FROM

Previously on From...

We need to figure out

where you're gonna live from now on.

I don't think she's a bad person.

If it's all right, she would like to live here.

- With you. - Okay. Sure.

Abby! Stop! No, no!

Hey, Abbs. I could really use some help.

No! Hey! Hey!

Elgin, I don't want to hate you.

This place took advantage of both of us.

There's something I need your help with.

I think we're gonna need a little bit more.

So, you just... walk inside?

Then I find my dad. Ethan called it Storywalking.

He learned about it from one of his books,

and all his books are under the house now.

Shit!

I see the bag.

What are the titles?

"Grand Gooligog," "The Cromenockle."

Jade, tell me you got something.

The best thing I can do is just find a way

to unlock whatever's locked in here.

Henry said Miranda started seeing this place

after an acid trip they took.

If it worked for her, it stands to reason it could work for me.

The night we arrived here, you had a dream.

- Lake of Tears? - It's here.

And I need you to find it.

- Maybe Jade can help. - Jade?

The lake of what?

Why were you meditating?

Trying to remember something that I used to know.

Hey, Victor, we got a lake to find.

Victor!

Hey, talk to me, Son.

I told myself it wasn't real. I told myself it wasn't real.

My wife, Miranda,

she painted things she saw here.

One of those paintings was of a man in a yellow suit.

You're telling me this could be the same suit?

You don't see a lot of people walking around here

in a canary yellow suit.

Well, Victor obviously recognized it.

He didn't just recognize it.

I watched a grown man wet his pants.

My question is, if the suit's here,

then where's the guy who wore it?

Long gone, maybe.

For all we know, the suit might have been

laying out there in the forest for years.

This close to town?

It's not like it's easy to miss.

Then, maybe those things that come out at night

left it there to mess with our heads.

- Come on. - The point is, we don't know.

The best thing we can do right now is talk to Victor.

I'll... I'll do it. I'll talk to him.

No, maybe we should all...

I... I will talk to my son.

Alone.

Okay.

If there's nothing else, I'll...

- Yeah, no. - Okay.

The young boy, the one dressed in white,

he said to us that we're running out of time.

For 40 years,

that boy was nothing but a painting in my basement.

That suit, this place,

all just paintings in the basement. And now...

I think there was a part of me

that was still trying to pretend any of this was normal.

Does he know? About his wife?

About you?

We don't even know if it's real.

It's real.

No. No, Tabitha's right.

We need to be pretty goddamn sure.

Have you said anything to Fatima?

Nah, she's dealing with enough as is.

All right, then everyone who knows is standing in this room.

Let's keep it that way for now. Understood?

Yeah.

The man in the yellow suit,

if Miranda was able to paint him,

that means, somewhere in your mind,

there might be an answer to who he is.

If this is about your fucking mushrooms...

Boyd, are you seriously okay with him taking magic mushrooms

that he found in a haunted forest?

No, Donna, I'm not.

I'm also not okay with waking up every morning

and counting how many new bodies there are.

Are you okay with that? We're losing. Okay?

I'm not gonna say that out there,

but in here, whatever game this is,

we are losing.

And then that freaky little kid in white pops up

and tells Tabitha that we're running out of time

and we still don't know the goddamn rules.

If there are answers in his head, any answers,

we need to get them out. Okay?

I'll be there with him.

Anything goes wrong, I'm right there.

Well, good luck with that.

Ellis, there are people waiting

to go up to the settlement to gather food.

People still need to eat.

And you, you do this,

you go on this little trip,

you know you may not come back, right?

Yeah.

Come on. Let's go.

Yeah.

Boyd, would you mind giving us a minute, please?

What? Yeah. Yes, of course.

Of course. Yeah.

Come in.

I hope I didn't wake you.

I didn't sleep much.

Neither did I, at first.

I, um...

I was... hoping we could talk.

Okay.

I assume... Kenny told you about me?

About what I did?

Yeah.

So, why would you want you live here?

Because when I met you, I knew you were kind.

I know what you did was terrible,

but my father used to always say

that only good people are tortured

by the bad things that they've done.

Plus, I figured here I'd get my own room.

I'll go make us breakfast.

I'll be right down.

Ow.

Ow! No, no, no, no, no! No! Please!

No!

- Sara? - No!

No, no, no, please!

What's happened?

Why were you in the woods with Ethan?

You should really ask Ethan about that.

I'm asking you.

Did he tell you he saw Jim in the forest?

Yeah.

Well, apparently, Jim told him

that he had to find the Lake of Tears.

Does that sound familiar?

That's not... that's not real.

No, it's not. But it is to him.

I'm not exactly the best person

to be giving advice about...

well, anything really,

but I do know...

some kids just feel more comfortable

living in their imagination. Right?

It's where they go when the world gets scary.

'Cause, sometimes, believing in impossible things,

it... helps with the, um...

It just helps.

I'm sorry about what I said in the barn.

Don't be.

You weren't wrong.

Be careful with those.

Everything all right?

If you can tell me the last time everything was all right,

you win a cookie.

Are you ready for this?

Fuck no.

Ethan?

Dad?

Can you hear me?

Please, answer me.

Dad.

Yeah?

Why didn't you tell me about the Lake of Tears?

Why did you go to Jade and Victor and not come to me?

Ethan.

I need you to talk to me, please.

I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't believe me.

He told me I need to find it.

He told me.

And when I find it, that'll prove it was real.

He's not gone. He's still here.

Okay, then.

I need you to pack a bag.

Why?

We're going on a trip.

You find anything?
