to the girls from gateways.

- Hi.

- What are we having?

Your favorite.

Here.

- Oh, thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm so glad I have you.

I'm glad I have you, too.

- Hi, this is evette.

- Leave a message.

Mom. Mom!

Hi, this is evette.

Leave a message.

- Hey, where you going?

- I'm gonna take a drive.

What, this late?

Look, tom knows something,

and I wanna know what he knows.

- You want company? I'll...

- No.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah, I'm just getting

ready for bed.

- Wow, you've bounced back quickly.

- Oh, thanks.

I'm almost back

to my pre-baby weight.

Oh, god, I bet Adam can't keep

his hands off you.

I don't know.

That would be nice.

I think since having Emma,

things have changed.

It's different.

And we're different.

You know, you can have

whatever you want

if you really want it.

Beth...

Anyone can have anything.

But no one can have everything.

Adam.

Breaking into my place?

Think I got her here?

Have the police get a warrant.

No.

Think you're hard, boy?

There's things in this town

all kinds of harder.

What's that supposed to mean?

What things?

This town is full of crazy.

You should be harassing

glenda, not me.

Are you one of them?

What?

Are you one of them?

- One of who?

- Are you one of them?

- Jake, what the hell!

- You all right?

Yes, I'm all right.

Why would you do that?

He was about to cut

your head off.

Thank god I followed you.

Come on, let's go.

Wait a second!

Wait a second.

You don't think

he's dead, do you?

No, no. I just...

I just hit him.

He's alive.

- Wait, what are you doing?

- I'm calling him an ambulance.

Oh, okay. All right.

Think about what you're doing.

Think about what you just did.

I'm sorry. You would be

lying there right now,

if I hadn't shown up.

He's fine. He's not dead.

He's gonna wake up.

Either way, he's gonna wake up

and he's gonna tell them

that he saw me here.

He reeks of booze.

He's not gonna remember

what the hell happened.

- Sh*t.

Come on!

...Shh, shh, shh.

What are you doing?

- I think I just saw mom.

- What? Where?

Up in glenda's window

in that room.

Well, I think

you're seeing things, man.

- Am I?

- Probably just glenda.

No! I know what I saw.

- Come on.

- Adam, hold on!

...Hey Adam, you're not...

...wait here!

- Hello?

- Who's upstairs?

- Up a... who's up where?

- Upstairs.

I just saw my mother upstairs.

No, there... there...

I don't understand.

- In my house?

- Glenda, please.

Can I take a look upstairs?

There's nothing up there.

I live alone!

Glenda, please!

Just let me take a look.

- No, no, no, no.

- I need to know what I saw.

No! No! No! Please!

No! Please,

don't go up there!

I live alone!

No! No! No!

Stop him!

Please don't.

Stop him!

Stop him!

Stop, stop, stop.

Stop him!

No! No! No! No!

No!

There he is.

My child.

I couldn't save him

after the fires.

Please don't tell.

What the hell?

Hey.

How's it going?

All right.

I'm just tired.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

- You look tired, too.

- Oh, thanks.

No, I'm sorry.

I mean, you look great.

You're beautiful.

So what is it?

Are you scared I'm gonna have

feelings for him again?

Are you scared

he hasn't forgiven you?

Mmm, can it be both?

I don't know. I just want

him to trust me again.

- You know?

- Mmm.

I don't know how

this is gonna work.

He definitely still

seems upset with me.

You're not worried about me?

Nope.

- You know I love you.

- Of course.

Hey.

Were you all right last night?

What?

What do you mean?

You were crying in your sleep.

I was?

Or at least I thought you were.

You were probably just dreaming.

I don't remember.

It's gonna be okay.

- Hey.

- What was that about?

Well, he's just checking on us.

How close are you with

everyone in this group?

Well, they just wanna

help us, man.

- Do they?

- Yeah.

Do you remember Angela?

Angela who?

Angela from high school?

Uh, no.

Danny's sister?

Oh! Yeah,

what about her?

Do you know if she's all right?

What do you mean?

Morning.

- Hey.

- Hey. Good to see you.

So what's the plan for today?

Um, I don't know.

I'm sorry, what about her?

Wasn't important.

Okay.

Lawrence!

Lawrence!

Hey, man.

We'll be back.

- You have to leave now?

- Yeah, I told you.

We're just gonna get some clothes

and stuff from the house.

We'll be back in a few hours.

- A few hours?

- Yeah.

I left two messages

with that detective.

I still haven't

heard anything back yet.

Okay. I'll call him

from the road.

Why can't Christy just go?

You all right, man?

Just relax.

What are you doing?

Getting rid of this sh*t.

I'll be back.

Do you want me to come with you?

No, stay with the baby.

I'm getting to the bottom

of this right now.

Adam!

You know, we deserve better.

Things are gonna

work out for us...

Soon.

This faction is tremendous.

- You have all done so well.

We've had our share

of complications,

but all has been rectifiable.

The rewards tonight

will be so fulfilling.

She's beautiful.

- She is so perfect.

Do you remember when we all

came here as kids?

When we first put these up?

I thought I might find you here.

I'm so glad you came.

These woods have kind of

become my home.

Fluke of nature,

they're the only place

in the county

that didn't get scorched.

I think that's why they don't

like to come here.

Why did you say

Lawrence is a monster?

Wherever they're from,

whatever darkness,

what does it matter

what you call them?

They're here, Adam.

And you're with them,

or you're here...

With me.

Come on!

The first reference I could find

was the Boston

molasses flood in 1919,

gateways was there helping people who

had lost their homes and loved ones

get back on their feet, and,

boy, did they do a good job,

because every one in that town

went on with their life

like nothing had ever happened.

And then babies

started getting stolen.

Babies connected

to the people who joined.

And the dust bowl, coal fires,

earthquakes, tornadoes,

it's not every disaster,

but where gateways goes,

everyone comes out

just fixed and happy,

and one child lighter,

and, and look...

They showed up before.

They showed up two weeks

before the fires hit.

Everywhere they've ever been,

it's like, they knew...

They knew in advance.

They know, or they cause

the disasters.

How can they cause

the disasters?

Um... always just a few weeks

before something happens.

And always with him.

That's impossible.

I wish it were.

Gateway started the fires.

What is he?

He burns your life

to the ground,

and then trades you...

A child for the perfect life.

- Why children?

- I don't know.

Maybe it's 'cause

they're babies,

they're innocent,

they don't know any better,

or they can be

raised in some way,

or maybe they just

consume their souls.

I don't know. All I know

is no children ever come back.

You need to get your child

away from here

as fast as you can,

and you need to get to your wife

because they're probably
