Previously, on "Limetown"...

In 2003, the world's top neuroscientists

gathered at a research facility in Tennessee known as Limetown.

I have heard the future!

We know there was a large population there

on February 8th, and on February 11th

it was like nobody ever was.

A 15-year-old event with nothing new to say.

[DARK MUSIC]

Lia, it's a survivor, and she wants to speak with you.

[DISTORTED AUDIO] How soon can we meet?

[PEPPY MUSIC PLAYING OVER TV]

You waltz around here in your own bubble

- floating above the rest of us. - Yeah, that's me,

good-guy Jacob in a safety school of human beings.

- I'm still here. - Are you?

Why are you acting like this?

- We might as well... - TV: Cool, huh?

- [MUFFLED ARGUMENT CONTINUES INAUDIBLY] - _

- TV: Look at that, huh? - Oh, here we go.

Bad things have been happening for two years...

Here we go.

You're never the reason... [VOICE FADES]

TV: I'll make sure...

- A martyr. - Oh, here we go.

[WHISPERS] Lia.

That is not what I said.

Doesn't matter what you said, that's what you meant.

- [WHISPERS] Lia. - That is not what I meant.

Psst, Apple.

Everything is the way it is, and I have to wake up...

Apple.

Every day, and I don't need you...

- I found you. - Goddamn PTA meeting.

- Come here. - All I said to Susan...

[UNINTELLIGIBLE] ... I imagined it!

Hi.

Oh, we'll go upstairs.

[ARGUMENT CONTINUES INAUDIBLY]

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

Okay.

[SIGHS]

Okay, didn't we have an interview scheduled?

- Yeah. - Let's go.

- Wait. - What?

You have to wear this for the interview.

[LAUGHS] Really?

I do? Okay.

But it's a radio interview.

Nobody's gonna see it.

Doesn't matter, huh? I have to wear it anyway?

Okay, all right, okay.

Let's go.

[TAPE RECORDER CLICKS]

- GINA: Lia. - This is Lia Haddock.

Lia. Could you act like

this is the biggest news story in the world right now?

- House 42? - Frank Banner.

- House 41? - Amy Lye.

- House 40? - Ruby Kippertich.

- House 47? - Carrie Yipp.

- House 50? - Harumi Sato.

- House 49? - Cody Harper.

- House 45? - Eloise Martin.

- House 43? - Helen Vandenberg.

- House 44? - Kipp Harvini?

- There's one... - Thank you.

- And, uh, that one. - Yeah, that's mine.

That's the tea. Thank you.

That's mine. [SIGHS]

All right, uh, can I help with anything?

BOTH: Nope.

Penelope Tarr, neurosurgeon,

married to...

[INQUISITIVE MUSIC]

Trick question.

No one. Single.

[SIGHS]

[WHEELS CLATTERING]

[SIGHS] This is the first account of Limetown

from someone who actually lived there.

It's about who she is, what she did, where she's been.

Her story is Limetown's story, okay?

Don't... don't be afraid to be vulnerable.

If you get stuck, ask for help, change your approach.

Okay?

I know. I know, Gina.

I know you're a good journalist.

It's just, this is...

[SIGHS]

I know.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[KEYS TAPPING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Hi, um, this is Lia Haddock.

I'm... I'm at the spot that you said to meet.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Lia Haddock?

[TENSE MUSIC]

Okay, let me just...

let me just get something to write that down.

[LIGHTS BUZZING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

[SIGHS]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Um, hello?

Winona?

Who are you?

It's... it's Lia Haddock.

We were supposed to meet at the park two hours ago.

I... we just spoke on the phone.

Why did you call me "Winona"?

[TENSE MUSIC]

That's the name you gave me.

Did I?

I'm sorry, I don't remember sometimes.

I have to write things down.

Stand in front of the door so I can see you.

Face me, please.

Now hold up your ID.

Now, please.

[BUTTON SNAPS]

- [LOCKS CLICKING] - [DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CREAKS]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[KETTLE WHISTLING]

Can you put the chain on the door, please?

[WHISTLING STOPS]

[METAL CLANGS SOFTLY]

[SIGHS, MURMURS]

[MUSIC FADES]

[SIGHS]

I, uh... [STAMMERS]

I can't really tell you what it means to be talking to you.

I... I know that you could have spoken to anyone and...

you chose me, and it means a lot.

That's all... that's all I'm saying.

I'm not sure it means anything.

- [ZIPPER WHIRRS] - [OBJECTS SHUFFLING]

Can you sit down and stop making us both anxious?

Sure.

Sorry about earlier.

Sometimes it's difficult for me to recall things.

I wrote everything I was supposed to tell you

in my notes,

but then I lost my notes and then I forgot I lost my notes,

and you can see where it all falls apart.

Winona, you don't have to apologize for anything.

Just know that I am here

to help you tell the world your story.

[PAPER RUSTLING]

I can only speak within

a very specific set of parameters.

You cannot ask me what they are.

I am to give you the information I can give

and no more.

I will not give you my real name.

I will not be photographed. I will not reenter society.

I will speak to no one else on this matter.

Ever.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

If you follow these instructions,

I will direct you to the next survivor.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

There are more survivors?

Of course.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Did you write these conditions?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

There's something else I want to ask you about.

S-L-V-A.

Does that mean anything to you?

"S-L-V-A"?

- No. - [SIGHS]

What is S-L-V-A?

S-L-V-A.

I don't know what it is, but I need to.

Sometimes I don't remember here...

But I remember here.

I moved to House 27 in Limetown in 2003

with a man.

The man worked in research and development,

I had just finished school.

[LAUGHS]

Eight years of grad school for me,

a year of Limetown for him.

It seemed fair and balanced, right?

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Hi.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Just up here.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

[CHILDREN LAUGHING, CHATTERING]

- We got you! - Look out!

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Did you notice these doors don't have locks?

Well, uh, I guess you can leave this town

whenever you want to.

I'm a big kid, Karl.

I know what I'm getting into.

- Knock, knock. - Hi.

Hi. Sorry, we just wanted to

stop by and see how you're settling in.

- I'm Emile Haddock. - Hi.

I'm Oskar Totem's executive assistant,

and this is Lenore Dougal.

- She's the city manager. - BOTH: Hi.

Yes, yes, um, Max mentioned you.

- Yeah. - You're our first

Limetownians... [VOICE FADES]

So you knew Emile Haddock?

Is that important to you?

That cannot be what's important to you.

15 years, and you're still asking the wrong questions.

Anyway, I hope that you'll find this a safe haven.

You... you know there's no money,

and as you can see, none of the doors have any locks on them.

And I know that might seem a little bit Waco,

but this is a scientific community

of rational individuals based on trust.

[CHUCKLES] I think it sounds wonderful.

- Well, time will tell. - What can I ask?

You can ask anything.

And I may not answer it,

but don't waste my time with bad questions.

Okay, what happened to everyone in Limetown?

That's totally beyond the point.

Money moves the world, Lia.

That's not why you're here.

Ladies and gentlemen, help me give a warm welcome

to Dr. Oskar Totem!

[TRIUMPHANT MUSIC]

Dreams.

Dreams speak to us.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Sometimes a dream speaks to a common people,

unifying them in a common cause.

- Good morning. - We can't explain it...

- Oh, no. - To those who don't hear it...

- Thank you. - We just feel it!

- Okay, have a good day. - This...

- Good morning. - Hi.

This is a dream!

[CHILDREN LAUGHING, CHATTERING]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

I'm gonna dance.

I got it!

[PHONE BUZZING]

Sorry.

So sorry.

Sister?

No.

Your mother.

Yes.

I understand if you need to answer the call.

I don't.

- We don't speak. - [GASPS]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[WHISPERS] I... I'm sorry.

I don't know where that came from.

It's okay.

It's okay, take your time.

[PAPER SHUFFLING]

Why don't you just tell me about what you did there?

Your job.

I'm assuming that you had one.

I didn't have one at first.

But then you did?

- Yes. - Sorry.

This was supposed to be one of my easier questions.

[TENSE MUSIC]

After a little while I, um...

I started to feel alone.

My skin was crawling.

I needed to feel like I was part of the community.

Of course you did.

There was a opening at the research facility.

- What kind of opening? - [SIGHS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[TENSE MUSIC]

They made you a janitor?

You never saw anyone with a degree do menial labor?

It's better than doing nothing.

And it led to the story I'm supposed to tell you.

[SIGHS]

It's night.

The lights are out.

The only lights are in two different rooms

with two different men.

Can you see it?

Um, yes, I... I think so.

Sure.

They don't notice me... or they don't care.

[TENSE MUSIC]

The first man draws.

[CHARCOAL SCRAPING]

I can't see what he is drawing.

[CHARCOAL SCRAPING]

I'm close enough to know...

the second man is him.

The One They Were All There For.

His eyes are closed, but he is not asleep.

I stand here in the dark and watch.

The man on one end draws.

The Man They Were All There For doesn't move.

[WHEELS RUMBLING]

Every night, different person drawing...

same Man sitting.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Until...

[TENSE MUSIC]

There's something else here.

Their movements are the same.

I shouldn't be here.

[LIGHTS CLICK]

[DARK MUSIC]

They're identical...

in every way, including the mistakes.

I do not believe this.

I don't believe this.

How would that be possible?

The Man is special.

What makes The Man so special?

He speaks to me...

but he does not open his mouth.

[FOREBODING MUSIC]

I hear his voice like he is standing next to me,

but he is not.

The only sound...

is in my head.

And then he says, "Go home.

You know what you saw here

and you've seen what you needed to see."

[GASPS]

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

This is the end of the story I was supposed to tell you.

You have what you need to understand.

S-L...

V-A.

This cannot be the whole story.

You're right...

but this is all I can say.

Where is everyone?

Who is The Man That They're All There For?

Was it Oskar Totem?

V-A.

What is S-L-V-A?

They did something to me.

[KETTLE WHISTLING]

[WHISTLING CONTINUES]

[SLURPS]

I left Limetown in the middle of the night.

The next day was when it all fell apart.

The Panic.

"The Panic"?

What is that?

The insanity that ended Limetown.

You must keep telling this story.

You'll find the next citizen in Rake, Wyoming.

They died because of him.

Who died?

Who is he?

They died because of him.

[PEN SCRATCHING]

[MUMBLING INAUDIBLY]

[SIGHS]

What did you see

with The Man who was drawing in synch with the others?

What was that?

The Man was trying to prove he was special.

[PEN SCRATCHING]

S-L-V-A.

[PEN SCRATCHING]

You said you lived in House 27, right?

[PAPER RUSTLING]

But the Attermans lived in House 27.

The Walters were supposed to live in House 27...

but they requested a change

because they needed a second bedroom.

Cyndi and Karl Walter...

And their daughter...

Sylvia.

S-L-V-A.

Can you recall any of that, Cyndi?

Sylvia.

[HEARTBROKEN MUSIC]

She was seven.

[WEEPY LAUGHTER]

[HEARTBROKEN MUSIC]

[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

[HEARTBROKEN MUSIC]

I left her.

But why?

What happened to Sylvia, Cyndi?

Did she die in The Panic?

I don't know.

What would possess you to leave your daughter like that?

What kind of mother does that?

I was supposed to keep her safe.

He wanted me to keep her safe.

No one should have to tell you to keep her safe.

It's your job.

She's your daughter.

Get...

out!

Get out!

- Get out! - Okay.

[SOBS]

[SOBBING]

[DARK MUSIC]

- [KNOCKS ON DOOR] - [LOCKS CLICKING]

[DARK MUSIC]

Winona, I'm so sorry, I...

It was... it was really unprofessional of me.

My mom left me and my dad when I was 17...

and it's not the same, I know.

But thank you for your help...

and I hope you find your daughter.

I know you love her.

[LOCK CLICKS]

[DARK MUSIC]

Do we know each other?

I don't have a daughter.

Sorry... [STAMMERS]

Wrong room.

- [INSECTS CHIRPING] - [DOG BARKING]

[PHONE LINE RINGING]

Hi, you've reached Jacob Haddock.

Please leave a brief message unless it's Lia,

in which case I know that's impossible.

- [PHONE LINE BEEPS] - Hey, Dad.

Uh, I was just thinking about Mom and I just,

uh... I don't know,

it made me want to talk to you, I guess.

[SIGHS]

Uh, I think maybe...

and this is off the record...

[SIGHS] I think this is big.

You know, it just made me wish...

I don't know... you were, you know...

Here.

Okay.

Talk to you later.

They all died because of him in Rake, Wyoming.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

There was a fire there in 2006.

It's the only instance of multiple deaths on town record.

This is our guy.

Who?

The next survivor.
