Try not to try.
Be like the sky.
Damn it.
Hi.
Help me, please.
Good luck.
Becca. Becca.
Sister.
Please.
Come on.
- Breakfast. - I'm not hungry.
Hey.
No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Becca...
I'm stuck here.
I need you. I'm sorry.
Becca?
Ich darf az dee zolst mich gefinen.
Geraldine?
You again.
Stop following me.
What?
Alma.
I'm your granddaughter.
I don't care who you are.
I won't let you take me down.
Hey, listen, I-I'm not who you think I am.
Get away from me.
What's going on?
Nothing. Everything's fine.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Everything good.
If I get extended because of you...
No, don't worry. I'm here to help.
Well, at least I think I am.
I don't know exactly why I'm here now.
My sister opened up this time for me to come to you.
But I was actually trying to get to a different time later.
- Right. - Well, later for you.
Like, 30 years later when you say to my mom
not to adopt her son.
You don't know why you say that.
Would say that.
- Will say that? - Listen.
I have three young boys who need me.
I cannot get stuck here.
- Do you understand? - Oh, my God.
We're supposed to do this together.
- Do what together? - Go to your future.
And stop your future self from telling
my mom not to adopt Alejandro.
No, I-I-I can't do anything like that.
Oh, sure you can. I mean...
I know your abilities weren't properly developed.
- I don't have abilities. - It's okay.
I got abilities, my sister has abilities.
- My dad had abil... - No.
I stopped all of that.
What?
What did you stop?
Did she send you here?
- Did she get to you somehow? - Who?
What are you talking about?
What did you stop? Did something happen
- to your abilities? - Stop pestering me.
Okay.
Let's see what you made. Geraldine?
I made this circle.
And it's all the parts of me.
You keep making those. I saw them in my dad's office.
No, I've never made anything like this before.
Maybe not yet, but-but you will. You-you do.
What about the other piece?
Oh.
Uh...
That... is...
for my children.
Who I miss.
I see.
What else could it be?
Maybe it's something you're trying to forget or hiding.
Someone else's turn.
Maybe that's why you told my mom not to adopt her son.
I don't know what she's talking about.
And she won't stop harassing me.
No, I'm not harassing you.
- I'm trying to help. - Leave me alone.
Come on, man.
Guy. Guy. Come on.
Damn it.
Mama.
Ah, Jacob.
My boys.
I made you something.
Oh, my goodness.
It's beautiful.
It's a bracelet. It has special powers
to make you feel happy so you don't have
to ever come back here.
I love it.
I always knew you'd save me.
Okay.
Who wants to go outside and look
- for lizards?
Let's do it.
Come on, come on.
Why are you playing that?
Are you asking because you heard it in a dream?
How do you know that?
It's also an ancient Nahua song.
A shaman once sang it to me on a pyramid in Mexico.
What does it mean?
Maybe something.
Maybe nothing.
I don't know.
If you're trying to get to me, it's not going to work.
I'm playing it for my sister.
We made up lyrics with our dad when we were kids.
I'm hoping she'll hear me
across time and space...
and get me the fuck out of this place.
I'm not crazy.
I don't belong here.
Neither do I.
I'm just trying to help my family.
Even though it seems like they don't really want it.
Will you teach me your song?
That you made up with your sister?
Um, sure.
It goes like this.
Becca.
- Alma?
Oh, my God. We did it.
We're doing it. Becca, this is Geraldine.
- This is our grandmother. - Geraldine?
- Look what we can do together. - No. This isn't happening.
I didn't...
- I'm not... - No, wait.
Fuck.
Okay, first of all,
the time you sent me to was the wrong year.
- And I forgive you. - Thanks.
But I still found Geraldine.
Listen, in her past, there is something
that made her tell Mom not to adopt Alejandro.
Maybe if we go back to that day...
Come on, why can't we just go find Mom and Dad
and work things out between us, in this time?
Right here. Right now.
I made a mistake.
I'm sorry.
I lied about Alejandro because I thought it was
the best thing for our family.
I was wrong. I don't know what you want me to say.
You can say more than that. Why didn't you trust me?
There were times I tried to tell you.
But it would mean reliving all my pain.
- And you didn't seem interested. - You're right.
I knew something was wrong, but I didn't want to upend
everything, so I ignored it. I shouldn't have.
Can we stop talking about this?
My chest feels like a broken window.
I don't want you to be in pain, but I don't think
not talking about it is the answer.
You have no idea what it's like
to live with something heavy like this.
No!
I think I can... imagine what that's like.
Look, I just want to fix everything,
so we can move forward.
Some things are too broken to fix.
That can't be true.
Jacob...
if we're honest...
this marriage was over a long time ago.
And let's be honest, huh?
I'm going to stay with my mother.
I need to clear my mind.
Who's that?
Reed.
Is that what you call dealing with things
"right here, right now"?
I just don't know what to say to him.
Why don't you just change reality,
and you never have to know Reed?
- Stop it. - Becca.
- I... - No. Let's just go.
Where have you two been?
Where's Mom?
She went to stay with her mother.
I think our marriage might be over.
I'm booking flights home.
Jesus Christ, Alma. You're ruining our family.
- There's still a way to fix all this. - When's the next flight?
- The soonest is, uh... - Listen, Dad.
I was just with your mom in the past.
And I saw you as a little boy.
You gave her this bracelet.
You said it was to protect her.
That was a long time ago.
I know you want to help your mom.
And she's definitely haunted by something.
Something involving her abilities.
Something that she wanted to forget.
Do you have any idea what that was?
She would never tell me about it.
Well, if we figure it out,
we can know why she said what she said to Mom.
And then if we can fix that, then we can...
Alma, this is like an insane rabbit hole that never ends.
You're making everything worse.
- Leave it alone. - Do you know exactly when
Geraldine told Mom not to adopt Alejandro?
I know she was pregnant with me,
but do you remember a particular day?
Maybe we can go there and find out what Geraldine said.
Maybe she told Mom what happened to her.
We're not doing this, Alma.
Okay, so we're not gonna do anything?
We're just gonna do nothing?
When we know what's possible?
You're speaking from a place of what's possible, Dad.
You wouldn't even be here if it weren't
- for what's possible. - Alma, enough.
No. I want to know.
What is possible? What did you change?
What is this other life
- you won't tell me about? - It doesn't matter.
Yes, it does.
She needs to know.
She needs to believe in the potential of this.
- Tell her. - Tell me, Dad.
Please.
It'll change the way you see me.
No, it won't. It won't, I promise.
Remember...
the car.
When I was in the car
driving towards the edge of that cliff?
It was your fears.
Something about your fears?
No.
No, it was real.
That was another life, the one that Alma and I changed.
I had lost my mind
researching these abilities.
And I was in that car...
...with my assistant Farnaz.
I took my life and hers.
I can't believe that.
Well, it's true.
We were just kids when it happened.
We had to grow up without Dad.
But I can't imagine
my life without you in it.
And I love this life, too.
And I want to keep it.
We have to do this.
Yeah, we do.
You know, it doesn't always work out the way you want.
- What do we have to lose? - Our minds.
Our relationships. This good life.
You could help your mom.
You could heal your marriage.
Alejandro could be our brother from the beginning.
Come on. We'll be fine.
The three of us together?
We're unstoppable.
Okay, we can try.
There was a time
that I remembered recently.
It was the last time that your mom visited my mom.
And when I picked her up, something was off.
She was rattled.
And that was the last time
she visited my mom on her own.
Geraldine.
You're here.
Good news, Jacob.
The doctor says I should be able to go home soon.
Sure, Mom. Listen, I just stopped in real quick.
I have to get into work.
- Just wanted to say hi. - I'm glad you did.
And I'm especially glad you brought Camila.
- Look at that belly. - Oh, oh.
You won't believe how much she's kicking today.
This one is going to be a handful.
- I brought lunch.
Oh, wonderful.
All right, well, I'd better get back to work.
Love you, Mom. Love you, hon.
Why didn't you stay?
She sees us.
Hey, Mom.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
- Fine. - Okay.
I didn't realize they were so close.
They were... for a while.
They hit it off the first time they met.
My mom saw herself in Camila.
A young immigrant making a new life.
Your mom was estranged from her family.
And my mom had no family.
So they took care of each other.
So your dad just left her there?
He couldn't handle her breaks.
And my brothers couldn't handle the shame of having
a mentally ill mother, so they ignored her.
Even I got busy building my career,
researching ways to help her.
Camila was the only one who spent time
with Mom regularly.
They became like mother and daughter.
And Camila really needed a mother who approved of her.
Sure, after her own mother rejected her.
Is something on your mind?
I'm afraid to ask, but...
...do you think Jacob would be okay
with adopting a child?
This is the moment.
You're having a child.
I know.
But... another one.
What do you mean?
I had a son.
Years ago.
And I-I couldn't tell my mother.
I couldn't tell anyone.
Where is he?
In an orphanage in México.
There's a chance a good family could adopt him.
But I would like to.
I... I don't know.
- I have a photo I can show you. - Oh. Oh.
Like you said, a, uh...
a good family could adopt him.
And you're about to start your own family.
A new life.
We both know how hard that is.
I think it's better
if you leave him.
I just thought, since I'm starting a family,
he could join it.
This baby is a blessing.
She will brighten your future.
But you have to let your past go.
That was a different you.
Forget her,
forget everything she did,
and allow yourself to start this new life.
I speak from experience, Camila.
It's best to forget it.
Move on.
Oh. Wow.
She's dancing on my bladder.
Excuse me.
Hey, Mom, can I sit with you?
I know you're not really here.
Yeah.
That's right.
I'm sorry I got it wrong.
What did you get wrong?
I should have just been here with you.
Instead of trying to solve you
like a problem.
It's okay, Jacob.
You're a good boy.
You did fine.
Mom, could you do me a favor?
Would you tell Camila that it's okay
for her to adopt her son?
No.
I can't do that.
I'm helping her.
It's for you, too.
But it doesn't help her.
Or me.
It's not really good for anyone.
Especially the kid.
It's better to leave it.
What happened to you, Mom?
What are you running from?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Grandma Geraldine?
You again.
What's this smaller piece?
This thing you don't want to look at?
It's nothing.
It's just something
I make when I'm not thinking.
What just happened?
We're inside the collage.
I was accessing her memory.
Well, I think this might be deeper than memory.
- Oh, my God. - What is it?
Oh, my God.
What is it?
It's Alma's door.
It, it must be a memory of Geraldine's.
The memory she doesn't want to access.
The memory she wants to forget.
This is where we've been heading all along.
That's not Alejandro.
The child I've been hearing.
That must be Geraldine when she was little.
- Geraldine? - Hold on.
Geraldine wasn't her name when she was little.
Ruchel.
We're here to help.
Can you open this door?
