You have to turn people in?
To the government. Sooner or later,
you're gonna have to do something for them you don't want to.
You do realize that, right?
It's me.
I got something for you.
I think i made some progress.
What's this trucking accident have to do with it?
One of the returns died in a fire.
The stories don't add up.
All of our troubles started
with that girl in there.
You killed him.
You killed my son.
I want you to know that you're not alone in any of this.
It's my deputy's brother.
He died 15 years ago.
Help me. Fred: What's going on?
They're all returned, and they're all sick.
[ Train whistle blows ]
I never got running.
Awful lot of effort just to get back to where you started.
Where's Maggie?
At the clinic.
Worked all night.
She have any idea what we're dealing with?
She thinks it could be a new flu strain
or some kind of viral pneumonia.
Only people who have come down with it so far are returned.
So, five, then?
Six, if you count Arthur Holmes.
I'll tell her you stopped by.
I'm not here to see her.
Found that under a building in my family's factory.
That fire back in '35,
i figure it killed those 12 men.
My family tried to hide it by making up the truck accident.
Probably would've stayed hidden.
Except, at some point, two of them returned.
And they were murdered three times over.
These are people coming back from the dead.
They probably thought they were ghosts.
Who killed them?
I don't know.
Do you want to know?
This is an 80-year-old case, agent bellamy.
And whoever's responsible is long gone now.
Your mom was a kid back then.
Ask her?
I did.
And if she knows something,
she's not inclined to share it with me.
And you're telling me this
out of the kindness of your heart.
You had most of it anyway.
And i know guys like you.
You're not gonna let it go.
People were killed.
There just might be families out there
who'd like to know the truth.
The truth is a slippery thing these days, isn't it?
Maybe people want to know, maybe they don't.
One thing's for sure.
You dig this up, the only people that get hurt
are the ones that you care about.
The langstons.

Mikey, come on. She's trying to help.
We don't have a clear picture of what we're dealing with.
But I'm starting you on antivirals,
which seems to be effective
in combating the most severe symptoms.
For now, I'm sending you home with your brother.
Well, i need to see a real doc... a man.
Well, the good news is,
i can tell you're already starting to feel better.
[ Door opens ] Uh...
Dr. Langston?
Um, the other one that came back,
that Arthur guy... He was sick, too, wasn't he?
He was.
And didn't it make him, like, disappear?
Well, we're not sure if it was because of the virus,
but, yeah, he did disappear.
That's why i need you to be vigilant.
Okay, deputy?
Yeah.
We're getting out of here, Carl. Yeah, of course.
Bunch of witch doctors. Gonna kill me, these people.
Where's my stuff at?
Thank you.
No problem. How's it going?
Okay, i guess. No new cases.
And we've been able to keep the symptoms under control.
That's a good thing, right?
I hope so.
Have you talked to your contacts in the government?
No.
I'm not bringing them in on this.
It was just a question.
We're better off without their help.

No. I think maybe it's about time we call it a night.
One drink. It's girls' night!
Girls' night?
Not my idea.
She just needed someone to talk to.
How long has she been here?
Uh, a while.
She's lonely.
You know, i think back then, her and Sam, it was a fling.
But now she's living with an old man.
Oh, wow.
My mother and her boyfriend aren't getting along?
How terrible. She's a kid.
She's younger than us. Ease up on her.
She's also my mother.

Maggie, your mom is a horrible influence.
[ Chuckles ] This has been fun.
See ya.
Uh, yeah. I should probably get home, too.
I wish I'd known you when you were younger.
It must've been hard for you to grow up without a mother.
Dad did okay.
Yeah, i know he has his faults,
but he was a good father.
He learned to French braid my hair.
He's changed. I can see that now.
I feel like I've lived 30 years in the past month.
You know, I've had this fantasy my whole life
of having a normal family.
And when you returned, that became a possibility.
And I've been blaming you for not living up to that.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no.
I'm saying that it's not fair for me to put that on you.

I've been thinking about what we should call our new church.
My wife, Janine, suggested new life church,
which i think seems appropriate on many levels.
We're still taking suggestions, if there's any.
[ Light laughter ]
No matter what we call it,
some people out there may not like the idea
of a church that ministers to the returned.
But those of us gathered here today
believe that the returned
are no different than the living,
that they deserve love and understanding
and even forgiveness,
as do we all.
Now, some of you have asked me about an illness
that has affected a few people in our community.
So, I've invited Dr. Maggie Langston
to speak with us today about that briefly.
Maggie?
Uh, we've had half a dozen cases of this virus.
And so far, only returned have acquired it.
Right now, it presents with flu-like symptoms.
The symptoms can get worse as it progresses.
But we've been able to control the illness with medication.
So don't delay seeking help if you start to feel sick.
Tom: Maggie will stick around after the service
if anybody has any questions.
Our closing hymn is "for the beauty of the earth."
[ Vehicle door closes ]
Good morning, Mrs. Langston.
Good morning.
Just wanted to come by and check in on you,
see how it's been going.
Any trouble since you've come back?
I imagine this isn't a social call, agent bellamy,
so just state your business
and let's get on with it, shall we?
I know about the bones under the factory,
the fire, the men who returned.
And so does Fred.
Does he, now?
You know something, too.
I think you're the one
who dumped those bones into the river.
Whatever you think you know, agent bellamy, is in the past.
It will stay in the past.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
The returned have a habit of digging up secrets.
Well, i imagine you know quite a bit about secrets.
Don't worry, agent bellamy.
Yours is safe with me.
The two men who returned,
they were killed again and again.
At some point, they stopped returning.
Why?
Life is a choice, agent bellamy,
for the living and for the returned, as well.
Those men just lost the will to live.
[ Door closes ]
Hey.
I'm just heading out.
House call at the langstons'.
Ooh!
I need the coroner's report on the bones from the river.
A friend from my residency went into forensics.
She said she'd take a look for us.
It's a waste of time.
You keep shutting me down.
Why?
What's going on with you?
I just think the government
is better equipped to study those remains.
Maybe they're in better hands.
You did it.
What?
You turned them over to the government.
The reason they knew where to find them
is because you told them where they were.
God, i knew you were hiding something from me.
I'm not hiding. Ever since you came back from Chicago, i could tell.
Something happened.
That's not true. You don't know...
You are lying to me, Marty! I can tell! I know...
You don't know anything about me.
You're right.
Guess i don't.
[ Door opens, closes ]
How's the new seizure medicine working?
Fine, i guess.
There haven't been any more incidents
since we changed them.
I'd say everything looks great.
No sign of illness.
Am i done?
Go.
Should we keep him home from school?
No, i don't think we're there yet.
Besides, if it's only affecting returns,
school might be the safest place.
Whatever you think is best.
Grandma's in the kitchen making lunch if you want to see her.
How are you holding up, mags?
Fine. Busy, you know?
Mm-hmm.
While you're taking care of everybody else in town,
you make sure that you take care of yourself, too.
I'm fine.
Ohh.
Okay.

Thank you.
Clean bill of health.
Just let me know if anything changes.
Are you planning on seeing all of them?

Trying to.
There are only a few dozen left in town.
And your mother?
Heading over to Sam catlin's next.

No? Where is she?
At your father's house.

Oh, it's none of my business.
I just hope he's going into this with his eyes wide open.

Oh, don't do it on my account.
I just worry for him.
This was always Barbara's pattern.
Break up with him, rip out his heart,
then reel him back in all over again.

are about to sit down and watch a movie together.

You know i can't promise that.
But i am listening.
People are getting sick. It's some kind of virus.
It only seems to be affecting the returned.
It may have started with Arthur Holmes.
He was sick when he came back.
Then he disappeared.
Has anyone else? No.
Not yet. But it's spreading.
Fast.
We need help.
Thank you for the report.
Keep me apprised of the situation.

"Keep me apprised"?
There's nothing more i can do for you at this time.
You knew about this already.
If the situation changes...
These people are suffering.
They can end up dying again...
Permanently.
If you know something,
you've got to tell us.
I have no useful information to give you at this time.
You're lying.
Consider this, agent bellamy.
It's very possible that this is the natural course of things.
They return, they get sick, they vanish.

Or care.

but she wouldn't let me.

Why?
How bad does this have to get?

they were victims of a fire at your family's factory.
They returned and were murdered.
Your dad asked me not to pursue it anymore,
so I'm not going to.
Does he think my family murdered those men?
I don't know. It was a long time ago.
Only Margaret knows all the details.

Sit down.
Please.
This is hard on you, coming back.
It's hard on everyone.
I imagine for you, things are especially difficult.
So many people are angry with you.
It hasn't been that bad.
I know it's why you went back to your lover
when you first returned.
Shame.
Unrelenting shame.
All the things you have done...
To your husband, your child.
Of course you feel ashamed.
It would be inhuman not to.
I want to go home.
Look at the woman your daughter has become without you.
They were better off.
And you know that, too.
Please.
I'm sorry. Please.
But that doesn't erase what happened.
Jacob still drowned in that river because of you.
If i could change the past, then i would.
But that's silly.
We can't change the past.
Only the future.
Ever wonder why i got picked?
[ Coughs ]
Why do i come back and not other people?
It seems like whoever's making the decisions up there
has got some kind of suck-ass criteria.

Why?
To be punished for our sins.
