FROM 2x5

1. Previously on From...

2. I hear their voices.

3. They said it was the only way to go home!

4. Sara, just tell me what you did.

5. I left the door open.

6. I saw something that wasn't there.

7. - What? - I saw two children

8. standing in the middle of the road, staring at me.

9. Is this Jim?

10. I am not saying ignore it.

11. You already got people's hopes up with your goddamn tower.

12. All the more reason that we—

13. To keep our fucking mouths shut.

14. What's about to happen,

15. it's gonna save everyone.

16. Where's my mom? I want my mom!

17. Ethan, run!

18. Nathan, please!

19. I spent the entire night with her,

20. and that scalpel she used, she took it from my clinic.

21. This is not your fault.

22. How exactly are you gonna tell Kenny

23. that Sara killed his dad?

24. I did what I had to do! She was valuable!

25. She— she may still be valuable!

26. They tore him to pieces, and you knew!

27. Kenny, please.

28. You watch your own fucking six.

29. There's a symbol that I keep seeing.

30. Look at this.

31. Look. This guy...

32. he must have been seeing it, too.

33. That's you, right?

34. This could be the key to getting the hell out of here.

35. Stay away from me!

36. Welcome to your new home.

37. Hop on up.

38. Every night, those things come.

39. There really is no way out.

40. Hi. Are you comfortable in there?

41. You think this is scary?

42. Huh?

43. Hiya.

44. You think this is scary?

45. What am I supposed to be?

46. Huh? Am I supposed to be pissing myself? Huh?

47. Heh. Well, you can't get in here,

48. 'cause there's a fucking rock in the fucking window!

49. Yeah. Yeah, that's real fucking scary.

50. I'm not afraid of you.

51. You understand me?

52. See ya.

53. Where you goin'?

54. Where you goin'? Hey!

55. Huh? Hey!

56. Huh?

57. I'm fucking talking to you.

58. Don't fucking walk away from me.

59. You don't fucking walk away from me!

60. Oh, God. That motherfucking...

61. " plays]

62. Boyd!

63. Hey! You get back downstairs.

64. Stay out of sight.

65. I'll handle this.

66. Go!

67. Coming.

68. - Where is she? - Hey, hey, look.

69. Hey, hey, can we just calm down?

70. - Calm down. - Calm down?

71. Are you fucking serious?

72. There's a lot about this that you don't understand.

73. Really? What?

74. That she hears voices?

75. That she's important?

76. Kenny told us. She's a fucking murderer.

77. That's what she is. How could you do this?

78. She is not going to hurt anyone!

79. I don't give a shit what she's gonna do!

80. All I care about is what she's done.

81. She tried to kill my fucking kid!

82. Yes, I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.

83. Alright. So, now what?

84. We just supposed to pretend like nothing happened?

85. What about your rules?

86. Things have changed.

87. - How? - How? Someone put a tower,

88. a fucking tower, on Colony House

89. and told everyone they were going home!

90. Now, they're all looking at me, wondering why

91. I didn't come back with all the answers!

92. We got a busload of people we don't have resources for,

93. and a fucking house fell for no goddamn reason!

94. So, yeah, if she can help us figure out what's going on here,

95. she stays out of the Box! Period!

96. - Hey! - Eh! I told you

97. to stay downstairs! Look.

98. I wanna talk to you.

99. You need to listen very fucking carefully.

100. If you ever come near my family again,

101. I swear to God I will fucking kill you!

102. Say you understand.

103. Say you understand!

104. I do.

105. Listen. You have my word—

106. I don't give a shit about your word!

107. Jim, listen.

108. Don't even.

109. Fuck!

110. Goddamn it!

111. Okay.

112. You lock the door. You stay inside.

113. Where are you going?

114. Colony House.

115. Gotta talk to Donna.

116. I want to make sure she hears this from my mouth.

117. Boyd!

118. I shouldn't be here! I...

119. I'm not strong enough for this.

120. That part I can't help you with,

121. so you better figure it out!

122. Ethan.

123. Ethan, I promise if you let me in,

124. it's just me, okay?

125. There's nobody else out here.

126. Ethan, come on. Please let me in.

127. Julie, what's going on?

128. He heard us last night talking about Sara.

129. Now, he won't come out.

130. Ethan?

131. Honey, I promise no one's going to hurt you.

132. Yeah. Your mom and I, we're never gonna let anybody

133. hurt you.

134. It's like, uh, with the Cromenockle?

135. When she's afraid to go inside of the cave.

136. I wanna see her.

137. I wanna see Sara.

138. Okay. So, hi.

139. They're not exactly

140. chocolate chip, but they're the best I could do.

141. Mm.

142. Here. Careful. It's hot.

143. Thank you.

144. Alright. Ready?

145. What are they?

146. Okay. So, they're these bread crisps that Tian-Chen makes.

147. They're, like, a cross between a cracker and a chip.

148. They're actually really good. Okay?

149. Huh.

150. Right? Okay. Don't get crumbs in the bed.

151. Thanks.

152. I have a surprise for you.

153. What?

154. Um... okay.

155. Close your eyes.

156. Open them.

157. Shut up.

158. How— how— how do even you have this?

159. Are you kidding? I haven't gone anywhere without it

160. since you...

161. For a long time,

162. it still smelled like you.

163. Now, it just smells.

164. I still remember the last time I saw you wearing it.

165. Hey.

166. Hmm?

167. Where'd you go?

168. Nowhere.

169. Kristi, what's wrong?

170. Nothing.

171. It's stupid.

172. Okay.

173. Tell me anyway.

174. What if I'm not the same anymore?

175. I've just... seen things here.

176. I've had to do things that—

177. Hey.

178. You're still you.

179. I'm still me.

180. The rest of it,

181. we'll figure it out together.

182. Hmm?

183. Every ounce, every inch, remember?

184. What are you doing?

185. Sorry. I, uh—

186. That's my coat.

187. - No, this is— - What's going on?

188. That girl's here,

189. the one who killed her brother.

190. Please, I just...

191. - Get the fuck out. - I don't want any trouble.

192. You can't have your house back. Look. She has my coat.

193. This is my brother's jacket.

194. Not anymore it's not.

195. Put it down and get the fuck out.

196. I just want our things.

197. There's something special that I...

198. The rest of your stuff is gone. We packed it up.

199. We— we gave it to Kenny's mom for storage.

200. There was this small ceramic ornament about this big.

201. Do you remember?

202. He just fucking told you no!

203. Look. It was creepy having your stuff here,

204. and it's really creepy that you're here right now,

205. so please just put the coat down and go away.

206. - Please. - Get the fuck out.

207. Yeah. Okay.

208. Yeah.

209. Ah.

210. Excuse me, bud.

211. You don't look good.

212. Tom's dead.

213. Bar's closed.

214. - What are you doing? - Oh, what do you care?

215. I'm trying to figure out the symbol

216. that you refuse to help me with,

217. despite the fact that you clearly know something

218. - you're not telling me. - Well, I'll tell you what I can.

219. - Really? - Yeah.

220. First, you have to do something for me.

221. Oh.

222. So, now you need something from me, you're—

223. You know what? First of all, fuck off,

224. and second of all, fuck off!

225. Okay.

226. Wait!

227. What do you want?

228. Mm.

229. I want you to play.

230. The fuck is wrong with you?

231. If you play, I'll tell you about the man in the photo.

232. You tell me about the photo first. Then I play.

233. Mm, no.

234. Just give me the fuckin' violin.

235. Not here.

236. Come.

237. The fuck?

238. - Come with me! - Okay! Alright!

239. This took me all fucking night.

240. There's no way I'm letting him anywhere near that—

241. Tabby.

242. How can you even consider this, Jim?

243. After Thomas...

244. Because the doctors all said

245. that we should let him lead sometimes,

246. and they also said that we have to let him

247. work through things in his own way

248. and to be there to support him when he asks.

249. Anyways, I'll be there, right there with him.

250. - I'm coming with you. - Tabby.

251. Look. I don't give a shit what the doctors said.

252. We're living in a fucking nightmare,

253. and that bitch tried to kill my kid.

254. Please let me do this.

255. Mom?

256. Hey... Hey.

257. I remember what you told me yesterday

258. about this place, how scary it is.

259. Mm-hmm.

260. When you're on a quest,

261. we have to face the scary things.

262. That's how you take their power away.

263. Yeah.

264. Stay with Daddy, okay?

265. And do exactly what he tells you.

266. - Okay. - Okay.

267. What were you fucking doing, Boyd?

268. By the rules of this town,

269. the rules you created,

270. that girl should have gone in the Box

271. the second you found her.

272. Listen. Father Khatri—

273. Khatri's fucking dead.

274. Don't you lay this on him.

275. You made your own call here, Boyd.

276. You told people you were coming back with answers,

277. and instead, you came back with a psychopath

278. who killed not one but four people.

279. And because she's special, she doesn't have to go

280. in the Box? Do you hear what that sounds like?

281. She knew things!

282. Out in the forest, she knew things

283. she couldn't possibly have known!

284. Okay. Great.

285. - So what? - What do you mean, "So what?"

286. I mean, we're still fuckin' here.

287. Voices or no voices,

288. do you see a yellow brick fuckin' road leading us home?

289. Because I sure don't.

290. I just see someone who may have just betrayed

291. the one thing this place still has going for it.

292. And what's that?

293. Faith. In you.

294. - You want the truth? - I mean...

295. I don't think this has anything to do with going home.

296. I think this is about Abby.

297. I think you shot your wife,

298. and every morning since,

299. you wake up wishing you'd done more,

300. that you'd been there for her,

301. helped her,

302. fixed her.

303. But Abby's dead, Boyd.

304. And Sara's a killer.

305. You gonna have my back on this or not?

306. Okay.

307. What do you want, Boyd?

308. You want my approval? Y-You want absolution?

309. 'Cause you're not gonna get it here.

310. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

311. What did Tian-Chen say?

312. How does she feel about Sara being back?

313. - I haven't— - Yeah. Well, maybe you should.

314. Sara?

315. He has something he wants to say to you.

316. Everyone thought you died.

317. But you didn't.

318. You lived.

319. Out in the woods.

320. Only monsters live in the woods.

321. I thought we were friends.

322. But we're not.

323. You're a monster.

324. And I'm not afraid of you.

325. Okay.

326. - Where are we going? - It's just a little further.

327. Listen. You want me to play something for you, I'll play,

328. but I'm not gonna wander around with you all day while you—

329. It's strange.

330. The trees, they're changing.

331. The fuck does that mean?

332. Oh. Well, this is, uh...

333. Did you do all this?

334. After everyone...

335. Once I was alone,

336. I— I didn't want to look at the cars anymore,

337. so I put them where I couldn't see them.

338. There's more past the rocks,

339. a lot more,

340. but those were already here.

341. Come on.

342. I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.

343. I don't like when people touch my things,

344. and when I heard you play...

345. Uh, sometimes, I get angry,

346. and I'm sorry.

347. Okay.

348. Here.

349. - Here what? - This is where you play.

350. Oh, thank God. Here.

351. What do you, uh— What do you wanna hear?

352. Play the one about the star.

353. The what?

354. Twinkling star.

355. This was your mother's car.

356. She used to play it when I was afraid.

357. And I'd sit up here, just like this,

358. and she'd play.

359. At night, when we hid,

360. when I heard the people screaming,

361. she'd tell me to think about the twinkling stars.

362. And then... I wouldn't be afraid anymore.

363. Do you know that song?

364. Yeah. Uh... I know it.

365. Oh. Uh, I'm sorry.

366. I didn't mean to...

367. I didn't think anyone would be here.

368. It's okay.

369. Plenty of room.

370. Were you on the bus?

371. Yeah.

372. I'm sorry.

373. Have you been here long?

374. A couple months.

375. Feels like much longer.

376. Do you live here in town?

377. I mean, obviously, you— you live in town.

378. I just...

379. I hadn't seen you up at the Colony House.

380. I would've noticed you.

381. I, um...

382. I guess right now, I live here.

383. I figured a priest would live here

384. or something.

385. There used to be.

386. Oh.

387. I go every Sunday with my grandma.

388. Uh, to church, I mean.

389. As long as I can remember.

390. Is that where you were going when you were on the bus?

391. To see your grandmother?

392. Yeah. She... uh...

393. I go see her every weekend.

394. I was never all that religious,

395. but... it always made her happy,

396. you know, me going to church with her,

397. and afterwards, we'd spend the afternoon sitting outside,

398. making these little crochet owls.

399. Really?

400. It was always an owl.

401. And she has hundreds of 'em.

402. Uh, she would give them to every person that she met.

403. And I— I would tell her,

404. "Grandma, maybe we could try to switch it up a little bit.

405. Maybe try a dog or a bunny or something."

406. But she'd tell me,

407. "Elgin, I like what I like,

408. and I like owls."

409. So we made owls.

410. You must think I'm really cool.

411. I was kind of a dork when I was a kid.

412. My brother and I,

413. we used to collect these little ceramic Christmas ornaments

414. from the dollar store in town.

415. We'd save up all our money.

416. We'd go every chance we got, like, all year round.

417. We wouldn't even wait for Christmas.

418. And then we'd get home, and we would paint them

419. with all these crazy colors.

420. We had so many at one point,

421. we could've decorated a hundred trees

422. and still had some left over.

423. Nathan's always looked a lot better than mine.

424. I thought they were all gone.

425. Turns out...

426. Nathan kept one with him all these years.

427. He said it reminded him of a time when things were...

428. Is he here now?

429. Your brother?

430. He was.

431. What happened to the ornament?

432. It's here... somewhere. I just...

433. I think the person who has it won't wanna give it back.

434. Hey.

435. You need some muscle, I'm happy to talk to 'em.

436. You're sweet.

437. How come you don't stay up at the Colony House?

438. I mean, the people up there seem friendly, for the most part.

439. No reason to be hanging around an old, musty church.

440. It always seemed like such a nice idea...

441. that no matter what you did...

442. if you were truly sorry...

443. then God would forgive you.

444. Do you think that's true?

445. That part always seemed

446. a bit like wishful thinking to me.

447. Why? Did you do something that needs forgiving?

448. I killed my brother.

449. But it was an accident.

450. Right?

451. - I mean, you wouldn't— - You'll find out everything

452. soon enough.

453. Uh... maybe I should, uh...

454. Uh...

455. It was really nice to meet you, Elgin.

456. Yeah.

457. It was nice, uh...

458. nice meeting you, too.

459. How did it go?

460. You okay?

461. I'm not afraid anymore.

462. Oh, baby, I'm so proud of you.

463. Hey. Nice going.

464. Can you come help me peel some potatoes for dinner?

465. I don't wanna peel potatoes.

466. Okay. Neither do I.

467. - Go on. - Let's go.

468. Come on.

469. How did he do?

470. - He did great. - Yeah? Oh, God.

471. Life lessons from the Cromenockle.

472. Who would have thought?

473. I'm sorry.

474. I shouldn't have come here.

475. Wait.

476. You take from me.

477. You take him from me.

478. Yes.

479. I take care of you.

480. But you...

481. you put hate inside me.

482. I know why you come.

483. You wait.

484. You take and go.

485. You never come here, this place.

486. You never come again.

487. - Are you kidding me? - Kenny, I just—

488. - Hey! - Kenny, I—

489. - What? What? - I wasn't doing anything.

490. You weren't doing anything what? Give me that.

491. - Kenny, please. Kenny, please! - What the fuck is in it?

492. Give me that. Your stuff? Huh?

493. This is your stuff, right?

494. Is this Nathan's?

495. What's that? Give me that.

496. - Stop. Stop! No! Please! - Give me it. Give me it.

497. What is this?

498. - This important to you? Huh? - Kenny.

499. - This is meaningful? - Kenny, please.

500. - This mean a lot to you? - Don't, please.

501. - Fuck you! - Oh.

502. Hey. Hey. Look. Listen.

503. Look at me!

504. I don't care what Boyd says, and I don't give a shit

505. how fucking special you think you are.

506. You ever come near my mom again, and I swear to God

507. I will drag your fucking psycho ass into that Box myself.

508. Do you understand me?

509. Do you understand?

510. Yes.

511. Can I see?

512. Hold on.

513. Almost done.

514. There we go.

515. Can I see?

516. Keep in mind... I'm a little out of practice.

517. Ooh!

518. I think we did okay.

519. - I love it. - Yeah?

520. Come here.

521. I look like me again.

522. Oh, excuse me. Uh...

523. Hi.

524. Hi. I— I was looking for Kristi.

525. Yeah. That's me. Hi.

526. Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

527. Oh, no. It's fine. How can I help you?

528. Well, uh...

529. since you're the resident Quincy...

530. I was hoping I could give you this.

531. Uh, why are you carrying around liquid morphine?

532. Mm. Um, when were you diagnosed?

533. About a month ago.

534. I figure that by the time I need that,

535. I probably won't be in any shape to...

536. I'll take care of it, okay?

537. Thank you.

538. Look what I did.

539. Ruined such a nice afternoon.

540. I'll let you get back to it.

541. Oh, well, you're better off in here, anyway.

542. Oh, there's lots of hubbub flying around

543. now that that Sara girl's back.

544. I'm sorry. What?

545. Kristi, where are you going?

546. - Baby, stop! - No! I have to—

547. - Stop! - I have to go!

548. Hey, just talk to me!

549. Hey! Talk to me!

550. What is going on?

551. You're not going anywhere, okay?

552. Not like this.

553. Who is Sara?

554. She killed somebody,

555. and then she tried to kill a little boy because I...

556. We were talking one night. She was at the clinic,

557. and... and she asked me what I would do to see you again.

558. If it was something bad, would it be worth it?

559. And I said yes.

560. I don't...

561. I gave her permission,

562. and then the next day, she— Fuck.

563. I just wanted to see you again so badly that I—

564. I wasn't even listening to the question,

565. and now, you're here, and I'm wondering

566. if that's my fault, too. And I just...

567. No. I just feel like all I've been doing lately is

568. - hurting people, and I just— - No. Hey.

569. This is not your fault.

570. I am here.

571. Okay?

572. We're together.

573. Come inside.

574. Come inside.

575. His name was Christopher.

576. Christopher.

577. Come with me.

578. What? No. Come on.

579. It's right over here.

580. This was his car.

581. He seemed nice at first, 'cause he made people laugh.

582. That— that wasn't an easy thing to do back then.

583. People liked him.

584. And then?

585. Then he changed.

586. - Changed how? - I— I don't...

587. I don't like this. Uh, we should go back.

588. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

589. - But we had a deal. - Mm.

590. Right? I played your song. I held up my end.

591. You don't understand.

592. You shouldn't be asking these questions.

593. Why? Why? Why?

594. - Mm. - Huh?

595. Look. I haven't had a good night's sleep

596. since I fucking got here, and I'm— and I'm seeing things,

597. things that are scaring the shit out of me.

598. And it's— and it's all because of this, right here!

599. And whoever this Christopher guy was, he saw it, too!

600. He saw it. He obsessed over it.

601. He drew it a thousand fucking times.

602. So you playing your whole weird, creepy mystery man routine,

603. it's not exactly helping me feel any better!

604. When did he start seeing the symbol?

605. - I don't know. - What does it mean?

606. - I don't know! - Well, what the fuck

607. do you know?

608. I'm sorry.

609. I'm just...

610. I know these things are scary,

611. and... I know that these aren't things

612. that you really want to talk about, but...

613. I am at the end of my rope.

614. Please.

615. Everyone died.

616. When Christopher started seeing that symbol,

617. things... changed.

618. He changed,

619. and he didn't make people laugh anymore.

620. He— he stopped smiling.

621. One night, my mother told me to hide somewhere new,

622. somewhere different, somewhere Christopher didn't know,

623. and when I woke up the next morning, everyone...

624. There are bad things here.

625. They make people do bad things.

626. I'm sorry.

627. I'm here!

628. I'm here!

629. I'm here!

630. Anghkooey!

631. Anghkooey!

632. Anghkooey.

633. Anghkooey.

634. Anghkooey!

635. Anghkooey!

636. Anghkooey!

637. Anghkooey!

638. Anghkooey.

639. Anghkooey. Anghkooey. Anghkooey.

640. - Who are you? - Anghkooey.

641. - Anghkooey. - Anghkooey.

642. - Anghkooey. - I'm not afraid of you.

643. - Anghkooey. - I'm not afraid of you.

644. Anghkooey, Anghkooey, Anghkooey, Anghkooey!

645. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

646. Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Don't! Don't! Don't, please!

647. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't!

648. Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

649. - Don't touch me, please! - Anghkooey!

650. - Please don't touch me! - Anghkooey!

651. No, no, no! Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

652. Anghkooey, Anghkooey, Anghkooey, Anghkooey.

653. No! Don't! No! No!

654. Don't touch me! Please don't touch me! Don't touch me!

655. Don't touch me!

656. Huh? I don't—

657. Hey! Hey!

658. - You okay? - I don't...

659. Did you see that?

660. Your nose is— your nose is bleeding.

661. Did you see that? Did you see them? Where the fuck...

662. See? See what?

663. See who?

664. What?

665. Boyd.

666. Look. I don't wanna do this right now, Jim.

667. I'm not here to argue.

668. I mean, I don't agree with what you did, but...

669. but I looked at that girl today,

670. and I didn't see a psychopath.

671. I didn't see a vicious killer.

672. I saw a broken kid.

673. And I'm looking around, and...

674. I'm seeing a lot of people pushed to their edge.

675. Okay.

676. You ever wonder if maybe that's the point?

677. What are you talking about?

678. We heard a voice on the radio.

679. Yeah. Me and Donna,

680. right as the storm was coming in,

681. and whoever it was, he knew my name,

682. knew what my wife was doing in the house,

683. in the basement of our house.

684. And I thought maybe I was crazy.

685. I think people are watching us.

686. - I think people are listening. - Jim—

687. Now, there are experiments like this

688. going all the way back to World War II.

689. Look. We don't have to trust each other.

690. We don't even have to like each other.

691. But we've gotta start working together on this.

692. Now, I don't know what they want from us,

693. but if you can give me a more rational explanation

694. for what's going on here, I'd love to hear it.

695. I gotta go, Jim.

696. Hello?

697. Tian-Chen?

698. Tian-Chen?

699. Shit.

700. I...

701. I was hoping we could talk.
