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