"[ghostly noise playing over headphones] [typing]" "[gun cocking]" "Hap!" "Do not stand." "Just turn around in the chair and face me." "Put both hands, palms up, on your knees." "This... this is exactly what it looks like, Stan." "I have five people locked in my basement..." "You can get it off your chest in the deposition." " I have to talk to you about Evelyn..." " You don't say my wife's name." "What if I told you that I could cure ALS?" "I could free her from the prison of her body." "Stand up." "Turn around." "I'm gonna cuff you." "[Hap] I've spent my life studying near-death experiences." "These five NDE survivors in my basement, they have an ability, a technology, it's beyond my comprehension." "It's beyond science as it stands today, but they can heal your wife." "I swear it." "You've got a silver tongue and you'd say anything." "I don't want to hear it." "One of my subjects died." "They brought him back to life 11 hours later." "Lazarus from the dead." "Enough." "Let them do it for Evelyn." "If they can, you walk away." "You don't look back." "You don't ask any questions." "You let me continue my work." "And if they can't, you lock me up." "What do you have to lose?" "I don't make deals..." "You know as well as I do, there's no such thing as good and evil, black and white." "There's only gray." "There's only what a man can stand." "[indistinct radio chatter]" "[radio chatter continues] [door opening]" " [Stan shushing] - [Evelyn moaning]" " [Stan] Okay." " [seat belt fastening]" "Okay." " [door closing] - [Evelyn breathing unsteadily]" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "[captives laughing]" "Which ones do you need?" " [Scott] Oh, thank God." " [all chuckling]" "[Hap] This one." "And this one." "[Scott] Oh, sweet God!" "This man's wife is sick." "And you two are gonna heal her." "[door unlocks]" "Come on." "[door unlocks]" " [Stan] Up the stairs." "Move." " [Renata] You don't understand." " Slow." "Hap, slow!" " [Renata] We're prisoners!" " [Scott] Let us out!" " [Renata] You don't understand!" " [Scott] Let us out of here!" " Help us!" " Help us!" " [Scott] Get us out of here!" " [Renata] Help us, please!" " [loud banging on glass] [sobbing] Don't leave us!" "[captives screaming indistinctly]" "This is Evelyn." "I'm gonna lock the door and we'll be watching at the monitor until her condition improves." "[Hap] Let's go." "Now!" "[door closes and locks]" "[Homer] You understand what's happening, right?" "If we don't heal the sheriff's wife, Hap goes to prison." "So we just don't move?" "We move, but we just don't do it quite right." "[sneezes]" "We can't not." "Don't you see?" "The sheriff's all hyped up, but when this doesn't work, he'll crash." "Hap will look mad and he'll turn him in." "[sneezes]" "If we don't try to help her, then we aren't who we say we are." "[soft gasping breaths]" "[Stan] What are they doing?" " Wha..." "What's going on?" " It's okay." "Just... just wait." "[both exhaling sharply, hissing] [sharp exhales]" "[Stan] What's... what's happening?" "Trust me, Stan." "Just trust me." "[sharp breaths, hissing]" "[grunting]" "[both gasp]" " What's going on?" " It's working." "It's..." "It's working." "[sharp breaths, hissing]" " What...?" " No, no." "It's all right." "I got a thermal image camera." "[gasps] [grunting]" "You're here." "You're finally here." "She grabbed my hand." "She moved." "[whispers] She pulled me down and said," ""I need to tell you a story about when I was a little girl."" "I was out swimming in the waves and I got lost." "They were too big and I felt myself go under and it got so dark and black and cold, and then suddenly," "I was outside of my body." "And there was a small white light, and I moved towards it." "And at the center of that light... was a little girl." ""And that little girl said..."" ""One day..."" "you will help two captive angels." "It will be very hard." "It will be very... painful." ""But you must stay alive to give this to them."" "[inhales]" "And a white moth flew from her mouth into mine." "I swallowed it." "I have held it inside me, waiting for you to come." " Would you like to know what it is?" " [chuckling]" "Come closer. [chuckles] [chuckles softly]" "It's almost over... but I get to hold my Stan one more time." "Will you guard it with your lives?" "[Prairie] We will." "The fifth movement... [stammers] How do we use it?" "How do we, um... escape?" "It's a matter of will." "It's... it's always a matter of will." "Only a person of great determination can swim to another side." "Are you ready?" "I need to do this." "[Stan] She's moving!" "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "[sharp exhaling]" "[door opening]" "Oh!" "[cries] Oh." "I'm here."

"[Prairie and Hap grunt]" "[Prairie] Homer!" "[whimpers] [door locks]" "[Prairie grunts] Homer!" "[OA] We had everything we needed to escape." "Finally, after all these years..." "We had kept each other alive." "We had shared a bed." "And in all that time... we'd never, not once... touched." " [Prairie] Homer!" " [Homer] OA!" " Homer!" " [doorknob rattles]" " [Homer] OA!" " [grunts]" " [Homer] OA!" " [door knob rattling]" "[Homer banging on door]" "Homer." "[sets brake] [driver door opens, closes]" "[door opens]" "[Hap] Get out." " Get out!" "[grunts] - [Prairie whimpering]" "[Hap] Come on!" "[grunting]" "[OA] I'm lying there on the grass." "I can't move." "And then I feel the cold metal of a blade pressed against my throat." "[Hap] Did you think you were indispensable to the work?" "To me?" " [Prairie whimpering]" " Well, you're not." "I have the fifth movement." "I have Homer." " I don't..." " "I don't need you."" "I'm leaving you exactly as I found you." ""I don't have to kill you."" "[Hap] And even if you get back, we'll be gone." "[scoffs] In another dimension, all of us... and you'll be all alone." "[OA] "With nothing, with no one."" " [fabric tearing] - [gasps]" "Sky is so big, trees... and a road... going somewhere." "And I think of Homer and I grab onto him." " And he kicks me away."

"They're just, uh..." "They don't understand what we're doing." "You... you were at the Olive Garden." "[sighs] Yeah, I..." "I'm Alfonso." "I'm your daughter's friend." "And don't worry, I'm gonna prove that it's true." "That what's true?" "Her whole story." "Everything she went through." "She told you?" "[softly] Yeah." "It's, uh..." "I'm gonna make it all okay." "Just, uh..." "It's okay."

"The cages were in a basement, in a room that..." "wasn't that much bigger than this." "My bed was against the wall." "Sometimes, I slept on top of it." "Sometimes, I slept underneath it." "There was another cage here and one there." "A young man was next to me." "We fell in love." "I love him." "We drank water from a trough." "We ate food made for animals."

"I'm going to eat it." "We can't talk here." "That's right." "You lied to me... for years..." "Every day... for over seven years, to be specific." "I'm going to need a little time to think about that." "[stuttering] I know." "I made a mistake." "You lied to me." "You lied to the police." "I'll call..." "I'll call them and explain the whole thing." "But... but that doesn't change..." "It doesn't change the fact that he took her away." "What she told us last night, it doesn't change any of that." "Say something." "[Abel breathing heavily]" "I forgot coffee." "[breath trembling]" " [liquid pouring]" " When... when I found her note... and I saw..." "I saw what she wrote..." " "I'm going to find my father."" " Uh-huh." "Well, you're her father, Abel." " I was trying..." " You lied about the note because you were worried I would be hurt by her choice of words?" "She disappeared." "And you thought that's what I would have on my mind?" "[sniffles]" "[inhales sharply]" "If she left a note, the police wouldn't even have looked for her." "I just thought..." "We should have made that decision... together." "It all..." "It all happened because I chose her." "You wanted to adopt that little boy, but..." "I wanted her." "[breathing heavily]" "I thought because she was blind, she would need me forever." "[stuttering] I needed her... to love me." "I just did." "[whispers] I needed too much." "So, she left." "How could I tell you?" "I couldn't tell you." "Hi, uh, could you help me find a phone number?" "[woman] I'd be happy to." "[sniffs] Yeah, for, um..." "Betty Broderick-Allen." "Is it Elizabeth?" "Elizabeth..." "I'm sorry, that number is unlisted." "Oh, um..." "Could you try Winchell?" " W-I-N-C-H-E-L-L?" " Certainly." "Oh, actually, sorry, that's... that'd be a landline..." "Um..." "Oh..." "Uh..." "Try French." "Alfonso..." "[sniffles]" "Alfonso, uh..." "Ma'am?" "[stammering] Sorry, I, uh, I don't know, but thank you." "[puts down phone]" "[Steve] No." "E-V-E-L-Y-N."
