00:02My wife, Miranda, she painted things she saw here.
00:08One of those paintings was of a man in a yellow suit.
00:11You're telling me this could be the same suit?
00:15You don't see a lot of people walking around here in a canary yellow suit.
00:19Well, Victor obviously recognized it.
00:20He didn't just recognize it. I watched a grown man wet his pants.
00:23My question is, if the suit's here, then where's the guy worn?
00:27Long gone, maybe.
00:29For all we know, this suit might have been laying out in the forest for years.
00:32This close to town? Look, it's not like it's easy to miss.
00:34Then maybe those things that come out at night left it there to mess with our heads.
00:38The point is, we don't know.
00:40The best thing we can do right now is talk to Victor.
00:42I'll do it. I'll talk to him.
00:43No, maybe we should all.
00:44I... I will talk to my son. Alone.
00:51Okay.
00:52If there's nothing else, I'll...
00:53Yeah, no. Okay.
00:57The young boy, the one dressed in white, he said to us that we're running out of time.
01:04For 40 years, that boy was nothing but a painting in my basement.
01:10That suit, this place, all just paintings in the basement.
01:15And now...
01:19I think there was a part of me that was still trying to pretend any of this was normal.
01:31Does he know? About his wife? About you?
01:38We don't even know if it's real.
01:40It's real?
01:42No. No, Talitha's right. We need to be pretty goddamn sure.
01:46Have you said anything to Fatima?
01:48No, she's done with enough eyes is.
01:50All right. Then everyone who knows is standing in this room.
01:52Let's keep it that way for now.
01:54Understood?
01:56She's a man in the old suit.
01:58If Rand was able to paint him, that means somewhere in your mind there might be an answer to who
02:02he is.
02:03If this is about your fucking mushrooms...
02:06Boyd, are you seriously okay with him taking magic mushrooms that he found in a haunted forest?
02:12No, Donna. I'm not.
02:14I'm also not okay with waking up every morning and counting how many bodies there are.
02:18Are you okay with that?
02:19We're losing. Okay?
02:21I'm not gonna say that out there, but in here, whatever game this is, we are losing.
02:27And then that freaky little kid in white pops up and tells Tabitha that we're running out of time and
02:32we still don't know the goddamn rules.
02:37If there are answers in his head, any answers, we need to get them out. Okay?
02:42I'll be there with him. If anything goes wrong, I'm right there.
02:46Well, good luck with that.
02:48Alice, there are people waiting to go up to the settlement to gather food.
02:52People still need to eat.
02:54And you? You do this? You go on this little trip?
03:00You know you may not come back, right?
03:03Yeah.
03:06Come on. Let's go.
03:08Yeah.
03:14Boyd, would you mind giving us a minute, please?
03:18Yeah.
03:19Of course.
03:20Yeah.
03:34Come in.
03:38I hope I didn't wake you.
03:40I didn't sleep much.
03:41Neither did I at first.
03:44I, um...
03:46I was...
03:48hoping we could talk.
03:50Okay.
03:59I assume Kenny told you about me.
04:02About what I did?
04:04Yeah.
04:08So why would you want to live here?
04:10Because when I met you, I knew you were kind.
04:13I know what you did was terrible, but...
04:15My father used to always say that only good people are tortured by the bad things that they've done.
04:21Plus, I figured here I'd get my own room.
04:27I'll go make us breakfast.
04:29I'll be right down.
04:52I know what you're doing.
04:55I'll be right back.
04:56I'm afraid I didn't eat as much as we can.
04:56What do you want to leave the bed?
05:02Oh, yeah.
05:05Ow!
05:07Ow, no!
05:08No!
05:08No, no!
05:08No, no, no, please!
05:11No, no, no, no, please!
05:19Why were you in the woods with Ethan?
05:22You should really ask Ethan about that.
05:24I'm asking you.
05:27Did he tell you he saw Jim in the forest?
05:31Yeah.
05:32Apparently Jim told him that he had to find the Lake of Tears.
05:35Does that sound familiar?
05:37That's not real.
05:37No, it's not.
05:39What it is to him.
05:40I'm not exactly the best person to be giving advice about.
05:45Well, anything, really.
05:47But I do know some kids just feel more comfortable living in their imagination.
05:52All right, it's where they go when the world gets scary.
05:55Because sometimes believing in impossible things, it helps with the, um, it just helps.
06:10I'm sorry about what I said in the bar.
06:14Don't be.
06:33Don't be.
06:35If you can tell me the last time everything was all right, you want a cookie.
06:38Okay, you ready for this?
06:42Fuck no.
06:48Dad?
07:00Dad?
07:02Can you hear me?
07:05Dad?
07:11Can you hear me?
07:25Why didn't you tell me about the Lake of Tears?
07:29Why did you go to Jade and Victor and not come to me?
07:35Ethan, I need you to talk to me, please.
07:43I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't believe me.
07:50He told me I need to find it.
07:53He told me.
07:56And when I find it, that'll prove it was real.
08:01He's not gone.
08:04He's still here.
08:14Okay, then.
08:15I need you to pack a bag.
08:18Why?
08:19We're going by a drink.
08:31Your friends, anything?
08:32I don't like kids' books, Joey.
08:33If you don't want to help me, I could do this on my own.
08:35I'm not saying that.
08:38Just...
08:42Huh?
08:43What?
08:45Storywalker Fred.
08:48Who?
08:51Who's that?
08:52He's the...
08:54He's the cousin of the Grand Goolagog.
08:56Here we are.
08:57Storywalker Fred was an elevator repairman
08:59who spent his weekend storywalking
09:01as he pleased through all the wondrous tales
09:02and greatest adventures of our time.
09:05Julie?
09:06Hide the books.
09:08Uh, yeah, we're in here.
09:14I need you to pack your bag.
09:16We're going out to a settlement.
09:18Why?
09:19Ethan's convinced he needs to find the Lake of Tears.
09:23The magic lake he used to talk about?
09:24Yeah.
09:26He said he saw your father
09:27and then your dad asked him to find it.
09:31He saw him?
09:33What does that mean?
09:34I don't know.
09:36I think he's grieving.
09:39What I do know is that if I try to stop him
09:41then he'll sneak out and look for it by himself.
09:45This way I can keep him safe.
09:48Okay.
09:50So what do you need me for?
09:52Well, you're not staying here alone.
09:54Oh, I'm not going to be alone.
09:55I'll be with Randall.
09:57All right.
09:58Mom, it's not like that.
10:00It's really not.
10:01I'll stay at the clinic.
10:03Christine and Marielle are there.
10:06Can I talk to you for a minute?
10:08Mom.
10:09It's okay.
10:20Look, first of all, I just want to say sorry.
10:22Stop talking.
10:23Just listen.
10:24Okay.
10:25I don't know you, Randall.
10:26I don't know who you are or what you want.
10:28Julie trusts you.
10:30She feels safe around you and she needs that right now.
10:32So I need you to look me in the eye and tell me
10:34you understand what I will do to you
10:36if you ever do anything to bring that trust.
10:40I understand.
10:42Okay, good.
10:45Mama.
10:46Honey.
10:47What?
10:50I love you.
10:51I love you, too.
10:53Promise me you'll be okay.
10:54Promise.
10:55Yeah.
10:58I'll be back tomorrow.
11:00Yeah.
11:03This is your water.
11:04I don't need to go.
11:06Alice, it's your time.
11:07Yeah, but I'm sure Donna can find someone to take my place.
11:11I'm fine.
11:13Donna needs people out there that she knows she can rely on.
11:17Honey.
11:18I'm okay.
11:18I promise.
11:21No.
11:23Okay.
11:28Tommy is responsible for the cans on the door.
11:31Ella and Jordan will check the windows.
11:33And then about 20 minutes or so before something...
11:36Do ahead, Tim.
11:36I know.
11:37I got it.
11:38Just keep an eye on Fatima.
11:41Where the Ella's gone.
11:43Yeah.
11:45I got it.
11:45Donna.
11:46Okay.
11:47Do you have room for two more?
11:50More the merrier.
11:55Okay.
11:56Let's move it out.
11:59Come on.
12:01Let's go.
12:28How's this?
12:30This is perfect.
12:31Thank you, Elgin.
12:33I can help you with the rest if you tell me what this is for.
12:35The rest I have to do myself.
12:38You should go now.
12:41Okay.
12:50Victor.
12:52Hey.
12:55What are you doing?
12:58I have to see if the trees have moved.
13:00Why would the trees be moving?
13:02Because everything is changing and first it was snowing and now everything's green and everything
13:07is just moving too fast.
13:08And I used to measure all the time and then I haven't been paying attention and I should
13:13have been paying attention.
13:15I should have been paying attention.
13:22Can I help?
13:25See if the trees are moving?
13:33Okay.
13:36Okay.
13:36Okay.
13:37Okay.
13:37Uh, what do I do?
13:41You start with this leg like this.
13:44One.
13:45One.
13:46Two.
13:48Five.
13:50Two.
13:51Five.
13:52Five.
13:53Five.
13:54Five.
13:55Five.
13:55Five.
13:56Five.
13:57Five.
13:57Five.
13:58Five.
14:01Five.
14:23What the fuck?
14:36Hi.
15:06You don't think you told me in the army, right?
15:08Mr. Fischelow!
15:40Oh, hi.
15:44Boyd!
15:46What's going on?
15:48Is Kenny in this room right now?
15:52What?
15:54Yes.
15:55Never mind then.
15:58Is he on-
15:59Mushrooms.
16:00He's bound in the woods.
16:02All right.
16:03You need something?
16:05Uh, it's Fatima.
16:07I think maybe you should come up to the colony house.
16:20I should go.
16:21No. Stay.
16:25Please.
16:25Please.
16:29Okay.
16:33Remember this is the first place they met you.
16:38It's funny how things change.
16:45Do you still see her?
16:49The woman in the kimono?
16:52No.
16:54Do you think it's because you did what she asked so now she leaves you alone?
16:59Sarah, is something going on?
17:05I thought for a while that the voices were leaving me alone.
17:10I thought they were done with me, but turns out they're not.
17:17And what do they want you to do?
17:19It doesn't make any sense.
17:21They said they want me to go to the diner, pour a glass of water from the pitcher, take a
17:28sip and then pour it back in.
17:31And then what?
17:34What's it?
17:39How's that going to hurt anyone?
17:41I don't know.
17:43But there's always a consequence.
17:46Sarah, it's just water.
17:48But I'll have drank from it.
17:49So?
17:53Whatever's wrong with me?
17:55What if it's like an infection?
17:59What if I pass it on to someone else and then the voices start torturing them?
18:03I don't want anyone to have to live like this.
18:08Okay.
18:11What if you just don't do it?
18:12They said if I don't do it by midday, then something bad will happen to someone that I care about.
18:18And it will keep happening until I do it.
18:30How many steps?
18:32Uh, 23.
18:40Victor, I want to talk to you about what happened yesterday.
18:43Nothing happened yesterday.
18:45Can we...
18:46No, Dad, you can't, you can't just stop in the middle.
18:50You'll...
18:52You'll mess everything up.
18:53I'm sorry.
18:55But I need you to talk to me.
18:59Whatever it was.
19:01Whatever you're afraid of, you can tell me.
19:05I think they moved a little.
19:08You said that you told yourself it wasn't real.
19:14Did you mean the yellow suit?
19:16What?
19:21Can you tell me about the man who wore it?
19:24Was he someone that hurt you?
19:28No.
19:34Look, Victor, please.
19:37Whatever it is, we'll face it together.
19:40You can tell me.
19:48Victor, what?
19:49Victor!
19:50Come, come with me.
19:51I'll show you.
19:56Hey, just sit down and don't go anywhere.
20:00Come on.
20:06Come in.
20:13I told Kenny not to bother you.
20:16Yeah.
20:19Well, he, uh...
20:24It's a lot of dirt.
20:26Yeah.
20:29You want to tell me what's going on?
20:33I'm making a monster.
20:36Here we go.
20:37The Grand Ghoulgog asks Fred about story walking.
20:40How do you choose the point in the story you wish to see?
20:42And?
20:44Fred replied, you have to create a bookmark.
20:46I discovered that by leaving a bookmark somewhere in the story he could choose whatever chapter he wished to visit.
20:51We have to make a bookmark.
20:53Julia, that doesn't make any sense.
20:55I know what you're going to say.
20:56This is a kid's book and it's crazy.
20:59It's because it is.
21:02What if that's not the right way to look at this?
21:04What if story walking existed here first?
21:06The fuck you talking about?
21:08Everything here is impossible.
21:10Okay?
21:12But it's also real.
21:13We're here, right now, in this impossible place.
21:16What if all of the crazy shit that happens here has been, like, seeping out into...
21:26My mom.
21:28My mom had nightmares about this place when she was a little girl.
21:30She didn't realize that she was dreaming about it then, but she was.
21:32Okay?
21:33Who knows how many other kids, or adults, or fucking children's book authors have had dreams about this place, about
21:38knowing it.
21:39And what if this author had a dream about someone like me doing what I can do?
21:43He woke up, wrote it down, and called it story walking.
21:46There's literally thousands of books that have stories and rules about traveling through time.
21:50No. No.
21:50Why would this book, the one with fucking Fred the story walker, why would this book be the one that
21:55explains anything?
21:55Because out of all of those books, this is the one my brother had with him when we came here.
21:59Okay?
22:00Maybe that means something.
22:03Maybe it's fate.
22:04I...
22:06If I'm right, this could actually be an instruction manual on how to save my dad.
22:11And it's all I have.
22:15So I'm gonna try whether you help me or not.
22:21So what kind of bookmark do we need?
22:25When you say must...
22:27Boyd, I know you're worried about me, but you don't have to be.
22:31Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear you saying that.
22:33The problem is...
22:35But this says something else.
22:39Have you told Ellis what you're doing in here?
22:41I wasn't trying to hide it from him.
22:44He has been so worried lately.
22:47I figured once he was back from the food run, once he could see what I was doing, it would
22:51be easier to explain.
22:53Okay, great.
22:55Explain it to me.
23:03Where I grew up, beliefs were very rigid.
23:07They defined you.
23:09But my dad told stories of all the different faiths.
23:12He used to drive my mother crazy because she understood how dangerous it was.
23:18But he would just smile.
23:20He'd say,
23:22Fatima, they have it wrong.
23:25They all think their road is the only way.
23:28Don't they understand that all roads lead to the divine?
23:31They simply take different paths to get there.
23:34Fatima.
23:35Of all the stories my father would tell.
23:39All the fables and myths.
23:43There's one story I've been thinking a lot about lately.
23:47Do you know what a golem is, Boyd?
24:02Well?
24:03She's, um...
24:07She's making a golem.
24:10Of what?
24:12It's a part of a religious folklore.
24:15It's a giant made of clay.
24:18It protects people.
24:19It's a champion.
24:20She said it's a symbol of hope.
24:25Maybe for now we just give her some space.
24:29Well, that's your solution?
24:32Give her some space.
24:34She's not hurting anybody.
24:35That's not the point.
24:37We have both seen this place turn people, change them little by little until one day...
24:43Turn around and...
24:46And the person that we knew is-is gone.
24:51Boyd, that person up there is not the Fatima that I know.
24:56And I think if you're being honest with yourself, that's not the Fatima you know either.
25:09Can I ask you something?
25:11Yeah?
25:14What the hell are you doing out here?
25:18I don't know.
25:20I don't know what I'm doing.
25:24I just keep walking around with this knot of terror inside me that feels like it's going to explode.
25:30And the whole time...
25:33There's this question that keeps ringing in my mind.
25:38What am I supposed to do now?
25:41Jim's gone.
25:42I keep looking for him but he's gone.
25:47I have memories in my head that belong to other people.
25:52Memories that might have answers.
25:54But I'm terrified of what it'll cost if I go too far or if I remember too much.
26:01But if I don't...
26:10I know I'm failing.
26:13What's going to happen when Ethan learns that...
26:15A lake of tears is not real.
26:19I'm going to deal with that.
26:20Hey everyone.
26:22Let's just take a little break, okay?
26:24You good?
26:25Yeah, we're fine. Just need a little breather.
26:28Okay.
26:29Let's sit down.
26:39I don't know how to do this alone.
26:41You are not alone.
26:44People keep saying that.
26:45Maybe you should fucking listen.
26:49I don't want to find another one of those notes like the one on my nightstand.
26:53You are not going to put me in the position of having to explain to your kids why I'm still
26:58alive and you're not.
26:59Don't know.
27:01You and those kids are as much my family as any family I have ever had.
27:10So from now on, if anyone is going to risk their lives to do something stupid, that person is going
27:19to be me.
27:20And not you.
27:23Are we clear on that?
27:25I am asking, are we clear on that?
27:31We're clear on that.
27:33We're clear on that.
27:34Mom!
27:35Come look at this!
27:38Come on.
27:45Looks like a broken wing.
27:48Must have fallen from the nest or something.
27:51We've never seen anything here but crows.
27:53We have to take him with us.
27:55Who, Ethan?
27:57Mom.
27:59This is a sign.
28:02If the lake of the settlement really is the lake of tears, it'll fix him.
28:07That's how we'll know.
28:08We have to take him with us.
28:18I can't imagine what this is like for her.
28:21At least when I got here I found you, you know.
28:24Maybe she lost the only person she had here.
28:27Yeah.
28:29I can't tell if she's handling it well or just hasn't accepted it yet.
28:35She prays a lot.
28:37That's...
28:37I don't know, maybe it helps.
28:40Yeah, that's...
28:41That was always the one thing about NA that I just couldn't stand.
28:45The whole giving yourself up to a higher power.
28:48If there were ever proof that no one's looking out for us,
28:51it's here.
29:24I don't see a lot of you in here.
29:25I don't see a lot of you in here.
29:28I won't be long.
29:29Well, Sarah, you can stay as long as you like.
29:35I think it's really nice that you reopened the diner.
29:38Well, I thought it'd be a good way to keep busy.
29:41You used to work here, right?
29:44Feels like a long time ago now.
29:46Well, if you ever want to come back, I could use the help.
29:51Look, I wasn't here when you did what you did.
29:54But who you've become while I've known you...
29:57That girl deserves a place.
30:00Think about it.
30:06The doctor?
30:07Yeah?
30:10Do you mind dumping that out for me?
30:13Sure.
30:19Oh, shit.
30:21Wait.
30:23What's happening?
30:25I don't...
30:25I don't know.
30:27I'm coming.
30:28Don't move, okay?
30:32Stay right where you are.
30:34Stay right where you are.
30:35Where does it hurt?
30:37Okay, we'll see.
30:38Okay, look at me.
30:39Take a deep breath.
30:40What happened?
30:41I was standing by the edge and it felt like something pushed me.
30:46Is anyone else?
30:48No.
31:22Hey.
31:23You don't hear it?
31:26No.
31:27No, not quite.
31:32I guess Fatima's making a mud monster.
31:37Sorry.
31:37Sorry.
31:37I was eavesdropping.
31:42I don't know if I should be up there stopping her.
31:45Or if I should be up there helping her.
31:51And if it wasn't for what happened to me and Tabitha, everything we remembered,
31:55I never would have even considered taking those mushrooms.
32:00What's your point?
32:03My point is something changed.
32:08It made me realize I had to do something drastic before it was too late.
32:11Even if everyone around me thought I was insane.
32:17So maybe the question you need to ask Fatima isn't why she's making that thing.
32:25Maybe the question you need to ask is why she's making it now.
32:36Jesus.
32:40These things are even creepier in person.
32:43Jade's there to ward off evil spirits.
32:45Huh.
32:47Oh, that's, uh, comforting I suppose.
32:53Okay.
32:54The more food we collect before dark, the earlier we leave in the morning.
32:58So, drop your bags.
33:00Let's go.
33:00Mom.
33:01We need to get them to the lake.
33:03Come on.
33:04Let's go.
33:13You leave.
33:15I'm here.
33:17Got what you asked for.
33:22Doctor.
33:24What are you doing?
33:26Last time I tried this, one of those stings grabbed me by the hair.
33:29That's not gonna happen again.
33:35Okay.
33:36Ready?
33:38Mm-hmm.
33:43Okay.
33:44So, to create a bookmark, I fold up a piece of paper, and I bring it with me when I
33:50story walk.
33:52Wherever I end up in the past, like whatever chapter I'm in, I just draw the symbol on the paper
33:59and leave it there.
34:01If this works, when you pull me out, the symbol that I drew in the past will also be here
34:05on the paper in the present.
34:12You've been waiting to do that since we left town, haven't you?
34:14I have, yeah.
34:19Okay.
34:22Let's say this thing works.
34:24Let's say you make it out of this thing with a function of bookmark.
34:27How does that help us?
34:28Because from that point forward, whatever point in the story I want to visit, like the chapter right before my
34:33father was killed.
34:36Right here, in the folds, hold it back up, across the threshold.
34:41And that's where the bookmark will take me.
34:42You're asking me to watch you have another seizure.
34:46I'm asking you for five seconds.
34:49After all the symbol, you pull me out.
34:52Randall, if this works, this changes everything.
34:56Please.
34:59Five seconds.
35:01Five seconds.
35:02Five seconds.
35:11Careful.
35:15Yeah.
35:3612 seconds.
35:37Two seconds.
35:37Five seconds.
35:47Five seconds.
35:49Five seconds.
35:51Five seconds.
35:57The Serenius.
35:58Both.
36:00Five seconds.
36:08Hey, it's me, it's me, it's me, you're okay, you're okay, you're okay.
36:17No!
36:20Fuck!
36:22It didn't work, it didn't fucking work.
36:34Fuck you, come on.
36:54They're in there.
37:15They came in a car just like the rest of us.
37:19Thought his yellow suit was funny.
37:21And we thought he was just like us.
37:26We brought him in and made him our friend, but he wasn't like us.
37:30And when everyone died, when I found Mom out by the bottle tree, I saw him.
37:43He was eating her.
37:45Fuck!
37:46Fuck!
37:48Fuck!
37:49Fuck!
37:57So it's definitely broken, but we're going to wait for the swelling to go down before
38:02we reset the bone.
38:03Okay, okay.
38:06I know all of this is a little scary.
38:09It's just another test.
38:11It's why we're here.
38:13God is testing us and allowing us to prove our faith in him.
38:19I know this all sounds silly to you.
38:21No!
38:22No, it doesn't.
38:23Do you know the story of Abraham?
38:26Uh, no.
38:26No.
38:27No, I don't.
38:28Oh.
38:29He was a simple man with an unshakable faith and obedience to God.
38:38One day, God tested Abraham, ordering him to kill his only son as a way to prove his
38:45faith.
38:48But at the last moment, God intervened and offered a ram to be sacrificed instead.
38:59You see, God never intended for Abraham to kill his son.
39:07He simply needed to know if he would.
39:23You see, God never intended for him.
39:24Okay if Kenny joins us?
39:35Look, I know how strange this must seem, guys, but...
39:39Valtima, I need to know why you're doing this.
39:42I told you why I'm doing this.
39:43Why are you doing it now?
39:45Whatever it is, I need you to tell me.
39:47Please.
39:47Don't let this place make you afraid to talk to me.
39:49I still feel it.
39:53That thing I carried inside me.
39:55I still feel it.
39:57Feel it how?
39:58Like we're connected.
40:00Part of me feels what he feels.
40:04And this thing that you're making, it's gonna, what, break the connection?
40:08It goes both ways.
40:10He feels what I'm feeling too.
40:12He feels how afraid I am.
40:14He likes it.
40:16But making this, it makes me feel strong.
40:22It makes me feel less afraid.
40:25Look.
40:25It's the only way I know to fight back.
40:28Right.
40:33It's the only way I know to fight back.
40:35Making that thing, you think it could actually help?
40:38Yeah.
40:39I don't know.
40:40But all things considered, having the champion in our corner, not the worst thing in the world right now.
40:46No.
40:47I'll, uh, spread the word.
40:49Good.
40:49So give her some space.
40:51Keep everyone out of that room.
40:52Yeah.
40:53Okay.
40:53You're not.
40:53Go.
40:56Go.
41:06Go.
41:11Go.
41:13Go.
41:13Go.
41:14Go.
41:29Boyd, we got to go now.
41:35Boyd, what's wrong?
41:36Just give me a minute.
41:57What?
42:03Oh, yes.
42:09No.
42:18All right, new category.
42:22Saturday morning cartoons.
42:23Okay, I'll go first.
42:25The Jetsons.
42:27Ooh.
42:28Flintstones.
42:30Nice.
42:32Okay.
42:37Ready?
42:39Okay.
42:40Let's do it.
43:03Roger, you good?
43:04The fuck?
43:06The fuck?
43:18Mom?
43:22Oh, fuck.
43:24What?
43:25Oh, fuck.
43:26Oh, fuck.
43:28Oh, fuck.
43:32Oh, fuck.
