- Previously on "Limetown"...

- Lia, it's a survivor,

and she wants to speak to you.

- Winona told me where
the next survivor is.

She said they all died because
of him in Rake, Wyoming.

- There's something
you need to see. Get dressed.

- They died because of him.

- Warren Chambers.

You took care of the pigs
at Limetown.

[unsettling music]

[thunder rumbles]

- Have a seat.

- I couldn't help but notice

the makeup of your congregation.

- I attract a specific crowd.

They're close. They can see it.

I guess you could say
I'm a salesman of a sort.

- A salesman?

Well, that seems cynical.

- Well, let's just say I speak

outside the purview
of the organized religions.

I'm pitching a different
sort of gospel anyway.

- What sort is that?

- The gospel of death.

- Why didn't you tell me
who you were before now?

- It was a test.

You passed.

- No more tests, okay?

So before you came to Limetown,

you were a large-animal
veterinarian,

uh, in Pennsylvania, correct?

- That's correct.

- So you were
a medical professional?

- I know how to inject people
with needles,

if that's what
you're getting at.

- And you came
to Limetown alone?

- Yes.

I was alone.

My wife had passed
a little before that,

and I really didn't care
what the hell I was doing

as long as
it was something else.

[singing over radio] Never
in a million years

Could there be another you

I would shed a million tears

If we were ever through

Never in--

[key clicks, radio stops]

[intriguing music]

[knocking at door]

- Dr. Chambers?

- Yes?

- Hi. I knocked, um,

but, um, I don't...

I just, um...

sorry.

I just wanted to stop by

and tell you
how sorry I am for your loss.

I apologize. That was rude.
I haven't introduced myself.

I'm Emile Haddock.

I'm Oskar Totem's
executive assistant,

and I just wanted to stop by
and see if you needed anything.

- How'd you know?

- We do our homework, you know.
[chuckles]

- Does everyone know?

- Oh, no, sir. No.

We don't operate like that.
No.

- Well, I'm--
I'm all right for now.

Thank you for stopping by.

- Sure.

Well, if you need anything,
don't hesitate.

- I'm just here for the pigs,
Mr. Haddock.

- Okay.

Well, welcome to a fresh start.

[hopeful music]

I'm around.

[hopeful music]

[pigs snorting]

- Hello, everyone.

My name is Warren.

Welcome to Limetown.

[door creaks open]

Come on.

Welcome, welcome. Come on.

Good guy.

Good guy.
Here you go.

Yeah. Hey, girl.

Yeah. Hey, hey.

[animal grunting and squealing]

What are you
still doing in here?

Not afraid, I see.

Good.

I think you're gonna be
running this place soon enough.

Yeah. They better stay
out of your way.

[laughs]
- [oinks]

- It's decided then.

I'm gonna call you Napoleon.

Come on. [grunts]

Yeah.
Good girl.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Yeah. You're gonna be
running this place soon.

Yeah.

Let's see.

There's--there's Piglet,

but he's a little scaredy-cat.

There's Wilbur
from "Charlotte's Web."

Now, that's a good one
to look up to.

And then there's Miss Piggy,

who Estelle always liked.

You're named after a pig
who becomes a dictator,

but that's just ironic, okay?

My wife would kill me
if she knew you were in here.

She was all bark, though.

You would have liked her.

I know it's strange, but...

people were never who I felt
most comfortable around,

and Napoleon wasn't
just a pig, you know?

Grief creeps into your life
and twists it just enough.

You're constantly
at war with yourself,

never sure if what you're
feeling or doing is right.

And when you find peace,

you don't question it.

After Estelle died,

that pig was the first thing
that made me feel human.

[nostalgic music]

Hey. Come here.

Hey.

Heavens.

How you doing today?
Doing all right?

All right. Yeah.

Meet your new friends.

Now, that's Billy over there.
Yeah.

And there's Sarah.

Yeah.

See? I think you're gonna
like it here.

Hey, hey.
Can I help you fellows?

- Which one's the oldest?

- What's this all about?

- Bacon.

- All right.

Well, this one here is.

[pig squeals loudly]

Henry,
stay away from that.

You had enough food today.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey fellows.

Couldn't we just take
a day off today, huh?

[pigs squealing]
Just--just take it easy.

[pig continues squealing]

- Why did Limetown need pigs?

- When you're rolling out

a new piece
of biomedical engineering,

where do you start?

- Wait. Biomedical?

- You start your experiments
on animals.

And then, if and when it works,
you move to human animals.

What are some
of the characteristics of pigs

that come to mind?

- Um, they're smart.

They're sensitive. They're--

- Delicious.
- [chuckles]

- They're slaughter animals.

No one bats an eye
if you kill them.

On top of that, they carry...

[knocking at door]

A great anatomical similarity
with our own species.

- I apologize
for the hour, Dr. Chambers.

May I come in?

[tense music]

I know you've been wondering
about the fate of all the pigs.

I must tell you their individual
lives have been lost,

and that is sad,

but their sacrifice
was for something much larger.

I know you find me to be
something of a huckster,

so I'll speak to specifics

as to the nature of this place
in which we both live and work.

We're here to build a product,
Dr. Chambers,

and this product, if successful,

will change the world
and the way we communicate

because it will allow
for mind-to-mind communication

between users.

- Okay. Wait, wait.
"Mind-to-mind communication"?

[laughs] I mean, that's not--
that's not possible, right?

- That's not even
the strangest bit.

He said it was early,
but they had--

- ...the prototype,
and we now have a method

to successfully plant it
into the brains of pigs.

- [oinks]

- This, combined with the
proper dosage of a supplement

that we have manufactured,

will allow us
to hear their thoughts.

I don't--I don't understand
- what you're saying.-

What--what thoughts?

In what language?

- Music.

Specifically a series
of synthesized tones

that will interpret the raw
emotional data of the animal

that will then
be relayed to you.

Yeah. I know it's
a lot, Dr. Chambers.

But you're an intelligent man.

You knew something
was going on here

that you couldn't
quite define, hmm?

Speech without speech.

That is our aim,
and we are close.

We just need someone
to be able to listen--

someone who the animal
is comfortable with,

who the animal already
has a relationship with.

And we want that someone...
to be you.

- [breathing slowly]

[strange tone ringing]

[winces]

[tone continues]

- Dr. Chambers?
The surgery was a success.

- Where's Napoleon?
- Oh, he'll be here soon.

He's perfectly fine.

- Good.

- Do you hear that tone,
Dr. Chambers?

That's the sound
of your emotional state.

It's rudimentary,

but it's our best way
of understanding the animal

and you, as it were.

[door clicks open]

Oh, here he is.

[tone continues]

[calming, resonant tones]

- I don't...I don't understand.

[laughs]

- Just talk about
what's happening.

- I can--I--I--I can feel...
[laughs]

I--I--I can feel his happiness.

[laughing] I can feel it
like it's--like it's mine.

[laughing]

- You can feel what he feels?

[tones slow and lower]

[Napoleon grunts softly]

Now he's hungry. [laughs]

And so am I.

Many things
about our time in that town,

you will come to learn,

will feel aligned
with darkness,

but what I don't want
to get lost is the magic,

the power of that piece
of hardware built there.

It was as pure a thing as I had
ever experienced in my life.

It pulled me back
from the ledge.

[hopeful music]

- Are you ready to begin?

[Napoleon snorts]

Let's try happy.

[brightening tones]

[Warren chuckles,
Napoleon oinks]

- [laughing]

- That's wonderful.
We have parity.

Well, let's try something
a little more nuanced.

Well, what if you
imagined something

about which you feel guilty?

[uneasy, trembling tone]

Okay. Thank you.
That's--that's enough.

Let's try angry.

[stuttering, dark tone]

[Napoleon grunts happily]

- [chuckles]
Too happy, the damn thing.

- Try harder, Dr. Chambers.
We need it for our baseline.

[dark tone grows]

What's the angriest
you've ever been?

[dark tones continue]

- Your sister stopped
by today...

[tones continue]

And I told her
you'd be all right.

[inhales sharply]

- Push harder.

[tones intensify, stop]

- I can't.
- You're almost there.

[tones intensify steadily]

[tones continue]

[tones continue]

- [sniffing gently]

[soft, calm tones]

- Let's work more tomorrow.

- Whatever I felt and brought
into that room

was like trying to stand
against the ocean.

[laughs] We--we shared a mind.

- So there were no secrets?

No silence?

- No.

No. There was no going back
from that.

- Good morning.

[foreboding tones]

[tones intensify]

- Dr. Chambers,
this is R.B. Villard.

He's the patron responsible
for all of this

and the man
who heard the future

long before any of us.

He'll be observing today.

- How do you do?

[tones continue]

[tones lighten]

[calm tones continue,
birds chirp]

[alarms blare,
Napoleon screams]

- What's going on?
What's going on?

[shouting
and squealing continue]

[sharp tones fade]

[device beeping slowly]

- There was a gas leak
on the floor above us,

but it wasn't what
they thought, thank God.

- A false alarm?
- Yes.

And we will increase
your intake of the supplement

to mitigate any issues.

- Where's Napoleon?

- He's safe.

He's recovering
in a holding cell downstairs.

- Can I see him?

- We think that
might not be a good idea.

- "We"?

- It might be best, for now,

for us to put a hold on
any further experiments.

- Well, for how long?

- Let's just see how it goes.

[dark, stuttering tones]

- Napoleon never
was the same after that,

and as time went on,
it got worse.

The fear was eroding everything.

It got to the point
where he couldn't sleep,

which meant
that I didn't sleep.

I need to see him.

I still feel him all the time.

- You're still taking
the supplement?

- Yes.

[screams into pillow]

He's broken.

He needs me.

And I need him.

- Go home, Dr. Chambers.

Thank you for your help.

Try to get some rest.

- The fear was always there,
and I couldn't make it stop.

[tones continue]

We couldn't make it stop.

I was losing my grip on sanity,

and that's when I decided
to do the hard thing.

The painful separation
between this life and the next.

Freedom from this form.

He knew I was coming,
but he was calm.

[foreboding music]

He welcomed it.

Hey, Napoleon.

[calm tones]

Don't be afraid.

[calm and dark tones overlap]

You're the best thing
that could have happened to me.

I'm so sorry.
[sobs softly]

[Napoleon grunts]

I had doubts, but he was sure.

He stared me right in the eyes

and bowed his head,
as if to say, "It's okay."

[sniffles]

[grunts]

I killed him
with the first blow.

[sobs softly]

I got a glimpse of death.
Void.

Nothing forever and ever,

but it was gone in an instant.

Then it got quiet.

The most quiet
it had been in days.

[silence]

[sighs]

But then it happened.

I heard him again.

[stuttering,
dark tones building]

[distorted breathing]

[echoing] No.

No!

[bellowing] No!

[blow lands]

- Hello, Warren.
How are you feeling?

- I'm okay.

- Quite a blow you took.

- Yeah. Pretty stupid.

- Now, now.

We're just gonna
make you better.

Nothing permanent.

- Where's Oskar? Is he around?

- Dr. Totem is not available
at the moment.

Now, we have deactivated
your implant,

so you won't be able to use
that going forward, okay?

- Tell Oskar--Dr. Totem--
that I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I failed him.

- But you didn't fail him.

- After all I went through,
all I did...

- The tech worked, Warren.

It worked perfectly.

We're advancing to human trials
thanks to you.

- Here, take this.
Press it if you need anything.

- I was allowed to stay
in town after that,

but I just worked
at the movie theater.

I knew how to thread
a projector. [chuckles]

That's that.

- What is it that
you think you heard

after Napoleon was killed?

- My calling.

My road to Damascus.

It took me years to process it,
but I found my way.

- Right.

that it was all
just a psychosomatic response

to an extreme situation?

- Sure.

- Okay.

I just want to be clear
about something,

because
it's a really important point.

So you said R.B. Villard,

who is financially responsible
for Limetown--

he was there, in Limetown,
during it operation?

- Yes, ma'am.

- That is an incredible piece
of information, Dr. Chambers.

- Why is that?

- Because his story has always
been that he was never there.

- Well, I bet a lot of people

who were there wish
that was their story.

- What happened to the tech?

- Human trials.

- Right, but did that work?

- Seems like it.

- You know anything
else about that?

- No.

Just that it led to that awful
night, and I knew exactly why.

- What do you mean?

- Have you been listening?

- Um...

I spoke to someone
who mentioned a man

with a unique natural ability.

"The Man That They
Were All There For"?

- I won't speak to that.

- Warren, what happened
to everybody?

Where did they go?

- I won't speak to that either.

- Why not?

- I'm afraid.

- Of what?
- Lia, hear me.

To love anything worldly
makes you weak,

and I do.

I love people
who are alive and happy.

Nothing gives me greater joy

than those two qualities...

because the greatest shame
in my life

is that I'm not strong enough
to fear only my God.

- Who are you afraid of?
- Lia.

- If you let them hide,
if you do not expose them--

- I--I'm sorry. I really am.

[in interview recording]
You're not there yet.

[in sermon recording]
Identified in the dark, it--

You're not there yet.

[in sermon recording]
Strip it of all its mythology,

all its baggage,

all of its noise

and see it for what it
really is: a doorway.

- Why won't you help me?

Then the Reverend stood up,

grabbed either side of my face,
and kissed my forehead.

He wiped the tears
from my cheek

that I didn't realize
were mine.

He didn't speak another word,
but he didn't need to.

He held my hand and walked me
back to my rental car,

making sure I found my way
in the dark.

I watched the night absorb
his silhouette as I drove away.

I pulled into a small
gas station

a few miles down the road

and I cried.

[gospel choir playing]

I can't explain why.

[choir singing continues]

Three days later,

Reverend Warren Chambers
was struck

and killed
by a drunk driver

while walking home
from the drugstore in town.

- He wasn't afraid of the end.

Amen?
congregation: Amen.

- He welcomed it
with open arms,

just as we all should.

- He was 78 years old.

- ...and helping all of you
cross over

when it's your time to go.

- And in my opinion,

murdered in cold blood
after he spoke his truth.

- Lia?
- What?

- Stick to the script.

Pick up on
"he was 78 years old."

We're still rolling.

[sighs]

- He was 78 years old,

and there is
no foul play suspected,

as the driver was also killed
in the accident.

[choral music continues]

It is irresponsible for me
to speak any further

on the nature of this event,

but I do find the timing
troubling and consistent

with the looming threat
that's hanging over the story.

- Lia.

- Which part of that
isn't true?

Warren Chambers
was warm and kind,

and he helped us to learn more.

[uneasy, trembling tone]

- Were you ever in Limetown
while it was operating

as a research campus?

- Wait for it.
- I was not.

- Villard has not spoken
to anyone in over a decade.

As of 20 minute ago, I have
an address and a time to meet,

and he's either
directly responsible

or knows who is responsible
for what happened in the past

and whatever is happening
right now.

Hello?

- There's something
I gotta tell you.

Receptionist said she was
waiting here all morning.

She's in the conference room.

- Who is it, Mark?

Mom.
