New kid.

Are you just beating up new kids now?

He started it.

What was it this time?

Uh, the usual.

"Heard you were the badass that wasted a serial killer.

You don't look so tough."

He didn't really say that.

Yeah, he actually did.

Did you have to go so hard on him?

In a situation like that,

the more blood, the better-- for the crowd.

Proves a stronger point.

You've made that point more than once,

so maybe-- and I'm just spitballing here--

maybe the point you're actually making

is less "don't fuck with me" and more "I'm the guy to beat."

Hey, Gwen, Finn.

Great fight, man.

Thanks, Ernesto.

-Hi, Ernie. -ERNESTO: So, uh, tonight,

uh, I'm going to go down to the Civic Center

-Duran Duran tickets? -He just said that.

Simon Le Bon is so choice.

A-Are you going, Gwen?

I wish. Those tickets cost a mint.

My treat. I was gonna buy two anyway.

It'd, you know, be cool

to have someone to go with who's... who's also a fan.

-For real? -For real.

That'd be radical.

Consider it done.

All right, well, I-I got to get to shop class.

See ya.

(car departing)

You know that's a date.

-No, it's not. -Yeah, it is.

Okay, so what if it's a date?

I don't know, I... I just don't like him.

I don't get why.

He's really nice.

Besides that, don't you think Robin

I was talking to Mom.

It was just a dream.

N-No, it was...

She called me.

From a youth camp.

A youth camp?

She reached out to me from there for a reason.

Come on. Let's get you out of here.

(spits)

-What's this? -Camp Alpine Lake.

The camp Mom called from.

We have to go there.

Gwen, stop this.

It was just a dream.

About a real place.

A place I found. It's why I had the dream.

-(sighs) -It's a Christian youth camp

up near Silverthorne.

What's this?

They're accepting applications for CITs

for middle school winter camp.

What's a CIT?

Counselor in training.

No... (stammers)

I'm not going to be a counselor for junior highers

at some weird Jesus camp you dreamed about.

No, you're going to be a counselor in training.

-No, I'm not. -Come on.

Dad has been hounding you to get a job,

and this is a job that pays.

-And we can find out what Mom... -I said no.

What's going on in here?

Uh, Gwen wants us to get jobs at some Christian winter camp.

Not Camp Alpine.

-Hmm. -(flipping through brochure)

Your mother worked there.

Wh-When?

Uh, it was long before I met her.

It closed in '58.

How'd you hear about this place?

Uh, um, I-I had...

Some kids at school.

Said it was a good way to, uh, make some money.

Christian camp.

You guys, you know I don't...

much like any of that religion stuff, you know?

It-it's just a job, Dad.

Mom worked there.

I'm not crazy.

I never said you were crazy.

I would like my daughter back unscathed.

Do you say anything else?

Yes, sir.

Uh, uh, I-I mean...

I don't like the way he looks at her.

Yeah. Me, neither.

Damn it. Wait.

"Wait," what?

Good.

Go look after your sister.

Do me a favor while I'm gone.

Yeah, anything, Son.

Spike.

And scratched letters into the ice above him: "WBH."

I think his head was cut in half on the tree stump in the woods.

BARBARA: Lord in heaven.

The third boy wore a denim jacket.

He was all burnt up,

like he'd been cooked inside an oven.

-How'd you know that? -KENNETH: Mando.

No. (stammers)

Gwen, ignore everyone else in the room.

It's just you and me right now.

The boy who was burnt up, how did you hear about that?

I just told you.

He came to me in my dream.

He wants me to find him.

-They all do. -(groans)

They can't rest until they're found.

-Whoa. You okay there, Mando? -Mando?

(sighs heavily)

Burnt pieces of Calvin O'Keefe's denim jacket

were found by police.

Only they had that detail.

The police, the former camp owner and me.

BARBARA: What about what we saw in the kitchen?

That was no dream.

Have you heard of The Grabber?

MANDO: Yeah. Who hasn't?

He killed a bunch of kids, and then...

got killed when one escaped.

Yeah, h-his name was Finney something.

Finney Blake.

Finn Blake?

Holy shit.

Gwen, when did all this start?

Weeks ago, when my mom called me from this camp in a dream.

She wanted me to come here.

Wh-What does this have to do with The Grabber?

It wasn't the devil attacking me in the kitchen.

It was him.

I could see him. He's here.

This is from the last year of camp before we closed down.

I-I was just the camp cook back then.

There's me, and there's your mom.

After Harlan, the owner, closed this place,

I kept coming up here anyway,

hiking the area, looking for those kids.

Then, when Harlan passed, I bought this place

in an estate sale for a song and reopened it.

I promised their parents I wouldn't stop looking

until I found them.

So, every day, weather permitting,

I'm still out walking the trails,

digging up every mound of dirt.

Not a single morning goes by that I don't pray for help

to find those boys.

I didn't know it was you he'd send.

But now that you're here, I'm not gonna pass up a chance

to put those kids to rest once and for all,

for-for-for them, for their families and for me.

No fucking way.

What is it with this family?

It's him. It's The Grabber.

-MANDO: Are you sure? -FINN: I know him,

and I know his face.

That's Bill.

Wild Bill.

He worked maintenance.

(stammering): We called him Wild Bill

because he wore this brown leather tool belt

loose around his waist like a gunslinger,

and he got long, wavy hair like Wild Bill Hickok.

Wild Bill Hickok.

"WBH."

This is where he started.

These boys were his first kills.

And Wild Bill became The Grabber.

Mando, when did weird things start happening around here?

Mm, not until a few years ago.

1978?

Sounds about right.

That's the year I killed him.

And his spirit was set free to come back here.

Okay, but why would he do that?

Maybe his spirit draws power from the fear of his victims

because their spirits are not at rest.

How do we find these boys?

Their bodies are underwater, in a frozen lake, I think.

But didn't the police search the local lakes?

No. Why would they?

The lakes were frozen over when the boys went missing.

Lake Maru is where we take campers ice fishing,

so we store our equipment there.

(stammering)

Wild Bill used it for the kids' hockey games.

He was a good skater.

That's the only lake where he would have the tools

to make a hole in the ice and...

dump the bodies.

Okay, so i-if we find Felix, Cal and Spike,

allow them to rest, as you say,

that would get rid of The Grabber's power?

I think so. Yeah.

Okay, then.

At dawn, we head to Lake Maru and look for those boys.
