Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.

- All right. You take care.

- Wait, wait.

Please don't go.

What?

If I don't talk to somebody,

I'm gonna go crazy.

- Maybe I already am crazy.

- Okay. I don't gotta go anywhere.

- I'll stay right here.

- Thank you.

But you think we can get

the hell out of this place?

Kind of gives me the creeps.

Yeah.

Pretty much everybody's still here.

Rick Foster just got back from Afghanistan.

But he's going back, I think.

He's still married to Shawna.

If I was married to Shawna,

I'd be going back, too.

Mary Kimball's been married

and divorced twice.

- Twice?

- She's got three kids.

Lives in that new subdivision

over by the quarry.

The quarry.

So, the quarry's still there?

Yes, well, you know,

it is a big, giant hole.

- You can't really move a big, giant hole.

- Smart ass. Cut me some slack.

Yeah.

Nothing's changed, really.

Marriages and mortgages.

I can see why you couldn't

get out fast enough.

Preston, I'm...

I'm so sorry.

Hey, you don't gotta explain to me.

If I'd gotten into college, I would've

left this town and never looked back.

Never would have

given it a second thought.

That's not true. I thought

about this place a lot.

I missed you.

I'm sorry I didn't call more.

I just wanted a clean

breakaway, I guess.

But me leaving never had

anything to do with you.

It's okay. I understand.

How have you been?

Married.

Where did she think you were last night?

Oh, I told her the truth.

I told her I was with a Make-A-Wish kid.

So tell me what's going on.

You seemed so scared back there.

Okay. I've been having nightmares.

I've been having really bad dreams,

and they're so real that

I think I'm going crazy.

I dreamed there's this girl.

She looks dead,

and she's trying to get me, kill me.

And there's this man. It looks

like he's been burnt to death,

and he looks at me like I did it.

Like whatever happened

to him, it was my fault.

Well, after everything

you've been through,

it would be weird if you weren't

having nightmares, right?

- Have you thought about seeing a shrink?

- I can't afford it.

I mean, if I had any money at all,

I wouldn't have come home to live with Dad.

I'm flat broke.

And there are these tapes.

Now that we know that's what

that last reading meant...

I mean, that's what Moses says.

So, we're gonna get you a new one.

I really don't think you should

be watching these anymore.

It's no wonder why

you're having nightmares.

It's not good for you.

Would you watch them if it was your mom?

Your only chance to get to know her?

Yeah, I would, but I'd wait,

wait until I was recuperated.

Not when I was still

stuck in this house...
