1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:02,044
( Music playing )
2
00:00:05,464 --> 00:00:07,216
ALAN: What brings you home?
3
00:00:07,216 --> 00:00:09,843
- MOLLY: Kidnapping.
- Oh, fuck!
4
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:12,387
HENRY: Nothing else to call
what they did to that kid.
5
00:00:12,387 --> 00:00:14,640
MOLLY: Do you think
that's why you came back?
6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,475
'Cause it reminded you?
7
00:00:16,475 --> 00:00:18,268
- YOUNG ALAN: Henry?
- ( Henry panting )
8
00:00:18,268 --> 00:00:20,729
ALAN: No frostbite.
You been inside somewhere?
9
00:00:24,316 --> 00:00:26,235
MATTHEW: I've had
a beautiful experience.
10
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:30,530
- And I heard it.
- What?
11
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:33,408
HENRY: You're saying my dad
believed he could hear God?
12
00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:35,410
Other heres. Other nows.
13
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:38,622
All possible pasts,
all possible presents...
14
00:00:38,622 --> 00:00:40,541
the schisma is
the sound of the universe
15
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:42,668
trying to reconcile them.
16
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:45,587
LACY: "Never again
let him see the light of day."
17
00:00:47,089 --> 00:00:49,132
That's what God told me.
18
00:00:49,132 --> 00:00:50,717
You know me.
19
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:53,220
I don't know anything about you.
20
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:55,597
THE KID: You do.
And I know you.
21
00:00:55,597 --> 00:00:57,683
Out there in the woods.
22
00:00:57,683 --> 00:00:59,184
That's where you died.
23
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:03,647
THE KID: Do you hear it?
24
00:01:03,647 --> 00:01:04,940
We have to go to the woods.
25
00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:06,608
Why did you ask for me?
26
00:01:06,608 --> 00:01:07,943
WARDEN PORTER: Young man...
27
00:01:07,943 --> 00:01:09,403
who are you?
28
00:01:09,403 --> 00:01:10,821
Henry Deaver.
29
00:01:14,241 --> 00:01:16,910
( Distant sirens wail )
30
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:20,998
MATTHEW: God turned His back
on this place.
31
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:24,167
- ( sirens wailing )
- ( train whistle blows )
32
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:29,590
Abandoned us...
that's what people say.
33
00:01:32,259 --> 00:01:35,721
Or they say
He's punishing us for our sins,
34
00:01:35,721 --> 00:01:37,639
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
35
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:43,854
You remember
the helicopter crash.
36
00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:50,277
- ( train whistle blows )
- How about the school bus?
37
00:02:02,706 --> 00:02:05,959
People say, "It wasn't me!"
38
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:12,758
"It was this place."
39
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:17,346
( sirens wailing )
40
00:02:17,346 --> 00:02:22,351
And the thing is...
41
00:02:22,351 --> 00:02:23,894
they're right.
42
00:02:25,771 --> 00:02:29,191
When I was a boy
my mother told me a story...
43
00:02:29,191 --> 00:02:31,526
- ( baby crying )
- about resurrection.
44
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:36,365
She was young...
45
00:02:36,365 --> 00:02:39,451
alone...
46
00:02:39,451 --> 00:02:43,288
and convinced the Devil
had a hold of me.
47
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:45,624
- ( crying )
- And maybe he did.
48
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,127
( crying continues )
49
00:02:49,127 --> 00:02:53,090
Or maybe he had a hold
of my mother.
50
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:58,845
( crying stops )
51
00:03:09,815 --> 00:03:12,734
But then...
52
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:15,362
a miracle happened.
53
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:18,323
( baby resumes crying )
54
00:03:22,411 --> 00:03:27,082
The Lord, He saved
both of us that day.
55
00:03:27,082 --> 00:03:29,292
He brought me back
from the dead,
56
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:31,753
like His only son.
57
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:34,714
I dedicated the rest of my life
to His grace,
58
00:03:34,714 --> 00:03:37,926
to fighting this great battle,
59
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:40,345
to hearing His voice.
60
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:43,181
"Let me stand athwart
the door," I told Him.
61
00:03:43,181 --> 00:03:44,808
But God,
62
00:03:44,808 --> 00:03:48,186
He doesn't take requests.
63
00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:52,524
So I waited... for years...
64
00:03:54,985 --> 00:03:56,862
for instructions.
65
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:06,246
And then one day...
66
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:13,044
one terrible day...
67
00:04:13,044 --> 00:04:14,671
God answered.
68
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:19,843
( theme music playing )
69
00:04:47,162 --> 00:04:50,707
- ( panting )
- ( siren wailing )
70
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:37,879
THE KID: Continuity.
It's hard work.
71
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,422
We don't notice we're doing it,
72
00:05:39,422 --> 00:05:41,216
but we are placing events
in sequence
73
00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:43,093
so that our lives make sense.
74
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:47,722
When continuity is interrupted,
75
00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:50,350
everything starts to slide.
76
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,769
Higher-order functions
become challenging.
77
00:05:52,769 --> 00:05:56,147
Reason and judgment erode.
78
00:05:56,147 --> 00:05:59,526
Can't manage finances,
drive a car,
79
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:01,945
planning and problem-solving
gone.
80
00:06:01,945 --> 00:06:06,616
And ultimately, confusion
with time and space.
81
00:06:06,616 --> 00:06:11,413
That is the story
of Alzheimer's disease.
82
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:14,875
Or rather, it has been...
until now.
83
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:21,464
This here is Puck.
84
00:06:21,464 --> 00:06:24,843
Now, Puck was born with
a strong genetic predisposition
85
00:06:24,843 --> 00:06:28,722
for FCD...
Feline Cognitive Dysfunction.
86
00:06:28,722 --> 00:06:31,182
Very similar to Alzheimer's
pathologically.
87
00:06:31,182 --> 00:06:35,896
Apathy, confusion,
spatial disorientation.
88
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:39,566
That was before
we put our hippocampal implant
89
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:41,192
in his brain.
90
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:47,908
But now, Puck here is a miracle.
91
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:49,951
He remembers where
his food bowl is,
92
00:06:49,951 --> 00:06:53,538
what time the sexy tabby next
door is basking on the patio.
93
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:57,250
Puck is finally in command
of his arch-narrative again.
94
00:06:57,250 --> 00:07:00,128
You see, Alzheimer's
jumbles your story.
95
00:07:00,128 --> 00:07:02,339
- ( Puck meows )
- And, um...
96
00:07:02,339 --> 00:07:04,841
well, it turns off the lights.
97
00:07:04,841 --> 00:07:07,886
We turn the lights back on.
98
00:07:07,886 --> 00:07:09,554
WOMAN: You actually said that
99
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:10,972
with a straight face?
100
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:12,307
THE KID: Yeah, I mean,
101
00:07:12,307 --> 00:07:14,684
we could be profitable
in three years.
102
00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:16,186
That is why people like me
103
00:07:16,186 --> 00:07:19,022
do not let people like you
handle the money.
104
00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:21,441
Hey, it's the 20th today,
isn't it?
105
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:23,735
- Aren't you supposed to...
- Yes, tomorrow.
106
00:07:23,735 --> 00:07:26,071
- Tomorrow? OK.
- Patience is a...
107
00:07:26,071 --> 00:07:28,865
- It's not my strong suit.
- ( phone chiming )
108
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:32,410
Hold on.
109
00:07:35,747 --> 00:07:37,666
Hey. Is... Is everything OK?
110
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:39,501
ALAN: Not exactly.
111
00:07:39,501 --> 00:07:41,419
I've got some bad news.
112
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:43,004
THE KID: Is it Mom?
113
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:44,964
Ruth is fine.
114
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:46,883
It's about your dad.
115
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:04,943
( pedestrians chattering )
116
00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:20,875
You know, uh, I'll just
walk from here, thank you.
117
00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:16,139
( Church bell ringing )
118
00:09:18,767 --> 00:09:21,644
( ringing )
119
00:09:38,453 --> 00:09:40,872
( dog barking )
120
00:10:46,187 --> 00:10:48,565
( flies buzzing )
121
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,970
MATTHEW: What do we say...
122
00:11:20,638 --> 00:11:21,806
to heartbreak?
123
00:11:24,058 --> 00:11:25,768
The Book says,
124
00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:29,647
"Death is swallowed up
in victory."
125
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:23,159
Hi.
126
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:25,745
Sorry to disturb you.
127
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,248
- Are you...
- Brigid.
128
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:30,124
Market must be crazy
if guys like you
129
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:32,085
are looking at a dump like that.
130
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:33,878
Two other speculators
were in from Portland
131
00:12:33,878 --> 00:12:35,171
just yesterday.
132
00:12:35,171 --> 00:12:36,798
You guys scan the obits, right?
133
00:12:36,798 --> 00:12:38,216
- Uh...
- 'Cause I heard that
134
00:12:38,216 --> 00:12:40,218
he actually did it
out on the lake.
135
00:12:40,218 --> 00:12:41,928
Like... ( imitates gunshot )
136
00:12:41,928 --> 00:12:44,722
Ya know. Not in the house,
if that makes a difference.
137
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:47,517
- I'm not a speculator.
- Oh.
138
00:12:47,517 --> 00:12:49,185
You probably don't remember me,
but, um...
139
00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:52,563
- MOLLY: Bridge!
- Yeah, I'm out here!
140
00:12:55,566 --> 00:12:56,651
Hey.
141
00:12:59,529 --> 00:13:00,697
Molly.
142
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:04,033
Henry Deaver?
143
00:13:12,709 --> 00:13:15,086
- BARTENDER: There you go.
- Thank you.
144
00:13:15,086 --> 00:13:17,672
- MAN: Hey, Molly.
- Hi.
145
00:13:17,672 --> 00:13:19,716
Here we go.
146
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:23,386
- Look at you.
- What?
147
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:27,181
- You're like the mayor.
- Please. Council Chair.
148
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:29,100
It's real power.
149
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:30,852
You used to be so shy
when we were kids.
150
00:13:30,852 --> 00:13:32,895
People change, ya know?
151
00:13:32,895 --> 00:13:34,856
Your sister seems
about the same.
152
00:13:34,856 --> 00:13:36,983
Yeah, I guess
the lucky ones change.
153
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:39,652
The unlucky ones
cheat on their husbands
154
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:41,612
at a middle school
math conference
155
00:13:41,612 --> 00:13:43,531
and end up couch surfing
at their sister's house
156
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:44,991
- for a year.
- Ouch.
157
00:13:47,118 --> 00:13:49,871
Hmm. How's your mom?
158
00:13:49,871 --> 00:13:53,958
- Um, Sarasota.
- Oh.
159
00:13:53,958 --> 00:13:57,503
You know who she lives with?
Alan Pangborn.
160
00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:59,297
- The old sheriff?
- Yeah.
161
00:13:59,297 --> 00:14:04,052
They had a kinda... star-crossed
thing back in the day.
162
00:14:04,052 --> 00:14:06,054
He was the one who convinced her
to leave my dad.
163
00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:07,889
A few days after
we ran off to Boston,
164
00:14:07,889 --> 00:14:09,724
Alan shows up at the door.
165
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:12,185
And he, um...
takes good care of her now.
166
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,355
Um, she has Alzheimer's.
167
00:14:16,355 --> 00:14:20,401
Oh, no. Henry, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.
168
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:22,779
She got it pretty young.
169
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:25,448
Started forgetting
her Norse demigods,
170
00:14:25,448 --> 00:14:28,367
then the rest went.
171
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:30,787
But she's the reason why
I got into the field, of course.
172
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:32,330
Of course.
173
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:34,665
One more thing I owe her.
174
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:40,421
She did the right thing
getting you out of here.
175
00:14:52,683 --> 00:14:54,602
Can I ask you something?
176
00:14:54,602 --> 00:14:56,145
Yeah.
177
00:14:56,145 --> 00:15:00,358
My dad was nuts
for who knows how long...
178
00:15:00,358 --> 00:15:03,319
so why'd he
blow his head off now?
179
00:15:03,319 --> 00:15:05,321
Did you ever talk to him?
180
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:09,408
Oh...
181
00:15:09,408 --> 00:15:11,119
after he left the church,
182
00:15:11,119 --> 00:15:13,621
I don't think
he talked to anyone.
183
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:19,836
D-Do you remember
the flashlights?
184
00:15:19,836 --> 00:15:22,547
Of course I do.
185
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:24,590
You always knew when I was up.
186
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:27,260
But even when my light was off,
187
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:29,137
you always knew.
188
00:15:29,137 --> 00:15:32,140
Y-You knew a lot of things.
189
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:35,726
Yeah, I was a... real busybody.
I always have been.
190
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:40,898
- It's really good seeing you.
- Yeah.
191
00:15:45,987 --> 00:15:47,989
- Good night.
- Good night.
192
00:15:56,497 --> 00:16:00,376
- MARREN: So you really OK?
- I'm fine.
193
00:16:00,376 --> 00:16:03,838
Yeah.
Everything's fine.
194
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:06,674
Look at the bright side.
We're new homeowners.
195
00:16:06,674 --> 00:16:08,050
Stop.
196
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:11,804
- HENRY: Aw, shit.
- What?
197
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:13,514
Lights just blew a fuse.
198
00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:16,142
I don't even know
where the box is.
199
00:16:16,142 --> 00:16:17,643
Hold on.
200
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:29,197
I found a flashlight.
201
00:16:29,197 --> 00:16:32,325
I hope you don't
have to stay there too long.
202
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:34,202
Hey, it's... it's tomorrow.
203
00:16:34,202 --> 00:16:37,705
Today is tomorrow, the 21st,
so, uh...
204
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:40,708
- No. It hasn't come yet.
- Then you're late.
205
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:45,296
- By one day.
- Yeah, but, uh, I mean,
206
00:16:45,296 --> 00:16:47,298
you're usually on time.
207
00:16:47,298 --> 00:16:49,550
Just take a pregnancy test.
208
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:52,345
Ha! Did I mention
it's been one day?
209
00:16:54,472 --> 00:16:58,100
The first month of trying,
yeah, I know,
210
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:02,188
but, um, I'm just...
211
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:03,898
I have a feeling.
212
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:07,109
Hey, I can't imagine
213
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:08,527
what it's like
being in that house
214
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:10,905
after all those years.
215
00:17:10,905 --> 00:17:12,740
( sighs ) Yeah.
216
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:16,494
Just call me in the morning, OK?
217
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I love you, Marren.
218
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:21,249
I love you.
219
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:42,937
Let's see...
220
00:17:48,818 --> 00:17:50,236
( loud clank )
221
00:17:52,863 --> 00:17:53,990
No!
222
00:18:00,830 --> 00:18:02,498
( Sirens wailing )
223
00:18:06,002 --> 00:18:08,004
MAN: When was the last time
you talked to your father?
224
00:18:09,797 --> 00:18:12,133
I don't know.
225
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,801
When I was about his age.
226
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,349
What is he saying?
227
00:18:21,475 --> 00:18:23,394
Not saying anything yet.
228
00:18:24,395 --> 00:18:26,647
I mean, besides your name.
229
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,402
Henry Deaver?
230
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:35,448
That's you, right?
231
00:18:42,371 --> 00:18:44,874
- ( Sirens wail )
- ( helicopter hovers )
232
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:59,639
ZALEWSKI: Did your dad ever touch you?
233
00:18:59,639 --> 00:19:00,890
What?
234
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:04,101
No. Look, my dad was fucked up,
235
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:05,936
but not like that.
236
00:19:05,936 --> 00:19:07,813
How was he fucked up?
237
00:19:11,317 --> 00:19:15,946
He, uh, thought he heard
the voice of God in the woods.
238
00:19:18,407 --> 00:19:21,035
He used to drag me out there
in the dead of night,
239
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:22,536
middle of winter.
240
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:26,415
March me around...
241
00:19:26,415 --> 00:19:28,209
hoping I'd hear it too.
242
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:30,961
Did you?
243
00:19:41,472 --> 00:19:43,891
( Ethereal sounds )
244
00:19:46,769 --> 00:19:49,897
COP: Hey, stop!
Come back here!
245
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:51,357
Hey! Hey!
246
00:19:58,906 --> 00:20:01,450
It's OK. It's OK there.
247
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:08,207
Where was he trying to go?
248
00:20:14,755 --> 00:20:16,340
( Sighs )
249
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:41,907
MATTHEW ON TAPE: Forest fires
took near 1,000 acres.
250
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,368
The drunk helicopter pilot
who killed...
251
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:46,662
( rewinding tape )
252
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:48,372
and in the town plaza.
253
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:52,293
The school bus
and all those sweet children
254
00:20:52,293 --> 00:20:53,836
died on the track.
255
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:10,746
MATTHEW: This has been a curse
since the beginning,
256
00:22:10,746 --> 00:22:12,581
since those original
French settlers
257
00:22:12,581 --> 00:22:15,835
froze and starved 200 years ago.
258
00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:17,795
The only survivor, a young girl,
259
00:22:17,795 --> 00:22:19,338
reduced to cutting up and eating
260
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,215
the corpses of her own family.
261
00:22:21,215 --> 00:22:22,675
Is that when it began?
262
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:28,514
God turned His back
on this place.
263
00:22:28,514 --> 00:22:30,140
Abandoned us.
264
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:31,851
That's what people say.
265
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:33,686
Or they say He's punishing us...
266
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,275
What if it's not just
one voice, but a choir?
267
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,276
( rewinding )
268
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:45,990
( voices overlapping )
269
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:49,535
( cacophony of voices
continues )
270
00:22:50,953 --> 00:22:53,831
Toward the end
of the worst of it...
271
00:22:53,831 --> 00:22:56,000
the bad patch
272
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,501
that we had that spring.
273
00:22:57,501 --> 00:22:59,003
Oh, sweet Lord in heaven...
274
00:23:02,006 --> 00:23:03,591
Spent hours out there
every night
275
00:23:03,591 --> 00:23:05,551
in those damn woods praying...
276
00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:09,179
tryin' to hear it.
277
00:23:09,179 --> 00:23:11,390
Thought if I could hear Him
again just once
278
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,642
He'd tell me how to end this...
279
00:23:13,642 --> 00:23:15,561
end the bad patch.
280
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:19,857
But... He didn't.
281
00:23:19,857 --> 00:23:21,483
Or I couldn't hear Him,
282
00:23:21,483 --> 00:23:24,028
I just wasn't listening
hard enough.
283
00:23:26,113 --> 00:23:28,991
But then I did hear something.
284
00:23:30,534 --> 00:23:32,661
I heard something
at the back door,
285
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:34,955
this scritch-scratching,
somethin' trying to get in.
286
00:23:34,955 --> 00:23:36,790
This being a bad patch,
287
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:38,751
I pull my Louisville Slugger
out of the closet,
288
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:41,045
throw open that back door,
289
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:43,047
and there he was.
290
00:23:43,047 --> 00:23:45,299
He looks at me.
291
00:23:45,299 --> 00:23:47,843
He looks at the bat,
just as scared as can be.
292
00:23:47,843 --> 00:23:50,429
Looks caught.
Can you blame him?
293
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:51,972
He's between a man with a bat
294
00:23:51,972 --> 00:23:54,516
and those woods
he just came from.
295
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:58,103
Well, I'll tell ya, he wasn't
the only one scared.
296
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:00,189
I promise you,
I reached for the phone,
297
00:24:00,189 --> 00:24:04,151
I was gonna call the police,
Child Service, the cavalry,
298
00:24:04,151 --> 00:24:07,237
and then he starts saying,
"I heard it, Dad.
299
00:24:07,237 --> 00:24:10,240
It was so loud, Dad.
It was all around us,
300
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,159
in my head, and it was too much.
301
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:14,620
And then you were gone,
and then I was gone,
302
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:16,497
and I woke up in the forest,
303
00:24:16,497 --> 00:24:18,832
but suddenly
there was no more snow,
304
00:24:18,832 --> 00:24:22,670
and then I walked into town
and it looked... different.
305
00:24:22,670 --> 00:24:24,964
Castle Rock, but different.
306
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:27,007
And not one person
in town knew me."
307
00:24:27,007 --> 00:24:29,385
That's what he said,
not making a lick of sense,
308
00:24:29,385 --> 00:24:31,720
and then he tells me a story.
309
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,140
He says he's my son. Henry.
310
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:37,101
Adopted.
311
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:39,687
He tells me a story
that the two of us
312
00:24:39,687 --> 00:24:41,605
went to pray in Castle Woods,
313
00:24:41,605 --> 00:24:45,275
that we were out there,
he says, to listen...
314
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:47,653
for Him.
315
00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:49,029
And he heard it.
316
00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:50,990
He said he'd really heard it.
317
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:52,825
No foolin' this time.
318
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:55,244
None of his mother's trickery
and deceit.
319
00:24:55,244 --> 00:24:57,955
And there, right here,
he caught me,
320
00:24:57,955 --> 00:24:59,915
because who would know that?
321
00:24:59,915 --> 00:25:03,419
Who could possibly know that
that woman tried to trick me?
322
00:25:06,672 --> 00:25:09,466
Did I test him more?
Of course I did.
323
00:25:09,466 --> 00:25:11,468
I asked him how
324
00:25:11,468 --> 00:25:15,139
I like my eggs cooked
over the propane stove.
325
00:25:15,139 --> 00:25:17,641
The name we gave
to the bend and the view...
326
00:25:17,641 --> 00:25:18,934
he knew it.
327
00:25:20,936 --> 00:25:22,646
He knew it... all.
328
00:25:23,939 --> 00:25:25,357
And it...
329
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:27,568
it felt like redemption.
330
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:29,236
Like he'd been returned to me.
331
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:31,822
Changed, but the same.
332
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,033
Restored.
333
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:36,410
My sweet Henry
back to me at last.
334
00:25:40,414 --> 00:25:42,499
And it was then...
335
00:25:42,499 --> 00:25:45,419
I realized what I'd done.
336
00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:50,674
I'd wished... not prayed, wished.
337
00:25:50,674 --> 00:25:54,386
Desired for this.
Yes, this.
338
00:25:56,305 --> 00:25:57,890
And here it was
339
00:25:57,890 --> 00:26:00,768
like I'd ordered it
off the damn TV.
340
00:26:00,768 --> 00:26:04,897
Well, we know just who that is,
don't we?
341
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:07,441
Who gives you what you wish
342
00:26:07,441 --> 00:26:09,526
when you need it most,
343
00:26:09,526 --> 00:26:12,362
with just a string
or three attached.
344
00:26:13,989 --> 00:26:16,617
I'd been bought... bought cheap.
345
00:26:16,617 --> 00:26:19,161
This was no son of mine.
346
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:22,331
( rattling, clanking )
347
00:26:23,332 --> 00:26:25,584
( panting )
348
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:29,630
In the blindness of desire
and my naked want
349
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:32,966
I'd invited in the Deceiver.
350
00:26:32,966 --> 00:26:34,384
( tape off )
351
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:41,642
I was just down the hill
from him this whole time.
352
00:26:41,642 --> 00:26:44,394
I knew what he was like.
353
00:26:44,394 --> 00:26:47,606
That's why I just...
tuned him out.
354
00:26:49,525 --> 00:26:53,654
The stuff he said
the kid told him about my mom.
355
00:26:55,906 --> 00:27:00,410
How she would tell me to lie
about hearing God in the woods
356
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:03,288
to get him off my back.
357
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:05,749
That happened.
358
00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:10,671
What are you saying?
359
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:14,800
I don't know.
360
00:27:17,136 --> 00:27:20,264
Ohh. But Henry...
361
00:27:20,264 --> 00:27:22,140
listen to me.
362
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:25,561
Those things
that he talked about...
363
00:27:25,561 --> 00:27:30,440
the helicopter going down,
the school bus crash...
364
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,026
they happened decades ago.
365
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:39,616
They go up to the 1400s.
366
00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:44,955
So he recorded this one...
367
00:27:46,415 --> 00:27:49,710
No, but that kid can't be more than 12.
368
00:27:53,255 --> 00:27:56,091
MATTHEW: There he stayed for years,
369
00:27:56,091 --> 00:27:58,260
so many years,
370
00:27:58,260 --> 00:28:01,847
and I grew old and even lonelier.
371
00:28:01,847 --> 00:28:04,808
There were moments
when I was weak.
372
00:28:04,808 --> 00:28:06,935
We shared Christmases
in that basement,
373
00:28:06,935 --> 00:28:08,896
Red Sox victories,
374
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:11,481
I taught him to carve
perfect figurines from soap
375
00:28:11,481 --> 00:28:14,234
as I once did with my own boy.
376
00:28:14,234 --> 00:28:17,613
And yes, of course,
I almost let him out.
377
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:23,160
Many times. Almost surrendered
to his story, his charms.
378
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,787
I suppose if someone
is listening to this,
379
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:29,124
maybe even Henry...
my Henry...
380
00:28:29,124 --> 00:28:33,295
then you know
I finally did surrender.
381
00:28:33,295 --> 00:28:35,505
But you listen to me, son.
382
00:28:35,505 --> 00:28:38,967
As long as that devil walks
the streets of Castle Rock,
383
00:28:38,967 --> 00:28:41,136
tragedy after tragedy
will pile up
384
00:28:41,136 --> 00:28:43,096
and men will turn on their own.
385
00:28:43,096 --> 00:28:47,726
Blood will run in the streets
until he is back in a cage.
386
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:51,688
( turns off tape )
387
00:28:57,235 --> 00:28:59,613
I can find out
where they took him.
388
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:28,892
( Sirens wail )
389
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:33,939
THE KID/HENRY: What's goin' on?
390
00:29:36,191 --> 00:29:39,653
- ( Sirens wailing )
- ( truck horn honking )
391
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:50,080
( sirens continue )
392
00:29:56,336 --> 00:29:58,296
( police radio chatter )
393
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,095
MOLLY: I know these guys.
394
00:30:11,518 --> 00:30:14,771
( Chatter )
395
00:30:16,523 --> 00:30:18,817
COP: We think he did it.
396
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:28,493
MOLLY: Seven people dead.
397
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:31,079
- Ten still missing.
- Oh, my God.
398
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,082
Has anyone seen the kid?
399
00:30:34,082 --> 00:30:37,085
They took him away.
400
00:30:37,085 --> 00:30:38,962
They think he did this.
401
00:30:49,431 --> 00:30:51,725
- ( Police radio chatter )
- MOLLY: Thanks.
402
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:04,237
COP: Boy in the bed next to his
403
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:05,447
says he found the lighter,
404
00:31:05,447 --> 00:31:07,491
saw him set his mattress on fire.
405
00:31:07,491 --> 00:31:09,993
MOLLY: How old is this kid?
Your witness.
406
00:31:09,993 --> 00:31:13,914
- Your boy's not denying it.
- Just let us talk to him, Jim.
407
00:31:13,914 --> 00:31:15,499
Henry's a doctor.
408
00:31:15,499 --> 00:31:18,960
This boy is obviously
traumatized.
409
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,256
Henry just wants to help
however he can.
410
00:31:24,299 --> 00:31:26,051
I'm Molly.
411
00:31:27,135 --> 00:31:29,012
And this is Henry.
412
00:31:30,514 --> 00:31:33,266
Do you know... your name?
413
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:38,688
Henry... Matthew...
414
00:31:38,688 --> 00:31:40,315
Deaver.
415
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:47,864
Can you tell us how old you are?
416
00:31:52,869 --> 00:31:55,205
( Electrical crackling )
417
00:32:03,421 --> 00:32:06,633
Here. These might help.
418
00:32:07,634 --> 00:32:09,803
OK. It's OK. Oh, sorry.
419
00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:24,943
MOLLY: Can we ask you
one more question?
420
00:32:28,488 --> 00:32:31,116
Did you start the fire in the hospital?
421
00:32:36,621 --> 00:32:38,123
Why?
422
00:32:39,541 --> 00:32:42,252
I...
423
00:32:42,252 --> 00:32:44,004
couldn't stop him.
424
00:32:46,423 --> 00:32:50,635
The boy... in the bed...
425
00:32:50,635 --> 00:32:52,637
next to mine. He was...
426
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,267
He was too close.
427
00:32:57,267 --> 00:33:00,520
MOLLY: Too close to what?
428
00:33:09,362 --> 00:33:11,489
( Inhales sharply )
429
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:13,867
Oh, no...
430
00:33:13,867 --> 00:33:18,038
( dissonant noise )
431
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:24,377
We have to go. To the woods.
432
00:33:24,377 --> 00:33:25,921
There's not much time left.
433
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:31,134
MATTHEW: Do you hear it...
twinkling of an eye...
434
00:33:31,134 --> 00:33:33,345
trumpet will sound
and the dead will...
435
00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:37,224
- Do you hear it now?
- Twinkling of an eye...
436
00:33:37,224 --> 00:33:39,434
MOLLY: Together, together...
437
00:33:39,434 --> 00:33:42,520
( sibilant whispering )
438
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:47,901
( whooshing, dissonant sounds )
439
00:33:48,985 --> 00:33:50,570
COP: Your time's up.
440
00:33:50,570 --> 00:33:52,364
Gotta take him upstairs.
441
00:33:57,077 --> 00:34:00,997
- ( Telephone ringing )
- ( chatter )
442
00:34:05,585 --> 00:34:08,838
( indistinct chatter )
443
00:34:10,966 --> 00:34:14,344
MOLLY: He's been in a cage
for God knows how long.
444
00:34:14,344 --> 00:34:16,554
You can't just
toss him into another one!
445
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:19,474
As the chairperson
of the city council,
446
00:34:19,474 --> 00:34:22,102
I will take full responsibility.
447
00:34:29,192 --> 00:34:30,694
What's goin' on?
448
00:34:30,694 --> 00:34:32,904
He's coming with us.
449
00:34:36,324 --> 00:34:39,786
COP: CPS will be over tomorrow
morning to pick him up.
450
00:34:39,786 --> 00:34:42,038
The boy doesn't leave
your residence.
451
00:34:42,038 --> 00:34:45,417
Dennis will sweep your house
for weapons and incendiaries.
452
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:46,918
- You understand?
- MOLLY: Yes.
453
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,087
And he'll be right outside,
all night long.
454
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,923
Kid's already tried to run once.
455

What are you talking about?
464
00:36:15,590 --> 00:36:17,801
( Train whistle blowing )
465
00:36:17,801 --> 00:36:20,011
We have to take him...
466
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:21,930
where he wants to go.
467
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:23,264
Towards the sound.
468
00:36:23,264 --> 00:36:25,517
THE KID/HENRY: To the woods?
469
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:27,060
For what?
470

( Whistle blows )
471
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:32,190
