house, till we found out that

it got washed down a ridge.

Wormwood?

House that washed into the

valley during the flood?

Yeah.

You guys think you know

something about that?

Yeah, if you believe

in urban myths.

This is Wormwood, huh?

Sam?

Yeah, boss?

What she said.

We should just keep one

foot in reality here.

Any house, even if it survived

being ripped off its

foundation, would break into

kindling, crashing through

trees.

Well, look, if there's any part

of it around here, like

a... a floorboard or a roof

shingle... anything...

I'd like to see it.

Um, I'm telling you,

it's an urban myth.

Get in your car.

Follow me.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

Aagghh!

Mmph!

Nicky, Nicky.

Is he OK?

Yes, he's OK.

He's OK.

He just... he gets dizzy spells

when he thinks too fast.

Nick?

Look at me.

How about you get back in the

car and sit down, OK?

What do you mean?

It's a long shot, but we mapped

something a few days

ago that I think you

need to see.

This is the old highway where

the flood took it out.

See this path through

the forest?

Something big definitely

came through here.

Yeah, it's called a flood.

No.

Look at the sway of these trees.

It's way above the flood line.

Come on, Chris, there's ravines

like this throughout

the county.

Thanks, Sam.

But on this team, I'm the

arboriculturalist.

God, not that word again.

He likes to say that 'cause

he thinks it sounds dirty.

No, wait, so you're

a tree guy, right?

Nicky, Nicky.

Baby, come back up

here with me, OK?

Yeah, come on,

Nick, why don't you, huh?

Baby, now.

Please?

What?

At least one house

came through here.

It's, uh, it's a long shot.

But we could all go for

a quick little hike.

He said it was a long

shot, Nicky.

A shot's still a shot, Evie.

Come on.

You gonna be OK here if I...

if I take a quick look?

I'm not hiking, if that's

what you mean.

It's only gonna be

a few minutes.

Ryo, can you stay here with her?

Please?

All right?

Come on, Sam,

I know you want to come.

Yeah, I'm only going to see

your face when all you find is

poison ivy and a couple

of humping beavers.

Lil?

Ooh, thanks, but uh, I think

I'll stay with Eve.

That's a great idea.

I'm leaving

in the van if you guys

aren't back here in 10 minutes.

And I'm taking Eve with me.

Eve.

I love you.

See how the slip plane

moves across?

This isn't just from the water.

It is...

So I just follow where

the trees are clear?

Yeah, exactly.

Nick!

Nicky, slow down!

Nicky!

Nicky!

Come on!

We're gonna get lost out here.

You gonna be OK?

We gotta get back.

Little window.

Right, Nicky?

Little round window at the top?

What the hell are we looking at?
