Under the Dome

Two weeks ago,

an invisible dome crashed down on Chester's Mill,

cutting us off from the rest of the world.

Why the dome is here or what mysteries lie ahead,

we still don't know.

Every day it tests our limits,

bringing out the best and the worst in us.

Some say we'll be stuck here forever,

but we will never stop fighting to find a way out.

Chester's Mill sentences Dale Barbara to death.

The egg... it's doing something.

This has to be the way the dome picks a new leader.

She's your monarch.

Big Jim, you're a sick bastard.

The butterfly makes some kind of spot.

Why is it getting dark in the middle of the day?

My wife, Pauline, before she passed,

she kept saying one thing over and over, like a mantra:

"The pink stars are falling."

Our whole town is as good as dead

if we let this fallinto the wrong hands.

How do we protect Chester's Mill and save Barbie?

We can't.

Dad, what's happening?

Now, son, do it now!

Now, Junior!

Dad?

What's happening?

What's that sound?

Pull the lever, son.

Do it, Junior!

- Do it now! - I'm afraid.

What the hell is that?

Look!

Look out! Move!

Linda, what's happening?

They're unconscious

but still breathing.

Jim, let me help.

What, set you free?

There are people out there, your people, that need help.

Nice try, Barbie. Do it, son.

No, Junior, Junior, look out there.

The sound is making people sick.

We need to stop it.

I can't do it.

What are you doing?

I think the dome's trying to tell us something.

That's nonsense.

We should go there.

It could have answers for what's happening.

The dome doesn't have answers.

Yes, it does, Dad.

The dome is more than you think it is.

It's shown me things.

If you're too scared to do it, I'll do it. Look out.

Stop.

What are you doing, Linda?

I'm being reasonable.

After what I've seen, I think maybe Junior's right.

We'd need to take a trip to the dome

before we do something we're all going to regret.

Come on.

Come on.

What happened?

I don't know. She was drowning in the lake.

She just appeared.

I have no idea where she came from.

Here, let me try.

It's a good thing you were here.

I saw strange lights coming out of the lake.

We got to get her and you dry. Can you walk?

Uh, if it's not too far.

It's just through the woods.

What the hell?!

It's magnetic.

What's happening?

- Linda.. - Barbie!

My cuffs!

Hold on! I got you!

Help me!

Help!

- Hurry! - I can't.

- Junior! - Help me! Help!

- Okay. - Come on.

Linda!

Linda, get out of here.

- Get out of here! - Barbie, I can't.

I almost got it, hold on.

- Linda! - Get out of the way, Linda!

Almost... almost...

Get out of the way!

Linda, run! Run!

Go!

Sweetheart, can you tell me your name?

How did you end up in the lake?

I don't think she can hear me.

She's in shock.

Best thing for her is rest.

We don't even know who she is.

Right now I'd say you've got problems of your own.

Better let me check it out.

Okay.

Looks like the stitches

must've come loose in the lake.

Who sewed you up?

A... friend who was here.

Was?

Yeah, I had to leave him.

He was protecting me; he didn't make it.

Well, you can't be sure.

Not of anything, these days.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

I'd better.

I was an EMT for ten years.

In town?

Thought I knew everyone at the hospital.

Turns out the county

likes their paramedics sober.

I prefer being alone out here.

Most of the time, anyway.

Sam Verdreaux.

Julia Shumway.

It should've been me.

Junior, you're to blame.

If we hadn't come out here, she'd still be alive.

Hey!

This isn't Junior's fault.

Whatever's going on here,

we gotta make sure nobody else gets hurt.

Well, the best way to do that is finish what we started.

- Junior, help! - Find someone else!

You want more blood on your hands

by letting that murderer go?

We both know that I didn't kill Dodee

or burn down that radio station.

So you want to tell him why you framed me?

Is that true?

I was about to hang an innocent man?

That doesn't matter.

Linda is dead.

Who knows how much of this town's

been destroyed by this... magnetic pull?

We gotta make sure nobody else gets hurt.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

Where you going?

To find Julia.

He was telling the truth, wasn't he?

You killed Dodee.

She was gonna spread lies about our family

that would tear this town apart.

You're the one tearing Chester's Mill apart.

No, I'm the one with the guts to do what needs to be done!

Someone has to make the hard choices!

You gonna do it?

Linda just did!

Who's next, Dad?

Maybe it's you.

There you go.

You know, a lot of people in town

could use someone with your skills.

I'm not too sure they'd be happy to see me.

After all this,

whatever happened in the past...

it doesn't matter anymore.

Some things are kind of hard to leave behind.

Is that why you're...

holed up here?

All by yourself?

Some things you never get over.

Like my sister taking her life nine years ago.

Can I help you with something?

Look, I-I'm sorry about your car, all right?

This is an emergency.

Hey, wait.

You're him, aren't you?

You're that murderer.

I'm not a murderer.

Besides, this town's got bigger problems.

The groans are coming more quickly.

Are you timing these things?

They are getting stronger,

like a... a... pregnant woman's contractions.

Only instead of giving life,

people could die if they don't wake up.

You sound awful confident about that.

I've been studying the dome since it came down.

I think it can manipulate electromagnetic fields

and they're interfering with some people's brainwaves.

What are you, a nuclear physicist?

Nothing so glamorous.

I'm a high school science teacher.

Rebecca Pine.

Dale Barbara.

If the pulses can do this here,

no telling what it's doing to people who live by the dome.

Joe McAlister.

Oh, my God, my mom's in there.

- Mom... - Whoa! Whoa, watch out.

She hit her head.
