Hey. Oh, hey, big girl.

- Shh, it's okay.

Okay, let's go see.

Hey. Hey.

Oh, my God. Hey.



- What's happening?
- Nothing. It's okay.

Go back to sleep, sweetheart.
It's okay.

(water spraying)

(electricity buzzing)

Kevin?

Kev... Kevin?

Ah, fuck.

- Michael: She's still not answering.
- John: Wait. Get in the truck.

(phone ringing)

Hi, this is Kevin Garvey.
Leave a message.

- (beeps)
- Kevin, where are you? Your truck is here.

- You need to call me.
- (engine starts)

Don't know where you are.
You need to call me.

(tires squeal)



Are you okay?

Evie didn't come
home last night.

She was out with her friends
and they're gone, too.

Gone?

(phone ringing)

(dogs barking)

Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck!

No fucking cable.

Fuck.

- Okay.
- (line ringing)

Operator: 911,
what's your emergency?

Did... did it happen again?

Ma'am, can you repeat...

I can't find my...
My boyfriend isn't here.

Did it... did it happen?

Ma'am, if you've
experienced the earthquake...

No, no,
not the fucking earthquake.

Not the fucking earthquake.
Did it ha... did...

- Are the people gone?
- (door opens)

Are they gone?

(crying)

(cooing)

Looks like you have some
explaining to do, sport.

Hey, have you seen my phone?

I had cigarettes in here.

Maybe you smoked them while
you were out sleepwalking.

Where'd you go?

I woke up in a drained pond.

When I crawled out,
there was a car parked up on top.

A white Mercedes. It was empty.

Then I saw another car coming.

It was John, the neighbor.

His son was with him.

I think my phone is
probably up there.

They're gonna find it.

I think I should tell the cops.

Tell them what?

You're gonna say you don't remember
anything before you woke up

in the exact spot where our neighbor's
daughter and her two friends disappeared from?

Wait, Evie's missing?

(knocking on door)

(knocking continues)

This your truck
parked out front?

Yeah.

Putting together a search
and rescue out the woods.

Gonna need to rig some winches.

Think you can help us out?

Yeah, sure.

Just follow me over here.

- Yes, I'll unhook my trailer over here.
- All right.

- Need help?
- No.

Okay.

- (crowd clamoring)
- Ranger over P.A.: This area is restricted.

We need you to stay
behind the line.

Come in. Go, go.

- Ranger over P.A.: Stay behind the tape, please.
- Whoa, hold on.

Ranger ♪2 over P.A.:
Do not park your vehicle here.

There's a table up the
road for volunteers.

(clamor continues)

Jesus.

You woke up down there?

Yeah.

I came up that embankment.

That's when I saw the car.

You should get down there.

If someone else finds your phone,
you can say you just lost it today.

That's pretty fucking smart.

Thanks.

You might want to start at the
car and work your way back down.

- Where are you going?
- To find the girls.

(camera clicking)

(camera clicking)

Ranger: Hey. Can I help you?

Oh, I'm part of the rescue.
I brought the winch in.

- Wristband.
- Sorry?

I need to scan your wristband.

Oh, yeah. Of course.

- Ranger: We had to close the park down.
- (beeps)

Make sure everyone belongs here.

It says temporary,
but we just bought a house, so...

They told us to keep wearing it.

You bought a house? Where?

Um...

Uh, Stanton.

You have an address?

It's 41, I think.

- You think?
- Yeah.

Vega, that's my neighbor.

Oh, yeah, sure, John.

Want to give us a hand?

Yeah.

Take that.

_

- (megaphone squeals)
- Ranger over P.A.: Thanks for coming out.

We appreciate you
helping us with this.

You see anything that don't
belong, don't touch it.

Leave a ribbon, find one of us.

Let's go.

(dog barking)

Woman: God be in my head
and in my understanding.

God be in mine eyes
and in my looking.

God be at mine end
and at my departing.

We are the 9,261. We are spared.

All: We are the 9,261.

We are spared.

Woman: For that,
we are grateful.

- Amen.
- All: Amen.

All:
Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

(no audible dialogue)

♪ Gonna make some
formula for you... ♪

Oh... shit.

Okay. Whoa.

Hi.

Hi.

I heard about your sister.

My dad and Nora went to go help,
you know, look for her.

Thanks.

Why are you wet?

Do you know how to fix a sink?

(chuckles)

(faint music playing)

That's it.

- I got it?
- Yeah.

You got it.

(exhales)

Sorry I bothered you.
Didn't know what else to do.

It's okay.

What?

Why aren't you with
them looking for her?

I'm sorry. I'm an idiot.

You don't have to answer that.

My sister isn't here anymore.

Where is she?

When I talk about this
to people like you,

they just look at
me like I'm crazy.

People like me?

Who don't believe in God.

(Lily fussing)

I think I just made your
sister uncomfortable.

You don't make me
feel uncomfortable.

I should get back.

Thanks for saving me.

Any time.

(door closes)

- (clamoring)
- Get back!

I'm not telling you again.

Ranger:
Make room for these people, now.

- Come on!
- Let's go, let 'em through. Let 'em through.

- Close it up.
- Hey, step back!

- Nothing down there.
- Man: You sure?

- Certain.
- Thank God.

- This is our neighbor Kevin. Sam and Loretta.
- How are you?

- Kevin: Sam.
- John: Emily.

Their daughters were with Evie.

Oh, I'm sorry.

If there's anything
we can do to help...

Hey, they're towing
the car up to Austin.

Didn't find anything?

Nothing came up on
the black light.

They did pull a palm print
off the driver's side window.

What?

Yeah, the state guy said it was
too big to be one of the girls'.

A palm print?

(clamoring escalates)

Ranger: Stop that! No, stop!

God, these fucking animals.

Okay, we'll get 'em out of here.

No, let them.

It's just water.

(choir singing)

(insects chirping)

(chatter)

Any luck?

No.

If the phone turns up,

I'll just say I dropped it today,
you know, like you said.

So I should just keep looking?

That's probably a good idea.

(truck door opens)

Here.

- Are we okay?
- Yeah, we're okay.

- Love you.
- I love you, too, Kevin.

(engine starts)

_

- Thanks.
- (bleats)

(faint music playing)

(bell jingles)

- Earthquake?
- Woman: Yeah.

- (bell jingles)
- What can I do you for?

Can I get a fifth of Wild Turkey
and a carton of Reds, please?

Shit, forgot my wallet.

Put it on my tab.

- You don't have to do that.
- Eh, my pleasure.

Looks like you got
a fun night planned.

But you really shouldn't smoke.

They're for my boyfriend.
I'm enabling him.

- Ah.
- Give me your address. I'll pay you back.

No, no, consider it a gift
from me to your boyfriend.

Thank you, sir. I'm Nora.

- (cash register beeping)
- Virgil. Virgil.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

What?

Your loss.

What a horrible thing.

Woman: God damn it, Virgil,
what did I tell you?

You want to come in here,
you can't do this shit.

Get out.

I'm sorry if I
caused any distress.

(door opens, bell jingles)

(honks horn)

I know exactly
where your phone is.

I can tell you what happened
to those girls, too.

All you have to do is ask.

Smart. Retrace your steps.

You're a regular
fucking Hardy Boy.

Dipshits, those two.

Hey, why didn't you tell Nora

about the whole cinder block
tied around your ankle thing?

You afraid she'll
jump to conclusions?

I know what conclusion
I'd jump to.

You're cold, buddy.
Cold, cold, cold.

Cold.

Warm.

Oh, yeah. Getting warmer.

Oh!

Oh, yeah. Warmer.

You're getting real hot now,
Kevin.

Oh, you're on goddamn fire.

♪ We're no
strangers to love ♪

♪ You know the
rules and so do I ♪

♪ I just want to tell
you how I'm feeling ♪

♪ Got to make you understand...


Don't get in that car, Kevin!

You still here, man?

Yeah, I just...

I lost my phone when I was
out here earlier today.

Find it?

Yeah, I did. It's bricked, so...

I was gonna maybe go
check with the rangers,

see if they needed
some help in the woods.

They ain't gonna find
nothing in the woods.

Hop in, I'll give you a ride.

No, uh, Nora was gonna come back,
swing around, pick me up.

Hop in, man. I got you.

All right.

What's that?

Birthday present.

Feel that quake last night?

- What?
- Earthquake.

Did it wake you up?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that woke us.

Hand me one of those.

- You can help yourself.
- I'm good.

(can tab pops)

Thought you didn't drink.

My daughter's missing.

Don't... we live back there.

_

- Patrick.
- John, hey.

- How you holding up?
- Open the gate, please.

The natives in the camp are
restless 'cause we closed the park.

You might want to
roll your window up.

Will do.

We're here for you, man.

(crowd clamoring)

These fucking people wait for
weeks to get in for 10 hours

just so they can buy a T-shirt.

I think they're looking
for more than a T-shirt.

Yeah?

Well, what are you looking for?

A fresh start.

No, you paid $3 million for
a house that's cracking apart

just so you could live on the
other side of that bridge.

What you were looking
for is to feel safe.

Man: Hey,
what's going on in there?

Why won't they let anybody in?

What happened to you guys?!

No safer here than
anywhere else.

Of that I am sure.

There are no
miracles in Miracle.

(siren wailing)

God damn it.

(tires squealing)

What's happening?

Stay in the car.

T.J.: You need to go home now.

No, I told you guys what I need.
Now move your damn truck.

What's he doing here?

John: I asked you to go with me,
you said no, so he's coming.

- Now move your truck.
- John, listen to me.

Isaac didn't do anything.

There was a palm print on the
car that my daughter was in.

Like it was left for me.
A goddamn palm print.

- (conversation continues)
- Patti: Lucky duck.

John: We have a problem.
Now I'm going to take care of it.

Looks like you framed
someone without even trying.

- T.J.: Isaac didn't do anything.
- John: I don't have time.

- I'm not hearing that.
- Jesus, John.

- John!
- Hold on.

(engine starts)

John!

John, don't do this.

Come on, brother,
what are you doing, huh?

What are you doing?

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

I'm gonna go talk to somebody.

- Who?
- A liar.

Said he could tell
people their future.

Said something bad was gonna happen
to me, now my daughter's gone.

Why would he have your daughter?

Well, I might have
burned down his house.

You coming with me?

Hey, hey!
Why'd you bring me here, man?

- What?
- You picked me up.

Why? 'Cause you wanted company?

'Cause your friends said you
weren't thinking straight?

- No.
- Well, you're not.

- Let me talk to this guy.
- No, come on, man. Step aside.

Hang on, hang on.

You think he's gonna let you
in the door with that bat?

I was a cop.

- No shit.
- No shit.

Look, if he knows anything
about your daughter

or knows anything about these
girls, then I'll fucking know.

We'll take it from there.

What's his name?

- Isaac.
- All right, Isaac.

What room is he in?

- 12.
- All right, so I'll go talk to Isaac.

You wait here.

All right.

All right.

Wait here.

Gosh,
you sure defused that bomb.

Nice work, Chief.

My husband Neil... sorry,
my ex-husband...

Was engaging in some pretty
suspicious texting activity

and then he would leave late
at night to go to the office.

"To the office."
That was the best he could do.

I mean, put some fucking
originality into it, Neil.

So I followed him to a
motel just like this one.

Sat in the car.

I watched while he
walked into the room.

And I considered turning
around and going back home.

I was scared, Kevin.

Scared that when I caught him,
it'd be over.

He would leave me.

But I needed to see,

to know.

So got out of my car, walked over
to the room and I took a peek.

There was Neil buck
naked and some woman.

She had her shirt on.
That was it.

She was taking a shit on him,
Kevin.

A shit.

I was married to that
asshole for 17 years

- and never once did he ask me to shit on him.
- (knocking)

Laurie ever tell you about that?

- She was my shrink for a long time.
- Security.

I always wondered whether
that doctor-patient

confidentiality
thing was bullshit.

(knocking) Security.

Can you please open your door?

- Is Isaac here?
- Who?

- (thumping)
- John: Open this door!

I know you're in there!
You used your credit card!

- John!
- (glass shatters)

- Open this...
- (gunshot)

Oh, shit.

- (John shouting)
- (glass shatters)

Let go of me!

He knows where she is!
Where is she?

Enough of this shit, John!

Hey, relax. It's okay.

Relax?
Get the fuck out of my room!

You've been shot.
You've been shot.

- Where is she?
- Who?

My daughter.

Whatever you're looking for,
it ain't here.

Now get the fuck out of my room,
John Murphy.

- Go.
- Let's do that.

Let's go back.

Isaac: Go.

(whispering) Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

Isaac:
Ain't nothing more dangerous

than a man who don't
believe in nothing.

Hey.

We gotta get you to a hospital,
man.

- No.
- You're shot.

You need to go see a doctor.

No hospitals.

You said before you'd
do anything to help.

Well, help.

Hey, I'm driving.

(groans)

(engine starts)

(tires squeal)

Hey, babe.

I got shot.

(door opens)

- Hey.
- Hey.

- She asleep?
- Yeah.

I couldn't find the box with the
books in it, so I made up a story.

Did it have a happy ending?

What kind of a sick
fuck do you think I am?

Where's Dad?

He's still out there looking.

You're 18, right?

17.

Close enough.

(dog barking)

Why do you think he sleepwalks?

I don't know.

Stress?

The town was losing its shit

and he was in charge.

And I guess now he needs
to lose his shit, too.

He's not in charge anymore.

And we left town.

Wherever you go, there you are.

Young lady, you are wise.

(pours whiskey)

Michael, the boy next door...

he says his sister departed.

She didn't depart.

- How do you know that?
- Because I do.

How?

Before I worked in
benefits in the DSD,

they had me in the
fraudulent claims department.

People who said their family members
departed so they could get a check.

My beat was
secondary departures.

I got assigned this woman.

She and her husband used to walk
their dog together every morning.

It was about a year and
a half after the 14th.

And as they're walking out the
front door, the phone rings.

So she goes back inside
and she picks it up.

Talks for like 30
seconds and hangs up.

When she steps back outside,
there's the dog,

leash just lying on the ground,
husband's gone.

So the logical explanation

is that he went where 140
million other people went...

Into thin air.

I found that fucker
in Puerto Rico.

He was careful.

He made small withdrawals
from their bank account

for six months so he
could build a nest egg,

and then he just chose
his moment and he ran.

Why?

Because he had the
greatest scapegoat

in the history of civilization.

The Sudden Departure was
a one-time-only event.

The flood happened three
years ago on October 14th,

and the ark took on all
the animals it needed.

Why in God's name would
it take on any more?

Kevin: All right.

- (groans)
- Easy, easy.

- Lay back. Lay back.
- Easy. Just lie back, lie back.

- (groans)
- You're all right.

- What was it?
- .22 through the door.

Erika: It's not that deep.
I can see the bullet.

- I think I should just go.
- You're good here.

- What's that?
- It's for the pain.

No, no,
I don't want to be knocked out.

Okay.

(groans)

Just relax.

That's better.

She knocked me out.

I thought I could find her.

I know. I know.

(sighs)

(door opens)

I gotta go out.
Will you keep an eye on Lily?

Yeah. Where are you going?

Church.

Matt: If they asked me,
I'd say lean into it.

That's the sermon
they need to hear.

These people haven't
been in this situation.

I offer expertise
based on experience.

But they're not gonna ask.

I'll sit there while Winston
goes on about Proverbs

and the congregation's
eyes glaze over.

Nora.

Is it real?

What?

Is this place real?

I'm not sure I
understand the question.

One of the only reasons
we chose this place

was because you
said it was special.

You told us we would
feel safe here.

Now I'm waking up to fucking
earthquakes and missing teenagers.

My boxes aren't even unpacked and
it's the same goddamn thing I left.

Mary woke up.

What?

The very first
night we were here.

I thought I was dreaming,
but she was back.

I said we should
go to the hospital,

but Mary,
she just wanted to talk.

The last thing she
remembered was the accident,

so I told her everything
that happened since.

We talked for hours.

And we cried.

Until we fell asleep
in each other's arms.

(choir singing)

And when I woke up,
she was like this again.

For some reason,
the people in this town

don't want me to talk
about what happened.

Maybe they don't believe me.

Maybe you don't.

But I got a glimpse,

a moment.

And every day since I've wondered
if it's ever gonna happen again.

If I'll get her back
for good this time.

But the one thing I've never
wondered is if it's real.

It's real.

- (crickets chirping)
- (dog barking)

You left this at our house.

Thanks.

What are those for?

- There's one on our house, too.
- _

Before park services took over,

some people from the government
came by to every house

to make sure it was true.

That no one was gone.

Oh.

Do you want to come in?

I can't. I'm watching Lily.

You alone?

Mm-hmm.

Me, too.

(crying)

John said he burned
that guy's house down.

The guy who shot him.

Well,
then I guess they're even now.

(metal clanging)

Burning down houses is new.

Usually he just gives a warning.

Warning for what?

(sighs)

When people found out
about what happened here,

there was a lot of confusion.

And then there were claims,

claims that were untrue.

John was in at the time.

But when he came home and
saw what was going on...

he wasn't having it.

"There are no
miracles in Miracle."

- He gave you the speech?
- Mm-hmm.

Evie was a miracle.

She came too early.

24 weeks.

You know, a lot of people don't know
that twins can be born two months apart.

Michael, he stayed put,

but Evie,
she couldn't wait to get started.

She was one pound, one ounce.

(chuckles)

Now look at her.

I know what people are saying.

They're saying that
something bad happened.

She's...

playing a joke and she's
giggling in the woods.

No one would ever
want to hurt Evie.

She would never want
to hurt anybody else.

She's better than that.

She is exceptional.

Exceptional.

Just like this town.

Things are gonna change now.

_

I like them, the Murphys.

They're exciting.

And that Erika is something,
huh?

Gets the call her husband's
been fucking shot.

She just pulls the bullet out,
no questions asked.

That's real commitment.
That's trust.

That's love.
Not like what you've got.

What you've got,
Kevin, isn't love.

It's damage control.

Your family blew up,
Nora's family blew up.

And now you're all just
clinging on to each other

'cause you need to
cling on to something.

That's why she bought the house.

She didn't really care
whether you wanted to or not.

Her money, her choice.

That must have
been emasculating.

And you... Jesus.

If you loved them, you'd trust
them enough to tell them about me.

If you loved them,
you wouldn't lie.

Shut the fuck up!

I didn't tell them about you
because you're not fucking here.

I love my family.

I love them.

Then why did you try
to kill yourself?

What?

Come on.

This isn't a big mystery.

I was right there with you.

You walked out of your house

in the middle of the night

and you found a rope
and a cinder block

and then you tied
it to your ankle

and you threw it
into a goddamn lake.

Let's face it, Kevin,

there are people who try to
commit suicide for attention.

And then there are people

who really want to fucking die.

Like me and you.

I watched you do it.

And you did not hesitate,
my friend.

Plunk.

Right into the wet abyss.

And if not for an act
of divine intervention,

you'd be gone.

I'm sorry, Kevin,
but these are not the actions

of a man who loves his family.

I don't want to kill myself.

Well...

(sighs)

you're certainly
entitled to your opinion.

I'm just glad we
finally talked about it.

Oh...

since you didn't seem to
give a shit enough to ask me,

I'll tell you.

They vanished.

The girls.

Drove right by in their car

listening to their music,

not a worry in the world.

Then poof, gone.

Mama was right.

Things are gonna change indeed.
