if you got locked in this closet?

- Grandpa went in. - He thought I didn't see.

He went in with a book, then came back out.

Well, your grandfather forgot that even if you

can play tricks with time, you can't cheat it.

You'll understand when you're older.

Go find your mother. She's looking for you.

Oh, that's okay, I'll find him. You run along now.

He's supposed to be studying for an exam, but...

because he's actually had a crush on you all semester.

- Really? - Oh, oh.

Hey, I didn't know that was gonna come out, hi.

- Hey, listen, you wanna go grab a drink?

- Mm-hmm.

- So.

- Why is your heart set on law if it's so hard?

- Well, my parents had me when they were really young

just like fresh outta college.

And my dad was plannin' on going to law school,

but he died in a car accident.

- I'm sorry. - No, thank you, it's uh...

So I don't know, I figure if I become

a successful lawyer and a good dad,

that I'll be doing what he never got the chance to.

- Oh, okay, a lawyer and a dad.

- I know, I, uh...

- You've got it all planned out, don't ya?

-Well...

- No, I... uh, I think that's nice.

You're nice.

- Tim.

- You're not forgetting about the exam, are you?

- Shit.

Oh, I gotta go, sorry.

Hey, hey, uh, I would love to see you again.

- Don't be late.

- I am not gonna pass the bar.

Shit, I am not ready for this.

I don't have time.

- Okay, thank you, grandma.

- No way.

Ah, thank you.

- Right on time.

- What? - Nothin'.

- Okay.

Group: Cheers.

- All right. - And cheers to you.

-And you.

- Let's see the ring again. - Yes.

-Ah, it's so pretty.

- Thank you.

- Wow, so when is the big day, guys?

- Ah, November right after we pass the bar, right?

- Okay, I like the confidence, man.

- Do you wanna go look at bridesmaid dresses?

- I would love to. - Thank you.

- I beg to differ. - Have fun.

- Bye. - We'll see you later.

- All right, listen.

So I haven't told Lauren yet, but guess what?

- What's up? - I got a house.

- Dope, man. - Yeah, it's a mile

from Wells and brown. It's a fixer upper.

- It's perfect. - Whoa, hang on.

You know that Wells and brown offer is only good

- if you pass the bar? - I know.

I'm not worried, man. I've been putting in the time.

- Well, I hope you been puttin' in the time when you're sleeping

because you're looking a little raggedy.

- I think maybe you're just a little worried

- about me doing better than you. - Nah, man, come on.

- You come on.

- All right, maybe. Maybe. - Maybe.

- But a wedding, the bar and now a house.

There's only so many hours in a day.

- That's just the excuse people use.

I'm just kiddin', man.

Listen, I appreciate the concern,

but I kinda got it under control.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Hmm, top of your class.

Editor of your law review.

Good reviews with your clerkship with judge meyers.

What is your trick?

- I am very good at time management.

- Well, keep it up.

Here at Wells and brown,

we like to be continually impressed.

-And I plan on continually impressing you.

In fact, I think that one day

my name is gonna be on that sign out front.

A little soon to be making bold statements

like that, don't you think?

- I don't like to waste time, sir.

Especially yours.

I can handle anything you send me.

- Well, I don't want to keep you too late.

Get home to your new bride.

- Lauren: Honey, can you bring the other Phillips head?

This one's too big for the switch cover.

-Yes, ma'am. I'll be right in.

- Hey, you're the man.

- On Tim's first day here,

he told me he doesn't like to waste time.

- Me? - Yeah, you. You cocky bastard.

- Okay.

- But I guess it's true because he just made

senior associate in under four years.

And that is faster than anyone in the history of this firm.

Congratulations, Tim.

- Here, here. All right. - Cheers.

- Yeah, thanks.

- I, uh... - I really appreciate it, Bob.

I couldn't have done it without any of you.

And I'm lookin' forward to the future.

Thank you very much.

Cheers.

Wow, this looks good.

- Dig in.

- Lauren: When are you going to see the eye doctor?

- You having trouble, old man? - No.

- Woman: Congratulations, it's a boy.

- I got him.

- Tim: All right, here you go. - Come on.

Throw it. Come on, buddy.

Oh, oh.

- Lauren: Wow, good throw, Henry.

Tim, what are you doing?

- Yeah.

- All right, you guys. - Food's ready.

- Is he wearing you out?

Sorry.

Hey.

- Hello. - Bob: Hey, Tim,

I'm gonna need you to close that halford account by Monday.

- Monday? - Bob: Yeah, Monday.

I just got off the phone with the client.

- You couldn't get a continuance?

- Bob: No, I put you on this because you said

you had the time.

You'll get it done if you wanna make junior partner.

- Uh, yeah, I can do it. - I have the files.

- Bob: Good, I'll see you in the morning.

- Yeah, sure. - Yeah, okay.

- No problem. Bye.

- Do you have to leave? - No, I get to stay.

- I don't know how you do it. - You're amazing.

- You guys do love your cakes.

- It looks good. - Yeah.

- You deserve it. - Thanks, bud.

- Crossing the finish line first as always, man.

I don't know how you do it. You love it, don't you?

- You know, I do love it.

-Yeah, I know you do.

Congratulations, man.

You deserve it.

Whoa, are you all right?

- Yeah.

- Whoa, whoa. Take it easy.

- Whoa, Tim. Are you okay?

- Guys, I don't...

- Oh, come on.

- You're lucky this was just a mini stroke.

You'll recover.

We'll give you some medication for your hypertension.

- I'm sorry, did you say stroke?

I don't understand.

I workout.

I mean, I eat well.

And...

I don't know, I think I'm in pretty good shape.

- You are in good shape

for someone about ten years older than you are.

My advice would be to cut back on the long hours

and make sure you're sleeping.

A young man shouldn't be having these issues.

- He will.

- Do you remember what you said to me when we first met?

You wanted to be the lawyer and dad

your father didn't get a chance to be.

You've done that.

You've won, but if you want to keep what you've won,

you have to stop working yourself into an early grave.

- Can you do that?

- Yes.

- Henry: Come on, dad, it's your turn.

Lauren: Hey, Tim.

We're ready.

Where are you?

Lauren: Your turn.

- You get to get to the ladder. - You're so good at this game.

Next time you can roll for me.

-All right, my turn.

Two.

One.

Two.

- Lauren: Oh, you can't do that. - Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought I was supposed to go right to the end.

- So it'll be announced soon,

but I wanted you to hear it from me.

There's a short list for senior partner.

-All right.

Senior partner, about time, man.

- Tim. - Yeah.

What?

What, I'm not on it?

Really?

Who is?

- Well, Winston. - Winston.

- Avery, of course.

And me.

- And you?

-And me.

- I see. - Look, I'm really sorry, man.

- No, you earned it, buddy.

Congrats.

- Mia told me about the senior partner list.

- I talked to Bob.

And I'm gonna fix it, I promise.

- No, that's not what I'm saying.

I don't care about senior partner.

I know it's more money and more prestige.

But I don't care about that.

Henry doesn't care about that.

What is important to us is the time we have together.

Do you understand that?

- Yeah, I do. - Good.

- Bob: Hey, Tim, mako terra accounts

need discovery by next week.

- Tim: They want discovery by when?

Bob: Wednesday, latest.

- Tim: I'm sorry, that is just not...

That's not possible.

- Bob: You know there's a perception that you've lost

- your drive. - Tim: That's not true.

I am the same guy that I've always been.

And I have the same, exact drive that I've always had.

Bob: Well, then show me, Tim.

Are you gonna get this done on time?

Tim: Um, yeah.

Bob: Good, and you know what?

Don't bother coming in tomorrow unless you get this done.

You got that?

- Daddy.

- Hey, buddy. - What are you doing?

- What are you doing?

It's 3:30 in the morning. You should be in bed.

- I'm thirsty. - Okay, well, go in the kitchen.

I'll be right in.

Go on.

I'll be right after you.

I love you.

Henry: Love you too.

- Lauren: What is important to us is the time we have together.

Do you understand that?

- Grandma: Your grandfather forgot that even if you

can play tricks with time, you can't cheat it.

- Lauren: You wanted to be the lawyer and dad

your father didn't get the chance to be.

- Bob: Find the time to get it done.

- Man: Well, I hope you've been putting in the time

in your sleep because you're iookin' a little raggedy.

- Doctor: You are in good shape. - Lauren: But if you want...

- Doctor: Someone about ten years older than you are.

- Lauren: To stop working. - Henry: Do you have to leave?

Tim: No, no, no, no.

Oh, shit.

- Tim: Oh, shit. - Dad?

Dad.

- Henry. Henry.

Henry.

Henry! Henry!

Henry.

Henry.

- Dad.

Dad. Where are you?

Hello?

Dad?

Aah.

Man: All right, everybody.

We're goin' live at five, four, three...

- Thanks, Jennifer.

Horlex university officials also confirmed

the rediscovery of what they're calling

the carpenter arctic exploration collection.

I don't know what that is, but it sure sounds exciting.

Don't you think, murph?

- Sure does. If it were me,

I'd have opened those crates yesterday.

Moving onto our final story.

Now this is a fun one, serese. The little town of oakwood

at the north end of castle county

is gearing up for a big event this Friday.

Mac kamen has the report.

- Mac: If you're up on your Maine myths,

you know that the town of oakwood

has quite the mysterious history.

It's well known around these parts

that back in 1821, 200 years ago,

the entire town of oakwood up and vanished.

Every single resident.

A real mystery for the ages you might say.

Here in oakwood every citizen has a theory.

- Smallpox wiped the whole kit and kaboodle off the map.

That or bubonic plague, possibly leprosy.

- It had to be the Indian raids, the maliseet, the mi'kmaq.

Personally, I still don't trust none of them.

- Aliens, what else makes sense?

They aliened down in their alien saucer.

Tractor beamed the whole village.

Then aliened them off to do their probing and whatnot.

- Mac: The truth behind the mystery

might finally be revealed this Friday.

- Marnie: I like to think finding thejournals

was pure serendipity.

- Mac: Marnie wrightson's not just the mayor's daughter.

She's oakwood's librarian

and president of the historical society.

While cleaning the library basement,

marnie rightson found her holy grail...

A stack of oakwood journals from the 1800s

written by a man named Eli Lester.

- Marnie: I must've moved those boxes 100 times,

but something drew me in this time.

-And I hear you've barely put the journals down

over the last few days.

- It's like a crash course in oakwood's history.

- I understand the icing on the cake

was the discovery of the etched coordinates

on the back of Eli Lester's final journal.

Where did that lead?

- We dug up a section of flag's park next to the school.

And wouldn't you know it? We found a time capsule.

The people of this town are electric with anticipation.

-Amazing.

You're a veritable Sherlock Holmes.

- Well, I mean, my dad wanted me to go into politics like him,

but there's three things that I love.

I mean, I love books. I love history.

And I love a good mystery.

And oakwood's got all three.

- All clear.

- Oh, god.

I sounded so cheesy.

A big, stupid bowl of liquid cheese.

Can I try again?

- Oh, our viewers love their kickers doused in cheese.

- Trust me. - What's a kicker?

- Oh, that's the fluff story at the end of a news broadcast.

It leaves people feeling good, you know?

One-legged ostrich befriends acne-ridden crocodile.

Local boy sets guinness record for wearing 300 pairs of pants.

- Three hundred at once?

- Yeah, talented kid.

- Uh, anyway, I'll be doin' kickers here all week

before goin' live for Friday's big reveal.

- You'll be here all week? - Yeah.

I'm stayin' at the oakwood b&b.

-All right, one-legged ostrich.

Quit befriending the acne-ridden crocodile.

- So you wanna show us the dig site?

How'd you find it anyway?

- Oh, easy. - I called a cartographer.

The back of Eli Lester's final journal has coordinates.

-Ah.

- Mac: That's the same year the town vanished, right?

- I'm having trouble deciphering Eli Lester's final entry.

But I'm gonna crack it.

I've got a hunch the townsfolk

back in 1821, left a record of why they abandoned oakwood.

And left it in that box. We'll find out on Friday.

- You don't think there's a chance

it could be a bust, do you?

Like ai Capone's vault.

- Well, if that happens, absolutely blast it with cheese.

- All right? - Okay.

Marnie: Okay, kids.

I know Mrs. Gomez gave you all assignments

to guess what's in the time capsule.

What do you think is in the box?

- If I had a box, I'd put toys in it.

- I think they put in lists of friends

in order of how they liked them with Jackie at the bottom.

- My dad has a box

and there's lady pictures in it.

And none of them are mommy.

- Well, I think that this is a mystery.

And we will learn more and more about our ancestors

once we open up the box.

- What's that?

- Well, if you believe Eli Lester,

the 1821 disappearance is only part of the story.

This part of Eli's journal says that another 200 years back,

around 1621, there was a different vanishing.

- What happened to those people?

- Whoops.

Uh-oh.

Oh, probably nothing.

- That seemed to me like you were holding somethin' back.

- Well, they're kids.

I don't want them having nightmares about...

- About what? - In his last entry,

Lester writes how he begged town's folk to open that box.

He says it was their only hope for

something that I can't make out. It's not just that.

The symbols in that last slide,

I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.

- You're sayin' there's some kind of protection in that box?

From what?

Hey, where are you goin'?

What is it?

- [Gaspsi

Mac: Hey, is everything okay?

-Idon t know.

Friday's 200 years to the day since the capsule was buried.

And I don't think we can wait that long.

- Where are you going?

Marnie: Mac, carmella, good?

- Carmella: Rolling. - Mac: Uh-huh.

- Marnie: Look, I know you can't put this on air.

- Mac: Well, don't worry, there's other routes.

Viral videos. We'll get the truth out there.

- Everyone needs to see this.

I took this from the historical society.

I never understood what it meant until now.

- Huh.

- Well, I'll be.

- Mi'kmaq art, circa guess when?

Yet another 200 years back.

We're talking 600 years of oakwood getting wiped out.

There comes a point when things

can't just be coincidence anymore, Mac.

- On Friday, it will come again.

And this thing, it doesn't just scare us from town.

It doesn't just infect us with some bug.

I mean, it slaughters us.

Do you understand?

It is going to kill every fucking one of us.

I found those journals.

It is up to me to save this town.

- Hey, it's not just up to you.

I'm with you every step, my acne-ridden crocodile.

- My one-legged ostrich.

- Woman on intercom: 78285, code 6, 105 north Avenue 52.

- Marnie: Something is coming from the woods,

Eli Lester writes, that our only hope

at fighting back is inside that box.

He buried it, so we could use it.

I mean, I don't know if it's some spell or...

- Darlin', a spell?

- I raised you better than that. - Don't darlin' me, dad.

Everyone here is in danger if we don't do something.

- I'm sorry about this, marnie,

but I have a celebration to plan.

- Really? - Hey, take your hands off her.

She has a right to speak.

- Because wgon is right here in castle county.

And because folks in my town like being on TV,

I've decided to extend to you

some of our famous oakwood hospitality.

- Is that how you treat your own daughter?

- You do your story today, your live shot tomorrow.

Then high tail it out, ya hear?

No more of my daughter's creative theories.

She just needs a minute to get her head on straight.

Nabbing artifacts from the historical society.

Diggin' up private property in the middle of the night.

There's only so much a father can tolerate.

- And what about the people of this town?

- They are your responsibility. - What?

You're worried about a 200-year old boogeyman?

I care about these people, okay?

I care about my daughter.

All you need to know, Romeo, is everything is on schedule

for a good, wholesome event on Friday.

And both of y'all are invited.

- [Gaspsi

- so, Mac, tonight's the big night.

What's the vibe there?

- Well, serese, with just hours left

before oakwood opens its very own time capsule,

excitement is at a fever pitch.

Everyone, and I mean everyone

is lined up for this evening's festivities.

Most of us are excited.

We're really excited to see what's in there

and to come home.

Really looking forward to coming home, guys.

- Welcome all.

What a joy it is to see all these beautiful oakwood faces.

Now because this is being carried live,

I'm gonna dispense with my usual blah, blah, blah

and get right down to it.

Let's see what our forefathers left us, shall we?

- Stop. Dad, stop!

- I figured it out.

- Oh, girl. What are you doin'?

- I translated the last entry.

Eli Lester, he was a historian just like me.

He adored oakwood. He raised his family here.

He knew everything about its history.

- But when his daughter was murdered by a town elder,

they let him go free.

He decided to use what he knew about oakwood's past against it.

He convinced the town council that they needed

what was inside that ancient box

in order to keep the 200-year curse at bay

when it was quite the opposite.

Eli tricked them, dad.

Now he's tricked me too.

There's nothing in the woods coming to get us.

- Get her out of here. - Out of town.

- Dad! No!

We have to get away.

- Get my daughter out of town, now!

- Everyone, get away!

- Mac! - Mac: Marnie.

- It's not a time capsule.

It's a gate!

- Everyone run, run!

- Dad, wah!

- I told you it was aliens!

- Carmella, get to the news Van.

Uh! Ah!

Open the door! Open the door!

Open the... hey.

- Carmella. Uh, ah!

Marnie: Faster, go, go faster.

- Get out of my town.

Ah!

- Oh, my god.

I'm sorry. Please, I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean...

- I didn't know.

- Thanks for that report, Mac.

That's all for the wgon 5 pm. Newscast.

Join us at 10 when Jennifer lunt

will tell us exactly what's been found

at the bottom of rider's quarry.
