02x02 - The Kindness of Strangers

[bunniefuu]

Previously on From...

We have to turn around. We
can't be here! Stop the bus!

Everyone please return to your seats!

Bad things are gonna happen if...

Stop the g*dd*mn bus!

- Donna!
- What?

There is a bus parked outside the diner!

There's a woman trapped in the basement

of that house over there.
We could use some help.

Places don't just come apart like this!

Jim! Come!

Wait, we're almost there.

Elgin?

I need some help over here!

Dad!

Julie!

In order to get us all three out safely,

you have to do it slowly

and you gotta do it right.

Dad, the sun is about to go down.

That's why you're gonna leave us here.

Everyone on, right now.

- We're leaving.
- Hold on!

- Start the...
- No! No, no!

Donna!

Fatima, get back here!

We can't just leave them!

- Fatima!
- Fatima!

Inside the diner, now!

- I love you too, Dad.
- We have to get inside!

Let's go. Inside. Inside!

They're here. We have to go.

- Where are we?
- We're underneath the town.

This is where the monsters live.

This is where they sleep.

There's a tunnel!
Please, go all the way up.

Go, go, go, go.

Victor!

Part of me really wants to go to Iceland

with the most amazing guy I met

in the most f*cked-up place imaginable.

What does the other part want?

To go back and find out if

the woman I fell in
love with waited for me.

Anybody up there?

I can help you if you help me.

You made it.

What the...

We don't have much time.

I need you to k*ll me.

The f*ck?

Where are we?

We had a deal.

You said you would k*ll me.

Jesus.

Who did this to you?

Are you from the town?

What, the town...?

- Yeah.
- Oh. The to...

I-I always thought the
town was the worst part,

and then I went through the tree.

Did you go through the tree?

Yeah.

The tree, yeah.

You go in one place, come out another.

Sometimes you get stuck.

Sometimes you get trapped.

Now, that's when they get you.

Who?

You... You have a kind face.

What's your name?

I'm Boyd.

I'm Martin.

How long you been here, Martin?

Oh, it's... it's been a long... Ah!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I used to try to count the days,

but I couldn't bear to count the years.

It's been so long since
I've seen kindness.

That's why you have to go,

before they come back.

I'm not leaving without you.

Boyd.

Wait, you... You're a Marine?

Semper fi.

Leave no man behind.
You help me, I help you.

That's the way it goes, got it?

Boyd, if you want to help me,

then just k*ll me.

Please.

Everybody calm down!

Calm the f*ck down!

Please, you haven't done
anything yet you can't undo.

This is just a big misunderstanding.

People are upset, but
if you'll let us go...

You wanna go?

You have no idea what's
waiting out there.

Where's Kristi?

She's in the back with
the girl from the bus.

- The nurse.
- Sit down.

You too, sit!

Okay.

I know this is scary...

but we are not the enemy.

The enemy's out there.

Well, that's an odd thing to say...

Please, just let me explain.

Okay.

Okay, let's start

with the tree you saw in the road.

How did you know about the tree?

Everyone sees the tree.

♪ When I was just a little boy ♪

♪ I asked my father ♪

♪ "What will I be?" ♪

♪ "Will I be handsome?" ♪

♪ "Will I be rich?" ♪

♪ Here's what he said to me ♪

♪ Que sera sera ♪

♪ Whatever will be will be ♪

♪ The future's not ours to see ♪

♪ Que sera sera ♪

♪ What will be will be ♪

♪ Now I have children of my own ♪

♪ They ask their father ♪

♪ "What will I be?" ♪

♪ "Will I be pretty?" ♪

♪ "Will I be rich?" ♪

♪ I tell them tenderly ♪

♪ Que sera sera ♪

♪ Whatever will be will be ♪

♪ The future's not ours to see ♪

♪ Que sera sera ♪

♪ What will be will be ♪

♪ Que sera sera ♪

How much further to town?

It's too far. Over there!

We can hide in there till morning.

Yeah.

Okay.

Go in.

We have to be quiet.

There's no talisman in here.

Whose stuff is this?

This is mine.

Why is it here?

I come here sometimes.

I have some food for us.

Mari.

How could you?

We were supposed to have lunch.

I was on my way to meet you.
We were supposed to have lunch.

I know.

Have you been here this whole time?

It's been six months. You
never called, you never...

You know, your parents and I...

We went to the police.

- Mari, you don't understand...
- Bullshit.

This whole time you've been
less than two hours away,

with these people,

with shotguns,

that f*cking woman.

It's like you've joined
some f*cking cult.

I gotta get out of here.

You can't leave the diner.

Get out of my way.

You need to listen to me, okay?

You don't get to tell me
what I can and cannot do.

Look.

I know you're hurt.

Mm-hm.

And that this is beyond f*cked up.

But I-I just need you
to listen to me, okay?

This place.

It isn't what you think.

How you doing over there, Jim?

I think I busted a rib.

It's getting hard to breathe.

Just take it slow.

We'll be okay.

Have you ever done this before?

Spent the night hiding?

Would it make you feel
better if I said yes?

What the f*ck. f*ck!

I can't move!

- Help!
- It's Rick, right?

Brick! My name's Brick.

Okay, you gotta calm down, buddy.

Hey, you need to get me
out of here, okay? Please.

- Brick. Brick.
- My chest hurts.

- Brick?
- Yeah?

You gotta stay quiet, man.

I'm coming over to you, buddy, okay?

I ca... I can't
breathe! I can't breathe!

Yes, you can.

You're talkin', right?
That means you can breathe.

Just nice and slow.

Okay? Tom?

Almost there.

Stop!

Come on, man, you gotta stop moving.

Hey, look at me.

You see me?

Yeah. Yeah, I can see you.

Just, um, look I'm, uh,

not really good in
tight spaces, all right?

It's all right.

Just, you gotta be quiet.

I'm right here. We're
both right here, okay?

We're gonna get outta this.

We just gotta stay calm
and not make things worse.

Most of all, we gotta be quiet.

As quiet as we can.

Why?

Come on, man.

There's gotta be something.

Even if you get me free, then what?

I don't think I can make it to town.

Then I'll carry you. Huh?

Once we get back to town,
look, we got... we got people.

A doctor. She can help you.

Hey, look.

You see this?

I found these in the forest.

They protect us. Keep us safe.

They won't be able to hurt you there.

You think... you think
those things that come out

of the forest at night did this?

They're just the tip of the spear.

Hey, how 'bout we
change the subject, huh?

Hey, Martin, where you from?

A small town. Millbrook.

Where?

- Millbrook, huh?
- You're wa... wasting time.

Oh, God.

- They're coming.
- What the...

You don't have time, Boyd.

There's darkness in the forest.

Nightmares you can't
even begin to imagine.

Things we were never meant
to see. Things that...

You have to get out
before the music stops.

Don't.

The more attention
you draw to the house,

the more likely those things
are to go looking around.

I can't just sit here doing nothing.

That is exactly what you're gonna do.

You... Come on, sit down.

Julie, your dad's best
chance right now is to stay

exactly where he is until the morning.

People used to do it all the time here.

They hid.

That's how Sheriff Boyd and his family

survived the first night.

I know.

Hey, look, all we can
do right now is wait.

Do you want some tea?

What, uh... What's your favorite book?

What?

You do read, right?

What's your favorite book?

You're just trying to distract me.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe.

But you still gotta answer the question.

Just when I thought life
was all out of surprises.

Hello?

Anybody here?

This is a weird gas station.

Yeah.

This whole f*ckin' place is weird.

It's like we drove into
a g*dd*mn acid trip.

There are worse places
to be stuck, I suppose.

Can anybody hear me?

God dammit, where did they all go?

We need to go back inside.

- What? No.
- Come on.

No. We have to find
them. We can't just leave

- those people out here.
- Look, we tried. We tried.

There's nothing more we
can do. Okay? Come on.

Hey! If you were on the bus,

if you can hear me, you have to run.

You have to run and
be as quiet as you can.

There are things out here,
things that if they find you,

they'll... if somebody calls for you...

- Okay, inside!
- Do not answer!

- Inside, now! Inside, now!
- If somebody calls for you,

do not answer!

You're spoiling all the fun.

f*ck!

No, Fatima! No, stop!

Hey!

Fatima!

Oh, no.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You need to run! You need to hide!

Fatima, hey, hey, baby.

Baby, come away from the window, okay?

- Hey!
- You should run!

You need run! You need to hide!

You have to get inside!

Hey! They're not listening!

- Hey!
- Hey, hey.

- What?
- I know.

- We have to do something!
- Baby, there is nothing that we can do!

I'm going to the back door.

- No.
- Ellis!

Ellis, we can literally sneak out.

We have to bring them inside!
We can bring them inside!

I know, I know! Baby, listen to me...

Baby, you need to stop!
Baby, look, listen!

Hey.

Hey. It's okay.

I'm here, you know?

Hey.

Baby.

Baby.

f*ck you.

f*ck you!

Stop f*cking smiling!

Stop smiling!

You'll feel better if you come outside.

Fatima.

I can't. I can't f*cking
do this anymore.

I can't...

I know.

I can't... I can't f*cking
do this anymore.

I know. I know.

I can't.

Is that... is that them?

Is that the...

Yeah.

Jesus. Jesus!

Jesus f*ck, please, please!

Please, God, I just wanna go home.

I just wanna go home, please!

- God!
- Hey, man, you gotta shut up.

I just wanna go home! Please!

Hey, look at me.

We're good.

What's wrong? What the... what's wrong?

f*cking bleeding!

What the f*ck?

You gotta be quiet.

I can't! I'm f*cking bleeding
from my f*ckin' mouth!

You're gonna be okay.

We just gotta hang on.

God, I just wanna
f*cking get outta here!

My God, this is really happening.

f*ck this. Let us out.

- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,
- Let us out.

- Relax.
- Let us the f*ck out.

Hey! Hey, are you
insane? Are you insane?

- Did you hear that?
- There's more people out there.

You've got those people
trapped under the house!

You can't just f*ckin'
leave them! You have g*ns!

It won't matter.

Won't make a f*ckin' difference.

Are you people f*cking crazy?
I'm not gonna sit here...

- Kenny!
- Hey, whoa, wait!

Move!

The f*ck over there now!

- Back the f*ck up!
- Hey, hey.

Now!

Hurry the f*ck up!

All right, we're gonna
try this the f*ck again.

You stupid m*therf*cker.

You have no idea what you're doing.

Yeah, we'll see.

Now, me and my friend here are
gonna go take a walk outside.

- Hey.
- No, shut the f*ck up.

Open the f*cking door.

We do that,

you put everyone in this room at risk.

You want that?

How'd the tree get in the road? Huh?

How many of you did it take to lug

that f*ckin' thing out there, huh?

Are you f*cking kidding me?

You actually think that we...

I honestly think you're full of sh*t.

And how 'bout the rest of you?

Huh?

Just gonna sit there?

This bitch blew out our ride
home with a f*cking shotgun!

You all seem
disturbingly okay with that.

Everyone's scared. Okay?

- They should be.
- I tend to be a little

suspicious of people who tell
me how to f*cking be scared.

You just heard those
people outside, man!

Yeah, that's right, I "heard."

Super convenient we can't
actually see anything.

So, how 'bout we go take a look?

Okay.

Let's move.

Let's just talk, okay?

- No, we're done talking.
- No, please, just relax...

Shut the f*ck up!

Now, you are gonna put down those g*ns

and open the f*ckin' door

or I'm gonna put his
f*cking brains on the wall.

How 'bout that?

Then you're gonna have to sh**t him.

And I'm gonna have to sh**t you...

Right in the f*ckin' head,

'cause you sure as sh*t
ain't opening those doors.

Almost there.

You ever wonder if Abby was right?

Wh...

Hey, what did you say?

What if it's all just a dream?

How the f*ck do you...

Martin! Wha-wha-what's...
What's goin'...

What's... What's goin' on, Martin?

What? Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Martin. Okay, come here. Come here...

All right. All right.

Okay. Hey, Martin, come on.

We're out of time!

Come here, Martin...

Let go, Martin!

My blood is your blood now.

Martin?

The f*ck?

Okay... okay... okay...

What the...

Hey, hey. Hey.

What...

I'm, um...

I'm making some tea.

Uh, hi.

Oh, hi.

Uh, what are you doin'?

My mom always says that
food cures all ills,

so, I don't know.

Tea.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't know.

It's not like a cheese platter
is gonna fix anything, right?

Well, I'd be pretty impressed

if you whipped out a cheese
platter all of a sudden.

You, um...

You doing all right?

That's...

That's a pretty hard
question to answer right now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, what about you? Is that...

Is that really...

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

You should probably get back out there.

She's gonna need you,

and it's a long time until sunrise, so.

Yeah.

- I got it.
- Yeah.

Maybe they weren't screams, maybe...

We're in the middle of the woods.

Maybe it was a coyote or something.

No, it's not an animal, Kelly.

You don't know that.

I grew up on a f*cking farm.

I know what an animal sounds like.

Well, maybe it's a prank or something!

- I don't know, Brian.
- Okay.

Look, I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have snapped.

Hey, it's an adventure, right?

Right? Look, maybe...
Maybe this is just gonna be

like one of those, I don't know,

crazy stories that we
just tell at parties,

and it'll be fun and it'll...

Hello?

Is anyone in there?

Please, help us. We were on a bus.

We took a detour through
town, but we stopped and...

- Hello?
- What the hell?

- Don't go. Don't go, baby.
- I don't wanna die here.

- We need help, please.
- We've gotta help them out!

Wait...

I'll be fine.

Please help us.

Please.

Oh, thank God, we heard the screaming.

You picked a bad spot.

Gus! God dammit, slow down!

Oh God. f*ck.

Okay. Okay. Oh, sh*t. This...

The boy. The...

The one who told you
to wait in the tunnels.

He's my friend.

For a long time he went away,

but now he's back.

How long have you been here?

Oh, it's been a while.

How did you get here?

I don't like to talk about that.

Oh, wow!

I found them.

Look.

Yeah.

Chocolate chip.

If you don't want them,
you don't have to have...

No, no, I... I like chocolate.

Thank you.

I used to have more snacks...

but there haven't been many new people

come through here in
the last few months.

Is that where you get all this stuff?

Some of it.

I mean, some of it was here already.

Some of it belonged to my...

To who?

Who did you come here with?

My mother.

She was nice.

Mm, I think... I think
I have some pretzels,

'cause these are stale.

- What the...
- Boyd?

- What are you doing out here?
- Get in! Hurry!

- They'll see you!
- Okay. It's okay.

Don't worry.

Look.

- Oh, my God!
- We're okay.

- We're okay.
- Help!

Help me!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop!

Please!

I said stop! Stop!

Hey!

They're k*lling people!

- We need to close the door!
- They're coming, they're coming!

- You need to run!
- Please!

- f*ck! Come on!
- Please!

- You need to get inside.
- Get in here! Come on.

- Come on, come on!
- Run, run, run!

- Come on!
- You need to get inside.

Come, on, run, run, run!

- Let's go! Hurry up! Hurry up!
- Run, run, run!

We need to close the door!

- Hurry up!
- Come on, come on. Hurry up!

- Move, move, move!
- Move, move, move!

- Move!
- Close the door!

- Here.
- Okay.

I'm sorry, I should've
stayed at the diner.

I was scared.

- Who are you?
- What?

I asked you a g*dd*mn question!

Elgin.

My name's Elgin.

I was on the bus!

On the what?

What... What is he talking about?

What... What bus?

It really hurts.

You're doing great, man.
Just... just hang in there.

Just try to breathe, okay?

We're gonna get out of
here before you know it.

Hey, Brick.

You like pancakes?

Yeah.

When the sun comes up,
you're gonna have the best

g*dd*mn pancakes you ever had.

Come on now.

You think this skinny
little fucker eats pancakes?

Ow, f*ck, that hurts.

You know, pancakes sound pretty...

Ah, sh*t.

sh*t.

Brick, Brick, you gotta
shut the f*ck up, man.

I know it hurts but keep quiet.

Breathe it out.

Nice and easy.

Tom.

You gotta cover his mouth, man.

I can't get to him!

Tom, what's happening?

Talk to me, man. What is it?

I think he's f*cking dead.

No, no, no! No!

Get off me!

Julie, Julie, no! Julie, no!

No, we have to go out there!

- No!
- Please! We have to help!

We can't. Julie, no!

Julie! Julie!

But they found him! We
have to help him, please!

It's okay.

I can't...

I can't...

It's okay.

It's okay.

I can't... I can't...

It'll be all right.

It'll be all right.

Please.

I don't trust him.

Look, we're still alive.

For now.

Tabitha.

How you holding up?

I'm fine.

You know,

I've probably passed this
truck about a dozen times,

and I didn't reali...
Did you do all this?

I thought you were on a journey.

I was.

Did you find what you were looking for?

What are you drawing?

Things I've seen.

It's good to draw them
when you see them...

so even if you forget,
the pictures remember.

I thought they were dreams,

all those things...

but the pictures remembered.

Oh, the sun's coming up.

Hey, kid.

How many people did you say?

I don't know.

Maybe , .

The lady with the shotgun,

she was trying to get
people to stay in the diner,

but once the house collapsed...

No, no, no. What do you mean?

What do you mean it collapsed?
Which house collapsed?

The, uh, the one next to the diner.

Oh my God!

Oh my God, wh-which...
town... Which way to town!?

Tabitha, it's that way! Tabitha, you...

Close it. Let's go.

Victor, close it!

Come on.

Tabitha?
