"You're working for the guy who held us captive over the egg." "Pauline:" "Now that we're back, whatever's gonnahappen,we needlyle." "The dome's contracting." "You mean, it's shrinking?" "Joe:" "I don't know why, but it keeps starting and stopping." "At least the dome stopped spinning" "And inverting the atmosphere." "That's why the temperature's warmed up." "Yeah, but now it's shrinking." "First, that earthquake struck," "Then it got super-cold in here, and now this." "Do you think the dome could be evolving?" "And into what?" "I d..." "I don't know." "Joe:" "Why is it moving again?" "Look, I will figure it out, okay?" "In the meantime, spread the word" "To get people to the center of town." "Use walkies, go to their houses." "Just get them there-- now." "To everything there is a season," "And a time to every purpose under the heaven" "A time to be born, a time to die;" "A time to plant," "A time to pluck that which... (droning) ...Is planted." "Thank god it's warming up again." "Well, whatever happens, we'll get through it together," "If that's what you want." "Pauline:" "Did you hear that?" "Yeah." "Can't be the egg, though." "Right?" "No, it's something else." "(droning)" "Lyle." "You should be resting after everything you've been through." "You hear that?" "I think we're all gonna be resting pretty soon." "Did jim tell you about what I saw?" "A fresh vision of hell on my way back here." "Yeah, he did." "You've been through a lot." "Which is all the more reason for you to rest." "There's a cot down this hallway." "Come on." "I'll..." "I'll follow you anywhere, pauline." "Hi." "Hey." "You're awake." "It's good to see you, too." "How do you feel?" "Better." "I think." "It seems warmer." "Cold snap's over." "But?" "James, I can tell something else is wrong." "I think the dome is closing in around us." "What?" "We're gonna figure out how to stop it." "And we'll find out how to get you better." "Actually, I..." "I think I know" "Where I might be able to get some answers." "Go." "I'll be fine." "I'll send someone to sit with you." "Joe (over walkie):" "Barbie, you seeing this?" "All right?" "You'll be safe there." "Yeah, joe, I-I see what's happening with the dome," "All right?" "I'm just helping people out of their homes." "Let's regroup back at the school." "I'll talk to you soon." "You should take that." "He was your husband." "That was my old life." "Can you, uh, pass me pauline's journal?" "Just there." "(droning)" "The dome has taken so much from all of us." "Now this." "All that matters is that we survive." "And we're going to." "We're gonna give it our damndest." "Let's go." "Oh, my god, it's close." "Okay, let's go this way." "Let's go!" "Did I hear that the dome is contracting?" "Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes." "How fast is it moving?" "I'm still doing the calculations, jim." "So, just do what you do best, keep people calm, and..." "Hey." "Welcome to our new nightmare." "I figured out that at its present rate" "It won't be long before the dome..." "Crushes us completely?" "Here, I'll take that." "Thanks." "The way every house, tree and square foot of dirt" "Is gonna pile up inside here," "We'll be dead long before the walls get to us." "I just can't believe that." "Big jim threw the egg off the cliff," "I'd say that proves it's the dome's power source." "No, I mean, that the dome would kill us all." "Oh, because the dome told you it's here to protect us, right?" "You think I imagined that?" "I don't know." "It would be nice to have some proof." "Look, I appreciate what you do, all right?" "But maybe with everything that we've seen," "You could admit there's more going on here." "Okay, I'm d..." "Barbie:" "N-n" "Now's not the time to debate this." "All right?" "Okay, you're right." "Excuse me." "Let's help everybody settle in." "Norrie:" "Barbie, julia!" "I'm glad you guys are safe." "I'm not so sure." "What do you mean?" "Hunter, here, has something he would like to confess." "Isn't that right, hunter?" "Look, when I came back from zenith with you, I was..." "I was secretly working for your dad." "What?" "Hunter:" "He blackmailed me into spying on you" "To find a way to get the egg to zenith." "Which I never got to do, because big jim tossed it first." "Look, I am on your side, I swear!" "Hunter stopped that military guy outside the dome" "From doing experiments on the egg," "Because he knew it was hurting melanie." "There's gonna be a lot more people hurt" "If we don't find a way to stop these wall from shrinking." "Barbie, I'm really sorry!" "You don't get to talk!" "You two go help out." "You going somewhere?" "I said-- go help out." "Okay." "Fine." "You good?" "I'll keep an eye on melanie." "What are you doing?" "Shut up and walk." "Let's go." "Ben?" "Hey." "You okay?" "It's over, norrie." "No, it's not." "I just saw the guy who owned the hardware store" "Get his car crushed when the dome smashed into it." "Is he okay?" "He's dead." "Before too long, we're all gonna be dead, too." "No, we're not" "Because we're gonna find a way out of here somehow, someway." "We are not gonna die in here." "You know how I know it's all over?" "How?" "About how much she hates this place is now telling me" "Everything's gonna be okay." "Norrie, let's go." "Why?" "I saw barbie leading hunter away from the school." "Where are they going?" "I don't know, that's why we have to follow them." "Well, whatever they're up to," "Barbie obviously didn't want us coming along." "But if it's barbie, he's probably got a plan" "To stop what's happening." "Don't you want to see what he's up to?" "But why do we have to go home?" "Because maybe one of your old paintings shows us" "How we can stop the dome from contracting." "I mean, it showed it coming down." "Go, have a look, but I could be of more use here." "What, comforting lyle?" "Is that what this is about?" "His his was pretty soft to begin with." "Are you sorry you saved him from drowning?" "No, I mean, you wanted him here, and, you know, I did it for you." "(scoffs) that's a new one." "That night at the senior dance, when lyle got drunk" "And dragged me onto the dance floor, you said" "The last place I should be is anywhere near him." "Still took you six months to dump him." "But I did..." "Eventually." "So, let's go solve this together." "¶ ¶" "It's about melanie." "Is she better?" "She tries to act like it, but I'm still worried." "None of your business." "I need to talk to you in pri..." "N-n-n-no, who is melanie?" "You've seen her around-- melanie cross." "Melanie cross, wasn't that a friend of yours?" "Yeah." "Didn't she go missing 25 years ago?" "She died." "She died?" "W-wh..." "How's she back?" "The dome, it..." "Jim, it's true-- melanie cross is alive again." "Except this time, she's really sick." "When we came back into chester's mill," "I had a vision of melanie in the crater." "She looked..." "Odd." "Like she was sick?" "Maybe, but when I took her hand, she seemed better." "Okay, then what happened?" "Then I surfaced in the lake." "You have to try to get that vision back and paint her." "James." "If you paint her all healed, then I know she's not gonna die." "My visions stopped when the egg left chester's mill." "Please try!" "James, I would do anything  for you, I came back for you." "But my visions are gone." "I don't know if I can get them back." "Now melanie is dying because you screwed up," "And threw that egg over the cliff." "I only did that to try to get you and your mom out of here." "Look at the mess you've made." "Have you found anything to help her, yet?" "You sound doubtful that I will." "Nothing would make me happier, rebecca." "But in the meantime, you'd like to try what, exactly, a séance?" "Is that really what you think I believe?" "No." "We both want what's best for her and this town." "But while you're busy asking why the dome would betray us," "I'm asking how do we stop it before it kills us all." "Have you ever considered" "It might take both questions to save us?" "Have you ever considered it might not?" "(coughing) melanie?" "Melanie?" "Julia:" "Melanie?" "Oh, what is going on?" "I don't know." "She doesn't have a fever, so I doubt it's an infection." "Her body's falling apart." "Something must be happening with the egg." "And it's killing her." "It could be a bunch of things" "Poisoning, autoimmune deficiency..." "Is that why her hair is falling out?" "Maybe." "Any other symptoms?" "When the egg disappeared, her health went downhill." "How's her blood look?" "Same way she does." "Her red blood cells seem to be disintegrating." "A transfusion might buy her some time." "Yeah, except if we give her the wrong type, it'll kill her." "Well, that's a risk we have to take." "We don't have the equipment to type blood." "Lima beans." "Come again?" "The lectins in lima beans," "They react to the surface of red blood cells." "If we mash them up, mix them with the blood," "We can determine blood type." "Let's just hope she responds to a transfusion." "Why wouldn't she?" "Has anyone told you about this girl?" "What about her?" "It's a weird story." "Come on, I'd bet andrea has lima beans at her house." "Oh, god." "She is worse." "We're doing everything we can." "Me, too." "Uh, do you know where my mom's journal is?" "It's in that box." "Why?" "James?" "I can't believe we lucked out like this." "Thank god for hoarders, right?" "Right." "So, you want to tell me this weird story about melanie?" "Which part?" "How she was my high school girlfriend?" "Or how she died 25 years ago, but is now alive again?" "Excuse me?" "You asked." "Sam, people don't die and come back to life." "I mean, they can be medically resuscitated," "But not after two decades." "And yet, here she is." "And that is the girl I knew." "Your sister faked her own death," "I-I don't know, maybe melanie somehow..." "Rebecca, I saw her die." "And I know death when I see it." "Why the stupid grin, lyle?" "I see you have an eye now for your mother's artwork." "The real question is why she ever had eyes for you." "Your mother saw that she needed someone to nurture her gifts," "Not doubt them." "And you're that someone?" "Well, it wasn't your dad." "She sent me those postcards from the last nine years." "You know why?" "Because she trusted me to understand them." "You want me to do the same thing for you?" "To make up for hitting you with the fire poker," "And for stealing the journal." "Okay." "Find something in here that might help melanie." "Junior:" "That's you and sam, my mom and melanie, right?" "On our way to the crater, 25 years ago." "That's the night melanie died." "That's not gonna happen again." "If only you knew what I know." "Junior, we're all gonna die inside this thing." "Just focus on the drawings." "I am not seeing anything." "Are you sure?" "You didn't paint a vision of a..." "Of a new tunnel, or a..." "Or a hole in the dome somewhere?" "If I had, we would have found it by now." "Listen, we are not gonna get crushed in this dome 'cause I screwed up and threw that egg over." "There's got to be something here." "Sam:" "You okay?" "Rebecca:" "Mm-hmm." "Yeah, just glad I'm the right blood type." "All right." "Give me a shout if you need anything." "Thanks." "What's going on?" "Um, we're transfusing you." "I'm gonna find out why you're sick." "Not knowing makes you mad, huh?" "A little." "My mom used to kiss my forehead when she took my temperature." "Did your mom do that?" "I don't remember." "She died when I was eight." "I'm sorry." "I wanted a reason." "Someone to tell me why she was taken from me." "Maybe some questions have no answers." "You sound like julia." "Is that such a bad thing?" "There's a better thing, melanie" "Knowing." "People have always wondered about the world." "Why the sun rises and sets." "Why spring turns to summer and then autumn." "Why loved ones get sick." "How to make them better." "You know, knowing the answers doesn't take away the wonder," "It actually makes it more amazing." "Then tell me why I'm dying." "'cause I'm not just sick, am I?" "I'm dying." "Listen." "All that matters" "Is, the first time I died," "I was all alone." "Now I have you." "And julia." "And my brother." "It was worth coming back" "Just for that." "It's stopping again." "(leaves rustling)" "Hey, your plan worked." "We need the egg back..." "Now!" "Son, you know I'd do anything to help." "But I can't make that happen." "All right, well then your son and your daughter die in here." "Melanie disappeared years ago." "No." "She is alive." "Inhere." "Withus." "No, that can't be possible." "Joe!" "Norrie!" "Get your asses out here!" "How'd you know we were following you?" "Yeah, because stealth is not your strong suit." "Hey, listen." "I need to convince my dad about melanie, okay?" "So, do you have any photos, or..." "I've got something better-- a vlog." "Joe:" "As the newest arrival yeah, show him." "In chester's mill," "How do you like it so far?" "Everyone's so sad." "Yeah." "Joe:" "I guess there was no dome last time you lived here." "Is there something I can do to help?" "Don:" "That's enough." "How?" "Because that egg brought her back." "Without that here in chester's mill, she dies," "And all of us die, too." "It's starting again." "Barbie, he isn't" "Getting it." "Tell him it's more" "Than just a thing-- it's alive somehow." "It knows us." "Barbie, the egg is upset being out there." "If he gives it back," "This could be our way out..." "O-okay, I-I got..." "Get out of here." "Go!" "(typing)" "Is this smart?" "He could bring his whole army through with him." "Well, we take that risk or we get crushed to death in here." "Tell him to go through the red door" "Of that root cellar at his house." "Be careful." "The lake's where we came through from zenith." "Someone should be there when he shows up." "Look, it's stopping." "You're not going anywhere." "Fine." "You guys go get a walkie then head on out to the lake," "But actually hide this time, all right?" "You stay out of sight." "When my dad shows up, you radio me." "Go." "Will do." "Think your dad will really go get that egg?" "The dome'll let us know." "Julia." "Hey." "The dome stopped contracting." "What?" "I met with my dad" "And I convinced him to get that egg back to us." "Literally, soon as he left," "Maybe the dome must have wanted the egg back, too." "When it saw your dad was gonna make that happen," "It gave us a sign." "I can't say" "For sure, but I don't know how else to explain it." "Guys, come here, quick." "Melanie." "Hi." "Hey," "How you feeling?" "Like myself again." "The transfusion" "Worked." "Well, that, and we're also" "Getting that egg back." "That's why I'm getting better." "I guess when it's okay, you're okay." "Listen..." "The transfusion only buys us some time." "She's still very sick." "Well, whatever it is, she's a hell of a lot better right now" "Than she was." "All right?" "That's all that matters to me." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Can anyone hear me?" "All the batteries in these walkies are dead." "Ones over here are, too." "Barbie, can you read me?" "Yeah, norrie, I read you." "Great," "Just checking." "We'll radio you when your dad gets here." "Roger that." "All right, we got one." "We're good to go." "We sure are." "What is that?" "It's a gun." "Yes, joe," "I'm aware it's a gun." "But what are you doing with it?" "We're taking it with us." "No, you're gonna put that down." "Relax, I checked." "It's not even loaded." "Yeah, and it's not going to be," "Because you're gonna put it back in that drawer," "Find the key and lock it the hell up." "Norrie." "Joe, the one and only time you have ever held a gun" "You almost shot melanie in the face." "Okay, in other words, I didn't." "It's not" "Coming with us." "Barbie thinks his dad could be" "Dangerous." "Hunter does, too." "We need it for protection" "In case he tries anything when he gets here." "You want protection?" "Just get behind me." "Plus, if don barbara does show up with the egg, it's gonna be" "Because he wants to help us, not hurt us." "All right." "Let's go." "We've been through, not after the dome brought you back to me" "And junior." "I wish I could see" "Anything to get us out of here." "What if I can help?" "You can't fix me." "It's like I'm drowning." "I'm looking for shore" "And all I see is darkness." "Okay, you can't see, but..." "But can you feel?" "Yes." "I feel." "(sighs)" "I feel alone." "Ashamed." "Of me?" "No." "Of me." "Ashamed for letting melanie die all those years ago." "Ashamed for losing faith in you." "Ashamed of leaving my family." "No, you didn't lose faith." "I'm the one who lost faith." "I didn't understand your gifts." "O-o-or that the dome had chosen us." "Now I do." "How can you be sure?" "Junior was chosen to bring you back to me." "The dome chose to save me before I could hang myself." "And it healed all those people" "As soon as it saw I was willing to sacrifice." "You were chosen to lead chester's mill." "And you were chosen to show me the way." "Look at that." "What do you see?" "Jim..." "No, what do you see?" "A blank canvas." "You know what I see?" "A fresh start." "So you forgive me?" "Yeah, I forgive you." "We've both made some pretty big mistakes." "How could you have known those paintings" "Would come to life?" "They were so crazy." "(chuckles):" "Yeah, they were." "No, that's the obelisk in zenith." "That doesn't have anything to do with melanie." "There's got to be something in here" "That shows melanie healthy." "Here, l-let me try and find something." "Is that me and melanie?" "She looks fine in that one." "Mm-mm." "No, the way I see it," "That's your mother and me entering heaven together." "Just like I always hoped." "Don't even say that." "You asked." "Sir, I know he's your son, but you need to rethink this." "My instincts have gotten us all this far." "You need to trust me, malick." "But you can't even touch it." "It's injured anyone that's even gotten near it." "Barbie:" "Joe," "Any sign of my dad yet?" "Not him, not the egg..." "Nothing." "All right." "Well, give it a little longer." "When you saw him, did he remember me?" "Yeah, a father doesn't forget his daughter." "I remember his face." "It was the day I met you." "He seemed sad, like he already knew." "He already knew what?" "That if we met," "We wouldn't want to say good-bye." "Well..." "This time, we won't have to." "Mr. Barbara, no." "Time to do what I need to do." "What the hell?" "Sir, that needs to remain here." "Tell 'em to back off, malick." "I take orders, just like you." "(gasping)" "Melanie?" "What's happening to me?" "Stay calm." "Sam?" "!" "I thought he promised to help." "All right, hang in there," "Melanie." "Sam?" "!" "What happened?" "She was having trouble breathing." "She just passed out." "Come on." "I know we've screwed up." "Over and over again." "But even with everything that's happened," "I still choose to believe you're trying to protect us." "I think that when you..." "Stopped moving, that was your way of giving all of us" "Another chance, so I need to ask you for one more thing." "Please help melanie." "She deserves to live." "Everyone in here does." "You said that I was chosen." "Well, if I was, then that has to be for something." "So if someone has to die, then let it be me." "Just please, don't take any more of them." "(droning)" "(liquid dripping)" "(knocking)" "Sorry." "How's it going?" "It started working." "A vision came through." "You painted two?" "No, just one." "Does it show me how to save the town?" "No, it's more what junior wanted." "You need to keep painting then." "I can't." "Well, what's it mean?" "I'm not sure, but I think it tells us how to save melanie." "The eight hands are to heal her?" "Now I know why I wanted sam and lyle to come back with me." "The eight hands-- four old, four new" "Working together to make her well again." "Yeah, but angle's dead, so there's only seven." "Who's the eighth?" "I don't know." "Doesn't matter." "The dome knows." "Besides, if you painted it, it must be true." "Where do we start?" "The school." "All right, let's go." "(clears his throat)" "(sighs)" "It's the first time I've seen you sit still." "How's melanie?" "She's back to the way she was." "I just don't get it, sam." "Why the transfusion didn't work?" "Why she got better, why she got sick again." "Most of all, who she even is." "Her coming back after all these years contradicts" "Every law of physics, biology." "That's-that's everything that I have ever believed in." "Science doesn't have every answer." "(sighs)" "Well, I just can't give up like you and julia." "It's not giving up." "It's letting go." "There's a difference." "Which is?" "Knowing there are things you don't know" "And still being okay with it." "You and I go face this uncertainty together?" "Guess that's an answer I'll have to accept, right?" "Big jim:" "Where's melanie?" "Sam:" "Why?" "I painted a vision." "It may show us how to save her." "And you're in on this?" "All that matters is you believe my wife." "If we can save melanie, we can save this town." "The dome is closing in again, this time, even faster." "So he didn't show up at the lake." "No, but pauline thinks there's a way to heal melanie." "Pauline wants us all together-- the old and new hands." "Can I go?" "You've come this far." "You ready to go?" "Yeah, just tell us when." "You're coming, too?" "Mm-hmm." "Wasn't sure anything this unscientific would interest you." "Well, if this is a way to heal melanie, I want to see it." "Maybe we can both be right, julia." "Is it true?" "The dome's contracting faster now?" "It's exactly why we need to hurry." "So, our dad didn't do what he promised." "(sighs)" "All that matters is what I promise." "We're gonna make you better." "You sure this'll help her?" "I'm only sure that we have to try." "No matter what happens today," "I love you, james." "Never forget that." "What do you mean?" "Years ago, I left you." "It was a mistake." "It's not gonna happen again." "I forgive you, mom, but why are you saying this?" "(footsteps approaching)" "Everything okay here?" "We're fine." "Let's get ready to head out." "And, james, please try to forgive him." "What the hell's he doing here?" "You know he's one of the original four." "It's a great day to do something wonderful." "Stay away from my family." "Pauline:" "When I came back to chester's mill," "I had a dream of seeing melanie in the center." "Put her there." "Hold on." "Put her here." "Hey." "Hey, you're gonna be fine." "So, what now?" "Pauline:" "I'm not exactly sure." "The painting was more symbolic." "Well, she's barely breathing." "Big jim:" "Barbie, let her do her thing." "All hands surround her." "Everyone kneel down." "Junior, you grab her hand." "Everyone else, get ready to lay a hand on her." "Okay, now." "(sighs)" "Nothing's happening." "Are we..." "Are we doing something wrong?" "Jim, maybe you're right." "We don't have enough hands without angle." "We have to heal her." "I'm sorry." "I'm trying." "Junior:" "Hey, what's happening to her?" "She's seizing." "Without all the eight hands." "We only have seven." "Wait." "We do have eight." "Melanie counts as two hands." "The girl she was in the past, and the girl she is now." "Replacing angle?" "She can't be two people at once." "The same person in two different times, past and present." "Quantum physics says an object..." "An object can be in two places at once." "Exactly." "So if melanie is the bridge between past and present," "The seventh and eighth hand..." "Someone take her other hand." "James, you're the hand from the present." "Sam, you dated her 25 years ago." "You do it." "Everyone else lay a hand on her again." "Is it working?" "Her seizures stopped." "Lyle:" "Hey!" "Hey!" "What the hell is happening?" "Steady, lyle." "It's okay." "It's okay, lyle." "She's waking!" "Junior:" "Melanie, are you okay?" "She looks better than okay to me." "Pauline." "It's so beautiful." "Oh." "Melanie!" "Hey!" "(screaming) sam:" "No!" "Melanie." "Grab my hand!" "Grab my hand!" "(screaming)" "Sam:" "Hold on to her." "I'm trying!" "Sam:" "Don't let her go!" "(crying)" "Okay, hold on!" "Hold on!" "Barbie." "Hold onto her." "Don't let go!" "(screaming) melanie!" "No." "(indistinct shouting)" "Oh!" "Melanie!" "Where did she go?" "I don't know." "We have to go after her!" "No, no, no." "Barbie:" "Hey, you don't know where that goes." "You jumped out there not knowing, both of you did!" "Yeah, and then, phil jumped and died instantly." "Same thing could happen here!" "He's right, junior." "We got to be smart" "About this, figure it out first." "Is this the way you painted it?" "I thought it showed her healed, but..." "Big jim:" "Wait." "Pauline!" "Pauline!" "In my dream," "I saw melanie disappear, but I didn't know it meant that." "Maybe she's alive somehow." "You saw what happened." "It's my fault!" "No one's blaming you." "You tried to help." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Pauline?" "You know why?" "'cause she's supposed to be with me, jim." "Always has been supposed to be with me." "The red paint-- it was my blood." "What-what do you mean?" "The dome" "Wanted me to sacrifice." "Lyle:" "So that she and I could be in heaven together." "Forever." "Us." "Us." "(panting)" "(grunting)" "(grunts) (laughs)" "You g..." "You got me." "You got me." "(panting)" "(laughs)" "(grunting)" "Oh, g..." "(groans)" "Oh." "Oh..." "Thank you, jim." "Thank you." "Uh-huh." "(panting)" "(guitar plays intro to "turn!" "Turn!"
