Nancy, are you all right?
Yeah.
Sorry. I'm just really tired.
Well, if you weren't, I'd be worried.
You came face-to-face with a serial killer yesterday,
and you've been here all night giving a statement.
They said that you wanted to talk to me.
I can't stop thinking about the last thing Trott said to me.
I'm a part of something much bigger.
You'll never understand.
"I'm a part of something much bigger".
I mean, that has to mean something.
Don't let him get into your head.
You put a killer behind bars.
You did something extraordinary.
Okay.
Hey, I, um...
Uh, I was hoping to-to check in with Agent Park?
Oh, uh, he's still in Portland doing the transfer paperwork.
Oh. Um... Thank you.
Yes, it is a problem. A big problem.
Look at this.
How are my customers supposed to eat at that table
with a bike there?
It's an eyesore,
and it's costing me money every minute.
And I know it has something to do
with that youth whatever across the street.
I know the owner of the Youth Center.
And as the community liaison, I can talk to him
about giving your café a little more...
Respect?
Space.
And don't forget to talk to him about the loitering, as well.
- Yep. Got it. - Thank you.
- I'm on it. I'll see you later. - Great.
Oh, whee! Something smells amazing.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
- I have a working lunch. - A working lunch
- that, what, requires your famous pasta primavera? - Yes. Uh-huh.
- Wait. - What are... ?
Are you... Are you wearing aftershave?
Okay.
Okay, what exactly are you working on?
You should be working on the chore wheel.
I believe you have trash duty.
Uh, floors, and they're swept. Check it.
Now you can tell Nancy that I'm getting better
at what she assigned me.
Actually, how about you tell her yourself
over at the Youth Center. It's the grand opening.
Go support Nick,
and then you and Nancy can come back at 2:00 p.m.
or anytime after 2:00.
Hello.
Working lunch? Yeah.
- Come in. Please. - Okay.
? This round, I'm taking my time ?
? Taking my time, taking my time, yeah ?
? Take charge, yeah, I'm repping my style ?
? Repping my style, repping my style, yeah ?
? Feel woozy from head to toe ?
? Letting everyone know I'm a rebel and a fighter ?
? This time, I'm taking my time ?
? Taking my time, taking my time, yeah ?
? So, hold on... ?
You guys good?
Uh, you-you... you need anything, or... ?
Unbelievable.
Yeah, I know, I know. Okay?
I'll stop being a helicopter.
It's just, you know, it's first-day nerves.
No. No, not you. This.
Is that... ?
My biological father
sending me a random friend request?
Yeah, it-it sure is.
But you haven't spoken to him in, what, 17 years?
Yeah, which is why I should probably expect
a random friend request from, what, Jesse's dad
or-or Ted's next? I mean, where does this madness end?
Okay, okay. You want to talk about it?
I just did.
My mom sends her regards.
Where is everyone? Did I get the date wrong?
Thought today was opening day.
Oh, no. It is.
Okay, snacks, right?
You know, just in case.
I mean, no pressure.
? So, hold on ?
? Things are moving ?
? I know... ?
These are solid.
They're kosher, too.
Ooh, it's time to open up The Claw.
- You're driving. Come on. - Okay.
- Hey. - Yeah.
Congrats. This is great.
Thank you. Thank you.
- See you. - Happy opening day!
- Thanks. - Uh, quick question.
Have you considered getting a bike rack out front?
There's been a complaint
from the owner of the café across the street.
- Jake says he's losing business. - Oh, wow.
This place looks amazing.
- Thank you. - Hi.
- What are you doing here?
What am I doing? I'm here to support Nick,
hang out with you.
You know, spend some time with my daughter
outside of the house, right?
At least until 2:00 p.m.
That's specific.
Oh, wow. Those Ace's mom's cookies? Solid.
- What's up, you guys? Mmm. - Actually,
I do need a little help with their paperwork
- if you don't mind. - No, not at all.
I am in as long as there's caffeine
'cause I've been up since yesterday.
- Hey, Nick? - Yeah.
Um, someone defaced the bathroom
with some odd graffiti.
Also, the lights don't work.
- Oh. - Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I'll clean it up.
And then I'll, uh, have a talk with the kids
about, uh, creative outlets, right?
Bet I can make it a-a learning opportunity.
- Love it. Yes. Yeah. - Right? Yeah.
Oh.
It's completely shameless.
I don't know. I think Jake's being a little sensitive.
It's a public sidewalk.
- People can park their bikes. - Hello? I meant this friend request.
I don't get it. Why now?
This sperm donor has never tried
to have a relationship with me before.
Is there any chance that your dad found out
- about your upcoming nuptials? - No.
Victoria would never tell him anything,
and I haven't posted anything online. I...
Oh, the Fan Fan website.
Ted.
Ted blogged about the proposal.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Ooh.
- Can I have one of these? Sure could use a sugar hit. - Oh.
Oh, you know what? I was gonna drop these off for someone.
But...
But what?
But the chocolate melted.
Yeah. It's gross. You don't want to eat them.
Get you a granola bar.
Gross.
We still don't know anything more
than what your client has told us:
that the tags are codes for time and location
of meeting place.
Okay. And, um...
You haven't been able to figure out
what the meetings are about?
Uh, I mean, we think it's drug deals.
Now that your client has gone AWOL
after talks of possible immunity...
I've left Asher a number of messages
telling him how detrimental his actions were.
I haven't been able to track him down. Yet.
Well, I think we found out where he was
the night we were supposed to meet.
So, Asher was caught on camera
walking into an old cannery, uh, two nights ago.
Problem is he walked in, but he never came out.
Building's empty now.
And this is the...
- security footage? - Yeah.
It's a-a five-block radius of the cannery,
uh, the night he went missing.
Okay.
So, I've been meaning to scan
through all of this stuff myself,
but now that I've been pulled to the Trott case,
- I could really use a second pair of eyes? - Of course.
I can take a look.
- Perfect. - See if I spot
any of Asher's known associates.
Amazing.
Oh, my God.
- Thanks. - Hmm.
First the lights and now...
I'm a part of something much bigger.
You'll never understand.
What the hell?
- Synced and corrected by Firefly - - www.addic7ed.com -
What is your problem?
You just stole that woman's coffee
and threw it at my head.
Oh, no. I'm, um, I'm so sorry.
I, uh, I don't know
how I got here, and I've been sleepwalking. Look,
we all have crazy dreams,
but you know what we're not doing?
Throwing beverages at people, okay?
Leave. Now.
Sorry.
See? Better than drawing on the bathroom wall, right?
I just had my second nightmare of the day.
While seeing that exact image.
First at the station,
and then five minutes ago at Jake's Café.
I see it in my dreams, too.
It's scary, but drawing it makes me feel better.
And...
sorry about painting your bathroom.
Hey, it's all good. Mistakes happen, huh?
Hey, buddy.
How long you been seeing
that weird shape?
Okay.
It cannot be a coincidence
that four people are hallucinating the same thing.
Yeah, in their dreams. Uh, you know, I was thinking...
We should call Hannah. See if she knows anything.
Hello? Uh, you know I've been watching over
the Historical Society while Hannah is away.
I can just dash over there and find out everything I can
about the silhouette from your nightmares.
You are welcome.
Ace!
What are you doing?
What is this?
That's something I just hallucinated.
Any guesses
as to why I'm hallucinating the same thing
the Youth Center kids are drawing?
Well, it's the same thing I just saw.
Before he went sleepwalking.
Hey. Kwame
and Talia just told me that they started having nightmares
about that thing three days ago.
They-they keep calling it the Sandman.
Yeah, Bess said she found something.
She wants us to meet up with her.
Um, Ryan, can you hold down the fort? Appreciate it.
No, wait, I-I don't r... Uh, any...
Who wants more cookies?
It's not just happening to Ace and Nancy.
Half dozen accounts are tweeting about sleepwalking
in Horseshoe Bay. Look.
I recognize these names.
Yeah, these guys were a year below me and George.
This girl was in Ace's class, I think.
Uh, so, the-the haunting is escalating.
It went from children's nightmares to...
To do what? Gain strength?
- When it's strong enough, it... - It jumps to teens.
New food group.
And now that it's stronger, it's affecting them differently,
- making them sleepwalk. - Into danger.
Has anyone ever seen the silhouette before?
Yes. So, I have here...
So, the Indigenous artisans drew the image on pottery
that they would then fill with sand from Piper Beach.
These-these pots acted as dream catchers.
Piper Beach? Like we do every year at the town carnival?
What's this got to do with the town carnival?
The carnival has an opening ceremony
where families go down to Piper Beach and collect sand.
Yeah. That you decorate at the arts and crafts booth.
You just make little jars of sand.
I used to dye my sand black.
Almost every kid in Horseshoe Bay has one by their bed.
Except for this year because three days ago,
Matthew Burke's corpse stopped the carnival from opening.
Y'all have some crazy rituals.
- Well, just wait till next month. - What happens next month?
You'll see.
Hold on, when-when did the town carnival start?
1836.
So, I think...
Yeah, here. So,
in the autumn of 1835,
22 adults from Horseshoe Bay
disappeared from their homes in the middle of the night.
And then most of their bodies were found weeks later,
washed up onshore.
Old-timey sleepwalking that led to the founding
- of the town carnival. - Okay.
So, all we have to do is get some sand from Piper Beach,
make dream catchers,
and then we can hand them out
- to the locals tomorrow morning. - I don't know.
Three days ago was a full moon,
and we know that, uh, the lunar cycle
- plays a huge role in rituals, so... - Well,
you might be right, but are we supposed to wait
until the next full moon to find out?
Because people are sleepwalking,
and somebody's gonna get into some serious trouble
if we don't stop this now, so...
I'm making the call.
We're going to Piper Beach.
Just...
Hey.
You made primavera?
I did.
What was the occasion?
No occasion. Just...
Delicious.
- How was your day? - Good.
Boring.
How was your day?
Uh, good.
I gave my statement
to the D.A. this morning about Trott.
I thought I might've missed something,
but the D.A. said that I was overthinking it.
You? Never.
D.A. Jean Rosario.
Yeah. I heard she was prosecuting Trott.
- Mm. - You look exhausted.
You should get some rest.
Mm.
If I didn't say so earlier,
I am so proud of you.
You created a safe space for kids.
And you know what?
- What? - I bet you
- those three kids... - Mm-hmm.
- ... are gonna go tell all their friends. - Mm-hmm.
And then five whole kids
- are gonna be at the Youth Center tomorrow. - Oh, man, five?
- Five. - How will I manage five kids?
I mean, I can help you.
Yeah?
? Sweet wine... ?
Ace, what are you doing here?
I almost died today.
And, uh, I know that I've had close calls before, but...
this was different because I'm not afraid anymore.
Not afraid of what? Dying?
? My body ?
Doing this.
? Shakes ?
? As you take your bow ?
? Unbind these tied hands ?
? Watch me hit the ground ?
? Crash down, crash down, down ?
? Can you feel it now? ?
I'm a part of something much bigger.
You'll never understand.
And then I'll ask, "Does anyone object to this union?
Speak now or forever hold your peace".
Why would anyone want to marry you?
I didn't even want to stick around to raise you.
Nick is only doing this because you're going to die soon.
Shut up, Dad! Just shut up!
The Women in White.
? Love blinds... ?
No. Please!
No. No, wait. Wait! Please!
I'm supposed to be here! Please!
? Like a waterfall ?
? Crash down... ?
This was all for nothing.
? Can you feel it now? ?
? Crash down... ?
Hey!
Someone! Anyone!
- Hey, help! Let me out! - ? Crash down, down ?
? Crash down... ?
Hey.
Oh.
? Like a waterfall... ?
Did I do this?
? Can you feel it? ?
Oh, my God.
Ace?
Nick. Wake up. Nick!
Nick!
Oh!
Nancy?
Everyone answered except for you.
You doused yourself in acetone.
We all tried to get ourselves killed.
It's getting worse.
More people are tweeting about sleepwalking.
Someone's in the hospital. A broken arm.
H-How are you so awake right now?
Adrenaline. I feel like I could run a marathon.
Ah.
And some of these sleepwalkers are older than we are.
And the sleepwalking events are getting worse.
The Sandman wants to hurt us,
which means if we don't stop this soon,
every adult in town, whatever their age,
is gonna start sleepwalking to their deaths.
Okay. So, what do we do?
Do we keep everybody awake until the next full moon
and then do the sand ritual then?
For us,
coffee, at least.
Anything to stop me from having that nightmare again.
I mean, I-I was just facing the ultimate villain.
Just a random figment of my imagination.
- Hey, what was your, um, dream about? - I, uh...
hurt somebody.
- What about yours? - Uh...
I just, uh...
I think my subconscious was trying to tell me
there are instincts that I haven't followed.
About Trott.
Okay, I feel like I saw something
in the Women in White's journal a-about a sleep charm.
Maybe-maybe Temperance
- could... - No. No. If you ask Temperance for help,
it's gonna be a price.
She only does something if it's gonna benefit her.
Okay. So, what if it benefits us, too?
Yeah, for all we know, Temperance
could be behind what's happening.
Uh, well, she's not that bad of a person.
- Oh, please. You don't even know her. - Yes,
- I do, actually. - Okay.
I've been visiting Temperance a little bit.
You what?
Over the past few days.
Why?
She's not your friend, Bess. Don't let her fool you.
At least Temperance takes me seriously
and doesn't dismiss my ideas and opinions.
She's even helping me become a Woman in White.
Those don't exist anymore.
Yeah, Bess, that's like me saying
I want to become a Pilgrim.
Like...
You know what? Forget it.
You know what? You're too busy making the calls
to listen to anyone, anyway.
And you lot...
- Don't know why I even bother. - Bess.
Okay. So, all we need to do is figure out...
George.
Hey.
- ... and how to stop it. - Stay with me.
Okay, we need to set alarms on our phones to stay awake.
And we should lock the doors in case we do fall asleep.
I can do you one better.
Dad's a cop.
Well, cool.
What do we think
is crucial about Piper Beach with the dream catchers?
I mean, there... there appear to be
a number of, uh, coastal tribes
that dealt with sand rituals
or-or stories about spirits made out of particles of sand.
I still feel like we're missing something.
What do you think, Ace?
I'm part of something much bigger.
I'm part of something much bigger!
Okay, just so you all know,
you were wrong about Temperance.
She helped me find the sleep charm that...
Oh, dear. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Hey, Nancy? Nancy, can you hear me?
You have to wake up!
Oh, yes.
I am so sorry.
I just really need to know what you guys were up to
before the handcuffs and the sleeping.
And I won't go through your texts.
Unless...
No, no, I promise. I promise.
Okay.
Coastal tribes believed the entity was originally
created from particles of sand at Piper Beach.
Hence the name, I suppose.
I'm not done with you yet.
I kicked you out of my car.
I'm not a part of your crimes.
You are now.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
The Sandman is getting stronger.
Ace, Ace, you need to wake up. Ace.
Gosh, Ace, please.
Come on, Ryan. Pick up the phone.
Oh, gosh.
George Li-Yun Fan
also leaves behind her loving father,
Edwin George Chen.
He was not a loving father!
I would've been. If you had let me.
But now it's too late.
Wait! Wait!
What are you doing?!
Stop! Stop, I'm not dead!
Please! I can't move!
I can't breathe!
George! George, can you hear me?
George, you need to wake up. Please.
Nick!
Kwame? Talia?
- Nick! Help us! - Nick! Nick!
- Please help us. - Please!
Hey, hang on. I'm coming!
Nick, hurry! We're scared.
Hang on! I'm coming!
Bess! Hey. I got here as soon as I could.
Oh, my God, Nancy.
- Nancy, you got to wake up. - No, hey, they're trapped in their nightmares.
What the hell is going on here?
The more power the Sandman gains,
the thinner the veil between the dream world
- and the real world becomes. - What are you saying?
If they get hurt or they die in their dreams,
- they die in real life, too? - Technically, yes.
But it also means
that if we can find a way to kill the Sandman
in the dream world and the real world,
then we can kill the Sandman forever.
Now, a new friend of mine
helped me find this sleep charm,
which allows the holder to go into anyone's dream.
I was hoping the group would help me find a way
to use this against the Sandman, but they are otherwise occupied.
Okay, but you got me. You got me. We can do this, right?
You and me? Okay. Let me think.
Oh, wait. Okay, Kwame.
Kwame told me that when-when he got attacked in his dream,
he thought of a-a flamingo,
and it-it appeared in his hand all of a sudden, so he used it
as a baseball bat, and he...
he whacked the Sandman to the sun.
That was actually kind of cool, right? But my point is is that
he killed the Sandman in his dream.
But not in the real world.
Although,
if I perform the sleep charm and lucid dream,
you know, to take control of what is happening in my dream,
then I can save our people
and manifest a way to kill the Sandman
while the veil is still thin and then...
- and then destroy it forever. - Yeah.
Wait, you lost me at "lucid".
It's an ancestral skill. My friend says I'm up to the task.
Okay, so, she wrote down instructions for me.
"Envision it. See it. Create it.
Start with belief.
The rest will follow".
Okay. Take George's crowbar to Piper Beach.
Plant it into the sand next to the twisted driftwood.
I'm gonna send you a photo of it.
It's where we collected the sand for the dream catchers.
Okay. And the crowbar is gonna do what?
Act as a lightning rod. The Sandman was believed
to have been created from the sand at Piper Beach.
Oh, hence the name. That's tight.
- That's what I said! - Yeah!
Anyway,
we're gonna turn the Sandman's particles
into glass using lightning.
I just wish I wasn't so wired so I could fall asleep.
Oh! Oh, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Here. Take these.
They're Melatonin gummies. Yeah, Carson gave them to me.
He was trying to get me to not have late-night video games
so I'd do more on my chore wheel, but you know what? I...
- Can you just go? - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure.
We got this.
Get on the Bess bus if you want to live, Nancy.
- Come on, Nancy! - Come on, Nancy, get on this bus.
Get on the bus, come on!
- Come on! - Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Has anyone asked Bess how she's doing this?
She seems focused.
Best not to disturb her.
Focused or angry?
Focused and angry. She's fangry.
- I can hear you. - How?
It's my dream. I can do whatever I want.
And know what? You're all really loud whisperers, by the way.
I've been meaning to tell you that for a while,
but didn't want to hurt your feelings
'cause I'm a nice person.
- And we love you for it. - Oh, really?
Now that I'm saving all your asses,
you all love me. But do you respect me?
- Shouldn't you be... - You know, Nancy, you're the hero
of Horseshoe Bay. You caught a freaking serial killer.
But even a hero misjudges sometimes.
Seriously, Bess, the road.
Also, I've been studying
and researching and-and learning a lot,
and that's why you're all not dead right now.
You're absolutely right. Can I just...
Don't touch my wheel.
You people really have no imagination.
I've got this under control.
We're gonna end the Sandman, so buckle up.
- Th-There's no seat belts. - Fine.
There are now.
Okay, then.
Come on, Bess.
Come on.
Follow me.
Now we lure it.
Not this time.
This is my dream.
Bess!
Fix it, Dream Queen!
- Come on, Bess! - Oh! - Bess!
We're trapped!
- Come on, Bess! - You can do it, Bess!
Come on, Bess!
- Come on, Bess! - Come on, you can do it!
- You can do it! - Come on, Bess!
Envision it.
See it.
Create it.
Now!
Yes, Bess!
Ow.
You okay?
Does anybody remember where we put the key?
Hey, Bess, you have every right to be angry with us.
Okay, I'm not angry.
I'm just disappointed and hurt.
You deserve more from your friends.
Yeah, w-we should have listened to you.
Especially me.
Hey, we're really sorry.
Do you think you can forgive us?
Oh, that depends.
Are you all gonna stop underestimating
my knowledge of the occult and supernatural
and actually take my ideas and opinions seriously?
As much as anyone else's, even Nancy's?
- Of course. 100%. - I'll think about it.
And respect my decision
to assemble the next generation of Women in White.
I know in the past they stood for some not-so-great things,
but at their core, the Women in White
are about owning and-and harnessing their power.
That's what I believe my calling is,
and that's what I intend to do.
Then that is what we will respect.
I mean, I don't know. If she starts wearing buckled shoes,
I'm playing the Pilgrim card.
- Oh, yada ya. - Okay.
You're gonna be an amazing Woman in White.
Thank you.
Hey. Nick, I, um, I forgot to give this back to you.
Why don't you hang on to it.
Kids said they really liked you.
They did?
Why?
Well, you were great with them. Attentive,
curious, uplifting.
They're thinking of me as a supervisor,
but they see you as a peer.
In a good way.
You're from a very different background,
but you know what it's like to not have a stable homelife.
These kids could really benefit
from spending some time with you.
Maybe
that could go both ways?
They-they really said that they like me?
I'll see you Monday, 9:00 a.m.
Okay.
Hey, Jesse.
Thank you for taking Ted to her trumpet lesson.
Charlie is still at her sleepover,
but Emma's mom said she'll bring her home after lunch.
I told Nick that I was running an errand,
but it's something that I want to deal with by myself,
so it's your job to sub in at The Claw.
I'll explain later, okay?
You got this. You got this.
All right, George.
Come on, girl. You got ten years left to live.
It is time to face your demons.
Edwin George Chen.
Can we talk about this friend request?
You want to tell me where you were all night?
You want to tell me why the primavera you made yesterday
was missing your usual measure of garlic?
Garlic breath isn't great for business.
Are lunch dates with D.A. Rosario good for business?
I could smell her perfume.
If you want to date somebody,
you don't have to hide it from me.
Not like you could, anyway.
Just like I couldn't hide this from you.
I've been having nightmares about Trott.
He told me he's part of something much bigger,
something I would never understand.
So, I've been looking at these articles going back to 2014.
And I just... I can't figure it out.
What am I missing? Wh-Wh...
What is he a part of that I don't understand?
Well...
Why don't we start with what you do understand.
Okay. Um... I know he has
three fingers on one hand
because of a self-inflicted accident.
I know his license plate number.
I know that he drives a van,
which was probably used to transport Dustin Yates' body
from the kill site to my car.
Which wouldn't be the first time
that he used a van to dump a victim's body. Look.
His tire tracks were found at every Frozen Heart crime scene.
Except the town carnival.
Trott couldn't have fit his van into the corn maze.
He would have had to carry Matthew Burke's body
- into the maze. - Which wouldn't fit his "in and out" M.O.
Plus, Matthew Burke's heart
was completely removed from his body,
and Dustin's chest cavity still had remnants of his heart.
Two different M.O.s could mean...
Two different killers.
Trott said he was a part of something much bigger
because he's not the only killer
in Horseshoe Bay.
Be careful, please.
- Oh. Hello. - Hey.
- Wh-What are you doing here? - Oh.
I called him.
Oh, okay. Bye.
Bye.
? Can we wait... ?
Should have this depixelated and enhanced
in about 43 seconds, give or take.
How are you not a tech billionaire?
Who says I'm not?
? Finally... ?
What exactly are we looking for?
Known associates of a client of mine.
D.A. thinks he got cold feet and took off
before she could get him to turn state's evidence.
He was last seen walking into a cannery.
- The one on Harlowe Street? - Yeah.
Two nights ago.
- Where's your client now? - I wish I knew.
Asher's never gone M.I.A. this long with me before.
I'm hoping this surveillance footage
explains his disappearance.
I promised Jean I would take a look, see if I can find
any faces or cars that might be able
to point her in the right...
I can explain.
D.A. Rosario,
Trott killed Dustin Yates
but not Matthew Burke. There has to be another killer.
I know. Trott has been in custody
ever since he was arrested in Portland.
Another murder was just reported with the same M.O.
- Where did they find the body? - In front of Jake's Café.
