[Eli] I know you're scared...
and you don't know what's happening.
But I think we have memories inside us that were asleep
and now they're waking up.
[muttering]
- [static on radio] - [Jane] Eli? Eli, can you hear me?
Eli, it's Jane-- Jane Wilkinson. I need you to answer me.
Goddamn it, Eli. Pick up the fucking walkie right now.
I'm here, Jane. Now, listen--
Okay. Whatever you're gonna say, I don't want to hear it.
Turn the van around.
I can't do that, Jane.
Yes, you can, Eli.
Eli, I understand that you're upset.
Of course I'm upset.
You just don't understand what's going on here.
Then explain it to me.
Explain to me how you kidnapping a patient is gonna help anybody.
[Eli] Okay.
I believe that Noah suffered a serious trauma a long time ago,
- a trauma that he doesn't understand. - [muttering]
And you know what happens with unresolved trauma.
We carry it with us in our blood, in our bones
and maybe even in our souls.
Now you listen to me. If you turn the van around right now--
No. No, I can't do that, Jane.
Radical exposure therapy is the only option left.
You know that therapy is dangerous.
It's his only chance. And I'm hanging up now.
Don't you dare hang up on me, Eli. I--
[muttering]
[grunts]
[groans]
[gasps]
N-Noah...
Do you recognize this place?
Something bad happened here.
When... [sighs]
When, what?
Wh-- When I
was a little girl.
[breathing heavily]
Wait.
Hold my hand.
[thunder rumbling]
[house creaks, rumbles]
[creaking]
[door creaks, slams]
- [Eli whispering] Stay close. - [wind whistling]
[hissing, rumbling]
Hello?
[rumbling continues]
Hello?
[creature hisses, chitters]
[breathes shakily]
[hissing]
[voices whispering indistinctly]
[hissing, rumbling]
[Eli breathing heavily]
Noah. I--
Noah?
- [hisses] - Noah, put that down.
[breathing heavily] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Noah, it's okay. It's just me.
- It's just Eli. - No. No, no, no, no.
[whimpering] No.
Don't do it.
Don't do what?
- [grunts] - Noah!
[creaking]
Noah?
- [footsteps running] - [creaking]
[footsteps running]
Noah?
[footsteps running]
What the fuck?
[voices whispering, overlapping] What did you do? What have you done?
- Noah? - What have you done?
[voices whispering, overlapping]
What have you done?
- [panting] - [footsteps running]
Shit.
Noah! [panting]
[faucet dripping]
[breathing heavily]

[children laughing]
[child speaking Dutch]
[Noah, echoing] That's me.
[Eli] Noah.
[Noah, echoing] That's you.
I've been here.
I remember this.
Come on. We have to find our friend.
[echoing]
Noah, wait! Come back.
Noah.
Noah!
[Eli] Something bad happened to Noah, a long time ago at a farmhouse.
[Noah, echoing] Come on. We have to find our friend.
[voices overlapping] We have to find our friend.
[seagulls squawking]
Lynn?
[Noah giggling]
[breathes deeply]
I found you.
You always find me.
I've been waiting for you.
[Noah, echoing] Look what I found.
[gasping]
[clattering]
[groans, grunts]
[clattering]
[bees buzzing]
What is that?
[Noah] Mmm.
[clattering continues]
[children scream]
[buzzing continues]
[Noah grunts, whimpers]
[panting] No, no, no.
[ice cracking]
[echoing] Jump!
[breathing heavily]
[breathing heavily] I remember.
I pushed you, and you drowned.
Noah? Noah.
Oh, no.
Noah. [breathing shakily]
Noah?
[nails scratching]
[scratching continues]
Noah.
Noah, it's okay.
I know what you're afraid of.
I know what happened.
Noah, it was an accident, a terrible accident.
We were just kids.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
[inhales sharply] Noah?
[faucet dripping]
Noah?
[Noah breathing shakily]
Noah, can you hear me?
[breathing shakily, muttering]
Noah?
[breathing shakily]
Noah?
[breathing shakily]
[wheezing]
[grunting, wheezing]
Noah, what do I do?
[grunting, wheezing continues]
What do you need me to do?
Jump! Jump! [echoing]
[panting]
[wheezing, gasping]
[Lynn] Once upon a time,
there was a little boy who was afraid of the water.
[distorted] Eli.
- [normal] Eli, wake up. - [gasping]
We need to talk.
- Have you been throwing up again? - No, no, no. It's not that. [panting]
I-- I can't do this anymore.
[breathes shakily, swallows]
Oh, Lynn, listen. I know this has been horrible...
- Mmm. - ...but there are new trials, new studies,
- new drugs coming every day. - No. You have to listen to me.
- I will find some-- - I'm done.
I'm not giving up on you, Lynn.
Well, that's... that... that's not your decision to make.
[Lynn, echoing] Eli! Eli!
[normal] Every time I try to talk about this--
- [Eli] There is nothing to talk about. - How can you say that?
We have to face this.
No, we have to stay positive. What is with this stupid machine?
- Why-- - J-Just stop.
- [machine beeps] - [sighs]
I can't keep trying to have
the same conversation with you over and over and over again.
I don't wanna have this conversation at all.
This isn't about what you want.
Eli, wait.
Wait, you're... you're leaving?
Yeah. I won't be long.
I'll bring you your soup.
[door closes]
[breathing shakily]
[server, distorted] Egg drop soup?
- Egg drop soup? - [mouthing] Oh.
Thank you.
[lock clicks]
[door creaks]
I'm back.
Lynn?
[dripping]
[Larry panting]
[water running]
[dripping continues]
[door opens]
[breathes sharply] All right, Lynn. It's okay. I'll get an ambulance.
- We'll get you out of here. [stammers] - N-No, no, no, no. I-I don't--
I don't want that. [breathes heavily]
[breathing heavily, grunting]
[breathing heavily]
No, no, no, no, no.
I can't say goodbye to you.
- No. [whimpers] No. No. - Please, Eli. Don't-- Don't leave.
Don't leave me, please. Please.
Stay, Eli. [breathes shakily]
- [Eli sobs] No. - Help me.
Here. Eli, help me.
Help me.
- Help me. - [sighing]
- Help me. - [mouthing] I love you.
[breathing shakily]
[sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
[sniffles]
[breathing heavily]
[breathing heavily, sobbing]
[sobbing]
[Lynn, echoing] Eli, wake up.
[Eli groans]
[groans, sighs]
[panting]
[panting] Come on, breathe.
Come on, Noah. Breathe.
Breathe.
No, no, no.
Breathe. Breathe!
[breathing deeply]
Breathe.
- [groans, coughing] - [grunts] Okay.
- [retches, coughing] - Okay.
- Okay. All right. - [breathing heavily]

Okay. [grunts] All right.
- [coughs, breathing heavily] - Okay.
- You're okay. You're okay. You're okay. - [coughing]
- You're okay. - [sighs]
What happened?
You don't remember?
All right. You're a little cold. Yeah. But that's normal.
That's from the water. Yeah. We took a little swim.
Yuck.
[giggles]
[chuckling]
Oh. Oh.
[sighing]
[sirens wailing]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
Am I in trouble?
Did I do something bad?
No, absolutely not.
You didn't do anything.
All right, Noah, listen to me. You've been very brave.
I have?
- [car door opens] - Oh, yeah.
And I'm proud of you.
Always remember that.
[Denise] Noah! Noah!
Noah! Baby! [pants]
[sighs, sniffles]
Are you okay? Are you okay?
[Jane] You okay? Can you talk to us?
Are you hurt?
Can we go home now?
Yes. Yes, we can go home.
[sighs]
[sniffles] Come on.
[birds chirping]
[Larry panting, whines]
- Hey. Hello. - [Larry panting]
[chuckles, sighs]
Okay.
- [grunting] Come on. [laughs] - [panting]
- Oh. [sighs] - [panting continues]
Yeah, I know. I'm all excited too.
- ["What a Wonderful World" playing] - [sighs]
- [Eli] Regarding case 423... - [sighs]
...a study of acute transference-countertransference,
in which patient A, an eight-year-old boy, and patient B, the treating physician,
engaged in a shared delusion.
Remarkable for its detailed past life experiences
as well as for its psychotic aspects.
See subheading "Worm Hallucinations."
[sighs]
- At the six-month follow-up... - [children chattering]
...patient A engages at age-appropriate levels
with both peers and environment...
and appears unaffected by the court-ordered distance
between himself and patient B.
Having completed five months of residential psychiatric treatment,
patient B was released on his own recognizance.
[speaking indistinctly]
In his exit interview,
he acknowledged psychological factors at play in patient A's recovery,
as well as in his own delusions,
which can be attributed in part to grief-induced projections
caused by the suicide of his wife.
But he privately insists that if what transpired was science,
it's a science we don't yet understand.
And he states that
if we ought to acknowledge the possibility of an afterlife, i.e., an after...
then we must also be open to the possibility of a before.
[worm chittering]
[chittering continues]
He also asserts, again, totally off-the-record...
that once the box of the universe's mysteries has been opened,
you'll never get that damn thing shut again.
[Sophie] Grandpa!
[blade clatters]
[chuckling] Hey.
From Gran.
Oh.
Well, tell her I said thank you.
He says thank you.
What is she saying?
She says, "Listen."
