"I'm sure we can make exceptions if you have to get to a job." "So we have to change our lives because of them?" "Yeah!" "They broke into my house on Christmas." "People, please, look, we're just trying to keep everybody safe." "Well, you're not trying to keep us safe." "That's right." "Excuse me?" "It just doesn't seem fair, us being locked up inside our houses." "We didn't do anything wrong." "Yeah." "I mean, with all due respect, Chief, how do we even know these people didn't do this to themselves?" "Because you were with them when they found the body." "Well, I was with some of them." "What are you... you don't even live here." "Well, sure I do." "And when I moved here, hell, it seemed like a nice place." " Oh, are you fuckin' serious?" "!" " OK." "I think everyone's had their say." "This is not a public vote." "It's for the council alone." "And, for the record," "I fully support Chief Garvey." "All in favor of imposing an emergency town-wide curfew to start at 8 p.m., effective this evening?" "All opposed?" "Yeah." "Where's Patti?" "Get all your people together here in 5 minutes from all your fuckin' houses." "I'll wait." "It's just been made clear to me that it's officially open season on you people." "Now, the ideal thing would be for you all to stay off the streets, but we all know that's not gonna happen, is it?" "Whistles." "Keep these on you at all times." "Use them." "I got my people on extra patrols, and they're ready to respond." "This doesn't have to happen again, but that's on you." "No one understands whatever it is you believe in." "They don't give a shit..." "long as you leave them alone." "But if you keep following people around, buying up their homes, painting everything white, breaking into their houses, they will retaliate." "Any questions?" "I'll take them in writing." "Thank you for your time." "It's Meg, right?" "Do you still talk?" "Yes." "Where's Laurie?" "I don't know." "Is she OK?" "I don't know." "I'm the only person that gives a shit about you people, and you won't even tell me where my wife is?" "She's not your wife anymore." "OK." "All done, girls?" "Oh, we are indeed." "Just the check." "Mm-hmm." "Oh, could I have a doggie bag, please?" "For what?" "Just get me the bag, sweetheart." "OK." "I brought her here, too." "Just over a year ago." "Gladys sat right there where you're sittin' right now." "I don't know how, but she somehow got word that her son had died." "Did she ever tell you she had a son?" "No." "It was over in Yemen, I think." "His helicopter just crashed or some such, and as you can imagine, she did not take it very well." "She questioned her commitment, she became distracted, and she began to feel again." "And there was a lot of mopin' and cryin' around the house, and then it started to happen out in the open." "So I brought her here, I fed her, and I invited her to speak her troubles out loud." "I gave her every opportunity to talk." "She never spoke one word, never broke, just like you." "So I'm going to tell you what I told her." "I understand the pull." "I understand." "It's your family." "It's your past." "I understand that going back to them feels comfortable and easy because the alternative, what we do, is very, very hard." "But there can't be any doubt, Laurie... because doubt is fire!" "And fire is gonna burn you up until you are but ash!" "OK." "Ladies, come see us again." "Yeah." "You remember what you told me to do in the last session... just before everything changed?" "_" "Can I be excused, please?" "Yeah." "OK, Reverend." "You want to pray over her?" "Fine." "What made you change your mind?" "The closest thing she's gonna get to a funeral... oh, shit." "Jesus said to his disciples," ""Compare me to something and tell me what I am like."" "And Thomas said to him, "Teacher, my mouth is utterly unable to say what you are like."" "And Jesus said, "I am not your teacher" ""because you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring I have tended."" "And he took Thomas and withdrew and spoke 3 sayings to him." "When Thomas came back, his friends asked him," ""What did Jesus say to you?"" "And Thomas responded," ""If I tell you what he spoke to me," ""you will pick up rocks and stone me, and fire will come from the rocks and devour you."" "You want to tell me what that means?" "It means it's easier to stay silent than it is to speak truth." "Killing these people is pointless." "They don't care because they're already dead." "You know, what I want is to bring them back to life." "Oh." "Sorry about that." "Must be that one." "Uh, Billy?" "What happened to the D.B. in 4?" "Female?" "Oh, we shipped her out." "You fuckin' shipped her?" "Where?" "Sorry." "We got an email ordering us to send her out to Virginia." "Uh, it was from..." "Agent Kilaney." "It says you guys called him." "Hey, Sean Kilaney at Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and Cults." "Leave a message and I'll hit you back." "Listen, asshole, you don't call me back and then you email my morgue and you pull my fuckin' body?" "!"

"Now, you want us to take jurisdiction, right?" "Uh... uh, no." "Don't worry about it." "Um, listen, you never should have gotten that call." "One of my detectives jumped the gun." "Vitello." " Oh." " He said he spoke to you." "Oh, OK." "Let me, uh, pull it up here." "Uh..." "Got it." "Jesus." "Right." "The stoning." "Fuck." "The victim was what, Tomorrow's Family?" "No, Guilty Remnant." "Oh, those nuts." "What's up with the chain-smoking?" "Look, you know what?" "It sounds like you got your hands full." "They sent the body to you a couple hours ago, and it's not like..." "Shit." "They did?" "They said you emailed them." "Uh, that's automated." "It gets sent to the local M.E." "as soon as I put a Tier 3 in the system." "Well, then send her back to me." "Send the body back." "Yeah, wish I could." "She's en route to our forensic processing center." "Then how 'bout I come down there, I pick her up myself?" "Uh, sorry." "Once she's in the system, there's nothing I can do." "Well, what about, uh, forensics, evidence, our witness statements?" " You know what?" " You want me to..." "You go ahead and hold on to all of that, OK?" "You should be hearing from one of our field guys soon." "In how long?" "Uh, 4 to 6 weeks." "Oh, fuck." "Or, if you want, we could just eliminate the infestation." "Excuse me?" "I can have 3 vans full of armed agents there by the end of the week." "They pay a visit to whatever compound these fucks call home, and they get you the results you're lookin' for." "Chief... this shit spreads if you let it." "Don't worry about your victim." "She doesn't give a shit." "Worry about your town." "And, uh... ahem." "The Guilty Remnant." "What happens... what would happen to them?" "What happens is they go away." "They're not your problem anymore." "Just say the word, and everything can go back to normal." "Well, I appreciate that." "Hello?" "You still there?" "Chief?" "Uh... uh..." "Uh, but no thanks." "We can handle it." "OK." "Good luck with that, Chief." "Sorry, I can't sell alcohol to people who are already enibritted." "Who are what?" "Enibritted." "Oh." "Inebriated?" " Yeah." " Oh, I'm not, so promise you won't get in any trouble." "All right." "So, you guys, uh, catch who killed that lady yet?" "No." "We have not." "Hey." "Hey!" "Open the door." " We're closed." " No, no, no." "It's me, Officer Mustard Stain." "Open the door." " Open the door." " We're closed!" "Sorry, sir." "We're closed."

"White shirts." "Here you go." "More white shirts." "That's..." " Here." "White." " Yeah." "White shirts." " Eight shirts." " Thank you." "Uh, no, no." "It's OK." "No charge, sir." "Our mistake, OK?" "Thanks." "_" "One, two." "Testing." "Testing, testing." "One, two." "Good evening." "Hello." "My name is Matt Jamison." "I didn't know your friend very well." "I don't even know if you considered her a friend, but she lived here, with all of you." "I tried to give her a blanket once on a cold winter day, but she wouldn't take it."

"We still feel pain and sorrow." "We still feel loss." "We still feel love." "This woman was one of you, and now she's gone." "I know you cannot speak her name." "I know you cannot say good-bye."
