If these voices are real,
if something here is communicating with you,
then that means you're connected to this place
in a way that no one else here is.
But we need proof.
What is this?
[Sara] They said they watched you bury the bag
and that this is proof that they're real.
Do you know what that means?
[Trudy] Can I have my pillow back?
I just want to take a nap
and it's sort of like a security blanket for me, you know?
Yeah, I totally get it. I'm sorry again.
You know, it's kinda funny. I have a shirt just like that.
Oh, I know. I got this out of your suitcase.
What's wrong?
I think maybe I-I made a mistake.
I knew all about the divorce and how this whole trip
was just one last hurrah
before you sat us down to break the news.
Thomas is dead! You have two other kids!
Why aren't we enough for you?
What is that?
A Farway Tree.
Watch.
How does it do that?
I don't know. But guess what.
-What? -It works for people too.
Really?
Problem is, you never know where you'll end up.
There's no wire in here.
What?
In the cord. And the plug?
Look. None of it makes any sense.
[Hammering]
[Ethan] Mom!
Everything about this is impossible,
but we can find out where those wires go.

What are you looking for? Hmm?
[Breathing unsteadily]
I have this crazy idea that might actually work, and--
and if it does,
I might be able to find a way to get these people home.
They're so beautiful.
I'm so glad you like them.
When can I come inside?
[Indistinct conversations overlapping]
[Woman] It's actually kind of rude.
[Woman 2] I know.
What? Not acceptable. No way.
[Chattering]
Oh, let's not make a big deal.
[Chattering]
[Woman] It's a party, you guys, like...
[Chattering, laughing]
-Okay, pick one. -Um, this one.
I don't know, it just seems kinda weird
to be celebrating the day that you got stuck here.
You're looking at this the wrong way.
It's about celebrating survival.
It reminds everybody that it's possible.
Besides, it's nice having a little party once in a while.
Okay, what are you looking for?
I am not looking. I am digging.
Aha! Here it is.
It's my secret stash.
Trudy loves this sweater.
It's the one thing I own that I don't let her get her hands on.
Besides, it is Ellis' favorite.
What?
Nothing. Uh...
You just-- you make this place seem almost normal.
You're really special.
Don't be silly. We're all really special.
Even Trudy.
That's something a really special person would say.
There's my girls.
Uh, anybody up for a little pregame?
Baby, the party hasn't even started yet.
I know! I know! That's why they call it pregame.
What?
Nothing.
Just... go easy, okay?
Yeah, I know. I know. I know.
Uh, Julie?
How 'bout you?
Uh... I'm good, thanks.
Okay.
Okay, whatever. You guys suck.
Victor? Victor, where you at, man?
Let's get this party started!
Is he okay?
Nights like this are just a little tough for him.
As much as you celebrate the people who make it,
you also remember the ones who didn't.
Here, you should wear this. It'll look really cute.
Okay, come on, man.
I mean, you of all people should be hammered today.
I mean, how many years have you been here for?
Please leave me alone.
-Oh... -[Donna] Ellis!
Ellis!
You want a shot?
Okay.
Donna, there's no more peaches.
I know. We're, uh...
We're all out.
They're gone?
I thought I had a few more cans stashed away in the basement,
but, uh...
I've been putting some other things aside for you.
Some fruit cocktail. Some cranberries--
The peaches are gone.
All these years, that's--
that's the one thing that's never changed,
and now they're gone.
I'm sorry, Victor.
[Victor] Yeah.

All right.
We are here tonight
to celebrate a very special anniversary.
[Woman] Yeah.
One year ago today...
...our dear sweet Fatima came into our lives.
[Light cheering]
Some of you were here then,
many of you arrived since.
But all of you have come to know her
and to love her,
for her kindness, for her strength,
for her wisdom--
And for her weed!
[All laughing]
The green thumb is definitely a big plus.
[Laugh]
Our greenhouse never smelled so good.
[Laugh]
But, uh, seriously,
the truth is...
you've made this big old drafty box
feel a little bit more like home.
Happy anniversary, sweet pea.
Donna...
Thank you.
This is so beautiful.
May it catch all the bad dreams...
...and let only the sweet ones reach you.
-Come here. -Thank you.
Oh. We are so lucky to have you.
So lucky to have...
-All right with the mushy. -[Laughs]
All right, everybody, you all know the protocol.
Drink, smoke, have fun,
keep an eye on each other.
-Cheers! -[All] Cheers.
Cheers, baby.
-[Chattering] -[Music playing]
Happy anniversary, gorgeous.
Thank you.
Look at what she got me.
She made this herself.
[Stacey] Aw!
So, that's the plan. Yup.
Find a way outta here once and for all
before it all comes crashing down around us.
Your turn.
I buried this bag the day I arrived.
Open it.
Holding out on me?
This yours?
I'm not talking about the shirt. I'm talking about the blood.
There's another item in the bag.
I mean, what-- what is it? What the fuck is going on?
We've never really discussed who we used to be...
before we came here.
[Exhales]
There was this young boy in my congregation.
He was quiet, sensitive.
He used to get so excited
when his mother let him put a dollar in the collection plate.
One day, after mass,
I found him lingering outside the rectory
and it was unusual.
You know, he wasn't really the type of kid
to stray too far from his parents.
They were very, um...
strict...
...rigid.
And I get it. Parents, they worry about their kids,
and sometimes you have...
[Exhales]
I'm sorry. Do you mind?
[Exhales]
[Gasps]
Anyway, the point is...
the boy was upset.
He asked if he could stay a while.
But I had to prepare for evening mass
and I didn't want the parents to worry.
So I, uh...
I went to my drawer and I pulled out a candy bar.
I, uh-- I always keep a stash for the neighborhood kids.
I could see he didn't want to go.
But I handed it to him and I sent him on his way.
Later that evening, I, uh-- I went by the house.
It was a bit unorthodox.
You know, I'm not really in the habit of making house calls,
but something was nagging me and I just...
As I walked up the driveway,
the mother, she came running out,
hysterical...
inconsolable.
She was...
And I could smell the alcohol
the moment I stepped through the door.
The father was just...
standing there with this panicked,
dumbfounded look on his face.
"Get up! Get up!" he said.
I walked over and I stepped in the room, and there he was.
This sweet, innocent boy,
just laying there, broken.
His neck was bulging in a way-- it was...
And I could see, in his pocket...
the candy bar.
[Exhales unsteadily]
"He'll be fine."
That's what the father said. "He'll be fine."
It was the way he said it.
Sounded indignant.
The next thing I knew, I was on top of him,
smashing his face as hard as I could.
I couldn't stop.
I just kept hitting him over and over again.
I couldn't stop.
Even when I felt the bones in my hand start to break,
I couldn't stop.
I was the one who was supposed to listen.
I was the one who was supposed to defend the defenseless.
That sweet little boy came to me begging for help,
and all I could do was give him a candy bar.
A fucking candy bar!
The next thing I remember,
I was standing on a bridge, holding that bottle in my hand.
And it was the first time in my life
that I heard the voice of God.
He told me to get back in the car,
that there was another path for me to follow.
So I did.
I got back in the car and I drove,
and two hours later, I was here.
Why are you telling me all this now?
Because I have Sara tied up in the basement of the church.
Look, I've always known that there's a reason we're here,
that there's a path we're meant to follow,
and I know it may seem--
[Gun cocking]
Tell me you're joking.
Boyd--
Tell me you are motherfucking joking!
Are you gonna shoot me?
I might fucking shoot you, yeah!
You told me that Frank broke the rules.
Frank had to go in the box!
And now you just-- that girl--
That girl may be the key to unlocking all this.
That girl...
may be the way we all go home.
Keep talking.
Okay.
[Indistinct chatter]
Jasmine.
[Tapping]
Jasmine!
What's wrong?
I only came to say goodbye.
What? Wait, wait, wait.
I don't understand. Just please talk to me.
Why won't you let me in?
You know why. I can't.
Please, just stay and talk with me.
You said you liked me.
I do!
I can't keep coming here,
knowing I'll see you but never get to feel you,
knowing you're afraid of me,
that you're disgusted by me.
No. It--
You always tell me how lonely you are in there.
You have no idea how lonely it is out here.
It wasn't my choice to be this way.
Goodbye, Kevin.
Wait, wait.
You know, there's a party going on downstairs.
Everyone's having a really good time.
But you are the only one that I want to be with.
You are the only one that I can really talk to.
You promise it'll just be you? No one else can get in?
Not once we shut the window, I promise.
Okay.
And now, the question is...
...how many dimensions are there?
Bosonic string theorists believe there are 26 dimensions,
but superstring theorists say there's only 10.
[Stacey] And is that what this place is? Another dimension?
[Dale] Oh, no, no.
This is a pocket universe.
Oh, my God.
For Christ's sake, man, enough.
It's not a pocket universe;
it's not whatever the fuck you think it is,
and nobody gives a fuck.
So why don't you shut the fuck up, man?
Yeah, okay, have another drink.
All right, calm down.
-[Glass smashes] -Jesus!
Hey!
What are you gonna do about it? Huh?
-Hey! -What are you gonna do?
All right, okay.
Take him upstairs before he starts shooting up the place.
-No, no, no, no! -Hey, hey, hey! That's enough.
That's enough! Now, ease up!
You okay?
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, I'm sorry. I, um--
I'm just gonna go upstairs and lay down.
Okay. I'll come with you.
Nah, it's fine. It's fine. Hey, I'm just, uh...

It's your night.
Just stay.

I never told a soul.
Boyd, there was no possible way she could have known.
Something was watching me that day,
the same thing that told Sara--
And you think this thing is trying to help us?
By killing an old man and a child?
Whatever it is, it's a part of the fabric of this place.
Okay? Whatever connection Sara has
makes her valuable in ways we may not even understand yet.
Okay, now if you want to put her in the box, that's fine.
I'm not gonna stop you.
But if you're serious about finding answers -
the fact that you're going on this journey at the same time
that this connection is revealed,
that's not just a coincidence.
That's providence.
So, what are you suggesting?
That we go with you, Sara and I. Okay?
We use this connection to our advantage.
