Reports have begun filing in
about an electrical fire that broke out overnight
at what fire department spokesman Bob McCormick
described as "an illegal colored speakeasy"
on the outskirts of town.
The blaze claimed scores of lives.
among them, the Negro patrons responsible...
Lilly, you've barely touched your breakfast.
...along with several citizens
who showed up to help treat the wounded.
Including beloved local butcher Stanley Kersh.
Derry police also reported including amongst the remains
the charred body of notorious
fugitive child killer Hank Grogan.
Way to go, boys in blue. And rest in peace, Stanley.
No one could filet a tenderloin quite like you.

ROSE: The Augury has passed.
Its feeding cycle is complete.
It sleeps.
How many died at the Black Spot?
Reports are still coming in,
but according to the coroner, 23.
And how many children for the-- for the full cycle?
Seventeen. Seventeen young souls.
DYANI: All those people.
And not a damn thing we can do about it but watch.
It feels wrong.
We do as much as we can for as many as we can.
Focus on the lives saved.
The ones protected because we keep this thing in its cage.

Come on, girl. Come on.

We thought it'd be better if she heard it
from us about Rich.
I don't think so, baby.
But Dad said the thing was asleep.
It wasn't that thing that lit the fire last night.
This town is the monster! You're not going anywhere!
HANK: And neither is Ronnie.
You sure this is necessary?
Unless you want my neighbors wondering
what a dead man's doing walking down my driveway.
I mean, you think they'll notice?
I don't exactly look like Mr. Hanlon.
In this town?
Yeah, point taken.
Let's go. You stay. I'll be back in an hour.

Colonel, we have orders
to take the pillar three clicks north.
Change of plan. Pillar's going back to base
- for further testing. - Uh, wait.
The plan has always been to move inward.
Toward the center of Derry.
No, we pen this thing one pillar at a time.
Uh, what you're suggesting,
it's like leaving the cage door open.
You heard Hallorann. The entity is asleep.
Now we can analyze the pillar's physical properties.
See if Dick or the eggheads can't use that data
to find the other 12 pillars even faster.
Relax, Major. We're in the homestretch.
You done good.

I got friends in McGill up in Montreal.
They can get the Grogans set up with fresh papers, all of that.

Gotta get him across the border.

SHAW: You see what's happening out there, Leroy?
Americans are at each other's throats,
and it's only getting worse.
Anti-nuke crazies, the women's movement,
race riots.
This country is slowly fracturing
into a thousand jagged, ill-fitting pieces.
I am only trying to prevent another civil war.
Americans have stopped hearing one another.
They only want to fight
over who gets which piece of the damn pie
while the rest of the world eats us alive.
And the one thing that makes people really listen
is fear.
Listen? Or you mean obey?
I mean a nation of laws requires a system
where people actually follow them.
Anything else is anarchy. You know that, Major.
You never planned to cage it.
You were always planning to free it,
to release it in your own fucking backyard!
Look at this town. What happened last night?
Horrific. But guess what?
The streets are calm today.
No rioting, no looting, no unrest.
The fear.
It settles on every living person
it touches like a fog,
like a goddamned anesthetic.
LEROY: So you want to make America Derry?
At what cost?
How many dead fucking kids along the way?
