His son Henry remains missing.
Young Molly awakens in the night and crosses the snow in her pajamas and bare feet.
She is picking up on a different broadcast.
She unplugs his breathing tube and he wakes up struggling.
In the bed nearby, Henrys mother tosses in her blankets but doesnt wake up.
His father never will.
Molly is grown up now.
My body fell to earth.
My bones were broken.
I asked my Lord for mercy and he saved me.
Who areyouto overrule the will of my Lord?
He tells the congregation: Friends … we have let a sinner into our house.
Live Like a King is her catchphrase.
Jackie Torrance is loading her model of Castle Rock into her car for transport to the TV station.
Then Henry appears in her door.
He has plans for moving her that dont involve Castle Rock.
And Henry leaves annoyed.
Did I say something wrong?
But she doesnt give him a satisfying answer.
Molly has a flash of memory Henry burning a video cassette, and cursing out his father.
The two go to her house, talking in her room about music.
Then Molly makes a confession: She can feel what others feel, and she hears and sees him.
Henry isnt sure how to process this information.
Henry has a conversation with Dennis Zalewski, the prison guard.
Get him to tell me how he got there, Henry asks.
Back at Mollys house, everything is torn apart.
Jackie shows up to piece through the wreckage.
Continued on next page… Really, she needs her painkillers to stifle the rise of voices in her head.
She has a vision of Henry as a boy, lighting a jack-o-lantern at Halloween.
He burns his finger and she feels it.
His father asks him: Do you hear it?
… Do you hear it now?
But Henry runs away.
The trial witness declares that the person who murdered is in this courtroom.
And all eyes turn to Molly.
She runs, but before she can leave the property, police arrive.
(Remember this last one.
Its important for a future episode.)
Before he leaves, Henry hears that Molly is in the lock-up and helps coordinate her release.
As they leave together, she continues telling him about the power she first described when they were young.
I feel what other people are feeling, and some people are louder than others.
Like when you get a song stuck in your head and cant think about anything else.
Yesterday you didnt know who I was, he says.
That was a lie, she confesses.
Continued on next page …
Molly is reading things off of Henry, hearing whats inside his head.
Instead she says:
There is a young man in a cell right now at Shawahnk state prison.
His constitutional due process was never respected.
He was locked in a tiger cage.
Molly has just blown kick off the biggest secret at that prison.
The host isnt sure what to say, so he just says: Uhhhh….
I know, she says.
Lets see what he says, Henry tells her.
Finally, he gets his face-to-face.
Im your lawyer now, he says to the thick glass between him and the mystery figure.
Your lawyer is telling you we have a brand new strategy as of this second.
Dont tell anyone your name.
I wont ask, you dont tell.
All the kid says is: Has it begun?
Henry doesnt know what he means.
How many years old are you?
39, Henry answers
Do you hear it now?
the kid asks, echoing the strange phrase his father said to him in the woods.
Back at Mollys house, she walks into the darkened, destroyed home and pulls a knife.
Someone else is here.
That someone is the reverend with his bandaged face.
Behold I will tell you a mystery, he says.
And then hes gone.
