Caroline! Why didn't
you answer your phone?
You're not gonna believe
what I found out.
Caroline?
What are you doing here?
Where's my wife?
WOMAN: Now you're
worried about your wife?
I'm sorry, Oliver.
It was time.
I had to tell her your secret.
Oh, thank God you're okay.
Don't touch me.
What's wrong?
Oliver, I need you to leave.
What did you do?
I don't know
what you're fucking doing,
the fuck out of my house.
Oliver, you know the truth.
OLIVER: This is
your last warning.
How could you do this?
Cheat on me
with a filthy stripper?
Caroline, don't listen
to this. She's a fraud.
Why would she lie?
She has proof.
How could you do this to her
after all
that you've been through?
Get out of my house!
Stop yelling at her.
I want a divorce.
Do you hear me?
I want a divorce.
I don't want to see you again.
You're a liar.
WOMAN: Oliver, it's over.
Let her go.

Eloise, I'm here.
I'm so happy to see you.
Look, I brought my new dolly.

It's good to see you.
[laughs]
Come on.

You're never alone
when you're here, Oliver.
Yeah, family trip time.
It's family trip time.
But, Jack, I've been
coming here for years.
How do you do it?
You look exactly the same,
like you haven't aged a day.
Well...
time's sort of different here.
one of those kind of people.
I am. I'll take that
as a compliment.
And so are you.
[laughs]
Well, thanks...
- ...I think.
how's business, by the way?
Well, it's been tough.
Yeah.
You know,
we've been prioritizing,
gonna stop coming here.
she loves it too much.
Yeah, this place
loves you, too,
and your family.
You've known me that long.
your great-grandfather.
I knew your grandfather. Yes.
You know, I swear
I can still see him here.
I see a lot
of strange things here.
It's the energy of the place.
Yeah.
Hey, can I ask you a favor?
What is, Jack?
Look, I found out
that somebody
is in the near futurehis place
just to tear it down.
Oh.
And I'm a custodian.
I can't let that happen.
that's got that kind of money
that could buy this place?
I mean, that's terrible.
I mean,
I don't know anybody. I--
I mean, if I won the lottery,
I'd buy the place, but...
Yeah, I know you would.
I know you would.
Thank you.
I'll definitely let you know.
How's your headache?
[chuckles] How did
you know I had a headache?
Oh...
I-I have a distant relativenamed
If he had a headache,
whiskey's the answer.
- If he stubs his toe,
ah, whiskey's the answer.
- There you go. All of that.
I have something for you.
There was a woman
who was close to death
as you can get.
She took one of these,
and she was fine.
I wouif I were you,,
until you find out
what the ingredients are.
And it will change
your life forever.
Is this even a language?
[whoosh]
Jack?
[mysterious music playing]
[birds chirping]
MAN: That's it. Good.
All right.
WOMAN: Mommy loves you.
Bye-bye.
Be careful out there.
I love you.
I love you.
Where's my baby?
and she's not a baby anymore.
GIRL: I'm so happy.
What's the name of that pharma
attorney your friend knows?
but I can find out.
Why?
Looking to do some business?
Nah. I just have a question.
I remember the day
about a year ago
when you came in here
and you told me
you wanted to combine
two deadly chemicals
into a wonder drug.
I thought, "This guy is nuts."
[chuckles] Now it's become
a major medical breakthrough.
Amazing.
Cooper, I thought
this process took forever,
like three or five years.
Usually does.
the bureaucracy's attention,
which is not easy to achieve.
The FDA wants to move on this,
and if these clinical trials
turn out the way
I think they're going to,
it's a big win for us.
these trials are successful.
You know, I've always
wanted to help people,
and I think that this drug
gives me an opportunity
for that.
Yeah, well, helping people'sall w
But I'm thinking that, uh,
it's time for you
to have a little fun.
Well, listen,
battered women's shelter
that Caroline and I
want to support,
and I want to buy
the Spring Manor.
And thauntil now.r possible
Spring Manor? Yeah.
Now, there is a bottomless pit
of repair bills.
- I got to advise you
to spend your money
a little more wisely.
Spending your money
on some rare art
or some vintage wines.
A new Ferrari.
Huh?
on your investments.
That'd work.
Or...
maybe a little, uh...
on the side.
Huh?
Cooper, I'm a married man.
Don't stop the Europeans.
[laughs]
But we're not in Europe,
Oh, and I think we're getting
a little ahead of ourselves.
Let's just see
the trial results first.
What the hell's this obsession
with Spring Manor?
- That's- Oh, you know, know.
I've been going there
since I was a kid.
Oliver...
the press, they love you.
They see a man who's made
an amazing discovery,
you know?
And then you have
these press conferences,
the whole thing down
by telling that you
had an epiphany
walking in the woods
at Spring Manor,
that old fucking place.
We're marketing you,
not that place.
Cooper, it's the truth.
That's what happened.
Well, sometimes it's better
to let the truth lie fallow.
[cell phone rings]
[ring ring]
'Scuse me for a sec.
[ring ring]
Caroline.
No, we haven't
gotten the results yet.
We'rany minute. them
I think it's probably
better for you and Katie
to without me.pring Manor
I think that's a good idea.
I don't want
to disappoint her.
Come on. Why is she upset?
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Oliver, you are never around.
Now, what, you're going
to miss this trip?
You promised you would
ride bikes with her.
Caroline, I'm not
gonna miss the trip.
I hope not.
It's a tradition.
Okay, listen to me.
I can ride bikes
with her anytime.
This deal
is what's important now.
COOPER: They're here.
Hey, I gotta go.
WOMAfor you, gentlemen.r
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Gentlemen.
the delay with these results.
We've actually been talking
the process has been.
I'm Dr. Stevens,
and this is Spencer Ross
from HL Pharmaceuticals.
from Switzerland to meet you.
Great.
And I'm Oliver Cook."Mr. Cook.
I'm not a doctor.
Not a doctor?
Something wrong?
No. I--
I came to tell you
we've concluded our second
clinical trial, Mr. Cook.
reanalyzed the test results.
We had a sample size
of 5,000 patients.
Let me start by saying there
were no adverse side effects.
Well, that's great news.
How effective was it?
The compound you discovered
effectively target, treat,
and destroy a number
of incurable diseases.
Well, th-that's amazing.
At what rate?
Eh, Let me explain.
Mr. Cook, um,
if we have a sample size
of 5,000 people,
normally, if 20 people were
treated and they got cured,
that would be a huge success.
Then we would suggest it
to the terminally ill patients
so that they can prolong
their life, essentially.
And?
have you developed, Mr. Cook?
Well, this is my first.
You need to understand
the importance
of what I'm about to say.
This medicine treated
all 5,000
terminally ill patients.
[chuckles] Actually,
"treated" is not even
the right word to use.
are back to normal.
All of them show
no symptoms of a disease.
It's as if your medicine
attacked the sickness like
it was a simple headache.
of a miracle cure, Mr. Cook.
Mr. Ross,
what would you estimate
the value of this to be
on today's market?
I think, um...
$50,000 would be
a good starting point.
Uh, that's $50,000 per pill.
Per pill?
That's right, per pill.
Per pill.
REPORTER: Mr. Cook,
let me be the first
to say thank you
for your discovery.
I just want to help people.
millions of people hope.
You said you made your
discovery at Spring Manor.
Tell us about it.
My family goes there
twice a year.
I'm just--I'm supposed
to meet them today.
[tense music playing]
Ma'am, we looked everywhere.
We can't find her.
All-out scavenger hunt.
Nothing.
Katie!
[piano playing]
[restaurant chatter]
[group laughing]
All right, so listen, everyone.
Everyone, I want
to propose a toast.
I want to propose
a toast to everybody.
[cell phone rings]
[ring ring]
Like I was saying,
I want to thank
all of you individually
for your hard work.
wasn't for you guys,
this wouldn't have happened.
And especially to you, buddy.
Salute.
[cell phone buzzes]
And like I was saying,
I'm going to go
answer my phone,
so I'll be right back.
You guys have fun.
I'll be right back.
[tense music playing]
- [cell- [gasps]zzes]
[crying] Oliver,
I've been calling you.
Why didn't you pick up?
I've befor hours, you
and it keeps going
to the voice mail.
I need you, and all you do
those stupid pills!
Caroline, calm down.
I told her to stay close
to the swing set
so I could see her.
The staff, they've been
looking everywhere.
TheyThey lose hope..
She's missing, Oliver!
for hours. She's--
What do you mean,
she's missing?
I need you.

to help me find our daughter.
Just please come.
[crying]
CAROLINE: I don't understand.
We have to find her.
We as many leadslowing
as we possibly can
for the last nine months.
It takes time and costs money.
I doJust bill me directly..
just doesn't disappear.
Respectfully, sir,
the problem is
an unlimited amount
of scenarios to investigate.
Yourafter your discovery.ted
We don't know
if she ran away,
was kidnapped,
or something else.
Who to her at the old house?g
It's in the middle of nowhere.
are off the charts.
People who are envious of
your wealth or intelligence.
Some people are
just bad people,
and they knew
you were coming.
How?
The problem, Mr. Cook,
and not to blame you,
is that you told the press
that your family comes
to the Manor twice a year.
Thisas potential suspects.le
ruled out how her depression
- may- Depression?ced her.
Mrs. Cook mentioned that
your daughter was depressed
because you were ignoring her.
I need to get back to work.
[cell phone chimes]
[ominous music playing]
Are you okay, Mrs. Cook?
I'm okay.
[somber music playing]

I'm so happy.
All right, everyone,
I will see you all next time.

Sure.
going public with the company.
Ah, wIt's not a big deal..
Oh, not a big deal?He's a gen
Oh, I wanted to ask you.
I know he would never
give someone like me
the time of day, but I'm
doing this college report,
and I was just wondering,
is there any way
that you could give me
some one-on-one time
with him to talk?
I'm passionate about business.
I will see what I can do.
Goodbye.
Okay. See you next time.
- I'm sorry.
- Uh...
- Great outfit.
I noa few weeks ago,s outfit
and I thought, wow,
she's got great style.
- I was jealous,
- so I went out and bought it.
- Oh, thank you.
Didn't think
we'd wear it the same day.
And it's a compliment.
Alex Parker.
Caroline Cook.
By the way, I overheard
that brat wanted
to meet your husband just
as he's about to go public,
probably help
with schoolwork.
It's innocent, I'm sure.
Innocent until he's
suddenly making excuses
why he's staying late at work
and getting
strange text messages.
Well, it was nice
to meet you.
- Alex, right?
- Mm-hmm.
grab coffee sometime.
I would love that.
[birds chirping]
[birds squawk]
[clock chiming]
[clock striking]
Caroline, what's wrong?
to ask you something.
What, hon?
Do you think I'm a bad wife?
What are you talking about?
Oliver, I need you
to be honest with me.
I will be honest with you.
Are you having an affair?
[tense music playing]
- [groans]
the other women, Oliver.
There are no other women.
Oliver, I have looked
through your phone.
I have seen the texts,
and I've seen the calls.
I've been getting
calls and texts,
been answering them.
You can look at my phone
if you don't trust me.
Then why?
Why don't you love me anymore?
our daughter? Tell me.
Caroline,
you don't talk that way.
You can't shoulder
that burden.
That was my fault.
I should have been there.
I don't want to hear you
talk like that again.
Then, why so distant?
come home from work.
I'm so lonely in this house.
I stay at work,
because it's the only way
I can handle the guilt.
I should have been there.
And sometimes...
I feel like...
I don't want to go on.
How can you say that?
I don't deserve any of this.
I have nothing.
You have me.
I'm here for you.
[sighs]
I know you're here for me.
And I'm here for you.
Tomorrow we go public.
it should be just you and me.
I would like that very much.
[party chatter]
[pop music playing]
MAN: Get me set up with
a meeting, one on one.

Never.
- Where's the champagne?
- [laughs]
What happens in here?
Oh...
anything you want.
I should know
your name first.
Vixen.
Named after your grandmother.
It's not my real name.
It's my stage name.
Really?
My real name is Brittany.
I shouldn't be here.
I'm a married man,
and I don't think I can
trust myself around you.
the only married man in here?
Just consider this
an audition.
Audition for what?
Well, your friend said
you have enough money
for a wife and a girlfriend,
so I'll be your girlfriend.
I thought she was your friend.
your marriage is on the rocks
and you just need to have
a little bit of fun.
Consider me your backup plan.
She talks a lot about me.
Would you stop talking
and let me finish
my first impression?
[pop music playing]
Oh, here we go
Oh, here we go
Oh, here we go...
I think you might be
a little too good at this.
Well, I have to be.
It's how I make my money.
I keep bringing you money?
I'm a stripper, not a whore.
What's the difference?
Behave yourself.
Don't be mean.
I'm sorry. I was rude.
You wouldn't understand.
You've never been broke.
I have to pay for things.
Like what?
Like day care for my daughter.
You have a daughter?
What, is that bad?
She's the most
important thing to me,
and I would do anything
for her.
[Alex laughs]
OLIVThe night's not over.o.
You're coming in.
We're having a nightcap.
but Caroline's sleeping.
I don't want to wake her up.
[laughs]
How is this a meeting?
celebrating. Come on in.
COOPER: All right.
You talked me into it.
Whoo! [laughs]
Well, that was a 1965 Scotch.
Yeah, it's smooth.
[scoffs]
[thunder rumbling]
Your signature, please, sir.
[footsteps]
OLIVER: Caroline.
[thunder crashes]
Hello, dear.
Hi.
COOPER: Good to see you.
- Did we wake you? I'm sorry.
- No. No, no, no.
- We were making...
a lot of noise.
Alex, this beautiful woman
is my wife, Caroline.
Caroline.
Oh, my God. How are you?
You two know each other?
We're friends from yoga.
You owe me a coffee date.
Well, it's nice to see you.
How did you get here?
I'm Cooper's date.
I love your hair.
I know some great people
in the hair industry,
but your hair is amazing.
Mm, thank you.
you were dating Cooper.
[laughs] Well,
if one date equals dating,
then we're dating.
It's a small world that
you guys know each other.
Oliver tells me
you're gearing up
- for your big trip. Uh...
- Oh, what trip?
I'll just send you
some outfits to take with you.
You know, we don't like
to talk about where we travel.
You know, my wife's
interested in fashion,
and Alex is with Dalton.
Are you familiar with them?
No, never heard of them.
We're an upstart company.
We're local.
Uh, where do you live?
In Brookstone.
Wow.
- It's a nice area.- [chuckles
Caroline,
you should come visit.
We'll go shopping.
Mm, that sounds fun.
We have an estate there.
Uh, where in Brookstone?
In Riverton.
Well, I think it's time
for me to go to bed.
I have to be up early.
Cooper, take any
of the empty rooms.
You know where they are.
- All right.
Well, good night.
Good night, you guys.
Good night.
You have fun, you two.
Sweet dreams.
Thanks for letting us crash.
OLIVER: Of course.
[clock ticking]
Been a long day for me.
Why don't we go lie down?
[laughs]
It's so early.
And iwith a man I just met,ng
you're dead wrong.
You said you like to party.
I do.
[thunder rumbles]
Do you have any drugs?
I do.
I take these, um,
piles up on my desk.
There you go.
Perfect.
I don't feel like sleeping.
[thunder crashing]
OLIVER: She says
she's from Brookstone,
but there's no Riverton.
I know.
She's probably
just trying to fit in.
I get a weird vibe.
[thunder rumbling]
Uh, sweetheart,
I'm getting tired.
Let's go to bed.
You're tired?
And I went shopping.
I don't think I'm tired.
You're not tired?
- I'm not tired.
- Mm-mmm.
- Get over here.
- [chuckles]
[cell phone chimes]
What is that?
[cell phone chimes]
[ominous music playing]
I don't know who that is.
[insects chirping]
[thunder rumbling]
[ominous music playing]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[chuckles]
- Where's Cooper?
- [yelps]
Oh, my God. What a night.
I don't know.
He can't keep up.
You haven't been to bed?
- What time is it?
- 7 a.m.
[chuckles] Guess not.
What were you doing
with the phone?
I was live-streamingthe house
Why? Why would you do that?
I would think people
would want to know
what it's like
to live like us.
are private people.
Don't do that.
You know...
I know we haven't known
each other very long,
but I sense people.
You're a good person.
We connect.
Are you sure your Caroline's
the right person for you?
I'm positive Caroline's
the right person for me.
Okay.
Then why don't you
have any kids?
Oliver.
I hope you don't mind.
the lingerie you bought her.
[dramatic music playing]
What do you think?
[chuckles]
I can tell you and Caroline
haven't had sex in a long time.
Have Cooper call me.
[tense music playing]
Call Caroline.
[line rings]
Hi, honey.
Caroline, I don't want
that girl in our house.
She doesn't bother me.
Kind of eccentric.
It's nice to see someone
having fun in this house.
She didn't go to bedall night
She was on something.
She of the house.deos
I think she likes
our lifestyle.
I thI can use a friend. me.
She's hiding something.
I don't want her in our home.
you're overreacting.
And I just saw them
take off in an Uber.
Call me later.
Good morning, Mr. Cook.
Good morning.
Good morning, Martha.
Good morning, Mr. Cook.
What is on the agenda?
[sighs] Okay,
you have a 9 a.m.
with the group from Japan,
an unusual amount of emails
that have come in
in the last hour.
Really?
From a Ms. Parker.
Ms. Parker?
They're of a private nature.
What are they?
to take a look by yourself.
Martha, what are they?
She sent you
a collection of pictures,
private pictures.
And one refers
to, um, oral sex.
That's enough, Martha.
Uh, close my doors.
[tense music playing]
Your call has been forwarded
to an automated
voice messaging system.
Cooper, call me.

Meet me at the bar.
[typing]
[ominous music playing]
[scraping]
[furniture thumps]
Oliver, is that you?
[gasps]
Oh, my God. You startled me.
What are you doing?
expensive stuff you never use.
Excuse me?
You heard me. [chuckles]
Someone's spoiled.
When did you and Cooper
come back?
Oh, Cooper isn't here,
I don't think.
I don't know.
I just got up.
Well, if Cooper isn't here,
then maybe you should go.
Saw you in the shower.
You have a really nice body.
[thunder rumbling]
I have some things to do.
I think you should leave.
I'll call you.
And where am I supposed to go?
Home. Away.
I don't care.
You have all this,
not willing to share?
We're friends.
Alex, you need to leave.
I know a lot about you.
I know that there
are other women.
- I know about your daughter.
I know Oliver's
depressed over it.
What do you know
about my daughter?
[chuckles]
what you can find out
on the night out
with the boys.
maybe I'll tell you.
If you're really good,
maybe I'll let you
be my mistress.
What is that
supposed to mean?
Caroline, sit down.
I know a lot about you.
I look up to you.
I knunderstand this, but...t
I lost my sister
when I was younger.
You remind me a lot of her.
I feel like I need
to tell you something,
like you're my sister.
I understand loss.
What do you want to tell me?
I know it's a lot to take in.
And you probably
won't believe me,
but I can prove it.
Prove what?
Oliver's cheating on you.
[tense music playing]
I-I have a lot more,
but this is all
I can bring myself
to show you right now.
Last night, he kept
getting all these texts
and pictures
from random women.
He was showing
them off to Cooper.
I sent this one to myself
from Cooper's phone.
I saw this one, too.
He was drunk.
He told me he doesn't want
to fix things with you.
[bar chatter]
[piano playing]
Hey. How you doing?
I zipped in
so fast in the airport.
No traffic. No nothing.
So what's on your mind?
What was so important
it couldn't wait?
Your girl,
that's what's important,
Alex.
What--What about her?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe a hundred emails
and texts telling me
leave my wife for her.
What? How'd she
get your phone number?
She says she got my number
from your phone.
No. I got a pass code.
I got a fingerprint reader.
Nobody breaking into my phone.
That's not true.
Well, then how did
she get my number?
I don't know.
[sighs]
Oliver, I wouldn't worry
about her, all right?
I think she's harmless.
She's definitely
pretty straight,
because she didn't jump
into bed with me
last night, that's for sure.
Well,on something.ll night
She was making a mess,
and I know
she pissed off Caroline,
'cause she's not
answering her phone.
And she always
answers her phone.
What time did you
leave this morning?
I left early.
I had to get to the airport,
and when I got up,
she wasn't around,
she jumped in a cab and left.
You left
that nut-job in my home?
I thought she left.
Oliver, I'm sorry, all right?
I'm working overtime.
I'm stretched thin.
I apologize.
Speaking of work, sign these.
Cooper, I don't
have time for this.
[tense music playing]
Caroline! Why didn't
you answer your phone?
You're not gonna believe
what I found out.
What are you doing here?
Where's my wife?
Now you're worried
about your wife?
I'm sorry, Oliver.
It was time.
I had to tell her your secret.
It wasn't fair to her.
What are you talking about?
And I told her you kissed me.
Ah, you told her
I kissed you.
Where's Caroline?
Oh, thank God you're okay.
Don't touch me.
What's wrong?
Oliver, I need you to leave.
What did you do?
what the fuck you're doing,
the fuck out of my house.
Oliver, you know the truth.
This is your last warning.
ALEX: This isn't about a kiss.
I told her about Brittany.
How could you do this?
Cheat on me
with a filthy stripper?
Caroline, don't listen
to this. She's a fraud.
Why would she lie?
She has proof.
the picture of your mistress.
I got it from Cooper.
You set me up, bitch.
That was your plan all along.
Caroline, don't believe her.
How could you do this to her
after all
that you've been through?
Get out of my house!
Stop yelling at her.
I want a divorce.
Do you hear me?
I want a divorce.
I don't want to ever see
you again. You're a liar.
Caroline,
you're being so brave.
Oliver, it's over.
Let her go.
Get the fuck out of my house.
Get the fuck out of my house!
You're so angry,
you're scaring me.
[scoffs] No wonder Caroline
went missing because of you.
Missing because of me?
our dead daughter into this?
I was damn near suicidal.
Maybe if you were man enough
to go through with it earlier,
she'd be still alive.
Oliver, look at me, please.
I was wrong. Talk to me.
It'I'm so sorry.meant.
I didn't mean to say--
It's not true.
You never want
to see me again.
You don't matter?rds
Be careful
what you wish for.
[thunder rumbling]
Went missing because of me.
Look at me.
You never have to see me again.
No, please don't say that.

I've been trying to get hold
of you and Oliver for hours.

Oliver left upset.
I couldn't catch him.
He's really distraught,
Cooper.
I'm scared.
What happened
between you two?
[sighs] We were fighting.
Our daughter came up.
I blamed him.
Blamed him for what?
Her death.
[thunder rumbling]
Oh, my God.
We gotta find him.
There's something else.
[sighs] I told him
I woif he killed himself.off
Why the fuck would you
say such a thing?
Cooper, I didn't mean it.
I caught him cheating on me.
I was so mad.
Cheating on you with who?
I'm his lawyer.
It's my job to know
everything about him,
incland I'm telling youing,
not cheating on you.
Don't cover for him.
I'm not covering for him.
I care about you, Caroline.
And there's nothing
to cover. Nothing!
Alex told me
he's been cheating on me
with a stripper
named Brittany.
Alex?
Alex is your source?
Oh, that's great.
I met Alex last night
at Oliver's event
for the first time.
She insisted on going
to the strip club.
That's the only reason
why we were there.
And I'm telling you,
Oliver'with any stripper.fair
had been cheating for a while
and that you
told her these secrets.
Why would she lie?
She would lie because she was
up all night doing speed.
That's why.
this whole story up,
it means she's crazy.
[sighs]
This is all my fault.
I'm such an asshole.
that she's attracted to me,
and--and I just fall for it.
I'm sorry, Caroline.
The whole thing just...
trickled down from there.
She had a picture
of Oliver with a stripper.
I saw it.

OLIVER: I can ride bikes

Don't kill yourself, Oliver.
It's not your time.
DETECTIVE: Depression

CAROLINE: Daddy's not coming.

This land is very unique.
It has seen
the Revolutionary War,
the Civil War,
the witch trials,
all kinds of things.

All kinds of emotions
and a waterfall of energy.
Time is a little strange here.
You use your emotions,
you get pulled
into all kinds of events,
all kinds of energy.
And that's why I see
all these strange things?
Some people think of time
in straight line.
They live. They die.

Jack, where did you
get those pills?
Uh...
I, uh, found them
in a different era,
one that you'll never know.
And you could--
you could just take them?
Yeah, exactly.
It's remarkable, huh?
I sure did.
And I'm supposed
to believe this?
So let me guess.
Let me guess, Jack.You're dead
No, Oliver.
Some things
you do in the past
have definite consequences
in the future.
Are you saying
I'm in the past?

Have you seen her today?
Yeah. I saw her Instagram.
She's in some big house
and says it's hers.
When was the last time
you saw my husband?
He was in a while ago.
He was really upset.
He seemed out of it.
Did he say anything?
Said he needed to be
with his daughter.
Seemed about her.ried
We gotta go.
MAN: Sure you can. Whoa.
You asshole. How could you
bring that filth into my home?
All I care about right now

Uh, trust me, we'll find him.
Thank you, Cooper.

You need to protect me.
You want me to protect you?
What do you know
about my daughter?
If I tell you...

You're just fucking with me.
Oliver. Oliver, please.

escaped that hole,
I had to live on the street.
I was homeless,
forever dreaming what it
was like to be wanted...
like you.
Then one day, I saw you
and your perfect
fucking family on TV
after Oliver saved the world.
And I thought...
"That's supposed
to be my family."
I sat there thinking
of every way I was
gonna ruin your life.
So now

You can't ruin my life.
I already have.

Well, this is where
it gets interesting.
Kate is Kate Cook,

considered a witch
and was convicted
during the witch trials.
Does Jack have
any surviving relatives?
Yes, he has one, Mike Wilson,
and he lives near here.
Mike Wilson.

Well, I've been going theresince
I bought the place.I donated
a medical research facility.
Uh-huh.
so obsessed with its history,
and that's how we found you.
Well, Jack Wilson
built that house.
Yeah, with his brother Alden.
Alden was
my great-great-great...
eh, I don't know how many
times over grandfather.
Jack liked whiskey?
I-I think anybody
that knows Jack
knows that he loves whiskey.
Whiskey or women.
Oh, boy.
That's what did him in.
Nowhad too much whiskey. Alden
Yeah. They started a fight
over a woman named Kate.
Alden got mad,
and he killed his brother.
We're sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
Oh, legend says that, uh...
Kate could see things, yeah.
[spooky] Oooh...
And, uh, talk to people
from a different time.
The people in the town
labeled her a witch
and were gonna
burn her at the stake.
She locked herself
in the house
to take her own life
when something happened.
She screamed for help.
A mysterious person came.
He protected her from the mob
by shooting fire
from his hands.
Anyway, the mob
never bothered her again.
She lived in that house
the day she died.
Story goes that she
was so heartbroken
from the loss of Jack
that she said a prayer,
hoping to save Jack's soul.
He was to protect
the house eternally.

Uh, excuse me, young lady.

Now come sit down here,
young lady.

flipping their tails
trying to attract
your attention.
- CAROLINE: They may have.
- Mm-hmm.
[tender music playing]
JACK: Oliver, I wanted
to protect the house.
about consequences.
I'm selfish.
The loss of your daughter
haunts me to my core
every minute of every hour.
I can't save your daughter.
But you can.
I will take you by the hand
to that moment in time.
I changed history once,
but at a very high price.
Whatever you do,
they're your consequences.
[dramatic music playing]
We need to go to Spring Manor.
[bicycle bell ringing]
JACK: You can do
what you've always done
your whole life,
protect your family.

I need you

you answer your phone?
You're not gonna believe
what I found out.
Caroline?
What are you doing here?
Where's my wife?
WOMAN: Now you're
worried about your wife?
I'm sorry, Oliver.
It was time.
I had to tell her your secret.
Oh, thank God you're okay.
Don't touch me.
What's wrong?
Oliver, I need you to leave.
What did you do?
I don't know
what you're fucking doing,
the fuck out of my house.
Oliver, you know the truth.
OLIVER: This is
your last warning.
How could you do this?
Cheat on me
with a filthy stripper?
Caroline, don't listen
to this. She's a fraud.
Why would she lie?
She has proof.
How could you do this to her
after all
that you've been through?
Get out of my house!
Stop yelling at her.
I want a divorce.
Do you hear me?
I want a divorce.
I don't want to see you again.
You're a liar.
WOMAN: Oliver, it's over.
Let her go.
[footsteps receding]

Mommy, I can't wait.
Make sure I see you, okay?

Eloise, I'm here.
I'm so happy to see you.
Look, I brought my new dolly.
Sweetheart, will you check in?

Are you okay?

you out there?
It's good to see you.

Come on.
you doing out here?
You're never alone
when you're here, Oliver.
Yeah, family trip time.
It's family trip time.
But, Jack, I've been
coming here for years.
How do you do it?
You look exactly the same,
like you haven't aged a day.
Well...
time's sort of different here.
one of those kind of people.
I am. I'll take that
as a compliment.
And so are you.
[laughs]
Well, thanks...
- ...I think.
how's business, by the way?
Well, it's been tough.
Yeah.
You know,
we've been prioritizing,
gonna stop coming here.
she loves it too much.
Yeah, this place
loves you, too,
and your family.
You've known me that long.
your great-grandfather.
I knew your grandfather. Yes.
You know, I swear
I can still see him here.
I see a lot
of strange things here.
It's the energy of the place.
Yeah.
Hey, can I ask you a favor?
What is, Jack?
Look, I found out
that somebody
is in the near futurehis place
just to tear it down.
Oh.
And I'm a custodian.
I can't let that happen.
that's got that kind of money
that could buy this place?
I mean, that's terrible.
I mean,
I don't know anybody. I--
I mean, if I won the lottery,
I'd buy the place, but...
Yeah, I know you would.
I know you would.
Thank you.
I'll definitely let you know.
How's your headache?
[chuckles] How did
you know I had a headache?
Oh...
I-I have a distant relativenamed
If he had a headache,
whiskey's the answer.
- If he stubs his toe,
ah, whiskey's the answer.
- There you go. All of that.
I have something for you.
There was a woman
who was close to death
as you can get.
She took one of these,
and she was fine.
I wouif I were you,,
until you find out
what the ingredients are.
And it will change
your life forever.
Is this even a language?
[whoosh]
Jack?
[mysterious music playing]
[birds chirping]
MAN: That's it. Good.
All right.
WOMAN: Mommy loves you.
Bye-bye.
Be careful out there.
I love you.
I love you.
Where's my baby?
and she's not a baby anymore.
GIRL: I'm so happy.
What's the name of that pharma
attorney your friend knows?
but I can find out.
Why?
Looking to do some business?
Nah. I just have a question.
I remember the day
about a year ago
when you came in here
and you told me
you wanted to combine
two deadly chemicals
into a wonder drug.
I thought, "This guy is nuts."
[chuckles] Now it's become
a major medical breakthrough.
Amazing.
Cooper, I thought
this process took forever,
like three or five years.
Usually does.
the bureaucracy's attention,
which is not easy to achieve.
The FDA wants to move on this,
and if these clinical trials
turn out the way
I think they're going to,
it's a big win for us.
these trials are successful.
You know, I've always
wanted to help people,
and I think that this drug
gives me an opportunity
for that.
Yeah, well, helping people'sall w
But I'm thinking that, uh,
it's time for you
to have a little fun.
Well, listen,
battered women's shelter
that Caroline and I
want to support,
and I want to buy
the Spring Manor.
And thauntil now.r possible
Spring Manor? Yeah.
Now, there is a bottomless pit
of repair bills.
- I got to advise you
to spend your money
a little more wisely.
Spending your money
on some rare art
or some vintage wines.
A new Ferrari.
Huh?
on your investments.
That'd work.
Or...
maybe a little, uh...
on the side.
Huh?
Cooper, I'm a married man.
Don't stop the Europeans.
[laughs]
But we're not in Europe,
Oh, and I think we're getting
a little ahead of ourselves.
Let's just see
the trial results first.
What the hell's this obsession
with Spring Manor?
- That's- Oh, you know, know.
I've been going there
since I was a kid.
Oliver...
the press, they love you.
They see a man who's made
an amazing discovery,
you know?
And then you have
these press conferences,
the whole thing down
by telling that you
had an epiphany
walking in the woods
at Spring Manor,
that old fucking place.
We're marketing you,
not that place.
Cooper, it's the truth.
That's what happened.
Well, sometimes it's better
to let the truth lie fallow.
[cell phone rings]
[ring ring]
'Scuse me for a sec.
[ring ring]
Caroline.
No, we haven't
gotten the results yet.
We'rany minute. them
I think it's probably
better for you and Katie
to without me.pring Manor
I think that's a good idea.
I don't want
to disappoint her.
Come on. Why is she upset?
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Oliver, you are never around.
Now, what, you're going
to miss this trip?
You promised you would
ride bikes with her.
Caroline, I'm not
gonna miss the trip.
I hope not.
It's a tradition.
Okay, listen to me.
I can ride bikes
with her anytime.
This deal
is what's important now.
COOPER: They're here.
Hey, I gotta go.
WOMAfor you, gentlemen.r
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Gentlemen.
the delay with these results.
We've actually been talking
the process has been.
I'm Dr. Stevens,
and this is Spencer Ross
from HL Pharmaceuticals.
from Switzerland to meet you.
Great.
And I'm Oliver Cook."Mr. Cook.
I'm not a doctor.
Not a doctor?
Something wrong?
No. I--
I came to tell you
we've concluded our second
clinical trial, Mr. Cook.
reanalyzed the test results.
We had a sample size
of 5,000 patients.
Let me start by saying there
were no adverse side effects.
Well, that's great news.
How effective was it?
The compound you discovered
effectively target, treat,
and destroy a number
of incurable diseases.
Well, th-that's amazing.
At what rate?
Eh, Let me explain.
Mr. Cook, um,
if we have a sample size
of 5,000 people,
normally, if 20 people were
treated and they got cured,
that would be a huge success.
Then we would suggest it
to the terminally ill patients
so that they can prolong
their life, essentially.
And?
have you developed, Mr. Cook?
Well, this is my first.
You need to understand
the importance
of what I'm about to say.
This medicine treated
all 5,000
terminally ill patients.
[chuckles] Actually,
"treated" is not even
the right word to use.
are back to normal.
All of them show
no symptoms of a disease.
It's as if your medicine
attacked the sickness like
it was a simple headache.
of a miracle cure, Mr. Cook.
Mr. Ross,
what would you estimate
the value of this to be
on today's market?
I think, um...
$50,000 would be
a good starting point.
Uh, that's $50,000 per pill.
Per pill?
That's right, per pill.
Per pill.
REPORTER: Mr. Cook,
let me be the first
to say thank you
for your discovery.
I just want to help people.
millions of people hope.
You said you made your
discovery at Spring Manor.
Tell us about it.
My family goes there
twice a year.
I'm just--I'm supposed
to meet them today.
[tense music playing]

I want to thank
all of you individually

And especially to you, buddy.

Why didn't you pick up?
I've befor hours, you

to the voice mail.
I need you, and all you do

Caroline, calm down.
I told her to stay close

TheyThey lose hope..
She's missing, Oliver!

What do you mean,

Just please come.
[crying]
CAROLINE: I don't understand.
We have to find her.
We as many leadslowing
as we possibly can

It takes time and costs money.
I doJust bill me directly..

Respectfully, sir,
the problem is
an unlimited amount
of scenarios to investigate.
Yourafter your discovery.ted
We don't know
if she ran away,
was kidnapped,
or something else.
Who to her at the old house?g
It's in the middle of nowhere.
are off the charts.
People who are envious of
your wealth or intelligence.
Some people are
just bad people,
and they knew
you were coming.
How?
The problem, Mr. Cook,
and not to blame you,
is that you told the press
that your family comes
to the Manor twice a year.
Thisas potential suspects.le
ruled out how her depression
- may- Depression?ced her.
Mrs. Cook mentioned that
your daughter was depressed
because you were ignoring her.
I need to get back to work.
[cell phone chimes]
[ominous music playing]
Are you okay, Mrs. Cook?
I'm okay.
[somber music playing]

Ah, wIt's not a big deal..
Oh, not a big deal?He's a gen
Oh, I wanted to ask you.
I know he would never
give someone like me
the time of day, but I'm
doing this college report,
and I was just wondering,
is there any way
that you could give me
some one-on-one time
with him to talk?
I'm passionate about business.
I will see what I can do.
Goodbye.
Okay. See you next time.
- I'm sorry.
- Uh...
- Great outfit.
I noa few weeks ago,s outfit
and I thought, wow,
she's got great style.
- I was jealous,
- so I went out and bought it.
- Oh, thank you.
Didn't think
we'd wear it the same day.
And it's a compliment.
Alex Parker.
Caroline Cook.
By the way, I overheard
that brat wanted
to meet your husband just
as he's about to go public,
probably help
with schoolwork.
It's innocent, I'm sure.
Innocent until he's
suddenly making excuses
why he's staying late at work
and getting
strange text messages.
Well, it was nice
to meet you.
- Alex, right?
- Mm-hmm.
grab coffee sometime.
I would love that.
[birds chirping]
[birds squawk]
[clock chiming]

Caroline, what's wrong?
to ask you something.
What, hon?
Do you think I'm a bad wife?
What are you talking about?
Oliver, I need you
to be honest with me.
I will be honest with you.
Are you having an affair?
[tense music playing]
- [groans]
the other women, Oliver.
There are no other women.
Oliver, I have looked
through your phone.
I have seen the texts,
and I've seen the calls.
I've been getting
calls and texts,
been answering them.
You can look at my phone
if you don't trust me.
Then why?
Why don't you love me anymore?
our daughter? Tell me.
Caroline,
you don't talk that way.
You can't shoulder
that burden.
That was my fault.
I should have been there.
I don't want to hear you
talk like that again.
Then, why so distant?
come home from work.
I'm so lonely in this house.
I stay at work,
because it's the only way
I can handle the guilt.
I should have been there.
And sometimes...
I feel like...
I don't want to go on.
How can you say that?
I don't deserve any of this.
I have nothing.
You have me.
I'm here for you.
[sighs]
I know you're here for me.
And I'm here for you.
Tomorrow we go public.
it should be just you and me.
I would like that very much.

Never.
- Where's the champagne?
- [laughs]
What happens in here?
Oh...
anything you want.
I should know
your name first.
Vixen.
Named after your grandmother.
It's not my real name.
It's my stage name.
Really?
My real name is Brittany.
I shouldn't be here.
I'm a married man,
and I don't think I can
trust myself around you.
the only married man in here?
Just consider this
an audition.
Audition for what?
Well, your friend said
you have enough money
for a wife and a girlfriend,
so I'll be your girlfriend.
I thought she was your friend.
your marriage is on the rocks
and you just need to have
a little bit of fun.
Consider me your backup plan.
She talks a lot about me.
Would you stop talking
and let me finish
my first impression?
[pop music playing]
Oh, here we go
Oh, here we go
Oh, here we go...
I think you might be
a little too good at this.
Well, I have to be.
It's how I make my money.
I keep bringing you money?
I'm a stripper, not a whore.
What's the difference?
Behave yourself.
Don't be mean.
I'm sorry. I was rude.
You wouldn't understand.
You've never been broke.
I have to pay for things.
Like what?
Like day care for my daughter.
You have a daughter?
What, is that bad?
She's the most
important thing to me,
and I would do anything
for her.
[Alex laughs]
OLIVThe night's not over.o.
You're coming in.
We're having a nightcap.
but Caroline's sleeping.
I don't want to wake her up.
[laughs]
How is this a meeting?

COOPER: All right.
You talked me into it.
Whoo! [laughs]
Well, that was a 1965 Scotch.
Yeah, it's smooth.
[scoffs]
[thunder rumbling]
Your signature, please, sir.
[footsteps]
OLIVER: Caroline.
[thunder crashes]
Hello, dear.
Hi.
COOPER: Good to see you.
- Did we wake you? I'm sorry.
- No. No, no, no.
- We were making...
a lot of noise.
Alex, this beautiful woman
is my wife, Caroline.
Caroline.
Oh, my God. How are you?
You two know each other?
We're friends from yoga.
You owe me a coffee date.
Well, it's nice to see you.
How did you get here?
I'm Cooper's date.
I love your hair.
I know some great people
in the hair industry,
but your hair is amazing.
Mm, thank you.
you were dating Cooper.
[laughs] Well,
if one date equals dating,
then we're dating.
It's a small world that
you guys know each other.
Oliver tells me
you're gearing up
- for your big trip. Uh...
- Oh, what trip?
I'll just send you
some outfits to take with you.
You know, we don't like
to talk about where we travel.
You know, my wife's
interested in fashion,
and Alex is with Dalton.
Are you familiar with them?
No, never heard of them.
We're an upstart company.
We're local.
Uh, where do you live?
In Brookstone.
Wow.
- It's a nice area.- [chuckles
Caroline,
you should come visit.
We'll go shopping.
Mm, that sounds fun.
We have an estate there.
Uh, where in Brookstone?
In Riverton.
Well, I think it's time
for me to go to bed.
I have to be up early.
Cooper, take any
of the empty rooms.
You know where they are.
- All right.
Well, good night.
Good night, you guys.
Good night.
You have fun, you two.
Sweet dreams.
Thanks for letting us crash.
OLIVER: Of course.
[clock ticking]
Been a long day for me.
Why don't we go lie down?
[laughs]
It's so early.
And iwith a man I just met,ng
you're dead wrong.
You said you like to party.
I do.
[thunder rumbles]
Do you have any drugs?
I do.
I take these, um,
piles up on my desk.
There you go.
Perfect.
I don't feel like sleeping.
[thunder crashing]
OLIVER: She says
she's from Brookstone,
but there's no Riverton.
I know.
She's probably
just trying to fit in.
I get a weird vibe.
[thunder rumbling]
Uh, sweetheart,
I'm getting tired.
Let's go to bed.
You're tired?
And I went shopping.
I don't think I'm tired.
You're not tired?
- I'm not tired.
- Mm-mmm.
- Get over here.
- [chuckles]
[cell phone chimes]
What is that?
[cell phone chimes]
[ominous music playing]
I don't know who that is.
[insects chirping]

[ominous music playing]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[chuckles]
- Where's Cooper?
- [yelps]
Oh, my God. What a night.
I don't know.
He can't keep up.
You haven't been to bed?
- What time is it?
- 7 a.m.
[chuckles] Guess not.
What were you doing
with the phone?
I was live-streamingthe house
Why? Why would you do that?
I would think people
would want to know
what it's like
to live like us.
are private people.
Don't do that.
You know...
I know we haven't known
each other very long,
but I sense people.
You're a good person.
We connect.
Are you sure your Caroline's
the right person for you?
I'm positive Caroline's
the right person for me.
Okay.
Then why don't you
have any kids?
Oliver.
I hope you don't mind.
the lingerie you bought her.
[dramatic music playing]
What do you think?
[chuckles]
I can tell you and Caroline
haven't had sex in a long time.
Have Cooper call me.
[tense music playing]
Call Caroline.
[line rings]
Hi, honey.
Caroline, I don't want
that girl in our house.
She doesn't bother me.
Kind of eccentric.
It's nice to see someone
having fun in this house.
She didn't go to bedall night
She was on something.
She of the house.deos
I think she likes
our lifestyle.
I thI can use a friend. me.
She's hiding something.
I don't want her in our home.
you're overreacting.
And I just saw them
take off in an Uber.
Call me later.
Good morning, Mr. Cook.
Good morning.
Good morning, Martha.
Good morning, Mr. Cook.
What is on the agenda?
[sighs] Okay,
you have a 9 a.m.
with the group from Japan,
an unusual amount of emails
that have come in
in the last hour.
Really?
From a Ms. Parker.
Ms. Parker?
They're of a private nature.
What are they?
to take a look by yourself.
Martha, what are they?
She sent you
a collection of pictures,
private pictures.
And one refers
to, um, oral sex.
That's enough, Martha.
Uh, close my doors.
[tense music playing]
Your call has been forwarded
to an automated
voice messaging system.
Cooper, call me.
what time you fly in tonight.
Meet me at the bar.
[typing]
[ominous music playing]
[scraping]
[furniture thumps]
Oliver, is that you?
[gasps]
Oh, my God. You startled me.
What are you doing?
expensive stuff you never use.
Excuse me?
You heard me. [chuckles]
Someone's spoiled.
When did you and Cooper
come back?
Oh, Cooper isn't here,
I don't think.
I don't know.
I just got up.
Well, if Cooper isn't here,
then maybe you should go.
Saw you in the shower.
You have a really nice body.
[thunder rumbling]
I have some things to do.
I think you should leave.
I'll call you.
And where am I supposed to go?
Home. Away.
I don't care.
You have all this,
not willing to share?
We're friends.
Alex, you need to leave.
I know a lot about you.
I know that there
are other women.
- I know about your daughter.
I know Oliver's
depressed over it.
What do you know
about my daughter?
[chuckles]
what you can find out
on the night out
with the boys.
maybe I'll tell you.
If you're really good,
maybe I'll let you
be my mistress.
What is that
supposed to mean?
Caroline, sit down.
I know a lot about you.
I look up to you.
I knunderstand this, but...t
I lost my sister
when I was younger.
You remind me a lot of her.
I feel like I need
to tell you something,
like you're my sister.
I understand loss.
What do you want to tell me?
I know it's a lot to take in.
And you probably
won't believe me,
but I can prove it.
Prove what?
Oliver's cheating on you.
[tense music playing]
I-I have a lot more,
but this is all
I can bring myself
to show you right now.
Last night, he kept
getting all these texts
and pictures
from random women.
He was showing
them off to Cooper.
I sent this one to myself
from Cooper's phone.
I saw this one, too.
He was drunk.
He told me he doesn't want
to fix things with you.
[bar chatter]
[piano playing]
Hey. How you doing?
I zipped in
so fast in the airport.
No traffic. No nothing.
So what's on your mind?
What was so important
it couldn't wait?
Your girl,
that's what's important,
Alex.
What--What about her?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe a hundred emails
and texts telling me
leave my wife for her.
What? How'd she
get your phone number?
She says she got my number
from your phone.
No. I got a pass code.
I got a fingerprint reader.
Nobody breaking into my phone.
That's not true.
Well, then how did
she get my number?
I don't know.
[sighs]
Oliver, I wouldn't worry
about her, all right?
I think she's harmless.
She's definitely
pretty straight,
because she didn't jump
into bed with me
last night, that's for sure.
Well,on something.ll night
She was making a mess,
and I know
she pissed off Caroline,
'cause she's not
answering her phone.
And she always
answers her phone.
What time did you
leave this morning?
I left early.
I had to get to the airport,
and when I got up,
she wasn't around,
she jumped in a cab and left.
You left
that nut-job in my home?
I thought she left.
Oliver, I'm sorry, all right?
I'm working overtime.
I'm stretched thin.
I apologize.
Speaking of work, sign these.
Cooper, I don't
have time for this.
[tense music playing]
Caroline! Why didn't
you answer your phone?
You're not gonna believe
what I found out.
What are you doing here?
Where's my wife?
Now you're worried
about your wife?
I'm sorry, Oliver.
It was time.
I had to tell her your secret.
It wasn't fair to her.
What are you talking about?
And I told her you kissed me.
Ah, you told her
I kissed you.
Where's Caroline?
Oh, thank God you're okay.
Don't touch me.
What's wrong?
Oliver, I need you to leave.
What did you do?
what the fuck you're doing,
the fuck out of my house.
Oliver, you know the truth.
This is your last warning.
ALEX: This isn't about a kiss.
I told her about Brittany.
How could you do this?
Cheat on me
with a filthy stripper?
Caroline, don't listen
to this. She's a fraud.
Why would she lie?
She has proof.
the picture of your mistress.
I got it from Cooper.
You set me up, bitch.
That was your plan all along.
Caroline, don't believe her.
How could you do this to her
after all
that you've been through?
Get out of my house!
Stop yelling at her.
I want a divorce.
Do you hear me?
I want a divorce.
I don't want to ever see
you again. You're a liar.
Caroline,
you're being so brave.
Oliver, it's over.
Let her go.
Get the fuck out of my house.
Get the fuck out of my house!
You're so angry,
you're scaring me.
[scoffs] No wonder Caroline
went missing because of you.
Missing because of me?
our dead daughter into this?
I was damn near suicidal.
Maybe if you were man enough
to go through with it earlier,
she'd be still alive.
Oliver, look at me, please.
I was wrong. Talk to me.
It'I'm so sorry.meant.
I didn't mean to say--
It's not true.
You never want
to see me again.
You don't matter?rds
Be careful
what you wish for.
[thunder rumbling]
Went missing because of me.
Look at me.
You never have to see me again.
No, please don't say that.

I've been trying to get hold
of you and Oliver for hours.

Oliver left upset.
I couldn't catch him.
He's really distraught,
Cooper.
I'm scared.
What happened
between you two?
[sighs] We were fighting.
Our daughter came up.
I blamed him.
Blamed him for what?
Her death.
[thunder rumbling]
Oh, my God.
We gotta find him.
There's something else.
[sighs] I told him
I woif he killed himself.off
Why the fuck would you
say such a thing?
Cooper, I didn't mean it.
I caught him cheating on me.
I was so mad.
Cheating on you with who?
I'm his lawyer.
It's my job to know
everything about him,
incland I'm telling youing,
not cheating on you.
Don't cover for him.
I'm not covering for him.
I care about you, Caroline.
And there's nothing
to cover. Nothing!
Alex told me
he's been cheating on me
with a stripper
named Brittany.
Alex?
Alex is your source?
Oh, that's great.
I met Alex last night
at Oliver's event
for the first time.
She insisted on going
to the strip club.
That's the only reason
why we were there.
And I'm telling you,
Oliver'with any stripper.fair
had been cheating for a while
and that you
told her these secrets.
Why would she lie?
She would lie because she was
up all night doing speed.
That's why.
this whole story up,
it means she's crazy.
[sighs]
This is all my fault.
I'm such an asshole.
that she's attracted to me,
and--and I just fall for it.
I'm sorry, Caroline.
The whole thing just...
trickled down from there.
She had a picture
of Oliver with a stripper.
I saw it.

OLIVER: I can ride bikes

Don't kill yourself, Oliver.
It's not your time.
DETECTIVE: Depression

This land is very unique.
It has seen
the Revolutionary War,
the Civil War,
the witch trials,
all kinds of things.

All kinds of emotions
and a waterfall of energy.
Time is a little strange here.
You use your emotions,
you get pulled
into all kinds of events,
all kinds of energy.
And that's why I see
all these strange things?
Some people think of time
in straight line.
They live. They die.

Jack, where did you
get those pills?
Uh...
I, uh, found them
in a different era,
one that you'll never know.
And you could--
you could just take them?
Yeah, exactly.
It's remarkable, huh?
I sure did.
And I'm supposed
to believe this?
So let me guess.
Let me guess, Jack.You're dead
No, Oliver.
Some things
you do in the past
have definite consequences
in the future.
Are you saying
I'm in the past?

Have you seen her today?
Yeah. I saw her Instagram.
She's in some big house

He was in a while ago.
He was really upset.
He seemed out of it.
Did he say anything?
Said he needed to be
with his daughter.
Seemed about her.ried
We gotta go.
MAN: Sure you can. Whoa.
You asshole. How could you

You want me to protect you?
What do you know

If I tell you...

escaped that hole,
I had to live on the street.
I was homeless,
forever dreaming what it
was like to be wanted...
like you.
Then one day, I saw you
and your perfect
fucking family on TV
after Oliver saved the world.
And I thought...
"That's supposed
to be my family."
I sat there thinking
of every way I was
gonna ruin your life.
So now
I'm taking back my family.
You can't ruin my life.
I already have.
And I'm not done.

that knows Jack
knows that he loves whiskey.
Whiskey or women.
Oh, boy.
That's what did him in.
Nowhad too much whiskey. Alden
Yeah. They started a fight
over a woman named Kate.
Alden got mad,
and he killed his brother.
We're sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
Oh, legend says that, uh...
Kate could see things, yeah.
[spooky] Oooh...
And, uh, talk to people
from a different time.
The people in the town
labeled her a witch
and were gonna
burn her at the stake.
She locked herself
in the house
to take her own life
when something happened.
She screamed for help.
A mysterious person came.
He protected her from the mob
by shooting fire
from his hands.
Anyway, the mob
never bothered her again.
She lived in that house
the day she died.
Story goes that she
was so heartbroken
from the loss of Jack
that she said a prayer,
hoping to save Jack's soul.
He was to protect
the house eternally.
amazing stories, Mr. Wilson.
Uh, excuse me, young lady.
uh, mail on the table
along with a picture for you.
Now come sit down here,
young lady.
I would love to.
MIKE: I know you
want to feed the fish,
because they've been
flipping their tails
trying to attract
your attention.
- CAROLINE: They may have.
- Mm-hmm.

JACK: Oliver, I wanted
to protect the house.
about consequences.
I'm selfish.
The loss of your daughter
haunts me to my core
every minute of every hour.
I can't save your daughter.
But you can.
I will take you by the hand
to that moment in time.
I changed history once,
but at a very high price.
Whatever you do,
they're your consequences.
[dramatic music playing]
We need to go to Spring Manor.
[bicycle bell ringing]
JACK: You can do
what you've always done
your whole life,
protect your family.
[dramatic music playing]
- OLIVER: Katie.
- [gasps]
I need you
to run to your mother.
[gunshot]
[thunder rumbling]
[birds chirping]
Ma'am, we looked everywhere.
We can't find her.
All-out scavenger hunt.
Nothing.
Katie!
Go to your mom.
- Mommy!
- Kati--
[warm music playing]
I told her don't go
into the woods.
