[announcer]
Previously on The Returned...

[Peter whispering]
It's okay.

Sing a song
inside your head until we leave.

Who are you talking to?

It's just a little kid.
Come on.

You afraid of the dark?

You know what I used to do
when I was afraid?

I would sing a song
inside my head.

- You should try it.
- Go home.

You just want me gone
so you can have Ben

and your friends
all to yourself.



That's right.
I want you gone.

[Ben]
What's on your back?

[Adam]
What is going on?

Why is Alice locked up,
and where's Ma?

- Ma is dead.
- Why don't I remember?

Because you weren't here.

Then where the hell was I?

With her.

[door slamming]

[gasps]

Tony! Tony!

Ma? What's wrong?

He got out.

I locked it, Ma.



How did this happen?

Explain it to me.

Go ahead.
I'm listening.

Look at me.

Do you know
how stupid you are?

Do you?

It'll be okay.

I'll bring him home.

Maybe he's just out hunting.

Hunting what?

I can't live
like this anymore, Tony.

It has to stop.

Tony, my sweet boy.

I know you love him,

but sooner or later
you have to face the truth.

Your brother is sick,

and no matter
how hard we try to help him,

he'll never get better.

[engine turns over]

[somber music]

♪♪

[people cheering]

[parking brake cranks]

[screams]

[muffled screams, groaning]

Shh. That's it.

It's over.

[Tony]
Adam!

[breathing heavily]

[people chattering,
laughing in the distance]

[grunting]

[Tony sobbing quietly]

[Adam]
What are you doing?

Tony.

[sobbing]
Tony. please!

I swear I won't do it again.

[groaning]

Mama! Mama, help me!

Mama, help me--

[shovel clangs]

[Tony]
Forgive me.

[Adam]
What's wrong?

It's not too rare, is it?

Mm, I was thinking

maybe tomorrow
I could borrow some money

and take your truck into town.

We need supplies,

you know,
like groceries and stuff.

What if somebody sees you?

Like who?

Um, anyone?

You said I was sick,
but you never said with what.

You know what
you were sick with.

[clears throat]

Evening, Doctor.

So...

what now?

Now?

Now I'm gonna finish
this bottle,

and then I'm going to bed...

alone.

[Sighs]

Rowan, everything I've done--

the cameras, keeping
Simon's suicide from you--

I did it to protect you.

You lied to us.

You really want to have
that discussion right now?

About who lied to who?

He was in our attic, Rowan,
with Chloe asleep upstairs.

He's her father.

[Sighs]

Look, I know how much
you loved him.

And seeing him again--

I can't imagine
how confusing that is.

So what happened
between you two...

I get it.

I can move past it.

I want to move past it.

But you need to listen to me.

Simon being back,
it isn't right.

But he's here.

He shouldn't be.

I don't know
what brought him back,

but whatever he is now
is dangerous...

and a part of you
has to feel that.

You think about that,

and you decide
what you want.

[keys jingling]

[door opens, slams]

[pencil scratching]

Hey.

What are you doing up?

I know who you are.

What?

You killed my mom.

You killed me.

You?

[Megan]
Okay, everyone, listen up.

Instead of reading
about Caldwell's history,

Miss Blackshaw
is going to show us some.

She's gonna start
with Caldwell's memorial

to the Rawlins Dam tragedy.

Thanks, Megan.

So did any of you know
that right now we are standing

in front of a mural

that was put up
to honor people

who died when Rawlins Dam
burst 29 years ago?

Most of the south side
of town was destroyed,

but the greatest loss

were the 84 citizens
of Caldwell who were killed.

Could it happen again?

No, they rebuilt the dam
and fixed it,

so now it's better than ever.

Mom, are you okay?

I'm fine.

[Megan]
Okay, everyone, let's keep going.

We still have
arts and crafts to do.

[Helen]
No luck, huh?

Oh.

Uh, no.

Well,
I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm sure when the boy's ready,
he'll find you.

Did he say anything to you
before he left?

No.

Did he say anything to you?

No.

Where are you going?

For a walk.

Good luck.

[door squeaking]

[door closes]

[birds chirping, water rushing]

[cell phone vibrating]

[Marie]
Seriously?

Banks.

[Mark]
It's Baa.

You are aware
it's my day off, right?

Followed up
on that missing-persons report.

And what do you got?

I found an old report
in the database.

Four years ago,
a woman came into the precinct,

said she'd come across
a little boy

wandering alone in Lynn Park.

"Approximately 7 years old,
4 feet tall,

brown hair and brown eyes."

It was filed as a 273-Adam,

but the boy
was never heard from again.

That's it?

You interrupted my morning
for that?

What exactly am I interrupting,
Officer Banks?

Your girl's there,
isn't she?

[chuckles]
Eat shit, Bao.

What was the boy's name?

Never got one.

The woman who reported it
said the kid never spoke.

Wait.
Before you go...

what are you two wearing?

Good-bye.

I'm sorry. I have to go in
for a few hours.

Unbelievable.

I know.

But I'll be see you
for dinner, okay?

It's just work.

There's a lot going on.

[Sighs]

- Hey, Nikki.
- Hey, Peter.

What's going on?

I was hoping to have a word
with the young boy

I brought in yesterday--
Victor.

Right, well,
I'm sorry,

but Victor's
not here right now.

He actually wandered off
this morning.

We have people
out looking for him now.

Why didn't you call us?

Call in the cavalry
because a boy went exploring?

What did you want
to speak with Victor about?

I was just checking up
on an old report.

It's probably nothing.

Just let me know by tonight
if you don't find him.

Okay.

[engine turns over]

[both breathing heavily]

A couple fishermen saw the deer
floating in the river.

Where are
the bullet wounds?

There weren't any,
far as we could tell.

This river flows
out of Rawlins Dam,

which is the water supply
for the county.

Better get DWP out here,
have 'em run some tests.

See if there are any more
carcasses floating in the river

and get 'em to the M.E.

And find a cause of death.

[knock at door]

Hey.

Uh, so the cops
were just here.

They'll be back,
so I don't think it's safe

for you to stay here.

Do you--
do you have any other--

a Place you can go?

No.

Okay.

I got an idea.

Claire, this is Simon.

He's the one I told you about.

Please come in.

Camille.

This is Simon.

He and Lena
met at the Dog Star.

He's like you.

Hi.

Come in.
Have a seat.

Thank you for being open
to this.

Being around someone
who understands what

she's going through is exactly
what Camille needs right now.

I'd like to stay,
but this young boy

went missing
from the center this morning.

I should help look for him.

- Let me walk you out.
- Okay.

Uh...

all right, well,
I promise it'll just be

a day or two until
we figure something else out.

- It's no trouble.
- Okay.

Simon's lucky having
you watching out for him.

- [chuckles]
- You're a good man.

Hey.

You Okay?

Yeah.
I'll call you.

[thud]

[vehicle approaching]

[truck door opens, closes]

[Adam]
What'd you get?

Whose blood is that?

I killed a deer.

Was Lucy a deer?

She worked
at the Dog Star.

Police had pictures.

I saw what you did to her.

It's okay. You can tell me.
I won't do it again.

Do what again?

Tony, do what again?

I know you tried to fight it
with the hunting

and the animals and that
you couldn't do it alone.

I know that now.
I'm sorry.

We didn't know
how to stop you.

It was you.

You killed me.

Ma said you were sick.

She said there was no way
for us to help you.

No, no, no, no, she wouldn't--
she wouldn't do that.

We made a mistake.

Adam, we made
a mistake, but--

but it doesn't matter
anymore

'cause you're back now.

Oh!

[groaning]

Maybe I'm back to cut
your throat for what you did.

[sobbing]
Please do it, then.

Please just do it.

Please just do it.
Please, Adam.

Please just do--

Adam, please forgive me.

Adam.
Forgive me, Adam!

[sniffles] I'm sorry.

[sobbing]

How long have you been back?

A few days,
same as you.

Do your parents know?

No, I never knew
my real parents.

Do you remember anything,
like, from when you died?

No.

Your mom's friend Peter--
he, uh, said I was hit by a car,

but I don't have
any memory of it...

just parts before it.

Like what?

It was my wedding day

and the day I found out
I was gonna be a father.

I, um--

I'd gone to pick up my suit
at the rental place,

and I was walking
to the chapel,

and I remember
I kept thinking,

"Wow.

"This amazing, perfect girl
is gonna marry me,

and we're gonna
have a baby.

How the hell
did that happen?"

It was this...

intense feeling,

like I was happy

but also afraid.

Afraid of what?

I don't know.

All these incredible things
were happening.

I guess part of me
kept asking,

"Why me?"

You know,
like I didn't deserve it.

Yeah.
I don't know, though.

I-I'm starting to think maybe
it had to be this way

for a reason.

Rowan and I were meant
to be together.

Nothing can stop that.

Love is stronger than death.

Yeah.
Yeah, I guess it is.

Hey, do you think--

you think you can do
something for me?

Sure.

Dead people
got to stick together, right?

[knock at door]

Can I help you?

I have a message
for you from Simon.

He says to meet him at the train
station tonight at 6:00

and bring Chloe.

And, um, don't pack
too much stuff,

or you'll look suspicious.

Wait.

Simon's with you?

I'm helping him out
until you guys can leave town.

Why are you helping him?

What he's going through
isn't easy.

So he told you
what happened to him?

Yes.

Are you...

like Simon?

You shouldn't try to fight it,
you know.

Fight what?

Fate. It's why Simon's back--
for you.

He said
it's meant to be.

Nothing can stop it.

Well, no trauma
whatsoever to the body.

No toxins in the tissue,
so it wasn't poison.

So how did they die?

They drowned.

I've been hunting deer

since I was big enough
to hold a rifle.

They're excellent swimmers.

An entire herd

of healthy adult deer
just drowning like that--

it doesn't make any sense.

Look, I-l know this is
gonna sound crazy, but, uh...

I think they did it
to themselves.

What, like suicide?

Yeah.

Henry.

Do you remember me?

[Sighs]

Do you want to get
something to eat?

I knew your mother.

We did that logging protest
in '84 together.

She used to bring you
to the rallies...

but you were littler then.

Your mother was a good one,
she was.

And what happened
to you two...

awful...

just awful.

I don't know
about you, Henry...

[Sighs]

But I believe that everything
happens for a reason...

like you and me meeting here.

I went for a walk
this morning,

and I saw something,

and I realized it's not us
that's the problem.

It's this place.

This town is cursed.
You think about it.

What happened to you,
your mother, the flood,

this lunatic running around
eating women's stomachs.

[scoffs]

Only in an ungodly place
like this could you and I exist.

You know that flood
in the Bible?

Noah built that boat, right?

That was a reckoning.

All the people had become
so wicked that God decided

He was gonna wipe everybody out
with a great flood,

and that is exactly
what happened here 29 years ago.

They should have just left
this place underwater.

Caldwell and everybody in it
is just wicked.

Somebody needs to do
something about it.

Rowan?

[footsteps approaching]

Tommy, look what I made
at day camp.

Hey.
lt's--

It's a suncatcher.

It's beautiful, sweetie.

I'm gonna hang it
in my room.

You should.

Okay, bug, get washed up.

Get ready for dinner.

I need your help
with something.

So asters or dog violets?

Uh, hmm.

I'm--l'm sorry.

What are we talking about?

The wedding.
Hello.

The florist needs
to put in the order.

Okay.

Those.

Good choice.

Wow. It looks
really expensive.

How could he afford it?

You said
he was a musician, right?

Simon plays a lot
of shows.

That's how we met.

His band was playing in Seattle
at the Paramount.

Why did you guys break up?

He sounds amazing.

He went on tour.

It was probably
for the best.

Older guys
can be so controlling.

I was kind of over it.

How old is he?

- 24.
- Ooh.

Who's 24?

Alice's ex.

Ooh.

So what's going on
with Lena?

She isn't answering
any of my texts.

She's been sick.

Is she all right?

I don't really want
to talk about Lena right now.

I'm here to drink.

- Yeah, you are.
- That we can do.

I had to slip Janelle
an extra 20

to serve you without ID.

Just don't puke in the bathroom,
and you're golden.

Sounds good.

All right, everybody
choose a weapon.

All right, ready?

Drumroll, please.

- [all drumming]
- One, two, three, four!

Mm.

[Hunter]
Ah!

Whoo!

- Mm-hmm.
- Round two?

Okay.

Time for the final round.

- Face off.
- Dear God.

Who's it gonna be?
Hmm?

[Sara]
Mm, no.

[Hunter]
Hmm?

Well, I'll do it.

[Hunter]
Okay, then.

What about you, Lowry?
Hmm, you gonna represent?

Flaughsl

All right.

You first, new girl.

All right. Okay.

One, two, three, four shots.

Why?

[Hunter]
You ready?

All right.
[drumming fingers]

One.

- There she is.
- Barn.

[Sara]
Wow.

[Hunter]
Two. Two!

Two!
Oh, yeah.

[Abby]
One more. Come on.

There you go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Three?

[squeals]

Oh, she's still--
still going.

Foufl
It's in her veins!

What a legend.

What do you got, Lowry?
What do you got?

You got this.
You got this, Ben.

Can't let new girl
show you up.

- All right. Come on.
- Ready?

[laughter]

- One.
- [drumming fingers]

[Hunter]
One.

[Sara]
Oh, come on. Down it.

- Oh!
- [laughter]

[Hunter]
Oh, man, Alice wins.

[women cheer]

What do I win?

The champ gets to make
the loser do

whatever they want
as punishment.

Whatever I want?

Yes, anything at all.

All right.

Uh...

Oh.

[Hunter]
Okay,

[laughter]

Well, then.

[heart monitor beeping]

[Hunter]
Oh. Wow.

Oh, Yes.

[Abby]
Yeah, that's...

[laughter]

Hello, Henry.

[Janelle] Tony, I need you
to change out that keg.

I'll be right there.

[indistinct chatter]

[Ben]
Lena?

Whoa, hey, what the hell?

Shut up.

Are you all blind?

Can't you see who this is?

- Lena.
- Don't touch me.

Lena, please don't.

Why not?

They should all know.

You want to hang out
with them so badly.

Tell them who you are.

What is she talking
about, Alice?

She's Camille, you idiot.

She's not my cousin.
She's my sister.

Lena, you're not making
any sense.

You shouldn't be
out of the hospital.

Why don't you tell them
why I was in the hospital?

Tell them.

She did this to me.

She wants me dead
like her.

You're on a lot of medication.
You're not thinking clearly.

[Camille]
Lena!

[breathing heavily]

Lena?

Lena?

Lena!

Lena!

[grunts]

[footsteps approaching]
