BOYD: Previously onFrom. [EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
You feel it. You do.
When I walked inside the ruins, I think I went somewhere.
You're a Storywalker.
But you can't change a story once it's been told.
Me and Jade, we try to save those children, set them free.
We've come back over and over again
because we failed the first time.
Knowledge comes with a cost.

TABITHA: Where's your father? He's not back yet.
Wasn't he with you? TABITHA: Yeah.
We just got separated.

BOYD: Sir, can you hear me?
Dad! Okay, come on, kiddo.
Dad! BOYD: He's okay.
JADE: We need to tell people.
TABITHA: We have no idea what happened out there.
We don't even know if it's true.
You, me, Jim.
Jim's not home.
Put that down.
She's here to help.
Sara took his eye out with a screwdriver.
Can you stitch him up?
Once the baby was born, we were supposed to go home.
It's okay. We got you. I got you.
ACOSTA: You think you're some kind of hero? What you did to that kid up there?
You're a fucking monster.
[SIGHS]
You played a very special role in a very important story.
I couldn't come to them as I was.
[GRUNTS] [BONES CRACKING]
SOPHIA: Not with everything they learned.
Are you all right?
I'm lost.
[TIRES SCREECH]
I'm sorry you won't be here to see what comes next.
It's always my favorite part.

Hey, hey. Hey, okay. Come back inside.
No, I can't.
You need to get back inside. I can't go back in there,please.
Kenny.
Okay, get inside!
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
Hey!
What'd I tell you?
I told you, you don't go outside, I told you!
He's dead.
What? [SOBS]
My father died.
Oh. SOPHIA: [SOBS]
Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, bud, okay.
Okay, I didn't...
You don't go outside, okay? I didn't mean to, I just...
I'm sorry.
Hey, what's going on?
He's gone. [SOBS] It's okay, it's okay.
I don't know what now. He's gone.

Boyd.
Uh--
Would you step back inside for a minute?
What I'm about to say is not for me.
It's for everyone here.
If people find out what happened...
If people find out what you did...
What we did...
That's the kind of thing that could tear this place apart.
And I can't let that happen.
So, if anybody asks, and they will ask...
you're going to tell them that you lost your eye
trying to help Fatima.
And if I don't?
Then I will tell everyone that you killed Tillie.
And then I'm going to put you in the Box.
You understand what that means, right?
Right?
Good.
They're going to find out.
One way or another, the truth always comes out.
Well, if I was you...
I would make sure it doesn't.

Thank you.

Of course.
What happens now?
Um...
Well, I'll talk to Boyd about a burial.
Who's Boyd?
KENNY: He's the sheriff.
He's the one that helped get you out of the car.
He seemed kind. [LIQUID POURING]
He is.
He is. He's kind of the thing that holds this whole place together.
Hey, if you want,
we could take a walk down into town,
you know? I could show you around a little bit and...
maybe get you a spare set of glasses from the storage room.
I'd like that very much, thank you.
Okay.
[GLASS SHATTERS] ETHAN: I hate it here!
I hate this place!
Hey! Stop Ethan! I don't want to be here anymore.
You need to stop, okay?
What did you do? Why didn't he come home?
I did nothing!
You're lying! You're a liar!
You guys always fight.
I want Dad!
I hate it here!
I hate you!
Please.

Yep.
[GRUNTS]
We need to clean him up before Tabitha and the kids see him.
BOYD: Yeah.
"Knowledge comes at a cost."
The fuck does that even mean?
We need to talk.
Sara.
Sara, what's...
What's going on?
They found Jim in the barn this morning.
Is he, um...
Uh...
Um...
I'm gonna need you to head back up to the clinic.
But you said we'd get new glasses.
Are you going to the storage room?
Yeah.
I can take her.
No. You're Sophia, right?
I'm Sara. I used to work at the diner.
I know where all the good stuff is.
Okay, okay. Yeah.
I know you two were close.
I'm sorry.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
SARA: Come on.
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
JADE: The children...
The seven kids, they kept saying this word over and over again.
Anghkooey.
BOYD: Okay.
When we played the song at the tree, it was like something unlocked.
And we finally understood.
Anghkooey.
It means "remember."
And we did.
"Knowledge comes at a cost"?
That's why they wrote it.
It killed Jim because of us.
"If we push too hard, something would push back."
What's that?
Something Sara said once we were out in the woods.
Her brother, he had a theory about this place.
He didn't think looking for answers was a good idea.
[EXHALES]
So what do we do now?
Assuming you're right, that you and Tabitha have been coming back here
over and over and over,
that these kids keep calling you back to help them,
how do we do it?
I mean, how do you even begin to save something that's... already dead?
I don't know.
I'm working on it.
Yeah.
Work harder.
Come on.
[DOOR SHUTTING]
SARA: Give me a second. Mm-hmm.
Hey.
Are you all right?
We're not friends.
Don't talk to me like we're friends.
Okay.
It's right through here.
Come on.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
Ethan?
Julie?
Where's my mom?
Uh...
She'll be back. She just had to step out for a minute.
Can I get you something?
I'm going for a walk.
I want someone to go with you.
It's the middle of the day, Donna. I'll be fine. I just need to...
Okay.
Uh, Ethan's asleep.
DONNA: Julie?
If you need anything, you just ask me, okay?

What the hell do you want?
Hey, what happened?
My dad is... [CRIES]

Hey, look, I'm sorry.
No, don't, don't.
I need your help.
Yeah, okay.
I need you to come back to the ruins with me.
Why?
Because I'm gonna save him.

Tabitha.
Get out. No, listen, please. I just--
I said get out!
This means it's real.
The memories.
Everything they showed us.
It's real.
It is real.
I don't give a shit.
Do you understand? I don't fucking care.
Look, I can't even imagine what you're going through.
I know you don't want to hear this right now, but what they did...
this message... [SCRUBBING CONTINUES]
I think they're doing it to stop us from digging further.
They're trying to make us afraid.
Well, then it worked.
Because I'm fucking terrified.
My husband's dead.
Do you understand?
My husband's dead.
You have to think about your children now.
[SCOFFS]
You know what?
Fuck you.
What do you know, huh?
What do you know?
Do you want to go back to The Bottle Tree and play your stupid violin?
Because you got nothing to lose.
Because you don't give a shit about anybody but yourself.
That is not true.
It should have been you...
hanging from the fucking rafter.
It should have been you.
Fuck it.

Hey, hey, hey!

You want to go for a ride? I'm coming with you.

Come out, Kristi. KRISTI: It's okay.
Fine.
Hey! Stop!
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
Kenny.
I heard about Jim.
Yeah.
They left us a message this time. That's new.
Yeah, but Jade has a theory about that.
Sure, everybody's got a theory.
No, there might be something to this one.
Boyd! [BREATHES HEAVILY]
Kristi's in trouble.
What? Acosta took the ambulance.
She's got Kristi inside.
A tad big.
Okay. Um..
Nope, those do not work. [CHUCKLES]
How about these?
Those look good.
SOPHIA: So, um...
It's so sad. All these things... they...
they belong to people that were trapped here?
Yeah.
I wonder who these belonged to.
Um... It's kind of nice, though. I mean,
there's a part of them that's still here,
a part that's... not forgotten.
I've never really thought of it that way.
What happened this morning to that man?
Does that sort of thing happen a lot?
It never used to.
For a long time after Boyd found the talismans, things were...
It happens a lot more often now.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
It's okay. It's important to be honest about things. Um...
My dad used to always say that.
Do you have family here?
No.
Not anymore.
[SIGHS]
Uh... [EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
You must be hungry. We should get some food.
Yeah, I am. I'm starving.

Here they come. What?
Hey!
No, wait. Don't go!
What's going on?
Acosta's got Kristi in the ambulance.
Where the fuck are they going?
BOYD: God damn, Acosta. DONNA: What the hell?
BOYD: All right.
So everyone says there's no way out, right?
You just go round and round?
Well, I didn't.
The night I got here, we drove in,
we stopped in the road, and then everything just...
It all fucking exploded, and then I took all of you at your word.
Why should I believe a single thing you people say?
Look, is this about Elgin?
Look, you need to understand--
No, I don't need to understand shit, all right?
Fuck. You're a doctor. You're supposed to help people.
You really okay with that?
Oh, I'm not okay with any of this.
And you're a cop.
And what you're doing is gonna get people hurt.
No.
What I'm doing is getting out.
Right fucking now.
[CAR ACCELERATES]
RANDALL: Julie.
Look, Julie, slow down.
Slow down.
So what? We step inside the ruins and then what?
We walk through time?
Ethan called it Storywalking. Okay, great.
That doesn't make it any fucking better. Julie, stop.
You can't-- What?
Like, what happened?
With your dad?
What you're going through right now.
Hey, you gotta take a breath.
And what?
What do I do then, huh?
I am telling you, when I walked into those ruins, I went somewhere.
Okay?
If I did it once, I can do it again.
Even if there is the slightest fucking chance,
I have to try.
Please.
Just tell me what you need me to do.
[SOBS]
Why didn't you come home, Jim?
[SNIFFS]
I was waiting for you.
Why didn't you come home?
[SOBS] I'm so angry at you.
All night I thought about what I wish I said to you in the woods.
I thought about the fact that...
I've loved you since the first moment I saw you.
There's been so much fighting, so much pain.
You were still my person.
You're my everything.
I'm so afraid you didn't know that.
How am I supposed to do this without you here?
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
We're gonna be okay.
Julie and Ethan.
I don't know how...
but I'm going to find a way to take care of them, to keep them safe.
You don't have to be afraid.
I love you, Jim.
Goodbye.
BOYD: Here we go. Hey, get out of the way.
Hey, stop!
Okay, slow down.
BOYD: Stop!
Slow down. Slow down. Stop! Stop!
[OVERLAPPING SHOUTING]
Fuck. You're going way too fucking fast right now.
We've been through town twice already. What more do you need to see?
There's got to be a way. I'm not just going to sit around
and wait for those things to pick us off one by one.
You guys just hang your rocks at night. You pretend you're safe,
thinking that Sheriff Boyd is going to what, somehow save you?
Let me tell you something, Boyd... Boyd doesn't know what he's doing.
None of you people know what the fuck you're doing.
But you do. Yeah, well, at least I'm trying.
That was a lot faster.
Yeah, that's the pattern.
She's looking for a way out. She's just going to get more and more...
What do we do?
Get the strip.
Yeah.
Victor?
You in here?
VICTOR: You shouldn't have come here.
Hey.
I...
I heard about Jim. I'm sorry.
You shouldn't have come here.
You should never have come to this place.
Have you gone to see Ethan yet?
No. No? Okay.
No.
I can't.
You can't?
Well, Victor, he's your friend, and...
he needs you, so when you're ready...
Those words on the wall...
The words, sure, yeah. Yeah.
You see, this place takes everything good.
It takes everything... everything good away.
And then what if it takes you next?
Me? Well, I'm not going anywhere.
No, no.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
You don't know that.
No.
You don't know that. Okay.
VICTOR: So you just shouldn't have come.
You shouldn't...
You shouldn't have come to this place.
You should never have c...
Hey, hey, hey, listen.
No one should have come to this place.
Hey, none of us.
But, you know, we're here.
You and me, and we're together.
I'll take that any day of the week,
no matter what gets written on the walls.
We...
We face this together.
Okay? Okay?
So you just... walk inside?
Yeah.
And then what?
Then I find my dad.
You go first. What?
Just... walk inside.
Why? Will you just do it, please?
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
What's supposed to happen?
Nothing.
I... I just had to make sure that the same thing
wasn't gonna happen to you when you come in to get me.
Come back.
Look, look.
I need you to give me some time before you pull me out.
Okay?
Even if it looks bad. What do you mean if it looks bad?
Julie, what's gonna happen?
Promise me. Please.
Okay, fine.
You have to promise.

All right, yes. I promise.

[GRUNTS]
All right. Got it? KENNY: Yeah.
Hey, she's gonna be okay.
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
My mom, she...
She always believed in hell.
But you know what I think?
I think hell is for people who think
that they deserve to suffer, and I don't.
I am a good person, and I don't deserve to be here.
None of us deserve to be here.
I don't know that. I don't.
I don't know a single thing about you people.
And you know, maybe the real reason that you don't try harder
is that deep down you think that you deserve to be here.
The real reason we don't try harder is because every time we do,
somebody fucking dies.
Do you know how many people I've known
who thought they knew exactly what this place is?
How many theories I've listened to on why we're all here?
Or brilliant ideas on how to get out?
You want to know what they all have in common?
They're all fucking dead.
There is no way out. Do you understand that?
No! Okay?!
There's a way!
There is a way! There is always a way.
Ethan.
Okay, pull over.
He's fine.
He's a fucking kid in the woods whose father just died. Pull over!
No, no, no.

What are you doing out here?
I came to get the radio.
[SIGHS]
It's broken.
I thought maybe I could send Thomas a message.
The real Thomas.
That he should look for you so you wouldn't be alone.
What's wrong?
Everything's okay.
Do you remember what I told you last time we were here at the RV?
That when bad things happen,
we have to look after each other and always do our best?
That's right.
And your mom and your sister...
they need that from you now more than ever.
You're not staying, are you?
I wish that I could.
Dad... what's happening?
I need you to do something very important.
The night we arrived here and we crashed the RV and we were trapped inside...
you had a dream.
Do you remember what you dreamt about?
The Lake of Tears?
That's right.
Do you know why?
It's here.
And I need you to find it.
Why can't we find it together?
