Lord, I always put my trust in you.

I made a big leap of faith,

and I thought it was the right thing.

But I find myself 30 years in the future and...

... I've experienced the impossible.

Why are the taking the BestTime snacks?

They took the piano, too.

They're punishing us.

For Shanice escaping.

We've got to get out of here.

I asked you for a sign.

This must be the sign,

but... help me understand.

What am I to do?

Hey.

They need to talk to you.

You want to tell us how you escaped

from the hotel the other day?

Do you want to tell me when you plan on

letting us out of here for good?

Since as far as I can tell, you have

no lawful grounds to detain us.

You took a huge risk.

Potentially exposing your husband and daughter...

To what? They're my family.

Look, Shanice, you know we're not the enemy.

Michigan Penal Code, Article 328.

"A person who commits unlawful imprisonment

is guilty of a felony".

Just tell us who you were working with.

Are they the same ones who leaked to the public

that you all are missing persons?

That there are 4,400 of you?

"Punishable...

by not more than 15 years

or a fine of not more than $20,000, or both".

So have you all figured out how we apparently

travelled through time?

We don't know that's what happened.

So how come the last thing I remember

it was 2015...

and now it's 2021?

Maybe you were taken somewhere?

- Maybe someone doesn't want you to remember? - Ew, who?

Well, that's what we want to find out, but most importantly,

we want to make sure that everybody's okay now.

Okay, well, we'd be more okay if we could get out of here.

And if we didn't have to wear

these truly hideous synthetic fabrics.

Like, can you do something about this...

travesty?

Uh...

I don't know anything about how Shanice got out.

Really? Because she was last seen

headed to the bathroom with you.

Yo.

- She's just a kid. - And kids lie, too.

Okay, you really think interrogating minors

is the best way to figure...

Well, I think we were just about done here anyway.

Hey, come on, I'll have one of the guards take you back.

Why did you say what you said the other night?

You said to tell Jharrel that...

Manny's all right, that he's sorry for everything.

How do you know Jharrel's brother?

I don't know him.

Then why were you talking about him?

Does it have something to do with why you all are here?

No. I-I-I guess it was just something I heard.

From who? From Jharrel?

No. Just...

people talk.

So it was what... a prank?

Is this whole thing some kind of prank?

We are trying to help you all.

You need to be honest with us, not jerk us around...

Look, I can't eat the new food.

And they took away the BestTime Bars.

I love the BestTime Bars.

I've cooperated since we've got here.

But there has been no movement to get us out.

It would help if people weren't leaking information

to the press and escaping custody.

Those sound like your problems.

Not mine.

And what is your problem, Reverend?

I lost something that night.

On Belle Isle.

And I need to get it to someone.

A woman and a child.

No one is going anywhere.

Certainly not back to the scene of what happened.

And families aren't being notified until we know more.

How about this?

You give me their names,

and I'll see if I can locate this woman and child.

And in return...

you tell me everything you know

about how you got here.

And Belle Isle?

We'll see.

First, Shanice Murray.

She escaped.

I think she knows more than she's letting on.

Well...

everyone has secrets.

Sure you can't stay any longer?

I'm on the swing shift later.

I'd love to.

But I've got to get back.

My father has me leading the service today.

Guess you haven't told them yet?

I...

I'm just waiting for the right moment.

I want to make sure they really understand.

Understand why their precious, perfect baby boy

would end up with someone like me?

Darlene... it's not like that.

I'm going on 17 weeks now.

You said you wanted to keep it.

- That you wanted us to do this together. - I do!

Because I can't afford a baby on my own.

You're not on your own.

I'm with you.

I thank the Lord every day

He brought you to me, Darlene.

But they've got their old ways of thinking.

I've got to show them that they're wrong.

You trust me, right?

Yeah.

- Yeah? - Yeah...

Do you really think intimidation tactics

like those interrogations are gonna work?

We have to use every tactic we can.

- Keisha, they are scared. - Shanice Murray escaped.

Yes, because they're being locked up here for no reason.

Well, I want to know who she's working with.

Where's this I.T. guy anyway?

Present!

And she wasn't working with anyone.

That's what I wanted to show you.

Uh, Keisha and Jharrel, right?

Cool to meet you.

I'm Soraya. Texpert.

You like that? I'm making it a thing.

They hired me to shore up the security in this place,

which is, yeah, lacking.

But look.

Here's the footage from the cameras where Shanice escaped.

Okay, we've seen this footage. Seems like the doors just...

opened.

Then someone moved the cameras remotely,

so we can't see how she opened the door.

No. Her body language says that she wasn't prepared for this.

Wasn't planning on escaping.

She took advantage of a door opening.

Are you a body language expert, too?

Oh, I watch a lot of reality television.

People say it's trash, but...

I say it's a masterclass on human nature.

So we're listening to a specialist

that trained in the Ex-Wives franchise?

Uh... technically I went to M.I.T. and Quantico, too.

But that was a lot more boring.

What's not boring is this gig.

Had to get clearance to take it, but...

I had no idea it would be... this.

Yeah, and what is this?

Because I can't get anything real out of them.

Well, it's clear they have no idea what happened to them.

Which is consistent with reportings of alien encounters.

Aliens? Seriously?

Maybe? But the simplest explanation

is that they time travelled, clearly against their will.

So... who did that to them?

I'm sorry, time travel is the simplest explanation?

Except time travel isn't a thing.

- Mm. - So what's the logical explanation?

Well, it is illogical to think that we have all the tools

or the means to explain everything in the universe.

So...

why didn't we let Shanice Murray have a minute to catch up

with her family after she was cleared by medical?

That is a great question.

Good point...

about the family.

We cleared the husband after her visit, but...

maybe he can get something out of her that I can't.

Maybe she'll tell him what she knows.

Yo, what's her deal?

Is she single?

I'm just here to talk.

We, uh...

we saw on the news.

Is that what Shanice is a part of?

That 4,400 people?

So you didn't have anything to do

with leaking it to the press?

Leak what? I don't know anything.

Shanice just shows up at my doorstep after being gone
