BOYD: Previously on From
SARA: I hear their voices.
They said it was the
only way to go home!
Sara, just tell me what you did.
SARA: I left the door open.
[SOBBING]
[GASPS]
I saw something that wasn't there.
- What?
- I saw two children
standing in the middle of
the road, staring at me.
Is this Jim?
I am not saying ignore it.
You already got people's hopes
up with your goddamn tower.
All the more reason that we
To keep our fucking mouths shut.
SARA: What's about to happen,
it's gonna save everyone.
ETHAN: Where's my mom? I want my mom!
Ethan, run!
[GRUNTS, SCREAMS]
SARA: Nathan, please!
I spent the entire night with her,
and that scalpel she used,
she took it from my clinic.
This is not your fault.
How exactly are you gonna tell Kenny
that Sara killed his dad?
I did what I had to
do! She was valuable!
She she may still be valuable!
They tore him to pieces, and you knew!
Kenny, please.
You watch your own fucking six.
There's a symbol that I keep seeing.
Look at this.
Look. This guy
he must have been seeing it, too.
That's you, right?
This could be the key to
getting the hell out of here.
Stay away from me!
Welcome to your new home.
Hop on up.
Every night, those things come.
There really is no way out.

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

[GRUNTS]
Boyd!
Hey! You get back downstairs.
Stay out of sight.
I'll handle this.
Go!
[KNOCKING]
Coming.
- Where is she?
- Hey, hey, look.
Hey, hey, can we just calm down?
- Calm down.
- Calm down?
Are you fucking serious?
There's a lot about this
that you don't understand.
Really? What?
That she hears voices?
That she's important?
Kenny told us. She's a fucking murderer.
That's what she is.
How could you do this?
She is not going to hurt anyone!
I don't give a shit what she's gonna do!
All I care about is what she's done.
She tried to kill my fucking kid!
Yes, I know. I know. I know.
I know. I know. I know. I know.
Alright. So, now what?
We just supposed to pretend
like nothing happened?
What about your rules?
Things have changed.
- How?
- How? Someone put a tower,
a fucking tower, on Colony House
and told everyone they were going home!
Now, they're all looking
at me, wondering why
I didn't come back with all the answers!
We got a busload of people
we don't have resources for,
and a fucking house fell
for no goddamn reason!
So, yeah, if she can help us
figure out what's going on here,
she stays out of the Box! Period!
- Hey!
- Eh! I told you
to stay downstairs! Look.
I wanna talk to you.
You need to listen
very fucking carefully.
If you ever come near my family again,
I swear to God I will fucking kill you!
Say you understand.
Say you understand!
I do.
Listen. You have my word
I don't give a shit about your word!
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Jim, listen.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Don't even.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Fuck! [BANGS]
Goddamn it! [BANGS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Okay.
You lock the door. You stay inside.
Where are you going?
Colony House.
Gotta talk to Donna.
I want to make sure she
hears this from my mouth.
Boyd!
I shouldn't be here! I
I'm not strong enough for this.
That part I can't help you with,
so you better figure it out!

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
[CHILD SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
[KNOCKING]
JULIE: Ethan.
[KNOCKING]
Ethan, I promise if you let me in,
it's just me, okay?
There's nobody else out here.
Ethan, come on. Please let me in.
Julie, what's going on?
He heard us last night
talking about Sara.
Now, he won't come out.
TABITHA: [KNOCKING] Ethan?
[RATTLES DOORKNOB]
Honey, I promise no
one's going to hurt you.
JIM: Yeah. Your mom and I,
we're never gonna
let anybody hurt you.
It's like, uh, with the Cromenockle?
When she's afraid to
go inside of the cave.
I wanna see her.
I wanna see Sara.
Okay. So, hi.
- [CHUCKLES]
- They're not exactly chocolate chip,
but they're the best I could do.
Mm.
Here. Careful. It's hot.
Thank you.
Alright. Ready? [IMITATES FANFARE]
[LAUGHS] What are they?
Okay. So, they're these bread
crisps that Tian-Chen makes.
They're, like, a cross
between a cracker and a chip.
They're actually really good. Okay?
Huh.
Right? Okay. Don't
get crumbs in the bed.
Thanks.
I have a surprise for you.
- What?
- [CHUCKLES]
Um okay.
Close your eyes.
[MARIELLE CLEARS THROAT]
Open them.
- Shut up.
- [CHUCKLES]
How how how do even you have this?
Are you kidding? I haven't
gone anywhere without it
since you
[CLEARS THROAT] For a long time,
it still smelled like you.
Now, it just smells.
I still remember the last
time I saw you wearing it.
Hey.
Hmm?
Where'd you go?
Nowhere. [CHUCKLES]
Kristi, what's wrong?
Nothing.
It's stupid.
Okay.
Tell me anyway.
What if I'm not the same anymore?
I've just seen things here.
I've had to do things that
Hey.
You're still you.
I'm still me.
The rest of it,
we'll figure it out together.
Hmm?
Every ounce, every inch, remember?

[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[GASPS]
What are you doing?
Sorry. I, uh
That's my coat.
- No, this is
- What's going on?
That girl's here,
the one who killed her brother.
Please, I just
- Get the fuck out.
- I don't want any trouble.
You can't have your house
back. Look. She has my coat.
This is my brother's jacket.
Not anymore it's not.
Put it down and get the fuck out.
I just want our things.
There's something special that I
The rest of your stuff is gone.
We packed it up.
We we gave it to
Kenny's mom for storage.
There was this small ceramic
ornament about this big.
Do you remember?
He just fucking told you no!
Look. It was creepy
having your stuff here,
and it's really creepy
that you're here right now,
so please just put the
coat down and go away.
- Please.
- Get the fuck out.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
Ah.
Excuse me, bud. [GRUNTS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
You don't look good.
Tom's dead.
Bar's closed.
- What are you doing?
- Oh, what do you care?
I'm trying to figure out the symbol
that you refuse to help me with,
despite the fact that
you clearly know something
- you're not telling me.
- Well, I'll tell you what I can.
- Really?
- Yeah.
First, you have to do something for me.
Oh.
So, now you need something
from me, you're
You know what? First of all, fuck off,
and second of all, fuck off!
Okay.
Wait!
What do you want?
Mm.
I want you to play.
[DOOR CLOSES]
The fuck is wrong with you?
If you play, I'll tell you
about the man in the photo.
You tell me about the
photo first. Then I play.
Mm, no.
Just give me the fuckin' violin.
Not here.
Come.
The fuck?
- Come with me!
- Okay! Alright!
This took me all fucking night.
[VOICES CHATTING
INDISTINCTLY IN DISTANCE]
There's no way I'm letting
him anywhere near that
Tabby.
How can you even consider this, Jim?
After Thomas
Because the doctors all said
that we should let him lead sometimes,
and they also said
that we have to let him
work through things in his own way
and to be there to
support him when he asks.
Anyways, I'll be there,
right there with him.
- I'm coming with you.
- Tabby.
Look. I don't give a shit
what the doctors said.
We're living in a fucking nightmare,
and that bitch tried to kill my kid.
Please let me do this.
Mom?
Hey Hey.
I remember what you told me yesterday
about this place, how scary it is.
Mm-hmm.
When you're on a quest,
we have to face the scary things.
That's how you take their power away.
Yeah.
Stay with Daddy, okay?
And do exactly what he tells you.
- Okay.
- Okay.
What were you fucking doing, Boyd?
[SIGHS]
By the rules of this town,
the rules you created,
that girl should have gone in the Box
the second you found her.
Listen. Father Khatri
Khatri's fucking dead.
Don't you lay this on him.
You made your own call here, Boyd.
You told people you were
coming back with answers,
and instead, you came
back with a psychopath
who killed not one but four people.
And because she's special,
she doesn't have to go
in the Box? Do you hear
what that sounds like?
- She knew things!
- [SIGHS]
Out in the forest, she knew things
she couldn't possibly have known!
Okay. Great.
- So what?
- What do you mean, "So what?"
I mean, we're still fuckin' here.
Voices or no voices,
do you see a yellow brick
fuckin' road leading us home?
Because I sure don't.
I just see someone who
may have just betrayed
the one thing this place
still has going for it.
And what's that?
Faith. In you.
- You want the truth?
- I mean
I don't think this has
anything to do with going home.
I think this is about Abby.
I think you shot your wife,
and every morning since,
you wake up wishing you'd done more,
that you'd been there for her,
helped her,
fixed her.
But Abby's dead, Boyd.
And Sara's a killer.
You gonna have my back on this or not?
Okay.
What do you want, Boyd?
You want my approval?
Y-You want absolution?
'Cause you're not gonna get it here.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
What did Tian-Chen say?
How does she feel about Sara being back?
- I haven't
- Yeah. Well, maybe you should.
[INDISTINCT CHATTING IN DISTANCE]
Sara?
He has something he wants to say to you.
Everyone thought you died.
But you didn't.
You lived.
Out in the woods.
Only monsters live in the woods.
I thought we were friends.
But we're not.
You're a monster.
And I'm not afraid of you.
Okay.
- Where are we going?
- It's just a little further.
Listen. You want me to play
something for you, I'll play,
but I'm not gonna wander around
with you all day while you
It's strange.
The trees, they're changing.
The fuck does that mean?
Oh. Well, this is, uh
Did you do all this?
After everyone
Once I was alone,
I I didn't want to
look at the cars anymore,
so I put them where I couldn't see them.
There's more past the rocks,
a lot more,
but those were already here.
Come on.
I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.
I don't like when
people touch my things,
and when I heard you play
Uh, sometimes, I get angry,
and I'm sorry.
Okay.
Here.
- Here what?
- This is where you play.
Oh, thank God. Here.
What do you, uh
What do you wanna hear?
Play the one about the star.
The what?
Twinkling star.
This was your mother's car.
She used to play it when I was afraid.
And I'd sit up here, just like this,
and she'd play.
At night, when we hid,
when I heard the people screaming,
she'd tell me to think
about the twinkling stars.
And then I wouldn't
be afraid anymore.
Do you know that song?
Yeah. Uh I know it.
[PLAYS "TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR"]
[JADE CONTINUES TO PLAY]
[JADE CONTINUES TO PLAY]
[JADE CONTINUES TO PLAY]
[JADE FINISHES SONG]
Oh. Uh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to
I didn't think anyone would be here.
It's okay.
Plenty of room.
Were you on the bus?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Have you been here long?
A couple months.
Feels like much longer.
Do you live here in town?
I mean, obviously,
you you live in town.
I just
I hadn't seen you up
at the Colony House.
I would've noticed you.
I, um
I guess right now, I live here.
I figured a priest would live here
or something.
There used to be.
Oh.
I go every Sunday with my grandma.
Uh, to church, I mean.
As long as I can remember.
Is that where you were going
when you were on the bus?
To see your grandmother?
Yeah. She uh
I go see her every weekend.
I was never all that religious,
but it always made her happy,
you know, me going to church with her,
and afterwards, we'd spend
the afternoon sitting outside,
making these little crochet owls.
Really?
It was always an owl.
And she has hundreds of 'em.
Uh, she would give them to
every person that she met.
And I I would tell her,
"Grandma, maybe we could try
to switch it up a little bit.
Maybe try a dog or
a bunny or something."
But she'd tell me,
"Elgin, I like what I like,
and I like owls."
So we made owls.
You must think I'm really cool.
[CHUCKLES]
I was kind of a dork when I was a kid.
My brother and I,
we used to collect these little
ceramic Christmas ornaments
from the dollar store in town.
We'd save up all our money.
We'd go every chance we
got, like, all year round.
We wouldn't even wait for Christmas.
And then we'd get home,
and we would paint them
with all these crazy colors.
We had so many at one point,
we could've decorated a hundred trees
and still had some left over.
Nathan's always looked
a lot better than mine.
I thought they were all gone.
Turns out
Nathan kept one with
him all these years.
He said it reminded him of
a time when things were
Is he here now?
Your brother?
He was.
What happened to the ornament?
It's here somewhere. I just
I think the person who has
it won't wanna give it back.
Hey.
You need some muscle,
I'm happy to talk to 'em.
You're sweet.
How come you don't stay
up at the Colony House?
I mean, the people up there
seem friendly, for the most part.
No reason to be hanging
around an old, musty church.
It always seemed like
such a nice idea
that no matter what you did
if you were truly sorry
then God would forgive you.
Do you think that's true?
That part always seemed
a bit like wishful thinking to me.
Why? Did you do something
that needs forgiving?
I killed my brother.
But it was an accident.
Right?
- I mean, you wouldn't
- You'll find out everything
soon enough.
Uh maybe I should, uh
Uh
It was really nice to meet you, Elgin.
Yeah.
It was nice, uh
nice meeting you, too.
How did it go?
You okay?
I'm not afraid anymore.
Oh, baby, I'm so proud of you.
JULIE: Hey. Nice going.
Can you come help me peel
some potatoes for dinner?
I don't wanna peel potatoes.
Okay. Neither do I.
- Go on.
- Let's go.
Come on.
How did he do?
- He did great.
- Yeah? Oh, God.
Life lessons from the Cromenockle.
[KISSES] Who would have thought?
[GASPS]
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have come here.
[SPEAKS CANTONESE]
Wait.
You take from me.
You take him from me.
Yes.
I take care of you.
But you
you put hate inside me.
I know why you come.
You wait.
You take and go.
You never come here, this place.
You never come again.
[BANGS]
[CLATTERS]
[TIAN-CHEN SOBBING]
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
- Are you kidding me?
- Kenny, I just
- Hey!
- Kenny, I
- What? What?
- I wasn't doing anything.
You weren't doing anything
what? Give me that.
- Kenny, please. Kenny, please!
- What the fuck is in it?
Give me that. [GRUNTS] Your stuff? Huh?
This is your stuff, right?
Is this Nathan's?
What's that? Give me that.
- Stop. Stop! No! Please!
- Give me it. Give me it.
What is this?
- This important to you? Huh?
- Kenny.
- This is meaningful?
- Kenny, please.
- This mean a lot to you?
- Don't, please.
Fuck you!
Hey. Hey. Look. Listen.
Look at me!
I don't care what Boyd
says, and I don't give a shit
how fucking special you think you are.
You ever come near my mom
again, and I swear to God
I will drag your fucking
psycho ass into that Box myself.
Do you understand me?
Do you understand?
Yes.
[CRYING]
[ONLOOKERS MURMUR INDISTINCTLY]
[DOOR OPENS]
[ONLOOKERS MURMUR INDISTINCTLY]
Can I see?
Hold on.
Almost done.
There we go.
- Can I see?
- [CHUCKLES]
Keep in mind I'm a
little out of practice.
Ooh!
- I think we did okay.
- [GASPS]
- I love it.
- Yeah?
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Come here.
- I look like me again.
- [CHUCKLES]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Oh, excuse me. Uh
Hi.
Hi. I I was looking for Kristi.
Yeah. That's me. Hi.
Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
Oh, no. It's fine.
[LAUGHS] How can I help you?
Well, uh [UNZIPS PACK]
Since you're the resident Quincy
I was hoping I could give you this.
Uh, why are you carrying
around liquid morphine?
Mm. Um, when were you diagnosed?
About a month ago.
I figure that by the time I need that,
I probably won't be in any shape to
[SIGHS]
I'll take care of it, okay?
Thank you.
Look what I did.
Ruined such a nice afternoon.
[LAUGHS]
I'll let you get back to it.
Oh, well, you're better
off in here, anyway.
Oh, there's lots of hubbub flying around
now that that Sara girl's back.
I'm sorry. What?
Kristi, where are you going?
- Baby, stop!
- No! I have to
- Stop!
- I have to go!
Hey, just talk to me!
Hey! Talk to me!
What is going on?
You're not going anywhere, okay?
Not like this.
Who is Sara?
She killed somebody,
and then she tried to kill
a little boy because I
We were talking one night.
She was at the clinic,
and and she asked me what
I would do to see you again.
If it was something bad,
would it be worth it?
And I said yes.
I don't
I gave her permission,
and then the next day, she Fuck.
I just wanted to see you
again so badly that I
I wasn't even listening to the question,
and now, you're here, and I'm wondering
if that's my fault, too. And I just
No. I just feel like all
I've been doing lately is
- hurting people, and I just
- No. Hey.
This is not your fault.
I am here.
Okay?
We're together.
Come inside.
Come inside.
His name was Christopher.
Christopher.
Come with me.
What? No. Come on.
It's right over here.
[SIGHS]
This was his car.
He seemed nice at first,
'cause he made people laugh.
That that wasn't an
easy thing to do back then.
People liked him.
And then?
Then he changed.
- Changed how?
- I I don't
I don't like this.
Uh, we should go back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- But we had a deal.
- Mm.
Right? I played your
song. I held up my end.
You don't understand.
You shouldn't be asking these questions.
Why? Why? Why?
- Mm.
- Huh?
Look. I haven't had a good night's sleep
since I fucking got here, and
I'm and I'm seeing things,
things that are scaring
the shit out of me.
And it's and it's all
because of this, right here!
And whoever this Christopher
guy was, he saw it, too!
He saw it. He obsessed over it.
He drew it a thousand fucking times.
So you playing your whole weird,
creepy mystery man routine,
it's not exactly helping
me feel any better!
When did he start seeing the symbol?
- I don't know.
- What does it mean?
- I don't know!
- Well, what the fuck
do you know?
[MOANS QUIETLY]
[MOANS QUIETLY]
I'm sorry.
I'm just
I know these things are scary,
and I know that these aren't things
that you really want
to talk about, but
I am at the end of my rope.
Please.
Everyone died.
When Christopher started
seeing that symbol,
things changed.
He changed,
and he didn't make people laugh anymore.
He he stopped smiling.
One night, my mother told
me to hide somewhere new,
somewhere different, somewhere
Christopher didn't know,
and when I woke up the
next morning, everyone
[MOANS QUIETLY]
There are bad things here.
They make people do bad things.
I'm sorry.

see them? Where the fuck
See? See what?
See who?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
What?
JIM: Boyd.
[SIGHS] Look. I don't wanna
do this right now, Jim.
I'm not here to argue.
I mean, I don't agree
with what you did, but
But I looked at that girl today,
and I didn't see a psychopath.
I didn't see a vicious killer.
I saw a broken kid.
And I'm looking around, and
I'm seeing a lot of people
pushed to their edge.
Okay.
You ever wonder if
maybe that's the point?
What are you talking about?
We heard a voice on the radio.
Yeah. Me and Donna,
right as the storm was coming in,
and whoever it was, he knew my name,
knew what my wife was
doing in the house,
in the basement of our house.
And I thought maybe I was crazy.
I think people are watching us.
- I think people are listening.
- Jim
Now, there are experiments like this
going all the way back to World War II.
Look. We don't have to trust each other.
We don't even have to like each other.
But we've gotta start
working together on this.
Now, I don't know
what they want from us,
but if you can give me a more
