No, no, no, no, no. I swear to you, it's not.

I believe that the reason I was sent here...

was to find you.

No.

I think you're here for what's in the basement.

I didn't want her to be alone.

She made me tea.

I'll... I'll give you some time.

Wait!

I have to...

fix her before Kenny sees her,

and I don't know how to do that.

I'm...

I'm not a mortician.

Hey, hey, hey.

- I don't-- - Hey. Let me help you.

I used to play dress-up a lot as a kid.

We can do this. Right?

There we go.

All right, let's get you inside--whoa,

get you fed.

See if Marielle's magic elixir does the trick, okay?

Why don't you go see your dad?

All I gotta do is get in bed,

and he's having a really hard day.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Go. Go. I love you.

I love you, too.

Um, here.

- Oh. - I'll be back soon.

Give him my best, okay?

Okay.

None of these are any good. They're all gross.

Take those to the kitchen?

Are those the crops?

Yeah. We figured we'd try composting them,

see if we can't get the soil turned around.

- You think that'll work? - Who the hell knows?

Sorry about yesterday,

the bathroom, I just...

It's okay. Everyone's on, uh, on edge these days, so...

Still, no reason to be a dick. Sorry.

Victor?

Ethan, what are you doing up here?

- Have you seen Victor? - I haven't, no.

He's not in his room. He was pretty upset.

Is that the cow that died from last night?

Yeah.

I've never seen what things look like on the inside before.

Is that what Tian-Chen looked like...

after what they did to her?

No, sweetie.

Everything's covered in snow,

and it looks so different outside.

I think she'd like that.

Hey, how about you and me--

I'm gonna go home.

Ethan?

She loved you--Tian-Chen.

She loved you very much.

I know.

Excuse me. Um...

When I worked at the diner,

one of the...

We used to try on dresses sometimes,

when things were slow.

We'd go to the storage and...

Well, it was silly.

But this was the one she always...

This one was her favorite.

She said she'd wear it the day we all went home.

I just thought, um...

Thank you, Sara.

Thank you.

That's a heavy pour, even on a day like today.

What I'm about to do...

I'm gonna do, and that's it.

I don't wanna talk. I don't wanna listen.

Kenny, what are the bottles for?

I'm going into the tunnels.

I'm gonna find those things...

and I'm gonna burn every last fucking one of them.

- You think that'll work? - We burned the last one.

- The last one was already dead. - I don't care.

I don't care.

I'm gonna make those fucking things hurt.

- Okay. - Okay what?

Okay. Let's do it.

Let's go.

Victor and Tabitha said they're, uh,

everywhere down there.

Yet Jade went down there,

clearly saw some disturbing shit.

What he didn't see-- creatures, not a single one.

Do you still think they're down there?

I don't know.

Maybe they went somewhere else after Tabitha

and Victor found them or maybe they went deeper in.

This is one thing I do know.

This is how they want us--

angry, stumbling around in the dark.

I also know this.

Hey, if we find them,

there's a good chance we are not coming back.

But if this is what you want to do...

I will go with you, side by side,

and we will take out as many of those motherfuckers as we can.

I can't stop thinking about...

how...

...scared she must have been,

how alone she must have felt.

Hey.

She wasn't alone.

What?

They made me watch.

I couldn't help her. I couldn't--

hey, they made me watch. They made me watch.

I couldn't help her. I couldn't...

- Hey. But...

- Hey.

She was strong, Kenny.

- She was strong. - No, no.

Listen, listen to me. She was brave.

She looked at me, and she did not take her eyes off me.

And before--

before-- before she died, she said...

You know, I don't even know if I'm saying this right.

"Take care of him"-- that's what it means.

"Take care of him."

"He'll be alone now."

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, come here.

Come here, man. Come here.

It's okay.

I got you, brother.

Hey, let's go back, okay?

Let's go back.

Think her hair's okay?

Yeah, I think her hair is great.

What about the makeup? Do you think--

do you think her makeup's okay?

Honestly, I think if you try and put any more makeup on her,

Tian-Chen might sit up and slap the lipstick out of your hand.

I just--I just--I just want it to be right for Kenny.

It's right. Okay?

It's right.

You'll come with us when we go.

I just wanted to say thank you for what you did last night.

You're welcome.

Something happened to me a few days ago.

- I was... - I heard. You okay?

No. No, not really.

I think this place has gotten in my head now,

and I'm scared of what that might mean.

I don't want to hurt anybody. I don't--

It's okay. You can say it.

I don't wanna end up like you.

I wouldn't either.

If you ever want to talk...

Thanks.

Well, believe it or not, it all started on my birthday.

See, me and Miranda were hippies back in the day,

but we gave up all the drugs,

all the drinking when she got pregnant with Victor.

Then, one day, years later, it was my 35th birthday,

Miranda gets it in her head

that we're gonna take a stroll down memory lane.

She gets us two hits of acid.

We take the kids to her parents' house for the night,

and we take one last trip for old times' sake.

That's when the voices started,

when she started seeing things.

She painted everything she saw.

Oh, my God.

I've seen that, too.

She said it was like she'd been chosen.

She said it was a place

that was everywhere, but you couldn't find it if you tried.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Somewhere you could stumble into from anywhere,

but never find a way to leave.

She said there were people there...

...people who were lost...

and afraid...

...who found themselves living inside a nightmare

that they couldn't escape...

...fighting a battle they knew they couldn't win.

She said they were holding on to hope.

And when that hope was gone...

...they held on to each other.

It all sounded like riddles,

gibberish.

She said that, of all the people

who would find their way to this place,

she was the one who had been chosen to free the children.

But she wasn't the first.

Others were chosen before her.

She could see each and every one.

And all of them had failed.

None of them had ever set the children free.

And none of them had ever gone home.

So, if you've seen the children,

if they've called to you, then I guess...

you've been chosen now, too.

- So, how did you get out? - Oh, my God.

How you holding up?

Dad?

Not good. Not good.

Look, I know you, uh,

carry a lot of weight from this place,

and... I know--

I know it feels like everything that happens here--

We can't keep doing this.

We can't just keep sitting around,

waiting to see what-- we need more information.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm gonna need your help with something tomorrow, okay?

Yeah, all right. But with what?

We're gonna catch one of these fucking things.

Are we still gonna live here?

Even though Tian-Chen is gone?

I don't know.

I have to take that one step at a time.

Are you not coming inside?

No, I'm gonna go check on the animals,
