IT: Welcome to Derry

Shit.

Wait. Get help!

Get help!

- Get help! - Guards!

Guards!

Get him to the infirmary, now!

- I'm fine. - I got you.

- I'm... I'm fine. - Just breathe.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Well?

We got it.

Excuse me, sir. What the hell just happened?

All right.

All right, Major.

Looks like it's time to give you some answers.

It's okay.

Your parents will be back soon.

I'll be right outside in case there are any more... problems.

I shouldn't be here. Everyone thinks I did this.

It's okay. I told them you didn't.

What'd you say?

That my glasses broke and they cut my eye

and you were only trying to help me when everyone showed up.

They'd probably send me to Juniper Hill

if I told them what I really saw.

I'm so sorry, Lil.

I should have believed you.

You're my best friend...

and I let you down.

Why is this happening?

We're still trying to figure that out.

Is it gonna happen again?

I don't know.

But if it does...

you won't be alone.

I missed you.

I really missed you too.

Is Marge okay? It looked pretty bad.

Her eye's a little messed up, but she'll be okay.

Look, if she wants to help,

then she can tell Bowers what really happened.

Ronnie, we've tried that already.

Why would they believe her?

Besides, the police probably think I attacked her,

that she's covering for me.

Everyone thinks that.

No, Lilly, that's not what I meant.

Listen, I mean, not us,

but like at school, the post office, my barber.

This is a private club, announce yourself.

Matty?

Help... me.

The Indians call them "pillars."

Thirteen objects carved from the same material

that that thing apparently fell to Earth on.

"Fell to Earth"?

They were buried hundreds of years ago deep underground

by the Sqoteawapskot tribe in order to create a sort of...

cage around the creature's territory.

One that runs more or less along the borders of modern-day Derry.

You're telling me that Derry's a prison

and we're looking for the bars?

Exactly right, Major.

That kid...

is a member of a secret order dedicated to keeping that thing locked up

and those pillars hidden.

A job that he and his pals have succeeded at for nearly 400 years.

Until now.

Hallorann flipped through that boy's mind like it was the morning paper.

Now we know exactly where they are

and how to get to them.

To do what, sir?

To reduce the size of its cage.

To contain it.

You mean to capture it.

29 Neibolt Street.

It's an abandoned home atop a tunnel system

that leads directly to the 13 pillars.

Tomorrow morning, you and Colonel Fuller will lead a small team to secure them.

Once in hand,

you'll tighten the perimeter enough to control it.

Imagine if we had dropped something like this

on the Pusan Perimeter in '51.

Let it do the job we lost so many GIs to.

How many mothers we could have spared from heartbreak.

It's time to bring this Cold War to an end, Major.

What's the problem, son?

You knew

that Derry was this thing's hunting ground,

and you let me move my family here.

The plan was for you to stay on base.

You chose otherwise.

Maybe now you move them here until this is all done with.

There's no maybe about it.

Excuse me, sir.

Matty, where have you been?

It's okay.

- You don't have to-- - In the sewers...

below Derry.

That's where it lives.

The clown.

Clown?

It kept some of us alive...

like...

like it needed...

Fear.

Yeah.

How did you get away?

It feeds at night...

and sleeps in the day.

And I just waited...

and I ran.

What about Teddy and Phil and Susie?

Did you see them?

Teddy was dead when it dragged him in.

His skull was ripped open and it...

It... It what?

Ate his brains right in front of me.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

And Susie, one of her arms was gone.

It just left her there.

All night, bleeding out...

and crying.

Until she stopped.

But Phil...

he's still down there.

He's alive?

He can't talk or move, but...

he's alive, somehow.

We have to go to the police.

No. No police.

I have to get my dad out.

And you can tell them that he didn't take you.

And Phil. Matty, we have to help him.

No cops.

- Matty, please. - No.

They'd send me back, back to my dad.

I ran away once, I will do it again.

I'd sooner go back to the sewers than there.

Obviously, the loss of even one life

is one life too many.

That said, the cycle has been a lot milder than '35 and '08.

Twenty-five disappearances, seven confirmed deaths,

mostly children, the oldest 16...

and the youngest 5.

One encouraging sign

is obviously we know the creature sheds.

Its discharge, you might call it,

has tainted Derry's groundwater since the town's founding.

Just get on with it, John.

I'm sorry.

Should we not be educating our prospective keeper?

Leo.

Go on, John.

Well, lately our scouts have noted

that the residents have been acting more aggressively.

The Augury!

Exactly.

And what is that, dear?

One last big, bloody event that marks the end of a cycle,

after which,

we get another 27 years or so of peace and quiet.

Miss Rose.

You're late. Where's Taniel?

I couldn't stop him.

Sir, please let me speak to him.

All aboard the Shawshank Express.

Well, your savior better work fast, Grogan.

Last fish we sent in there didn't survive the week.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll survive two.

Burn in hell, you son of a bitch!

Get off of me!

You're a dead man.

You're a dead man, Grogan, you hear me?

You're gonna fry for what you did to my kids,

you piece of shit!

Get off of me!

I didn't do it!

Sit down.

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

I'm just a little shaken up is all.

He's on his way there now.

I just wanted to make sure we got the paperwork in

so we could... we could get him with his family

as quickly as possible until we get a defense.

All right, so you'll let me know. Okay.

All right, thanks so much.

All right, bye-bye.

Is Will here? Where's Will?

In his room. What's wrong?

I gotta tell you something.

Okay? And as crazy as it's going to sound,

I really need you to just believe me.

The National Guard was standing by

in Leflore County, Mississippi yesterday

during a demonstration for Negro voting rights, during which...

General? There's somebody here to see you.

- Not now. - With respect, sir,

I think you're gonna want--

Where is my nephew, Francis?
