All the returned that had loved ones here in town,
they let them stay.
The rest of them they took.
Where? Nobody knows.
That man. He wasn't dad.
I know, ray.
Are you gonna invite me in?
All of our troubles started with that girl.
We're making my bad luck chili.
Oh, wait. That's before your time.
Maggie: Are you sure about this, dad?
We can be friends. And i think we both need one.
They were better off without you.
You just let go.
Rachael, can you hear me?
Oh, m-my baby.
People are getting sick.
There's nothing more i can do for you.

[ Sighs ]
You talk to Marty?
Maggie: He's gone.
What?
He took all his stuff,
left a note saying he was looking for answers.
Haven't heard from him since.
I left him a message about my mom.
And he didn't call you?
Well, that doesn't sound like him.
Are you sure he's okay? No.
But I'm tired of asking.
I wish i understood.
Why do they come back
just so we can lose them all over again?
Maggie...
What exactly did you see last night?
I told you. [ Sighs ]
Margaret and your mom were talking,
and then she was just... Gone.
Did Margaret seem upset?
No.
But your mom was.
But... Margaret definitely saw her disappear.
Yes.
I mean... I think.
It... it was dark, but... Yeah.
You okay?
[ Doorbell rings ]
Maggie.
Aunt Lucille.
Is my grandmother here?
Can i help you with something? Maggie.
Are you sure?
Oh, Maggie. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Why is this happening?
How can they just disappear like that?
[ Door opens ]
Margaret: Be careful with that, Jacob.
We want to be able to fly it again.
Honey, go wash your hands.
There's oatmeal in the kitchen.
Ma...
Margaret: What is it?
It's my mom.
Last night, you were in the park with her when...
Last night?
No, i was home all evening.
What's happened?
Weren't you with her when she... Disappeared?
Disappeared?
What do you mean?
Elaine said she saw you. I...
The last time i saw Barbara
was at Frederick's house yesterday morning.
She seemed perfectly fine.
Maybe she's just left town.
No.
No, as far as we know, she's not coming back.
Maggie...
Maybe Elaine was mistaken.
It was dark.
Yeah.
Hmm? Yeah.
Um... I...
I thought you were the last to see her.
I thought...
I was hoping you could tell me how she was.
Oh, i wish i could.
I'm sorry, Maggie.
Well, thank you.
I should get going.
[ Door opens ]
[ Door slams ]
[ Inhales sharply ]
[ Groans ]
What is this? Where am i?
You're in a government facility,
and you're receiving medical treatment.
This is just a sedative.
You were extremely distressed when you came in.
I don't want a sedative. I'm okay.
I have it, don't i...
The virus the returned have been getting.
Yes. You do.
What do you know about it?
It appears to be a mutated form of the Spanish flu,
possibly with a precursor virus that was harbored in birds.
It's contagious, but only amongst the returned
and only as long as symptoms present.
Well, that's good, right?
You know what it is, so you can make a vaccine.
Unfortunately, the virus is mutating too quickly for that.
So, what? There's nothing you can do?
We have a treatment.
It's experimental, and it's not a cure.
But it suppresses symptoms temporarily.
Is that safe?
We don't know.
Would you prefer the injection in your arm or your hip?
Whoa, whoa. Wait.
I want to talk to the woman, the one i report to.
I'm not taking anything until i see her.
I think that would be unwise.
Why?
Because your fever will escalate
and you'll become delirious.
You'll bleed from your ears and your nose,
and eventually your skin will take on a bluish tint
due to a lack of oxygen in your blood.
And then you'll disappear.
Get her. Now.

Exactly what part of me saving your life
do you object to, agent bellamy?
And let's not forget you're the one who called me.
I just want some answers.
Don't you think I'm at least entitled to that?
We think a returned brought back this virus
from the early 1900s.
When the virus went through their metabolism, it mutated.
Now only other returned seem to be able to catch it.
As you know, it spread in arcadia,
but it was also brought here.
How many returned have died? Disappeared?
So far, we've lost 66.
The actual virus has a 23% mortality rate.
But if you reach the final stages of this illness,
you will... You disappear.
I know.
You said we should just let them get infected,
that this might be the natural course
of a returned life cycle.
That's right.
Then why treat them?
Just because this may be normal
doesn't mean we shouldn't collect all the data we can,
including data on how they respond to treatments.
Did you invent the treatment?
No. I'm not a scientist.
So, what do you do here?
I'm a statistician.
A statistician? Mm-hmm.
So you're gonna tell me this is an accounting firm?
Take the medication, agent bellamy.

Is that a scar on your neck?
It's a birthmark.

He has a birthmark on his neck.
It's in the shape of a Crescent.
I hadn't noticed it before.

You can have one of your own.
Just get a tattoo.
Oh, that's it?
We were just getting to know each other.

over what happened to her mother.
I don't know

This is... A difficult time for Maggie.

If you'd ever bother to check out our website, you'd know.
Okay, ray, seriously?
"Returneds abducted my cat."
"Returned screwed up my Wi-Fi."
"Returneds keyed my car."
This is ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous.

People who don't want to be victimized by the returned.
Okay, ray.

No, I'm not. Not anymore.
Because I'm doing something constructive.

You're lying.

You've been lying ever since you came back.
I've been looking out for you ever since i came back.
How dare you?
What difference does any of this make?
She shouldn't have come back in the first place.
What did you do to her?
Everyone's better off without her.

She's the reason Jacob died,
the reason this family fell apart,
and if there's one thing I'm here to do,
it's fix this family.

I was dead the whole time.
That's one way of looking at it.
How would you look at it?
From where i sit, you're one lucky son of a bitch.
You got a second chance.
And a third.
You cheated death.
You have no idea how this feels.
You're right.
I don't.
The first time...
1934...
I drowned?
That's right.
There was a flood.
In arcadia?
Mm-hmm.
You were six months old.
Then you came back in Chicago, 1972.
Child welfare must have assumed that you'd been abandoned,
and they placed you for adoption.
Agent bellamy, until today,
you were something of a snag in my calculations.
I believed you were the only one who wasn't born in arcadia.
I want to meet my birth parents.
You've already met them.
The thompsons.

He seems legitimate.

This is a family business,
and I've never heard of any addisons in arcadia.

And besides, ma, not every family
has been here since the dinosaurs.
Jacob, help me pick some flowers from the garden.
No, thanks, grandma.

would be good for us.

And if this Brian Addison...
If he can help us make that happen,
i just don't want to miss that chance.

to hear what he has to say.
Could be a great opportunity.
If this is what you really want,
you know I'm on your side.
Yeah. Good.
I remember you.
From before, when we could be outside back in arcadia.
That's right.
How do you like it here?
[ Sighs ]
Mama and daddy wanted to leave before they...
You know... Before they went away.
They were sick, Jenny.
The people here didn't want you to be sick, too.
Neither did your parents.
They're not coming back, are they?
I don't think so. No.

i want to bring you back to arcadia with me.

Why do grownups lie?
They don't.
Well, not all the time, anyway.
Why do you ask?
Did somebody lie to you?
No. N-no. Just asking.
Well, sometimes telling a lie
is kinder than the truth.
And sometimes grownups lie
to protect another person's feelings.

you like their new haircut

he never believed he was who he said he was.

Congratulations, agent bellamy.
Your observation period is over.
Terrific. You're gonna spring me?
Take these with you.
Remember that you need to inject yourself
with one full ampul of medication every 12 hours.
As long as you do that,
you should remain symptom free and you won't be contagious.
There's only 20 ampuls here.
That's just a 10-day supply.

What's that about?
Nothing.
It's just a hobby of mine.
Plane crashes are your hobby?
That's right.
And they hired you for that?
They hired me for my ability to predict things
that many people think aren't subject to prediction.
Are you saying you can predict things about the returned?
When it will happen again, how many will come,
how long before they'll disappear.
Everything in nature follows a pattern
and is therefore subject to prediction.
How do you define nature?

when she came to dinner?
Was it my fault?
No, Jacob.
It was sweet of you to invite her.
It was her time, and she knew it.
She just needed someone to show her how.
Is that why you went to see her in the park?
