The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

[BOYD] Previously on From
This place is fucking with your head
because it knows how
much you miss your dad!
I watched you have two
seizures in two days.
You're only angry at me right
now because you know I'm right.
[VICTOR] When I found Mom out
by the Bottle Tree, I saw him.
[GASPS]
He was eating her.
We'll leavin' on a jet plane ♪
What's wrong with you?!
- Show him what he did!
- Okay. Okay. Okay.
[TABITHA] There's
something about those dolls.
I think I've seen them before.
- [SMASHING]
- [SCREAMING]
- [CRUNCHING]
- [SCREAMING]
- No! No!
- [SIZZLING]
- We have to
- [TABITHA] Donna!
- Donna!
- Donna!
[GRUNTS]
[DONNA] What just happened?
I remembered.
I remembered how to hurt them.
[JADE] Boyd.
I think the mushrooms kicked in.
[VOMITS]
Oh.
Show me what I used to know.
[VIOLIN PLAYING]
It's me. When I was 12 years-old.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
This is where the
children were sacrificed.
Tell me how we save them
when we've already failed!
Hi, Jade.
No! No!
Anghkooey.
[SCREAMING]
Jade! Jade! Hey, hey!
How the fuck did we get here?
Jade, you never left.
I know what we have to do to go home.
I know how we can save the children.
You can't be serious.
I am telling you it is the only way.
To what? To get everyone killed?
- [GROANS]
- You wanna go into those tunnels
where those things live,
because you think the bones
of those children are buried down there?
Yes!
It's getting late, all right?
We should get some sleep.
Listen, I I understand that
this all seems a little shaky
A "little shaky"?
Is that how you'd describe
this, a little shaky?
We knew going into this, it
was an out-of-the-box swing.
If you're just gonna flatly
reject everything I found
based on how I found it,
then what the fuck
did I even do this for?
All right, all right
All right.
Let's just forget for a
second that you saw all this
during a mushroom-infused
fever dream, let's just
let's just put that aside for a second.
Even if you're right, right,
and the bones are down there
so what?
How does finding bones help us go home?
[POURING DRINK]
I'm not entirely sure yet.
[SNAPPING CAP ON BOTTLE]
Right.
Bones.
Okay, listen to me,
there are countless
examples throughout history
of cultures, of religions
that hold the remains
the remains of the
deceased in great reverence.
What do you think the Egyptians
mummified their rulers for?
This place, this fucking
nightmare that we are stuck in,
was built
on a sacrifice.
What if the bones
are what anchor the spirits
of those children here?
I mean, have you ever
wondered why those creatures
never come out of the
tunnels during the day?
What if they're down there
protecting the very thing
that makes this place possible?
Which brings me back to the part
where you get everyone killed.
Nah. Not if we do it right.
Oh. Okay.
Tell me what the right version
of this plan looks like.
Well, I mean, that's
sort of where you come in.
Look, I realize that there are
a lot of things in your head
right now that may turn
out to be really important.
But look at it from where I'm standing.
You want me to help
plan a suicide mission
because of some things that
you saw in a mushroom trip!
What do I have to do,
what do I have to do to
prove to you this is real?
[BOYD] Yeah, I don't know.
[SIGHS]
- [JADE] The door.
- What?
You and I went into the
basement in Colony House.
I already told you,
we didn't go anywhere.
Yeah, that's right, we didn't.
And I've never been inside
the basement at Colony House
so I would have no way of knowing
what it looks like down there.
Jade, describing the
basement of Colony House
isn't gonna prove
[JADE] There was a hidden door.
Do you remember seeing any doors
in the basement of Colony House?
No.
So if we go there,
and we find that door,
would you at least consider
what I'm telling you
about these bones is true?
It'd be a start.
[VIEW-MASTER CLICKING]
[BOYD] Come on. Here you go. All right.
Explain to me why this was
fun for your generation?
- We didn't have phones.
- Interesting.
It's like social media
from the Stone Age.
This is it! This, this
is the basement I saw.
It's a little more organized.
Yeah, we're trying to build a narrative
for the people that came before us.
See if we missed anything
Boyd's just trying to keep me busy
because he knows that
I want to kill myself.
Oh. How's that going?
I haven't slit my wrists yet.
So it's going well then.
What do you need?
I'm looking for a secret door that I saw
while I was on mushrooms
I found in the forest.
People have strange conversations here.
Yahtzee!
Come on! Gimme a hand!
[BOYD] Okay.
[JADE] Come on!
Just gimme a hand! Come on!
[CLATTERING]
No, no, no. No, no, no.
It's supposed to be here.
- Jade
- It's supposed to be here!
Everything else Everything
else is exactly the same!
All right. Jade
It's supposed to be here.

[GASPS]
Maybe the door Maybe
maybe it's just a metaphor.
Maybe the bones were a metaphor.
No! No! Listen. Look.
I understand that you have doubts.
Okay, if the situation were
reversed, I'd have doubts too.
And I realize what I'm
suggesting is incredibly risky
It's fucking suicide.
Maybe Maybe for some, yeah.
Oh, you're okay with that?
What, we lose a couple of people?
Maybe a dozen? How
many is too many, Jade?
How many people are
gonna die if you keep
sitting on your goddamn
hands doing nothing?
How many have you already lost, huh?
What the fuck did you say to me?
Say it again! Go ahead! Say it again!
Boyd, there is only so long
that you can hold this place together
with grit and good intentions.
At some point, something's gonna give.
Something's gonna change.
You're gonna lose this
whole fucking town.
Don't push me, Jade.
This is our chance, Boyd.
I went looking for answers
and I found answers.
This is our shot.
[KENNY] What was that about?
Let's go outside.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
So, Jade thinks that
digging up these bones
is gonna somehow help us get home?
If the bones are even down
there in the first place, yeah.
That's his theory.
And Jade and Tabitha have
these memories because
- reincarnation.
- Yeah.
Boyd, what do you think?
If you'd asked me before
I got worms under my skin,
or before I found magic
rocks in the forest
that protect us from
monsters, what the
Oh, look, I wasn't
I wasn't tryin' to keep
any of this from you.
- I just
- I know, I know, I know.
And I know things haven't
exactly been quiet lately.
They have not.
[EXHALES HEAVILY]
Remember the good old days
when we used to count the nights
where nothing bad would happen?
If you'd have told me
that was the good part
[LAUGHING]
There is something else
we need to talk about.
Look.
[RESIDENT] Oh my God, what's he doing?
[INDISTINCT CONCERNED CHATTER]
Hey. What's goin' on?
- Victor's on the roof.
- What?
- Shit.
- What the
Goddammit.
[RESIDENT] Victor!
[WIND BLOWING]
[BIRD SINGING]
Pretty nice view.
What are you doing up here?
When I was a boy, a
man jumped from here.
He hated this place so much,
and he was so scared all the
time, so one day he jumped.
It took days for him to finally die.
He was trying to fix things
but he just made them worse.
Are you here because
of what I told my dad?
Yeah.
I shouldn't have told him any of that.
[BOYD] Hey, Victor.
The man in the suit,
he came here just like everybody else.
Is there anything else
you can remember about him?
Hey, hey, Vi-ctor.
I can try.
Okay.
Why don't we go inside?
[SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[JULIE] Sara.
Julie.
Hi.
Uh, what's the paint for?
I wanted to do something
nice for Sophia.
Make her feel more at home.
Nathan always used to
say, "A fresh coat of paint
will fix all your woes."
I I don't know what
color's in the cans.
Uh, look, I just
wanted to say I'm sorry.
I didn't really understand
what you went through.
But I think I do now.
Yeah. Just wanted to say sorry.
Do you wanna help?
I have an extra brush. Come on inside.
This man in yellow
you told your dad he came to town
just like everybody else.
We thought his suit was funny.
He seemed like a nice man.
Was he alone when he came here?
Yes. I think so
I don't know, I'm not sure.
Do you remember what
kind of car he came in?
It was big. It was brown.
Big and brown.
Is that one of the cars
you took out to the woods?
I didn't want to see it.
Okay.
Hey. You think you could
go out there with us,
and show us which one it is?
Victor, hey, hey, Victor.
I'm not gonna make you do anything
that you don't wanna do, okay?
We just need to get as
much information as we can.
We need to find out if
this guy, this man
whatever he is if it's something
that we've gotta worry about.
Just trying to keep everybody safe.
Will you help me do that?
- [KNOCKING]
- [MURMURS IN SURPRISE]
- Hey, it's
- [KENNY] It's okay.
- Okay.
- [DONNA] Boyd?
You in there?
Wha
Hey. What are you doing back so soon?
Uh, you need to come down to the shed.
Uh
Hey, you doin' okay?
[ETHAN] Have you seen Victor?
Yeah. He's up in his room.
Where's Ellis?
He's fine. He went
inside to check on Fatima.
Patty's down at the clinic.
She got pretty banged up.
How?
Let's, uh, go inside.
The fuck Donna. Who is that?
It was Roger.
I don't know how else to say this,
so I'm just gonna say it.
We were attacked by giant
dolls that came out of the lake.
And these are not just decorative.
Tabitha used it to
kill one of the dolls.
Drove it right through the fucker.
the rest just walked away.
Sadly,
that was after they got a hold of Roger.
We found his body this morning.
Oh. Jesus.
We left some food back
up at the settlement
so we could bring back the totems.
We figured they'd be worth
more than a few bags of turnips.
Anybody need a drink?
'Cause I need a drink.
Say something.
It's just a lot to take in.
I'm not crazy.
No, I no, I know.
I know. That's not
After everything that
this place has done to you,
with everything that this
place is still doing to you,
I just don't understand
what's happening, okay?
And I just I feel like
there is just so much more
that I should be doing to help.
And I feel I feel like I
am the one that's failing here.
- No
- No, I know.
That's And I'm not just
I'm not just saying that
so that you'll
look, just
just help me understand.
Um
growing up, there were a lot of times
when I was afraid.
A lot of times when I felt powerless.
But those stories, about the Jinn,
Vishnu and Krishna,
the Golem of Prague
I understand now why my
father told me those stories.
The world was so fucking scary,
but if I could believe
in magical things,
then that was something no
one could ever take away.
Look, we have seen so much darkness.
We've lived with so much fear.
I need to believe in magical things.
[EXHALES]
[VICTOR MURMURS]
Victor?
Hi.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to remember stuff.
Bad stuff.
Is this about the suit
we found in the forest?
Why did you get so scared?
I don't want to tell you that.
Why not?
Because I told my dad;
he got he got really upset.
Why?
I just told you I don't
want to tell you that!
Well then, I guess
I'm not gonna tell you
what happened at the settlement.
Fine.
Can I draw with you?
[SIGHS]
Yes.
The lake had monsters in it.
What kind of monsters?
Giant dolls.
Really?
What did What did your Mom do?
My mom killed one.
Your mom's Your mom's pretty tough.
Yeah.
Well, my mom was pretty tough too.
You know, she was always
she always smiled, even
even if she was scared.
Because she knew that we
would be scared if she didn't.
I don't think my dad's that strong.
Excuse me? Have you seen the Sheriff?
No, he, um
Try up at Colony House maybe.
Thanks.
Your name is Henry, right?
That's right.
You look troubled, Henry.
Well, it's been a bit of a day.
Excuse me.
Ah, you again, huh?
Why is there a bar
inside of a gas station?
Better question is, why
is there a gas station
in a town where no one can leave?
That's a good point.
[POURING DRINK]
Who makes the alcohol?
It's my understanding
there used to be a bartender here.
He's dead now, of course.
Do you mind if I join you?
[STAMMERS]
I'm sorry; I didn't mean to bother you.
No, uh, sit, please.
I didn't I didn't mean to be rude.
[SIGHS]
I get it. Trust me.
It's kind of amazing that
anyone here has the capacity
to do anything even remotely
Here's to the resiliency
of the human spirit.
Let's be resilient together.
I'd like that.
How old are you?
Old enough to have buried my dad.
Old enough to grieve.
Touché.
[GLASSES CLINK]
[BOYD] All right, so you're
saying that those things
that attacked you, right?
You're saying
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
What are you saying?
They were my dolls.
I was a little girl.
The man who took them
from me was afraid of them.
He said they gave him nightmares.
So he threw them in the lake.
But then, when the man died
somehow they came to life.
[KENNY] Our fears become
part of the forest.
So What?
When the cicadas were all over town,
Sara told me Nathan had
always been terrified of them.
She thought that maybe
the people who die here,
that their fears, their nightmares
become part of the forest.
I think she was right.
- Goddammit!
- Donna
How are we gonna tell people?
How are we gonna tell
them that they not only
have to worry about those
smiling pieces of shit
that come out at night,
but now we have literal
fucking nightmares
that we can't even protect them from!
How much more can people
take before they just
Why don't you just have a seat?
No, look. I just need to
splash some water on my face.
- [GASPS]
- [KENNY] Donna?
Donna! Oh, oh, hey,
Donna! Donna! Donna, Donna?
Hey! Donna? Hey, Donna.

I found the ointment.
Oh, great.
- There's not much left.
- Okay.
Okay.
This is gonna sting, okay?
But it's gonna keep it
nice and clean, okay?

I know, I'm sorry. Just breathe.
Oh, I know. You're doing great. Good.
Okay. Just breathe.
I know. Just breathe.

Does she have a pulse?

She hasn't, she hasn't!
- How long has it been?

Five, seven minutes, I don't know.

I said, hit her again! Hey!
Don't you do this!
You don't die until I
say you die! You hear me?
You don't die until I say you die!
Open your fucking eyes!
- [GASPS]
- [MARIELLE] Whoa, whoa.
What was that? Did you see that?
- Yeah.
- Did you see it?
Her pulse is back. It's
weak, but it's back.
Donna? Hey! Donna, can you hear me?
Is she okay? Why isn't she
I don't know, but we need the
monitor from the ambulance.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it.
- [BOYD] Okay.
How are we gonna power them up here?
Power it? Just don't worry about that.
I'll take care of that. I'll take
You just take care of her, okay?
Donna, can you hear me?
I haven't seen one of these
in years. Look at this.
[BOYD] Jade! Hey, where are the wires?
- [JADE] The what?
- Uh, sorry.
The extra wires from the
radio tower! Where are they?
- [ACOSTA] What's going on?
- Donna had a heart attack.
- [JADE] Jesus!
- What?!
Jade, where are the fuckin' wires?
I-It's out in the shed!
Come on. Come on! Go!
What the fuck what
What the fuck is this?
Look, there was a
problem at the settlement.
- Who Who is this?
- Jade! The wire!
It's under the thing!
Okay, help, help, help move him.
Come on. Yeah, ready?
Yeah, one, two, three.
[JADE] Oh, sweet Jesus! Fuck!
Jade, hey.
I promise, I'll explain
everything later.
- Jade! I need your help.
- [GROANS]
Donna needs your help.
Get your shit together.
- Okay! All right.
- Thank you!
Get the wires.
[BOYD] Come on.
[CHATTERING]
Look. Watch out.
[BAKTA] What's going on in
there? Is she gonna be okay?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Mom? What happened?
I thought you were outside.
Why is everyone
standing by Donna's room?
Um
Donna had a heart attack.
But she's okay, right? Is she okay?
We don't know yet.
Everyone's doing
whatever they can. Hey
But she was fine. Is it
because of the settlement?
- No.
- Because of the dolls?
No, no, no, it's
honey, sometimes things like
this just happen to people.
- I wanna go see her!
- Ethan
I wanna see her before she dies.
Hey. Don't say that.
She's not gonna die.
Yes, she is. Everyone here dies.
So, please.
Just let me say goodbye. Please.
Okay. Almost Almost got it.
- [BEEPING]
- Okay, we got it.
All right. Well?
Well, her vitals are really stable,
which is which is good.
Okay. Then why isn't she awake?
Hey, no, talk to me.
Well, we just don't know how long
her brain's been deprived of oxygen for.
She's gonna wake up.
Kristi?
I don't know.
[KNOCKING]
Hey. Um
Tabitha's asking if she
could bring Ethan in here
for a second.
He's just really upset.
Uh, yeah, just for a second though.
Okay.
Donna?
I won't forget what you said.
That fear is what makes us heroes.
I promise I'll always
do my best to be brave.
I love you, Donna.
That doesn't get any better, does it?
No. [LAUGHING]
It does not.
And that, it seems, is the end of that.
- [BLOWING NOTE]
- [LAUGHING]
I say we go for bottle number two.
My dear, I cannot find it
in my heart to disagree.
I can I-I can get it.
[CHUCKLES]
Ah
[BLOWS RASPBERRY]
Can I ask you something?
Fire away. [CHUCKLES]
Why were you staring at that
suit in the Sheriff's Station?
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry. I didn't
I didn't mean to pry.
No, it's all right, it's just
the man who wore that suit.
He did things. To my family.
He did horrible things.
You have family here?
Well, just my son now.
He came here with my
wife and daughter
forty years ago.
And that that man. Where is he now?
Rotting in hell, I hope.
I say we drink to your family.
And to your father.
And to my dad.
[GLASSES CLINK]
Wait.
There has to be something around here
that'll make that taste better.
Uh, there's not. Trust
me. I've-I've looked.
Well, maybe you just
didn't look hard enou
Ow! [GASPS]
What happened?
Just some broken glass.
Ooh, uh, well, now.
That doesn't look too bad. Lemme see.
There's gotta be a clean
rag around here somewhere.
You closed? What're you doin'?
I'm gonna make food for
everyone up at Colony House.
Why?
Donna.
She had a heart attack.
Oh shit.
Um, is she okay?
We don't know yet.
You want some help?
That'd be nice.
Lemme take that.
It's weird doing something normal.
I'd almost forgotten what it was like.
[CHUCKLES]
What do you miss most?
Like, not the obvious
things the little things.
Candy. I I miss candy.
I had a real sweet tooth.
[JULIE LAUGHING]
What?
Nothing.
I'm trying to picture
you on a couch somewhere
eating a box of Milk Duds.
Oh. I was more partial to gummy worms.
Gummy bears.
Really, all things gummy.
I like doughnuts.
Oh, doughnuts.
Yeah, I forgot about doughnuts.
There was this this store
that my dad used to take
me this doughnut shop
when I was a little girl.
Just me and him.
A stupid daddy/daughter thing.
But one day I
I told him I didn't want to go anymore.
I just wanted to hang
out with my friends.
I wish that I
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Before, you said
you understood what I went through.
How?
Something here convinced me
that I could still help my dad.
Like, I could go back to
the day it happened and
I could I could save him.
I can't do that. Can I?
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Hey.
Any news?
No. No, nothing. Nothing yet.
You, uh, you talk to Fatima?
Yeah.
And?
Well, my wife is building a
monster in a room full of dirt.
Hmm.
And, yet, I think it's exactly
what she needs right now.
Yeah.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
She awake?
No, not yet.
You can go sit with her if you want.
[EQUIPMENT BEEPING]
Hey.
I'll give you some space.
All right.
If anything changes, you let me know.
Yeah.
- I'll just be outside.
- Okay.
All right, you can cut the
shit now and open your eyes.
I want you to listen to me.
Okay?
I cannot
I cannot do this without you.
So you better wake the
hell up, you hear me?
We got things to do, you and me.
I'm not saying goodbye, you understand?
I ain't fucking saying goodbye.
[FATHER KHATRI] What are you
gonna do if she doesn't wake up?
What the hell kinda question is that?
A practical one.
[BAKTA] Make sure you
get those nice and thin.
I said I'd help,
not cut off my fingers
for a pot of your stew.
It's really good stew.
Mm-hm.
Uh, make them a little bit chunkier.
Why are you lurking
over there in the corner?
Get in here and chop some veggies.
- Oh, no, I was
- I wasn't askin'.
Okay.
We're a handsome fuckin' pair, huh?
- [EQUIPMENT BEEPING]
- You remember the night
that me, Abby, and
Ellis rolled into town?
Yeah. Pretty sure Abby
wanted you to shoot me.
You scared the shit out of us!
Runnin' into the middle of the street
like a goddamn lunatic!
Then you bring us down
into some dugout bunker
and there was Donna.
And Dale Dale, Dale
was there too. You know.
Remember the first
question Donna asked me?
No.
"Do any of you snore?"
I didn't know what the
fuck she was talking about.
We just heard monsters
screeching in the forest
and then climbed into a hole,
and this lady is talking about snoring.
Then she looked at me,
calm and steady, and said,
"If you snore, they'll find us."
Right there in the
middle of all the fear,
the disbelief, the
pants-shitting chaos,
little voice in the back of
my head said, "This one
yeah, she knows how to survive.
We might be okay."
That's what got me through that night.
The darkest, scariest night of my life,
and she's the one
that got me through it.
I don't think I ever told her that.
We, did we bump heads in the beginning.
She made it very clear that
she did not like me at all.
No sir.
So, what changed?
I don't know, I like to think that
we got to know each other a little.
The answer is, I don't have
the slightest fucking idea.
Answer to what?
You asked me what I was gonna do
if she didn't wake up.
Then it's time to get these people home.
Look, this might not be
the moment to bring this up,
but Jade already told
you what you need to do.
You're really just gonna
ignore that over a missing door?
I mean, the fact that Donna's
lying here right now
You're right. This is
not the goddamn moment!
Boyd?

You're okay. You're okay.

Thank you.
Yeah.

Yeah.
[PATTY] Guys, she's awake!
Hey. She's okay?
Yeah. Yeah, she is.
- Okay.
- She's, uh yeah.
Okay.
I'll be I'll be right back.
Uh, there you go. Good as new.
Sort of.
Should we drink to my good health?
Why not?
[GLASSES CLINK]
Ooh. That one had some kick.
[COUGHS]
You know what I was thinking, Henry?
I do not.
But I am near certain
you are about to tell me.
It's the strangest thought,
but I just can't shake it.
You know, we're trapped in
a town we can't escape from,
surrounded by monsters that
come from the forest at night.
None of it feels real, does it?
Have you ever wondered if
maybe this is all just a dream?
[BOYD MUTTERING]
[SIGHS]
[FATHER KHATRI] Great news about Donna.
It's just too bad about Roger.
You can't let me have a
fuckin' minute, can you?
[SIGHS]
Oh, I'm sorry.
Take as much time as you
need. I'm sure it's fine.
It's not as though murderous dolls
climbed out of a lake
and attacked your people.
All right.
What Tabitha said about people's fears,
their nightmares becoming
part of the forest
after they die, is that true?
I think it might be, yeah.
"Tip of the spear."
What's that?
This guy named Martin once told me
that those things that come at night,
they're just the tip of the spear.
The bones of those kids,
are they down there?
- Are they in the tunnels?
- I don't know.
What the fuck do you know?!
[FATHER KHATRI] That
you're running out of time.
Hey, how am I supposed
to take people down
into those tunnels, when
I don't have a fucking clue
if what Jade saw is even real?
Some things you just
have to take on faith.

[JADE] Boyd.
I think the mushrooms kicked in.
[VOMITS]
Oh.
Show me what I used to know.
[VIOLIN PLAYING]
It's me. When I was 12 years-old.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
This is where the
children were sacrificed.
Tell me how we save them
when we've already failed!
Hi, Jade.
No! No!
Anghkooey.
[SCREAMING]
Jade! Jade! Hey, hey!
How the fuck did we get here?
Jade, you never left.
I know what we have to do to go home.
I know how we can save the children.
You can't be serious.
I am telling you it is the only way.
To what? To get everyone killed?
- [GROANS]
- You wanna go into those tunnels
where those things live,
because you think the bones
of those children are buried down there?
Yes!
It's getting late, all right?
We should get some sleep.
Listen, I I understand that
this all seems a little shaky
A "little shaky"?
Is that how you'd describe
this, a little shaky?
We knew going into this, it
was an out-of-the-box swing.
If you're just gonna flatly
reject everything I found
based on how I found it,
then what the fuck
did I even do this for?
All right, all right
All right.
Let's just forget for a
second that you saw all this
during a mushroom-infused
fever dream, let's just
let's just put that aside for a second.
Even if you're right, right,
and the bones are down there
so what?
How does finding bones help us go home?
[POURING DRINK]
I'm not entirely sure yet.
[SNAPPING CAP ON BOTTLE]
Right.
Bones.
Okay, listen to me,
there are countless
examples throughout history
of cultures, of religions
that hold the remains
the remains of the
deceased in great reverence.
What do you think the Egyptians
mummified their rulers for?
This place, this fucking
nightmare that we are stuck in,
was built
on a sacrifice.
What if the bones
are what anchor the spirits
of those children here?
I mean, have you ever
wondered why those creatures
never come out of the
tunnels during the day?
What if they're down there
protecting the very thing
that makes this place possible?
Which brings me back to the part
where you get everyone killed.
Nah. Not if we do it right.
Oh. Okay.
Tell me what the right version
of this plan looks like.
Well, I mean, that's
sort of where you come in.
Look, I realize that there are
a lot of things in your head
right now that may turn
out to be really important.
But look at it from where I'm standing.
You want me to help
plan a suicide mission
because of some things that
you saw in a mushroom trip!
What do I have to do,
what do I have to do to
prove to you this is real?
[BOYD] Yeah, I don't know.
[SIGHS]
- [JADE] The door.
- What?
You and I went into the
basement in Colony House.
I already told you,
we didn't go anywhere.
Yeah, that's right, we didn't.
And I've never been inside
the basement at Colony House
so I would have no way of knowing
what it looks like down there.
Jade, describing the
basement of Colony House
isn't gonna prove
[JADE] There was a hidden door.
Do you remember seeing any doors
in the basement of Colony House?
No.
So if we go there,
and we find that door,
would you at least consider
what I'm telling you
about these bones is true?
It'd be a start.
[VIEW-MASTER CLICKING]
[BOYD] Come on. Here you go. All right.
Explain to me why this was
fun for your generation?
- We didn't have phones.
- Interesting.
It's like social media
from the Stone Age.
This is it! This, this
is the basement I saw.
It's a little more organized.
Yeah, we're trying to build a narrative
for the people that came before us.
See if we missed anything
Boyd's just trying to keep me busy
because he knows that
I want to kill myself.
Oh. How's that going?
I haven't slit my wrists yet.
So it's going well then.
What do you need?
I'm looking for a secret door that I saw
while I was on mushrooms
I found in the forest.
People have strange conversations here.
Yahtzee!
Come on! Gimme a hand!
[BOYD] Okay.
[JADE] Come on!
Just gimme a hand! Come on!

maybe it's just a metaphor.
Maybe the bones were a metaphor.
No! No! Listen. Look.
I understand that you have doubts.
Okay, if the situation were
reversed, I'd have doubts too.
And I realize what I'm
suggesting is incredibly risky
It's fucking suicide.
Maybe Maybe for some, yeah.
Oh, you're okay with that?
What, we lose a couple of people?
Maybe a dozen? How
many is too many, Jade?
How many people are
gonna die if you keep
sitting on your goddamn
hands doing nothing?
How many have you already lost, huh?
What the fuck did you say to me?
Say it again! Go ahead! Say it again!
Boyd, there is only so long
that you can hold this place together
with grit and good intentions.
At some point, something's gonna give.
Something's gonna change.
You're gonna lose this
whole fucking town.
Don't push me, Jade.
This is our chance, Boyd.
I went looking for answers
and I found answers.
This is our shot.
[KENNY] What was that about?
Let's go outside.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
So, Jade thinks that
digging up these bones
is gonna somehow help us get home?
If the bones are even down
there in the first place, yeah.
That's his theory.
And Jade and Tabitha have
these memories because
- reincarnation.
- Yeah.
Boyd, what do you think?

I got worms under my skin,
or before I found magic
rocks in the forest
that protect us from
monsters, what the
Oh, look, I wasn't

exactly been quiet lately.
They have not.

[WIND BLOWING]
[BIRD SINGING]
Pretty nice view.
What are you doing up here?
When I was a boy, a
man jumped from here.
He hated this place so much,
and he was so scared all the
time, so one day he jumped.
It took days for him to finally die.
He was trying to fix things
but he just made them worse.
Are you here because
of what I told my dad?
Yeah.
I shouldn't have told him any of that.
[BOYD] Hey, Victor.
The man in the suit,
he came here just like everybody else.
Is there anything else
you can remember about him?
Hey, hey, Vi-ctor.
I can try.
Okay.
Why don't we go inside?
[SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[JULIE] Sara.
Julie.
Hi.
Uh, what's the paint for?
I wanted to do something
nice for Sophia.
Make her feel more at home.
Nathan always used to
say, "A fresh coat of paint
will fix all your woes."
I I don't know what
color's in the cans.
Uh, look, I just
wanted to say I'm sorry.
I didn't really understand
what you went through.
But I think I do now.
Yeah. Just wanted to say sorry.
Do you wanna help?
I have an extra brush. Come on inside.
This man in yellow
you told your dad he came to town
just like everybody else.
We thought his suit was funny.
He seemed like a nice man.
Was he alone when he came here?
Yes. I think so
I don't know, I'm not sure.
Do you remember what
kind of car he came in?
It was big. It was brown.
Big and brown.
Is that one of the cars
you took out to the woods?
I didn't want to see it.
Okay.
Hey. You think you could
go out there with us,
and show us which one it is?
Victor, hey, hey, Victor.
I'm not gonna make you do anything
that you don't wanna do, okay?
We just need to get as
much information as we can.
We need to find out if
this guy, this man
whatever he is if it's something
that we've gotta worry about.
Just trying to keep everybody safe.
Will you help me do that?

- [MURMURS IN SURPRISE]
- Hey, it's
- [KENNY] It's okay.
- Okay.
- [DONNA] Boyd?
You in there?
Wha
Hey. What are you doing back so soon?
Uh, you need to come down to the shed.
Uh
Hey, you doin' okay?
[ETHAN] Have you seen Victor?
Yeah. He's up in his room.
Where's Ellis?
He's fine. He went
inside to check on Fatima.
Patty's down at the clinic.
She got pretty banged up.
How?
Let's, uh, go inside.
The fuck Donna. Who is that?
It was Roger.
I don't know how else to say this,
so I'm just gonna say it.
We were attacked by giant
dolls that came out of the lake.
And these are not just decorative.
Tabitha used it to
kill one of the dolls.
Drove it right through the fucker.
the rest just walked away.
Sadly,
that was after they got a hold of Roger.
We found his body this morning.
Oh. Jesus.
We left some food back
up at the settlement
so we could bring back the totems.
We figured they'd be worth
more than a few bags of turnips.
Anybody need a drink?
'Cause I need a drink.
Say something.
It's just a lot to take in.
I'm not crazy.
No, I no, I know.
I know. That's not
After everything that
this place has done to you,
with everything that this
place is still doing to you,
I just don't understand
what's happening, okay?
And I just I feel like
there is just so much more
that I should be doing to help.
And I feel I feel like I
am the one that's failing here.
- No
- No, I know.
That's And I'm not just
I'm not just saying that
so that you'll
look, just
just help me understand.
Um
growing up, there were a lot of times
when I was afraid.
A lot of times when I felt powerless.
But those stories, about the Jinn,
Vishnu and Krishna,
the Golem of Prague
I understand now why my
father told me those stories.
The world was so fucking scary,
but if I could believe
in magical things,
then that was something no
one could ever take away.
Look, we have seen so much darkness.
We've lived with so much fear.
I need to believe in magical things.
[EXHALES]
[VICTOR MURMURS]
Victor?
Hi.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to remember stuff.
Bad stuff.
Is this about the suit
we found in the forest?
Why did you get so scared?
I don't want to tell you that.
Why not?
Because I told my dad;
he got he got really upset.
Why?
I just told you I don't
want to tell you that!
Well then, I guess
I'm not gonna tell you
what happened at the settlement.
Fine.
Can I draw with you?
[SIGHS]
Yes.
The lake had monsters in it.
What kind of monsters?
Giant dolls.
Really?
What did What did your Mom do?
My mom killed one.
Your mom's Your mom's pretty tough.
Yeah.
Well, my mom was pretty tough too.
You know, she was always
she always smiled, even
even if she was scared.
Because she knew that we
would be scared if she didn't.
I don't think my dad's that strong.
Excuse me? Have you seen the Sheriff?
No, he, um
Try up at Colony House maybe.
Thanks.
Your name is Henry, right?
That's right.
You look troubled, Henry.
Well, it's been a bit of a day.
Excuse me.
Ah, you again, huh?
Why is there a bar
inside of a gas station?
Better question is, why
is there a gas station
in a town where no one can leave?
That's a good point.
[POURING DRINK]
Who makes the alcohol?
It's my understanding
there used to be a bartender here.
He's dead now, of course.
Do you mind if I join you?
[STAMMERS]
I'm sorry; I didn't mean to bother you.
No, uh, sit, please.
I didn't I didn't mean to be rude.
[SIGHS]
I get it. Trust me.
It's kind of amazing that
anyone here has the capacity
to do anything even remotely
Here's to the resiliency
of the human spirit.
Let's be resilient together.
I'd like that.
How old are you?
Old enough to have buried my dad.
Old enough to grieve.
Touché.
[GLASSES CLINK]
[BOYD] All right, so you're
saying that those things
that attacked you, right?
You're saying
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
What are you saying?
They were my dolls.
I was a little girl.
The man who took them
from me was afraid of them.
He said they gave him nightmares.
So he threw them in the lake.
But then, when the man died
somehow they came to life.
[KENNY] Our fears become
part of the forest.
So What?
When the cicadas were all over town,
Sara told me Nathan had
always been terrified of them.
She thought that maybe
the people who die here,
that their fears, their nightmares
become part of the forest.
I think she was right.
- Goddammit!
- Donna
How are we gonna tell people?
How are we gonna tell
them that they not only
have to worry about those
smiling pieces of shit
that come out at night,
but now we have literal
fucking nightmares
that we can't even protect them from!
How much more can people
take before they just
Why don't you just have a seat?
No, look. I just need to
splash some water on my face.

suit in the Sheriff's Station?
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry. I didn't
I didn't mean to pry.
No, it's all right, it's just
the man who wore that suit.
He did things. To my family.
He did horrible things.
You have family here?
Well, just my son now.
He came here with my
wife and daughter
forty years ago.
And that that man. Where is he now?
Rotting in hell, I hope.
I say we drink to your family.
And to your father.
And to my dad.
[GLASSES CLINK]
Wait.
There has to be something around here
that'll make that taste better.
Uh, there's not. Trust
me. I've-I've looked.
Well, maybe you just
didn't look hard enou
Ow! [GASPS]
What happened?
Just some broken glass.
Ooh, uh, well, now.
That doesn't look too bad. Lemme see.
There's gotta be a clean
rag around here somewhere.
You closed? What're you doin'?
I'm gonna make food for
everyone up at Colony House.
Why?
Donna.
She had a heart attack.
Oh shit.
Um, is she okay?
We don't know yet.
You want some help?
That'd be nice.
Lemme take that.
It's weird doing something normal.
I'd almost forgotten what it was like.
[CHUCKLES]
What do you miss most?
Like, not the obvious
things the little things.
Candy. I I miss candy.
I had a real sweet tooth.
[JULIE LAUGHING]
What?
Nothing.
I'm trying to picture
you on a couch somewhere
eating a box of Milk Duds.
Oh. I was more partial to gummy worms.
Gummy bears.
Really, all things gummy.
I like doughnuts.
Oh, doughnuts.
Yeah, I forgot about doughnuts.
There was this this store
that my dad used to take
me this doughnut shop
when I was a little girl.
Just me and him.
A stupid daddy/daughter thing.
But one day I
I told him I didn't want to go anymore.
I just wanted to hang
out with my friends.
I wish that I
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Before, you said
you understood what I went through.
How?
Something here convinced me
that I could still help my dad.
Like, I could go back to
the day it happened and
I could I could save him.
I can't do that. Can I?
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Hey.
Any news?
No. No, nothing. Nothing yet.
You, uh, you talk to Fatima?
Yeah.
And?
Well, my wife is building a
monster in a room full of dirt.
Hmm.
And, yet, I think it's exactly
what she needs right now.
Yeah.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
She awake?
No, not yet.
You can go sit with her if you want.
[EQUIPMENT BEEPING]
Hey.
I'll give you some space.
All right.
If anything changes, you let me know.
Yeah.
- I'll just be outside.
- Okay.
All right, you can cut the
shit now and open your eyes.
I want you to listen to me.
Okay?
I cannot
I cannot do this without you.
So you better wake the
hell up, you hear me?
We got things to do, you and me.
I'm not saying goodbye, you understand?
I ain't fucking saying goodbye.
[FATHER KHATRI] What are you
gonna do if she doesn't wake up?
What the hell kinda question is that?
A practical one.
[BAKTA] Make sure you
get those nice and thin.
I said I'd help,
not cut off my fingers
for a pot of your stew.
It's really good stew.
Mm-hm.
Uh, make them a little bit chunkier.
Why are you lurking
over there in the corner?
Get in here and chop some veggies.
- Oh, no, I was
- I wasn't askin'.
Okay.
We're a handsome fuckin' pair, huh?
- [EQUIPMENT BEEPING]
- You remember the night
that me, Abby, and
Ellis rolled into town?
Yeah. Pretty sure Abby
wanted you to shoot me.
You scared the shit out of us!
Runnin' into the middle of the street
like a goddamn lunatic!
Then you bring us down
into some dugout bunker
and there was Donna.
And Dale Dale, Dale
was there too. You know.
Remember the first
question Donna asked me?
No.
"Do any of you snore?"
I didn't know what the
fuck she was talking about.
We just heard monsters
screeching in the forest
and then climbed into a hole,
and this lady is talking about snoring.
Then she looked at me,
calm and steady, and said,
"If you snore, they'll find us."
Right there in the
middle of all the fear,
the disbelief, the
pants-shitting chaos,
little voice in the back of
my head said, "This one
yeah, she knows how to survive.
We might be okay."
That's what got me through that night.
The darkest, scariest night of my life,
and she's the one
that got me through it.
I don't think I ever told her that.
We, did we bump heads in the beginning.
She made it very clear that
she did not like me at all.
No sir.
So, what changed?
I don't know, I like to think that
we got to know each other a little.
The answer is, I don't have
the slightest fucking idea.
Answer to what?
You asked me what I was gonna do
if she didn't wake up.
Then it's time to get these people home.
Look, this might not be
the moment to bring this up,
but Jade already told
you what you need to do.
You're really just gonna
ignore that over a missing door?
I mean, the fact that Donna's
lying here right now
You're right. This is
not the goddamn moment!
Boyd?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Oh, hey, hey, hey,
hey. Oh, shh, shh, shh.
- It's okay.
- [MURMURS]
No, no, no, no. You're okay.
- Boyd?
- Hey, do hey. You're here.
You're okay Kristi!
You're here. You're here.
- What?
- Get in here, get in, get in.
You're okay. You're okay.
- Hey.
- You're all right.
Donna? Hey, Donna.
[MOANS] Oh, God.
I know. Can you look at me? Donna?
- [BOYD] Hey, hey.
- [KRISTI] Just breathe.
- Good.
- [DONNA MOANS]
Yeah.
You need to squeeze my hands, okay?
[QUIET INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Okay.
- Uh, Dad?
- Uh, yeah.
Uh, she's awake.
- Oh my God.
- [INDISTINCT RELIEVED CHATTER]
[BOYD] She's uh hey, would you, uh
- Okay.
- Would you tell everybody?
Thank you.
Yeah.
[PATTY] Hey, guys, she's awake!
Yeah. Hey, did you hear that?
Yeah.
[PATTY] Guys, she's awake!
Hey. She's okay?
Yeah. Yeah, she is.
- Okay.
- She's, uh yeah.
Okay.
I'll be I'll be right back.
Uh, there you go. Good as new.
Sort of.
Should we drink to my good health?
Why not?
[GLASSES CLINK]
Ooh. That one had some kick.
[COUGHS]
You know what I was thinking, Henry?
I do not.
But I am near certain
you are about to tell me.
It's the strangest thought,
but I just can't shake it.
You know, we're trapped in
a town we can't escape from,
surrounded by monsters that
come from the forest at night.
None of it feels real, does it?
Have you ever wondered if
maybe this is all just a dream?
[BOYD MUTTERING]
[SIGHS]
[FATHER KHATRI] Great news about Donna.
It's just too bad about Roger.
You can't let me have a
fuckin' minute, can you?
[SIGHS]
Oh, I'm sorry.
Take as much time as you
need. I'm sure it's fine.
It's not as though murderous dolls
climbed out of a lake
and attacked your people.
All right.
What Tabitha said about people's fears,
their nightmares becoming
part of the forest
after they die, is that true?
I think it might be, yeah.
"Tip of the spear."
What's that?
This guy named Martin once told me
that those things that come at night,
they're just the tip of the spear.
The bones of those kids,
are they down there?
- Are they in the tunnels?
- I don't know.
What the fuck do you know?!
[FATHER KHATRI] That
you're running out of time.
Hey, how am I supposed
to take people down
into those tunnels, when
I don't have a fucking clue
if what Jade saw is even real?
Some things you just
have to take on faith.
I
[GROWLING]
Not with something like this.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
You wanna fuck with me? Huh?
[SHOUTS WITH EFFORT]
You wanna test me, huh?
[SHOUTS WITH EFFORT]
- [SHOUTS WITH EFFORT]
- [CLANGING]
What the hell?
- [SHOUTS WITH EFFORT]
- [BANGING]
You wanna fuck with me?
[SHOUTS WITH EFFORT]
You want me to go down in those tunnels?
[SHOUTS WITH EFFORT]
You want me to risk people's lives?
Then show me the fucking door!
[SHOUTS WITH EFFORT]
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
Holy shit.
We're gonna need a plan.
