Plot: Harry Mason (Matthew Fox) wakes up in the deserted Cafe 52. He finds a police officer standing over him, Cybil Bennett (Katie Cassidy). She explains that she crashed her motorcycle and came into town to try to contact her station in the nearby town of Brahms, when she noticed Harry being attacked. She scared off the attackers and brought him inside. Harry tries to explain that they were no ordinary attackers, but rather they seemed like demon children. Cybil thinks that Harry is just overwhelmed and may have hit his head when he was attacked. Cybil eventually leaves to try to find the local police station. She encourages Harry to stay put in the diner until she comes back with help.
Harry scours through the diner until he finds a handgun hidden underneath the cash register. As Harry is preparing to leave the diner, a radio on the counter begins emitting static. Harry is investigating the radio when a flying creature - an Air Screamer - comes crashing through the window and into the diner. The creature attacks Harry, but he manages to fire the gun at the creature three times, killing it. Harry stands there in disbelief for a moment before leaving the diner with the radio.
As Harry walks down the street it looks more normal again, albeit deserted. Gone is the metal, rust and blood. Harry soon sees other monstrous creatures nearby. He discovers that the radio's static intensifies as the monsters grow closer. Harry steps on a piece of paper in the street and stops to look at it. It is a hand-written note that simply says "TO SCHOOL". Harry thinks the handwriting looks like Cheryl's so he follows the street until he arrives at Midwich Elementary School - large Catholic school with Gothic architecture and a clock tower.
Harry finds the front doors of the school are wide open, so he goes inside. The place looks like it has been abandoned for many years. Inside Harry finds many Grey Children wandering the halls of the school. Harry sneaks around the school, checking in every class room for Cheryl, but cannot find her anywhere. Just as he is about to give up, he hears whispers coming from the school's boiler room. He walks into the room and finds Alessa Gillespie (Oona Laurence) standing in the middle of the room. Harry recognizes her as the person he saw in the road before he crashed. Just as he starts asking who she is, Alessa disappears into thin air. A creature begins trying to break out of the furnace in the boiler room. Harry runs out of the school before it can get out and attack.
Harry is confused and frustrated by his search for Cheryl. He then begins to hear a church bell ringing in the distance. Realizing that noise must mean there is someone at the church who could help him, Harry begins walking through town toward the noise.
Cybil Bennett finally makes it to the Silent Hill Police station, finding it deserted like the rest of the town. Inside she finds more ammunition for her gun while she looks around with her flashlight for any clues on what has happened. Before she leaves, she takes a shotgun with her as well. She heads back to the diner, finding the dead Air Screamer, but no sign of Harry.
