Kevin!

Dana?

Dana?

What the fuck? D-Dana?

What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck was that?

Dana? What the fuck was that?

Dana. Dana!

Dana! Hey!

Hey, hey, Dana, it's me.

It's me. It's me!

-It's Kevin. Dana. It's me. Dana, it's me. -Get out of my way!

It's me.

Dana, this-- I don't even know.

This-- This is terrifying.

How did all this happen to you just now?

How long was I gone?

Like, less than a minute. Not even. Seconds.

If felt like I was gone for an hour,

at least. I--

The first time I think this happened, it was only a few minutes.

And then the next time, it was a little bit longer.

It's getting worse, Kevin. I have to do something.

Do what? Should we be trying to get out of here?

What if it's this house?

Dana?

I need new clothes.

If it happens again, I can't be in a fucking bathrobe.

Are you sure you don't wanna call your aunt?

She already thinks I'm crazy.

She's the only one who can tell you about your mother or any of this.

Who the fuck is that?

I don't know, but I think you need to get that.

Look at me.

I'm coming.

Hello again. I'm sorry to bother you, but have you seen a…

-cat? -A cat?

No, sorry.

Well, do you think maybe your friend has seen her?

Dana?

I--

I don't know.

Would you mind if I asked her myself?

Uh, you know, Dana's actually asleep.

-Asleep? -We both were.

It's actually been a really long day of moving here.

I really need to get back to bed.

-Yes? -Nisey?

What do you need?

Can I ask you a question? It's about my mother.

What about her?

You said you live in the area?

-Around the corner on Coronado. -Okay. Yeah, I've never seen you before.

Do you know everyone around here?

How do you two know each other?

We went to college together.

When you said she wasn't well, what did you mean by that?

Okay.

Why are you asking me this?

What did you mean by that? What exactly was wrong with her?

W-- Are you worried about something?

Please. Answer me.

Your mother, she could be depressive.

She had fits of mania,

and near the end of her life, she claimed to see things

that weren't there.

See things that weren't--

See what things?

Dana, I don't like these questions. Where are you getting all this from?

What happened when they died? When my mother and father died?

Who was driving? Was she driving?

-Yes. -Was her body ever recovered?

Uh…

No.

Do you think Dana would mind if I checked the backyard?

The former occupant had a tendency to feed Princess behind our backs.

Sure. Have a good night.

Dana?

Dana.

It was assumed she tried to swim away from the vehicle.

Dana.

Dana?

Dana!

Okay, who is that?

-I gotta go. I'll call you tomorrow. Bye. -Dana?

Hell--

Dana?

-In here. -Dana! Oh, my God.

-What are you doing? -I just got off the phone with my aunt.

My mother's body was never found.

Which means she's still alive.

-What? -My parents. My parents.

She died, or they died, in a car crash.

No one ever knew what happened,

but now I'm realizing, she must've been driving.

She must've got pulled back in time, and lost control of the car or--

I don't know.

Who was that at the door?

Um, your neighbor again with some bullshit about a cat.

The fucking cat.

-You saw her cat? -Yeah, earlier.

The cat, it came to the back door and I picked it up.

I held it and that's when I got pulled back.

And he left my arms. He's still there.

You find her?

No, but something very bad is going on next door.

-What? -That guy answered the door again,

and this time, he was covered in blood.

I mean, he wasn't covered in blood, but there was blood on his neck.

Then I asked where she was. He told me that she was asleep.

And so then, I asked him about Princess Di and he told me that he hadn't seen her.

And then, I overheard them talking.

-And she wasn't asleep. -Wait, slow down. You overheard them--

Carlo, please, stop interrupting me. I'm trying to finish telling you.

I overheard them talking.

She was not asleep.

And then,

I heard her mention something about a cat.

-What'd she say? -Here it is. I don't know.

So what do you wanna do?

I wanna know if anyone else has seen anything.

But what if it is the house, Dana?

And I'm not saying that I'm someone who believes in things like that,

but I'm just getting freaked out.

It's not the house, Kevin.

It's me. Me. It's gonna happen no matter where I am.

My mother, she was driving and she--

I know what you think is happening. You can go.

But I have to stay. I have to go back. What's happening?

-I can't leave you alone like this. -What was that on your phone?

And the people next door, they know my name, they know where I live.

Dana, please. If something happens to you, I'm in trouble.

-Please, Dana. Please come with me. -What? Kevin--

If something happens, it happens.

But we gotta get out of this house.

Please, we gotta get off this block.

What's it? What's happening?

It's happening again, Kevin.

It's happening.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Dana!

Help!

Help! Help!

Let me go. This is it.

Rufus? I'm coming!

Kevin!

-What's your name? -Nigel.

Nigel, you need to run and go get help.

I wasn't supposed to let him climb no trees.

They gonna kill me if he's dead.

This man, he's gonna go with you. Okay?

He's gonna tell them it wasn't your fault. But you have to go right now.

This is it! This is him. We have to save him.

What am I supposed to say?

Just tell them that we're travelers, and we came upon them.

Travelers.

Travelers who came upon them.

Hey, Rufus. Hey, Rufus.

Hey, stay awake. Stay awake. Stay with me.

Hey!

Where's Marse Rufus?

Marse Rufe fell out of this tree, sir.

And his legs were all sideways. And he wouldn't get up.

Then this woman dressed like a man came out of the woods.

And this gentleman here, sir.

And they said for me to come and get help.

Go on and call on Dr. West. Quickly.

Forgive me, sir, but I must ask who you are.

We are travelers. We came upon them, traveling.

Wait here. I'll bring my wagon.

That's it, Rufus. Stay awake. Hey, stay with me. Stay with me.

You're gonna be okay.

-He alive? -Yeah.

Here, I got it.

How did you know how to make a splint?

TV.

-I'm freaking out. -Don't.

Stay calm. Pretend it's like a game. Can you do that?

Yes.

It's okay. You're gonna be okay.

-I'm right here. I'm right here with you. -Cold.

Now, if I lose even one blossom to this frost before my party,

it will be the end of all three of you!

-These've came all the way from France! -Yes, miss.

Who is that?

No! My baby!

-No! My Rufus! -Paul!

-Help me bring Marse Rufus out. -Rufus!

-Get-- Open this! -His leg is broke.

What happened to my baby, Luke?

It's okay, baby. Mama is here.

Won't you shut up with all that noise! What's wrong with you?

Young Marse Rufus fell out a tree, broke his leg.

-Where's Nigel? -Just open your eyes.

I called him away to carry some wood

-in preparation for this storm. -Can you hear me?

Marse Rufus was alone. It was my mistake.

You bet it is.

But I sent him to summon Dr. West…

-Don't! -…before the roads get too rough.

-No, it's okay. -Dr. West?

Talk to me. Can you talk to me?

Carry this demon up to his bedroom and out of my sight.

Yes, sir.

-No, careful. -Cannot believe this!

Careful. I'll grab his head. Okay.

-Careful with his head. -All right.

Quick! Get him!

Now-- Careful! Careful! You beasts.

-Shut up, Margaret. -Watch his head.

How do we go back?

-It's okay, baby. -I don't know.

Who are you?

We're travelers.

We were traveling when we found him in the woods. Passing through.

What is the costume?

We were robbed.

Thomas.

Charles, I am so sorry.

-Forgive this confusion-- -No, no, no. Forgive me for intruding.

Clearly, you have a family emergency that needs tending to.

Allow me to take my leave.

Charles, no, you must stay.

We were just getting down to business, and Sarah has prepared us a feast.

Tom, your son needs attention.

At least come back for our party tomorrow.

We'll see.

Goddamn it.

Damn it!

Won't you come on inside and get warm? It's the least I can do.

-Sabina? -Yes, sir?

Get this man warm clothes and a pair of decent shoes.

-Yes, sir. -You.

Take her to the cookhouse. Bring him something warm to eat.

You can come with me, sir.

Luke!

What the fuck? What are we doing?

Just play along. We have to act like it's real until we get to my mom.

I just need to find someone to tell me how to get to her.

Just go inside. I'll catch up with you in a minute.

What if he starts asking me questions? What do I say?

Just make something up. It doesn't matter.

We can do this.

Sir, you ready?

I'm Dana, by the way.

What's your name?

Do you know Olivia? Do you know where she lives?

You gonna have to wait.

I'm serving, and I still got to finish Master Tom's whole supper.

-In fact, go check on that pot. -I'm actually looking for Olivia.

Go on. Take a seat.

No, I can-- I can take it from here.

See?

Never call a doctor without consulting me first.

And especially not this godforsaken crook, Dr. West. Christ!

I mean, how do you expect me to pay for all this?

He has been amenable to bartering in the past.

His services are not worth a dead mule's nuts.

Where was the man who tends to my horses when they take ill?

Well, then, I suggest you go figure out what that trade is.

Or else, you'll be working that debt off on Sundays.

-Has my dresser failed in her assistance? -No.

I-- I'm just used to undressing myself.

Sabina, you are dismissed.

Yes, Master Tom.

This will help warm you up.

Thank you.

Please.

So, tell me more about this robbery that took place.

There were three of them, and they circled us.

One of them had a gun, and the other two had…

-Knives? -Ye-- Yes.

And the one with the gun, he was big.

And he came up on us and pointed that gun in my face.

And said, "Hand over the…

bags."

So I did, and the horse.

And your shoes.

Yes, and my shoes. And my coat. It was very scary.

Yeah, that's unfortunate.

Where were you headed?

-South. -South?

My uncle recently passed away.

-Mmm. Sorry to hear that. -Thank you.

-Me and Dana, we were on our way to, um… -Dana?

That's your slave's name?

-Mr. Franklin. -Yes?

The way she talks is quite strange.

From whence was she procured?

North. In New York.

New York?

Is that how all the niggers talk in New York?

Yeah, I don't know.

That's how she talks.

And she's the only slave I've ever had, so…

I see. So, you are new to the arrangement then?

Yeah, relatively. Do you happen to know where she is? Dana.

Well, I'm sure she'll be around soon enough.

Now, I don't mean to pry into your affairs, Mr. Franklin.

But as someone with experience in the matter, my advice would be,

unless the amusements that girl provides are singular,

you might do best to trade her in for a more docile variety.

She's probably what got you robbed in the first place.

Look, a slave like that is wont to prioritize their own safety

-over that of their master. -I w-- I have to use the bathroom.

-You wish to take a bath? -No.

I need to relieve, um, myself.

I understand, of course. Our privy is out that way.

Thank you.

Take your overcoat.

Yeah. Yes. Yes.

That's not for you. Get.

Psst.

It is you, isn't it? I wasn't sure at first.

-Is that you-know-who? -Who?

The devil. The man you came with.

No. He's just a man. A f-- He's a friend.

I need to get to Olivia. Immediately.

I don't think that's gonna happen tonight,

trying to get there and back without getting stuck.

I can't risk losing an animal in this cold.

But it's important.

Something happened between y'all and the patroller.

The man ain't been seen ever since. And Olivia won't say.

How long has it been since we last saw each other?

Must be about three, four months now. Why?

Dana?

Uh, can I have a word?

Excuse me.

Kevin, what's going on?

They think-- They think you're my slave.

Yeah, that's not surprising.

What are we gonna do?

Just keep a low profile.

With the weather, there's no way we're gonna get to my mom, so…

Dana, we cannot stay here. We have to go back.

I know, but I don't have control over it.

I don't even know if there's a way to have control over it.

And every time I come here, I stay a little bit longer.

So, it's just something we have to figure out.

Just stay close to me. Tell them that we can't be separated.

And then we can go.

Marse Franklin, your presence is requested in the house.

Here he is.

Mr. Franklin, meet Dr. West.

Dr. West.

Uh, it is a pleasure.

I was informed there was an able-bodied man in the vicinity.

And I thought it was just our luck because,

between the young boy and his mother, this is gonna be a three-man job.

Margaret is gonna be a handful.

Though, in her defense, it is never pleasant, in my experience,

for a mother to see her child bled.

Bled?

Yes. We do not know how long the child has been out in the elements.

We must bleed young Rufus to rid the blood of any fever he incurred as a result--

I don't think that's necessary.

I mean, he wasn't out there for very long.

And who are you to tell me what is necessary or not necessary, negress?

Uh, um…

My s-servant is actually the one

who found him and healed him. Uh…

She is actually very skilled in healing.

She did prepare a sort of splint for his leg.

One of these so-called root women, I presume.

Well, I assure you, wench,

medicine is a far more sophisticated art

than your primitive mind will ever comprehend.

Mr. Franklin, do me the generosity of keeping your slave quiet.

It's bad enough that she has the gall to look me in the eye.

-Now, you will remove Mrs. Weylin. -Mm-hmm.

You must block the door.

Luke and I will set about resetting the leg.

-Would you like to wash your hands, sir? -No, no, no. No time.

Grab her.

-Don't! Stop! -Margaret!

-Margaret, stay out of the way! -No! No, you--

Dana! Dana!

Get her over there so he'll shut up!

No! No! No!

-Stop! No! -Margaret!

-Calm her down! -You're okay. You're okay. It's okay.

Hold him down!

-Stop it now! Stop it! Stop it! -Get off of me, please!

-My baby! My baby! No! -I'm trying to get her!

I'm gonna kill her.

Damn, Weylin, I am sorry, but please hold her down.

-Hold her down! -Hold her there!

Hold her down!

-What are they gonna do? -Help! Please!

-Murder! Murder! -Hold still now!

Murder!

-It's okay. Look at me. Look at me. -Mommy! Mommy!

Help me!

Mommy!

Swallow, Mrs. Weylin.

Mommy!

Swallow.

The longer you squirm, the longer it's gonna take.

Here, Rufus. Hold my hand. Hard as you can.

Okay, that's it. That's it. Hold his arm.

Now, you, over there, come here.

Hold him. Hold him still.

You have a lovely home.

There's supposed to be a party.

Oh, tonight?

No, tomorrow.

It's ruined.

A Christmas feast.

Rufus and I were to do a little dance together. A minuet.

It's Christmas Eve?

Almost. I know it's silly.

Who celebrates Christmas?

But I thought it would be worth doing something cheerful around here.

The minister will be so disappointed.

Oh. He's fainted.

Good.

Go on.

I understand, Septimus,

but I simply don't have access to any funds.

I was told the boy had explained that when he called on you.

Well, he absolutely did not.

And I must point out that this weather has made this a truly dangerous call.

I ought to charge you double.

Then perhaps you are amenable to exchange, hmm?

Well, I know you are a man of science.

And I have a slave with the most peculiar ailment of the foot,

which might be a benefit to your studies.

Say more.

Come.

Dana. Is it over?

Yeah.

It's over.

How do you know my name?

I heard him calling you that.

Who?

That man you came with.

Is he here?

He is.

I saw him dragging you through that empty room.

Dragging you to the door.

You were screaming.

Is he your master?

No. He's a friend.

-Was he hurting you? -No.

-Oh. -When did you see this, Rufus? How?

In my head. As I was falling.

Are you gonna leave me again?

No. No.

Now, now, Sabina. You won't be going very far. Only to town.

And Dr. West here will make sure you are able to come visit whenever is convenient.

Isn't that right, Doctor?

That's right.

All right, now hurry along before the roads become impassable.

So long, Weylin.

Oh.

Sorry, I hope you don't mind.

No.

You seem quite proficient.

Thank you.

That piano hasn't been touched in over a decade.

Are you a musician?

Um, yeah-- Yes, that's right. I'm a traveling musician.

Hmm. And your instruments?

Bandits.

Well… I wanna thank you for your assistance earlier.

I know that wasn't a pleasant scene, and I appreciate your… discretion.

Please, join me for supper.

You can read?

Yes, I can.

Where you come from, it's fine?

It is.

If Daddy catches a servant looking in a book,

even if they're just looking at the pictures,

they get be treated the same as if you had stolen something.

Well, your daddy doesn't tell me what to do.

Will you read to me?

Yeah.

"The author of these travels, Mr. Lemuel Gulliver, is my ancient friend.

There is likewise some relation between us by the mother's side"--

What is this?

I asked her to read to me, Mama.

Where she come from, it's allowed.

Are you comfortable? Does your leg hurt?

I feel all right, Mama.

Well, go on.

Uh…

"About three years ago, Mr. Gulliver,

growing weary of the concourse of curious people coming to him"--

Baby, you hot? You want me to get Carrie up here to fan you?

I'm all right, Mama.

Are you hungry, baby? 'Cause Aunt Sarah just made a cake.

Wouldn't you like a piece?

I don't want no cake, Mama.

Are you sure? You ought to see the fine, white icing she put on it.

I wanna hear Dana read. That's all.

Well, why don't you go on? You're supposed to read, so read.

"Yet I have heard him say his family came from Oxfordshire"--

I don't know why you like listening to her.

She's got a voice like a fly buzzing.

I can't hear her with you talking.

-Well, all I said, baby-- -Don't say nothing, Mama.

Go away and stop bothering me.

-Rufus. -Go!

How you can treat me this way?

Just 'cause of some nigger.

I get so tired of her sometimes.

Don't worry about it.

She'll be back after a while to get me a piece of cake with fine, white icing.

Read, Dana.

"Before he quitted Redriff,

he left the custody of the following papers"…

Is-- Is Dana--

Yeah, she's upstairs with the boy.

He seems to be quite taken with her.

Yeah, she is good with children.

Let's make sure she's taken care of.

Bring Mr. Franklin's servant a warm bowl of whatever mush it is Sarah's serving.

I'll say, by my measure,

you're already better company than the man this meal was meant for.

Was that the gentleman from earlier?

Charles Broadus.

What a pain in my ass.

Yeah.

Now, he just happens to own the 100-and-some acres

one lot over from here.

He's moving back to England,

and I need him to sell to me before he goes,

or else I'm gonna have issues with some of my neighbors.

But this rogue is an absolute enigma.

And I can't seem to relate with such an effeminate peahen of a man.

You a family man, Mr. Franklin, hmm?

Perhaps a wife awaits you somewhere?

No. No, not yet.

At your age?

Well, yeah, there--

There was someone, but she, uh, died.

Yes.

I'm familiar with that special breed of hurt.

My first wife, Hannah, she suffered from Boulogne fever,

which swept through here some 15 years ago.

It also took her father, some of my servants.

That was very nasty.

Yeah, there's not a day that passes where she doesn't come to mind.

She was a very talented musician like yourself.

That was her piano you were playing earlier.

Her music too.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Nah, don't be.

Now, see here,

I am horrified at the treatment you received at the hands of those bandits.

It's one thing to be fleeced of one's belongings,

but to be robbed of one's livelihood?

That's another thing altogether.

Why don't you stay here with us, hmm? For another day or two.

I will inquire as to whether or not these thieves might be tracked down

and your things recovered.

I can't imagine they've gotten far with such a haul.

In the meantime, consider yourself a guest in my home.

Thank you.

"We found ourselves in the latitude of 30 degrees, two minutes south.

Twelve of our crew were dead by moderate labor and ill food.

The rest were in a very weak condition."

Who wants cake?

You are dismissed.

So he's somehow what's bringing you here.

Somehow he can see me before I come back here.

He saw you in the kitchen. You and me. And…

I can-- I can kinda see him too. Like, I can feel him.

I can feel what's happening to him.

So what's the plan here? I mean…

It's been hours, Dana. We've been here for hours.

Are we really supposed to stay here?

I don't know what else to do. I can't control it.

There's gotta be some sort of solution.

If anyone has it, it's my mother.

She's the only person that would know, and I…

We just have to stick it out until we can get to her.

How have you been holding up here?

I-- I couldn't even tell you.

I had some luck playing piano earlier. That passed the time.

That was you?

Yeah.

It's how I used to distract myself as a kid.

Aren't you hungry?

I'm exhausted.

It is 6:00 a.m. for us.

Good evening, Mr. Franklin.

Good evening.

I just wanted to come and personally apologize for my behavior earlier

and thank you for the care you took, for me as well as my son.

You can imagine how difficult it must be to see your child in danger.

It was no problem.

Are you ready to retire?

I'd be happy to escort you to your lodgings.

Uh…

Oh, I'd rather stay here. Thank you.

I believe it's what my master wants.

That's right.

I can sleep on the floor.

I understand, Mr. Franklin,

but unfortunately we really must insist on slaves sleeping in their own quarters.

But don't worry. We have very fine accommodations waiting for her.

I really must insist.

If you require her for anything,

simply ring the bell at your bedside and she should be able to comply.

The room in which she sleeps is merely the one above this one.

Stay up. I'll come back as soon as I can.

I assure you she'll be most comfortable.
