-I didn't even know
he was sick.

-I don't think he was.

- He was really...

- They were the same age.

- I think he was 70.

- I think he was closer to 170.

- We're here today
to celebrate Joseph's life.

Soldier, husband and father.

He burned bright.

Dedicated man who found the time

to not only devote his attention

- But remain a devoted man
to Catherine.

- Tim, no.

What have I told you
about this closet?

- Not until I'm older.

- That's right.

Do you have any idea
how dangerous it would be

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.

- Yes.

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, have you seen kitty?

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

- Yo.

Come on, man.

The test isn't until
Friday at 8.

- Yeah, that's exactly why
I'm not gonna smoke any.

I gotta study twice as hard
to do half as well as you.

- Well, that is true.

I am the smart one,
don't forget.

- I didn't forget.

- Do you know what you need?
- Noise-canceling headphones?

- Nah, man, none of that.
What you need is to relax.

Whoa. Hey, look, man.

It's that girl
you never talk to.

What's her name?
- Lauren?

- Lauren.
- Shut up.

- Look, come on.

Hurry up, man.

Look, see them right there.

Dang, I like her friend.
- I like her.

- Yeah, I know you do,
lover boy.

- Stop.

- Hey, look, got an idea.

- You got an idea?

- Yeah, just wait up here, man.

- Timothy Denbrough?
- Uh, yeah.

- We're delivering
from the estate of a...

Catherine Denbrough?

- My grandmother?
- Sign here.

- Oh.

Whoa, um...

- Oh, and here's a letter
from your grandma.

- All right, thank you, guys.

- Okay.

- Come on, Tim.
The party's startin' now, man.

- Hi.

- Lauren, this is my friend,
Tim, I was talkin' about.

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

- I am.
- I told him it could wait

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.
- 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.

Hi.
- Hi.

- 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.

-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.

-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.

-When are you going to
see the eye doctor?

You having trouble, old man?
- No.

Congratulations, it's a boy.

- I got him.

-All right, here you go.
Come on.

Throw it. Come on, buddy.

Oh, oh.

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.
-Hey, Tim,

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

- Monday?
-Yeah, Monday.

I just got off the phone
with the client.

- You couldn't get
a continuance?

-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.

-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.

Come on, Dad, it's your turn.

-Hey, Tim.

We're ready.

Where are you?

-Your turn.

- Six.

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.

-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.

-Hey, Tim,
Mako Terra accounts

need discovery by next week.

They want discovery by when?

-Wednesday, latest.

-I'm sorry, that is just
not--

That's not possible.

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

your drive.
-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.

Well, then show me, Tim.

Are you gonna get
this done on time?

-Um, yeah.

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's30 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.

-Love you too.

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

Do you understand that?

-Your grandfather
forgot that even if you

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

-You wanted to be
the lawyer and dad

your father
didn't get the chance to be.

-Find the time to get it
done.

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

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

-- You are in good shape.
-- But if you want--

-Someone about ten
years older than you are.

-- --to stop working.
-- Do you have to leave?

-No, no, no, no.

Oh, shit.

-Oh, shit.
- Dad?

Dad.

- Henry. Henry.

Henry.

Henry! Henry!

Henry.

Henry.

- Dad.

Dad. Where are you?

Hello?

Dad?

- Aah.

-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.

-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.

The truth behind the mystery

might finally
be revealed this Friday.

-I like to think
finding the journals

was pure serendipity.

-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.

-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.

- Uh.
- Ah.

-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 Al Capone's vault.

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

All right?
- Okay.

-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?

Hey, is everything okay?

- I don'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?

Mac, Carmella, good?

-- Rolling.
-- Uh-huh.

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

-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?

1421.

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.

-78285,
code 6, 105 North Avenue 52.

-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.

- 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!

- Huh?

- 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!
-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.

Go!

Uh! Ah!

Open the door! Open the door!

Open the--hey.

- Carmella. Uh, ah!

- No!

-Faster, go, go faster.

- Uh!

- Get out of my town.

Ah!

- Aah!

- Oh, my God.

- Ah!

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 p.m. newscast.

Join us at 10
when Jennifer Lunt

will tell us exactly
what's been found

at the bottom of Rider's Quarry.
