Keep cool.
[song stops]
-What the fuck is he doing? -What did I just say?
Sorry, officer.
[officer] License?
How much you had to drink?
Uh, nothing.
We're coming from a funeral.
I'm sorry about your friend.
It was brave what you did.
Drive safe. Go straight home.

Sure.

I know you wanted to go to the funeral, but with everything that's happened...
moving is for the best.

Mr. Sosa.
Welcome to my humble abode.
-So, you're the surprise? -Surprise!
Everyone's in the kitchen.
Can I offer you some full-bodied vintage red?
[French] I'm good. Thanks.
You're late.
Yeah, well, I have to get up early.
[sighs] So, what're we doing here?
I've figured it all out.
We're just in a bad dimension is all.
And everyone here has a crappy, pathetic life.
You going somewhere with this?
We don't have to stay here.
We can follow OA.
To another dimension. I already taught Angie the movements.
All we gotta do is do them. Right now.
Prairie's dead, Steve.
-No. She traveled. -No.
It's over. Move on.
You still think she made it all up?
[scoffs] Just 'cause she had some books under her bed
doesn't mean what she told us wasn't true.
-Hey, look, I don't wanna argue. -Then don't.
Own what happened.
All right.
You want me to own what happened, Steve? Fine.
We were all scared. Okay?
We didn't know what else to do, and the movements were fucking weird.
We confused the gunman, he got distracted and got tackled.
[punches fist] That's what happened.
How did she know to be outside the cafeteria at that exact moment?
She was mentally ill. Okay? She was on medication.
-Maybe she followed us. -But to stand in that exact spot
where a single bullet could strike right through her heart?
Buck, you really wanna give her credit for getting shot?
You just don't wanna believe because it's easier not to.
'Cause you're good at school
and you got your fancy scholarship and you think you're gonna be, like,
Barack Obama or some shit.
You know it's a bad dimension,
but you've got a good seat in it and you don't wanna mess that up.
And you've got no seat in it.
You’ve got nothing.
Dude, fuck off, man.
No, it's okay.
'Cause he's wrong.
I've got everything.
I've got you guys.
So what?
You're gonna be like our team captain now?
She put me in charge of the movements.
Okay, look.
Even if I still believed this shit, I have a life here.
-Okay? I have brothers. -[Steve scoffs]
Who are you kidding, man?
Go to college,
go to another dimension.
Either way, your little bros are fucked.
You piece of shit!
[Steve groans]
Oh, you-- Get the fuck off of him!
He's just pissed 'cause he knows I'm right.
I should go.
My parents think I'm at a goodbye thing with my chorus friends.
Yeah, I should probably get going, too.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[slams table]
[Prairie on laptop] I need help.
I need to cross a border that's hard to define.
Maybe you know what I'm talking about.
Or… you don't, but you feel it.
[Steve] We make a video like she did.
We'll recruit people and I'll teach 'em the movements.
-Let's do this. -Okay, wait.
-What? -That...
It's gonna pull the freaks out of the woodwork. You know that, right?
-Then we'll screen them. I don't know. -Okay, how?
I don't know. Look, just record it and we'll figure out the details later.
There are people online
saying you should've been shot the second you stood up.
They're pissed you faced down a semi-automatic
with something they have no words for.
So, unless you have a plan to screen those people,
and that plan includes, like, a fucking metal detector,
I can't-- I-- I'm out.
Okay? I...

Dude! You can't be in here.
I'm really sorry. The door was open.
There's a woman in my mirror.
[Steve] What?
She sang just like OA described. I think it was Rachel.
[Steve gasps]
I kept hearing like this strange, buzzing sound in my room like...
[imitates buzzing]
And I couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
And I... [inhales deeply]
...looked in my mirror and there she was.
-You mean Rachel from-- -Hap's basement.
Holy shit. Hey, where's my pants?
Just because I'm, like, in your pants, doesn’t mean I'm the keeper of your pants,
'cause we both wear the pants, Steve.
What did Rachel say?
She didn't say anything. She sang.
-That's how I knew it was her. -[exhales]
All right, let's go. Come on.
-[panting] Are you sure you saw her? -I'm positive.
-She was there. -Oh. Okay.
Well, come on!
I can't run that fast.
[both panting]
Hey, maybe it only works at night.
I mean, was it still dark outside?
Yeah.
Did she look scared or anything?
Kind of.
She was confused or upset.
I'm not sure.
Maybe OA's in trouble.
Why did she come to you?
Maybe because I still leave my door open.
[chuckles]
Oh, I can't wait to rub this in French's stupid fucking face.

[woman on PA] Attention, library guests.

[Abel] Alfonso.
Oh. Hey, Mr. Johnson.
Please, call me Abel.
Thanks for meeting me here.
It was such a beautiful service.
I'm so glad you were there to share it with us.
I am sorry we didn't really get a chance to talk.
We're talking now.
Was there anything in...
particular that you wanted to speak about?
Well, um...
I promised you that I'd prove that Prairie's story was true.
But instead...
I proved the opposite.
I'm not sure I follow.
I, um...
I broke into your house.
But I was only looking for something that would help.
Instead, I found an Amazon box under her bed.
With books on Russian oligarchs,
near death experiences,
angels and, uh...
the Iliad...
by Homer.
[Abel chuckles]
I was wondering what happened to those books.
Her trauma counselor suggested we get them for her.
He thought it might help
if we accepted her story,
and sat, talked about it around the table.
Okay.
So this counselor, he didn't believe her either?
I'm not sure it was a question of belief.
Well, either the story she told is true or it isn't.
You think she lied?
Not intentionally.
She was mentally ill, right?
If you think she used those books to make up her story...
Well, I can tell you she was
talking to you and your friends
before she ever got them.
[phone vibrates]
What's up?
[Buck] I'm on my way home from practice. I need you guys to come over right away.
[man, on earphones] It does not matter what you have experienced
over the course of the last 18 hours or so.
This meditation is a place
for you to release everything that weighs you down.
Choice occurrences....
[Steve] Hurry the fuck up, Jesse!
[Jesse] I'm right here, man.
[French] Why not just tell us what this is supposed to be?
It's supposed to be awesome.
All right? You'll see.
-[Mrs. Vu] Hi, Alfonso. -Hey, Mrs. Vu.
[Mrs. Vu] You guys can't hang out too long.
Buck, you need to finish packing. We move in two days.
[Buck] Come on. The surprise is in my room.
-[Steve] Dude! -[Buck] No.
What the fuck?
Mom! Where's my mirror?
-[Mrs. Vu] We gave it to the Goodwill. -[Buck] Why'd you take it? I needed it.
-[Buck] Goodwill? -[Mrs. Vu] I can't do this right now.
Can you please just tell us what's happening?
[sighs]
Buck saw Rachel.
Inside his mirror.
-She sang to him. -[scoffs]
He didn't see Rachel. He thought he saw Rachel.
I saw and heard her.
I just know it was her.
Look,
when I found those books under her bed, Buck...
I was so upset.
And when I looked in the mirror...
I thought I saw Homer staring back at me.
You see, emotions can cause--
You thought she made up Homer's head wound
because she'd been staring at yours all night.
So you saw him.
It was a trick of the brain.
That was different.
I was...
visited.
Visited. Okay.
I'm not asking you to believe in OA.
I'm asking you to believe in me.
Something happened through that mirror.
[footsteps approaching]
I told you to tag whatever you wanted to keep.
I'm not driving down to Goodwill at this hour.
-Well, I'll drive. -She's definitely not going with you.
-Excuse me? -Okay, look, um...
I think...
we've all been through a lot recently.
And this mirror's obviously important to Buck, Mrs. Vu. So...
how about I drive us to Goodwill?
We'll be back in no time.
We can take my mom's station wagon.
[man] That's it for the night. Close the dock!
-No, wait! Wait! -[man] Meet you guys out front!
-We're looking for a mirror. -Sorry, we're closed.
Our friend's father gave away his vanity, but it was a mistake.
-We'd like to get it back. -It was from Crestwood.
We didn't take that piece.
The truck comes by and we take what we think we can sell.
What do you do with the rest of it?
It goes to a bigger distribution center--
Will you just tell us where it is?
It's probably in Gary. Jesus.
[sighs]
Hey! Don't hang around here, it gets creepy at night.
Gary is like, two hours away.
-We have to get it back! -[French] Come on, Buck.
What'd she sing?
Like, Steve told us Rachel sang to you. What was it?
[hums three notes]
[repeats pattern]
What three notes are those, Buck?
B, B, A.
[gasps]
[chuckles] Holy shit.
How did Rachel know to call me BBA? How would she know that?
Maybe OA told her, somehow.
-[scoffs] That's ridiculous. -Well, say it's true, what does that mean?
Well, it means, "Go with BBA."
Or...
like, "BBA knows."
Knows what?
What to do.
[chuckles] I don't know what to do.
Oh, it isn't good for you boys to be here,
after the board hearing and all.
Well, all that's happened.
Buck.
You wouldn't play a trick on us like this, or...
-No! -...say something to get us all together?
I mean, I wouldn't blame you. Not in the least.
We're never gonna have anybody like OA in our lives ever again.
I didn't even know what the notes were until Jesse asked me.
Yeah, that's true.
[Steve] Oh, come on, BBA, you know Buck doesn't lie.
Just come with us to get the mirror. Obviously, Rachel wants to talk to you.
But my cousin Amy and Uncle Carl out West are expecting me. I'm taking the train.
Uncle Carl isn't doing well. He probably doesn't have much longer.
I've got my tickets already, see? Um...
Grand Rapids to Chicago, Chicago to Redding.
I was gonna drive, but driving isn't as much fun when it's just you.
Thought I might meet some nice people on the train.
Look, we can all drive together.
Gary's on the way to Chicago, and we can drop you there after.
Hmm.
Come on, BBA.
Oh.
Look, I... Um...
[inhales deeply] Oh, gosh.
[exhales deeply]
Split up.
[indistinct announcement on PA]
[sighs] There it is.
Steve! It's over here.
-[Steve] Is that it? -Yeah.
[both sigh]
[Steve] When the sun goes down,
Rachel will be back.
-I know it. -She might even say something.
Hmm. I guess I can wait.
I'll have to call Amtrak about getting the next train.
And you have to call your parents, all of you.
Yeah, no problem, whatever.
Don't whatever me, Steven. I won't go through all that with your parents again.
Just screw his parents. We almost died. Everything's different now.
Oh, I'm not sure everyone sees it that way, Angie.
Well, who cares how everyone sees it? We were there.
When Steve stood up, or when you all did and then...
when the gun went off, I thought that--
It is weird...
that she was right there in that exact spot.
[Betty] Almost like she drew the bullet into herself.
And away from us.
Look, we call our parents and we wait for dark.
It's that simple.
[girl] Uh, hey.
Uh, can we stay here until dark?
[girl] Um...
No. Sorry, I, um...
We close at five.
And you're not allowed to, but, um...
you could stay with us.
Me and my... my dad. Um...
We-- We would be honored if you could stay with us.
Honored?
I know who you are.
[chuckles softly]
[French] Don’t push so hard, I'll fall!
That's what she said.
-[Angie laughs] -Seriously?
Take it easy, Steve, it might be hard going down here.
She said that, too?
[all laugh]
[French] Wow. You two are made for each other.
Will these work to tie it down?
Yeah, well, we'll have to hoist it.
Hoist it how?
-We'll get on either side of the car and-- -Oh, with our elastic arms?
You got a better idea?
Um, can't we just take the mirror off?
[Angie] Do you see all those little, like, peaks over the windows and doorways?
Early churches stole that shit from the pagans,
but they didn't realize that stuff was to remind you of a vag.
[Angie and Steve laugh]
So, every church in the fucking country, like every church door,
it's just, like, open vages,
just like welcoming folks home. [laughs]
That's blasphemous, Angie.
Well, only...
only if you think God didn't create vaginas.
We should put it over here.
It's almost time.
[Betty] You're sure it's okay, Sonja?
Yeah, my dad will be thrilled. He’s the youth pastor.
Maybe we could invite our Bible study group
to come meet you all?
Oh, we'd love to thank your dad in person, Sonja, of course.
[Sonja] Great.
Um, bathroom's just down the hall.
Use whatever you need out of the kitchen. Don't worry about replacing anything.
It's just so great to have you all here. Let me know if you need anything more.
Why are you being so nice to us?
When I was little, I asked my dad why we let people sleep in the sanctuary.
He said it was for any pilgrims of faith who might be passing through.
[Betty] Hmm.
That's what you are, isn't it?
[Betty] Hmm.
We just have to wait a little longer.
Until the sun goes down.
[French sighs]
[church bell tolls]
[Buck] Give it time.

No, of course we're friends now, but...
There was this woman...
who disappeared when we were kids.
Got kidnapped or something.
Shit, that's awful.
Yeah. And when she came back...
she wouldn't tell anyone what happened to her.
Not even the FBI.
But she told us.
For some reason, she told us.
I just read that article.
That blind girl.
I know, but she wasn't blind anymore.
She...
I don't know.
I don't know if she was an angel
or a liar
or a schizophrenic.
And now she's dead.
She's dead...
and we almost died with her.
Hey, I'm just sittin' here, brother, just listening.
My friends...
they think that she's trying to send us some sort of sign.
Through a mirror.
A message.
A message from the other side?
It's possible.
No, but it's not.
It's just a fucking mirror, and they all think--
What do you think?
I think I'm ruining my future.
[sighs]
If your people are serious about wantin' to see a sign...
you'll need to talk to my Aunt Lily.
She just moved to Nebraska, but it'll be worth the drive.

Buck will let it go.
Aunt Lily, she comes highly recommended.
Yeah, I see that. Four stars on Yelp.
Is she gonna talk to Rachel or make us pancakes? [scoffs]

-[Lily] Hello. -Hi.
Hi.
-[Lily] Welcome to my home. -Hi.
Tell me, who has passed?
Her name is Rachel.
Wait, is Rachel dead, or is she in another dimension?
Dimension?
You mean the seven heavens?
Why don't you tell us?
[Lily] Why don't we just focus on why you're here?
Who is Rachel to you?
None of us knew her.
So, a stranger made contact?
That's so odd.
Perhaps one of you is a medium and not yet aware of it.
How did Rachel make herself known to you?
She was inside my mirror.
[glass rattling]
Is that broken? Cover that up!
What were you thinking, bringing that into my house?
This is very bad.
She'll be looking for a new place to reside.
Rachel’s spirit could come into one of my mirrors.
I don't want a spirit trapped in my house. Help me. We need to cover the mirrors.
There's two upstairs. One up the hall, one in the bedroom.
Cover that! Hurry!
-[Angie] Do I have to cover these, too? -Yes. Cover them. Yes.
-This is insane. -Angie.
This? This is what happens when children are involved.
-Tell me. -Children and animals are just...
You know, when you're done, you can go.
-It's for the best, no charge, just go. -She didn't mean any disrespect.
Certain spirits will do anything for an object to rest in.
I need you to leave.
[Buck] We haven't even tried to contact her.
Because it’s not safe.
-We can't leave without trying. -There has to be a way. Please.
I'm gonna have to charge you for the deluxe package.
Oh... Yeah, that's fine, it's-- We'll take the deluxe.
[clinking]
Inside this dish I have placed a blank photographic plate.
In a moment, I shall alter the light in the room and remove the lid.
The plate serves as a communication vessel for the spirits.
When Rachel joins us, she'll be able to leave a message on the plate,
which I will then interpret for the group.
I warn you,
she may be shy...
or offended.
It may take hours.
She may give us only the barest scratch.
We must be patient.
And we must be brave.
Are we agreed?
-Mm-hm. -Mm-hm.
[Lily] Please, join hands on the tabletop.

and the clarity of our minds will light her way.
