00:01Elgin sits alone in the dark kitchen at Colony House.
00:03He is hunched over with his bandaged hand resting on the table.
00:07Fatima strolls in and stops when she sees him.
00:09Sorry.
00:10Most okay.
00:12I'll get up your way.
00:13No.
00:14You don't, you don't, you don't need to go.
00:17I just came to get a glass of water.
00:19Fatima goes to the sink.
00:21Elgin watches her with a blood-stained gauze patch covering his left eye.
00:25What's that if people find out what happened?
00:27I know.
00:28We should probably get our story straight.
00:31Fatima looks down, keeping her back to Elgin.
00:33The young man watches her with a raised eyebrow.
00:40She turns around.
00:42Are you okay?
00:44He shakes his head.
00:46I'm not really sure I deserve to be.
00:52Fatima puts her water on the table and sits down with Elgin.
00:56Elgin, I don't want to hate you.
01:00This place took advantage of both of us.
01:05None of us would be the same again.
01:08Will we?
01:10No.
01:11We won't.
01:14Fatima looks down and furrows her brow.
01:17There's something I need your help with.
01:24At the station, Boyd sleeps on his back in the twin-sized bed.
01:27He lies atop the covers, his skin glistening with sweat.
01:32Townsfolk run down the street.
01:34Ellis watches wide-eyed.
01:35Abby, stop!
01:37Abby aims.
01:38Boyd shoots her.
01:40Boyd jerks awake.
01:41He blinks, then sits up.
01:44Oh, God.
01:50He drops his head into his hand.
01:55Boyd opens the locked room where Acosta sits on a cot, with her knees up.
01:59You gonna tell me what the hell that was yesterday?
02:03Not really.
02:05You're gonna have to do a little better than that.
02:08What do you want me to say?
02:10I want you to tell me that you're not gonna lose your shit again and put people's lives in danger.
02:16You got lucky yesterday, you understand that?
02:19If Chrissy had gotten hurt, you and me, are having a different conversation right now.
02:24Whoever that was yesterday, that wasn't me, all right?
02:28I don't want to be here.
02:29Well, good. We're working on that.
02:31She shakes her head and bites her lower lip.
02:36You know, Chrissy told me yesterday that she's seen dozens of people with dozens of schemes about how to leave
02:40this place.
02:43There's only one thing that they have in common. You know what it is?
02:47They all died.
02:51Yeah.
02:54Well...
02:56This time feels different.
02:58Yeah, it's probably what they thought.
03:01Can you give me a bullet?
03:04I only need one.
03:07I'll go into the woods and look. Don't worry, you won't even have to clean it up.
03:12Alright.
03:13Her eyebrows raise as she peers at him with pleading eyes.
03:18A cloth is pulled up over the minister's face.
03:21Christy and Mariel wrap him while Sophia watches.
03:25Kenny enters with a couple helpers.
03:30Sophia,
03:32I brought you some things from your dad's car.
03:37We're gonna take him down to the service now.
03:41Can I have a minute to say goodbye?
03:44Yeah, of course.
03:45We'll be right outside when you're ready, okay?
03:47Okay.
03:52Mariel gives Sophia a gentle pat on her shoulder as she passes her.
03:56Christy limps out on her crutch.
04:03Alone, Sophia turns to the minister's corpse.
04:06She runs her hand up his covered body, making her way to the head.
04:15She smirks as she pulls the covering back, revealing his face.
04:21You were fun.
04:24She brings her face close to his.
04:27I couldn't let you go without something to remember you by.
04:34She reaches her hand into his mouth and starts to wiggle it around.
04:40The grin on her face grows more intense.
04:48She pulls back, smiling wide, and looks down at the bloody tooth in her hand.
04:55With his notes and drawings hanging on the wall in front of him, Jade sits cross-legged on top of
05:00the desk.
05:00His eyes are closed and his breath is calm.
05:06Jade gets off the desk and starts pacing.
05:10Jade.
05:10What?
05:11Tell me you got something.
05:12Oh, does it fucking look like I have something?
05:15I...
05:16Oh.
05:17Okay.
05:17Jade points to his head.
05:19It's all...
05:20It's in here.
05:20It's in here.
05:21I know it is.
05:23There's more to this.
05:23There's more to what we need to know, and I just...
05:25I can't...
05:26Well, fuck it.
05:28You don't have any acid, do you?
05:30What?
05:31LSD.
05:33Well, listen.
05:34Henry said Miranda started seeing this place after an acid trip they took.
05:38Which kind of makes sense, given, you know, how the brain stores memory.
05:42If it worked for her, it stands to reason it could work for me.
05:44Okay, uh, uh, take a breath.
05:46Take a breath.
05:47If you're right, and everything we need is in your brain, and the last thing we need is
05:51for you to scramble it, just take a little time, get back to this after the funeral.
05:57Oh, yeah.
05:58I'm not going to the funeral.
05:59He shakes his head at Boyd.
06:01Trust me, I won't be missed.
06:04Look, the best thing I can do for Tabitha, for everybody here, is just find a way to unlock
06:11whatever's locked in here.
06:13How are you going to do that?
06:15Jade tosses his hands up.
06:16I don't know.
06:18Hey, Jade.
06:21Be careful.
06:22The message on the barn wall wasn't fucking around.
06:25Whatever answers you may find, we have no idea what they're going to cost.
06:30Jade turns and heads out the door.
06:37Townsfolk stand in the cemetery surrounding two graves.
06:39Tabitha approaches, holding Ethan's hand, with Julie behind them.
06:43Ethan fidgets in an oversized blazer.
06:46Are you okay?
06:47She doesn't fit.
06:51Honey, I'm sorry.
06:52It was the only thing I could find this shit.
06:56You don't have to worry if you don't want to.
06:58Yes, I do.
06:59At Grandpa's funeral, Dad said a man wears a suit to show his respect.
07:04Tabitha gives a little smile.
07:06I'm very handsome.
07:10Let's go.
07:12She takes his hand again, and they continue toward the graves.
07:18They stop at the edge of one.
07:19Fatima puts a hand on Julie's back as she looks down on the shrouded body lying below.
07:24Sophia eyes her with a creased brow from beside the other grave.
07:27Donna stands next to Void.
07:30Days like today.
07:34They're not easy.
07:36I'm not going to stand here and try to tell you that...
07:40A crow lands on the edge of a grave.
07:46The townsfolk look up to see a sky full of crows circling above.
07:58Some fly down closer while others perch on a nearby roof.
08:02Void?
08:03Void holds up his hand, staring up at the black birds.
08:06Sophia watches with interest.
08:10Tabitha sits with Ethan and Julie at the diner.
08:13Sophia sits alone at a table, eyeing them.
08:17Wait, wait.
08:19I'm not hungry.
08:21Victor enters and gazes around.
08:26He steps toward the family and stands at their table, looking at Tabitha.
08:35Hello.
08:36Hi, Victor.
08:37With a somber expression, he pulls a piece of paper from his pocket.
08:41Oh, I...
08:43When I was a boy, I drew pictures.
08:46So that the pictures will remember.
08:50This is for you.
08:53He lays a crayon drawing on the table.
08:55Ethan picks it up and looks at it, then lays it back down.
08:58Tabitha picks it up.
08:59The childlike illustration depicts Jim and Tabitha with Julie and Ethan and their RV in the background.
09:06That's very sweet, Victor. Thank you so much.
09:09Tears run down her cheeks, and Tabitha turns her face toward the window.
09:15Ethan looks at Victor, then turns to his mother.
09:17Can I go to the colony house with Victor?
09:20No, not today.
09:22Peace.
09:22I don't want to be here.
09:25Tabitha lowers her gaze, then turns to Victor.
09:29Is that okay with you?
09:30Yeah.
09:32She nods and gives Ethan a hint of a smile.
09:35Be safe, okay?
09:39I'll make sure that nothing happens to her in my room.
09:44Okay.
09:46Ethan and Victor leave.
09:48Kenny sits down at Sophia's table with a mug.
09:50Here, you drink this, and, uh, Bart is just whipping you up something to eat.
09:57Has anything like that ever happened before?
10:00With the, uh, the crows?
10:03No.
10:05I mean, everybody sees them when they see the trees, but that's, uh, that's, that's new.
10:10When did it get like this?
10:12What do you mean?
10:14Well, Sarah, the girl who helped me with my glasses, she, she said that after Sheriff Boyd found the talismans,
10:21that for a long time people were safe.
10:23When did that change?
10:25It was, um, I guess it was, it was around the night that my dad died.
10:31We had lost his family the night before, the Prats.
10:34And then Jim and Tabitha, the Matthews family, they showed up with Jade.
10:39They came all together?
10:41Um, not in the same car, just they got here at the same time.
10:46And ever since then, things have been bad?
10:49Kenny furrows his brow.
10:51No, no, that's not what I mean.
10:52Hey, Kenny, you mind if I borrow him for a second?
10:56I'll come back.
10:58Kenny steps away with Boyd.
11:00Julie approaches Sophia.
11:03Hey.
11:04Uh, Sophia, right?
11:05Sophia nods.
11:07I'm Julie.
11:09I know.
11:10I just wanted to tell you I'm really sorry about what happened to your dad.
11:15Sophia looks downward.
11:16Boyd watches with Kenny from across the diner.
11:19How's she doing?
11:23Honestly, I don't, I don't really know.
11:26I mean, she prays a lot.
11:28Are you fucking kidding me?
11:29Julie leaps up.
11:30I didn't mean to upset you.
11:31I'm sorry.
11:32What the fuck did you mean to do that?
11:33Hey, Julie.
11:34No, she thinks it's our fault.
11:36Hey, okay, everybody, let's take a breath.
11:38Did you tell her that all the bad things started happening because we came here?
11:41No, no, that's, no, I didn't say, no, that's not what I meant.
11:45Let's go home.
11:46Oh, fuck this.
11:48This is not our home.
11:51Julie storms out and Tabitha follows after her.
11:55Julie.
11:57Julie, stop.
12:00Do you think it's here?
12:01What?
12:02That when we got here, that all of the bad things that have happened since we got here,
12:05do you think it's our fault?
12:06No, honey.
12:07Of course not.
12:10Why did it feel like those crows were celebrating?
12:12Sophia stands at the window watching Julie and Tabitha argue.
12:19She suppresses a smile as Kenny approaches.
12:23Sophia.
12:25I'm sorry, I didn't...
12:27It's okay.
12:28We need to talk.
12:30Okay?
12:31Okay.
12:32Poor Julie.
12:32Fatima walks with Ellis.
12:34Yeah.
12:36It seems like a lifetime ago that we made that little space for her in our room.
12:42Yeah.
12:45Hey.
12:46Ellis stops and turns to face Fatima.
12:49You know, you haven't really talked much about what happened.
12:56I'm trying to be okay.
12:58I am.
12:59I just...
13:00I'm trying to let go of this.
13:02I just don't know how.
13:04Ellis's eyes shift and a slight grin crosses his face.
13:08You know what?
13:08I have an idea.
13:10Stay right there.
13:10I gotta grab a few things.
13:12Where are you going?
13:13Stay right there.
13:13I'll be right back.
13:14He sprints toward Colony House, leaving Fatima alone.
13:18Elgin trudges toward the forest, holding an insulated cooler.
13:21He gazes at Fatima.
13:22She catches his eye and looks around, before subtly nodding at him.
13:26He continues.
13:30Victor enters his room with Ethan.
13:33Oh, look.
13:34Ethan, my dad is my roommate now.
13:36This is his bed right here.
13:40It's a good thing that I threw all my stuff out the window, because then it made all this space.
13:48It's nice having a roommate now, but too, because you have someone to talk to, you know, if you're afraid.
13:59And you can talk to me, you know, if you're ever afraid.
14:03Ethan stares at Victor, expressionless.
14:07Are there any lakes here?
14:08What?
14:10Lakes.
14:11Have you seen any lakes here?
14:13Uh, there's the...
14:16There's the Brundles.
14:17That's not very far from here.
14:19Can we go see it?
14:21What?
14:21No, I don't like it there.
14:24Water's creepy.
14:26Please.
14:28Why do you want to go see the Brundles?
14:30Never mind.
14:32I'll find it myself.
14:33No, but you're supposed to stay here with me, then...
14:36I don't care.
14:38Well, I do.
14:39I just need to see the lake.
14:41Why?
14:42Friends aren't supposed to keep secrets, Ethan.
14:46Fine.
14:47If you take me to the lake, I'll tell you.
14:50Oh.
14:51Victor tightens his jaw and looks away.
14:56Tabitha walks into her house.
15:03She stands by the door for a moment and then wanders into the next room, looking at the picture that
15:07Victor drew.
15:13She paces toward a credenza, folding up the picture as she goes.
15:16She yanks open the drawer.
15:19She tosses the picture inside and notices the drawing of the lighthouse.
15:24She picks it up and studies it.
15:26A flashback of Tabitha standing before the towering lighthouse plays.
15:29In the present, Tabitha bites her bottom lip as her eyes move.
15:37She sits down at the kitchen table with the lighthouse drawing.
15:41She thinks for a moment, then flips it over and starts to write on the back.
15:47Julie rummages through a tool shed, looping rope over her shoulder and testing flashlights to find one that works.
15:55She glances around as she steps out and is startled when she sees Randall behind the door.
16:00What are you doing out here?
16:02Saw you walk off alone.
16:03Thought you might be doing something stupid.
16:05Like going back to the ruins.
16:09Go away.
16:10She walks off and Randall follows.
16:12Julie.
16:13I'm not going to the ruins, okay?
16:16I need to get something from our house.
16:19Okay.
16:20Our old house.
16:22You want to collapse?
16:25No, no fucking way.
16:27I was inside that thing when it came down, remember?
16:29It's too unstable.
16:30Okay.
16:32No, look, look.
16:33All right, stop, stop, stop.
16:34He steps in front of her.
16:35What's in there that's so important?
16:38I told you that thing that I can do.
16:40My brother called it story walking.
16:42Yeah.
16:43I learned about it from one of his books and all his books under the house now.
16:46I need to know if there's anything in there about how to control it so I can go back and
16:49save my dad without getting killed.
16:51And maybe that is stupid, okay?
16:52But I'm not asking your permission.
16:54I'm going.
16:56So you can help me or you can leave me alone.
16:59Randall nods and glances over his shoulder.
17:02Then he turns back to Julie.
17:04Give me that.
17:07Julie hands him the rope and takes off.
17:09Randall follows.
17:13Boyd approaches the room serving as a makeshift jail and pauses at the door.
17:17He looks in through the glass at Acosta, then enters.
17:23Acosta looks up from the cot.
17:25You still want that bullet?
17:28There's something I need you to do for me first.
17:30Jade floats in the water, shirtless and eyes closed.
17:33Ethan and Victor stare.
17:34What's he doing?
17:35I think he's sleeping.
17:38Jade?
17:39Jade?
17:41What?
17:43Let's go.
17:44We just got here.
17:47It's not what I'm looking for.
17:48How do you know that?
17:50I just do.
17:53Ethan, you promised that if I brought you here, you would tell me.
18:00I need to find the lake of tears.
18:03It's a lake with magical powers.
18:05What kind of magical powers?
18:07It can make people better when they're hurt.
18:09I thought I made it up.
18:11But my dad told me it's here.
18:15I need to find it.
18:17When did he tell you that?
18:20Yesterday.
18:22I was by the RV.
18:24Maybe once I find it, it can make him better.
18:27Maybe he'll come back.
18:29Maybe Jade can help.
18:32Jade!
18:33Oh, for Christ's sake!
18:34What?
18:34We need to find the lake of tears.
18:37The lake of what?
18:39Randall trails Julie.
18:40It's a kid's book, though, right?
18:42It's stories made up for little kids.
18:45Before we got here, I thought monsters were made up, too.
18:49Fair point.
18:50They arrive at the old house.
18:52A flattened pile of rubble.
18:53Julie stops and stares at it, stoically.
18:57Good.
18:59Is this where I talked to my dad the day the house collapsed?
19:02Randall paces uncomfortably as Julie's eyes fill.
19:06He was still down there when the sun was setting.
19:11I was so scared that we were just going to lose him right then and there.
19:14A tear rolls down her cheek.
19:21He kept telling me everything was going to be okay.
19:25That I shouldn't be afraid.
19:27There you go.
19:30Why don't you let me do this?
19:32What?
19:33I can handle a couple of books.
19:36Besides, someone's going to need to be up here if something happens, right?
19:41No.
19:42No.
19:43I should be the...
19:44It's my thing.
19:44I should be the one...
19:45Story Walker.
19:47He touches her shoulder.
19:48We're going to let someone else do the cool shit for change.
19:50Huh?
19:52It's good for my self-esteem.
19:54He smirks and Julie cracks a smile.
19:56She turns away and pushes her hair back over her ears.
20:00There's a...
20:01There's a way in over here.
20:02She walks around the wreckage and Randall follows.
20:05Sophia sits in the church with Kenny standing over her.
20:08In this story, Achan caused the whole nation of Israel to suffer because he offended God.
20:13And that's what you told Julie?
20:14I just thought that maybe somehow they brought some sort of ill...
20:17Okay, stop.
20:18The people here...
20:21They're always one bad day away from giving up.
20:24Giving up.
20:26Losing hope.
20:27I know.
20:27It was...
20:28It was...
20:30I know.
20:34Look.
20:35Kenny sits down next to her.
20:38We need to figure out where you're going to live from now on.
20:41Where do you live?
20:44That, uh, that big house up on the hill, colony house.
20:48There's a plenty of room there.
20:50But there's...
20:51There's so many people there.
20:53Yeah.
20:54Can't I just stay at the clinic?
20:56Well, there's no extra rooms in the clinic, so...
21:01Where does Sarah live?
21:03What?
21:04She was really nice to me.
21:07That's not a good idea.
21:09Because of...
21:11Of what she did.
21:15How did you, um...
21:18I've...
21:18I've heard people talking.
21:22Why...
21:22Why would you...
21:23Why would you want to live with her?
21:24Because I've...
21:25Because I've seen her kindness.
21:27And...
21:27I don't...
21:28I don't think she's a bad person.
21:30Kenny sits back, looking upward.
21:33You have no idea the kind of person she is.
21:37Wow.
21:38Randall climbs down through broken boards and debris.
21:45I can't see you at all.
21:46Are you okay?
21:47He shines the flashlight.
21:49I'm fine.
21:50Just let my eyes adjust the soul.
21:54How many of these books am I looking for, anyway?
21:57He kept them all in a little blue bag.
21:59They should be together.
22:00Little blue bag, huh?
22:03Piece of cake.
22:04Randall steps forward slowly, gazing at shattered wooden beams all around him.
22:09Julie waits above, crouched down.
22:16It gets darker as Randall proceeds through the debris of the house's remains.
22:21He shines the light forward and then steps on a protruding board.
22:27A piece of lumber crashes down.
22:29Randall?
22:31I'm fine.
22:33Acosta stands in the basement of Colony House.
22:35Boyd joins her.
22:37What are we doing here?
22:39He glances around.
22:41We got storage sheds around town.
22:44Storage room in a diner.
22:46They're filled with clothes, tools, everything we thought would be useful.
22:51This is everything else.
22:55Okay.
22:56I want you to treat this place like a crime scene.
22:59Like these, these things, they tell a story.
23:03Right?
23:04I want you to develop a narrative.
23:06Tell me everything there is to know about the people this stuff belong to.
23:09Why?
23:12Because I asked you to.
23:14So why don't you do it?
23:15You're a cop.
23:16You were trained to do this.
23:18I wasn't.
23:20There might be things we overlooked.
23:22Something that'll help us get out of here.
23:25Tell me why we're really here.
23:26I just did.
23:27Bullshit.
23:28Hey.
23:29You better tell me why we're really here.
23:31They stand face to face.
23:34Acosta crosses her arms.
23:37Because you remind me of someone.
23:40Alright?
23:42You remind me of someone I could have helped and I didn't.
23:51I don't get to get that back.
23:54But I'm going to stand here and...
23:57Look, I know you think everything I said is bullshit.
24:00Maybe it is.
24:02Maybe it isn't.
24:03Alright?
24:04But if you do this for me, think about all the people you might be helping.
24:08The people you might be saving.
24:10You think about the cop who first put that badge on.
24:13You do all that and you still want that bullet.
24:16Then yeah, we'll talk.
24:19It's a promise.
24:21He heads past her toward the steps, leaving Acosta alone.
24:26Tabitha climbs to the second floor of Colony House and makes her way down the hall to Donna's
24:30closed bedroom door.
24:38Henry notices her from the hallway.
24:42Donna?
24:44Tabitha peeks into the room and looks around.
24:46She enters and pulls the drawing of the lighthouse from her pocket.
24:51She stands in front of a mirror looking at the paper.
24:58She lays it down on the vanity and then stares at her own reflection for a moment before leaving.
25:02The paper now has Donna written on it.
25:04Henry is still in the hallway as Tabitha comes out.
25:08I think she went back to town.
25:11Oh.
25:12You need something?
25:15Uh, no.
25:16I'm okay.
25:18Are you?
25:20Forty years I sat in my house after my family disappeared.
25:23I was a lot of things.
25:26Okay was never one of them.
25:29I should go home.
25:30Where are you headed?
25:32Um, just going home.
25:35Oh.
25:35Why don't I walk with you?
25:37Henry, no, it's okay.
25:38I can go by myself.
25:39But Tabitha, I don't think you should be alone right now.
25:42Henry and Tabitha walk outside.
25:45So, where are you really going?
25:48I'm going home.
25:49And where are you going after that?
25:52Henry, I don't know what you're talking about.
25:54Sure you do.
25:54You're good at a lot of things, Tabitha.
25:56Lying is definitely not among them.
25:58So, we can play the whole charade of me dropping you off at your house and then waiting to see
26:02where else you go.
26:03Okay, I'm going to find the lighthouse, okay?
26:05They stop, and Henry rears his head back, looking at her.
26:08I'm going to find my way back to the lighthouse.
26:11I got out of here once.
26:13If I find the lighthouse, I can, maybe, maybe, hopefully I can do it again and take my children with
26:17me.
26:19I'm not going to let them die here.
26:20How?
26:21Donna said no one knows where the lighthouse is.
26:23No, they don't.
26:23That's why I have to do it again, like I did last time.
26:25I have to go through the bottle tree.
26:27The man in the pool, Dale, right?
26:30He died when he tried going through.
26:32Yeah, but, okay, what if it was, what if it was not meant for him?
26:36What if it was only meant for me?
26:38What if you're wrong?
26:39What if you end up stuck in the side of God knows what somewhere within Logan?
26:42Well, I don't know.
26:43I don't know, Henry.
26:44I have to try.
26:45Okay.
26:47I'm coming with you.
26:48No, Henry.
26:49You said you're going to the bottle tree, right?
26:51I want to see it.
26:52I want to see the tree my wife died trying to reach.
26:59Henry, I have to tell you.
27:00She was my wife, please.
27:07Okay.
27:08Let's go.
27:09Okay.
27:09Yeah.
27:10They walk off together.
27:11Ellis holds a canvas bag over his shoulder as he leads Fatima through the woods.
27:16Where are we going?
27:17Just a little further.
27:21Why won't you tell me what's in the bag?
27:24You'll see.
27:25They come to a clearing where numerous wrecked vehicles in various states of decay have been
27:29dumped.
27:30Fatima gazes around at the junkers.
27:33Ever heard of a rage room?
27:35They're really popular in Japan.
27:38Sort of a way to lash out.
27:41You know, let go without hurting somebody or breaking shit that you need.
27:46He takes the bag from his shoulder and pulls out a baseball bat.
27:49Fatima raises her eyebrows.
27:52Ellis, this is really sweet, but I don't know how this is going to help.
27:55When my mom died, you were the one that brought me back.
28:01You didn't even know me very well, but you knew that I was still in there underneath all
28:07the dark, horrible shit that I was going through.
28:12And you never gave up on me, not until you finally pulled me out.
28:17It's my turn now.
28:19Give it a shot.
28:23So, not the crowbar, or the bat.
28:30He lays them both on the trunk of a faded yellow car.
28:38Fatima picks up the bat.
28:41Definitely the bat.
28:43It's my girl.
28:46Ellis grins as Fatima gets a good grip on the bat and steps toward a rusted blue vintage
28:51sedan with a white vinyl roof.
28:53She winds up and strikes the roof.
28:56A slight smile crosses her face.
28:59Ellis pats a car.
29:01All yours.
29:02Fatima skulks toward the rusty yellow sedan, her facial muscles pulled tight as her eyes
29:06scan it.
29:09She curls her lips and cocks the bat again.
29:15She starts on a two-seater convertible.
29:27Jade, Ethan, and Victor hike through the forest.
29:31Okay, so let me get this straight.
29:34You made up this Lake of Tears as part of a game that you used to play with finger puppets.
29:42It wasn't a game.
29:43It was a story.
29:45Okay, so you told a story about this lake, some finger puppets, and now...
29:50Now what?
29:51You think the lake is here because your dad told you that you need to find him?
29:56Maybe I didn't make it up.
29:59Maybe I just thought I did.
30:03I'm confused.
30:05Do you remember the red rocks we found at the settlement?
30:07Oh, yeah.
30:09My mom thought she made them up because she used to have nightmares about them.
30:12But the reason she saw those rocks was because they were here.
30:16Maybe it's the same with the lake.
30:20Maybe I used it in my story because it's real and I just didn't know.
30:26Something catches Victor's eye and he stops.
30:29What were you doing at the Brundles?
30:31It's an old meditation technique.
30:34Why were you meditating?
30:36Because I...
30:39I remember something.
30:40I remember something that I used to know.
30:44Something that'll help us leave.
30:46Victor stares down at the man in the yellow suit's blazer.
30:48So we're both looking for something that can help everyone.
30:52I guess we are.
30:53Victor stands in place, frozen.
30:55Hey, Victor, we got a lake to find.
30:58Jade walks back to Victor with Ethan following.
31:02Victor?
31:09What is that?
31:11A stream of urine rushes down Victor's jeans and onto the ground.
31:15Victor?
31:16Victor gasps and looks up.
31:19A crow lands on rocks in front of him.
31:22Victor?
31:23Victor!
31:24Victor takes off running.
31:26Victor!
31:27Victor!
31:29Randall shines his flashlight on the rubble.
31:31He moves aboard, revealing a rotting corpse.
31:35Jesus!
31:36Fuck!
31:37What?
31:39Nothing good.
31:40He covers his mouth with his arm.
31:42I love it.
31:44Just past the body lies a blue bag.
31:47I see the bag!
31:50More wood crashes down, and Randall leaps back.
31:54Kenny knocks on Sarah's door.
31:55Sophia stands on the walkway several feet back.
32:01Kenny!
32:03Is everything alright?
32:05Sophia and I have been talking about where she wants to live from now on.
32:09Sarah furrows her brow.
32:11Okay.
32:13And if it's alright, she would like to live here.
32:15With you.
32:20Sophia smiles, and Sarah's face softens.
32:22She nods and raises her eyebrows.
32:24Okay.
32:25Sure.
32:27Okay.
32:27Okay.
32:28Come on.
32:30Let's go.
32:30Sophia enters the house.
32:32Randall?
32:34Randall!
32:35What's going on?
32:37Give me a shot.
32:40Randall squeezes over the corpse, through a tight space.
32:44I got the bag!
32:45What are the titles?
32:48Yeah, uh...
32:49He pulls out two books.
32:51Grand Ghoulagog, the Kramanakul.
32:53Okay, that's them!
32:54Get out of there!
32:58He turns back and tosses the bag through the narrow opening.
33:04It's you and me, Pop.
33:05He crouches low, shining his flashlight.
33:08Oh, fuck.
33:09He maneuvers his body over the carcass.
33:15A mouse crawls from the dead man's mouth.
33:18Randall?
33:19Randall spits and catches his breath.
33:22Randall?
33:23I'm okay.
33:26I'm okay.
33:29Better?
33:30Alice holds Fatima's hand.
33:32A little, yeah.
33:34Well, it's a start, right?
33:36Yeah.
33:37They stop in the driveway of Colony House and kiss.
33:46I'm gonna, um...
33:48I'm gonna go take a nap.
33:49Yeah, I told Donna that I was gonna start getting things ready for the food run tomorrow.
33:53Okay.
33:54Okay.
33:55She starts to head off, then turns around.
33:57And hey, um...
34:01For today.
34:04You're welcome.
34:06She smiles warmly at him, then continues walking.
34:11Inside, Fatima climbs to the third floor.
34:14She pauses on the way to her room and gazes down the hallway.
34:18She hustles to a door at the end of the hall.
34:23It's me.
34:24Inside, Elgin shovels dirt from the cooler, creating a mountain in the middle of the room.
34:29I did the best I could.
34:31Think it's gonna be enough?
34:32It's a great start, but I think we're gonna need a little bit more.
34:37Elgin nods.
34:39In the forest, Henry and Tabitha hike toward the tree with bottles hanging from it.
34:44Victor told me this is where Miranda was going.
34:47When she died, he took me to her grave, but I don't think he could bear to take me here.
34:59This looks just like the wind she made back home.
35:03He circles the tree, coming to the large hollow.
35:05Except for this.
35:07He peers inside as Tabitha steps closer.
35:12Henry backs up, and they both stand a few feet away, gawking at it.
35:16Tabitha starts toward the hollow.
35:19Go back to town, Henry.
35:20Tabitha, you can't do this.
35:21Henry, please.
35:22I was hoping you'd realize it on your own by the time we got here.
35:25Henry, I told you.
35:25The tree is the one that you're gonna let me go.
35:27Yes, the tree is meant only for you.
35:29And what if it isn't?
35:31What if you're wrong?
35:31What if you end up stuck in some walls somewhere, gasping for air, alone?
35:37What happens to Julie and Ethan?
35:41I left a note for Donna.
35:43She'll make sure to take care of them.
35:45You left a note.
35:46Yes, I did.
35:47Boy, well, I didn't realize you'd left a note.
35:51I'm sure they'll be just fine.
35:52Tears well up in Tabitha's eyes.
35:54Am I supposed to do nothing?
35:58Finding the lighthouse could be what gets everyone home.
36:02If it's not...
36:02I don't know.
36:03I'll try something else.
36:03Not if you're dead.
36:04Then what the fuck am I supposed to do, Henry?
36:06Move!
36:07I don't know!
36:07I don't know.
36:08I wish I did know.
36:10But if you want to go through this tree...
36:13He blocks the hollow.
36:14You're gonna have to go through me first.
36:16Henry, move.
36:18Please, Henry.
36:19Your kids need you.
36:22Ethan and Julie.
36:24Tabitha stares past Henry.
36:25Tabitha?
36:29Henry turns and sees the boy in white, standing nearby, looking at them.
36:36Why are you here?
36:38Why do you look so different?
36:41Those are the wrong questions.
36:45Will that tree take me back to the lighthouse?
36:48I don't think so.
36:50Wait, you don't think so?
36:52You told me it was the only way.
36:54It was.
36:56But that was before.
36:57Yeah, but before.
36:58Okay, you need to stop talking to riddles.
37:00You're getting so close now, but I'm afraid you're running out of time.
37:05Victor!
37:06Tabitha and Henry turn.
37:08When they look back, the boy in white is gone.
37:10Victor!
37:11Okay.
37:11I came from over there.
37:12Come on.
37:13Ethan jogs through the woods with Jade behind him.
37:15Victor!
37:16Victor sits curled up on the ground.
37:18What happened?
37:19Ethan?
37:20We're over here!
37:22Ethan!
37:25She hugs him while Henry squats down to Victor.
37:28Victor.
37:28Victor.
37:29Hey.
37:30Hey, talk to me, son.
37:33I told...
37:34I told myself it wasn't real.
37:37It told myself it wasn't real.
37:38Henry hugs him.
37:40It's okay, buddy.
37:41It's okay.
37:42You're all right, son.
37:45It's okay, son.
37:46It's okay.
37:47It's all right.
37:48You're all right.
37:49It's all right.
37:50Hey, hey.
37:51Jade knits his brow and gazes around.
37:53He looks down at a group of wild mushrooms sprouting from the ground.
37:59He pulls one out of the dirt and holds it up.
38:05I'll be damned.
38:06Boyd strolls up to Abby's grave, removing his blazer.
38:13He stops at the stone bench.
38:16Dads.
38:18He lays his jacket down and moves closer to the cross-grave marker.
38:22Been a while.
38:29Things are...
38:33Yeah, things are changing.
38:38I am changing.
38:42Done some things recently.
38:46You've said some things.
38:48He looks off, shaking his head, then lowers to the ground and sits.
38:52I don't know if I like who I'm becoming.
38:58But I don't know who else to be.
39:04Tabitha and Jade...
39:07What they're saying...
39:09What they remember...
39:11If it's true, it feels like for the first time, we're close to something.
39:18But none of it matters.
39:20I can't hold these people together.
39:25If I lose these people right now, I...
39:29He froze his brow and leans back on his hands.
39:33I could really use some help.
39:37I don't know if there's...
39:39There's anything you can do, but...
39:40Hands reach up from the ground behind him.
39:42You can hear me.
39:44They grab his arm.
39:46Hey!
39:46Don't go...
39:47Dad!
39:48No, no, no!
39:48No!
39:49They start pulling him underground.
39:51Get out!
39:52Get out!
39:53His arm is buried up to his shoulder.
39:56Get out!
39:57He yanks it free and jumps back.
40:00He pats the ground with his foot.
40:02It's solid.
40:05He gapes at his arm.
40:08The...
40:09The...
40:10The fuck is...
40:15Cut to block...
