- (POUNDING CONTINUES)
Not now.
Listen to me. Tomorrow he attacks,
and you fight Farouk in the
astral plane... your power
against his... and you think you win.
But all that happens is,
you kick him out of his body
- and into mine.
- S-So we leave.
Now, we go home. Your
mother, she's waiting...
No, he won't let you.
It's a trap.
You're in a trap.

I do?

I've got you, old man.
You rest.
You're telling me
that David is a baby?
In this time, yes.
- And that woman...
- Gabrielle.
- Is his mother?
- Mm-hmm.
And we are not going to kill this...
whatever, baby David.
Which would be so easy.
Physically, not morally.
Because why?
Because he's a baby.
It's not his fault.
But it will be his fault...
when he's a grown-up.
(SIGHS)
Maybe, probably.
But we're changing time.
Right? By being here.
So maybe not.
- (EXHALES)
- Remember how I told you
about Oliver and Melanie,
how they raised me?
I remember you saying that, yeah.
And I know it sounds crazy,
even to me,
but they taught me,
there are some people
that you can save and
some that you can't.
David, adult David, we can't save him.
He's too far gone.
But a baby?
This baby?
Him, we can save.
Even though he's gonna
be the exact same person.
Even though he's gonna be
the exact same person.
But he's not yet.
Look, this wasn't my choice.
Any of it.
But we're here.
We could just...
walk away.
It's about change.

And all of the terrible
things that he did...
to me.
So I'm gonna stay.
You don't have to.
Yes, I do.

So, is he a good baby? David?

He cries a lot, like he knows something.
What could he know?
Me.
People talk about having
a second childhood.
What they mean...
is they feel young again.
But I've had two actual childhoods.
Meaning I was a baby twice.
I grew up twice.
The first time I ran,
and then I walked.
This time I crawled,
I walked... I felt safe.

the sickness hit her.

Didn't stop for 14 days.
You're talking about mental illness.

for something so raw.
Like an animal with its
heart on the outside.
It's so odd. I never thought of that.
It's hereditary, what's wrong with him.
Why he's like this.
Who?
Listen to me.
This baby, this little baby.
You have to love him. Okay?
Like his life depends on it.
Like the world will end if you don't.
Hold him and love him.
Don't let the monsters in.
Because when he's grown,
it will be too late.
Hey, look at me.

good against evil.

I'm here to help.
I'm here to help.
Dreaming?
I had that same feeling...
for 30 years.
You know who I am?
Yes, you do.
Open your mind.

My son.
He wanted you to come.
You thought you were
looking for him, but...
he was looking for you.
(POUNDING ON DOOR)
- CHARLES: What's that?
- (POUNDING CONTINUES)
Not now.
Listen to me. Tomorrow he attacks,
and you fight Farouk in the
astral plane... your power
against his... and you think you win.
But all that happens is,
you kick him out of his body
- and into mine.
- S-So we leave.
Now, we go home. Your
mother, she's waiting...
No, he won't let you.
It's a trap.
You're in a trap.
But this time you have the advantage.
I do?
You have me.
(BIRDS TWEETING OUTSIDE)
I've got you, old man.
You rest.
You're telling me
that David is a baby?
In this time, yes.
- And that woman...
- Gabrielle.
- Is his mother?
- Mm-hmm.
And we are not going to kill this...
whatever, baby David.
Which would be so easy.
Physically, not morally.
Because why?
Because he's a baby.
It's not his fault.
But it will be his fault...
when he's a grown-up.
(SIGHS)
Maybe, probably.
But we're changing time.
Right? By being here.
So maybe not.
- (EXHALES)
- Remember how I told you
about Oliver and Melanie,
how they raised me?
I remember you saying that, yeah.
And I know it sounds crazy,
even to me,
but they taught me,
there are some people
that you can save and
some that you can't.
David, adult David, we can't save him.
He's too far gone.
But a baby?
This baby?
Him, we can save.
Even though he's gonna
be the exact same person.
Even though he's gonna be
the exact same person.
But he's not yet.
Look, this wasn't my choice.
Any of it.
But we're here.
We could just...
walk away.
It's about change.
(SCOFFS)
And all of the terrible
things that he did...
to me.
So I'm gonna stay.
You don't have to.
Yes, I do.

So, is he a good baby? David?
He, uh...
He cries a lot, like he knows something.
What could he know?
Me.
People talk about having
a second childhood.
What they mean...
is they feel young again.
But I've had two actual childhoods.
Meaning I was a baby twice.
I grew up twice.
The first time I ran,
and then I walked.
This time I crawled,
I walked... I felt safe.
That's all he wants... to feel safe.

the sickness hit her.

Didn't stop for 14 days.
You're talking about mental illness.
Such a clinical name
for something so raw.
Like an animal with its
heart on the outside.
It's so odd. I never thought of that.
It's hereditary, what's wrong with him.
Why he's like this.
Who?
Listen to me.
This baby, this little baby.
You have to love him. Okay?
Like his life depends on it.
Like the world will end if you don't.
Hold him and love him.
Don't let the monsters in.
Because when he's grown,
it will be too late.
Hey, look at me.
We all have our role to play

good against evil.
