[BOYD] Previously on From
Everything's so nice
in that place I've seen.
Victor
he wears a shirt and tie.
And we have a grandson.
He has your eyes.
These things I'm seeing
could they be real?
[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]
Do you want to stay here, Henry?
How?
You have to forcibly disconnect.
You have to eliminate the anchor.
This morning, I saw this.
Is it possible that I'm
turning into one of them?
No.
That's not what's happening.
Tell her that's not what's happening.
Her heart rate is 19 beats per minute.
That's impossible.
Fatima shouldn't even
be alive right now.
This is the chamber where
the bones are buried, right?
What happens when they block
our only exit out of that chamber?
We are standing
right above the cavern
those bones are buried in.
You wanna cut down the tree?
I wanna pull it out by the roots.
What's plan B, when the
tree doesn't come out
and we have people
barricaded in a death trap
with no place else to go?
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.
[THOMAS] Come to the RV or
I'll hurt Julie and Ethan.
You're about to do something
you've never done before.
[WHIMPERING]
You may have finally found
the key to setting those
children free. Or
you're about to unleash
a type of suffering you
can't even begin to imagine.
[GASPS]
This was really nice.
Oh, my God
He was in my house, Boyd.
That fucking thing was in my house!
- Wait. Are you sure?
- Yes!
He had Ethan's drawings!
That means he came inside!
Even with a talisman on the door,
it was inside, in the middle of the day.
[SOFTLY] Okay. All right.
He killed Jim.
What? How do you know that?
Because he told me!
- Jesus
- We're not safe here anymore.
Look, hey. I get it, Boyd.
Okay? I know you want
to protect everybody.
I know you want to keep everyone safe,
so do I.
That's why I'm gonna be the one
going down into those tunnels.
Boyd, listen, there is no
perfect version of a plan, all right?
This is it; this is the
best chance we've got!
You're right.
- What?
- Walk me through it again.
Wait. What just happened?
That guy in the yellow suit, he's back.
When the sun comes up tomorrow,
I wanna be ready to put
shovels in the ground.
We're getting those fucking bones.

[BONES CRACKING]
[SCREAMING]
What are you guys doing?
Boyd told us to gather
all the rope and chain we could find.
For what?
You didn't hear?
When people go into
the tunnels tomorrow,
they're gonna dig up those bones.
Really?
Yeah.
Jade, Kenny, and a
couple of others, I think.
Wow. I hope it works.
We're gonna be up all
night making a rope ladder,
if you wanna come by.
Sounds like fun.
Can you handle this? I'm
gonna go check the shed.
- Yeah.
- Can I help?
Sure.
You're Clara.
Yeah. Um, Sophia, right?
- That's right.
- Hm.
But, um
do you know who I really am?
What?
Maybe if you look closer.
[CHUCKLES UNEASILY]
Does this help?
Oh, God.
Do you remember the bargain we made?
Good,
because I need you to
do something for me.

Hey.
- Hey.
- What are you doing?
How's Fatima?
She's doing the jigsaw puzzle.
I told her it was a cognitive test.
Good; that should keep
her occupied for a bit.
What are you looking for?
Epinephrine shot from the ambulance.
I swear I put it in here. I just
There it is.
'Kay, I gotta go to talk to Boyd.
Just keep her here, keep her busy.
If anything happens,
if her heart stops
Okay. I've done these shots before.
- Right.
- I got it.
Just be careful.
We don't know what
any of this means yet.
- Yeah.
- 'Kay.
I love you.
Love you too.
[SIGHS]
Sara?
Hello?
You home?
Come on in.
[DOOR SLAMS]
Let's go to my room.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAY]
Sara painted it for me.
Isn't that lovely?
It's not my favorite color.
Come sit.
You don't have to be scared.
When you first came
here, we made a bargain,
and I told you, at some point,
that I was gonna need your help.
That day we met, I
started to wonder if it was real.
Are you really gonna let me go home?
First, you need to
help me with something.
You want me to stop them
from digging up the bones.
Oh, no.
You see
when they go into
those tunnels tomorrow,
that's not gonna work out very well.
They have the right idea, of course,
but this place
it's built on ritual,
and with rituals, how you do something
is just as important as what you do.
Then, what do you need from me?
Do you like games, Clara?
Answer me when I ask you a question.
Yes. Yeah, I-I like games, I guess.
I love them.
I'm playing so many right now, but
there's one or two
that need a little push,
speed things up a bit.
Give me your hand.
Clara, give me your hand
or I'm going to do
horrible things to you.
That's a good girl.
[GASPS]
This next part will feel strange.
[GASPS]
Just relax.
Let me in.
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
So, once the group in the
tunnels have the bones,
then we pull the tree, and then
we get 'em out with the ladder
that they're putting
together at the, uh, diner.
And how are the people in the tunnels
gonna protect themselves
while they're digging?
Those things down there
wake up, they're fucked!
We're gonna cover the entrance
to the chamber with a tarp.
We're gonna hang a talisman
on it, and it should be
- as good as a wall.
- Yep.
If the talismans work down there.
We haven't exactly
field-tested them yet.
It'll work.
Listen, I don't wanna be the asshole,
but once you pull out that tree,
it's like opening a window.
Talismans or not, those
things are coming inside.
[DONNA SIGHS]
Whoever's in that tunnel
is gonna get slaughtered
long before they climb that ladder.
Once the bones are out of the ground,
they'll keep the chamber safe.
- Come again?
- It's why they're buried.
Those things down there
are afraid of them;
I could feel it in my trip.
Once we have the bones
out of the ground,
they will keep those things
from coming into the chamber,
at least long enough
for everyone to get out.
You are putting a whole lotta faith
in a handful of mushrooms.
Okay. Let's say this works.
Let's say you actually
dig up these magical bones
and get outta the chamber alive,
what happens next?
We all just gonna hop
in our cars and go home?
We don't know.
Of course not.
You have figured out just enough
to get yourself killed, but not
what to do if you actually
Look, we can't wait around for
this prick in the yellow suit
to keep picking us off one by one!
I know!
I just hope you're right.
[KRISTI] Boyd?
Kristi?
- Can we talk?
- [BOYD] Wha
Um, Jade and I will go
get those radios started.
Okay. Uh, we'll finish.
Hey, what's up?
Let's yeah, let's go for a walk.
Come on.
I, um, I don't know how to say this,
but Fatima is presenting
with the vital signs
[SPEAKING INAUDIBLY]
You okay, Henry?
Why is this here?
- What?
- Did someone
bring it in their car?
Who travels with a carousel horse?
I just figured it was always here.
I baked some cookies. Do you want one?
No, thank you.
I don't blame you.
I always used to bake
when I was nervous.
It used to help with my
It used to help. But
nothing ever really
turns out the same here.
Yeah.
Someone'll be hungry enough.
[PA BEEPS, INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Dad? Dad.
- It's okay.
- [HENRY GASPS]
Hey.
- Hey!
- Hey. Okay. It's okay.
Wha
Dad.
Hey. Look, I got your favorite.
I even I brought some
provolone cheese from home.
Here.
Just like you like it.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
So, have you thought about
what Doctor Boyd said?
Doc Doctor Boyd?
Yeah.
That's That's right,
the sheriff's name is Boyd.
How do you know that?
Because you mumble sometimes, Dad;
so we've heard all the names
- Boyd and Donna,
Ethan
I-I-I
- Yeah.
- Okay. I'm, um, okay.
Have you thought about what she said
about the anchor that's
keeping you there?
[STAMMERS] Yeah, I can't I can't. No.
Okay. Why?
No, because
Because it's you.
Victor, you're the
anchor. You're the anchor.
You're You're you're
what's keeping me there.
So, the doctor wants
me to eliminate you?
- To kill you? No. I
- Dad
- No!
- Dad, that's not me.
No, that broken boy who grew up alone,
he's not he's not real.
He's not real, Dad. Look at me.
I'm not alone. I'm here.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I have a family,
one that misses you very much.
And if what the doctor
is saying is true,
and you just let go of
that that version of me,
then you get to come back to us.
Isn't that what you want?
- Don't you want that?
- Well, of course. Of c
But how how could I? Even if
Even if I wanted to, how could I ?
You know, with my bare hands? Or
Dad, the doctor said that
once you accept that it's a dream,
the dream is gonna provide you
with everything that you need.
You just need to accept it isn't real.
But how can I do that?!
[GASP]
[VICTOR] Dad?
- [GROANS]
- Dad?
Are you okay?
[CLEARS THROAT]
I'm I'm fine.
Well, you don't look fine.
I'm
- Dad, please
- I
need you to just
I need to be alone right now.
Dad
[DOOR CLOSES]
And where is she now?
We're trying to keep her at
the clinic as long as possible.
Marielle's up there with her now.
Okay.
Boyd, what's the plan here?
I don't know.
Okay, you're gonna have to
do a bit better than that.
I can't, all right? I'm
Okay.
Okay, how 'bout we talk to Ellis?
No. No.
You do not talk to Ellis.
You don't talk to Fatima.
The best thing we can do right now
is get her the fuck outta here,
and that means tomorrow has to work.
Okay, I'm gonna need
you to come out there.
- Boyd, I
- We got a group of people
going down into those tunnels.
I don't know what kinda shape
they're gonna be in when they come out.
Somebody gets hurt,
we might not have time
to make it to the clinic.
So, Marielle stays with Fatima,
you bring as many supplies as
you can out to the Bottle Tree.
We're gonna we're
gonna get through this.
And then, we're we're gonna go home.
We are gonna go home.
What? What do you mean he was here?
He was in the house?
Yeah.
Why didn't the talisman
stop him from coming in?
I don't know.
Is he the one that killed Dad?
Yes.
Was it because what you
and Jade figured out?
Is that what "knowledge
comes at a cost" means?
Yes.
[JULIE] Okay, so, who's next?
You're still looking for answers, right?
Who's he gonna kill next?
Ethan?
Me?
I'm not going to let that happen.
How? How are you gonna stop that, Mom?
Can't you see what this
place is doing to you?
It lies. Do you honestly believe
that you've been here over
and over and over again?
That you're some kind of ancient savior?
I saw the Man in Yellow once.
I saw him standing in
the middle of the street,
eating a bunch of dead people.
Wait. What?
I thought that I was
traveling through time,
that I could change things
and that I could save Dad.
But you know what I was really doing?
I was giving myself seizures.
Where are you going?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
How do these work?
Who made them? Did you make them?
I don't know.
But if you have all these memories,
you should know this, right?
It doesn't work that way.
Maybe that's because it's not real.
Mom
this place lies to us so that
we hurt ourselves and
we hurt each other.
Please stop giving it what it wants.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[WINCES]
[GROANS]
[WINCES]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
- [MARIELLE] Hey.
- Hey.
Everything okay?
Yeah. I, um
I just brought something for Fatima.
A family remedy.
Uh, she's inside.
Great.
Hey, Fatima.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I heard you weren't feeling
great, so I made this for you.
What is it?
It's, uh, an old family recipe,
a mix of berries, herbs.
I had to improvise with
a couple of ingredients.
That's very sweet. Thank you.
You really need to drink
it while it's fresh.
It'll make you feel better; I promise.
Uh, yeah. Sure.
Can't hurt, right?
[CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY]
I know it doesn't
taste great, but, um
Take care of yourself.
I'll see you back at Colony House.
Yeah.
I'm sorry I don't come here much.
But I don't really know
what to think anymore.
Boyd told Dad and I
that you're Tabitha now.
If you're Tabitha, that means
that you're not with Eloise.
That means you're not even there.
But I don't know where else to go.
I think there's
something wrong with Dad,
and I-I don't know how to help him.
Tabitha says that we're gonna go home
but what if he doesn't
make it that long?
I don't know things that I'm
supposed to say to someone.
Go away.
This is private.
What do you want?
You know what the others are doing?
Going into the tunnels to get the bones,
so everyone can go home.
Did you know they're
gonna pull down the tree?
The Bottle Tree?
I've told you before;
that tree is important.
You can't let that happen!
I just want you to know
that I'm not here for me.
I don't fuckin' like you.
I think I've made that pretty clear.
I've made peace with
whatever shit you got planned for me.
I'm here for my son.
I'm here for Fatima.
Don't do this. You hear me?
Whatever this shit is you're
pulling, don't do this.
Whatever it is you have against me,
there are good people here.
Get these people home! You
Boyd?
Kristi said you were looking for me.
I need to ask you not to repeat
anything I'm about to say.
Okay?
Of course.
All right.
Fatima is down at the clinic,
having some tests done.
Uh, her heart rate,
her blood pressure are not
She should be dead right now.
But, instead, she's walking
around like nothing's wrong.
When Fatima went missing,
you came to me and you said
the voices were laughing.
Right? Because they knew
that I couldn't save her.
But we did. We found her.
She's okay.
The voices were wrong.
We We saved her.
Didn't we?
I don't know.
Okay.
I'm coming with you tomorrow.
I wanna be there.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey.
Do you think he was really Dad?
What?
We went to the settlement
because Dad told me to
find the Lake of Tears.
Then, bad things happened.
Do you think it was really him?
I don't know, honey.
[EXHALES HEAVILY]
I think this place
tries to make us afraid,
so we won't believe in the
things that can help us.
All those things you remember?
You should listen to what
it's trying to tell you.
Don't be scared to believe.
Come here. Come here.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Mom?
What's wrong?
And we boosted the signal
as much as we could.
We're not gonna be able to talk
to each other, but we do have
[STATIC BEEPING]
Huh?
Poor man's Morse code.
So, you can signal us from the chamber.
Exactly.
Okay, that's good.
- Nice.
- Pack all this up
and bring it to Colony House.
- Yes, sir.
- Yeah, we need to Victor?
Is it true? Are you
pulling down the tree?
The Bottle Tree, are
you pulling it down?
We need to make sure
that we can get our people
out of the tunnels safely.
- You can't do that!
- We don't have a choice.
Victor, this is a good thing.
No, you don't understand.
He said you can't.
- Wait. Who said?
- The Boy in White;
he said that the tree is important.
You can't pull it down.
Because the Boy in White said not to.
- That's right.
- Okay, then,
where is he, Victor?
Why doesn't he just come
- in here and tell us himself?
- It doesn't work that way!
He told me! He's my
friend, and he knows things!
Why won't he help us?
Victor, there are things here,
there are things here
that play games with us.
- No.
- And I think this little boy
is one of those things.
No! No! You you can't do this!
You can't! I'm gonna stop you!
Hey, Vic Aww, fuck.
Victor, listen, hey.
Victor? Listen to me.
Slow down. Victor, slow down.
- No.
- Victor, hey, Buddy. Hey, listen.
I'm gonna need you to come
with me to the station, Victor!
Okay? Victor, come here.
- Get off me!
- Hey, Victor, come on!
- No! No!
- Come!
- No, no! No!
- Take it easy!
- No, no!
- [BOYD] Okay, Victor, all right.
Stop! [SCREAMING]
Stop it! I am trying to help you!
- I know!
- I'm trying to help you!
Yes, Victor. I know, I know, I know.
- I'm sorry, buddy.
- [SCREAMING]
I know, I know, I know.
There are people
- You don't understand!
- risking their lives,
- and we just can't take
- Stop!
any chances.
- Okay! Okay. Come on, come on, come on.
- Tabitha! Stop!
- No! Wait, wait, wait!
- Don't let them do it! Don't let them!
Take him to the station, all right?
- 'Kay, Victor, come on!
- Why is he in handcuffs?!
Because I'm trying to prevent
a problem before it happens.
The Boy in White told him that
we can't take down the tree,
so he's gonna try and stop us.
Look, you tell me you wanna
scrap this whole thing,
forget about the bones,
then I'll let Victor go.
We don't know who the
boy is or what he wants.
Exactly! Exactly. Excuse me.
Boyd, wait.
It needs to be me.
I need to be the one who
goes down into the tunnels,
Hey, we've got plenty of
people going down there, and
Boyd, you don't understand.
It needs to be only me and Jade.
What? Hold on, this
Boyd, we're the ones
who failed to save those children.
We're the ones they've been
calling to over and over again.
Okay, listen, look.
Look, look, look, look,
look. Look at the talisman.
There are two people here, right?
Who do you think those people are?
It has to be us.
I ca I can't. I can't.
Something goes wrong, what
happens to Julie and Ethan?
Who do you think I'm doing this for?
Boyd
we only get to do this once.
And I think here, in this place,
the way that we do this matters.
You have to trust me.
[BELL RINGING]
[BELL RINGING]
Time to get inside.
Oh, um, I thought I'd help out
with the rope ladder in the diner.
It seems really important.
They'll really appreciate
that; we all do.
Just doing my part. Goodnight, Sheriff.
Night.
[BELL RINGING]
[INDISTINCT QUIET CHATTER]
Those buttons don't actually work.
You know, they're just for show.

Yeah, he's angry and he's scared.
Hey, look.
There's something we need to talk about.
You're not coming out
there with us tomorrow.
- What?
- I need you to stay behind.
- No.
- Kenny, listen to me.
Listen to me. All planning aside,
we have no idea what's
gonna happen tomorrow.

Please.

[CLEARS THROAT]
To better days.
Yeah.
To better days.
[GLASSES CLINK]
I know.
[ETHAN] Why can't we
just stay at the house?
Honey, you'll be safer here.
Can't somebody else
go down in the tunnels?
I wish they could, but it has to be me.
Don't be scared to believe, remember?
- What if you don't come back?
- Hey.
Remember what Jade said.
The bones are gonna protect us
when we're down in the chamber.
And once we're back,
we'll be so much closer to going home.
How are the bones gonna protect you?
It's just the way they work.
See?
We're going to be okay.
I love you.
You gotta be strong, okay?
[ETHAN] Okay.
- [TABITHA] Okay.
- We should get going.
I'll see you in a few hours.
I love you.
I love you too.
You're lucky.
Why's that?
Not a single person here
tried to talk me out of this.
Hey, Acosta, you get that ladder off.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
- Goin' up, Randall?
- [RANDALL] Yeah.
Whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Make sure.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
- Hey, anything yet?
- Think we've got something.
[STATIC HISSES]
Rope ladder's here.
[KRISTI] Oh, okay,
great. Come over here.
[ACOSTA] Here, I'll help you.
[STATIC BEEPS]

You ready?
Not really.
That's the right answer.
Oh, come on. Okay.
- Watch your head.
- [TABITHA] Yeah!
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOOR OPENS]
What are you doing here?
I thought you'd want to
know; things changed a little,
and now it's only Tabitha and Jade
who are going into the tunnels.
You should've told me sooner.
I'm sorry. I just found out.
I-I still get to go home, right?
Sophia?
Check this out. There's
a There's a
there's a person in this photo, um
the girl in the background
she looks just like you.
That's because it is me.
I don't understand.
How is that possible?
Clara, would you lock the doors, please?
[DOOR OPENS]
I can only take the form of
people who have died here.
The hell's going on?
I really wish you hadn't seen that.
