Channel Zero

Are we home? - I think so.

I wanted a family, so that's what the house made for me.

Jules, he's in the house.

You're not supposed to be here!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - You followed us out?

Don't you want to find some way

where we can still be a family?

Well, there's a guaranteed way to get him

back inside the House.

It's if you go with him.

I'm not stepping foot back in that place.

Margot!

No more. Please, I'll go! I'll go!

You're starving.

I can wait another day.

It's been long enough.

It's okay. I wrote it down.

There was this lake that we would go to in the summer.

And when the light started to go away,

we would walk out into this big field,

and we would look for UFOs.

And you would say,

"It's getting dark.

It's time to go home."

You picked up an apple and said,

if ever an apple just like this

"Rolls out of the lake,

"Don't take a bite.

The fish might be fishing for us."

What was that?

A few afternoons.

Hey. You were looking for me?

Yeah. You've been going on a lot of walks lately.

Yeah. I was just trying to clear my head.

You know they're suffering. It's not fair.

Well, I don't have anything left to feed them.

I already gave them everything I don't want to remember.

I just got so dizzy.

What?

What?

Wait--that wasn't there before.

The world just rearranged itself.

So, the house showed up somewhere new?

Somewhere they speak French.

How'd you hear about this place?

My friends came last year.

Everybody's like, "It'll change your life!"

Hey, Jules.

You can relax.

It's not gonna come while you're with me.

Whatever it is, it likes to get you alone, doesn't it?

Yeah. I figured it might've starved to death by now.

No. They don't starve to death.

Not while their food source is still out there.

They just hungrier and hungrier.

You have to be careful. - Wait.

I'm just trying to help you. - Don't.

Whatever it is--

Don't.

Whatever it is,

it hasn't eaten in so long that if it does get you...

it's gonna take everything.

So, just--

just keep your eyes open, all right?

Wait. This--this wasn't on the way

from the No-End House to Margot's last time.

Yeah, well, it is now,

'cause everything got changed around.

It's only a couple blocks away.

It's a little close for comfort--believe me--

but I--you know, not really my call.

What?

What you don't understand is that this house is an organism.

It has instincts.

It has an appetite.

It has a will to survive.

And the more I understand it,

the more I admire it.

I wish you would, too.

What is that? A sales pitch?

You sound psychotic, okay?

And I'm not buying

whatever it is that you're selling.

I came here to get Margot out,

and that is exactly what I am going to do,

so fu-- you, and fu-- the House!

Now take me to her.

All right.

All right.

Another walk?

Yeah. Everything's different now.

You hungry?

I was thinking about something.

Yeah?

We should close the door.

What do you mean?

Well, to the House.

Popped up somewhere new out there to lure people in,

and--lock the door, or bar it, or set the house on fire.

Whatever this thing is, it's--

it's evolved into it, so I just--

I--I don't know if it's gonna be that easy.

But what if it is? We should at least try

so people don't come in and--

No!

No.

Motherfu--er.

Come here.

Come closer.

Come closer.

Touch her.

What are you?

Some psychological tumor?

What does it matter?

I'm not the same person.

Hey, um, just tried you a couple times already.

Just wanted to see how orientation is going.

I just really need you right now,

so if you could give me a call...

Margot?

Touch me.

Just call me, Jules! Hey, uh--

I know you want to, so I'm giving you permission

to run away--you're really fu--ing good at it!

I'm sure you're busy with your new life or whatever.

Give me a call. I know you want to,

so I'm giving you permission to run away!

You're really fu--ing good at it!

Give me a call. - Jules.

Jules?

What are you doing?

I'm still thinking about closing the door.

You know what I think?

What?

I think you care about other people

more than you care about yourself.

Trust me.

I know you.

I can see the real you.

You can always count on one thing...

As long as you're here, I will always,

always be there for you.

Come on. Let's go inside.

Let me out!

Let me out!

Is Seth coming back soon?

John?

Yes?

Listen. Margot's got this really crazy idea in her head.

I'm a little worried.

Is it crazy?

I just don't think it's a good idea to do anything

here that, you know, could upset the ecosystem.

You know what I mean?

No, not really.

I'm worried that she's gonna try and do something stupid

like burn the house down or something.
