- [BOYD] Previously on From
- 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 tried to save those children
and set them free.
We've come back over and over again
because we failed the first time.
Knowledge comes with a cost.
[GASPING]
[TABITHA] Where's your father?
He's not back yet.
- Wasn't he with you?
- Yeah.
We just got separated.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Sir, can you hear me?
- Dad!
- [BOYD] Okay. Come on, kiddo.
- Dad!
- [BOYD] He's okay.
[JADE] We need to tell people.
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?
- [ACOSTA] I got you.
Once the baby was born,
we were supposed to go home.
That's okay. We got you. I got you.
You think you're some kind of hero?
What you did to that kid up there,
you're a fucking monster.
[EXHALES HEAVILY]
You played a very special role
in a very important story.
I couldn't come to them as I was.
[GROANS]
Not with everything they learned.
Are you all right?
I'm lost.
[GASPING]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
I'm sorry you won't be here
to see what comes next.
It's always my favorite part.
This is when they tear themselves apart.
[MUFFLED CHOKING]
Hey, Sophia?
Sophia?
[WEEPING HYSTERICALLY]
[WEEPING]
No. No, no, no, no, no.
Sophia!
[WEEPING HYSTERICALLY]
Hey, hey.
Hey. Okay. Come back inside. Okay?
- No, I can't.
- We need to get back inside!
I can't go back in there, please.
Kenny?
Okay. Get inside!
Hey! Hey!
- [DOOR LOCKING]
- What'd I tell you?
I told you, you don't
go outside! I told you!
He's dead.
What?
My My father died.
- [SOBBING]
- Oh.
[SOBBING]
Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. But 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?
- [SOBBING] He's gone.
- It's okay, it's okay.
I don't know what now. He's gone.
- [SOBBING]
- [KENNY] Shh, shh, shh.
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
[KENNY] I'm sorry,
but you don't go outside, okay?
We're gonna take care of you now, okay?
[SOBBING]
[DOOR OPENS]
Boyd?
Uh
would you step back inside for a minute?
[ELGIN STAMMERS]
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 gonna tell them
that you lost your eye
trying to help Fatima.
And if I don't?
[THUDDING]
Then I will tell everyone
that you killed Tillie.
And then, I'ma put you in the box.
You understand what that means, right?
Right?
Good.
They're gonna 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.

Um
Well, I'll I'll talk
to Boyd about a burial.
Who's Boyd?
He's the sheriff.
He's the one that helped
get you out of the car.
He seemed kind.
He is. He is. He's, uh
He's kinda the thing that holds
this whole place together.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
Hey, if you want,
we could take a walk down into town.
You know, I could show you
around a little bit,
and, uh maybe get you
a spare set of glasses
from the storage room.
I'd like that very much, thank you.
[SNIFFLING]
Okay.
[ETHAN] I hate it here!
I hate this place!
- I don't wanna be here anymore!
- Hey! Ethan! Ethan!
You need to stop, okay?
What did you do?
Why didn't he come home?

[MOURNFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
[JADE] Up.
[BOYD] All right?
[GRUNTING]
It's okay.
[GRUNTING]
All good?
All the way to the end.
[GRUNTING]
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 [CLEARS THROAT]
I'm gonna I'm gonna need you
to head back up to the clinic.
But But you said
we'd get new glasses.
Are you going to the storage room?
Yeah.
Uh
I can take her.
No. Um
You're Sophia, right?
I'm Sara.
I used to work at the diner.
I know where all of the good stuff is.
[STAMMERS] Okay. Yeah.
I know you two were close.
I'm sorry.
Come on.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYS]
[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.
They 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 OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[DOOR CLOSES]
- 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.
Ethan?
[THOUGHTFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
Julie?
Where's my mom?
Uh, she'll be back.
She just had to, uh,
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-I just need to
Okay.
Uh, Ethan's asleep.
[DONNA] Julie?
If you need anything
you just ask me, okay?
Randall?
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
Randall!
What the hell do you want?
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
Hey, what happened?
My dad is
[EXHALING SHARPLY] Jesus Christ.
Hey, look, I'm 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.
[RANDALL] Julie?
[INDISTINCT MUTTERING]
[DOOR OPENS]
Tabitha?
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
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,
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]
Know what?
Fuck you.
Fuck you!
What do you know? Huh?
What do you know?
Do you wanna go back to the Bottle Tree
and play your stupid violin?
Because you've 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.
[ENGINE REVVING]
Hey!
Fuck.
Hey, hey! Whoa!
Turn it off!
Fuck!
Turn off the engine
and get out of the ambulance.

Fine.
[MARIELLE] Hey! Stop!
Kenny.
I, uh, heard about Jim.
Yeah.
They left us a message
this time? That's new.
Yeah. Jade has a theory about that.
Sure. Everybody's got a theory.
No, there might be
something to this one.
Boyd!
Kristi's in trouble.
- What?
- Acosta took the ambulance.
She's got Kristi inside.
[MARIELLE BREATHING HEAVILY]
A tad big.
Okay. Um
Oh, no. Those do not work.
How about these?
Those look good.
So, um it's so sad.
All these All these
things, they, uh
they belonged 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
- [STRING TWANGING]
- not forgotten.
I've never really
thought of it that way.
[GASPS]
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 I shouldn't have said that.
It's 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.
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
Uh, you must be hungry.
We should get some food.

[WOMAN] What are they doing?
- [BOYD] Goddamn it, 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?
[SIGHS] Fuck, you're a doctor!
You're supposed to help people.
You're 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.
[ENGINE REVVING]
[RANDALL] Julie.
Julie, slow down. Slow down.
So, what? We step inside
the ruins, and then what?

Ethan called it Storywalking.
Okay, great. That doesn't
make it any fucking better!

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? And 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.
[DOOR CREAKING]
[BREATHING UNSTEADILY]
Why didn't you come home, Jim?
[SNIFFLING]
I was waiting for you.
Why didn't you come home?
I'm so angry at you.
All night, I thought about
what I wish
I'd said to you in the woods.
[SNIFFLING]
I thought about the fact that
I have loved you since
the first moment I saw you.
There's been so much
fighting and so much pain.
[SNIFFLING]
You were still my person.
You were my everything,
and I'm so afraid you didn't know that.
How am I supposed to do
this without you here?
[SNIFFLING] We're gonna be okay.
Julie and Ethan
I don't know how,
but I'm gonna find a way
to take care of them,
to keep them safe.
You don't have to be afraid.

There's gotta be a way!
I'm not gonna just 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 gonna 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.
If she's looking for a way out,
she's just gonna get more and more

Dad!
[GROANS]
[STRAINING]

But I want to play.
[GRUNTING]

Randall!
Randall, pull me out!
There's no one here to help you.

[SCREECHING]
[SCREAMS]
I got you. I got you.
No, no, no, no, no!
Hey, hey, hey. Shh. Shh.
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me. Breathe. You're okay.

- [SOBBING]
- I have to go back!
- I know.
Ethan?
Ethan, can I come in?
Ethan?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]
Donna?
Ethan's not up there.
What? I was here the whole time.
Ethan!
Tabitha, he was upstairs!
Ethan!
Ethan!
- Perfect. You got it?
- Yeah.
Hey, she's gonna be okay.
My mom, she, uh
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'm a good person,
and I don't deserve 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, someone 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 of how to get out?
You wanna 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's a way! There's 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, no, no.
- Hey. Come on, Marielle.
- Okay.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Fuck.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
- Stop!
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
[MARIELLE] Kristi!
Are you okay?
Hey! You get the fuck out of the car!
Get the fuck out!
- [KENNY] Hey, you good?
- Ow. Yeah.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Huh?
You could've killed somebody,
you know that? Turn around.
Fucking driving like a crazy
fucking person out here.
Huh? Answer me!
Boyd!
[BOYD] Let's go. Let's go.
- [KRISTI] Ethan.
- What?
Ethan. He was walking on the road.
- [BOYD] What?
- Yeah.
Dad?
Ethan.
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
What are you doing out here?
I came to get the radio.
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
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?
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYS]
I need you
to do something very important.
The night we arrived here,
when we crashed the RV
