- [GUN FIRING]
- Abby, stop! No!
[GASPS]
Still seeing things that aren't there?
No. No, just the one time.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[GASPS]
I've been here before.
Many, many times.
I was Victor's mother.
[VICTOR] Last time, you
brought a boy and a girl,
and everyone died, but not the boy.
You're here with a boy and a girl again,
and the Man in Yellow is back.
- Mom, what does that mean?
- No, it's fine.
- You have to be prepared, Ethan.
- Hey, Victor.
- You have to know what's coming.
- No, Victor. You need to stop!
What's wrong with you?
That thing I carried inside me,
I still feel it, like we're connected.
Part of me feels what he feels.
Oh, no.
[ROARS]
No!
You wanna go down in those tunnels,
where those things
live because you think
the bones of those children
are buried down there?
Yes! What if the bones
are what anchor the spirits
of those children here?
Tell me what the right version
of this plan looks like.
I'm not entirely sure yet.
Here's to the resiliency
of the human spirit.
Let's be resilient together.
Have you ever wondered if
maybe this is all just a dream?
[MONITOR BEEPING]
He's back. Blink twice
if you can hear me.
Dad.
- V
- Dad, stay with me.
Henry! [SNAPS]
Hey.
[WHISPERING INDISTINCT INCANTATION]
It's time to play.
- [ROARS]
- I know you're still inside!
[ROARS]
[ROARS IN PAIN]
[SCREAMING] What the
fuck just happened?!
[WEEPING]
[CHATTERING]
We're sure he's actually
dead this time, right?
He was dead before.
Anybody hurt?
Steve got pretty banged up.
It would've been a lot
worse if it wasn't for Elgin.
Elgin?
He's the one who stabbed it
I mean, him.
Stop telling me to calm
down! We're not fucking safe!
Hey, will you just take it outside?
Hey, Donna, you should be in bed.
No, no, no, no. [STAMMERS]
I'm fine. This is more important.
People are just starting
to realize that talismans
won't protect them against everything.
We'll manage. Just you figure out
how to get the bones without
getting half the town killed.
Did the totem work?
Sorry?
The totems from the settlement.
You said that you were gonna see
if they could hurt the
monsters that come out at night.
Did it work?
No.
That's too bad.
- Yeah.
- Dad?
Uh, can you come upstairs for a second?
- Excuse me.
- And, uh,
Donna, you should probably
come too, if you're up for it.
Uh, what do we do with the body?
Burn it.
Okay, so, you're saying
that you saw Kenny in trouble.
Look, I didn't just see him, Boyd.
It's like I was there.
I was seeing through his eyes.
Through And you think
that you're the reason that
thing didn't kill Kenny.
I don't think, Boyd; I know I was.
- Uh
- [ELLIS] And there's more.
Show 'em.
Show us what?
After I connected with
that thing, I felt
I don't know how to describe it.
I felt something go
cold inside me.
Okay.
- [SIGHS]
- Wh ?
This morning I saw this.

[TABITHA] Ethan?
Whatcha doing?
Drawing.
Victor always said that
the pictures remember.
So, when everyone dies
and I'm here by myself, I
don't want to forget anyone.
I know.
What Victor said
yesterday, he was upset.
I know.
What happened to him was awful,
but that doesn't mean
that's gonna happen to you.
He said I needed to be prepared,
so I'm getting prepared.
[ELLIS] Okay. Come on.
I'll meet you guys down there.
And, hey, we're gonna figure this out.
I know.
Okay.
What What am I looking at here?
It's It's a model of the tunnels.
I understand that. But why is having
a model better than drawing a map?
I put a lot of work into this.
It's not a fucking science fair, Jade!
Oh, for fuck's sake!
All right, you know what?
This model incorporates everything,
everything we know about the tunnels,
everything I got from
being down there myself,
everything Victor and
Tabitha could give me.
The path you took, right?
From the root cellar
Okay.
Okay, well, given all that,
I got a few different scenarios
for how we can do this,
ranging on a sliding scale
of safety and complexity.
So, you wanna hear the simple
but super dangerous ones first,
or should I start with the safer,
but more complex and
possibly impossible ones?
This is the chamber where
the bones are buried, right?
Correct.
And this tunnel,
this is the only way in
or out of that chamber?
Yes.
We don't have a plan.
Well, wait, wait. He
hasn't even had a chance
Hey, when I was in the army,
we'd call something like this
a shooting gallery,
because once the enemy's inside,
we are fish in a fuckin' barrel.
Even if we can get past those
things without waking them up,
we get into the chamber,
we dig up the bones,
what happens when they wake
up while we're in there?
What happens when they block our
only exit out of that chamber?
- You need to do better.
- [SCOFFS]
How?
I don't know. I'm not the genius.
Figure it out.
Sure. While I'm at it,
why don't I just build
a fucking hot air balloon
and fly us all out of here?
That'd be great.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Hey!
You didn't even listen
to what he had to say.
I didn't need to.
Kenny, you never go into a hostile space
without a secondary exit, period. Okay?
I got it. So, what do we do?
We already told people
that finding those bones
might be the key to
getting everyone home.
Maybe we go on a scouting mission.
Take one or two people
down into the tunnels,
see if there's a crack or a crevice
in that chamber that we missed somehow.
'Kay. If there's not?
I don't know.
Listen, if we're gonna do
this, we have to do it right.
I'm not gonna lead people
down there, and I can't
[GUN FIRING]
Boyd?
What's wrong?
What? Nothing. I
Uh, I gotta go to the clinic.
I told Ellis I'd meet them up there.
Is Fatima okay?
I don't know.
Henry. You need something?
I, um
What's going on over there?
Boyd wants to go through
everything in storage.
Well, what are they looking for?
Anything to do with that
yellow suit Victor found?
Oh.
You okay?
I need something to do.
I've been, uh
Well, I've been drinking a bit lately.
I think it's starting to
Hm.
Anyway, I figured if I
could keep myself occupied
Mm.
Um, I'm not too bad
in a kitchen, if you
How 'bout you give me a hand with lunch?
I'd like that. Thank you.
Okay.
[JONI MITCHELL "BLUE"
PLAYING ON JUKEBOX]
Ah, don't worry,
you'll get used to that.
Come on.
[JONI MITCHELL "BLUE"

[JONI MITCHELL "BLUE"

It does that sometimes.
That tape's been stuck
in there for years.
"Blue" was Miranda's favorite song.
tattoos ♪
You know I've been ♪
To sea before ♪
It never used to be like this, you know.
It was always scary,
but this
I really hope Boyd's right
about getting those bones.
Me, too.
[DOOR OPENS]
[KNOCKING]
Who is it?
[TABITHA] Open the door, Victor.
Tell him it's not true.
Which part?
The part about him being here alone.
Tell him it's not gonna happen.
I can't do that.
Victor, you don't understand.
It's not helping; it's scaring him.
Will you teach me?
What?
I want him to teach me how
to survive when I'm alone.
You're not going to
be here alone, Ethan!
You don't know that.
What he said yesterday was true.
Miranda was here with him and Eloise.
Now, you're here with me and Julie.
So what? That doesn't mean anything!
It might.
It won't be as scary
if I know what to do.
Please.
It's a good idea.
Okay. Fine.
[KRISTI] Okay, yeah.
I'm not seeing any internal damage.
All due respect, you
didn't see the baby either.
Ellis!
No, he's right.
There's not much I can
tell you other than that,
physically, you're not
in any immediate danger.
So, what is it, then?
Well, I mean, if we
were anywhere but here,
I would say those are varicose veins
from abdominal distension,
but we're here, so
we are well beyond a standard diagnosis.
[SIGHS]
Those things, you said
they used to be human.
When you did the autopsy,
you said all the organs
inside were human.
Is it possible that
I'm turning into one of them?
No.
No, that's
That's not what's happening.
Tell her tell her
that's not what's happening.
Can you make it stop?
Ellis, we don't even know what it is.
It might also not be a bad thing.
Excuse me?
Kenny is alive because of this;
she saved his life.
Maybe stopping it is not
what we should be focusing on.
Do you see her stomach?
Does Does any of this look like a
good fucking thing to you?
What are you talking about?
For all we know, this could be
a temporary side effect. Right?
But what's not temporary
is the fact that someone
who would otherwise be
dead is walking around today
because of what this
allowed Fatima to do, okay?
Can you not see how
this might be helpful?
No! I can't see how it
could be fucking helpful!
- Hey!
- Okay, enough, everybody!
Let's just all take a breath.
Hey, Fatima, I wanna keep
you here for observation.
We can monitor your
vitals and keep an eye out
for any significant changes.
Why don't you go pack a few things,
enough for a few days,
and we'll take it from there. Okay?
[JADE] Yeah, there's only
one, one way to enter.
[EXHALES, GROANS]
You don't know that; you've
only been down there once!
Yes, and the image of that chamber
is seared into my fucking brain!
There's one entrance, that's it!
There's no version of this
where we go spelunking
and realize, "Oh, hey,
there's a convenient exit
we didn't see before!"
For all we know, they buried
the bones in that chamber
for exactly that reason.
Okay, well, maybe we could have,
like maybe we can find
Kenny. Kenny, Kenny. Listen to me. Look.
I say this with love, okay?
You being here right
now, it's not helping.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm the problem.
Kenny, stop!
Boyd listens to you, okay?
You have to make him realize
that this may not be the kind
of plan where everybody
who goes in comes out.
So, you want me to go back
to Boyd and tell him that he
just needs to accept the fact
that people are gonna die?
- Maybe.
- I'm not doing that.
Well, then, we're not
fucking going home!
There is a reason that no one
has ever gotten out of here,
and maybe that reason is
no one has ever been willing
to make the hard decisions before!
Let me guess. You're
gonna be one of the people
going down into the tunnels?
Making the hard decisions?
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Ahh! Fuck!
[GRUNTS]
You motherfucker! Aah!
[CLATTERING]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS]
What are you still doing out here?
[CHUCKLES MIRTHLESSLY]
I'm standing here trying
to work up the courage
to tell you the truth.
I, uh
I lied to you the other day.
You asked me if I was still
seeing things and I said no.
Okay.
It's happening more frequently
seeing things,
hearing things.
I mean, I can't lead this
I can't lead this place if I
can't trust my own fucking
come on!
- Boyd? Hey! Look at me.
- I just
These episodes that
you're talking about,
are they connected
at all to the tremors?
Like like are they
happening at the same time?
I-I don't know. Sometimes, maybe.
I-I haven't really
Boyd, what aren't you telling me?
It's all connected to Abby.
Things that I'm seeing,
that I'm hearing.
The other day I went
to her her grave.
Her fucking hands came out
of the soil and grabbed me.
Jesus.
Look, I know this place gets
into our heads, but this is
this is different.
I keep hearing this gunshot.
You never forget the
sound of the shot that
Hey
Why is it happening now? Right?
I can't fall apart, not now,
not when we might be close
to something real. I just
Okay. What do you want me to do?
Look, give me a pill.
I don't know. Give me
a Band-Aid, something.
I any
If what Jade says is right
about the bones, then,
I just need to keep it
together a little bit longer.
Please, just just give me something
to help me hold it together
a little bit longer.
Boyd, I-I wanna help, I really do.
But, yeah, I don't think
there's anything that I can do.
Okay.
Hello?
Sheriff Boyd?
Are you here?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
Where were you last night!?
I'm I'm so sorry. I, um
I heard about what Boyd was planning,
and I just got scared, and I was
already up by the Colony House
If we're gonna live together,
I need to know where you are at night.
- You can't just
- I'm sorry, I
You've been so nice to me;
I really didn't mean to worry you.
I swear it won't happen again.
What's in the bag?
Nothing. It's just, um
I'm really tired, okay?
Hey.
What's going on?
They're clothes, okay?
I just thought if I could
find a change of clothes,
then then, I wouldn't feel so
But then, I realized
that they're all dead people's clothes,
and none of them fit
right, and I just
I don't think I'm doing very well.
Hey.
It's okay.
It's all right.
You must think I'm so weak.
You're actually handling
things a lot better
than I did when I first got here.
Really?
And I, uh
know where there's a
great stash of clothes.
So, maybe you and I can go
try some on later together?
I'd really like that.
You're a good person, Sara.
I'm gonna be at the diner,
helping them sort through the
storage room, if you need me.
Okay.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
That morning that I came out
of the root cellar, and
when I saw that everyone had died,
that was the first time
I saw the Boy in White.
He told me there were three
things that I would need.
The first was food.
We didn't have all the
stuff that we do now,
like animals and milk
and all that stuff.
So, he brought me here,
and this whole truck
was filled with canned peaches.
Was that all you had
to eat? Canned peaches?
Sometimes, I ate other things.
Plants and bugs;
that was only if I had to.
Come.
I didn't have a can opener at first,
so I figured out how to open them
with this rock.
So, you should hold onto this.
Look.
Yeah.
Ethan, the worst parts
is when you get lonely.
Everything is scarier
when you're lonely.
So, you have to pretend
you're not alone.
That was the second thing
that the Boy in White told me.
And how do you do that?
It was hard at first. I had to
I'd make friends with
things on the truck -
the walls and the floors and the boxes.
I gave them names and
I would talk to them.
But you won't have to do that, though,
because I thought of
something that's much better.
Okay?
Where are you going?
Just Just stay here;
I'm gonna be right back.
[SIGHS]
Is this helping?
A little, I guess.
I realized that I missed my
mother and Eloise the most.
And so, I found these
and I dressed them in their clothes.
And then, for a while,
it felt like that they
were back with me again.
Then, when I then
when I talked to them,
uh, I could imagine
what they would say back,
and then it didn't feel as lonely.
But we We can change them
into your family.
This could be your mom
and this could be Julie.
I know it's a little small, but
but we could maybe
find something bigger.
I didn't find anything for
your dad, but I thought
No. You need to stop it right now.
we could make a scarecrow.
You need to stop it right now, Victor!
What's wrong?
We're done. We're not
doing this anymore.
Stop.
Ethan, listen to me.
You're never going to be alone.
I will never, ever
let that happen to you.
And I swear to you
I'm gonna get you out of here.
That's what my mom thought, too.
- Where do you want this?
- Uh, watches go over there.
Okay.
Oh
You really are pretty good at that.
Ah, well, I This is nice.
I really appreciate
you letting me help out.
Well, it's important to keep busy.
It certainly is.
Especially here.
[CRASHES]
Wha
[HENRY MUMBLES]
- [HENRY MUMBLES]
- [MONITOR BEEPING]
Dad? Dad!
Grandpa's awake again!
[MONITOR BEEPING]
Okay. Get the doctor, quick!
Dad?
Hey, Dad. Stay with me. Dad.
Vi Victor.
Yeah.
What what's happening?
Hey, Dad, you're in a care facility.
Where I am in a
what? No, I was
I was in the diner, where
I was chopping vegetables.
No, Dad, it wasn't real.
I need you to listen to me, okay?
And this might not be
easy for you to hear.
A long time ago,
Mom surprised you on your birthday.
She came home with two hits of acid.
Do you remember that?
Of course I remember.
Okay.
Well, there was a problem.
There was something
wrong with the drugs,
and you had a really bad reaction,
and it was like you just
you weren't there anymore,
and you've been in this
facility ever since.
Who Who was that boy?
That's That's my son,
Sebastian. That's your grandson.
I I have a grandson?
Yeah.
You're gonna stay with us, okay?
I just spoke to Eloise,
and she's getting on a plane,
and she's flying out
to see you right now.
Eloise? She's alive?
Of course she's alive.
[WEEPING]
Do you know she's a school teacher?
A school t
[MONITOR BEEPING]
No, no, it can't be happening.
This no, no, it can't be real.
Dad, Dad, you have to stay with me.
[VOICE ECHOING] No, Dad, stay with me.
Please?
[SARAH] Here. Let me help you with that.
[BAKTA] Oh
You okay?
Uh, I think, uh
I appreciate you letting me
help, but I think I need to go.
Hey, I'm gonna head back down to
What are you doing?
I'm gonna stay with you at the clinic.
You don't have to do that.
Yeah, I know. I just
don't want you to be alone.
That's not why you're coming.
I don't understand how could she say
that any of this could
possibly be a good thing.
What if it is?
- What? Are you serious?
- Ellis, I was so freaked out;
it didn't even occur to me.
I connected with that thing.
I controlled it.
If there is a way I can
figure out how to use that
to help us, why wouldn't I even try?
I understand how you
feel, but that is not
No, you don't. I'm sorry.
With everything's that's happened,
you have no idea how it
feels to feel that powerless
in a place like this,
to feel like you're at the mercy
of these things that have
gotten inside your head,
gotten inside my body!
That thing was inside me.
Can you honestly stand there
and tell me you know how that feels?
- No.
- And now, I may finally
have a way that I can take back control,
that I can fight back,
something that could
actually help us go home!
And you want me to ignore that?
No, I want you to
acknowledge what this thing
might actually fucking do to you!
I don't care what it does to me!
I fucking care!
If I lose you
there is no home
for me to go to anymore.
Ellis
Ah, shit.
I understand that you wanna help,
[SNIFFLES]
and I want you to feel
like you have control again,
but it's
This shit is scaring the hell outta me.
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
Look, the truth is,
what you're afraid of
it may already be happening.
And if if it is,
then I need to be able to
take what good I can from that.
Yeah.
Hey.
Can I talk to you?
Of course.
What was that back there?
What you said to Fatima
was way outta line.
What are you kidding me?
We have no idea what's happening to her.
She's terrified.
That was not the time or
place to go off like that.
Not the time or place? Kristi,
she saved someone's life.
Why am I the only person
who sees the value in that?
I'm not saying there's no value to it.
Then, what are you saying?
Jesus, there are things
that come out of the
woods at night to hunt us.
We need to be finding every
advantage we possibly can.
I'm sorry if my timing
was inappropriate.
I'm saying that we need
to be careful, okay?
This place has a way of making you think
you're doing good things,
things that you think will help.
Yeah, it also has a way of
making you terrified to do anything.
Kristi, I want us to go home.
I want us to live the life
that we were supposed to have.
So, do I.
Then, what are we arguing about?
Look, I-I know we're all scared.
I'm fucking terrified.
But we have no idea what
is happening to Fatima,
and I'm not willing to risk her safety
so that I feel less afraid.
- Kristi
- She is my patient, she's under my care;
if you have something to say
to her, you go through me.
Yeah, just, uh, let me know
if you want me to change
any more sheets or anything.
[EXHALES]
"There's only one way in or out."
[SIGHS]
"That's a shooting
gallery. I was in the army."
[GASPS]
Holy shit.
Boyd?
[BOYD] In here.
What's going on?
Someone was in here.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. The yellow suit is gone.
What?
I got tired of staring
at the goddamn thing,
so I put it in here,
or I thought I did.
Why would someone come in here
just to take the yellow suit?
I don't know, Kenny.
Maybe the guy it belonged to got tired
of walking around naked
in the woods. I don't know.
Do you think maybe Victor
or Henry might have taken it?
[JADE] Boyd!
Boyd! Hey!
Did you take the suit?
- The what?
- The yellow suit,
it's gone.
Forget the suit! I got
it! I fucking got it!
I know how we're getting
in and out of the cavern!
Okay.
The Bottle Tree!
- What?
- Just come! Come with me!
Hello?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
Ethan, let's go.
We can't. We're not done yet.
Listen, Jade and Boyd
are working on a plan right
now to help us get home.
- Come on.
- But what if it doesn't?
Miranda thought she
would get everybody home,
but then everybody died.
How do you know the same
thing won't happen again?
[SIGHS]
Because
things are different this time.
We know things now.
Jade and I
we have memories that
Miranda didn't have.
She tried, Victor.
She tried so hard.
I know because I feel what she felt.
I know how much she loved you.
I know how badly she
wanted to take you home.
She just
didn't have the answers she needed.
But I do.
I have them because of her.
She's the one that led me to the tower,
to your father.
She's the reason why you get to go home.
What?
I don't think I came back
just to free the children.
I came back for you, Victor.
I'm gonna take you home.
So, we're gonna go to town now.
And we're not gonna
draw any more pictures
because neither of you are
ever going to be alone again.
I promise.
You see, the whole the whole
time, I've been focusing on
the entrances and exits
that are there now.
But what I should have
been thinking about
was the exit that used to be there!
What are you talking about?
There was a fucking hole in the ceiling!
And there were these roots
that formed the symbol
uh, you remember the symbol.
Yeah.
Victor said
Victor said those roots became a tree.
This tree.
Gentlemen, we are, at this moment,
standing right above the cavern
those bones are buried in.
You said we couldn't go into the
tunnels without a second exit,
so let's make one.
Wha ? You You
wanna cut down the tree?
I wanna pull it out by the roots.
And before you say that's impossible,
there is a clearing about
a hundred yards from here;
the road isn't too
far from that clearing.
We get the truck and the
van in there, we use
we use every inch of chain we have,
we get some leverage from the
other trees, we do it right,
it'll be like pulling a
stopper out of a bottle.
[MAKES POPPING SOUND] Think about it.
We send one team down there
while those things are asleep,
they get to the chamber,
block the entrance,
they put a talisman up for good measure;
and while they dig for the bones,
there's another team up
here working on the tree.
By the time the bones are
dug up, the tree is out.
We lift everyone up to
safety, get back to town,
we're behind closed doors
by sunset. Easy peasy.
Boyd, that that could work.
Boyd?
What happens
when the first group is down there,
and the tree doesn't come out?
What happens if the chain breaks
or-or if we don't have enough leverage?
That's never gonna happen.
Wait. You know that for sure?
Because what I wanna
know is what's plan B
when the tree doesn't come out
and we have five or six people
barricaded in a death trap
with no place else to go?
- Plan B?
- [BOYD] Yeah.
[EXHALES]
You-You asked for a solution
to an impossible problem.
I am serving it to you
on a goddamn platter!
Now, you're asking for a plan B?
- That's right.
- All right, okay
No! Let me make this as
clear as I can possibly can.
I am not sending people
down into those tunnels
with nothing but a hope and a prayer
that we pull the magic
tree out by its roots!
Landscaping is not a plan!

people going into those tunnels.

No, Boyd. Look at me.

you saved Ellis.

Victor always said that

So, when everyone dies
and I'm here by myself, I
don't want to forget anyone.
I know.
What Victor said
yesterday, he was upset.
I know.
What happened to him was awful,
but that doesn't mean
that's gonna happen to you.
He said I needed to be prepared,
so I'm getting prepared.
[ELLIS] Okay. Come on.
I'll meet you guys down there.
And, hey, we're gonna figure this out.
I know.
Okay.
What What am I looking at here?
It's It's a model of the tunnels.
I understand that. But why is having
a model better than drawing a map?
I put a lot of work into this.
It's not a fucking science fair, Jade!
Oh, for fuck's sake!
All right, you know what?
This model incorporates everything,
everything we know about the tunnels,
everything I got from
being down there myself,
everything Victor and
Tabitha could give me.
The path you took, right?
From the root cellar
Okay.
Okay, well, given all that,
I got a few different scenarios
for how we can do this,
ranging on a sliding scale
of safety and complexity.
So, you wanna hear the simple
but super dangerous ones first,
or should I start with the safer,
but more complex and
possibly impossible ones?
This is the chamber where
the bones are buried, right?
Correct.
And this tunnel,
this is the only way in
or out of that chamber?
Yes.
We don't have a plan.
Well, wait, wait. He
hasn't even had a chance
Hey, when I was in the army,
we'd call something like this
a shooting gallery,
because once the enemy's inside,
we are fish in a fuckin' barrel.
Even if we can get past those
things without waking them up,
we get into the chamber,
we dig up the bones,
what happens when they wake
up while we're in there?
What happens when they block our
only exit out of that chamber?
- You need to do better.
- [SCOFFS]
How?
I don't know. I'm not the genius.
Figure it out.
Sure. While I'm at it,
why don't I just build
a fucking hot air balloon
and fly us all out of here?
That'd be great.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Hey!
You didn't even listen
to what he had to say.
I didn't need to.
Kenny, you never go into a hostile space
without a secondary exit, period. Okay?
I got it. So, what do we do?
We already told people
that finding those bones
might be the key to
getting everyone home.
Maybe we go on a scouting mission.
Take one or two people
down into the tunnels,
see if there's a crack or a crevice
in that chamber that we missed somehow.
'Kay. If there's not?
I don't know.
Listen, if we're gonna do
this, we have to do it right.
I'm not gonna lead people
down there, and I can't

everything in storage.

I can't do that.
Victor, you don't understand.
It's not helping; it's scaring him.
Will you teach me?
What?
I want him to teach me how
to survive when I'm alone.
You're not going to
be here alone, Ethan!
You don't know that.
What he said yesterday was true.
Miranda was here with him and Eloise.
Now, you're here with me and Julie.
So what? That doesn't mean anything!
It might.
It won't be as scary
if I know what to do.

It's a good idea.
Okay. Fine.
[KRISTI] Okay, yeah.
I'm not seeing any internal damage.
All due respect, you
didn't see the baby either.
Ellis!
No, he's right.
There's not much I can
tell you other than that,
physically, you're not
in any immediate danger.
So, what is it, then?
Well, I mean, if we
were anywhere but here,
I would say those are varicose veins
from abdominal distension,
but we're here, so
we are well beyond a standard diagnosis.
[SIGHS]
Those things, you said
they used to be human.
When you did the autopsy,
you said all the organs
inside were human.
Is it possible that
I'm turning into one of them?
No.
No, that's
That's not what's happening.
Tell her tell her
that's not what's happening.
Can you make it stop?
Ellis, we don't even know what it is.
It might also not be a bad thing.
Excuse me?
Kenny is alive because of this;
she saved his life.
Maybe stopping it is not
what we should be focusing on.
Do you see her stomach?
Does Does any of this look like a
good fucking thing to you?
What are you talking about?
For all we know, this could be
a temporary side effect. Right?
But what's not temporary
is the fact that someone
who would otherwise be
dead is walking around today
because of what this
allowed Fatima to do, okay?
Can you not see how
this might be helpful?
No! I can't see how it
could be fucking helpful!
- Hey!
- Okay, enough, everybody!
Let's just all take a breath.
Hey, Fatima, I wanna keep
you here for observation.
We can monitor your
vitals and keep an eye out
for any significant changes.
Why don't you go pack a few things,
enough for a few days,
and we'll take it from there. Okay?
[JADE] Yeah, there's only
one, one way to enter.
[EXHALES, GROANS]
You don't know that; you've
only been down there once!
Yes, and the image of that chamber
is seared into my fucking brain!
There's one entrance, that's it!
There's no version of this
where we go spelunking
and realize, "Oh, hey,
there's a convenient exit
we didn't see before!"
For all we know, they buried
the bones in that chamber
for exactly that reason.
Okay, well, maybe we could have,
like maybe we can find
Kenny. Kenny, Kenny. Listen to me. Look.
I say this with love, okay?
You being here right
now, it's not helping.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm the problem.
Kenny, stop!
Boyd listens to you, okay?
You have to make him realize
that this may not be the kind
of plan where everybody
who goes in comes out.
So, you want me to go back
to Boyd and tell him that he
just needs to accept the fact
that people are gonna die?
- Maybe.
- I'm not doing that.
Well, then, we're not
fucking going home!
There is a reason that no one
has ever gotten out of here,
and maybe that reason is
no one has ever been willing
to make the hard decisions before!

gonna be one of the people
going down into the tunnels?

find a change of clothes,
then then, I wouldn't feel so

that they're all dead people's clothes,
and none of them fit
right, and I just
I don't think I'm doing very well.
Hey.
It's okay.
It's all right.
You must think I'm so weak.
You're actually handling
things a lot better
than I did when I first got here.
Really?
And I, uh
know where there's a
great stash of clothes.
So, maybe you and I can go
try some on later together?
I'd really like that.
You're a good person, Sara.
I'm gonna be at the diner,
helping them sort through the
storage room, if you need me.
Okay.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
That morning that I came out
of the root cellar, and
when I saw that everyone had died,
that was the first time
I saw the Boy in White.
He told me there were three
things that I would need.
The first was food.
We didn't have all the
stuff that we do now,
like animals and milk
and all that stuff.
So, he brought me here,
and this whole truck
was filled with canned peaches.
Was that all you had
to eat? Canned peaches?
Sometimes, I ate other things.
Plants and bugs;
that was only if I had to.
Come.
I didn't have a can opener at first,
so I figured out how to open them
with this rock.
So, you should hold onto this.
Look.
Yeah.
Ethan, the worst parts
is when you get lonely.
Everything is scarier
when you're lonely.
So, you have to pretend
you're not alone.
That was the second thing
that the Boy in White told me.
And how do you do that?
It was hard at first. I had to
I'd make friends with
things on the truck -
the walls and the floors and the boxes.
I gave them names and
I would talk to them.
But you won't have to do that, though,
because I thought of
something that's much better.
Okay?
Where are you going?
Just Just stay here;
I'm gonna be right back.
[SIGHS]
Is this helping?
A little, I guess.
I realized that I missed my
mother and Eloise the most.
And so, I found these
and I dressed them in their clothes.
And then, for a while,
it felt like that they
were back with me again.
Then, when I then
when I talked to them,
uh, I could imagine
what they would say back,
and then it didn't feel as lonely.
But we We can change them
into your family.
This could be your mom
and this could be Julie.
I know it's a little small, but
but we could maybe
find something bigger.
I didn't find anything for
your dad, but I thought
No. You need to stop it right now.
we could make a scarecrow.
You need to stop it right now, Victor!
What's wrong?
We're done. We're not
doing this anymore.
Stop.
Ethan, listen to me.
You're never going to be alone.
I will never, ever
let that happen to you.
And I swear to you
I'm gonna get you out of here.
That's what my mom thought, too.
- Where do you want this?
- Uh, watches go over there.
Okay.
Oh

Dad? Dad!
Grandpa's awake again!
[MONITOR BEEPING]
Okay. Get the doctor, quick!
Dad?
Hey, Dad. Stay with me. Dad.
Vi Victor.
Yeah.
What what's happening?
Hey, Dad, you're in a care facility.
Where I am in a
what? No, I was
I was in the diner, where
I was chopping vegetables.
No, Dad, it wasn't real.
I need you to listen to me, okay?
And this might not be
easy for you to hear.
A long time ago,
Mom surprised you on your birthday.
She came home with two hits of acid.
Do you remember that?
Of course I remember.
Okay.
Well, there was a problem.
There was something
wrong with the drugs,
and you had a really bad reaction,
and it was like you just
you weren't there anymore,
and you've been in this
facility ever since.
Who Who was that boy?
That's That's my son,
Sebastian. That's your grandson.
I I have a grandson?
Yeah.
You're gonna stay with us, okay?
I just spoke to Eloise,
and she's getting on a plane,
and she's flying out
to see you right now.
Eloise? She's alive?
Of course she's alive.
[WEEPING]
Do you know she's a school teacher?
A school t
[MONITOR BEEPING]
No, no, it can't be happening.
This no, no, it can't be real.
Dad, Dad, you have to stay with me.
[VOICE ECHOING] No, Dad, stay with me.
Please?
[SARAH] Here. Let me help you with that.
[BAKTA] Oh
You okay?
Uh, I think, uh
I appreciate you letting me
help, but I think I need to go.
Hey, I'm gonna head back down to
What are you doing?
I'm gonna stay with you at the clinic.
You don't have to do that.
Yeah, I know. I just
don't want you to be alone.
That's not why you're coming.
I don't understand how could she say
that any of this could
possibly be a good thing.
What if it is?
- What? Are you serious?
- Ellis, I was so freaked out;
it didn't even occur to me.
I connected with that thing.
I controlled it.
If there is a way I can
figure out how to use that
to help us, why wouldn't I even try?
I understand how you
feel, but that is not
No, you don't. I'm sorry.
With everything's that's happened,
you have no idea how it
feels to feel that powerless
in a place like this,
to feel like you're at the mercy
of these things that have
gotten inside your head,
gotten inside my body!
That thing was inside me.
Can you honestly stand there
and tell me you know how that feels?
- No.
- And now, I may finally
have a way that I can take back control,
that I can fight back,
something that could
actually help us go home!
And you want me to ignore that?
No, I want you to
acknowledge what this thing
might actually fucking do to you!
I don't care what it does to me!
I fucking care!
If I lose you
there is no home
for me to go to anymore.
Ellis
Ah, shit.
I understand that you wanna help,
[SNIFFLES]
and I want you to feel
like you have control again,
but it's
This shit is scaring the hell outta me.
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
Look, the truth is,
what you're afraid of
it may already be happening.
And if if it is,
then I need to be able to
take what good I can from that.
Yeah.
Hey.
Can I talk to you?
Of course.
What was that back there?
What you said to Fatima
was way outta line.
What are you kidding me?
We have no idea what's happening to her.
She's terrified.
That was not the time or
place to go off like that.
Not the time or place? Kristi,
she saved someone's life.
Why am I the only person
who sees the value in that?
I'm not saying there's no value to it.
Then, what are you saying?
Jesus, there are things
that come out of the
woods at night to hunt us.
We need to be finding every
advantage we possibly can.
I'm sorry if my timing
was inappropriate.
I'm saying that we need
to be careful, okay?
This place has a way of making you think
you're doing good things,
things that you think will help.
Yeah, it also has a way of
making you terrified to do anything.
Kristi, I want us to go home.
I want us to live the life
that we were supposed to have.
So, do I.
Then, what are we arguing about?
Look, I-I know we're all scared.
I'm fucking terrified.
But we have no idea what
is happening to Fatima,
and I'm not willing to risk her safety
so that I feel less afraid.
- Kristi
- She is my patient, she's under my care;
if you have something to say
to her, you go through me.
Yeah, just, uh, let me know
if you want me to change
any more sheets or anything.
[EXHALES]
"There's only one way in or out."
[SIGHS]
"That's a shooting
gallery. I was in the army."
[GASPS]
Holy shit.
Boyd?
[BOYD] In here.
What's going on?
Someone was in here.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. The yellow suit is gone.
What?
I got tired of staring
at the goddamn thing,
so I put it in here,
or I thought I did.
Why would someone come in here
just to take the yellow suit?
I don't know, Kenny.
Maybe the guy it belonged to got tired
of walking around naked
in the woods. I don't know.
Do you think maybe Victor
or Henry might have taken it?
[JADE] Boyd!
Boyd! Hey!
Did you take the suit?
- The what?
- The yellow suit,
it's gone.
Forget the suit! I got
it! I fucking got it!
I know how we're getting
in and out of the cavern!
Okay.
The Bottle Tree!
- What?
- Just come! Come with me!
Hello?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
Ethan, let's go.
We can't. We're not done yet.
Listen, Jade and Boyd
are working on a plan right
now to help us get home.
- Come on.
- But what if it doesn't?
Miranda thought she
would get everybody home,
but then everybody died.
How do you know the same
thing won't happen again?
[SIGHS]
Because
things are different this time.
We know things now.
Jade and I
we have memories that
Miranda didn't have.
She tried, Victor.
She tried so hard.
I know because I feel what she felt.
I know how much she loved you.
I know how badly she
wanted to take you home.
She just
didn't have the answers she needed.
But I do.
I have them because of her.
She's the one that led me to the tower,
to your father.
She's the reason why you get to go home.
What?
I don't think I came back
just to free the children.
I came back for you, Victor.
I'm gonna take you home.
So, we're gonna go to town now.
And we're not gonna
draw any more pictures
because neither of you are
ever going to be alone again.
I promise.
You see, the whole the whole
time, I've been focusing on
the entrances and exits
that are there now.
But what I should have
been thinking about
was the exit that used to be there!
What are you talking about?
There was a fucking hole in the ceiling!
And there were these roots
that formed the symbol
uh, you remember the symbol.
Yeah.
Victor said
Victor said those roots became a tree.
This tree.
Gentlemen, we are, at this moment,
standing right above the cavern
those bones are buried in.
You said we couldn't go into the
tunnels without a second exit,
so let's make one.
Wha ? You You
wanna cut down the tree?
I wanna pull it out by the roots.
And before you say that's impossible,
there is a clearing about
a hundred yards from here;
the road isn't too
far from that clearing.
We get the truck and the
van in there, we use
we use every inch of chain we have,
we get some leverage from the
other trees, we do it right,
it'll be like pulling a
stopper out of a bottle.
[MAKES POPPING SOUND] Think about it.
We send one team down there
while those things are asleep,
they get to the chamber,
block the entrance,
they put a talisman up for good measure;
and while they dig for the bones,
there's another team up
here working on the tree.
By the time the bones are
dug up, the tree is out.
We lift everyone up to
safety, get back to town,
we're behind closed doors
by sunset. Easy peasy.
Boyd, that that could work.
Boyd?
What happens
when the first group is down there,
and the tree doesn't come out?
What happens if the chain breaks
or-or if we don't have enough leverage?
That's never gonna happen.
Wait. You know that for sure?
Because what I wanna
know is what's plan B
when the tree doesn't come out
and we have five or six people
barricaded in a death trap
with no place else to go?
- Plan B?
- [BOYD] Yeah.
[EXHALES]
You-You asked for a solution
to an impossible problem.
I am serving it to you
on a goddamn platter!
Now, you're asking for a plan B?
- That's right.
- All right, okay
No! Let me make this as
clear as I can possibly can.
I am not sending people
down into those tunnels
with nothing but a hope and a prayer
that we pull the magic
tree out by its roots!
Landscaping is not a plan!
Landscaping. Fuck you!
Great! We're done here!
Hey, just just give him some time.

for me to be standing here right now.
You were always the spiritual one,
the smart one.
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
These things I'm I'm seeing
could they be real?
Did I really have it
wrong this whole time?
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
Well, it seems like me getting
my brain fried on that acid
makes a whole lot more
sense than than,
well any of this.
Everything's so nice there,
in that place I've seen.
Victor, he [CHUCKLES]
he wears a shirt and tie.
And then, we have a grandson.
He He has your eyes.
And Eloise
you're not
you're on a plane.
You're on a plane, and
I don't know where it's coming from,
but I'm gonna ask the next time I
[WEEPING]
Oh
Could I really be so lost?
All that time
Or
did I come all this way,
so that I could finally
go home?
If that's true
help me. Help me.

Yes. Yes.

Then, you have to do

Okay.
You see, the mind

And you have lived in
this delusion for so long
that your mind believes that it's real.
Just telling yourself that
it's not won't be enough.
You have to forcibly disconnect

you to that version of reality.
How?
You have to eliminate the anchor.

That cold sensation you
talked about before
It's gone.
That thing you said earlier
about being maybe able to control this,
do you really think that's possible?
Uh, it's hard to say.
But you must have had some idea.
I think there's a couple of
things we could try, yeah.
Can I talk to you?
Out there.
Enough.
Okay? Enough. You heard her.
She wants to do this. She wants to try.
Are you really gonna tell her
that she can't use what's hap

That's impossible.

Fatima shouldn't even
be alive right now.

I've had enough, all right?!
You got something to tell
me, then fucking tell me!
All right.
You need to get over it.
Excuse me?
You need to get over the fact
that you killed your wife.
You need to accept that
you did what you did
because it was the only choice you had,
and nothing you did that
morning could have saved her.
Just like you need to
accept the fact that,
no matter how great your plan is,
you're probably gonna lose
people going into those tunnels.
- Is that right?
- Oh, yeah.
You're not in peace time anymore, Boyd.
This isn't about keeping
everybody safe and sound.
I mean, you think this
place pushed back before?
No, Boyd. Look at me.
This is it.
This is where you make your stand.
And it's not about saving everyone;
it's about saving as many as you can.
When you shot Abby,
you saved Ellis.
You go down in those tunnels,
collect those bones, yeah,
you're probably gonna lose some people,
but you could save a whole lot more.
So, suck it up, make a
choice and live with it.

your husband died right

Jim was so brave.
I really liked him.
I kept one of his teeth, you know?
Did you bring me here to kill me?
Kill you?
Heaven's no.
We've been through so
much together, you and I.
You're as close to a
friend as I ever had.
You and Jade,
you're doing so well this time.
I wouldn't dream of killing you.
Not yet.
- Then, why am I here?

because you're about to do something
you've never done before.
We've played this game so many times
[GASPS]
but the notion of you
digging up those bones?
Oh
You may have finally found the key
to setting those children free,
to bringing your own children home.
Or
you're about to unleash
