"Previously on Happy Town..." "I want $250,000 or I'll be handing it over to the police." "(John) You're in the room again, aren't you?" "Honey, please." "This is not healthy." "Dan Farmer, state police." "We will catch this guy." "We will catch this guy good." "I collect information on the Magic Man." " Mommy's gone." " Rachel was taken." "That's Rachel's ring, but that's not Rachel's hand." "I just got out of prison." "So what, I'm just gonna roll back into town, snatch the Sheriff's wife?" "Everything went black." "I don't know where I went." "Rachel's return means he's changed his game." "Mark my words..." "we are gonna find the Magic Man." "(Simon  Garfunkel) * In my little town *" "(Gunshot)" "* I grew up believing *" "(Gunshot) * God keeps his eye on us all *" "(Siren whoops)" "* And he used to lean upon me * (Plate shatters)" "* As I pledged allegiance... * (Gunshot)" "* To the wall *" "Let the Magic Man try to take one of us." "Ha!" "He'll get the surprise of a lifetime." "(Plate shatters) Oh!" "You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?" "(Sighs deeply)" "Babe, this town's gone crazy." "We've had two accidental shootings in the last two days, 17 reported prowlers" "11 intruder calls... turned out to be kids sneaking home after curfew." "And we have to answer and investigate every one, which means that I..." "I have no time to focus on..." "What's important, except for when I'm supposed to be asleep." "You okay, babe?" "John wants me to come in to help deal with the fallout from closing the bread factory." "Are you sure going back so soon, uh," "I just don't think that you should rush into it." "Now you sound like my parents." "My father called this morning." "They want Emma and me to come and stay with them in St. Paul for a while." "Well, I'm not saying that." "I-I'm just saying, you shouldn't let John Haplin pressure you into moving too fast." "John's not pressuring me." "This is what I want to do." "I-I'm not gonna let..." "Whoever took me put my life on hold." "I'm going back to work." "Remember to never forget." "(Cell phone rings) Thank you." "The Magic Man victims..." "They're still out there." "Take one," " please." "Keep everyone safe." " Hello?" "(Peggy) Hello, Miss Boone." "I was starting to wonder when you'd contact me." "I'm prepared to meet your terms for the object in your possession." "My car will be outside Meadows boarding house tonight at 6:00 to conduct you to Weeping Wall." "Don't keep the driver waiting." "(Beep)" "They're still out there, people." "Good morning." "You okay, chicken?" "You look spooked." "No. (Carol) Keep Haplin safe." "Uh... my Addie..." " Just watching that woman over there." " Beverly," "Chad, Kristen, Lauryn..." "they're still out there, people." "Look, I get it." "Losing your kid..." "no fun, but you gotta move on, no?" "(Man) So what you're saying is there's still no word about the victims." "Tommy, it's been five days since we heard there's..." "there's hope that our daughter's alive, and you still don't have any news?" "Mr. Ward, we have all available manpower looking for Lauryn and the other victims right now, but until we get new information," "I-I need you to be calm, and I-I need your help keeping the community calm." "Trust me, I-I want answers just as much as you all do." "Not quite as much as we do, Tommy." "You got Rachel back." "Our loved ones are still missing." " Yes, Carol, I was fortunate." " Can Rachel tell us anything?" "Rachel can't remember." "So for now, please respect her privacy." "I want to know what happened to my daughter, Tommy." "I think Rachel could at least give us that much." "(Woman) Can we at least see her, Sheriff?" "(Knock on door)" "Hey." "I-I-I-I can't tell you how much I appreciate you coming in here today." "After all you've been through, it's..." "It actually feels good to be in." "It feels productive." "I'll just, uh, get started on these inventory reports, then we'll go from there." "Perfect." "Perfect." "It's strange." "I grew up in this factory." "I know every..." "Every inch of this place, and I still cannot figure out how he got in here." "John, can we just..." "Can you tell me..." "What went on out there?" "John..." "Rachel." "I don't remember." "Well, I'm thinking that might be because they just didn't ask you the right questions." "No, they asked me everything." "Was somebody following you that day?" "Or was somebody watching you at Thaw Fest?" "They asked me that." "No." "No one." "Well, what about smells?" "Did you smell anything specific?" "I-I-I don't remember." "I-I was at Thaw Fest, and the next thing I knew," "I-I was back at my house." "I-I don't have any idea about what happened." "I-I wish I did." "You don't know how much I wish I did." "I-is... is this why you asked me in today, John?" "No, course not." "I wanted to talk to you about bread." "(Scoffs)" "It's my daughter!" "It's my damn daughter." "And you were there." "You were there." "And you better get good at remembering something." "Oh, God, you better get good..." "'Cause I'm gonna ask you every time I see you." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Every time." "Huh." "Very interesting, this painting." "Of course." "The manservant who doesn't speak." "Shoulda known." "I bet you don't smile either." "My uncle Andrew and his wife Jane..." "They fell victim to a horrible love triangle." "Another man or another woman?" "The horse, Almond." "Andrew preferred the horse's company to Jane." "Jane preferred the horse's company to Andrew." " And the horse?" " The horse only had eyes for Martin, the stable hand." "And Martin was in love with Maria, the cook's daughter." "Something like that." "Love... it can kick you in the gut and take the top off of your head." "(Plastic crinkling)" "(Clatter)" "There's no need to count." "It's double the amount you asked for." "I'm sure you'd agree" "I've more than held to your terms, Miss Boone." "Now you'll adhere to mine." "I'm not gonna tell anyone about this, Mrs. Haplin." "Oh, if it were only that simple." "What are your plans for that money?" "I don't think that concerns you." "Are you planning a trip to that silly little house on Arrowhead Road, the one with the crooked mailbox?" "Just outside of Seattle?" "You know where I live." "So what?" "I know where you live." "I also know you have a vanilla latte very morning at the center cafe in that darling little town." "And you read the "New York Post" with your cranberry muffin, even though you've never lived in New York City." "Friday nights you'll see an old movie in the local theater." "You fancy yourself a little Lauren Bacall." "But being genuinely brassy means more than having the ability to sneak around and lie to people." "By taking the money, you've agreed to my terms." "You can never leave the Haplin town limits." "(Scoffs)" "Why?" "Oh, Miss Boone." "I'm disappointed, but not surprised." "It's no wonder the consequences of blackmail are lost on someone so pretty." "Did you just take the scenic route to calling me dumb?" "Consider this a gentle lesson." "I've doubled the amount of money to ensure you have a comfortable life in our town." "That's ridiculous." "How are you gonna keep me from leaving?" "The same way I do everything, Henley..." "With ease." "I've gone out to the woods with Eric a hundred times before." "You never had a problem with it." "That was before all these recent goings-on." "You're a Haplin." "That makes you a target." "Don't you understand that?" "He took your sister five years ago." "He came back, left a piece of Lauryn Ward in the bread factory." "What makes you think you're not gonna be next?" "Yeah, what about the six other people that were taken, dad?" "(Cell phone rings) What about Rachel Conroy?" "They're not Haplins, are they?" "Face it, dad." "You don't have a clue." "I gotta go." " Perfect timing." "Your ride's here." " What?" "Perry is gonna be driving you from now on." "I want to protect you, Andrew." "(Door opens) Have a nice day at school, son." "(Door closes) All right, we got two teams searching the woods..." "North-south and east-west, a splinter unit working Cook's Ridge." "Root Beer found something promising in Lauryn Ward's file." "If you remember, when Lauryn disappeared, the Sheriff's office found a letter in their file that she wrote to her mother, saying she wanted to leave town." "But now we know she didn't leave on her own." "She was taken." " So I ran the letter through F.I.S.H." " What's F.I.S.H.?" "The forensic information system for handwriting." "It turns handwriting into mathematical algorithms that you can compare to known samples." "Okay, the bottom line is," "I don't think Lauryn Ward wrote after about leaving town." "Lauryn Ward was a right-handed girl." "Whoever wrote this note was a left-handed guy." "Now when she vanished, Lauryn was dating..." "Greggy Stiviletto." "He was the pitcher on her high school baseball team, was the best south paw in the state." "The thing is, Griff put all five Stivilettos through the wringer after Lauryn went missing and never could connect them to it." "Yeah, but we know something now that Griff didn't know then." "The disappearances stopped five years ago..." "When Greggy went to jail." "But he was standing right in front of you" " at Thaw Fest, T.C." " I don't care." "He gets out of jail, Rachel disappears and his ex-girlfriend's hand shows up at the bread factory?" "Plus, now he may have written the note that started this whole thing?" "Find Greggy." "Bring him in." "You don't have to walk me inside like I'm a kid." "Your father told me to make sure you got to class, and that's what I'm gonna do." "Now stay close." "(School bell rings)" "(Indistinct conversations)" "Okay, Perry, I love the escort and everything, but you can take the rest of the day off." " I'm hanging out with Eric after school." " John didn't okay that." "Andrew." "I'll see you after school." "(Door closes)" "(Birds chirping)" "Hey." "(Laughs) Let's get out of here." "(Banging on door)" "(Gasps)" "Aah!" "Oh." "I didn't mean to scare you, Mrs. Conroy." "Look, I have a package here that needs your signature on it." "I'm sorry, Frank." "Um, I'm just a little bit jumpy." "I can't say I blame you." "Look, uh, for what it's worth, Mrs. Conroy, everyone at the post office is sure glad you're safe." "Thanks." "(Men speaking indistinctly) There's a sinkhole up ahead." "Road's unsafe to drive." "I have to get to St. Paul, so how long is it gonna take to fix?" "A couple hours or..." "I wouldn't measure it in hours." "Weeks, maybe." " It's a real mess up there." " (Man) We have no idea how long." "(Sighs) Okay, well, where's the detour?" "This is the only road to the cities from Haplin." "I'd call whoever's expecting you in St. Paul and tell them not to wait." "(Indistinct police radio chatter)" "And just like that," "Andrew and Georgia's hideaway is complete." "Tell me again why we're doing this." "To show you what it can be like away from the craziness of town, away from all those people, you know, just be us." "And the best part..." "Is that Andrew can grab Georgia... (Giggles)" "Take her in his arms, pepper her with kisses..." "And nothing... not the trees, not the birds, not the squirrels..." "will have a problem with it." "(Birds chirping)" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Can I help you, Miss?" "Yeah." "Uh, can I get a ticket on the next train to St. Paul?" "Sorry, Miss." "A transformer blew somewhere up the line, so no trains are moving in either direction." "A transformer blew?" "Huh." "Wouldn't the... power be off in town or at least here?" "I don't know, lady." "Try back tomorrow." "(Door opens and closes)" "Look at you, T.C...." "Daddy's gun, daddy's badge." "You know, when I heard they made you Sheriff," "I figured you'd haul me in here first chance you got." "But accusing me of being the Magic Man?" "Ah, it's a leap, even for you, pal." "You were sleeping with Lauryn Ward, the first victim." "You go to jail, then it all stops." "You come home," "Rachel Conroy, wife of the guy that sent you away..." "First person gets taken." "You gotta admit, it's a lot of coincidences," " even for you." " Guy who sent me away?" "No, no, no." "He didn't send me away." "He alerted the proper authorities where I was hiding out." "That's all." "And, you know, he knew about it, because it's where we used to hide out when we were kids, after doing all sorts of horrible things to the town folk." "Remember, T.C.?" "All the windows we busted, all the bikes we stole, tires we slashed?" "We were 14, Greggy." "I've changed." "You haven't." "No, no." "I chose not to." "I like who I am." "It really would help you guys if I was the Magic Man." "The whole town would love to believe it." "You could be the hero, but your old man couldn't." "Problem is, I'm not the guy." " Oh, you don't need a lawyer?" " I got nothing to hide." "Yeah?" "Well, it's a good thing." "You can sign this..." "Saying as much." "You're a lefty, huh?" "That's right." "You know what they say about lefties." "What's that?" "We don't have to do things right." "(Bell tools)" "(Lowered voice) Okay, I'll take this one." "(Telephone rings)" "(Ring)" "Miss Boone?" "We're happy to deposit the, uh, cash into your account, but I'm afraid we cannot complete the wire transaction you requested." "Why?" "I-I don't understand." "The other two banks in town said the same thing." "I'm really sorry." "You know, he preferred that horse to his wife." "Excuse me?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "(Water splashes)" "(Sniffles)" "It's my daughter!" "And you were there." "(Rachel screams)" "(Tires screech)" " Hey." " I'm getting Emma from school." "We're going up to my parents." "Rachel." "I can't hold it together, Tommy." "The mailman nearly gave me a heart attack." "I can get you an escort, okay?" "Full-time." "You trust Root Beer, right?" "It doesn't matter who you give me, because..." "I don't know who to be afraid of." "I want you to come with us." "You know I can't do that." "Yeah." "I know." "You'll come see us?" "I love you." "I'll call you when we get to St. Paul." "I'll have to figure something else out." "Her reach is unbelievable." "It'd almost be impressive if she wasn't such an evil creature." "No." "No, don't come down here." "I said I'd handle it." "I'll think of something." "I promise I'll think of something." "Doc Pete wanted me to drop that evidence off for you right away." "Thanks, Shell." "Aren't we just so bad-ass?" "We run off for a secret liaison in the woods," " and we go berry picking?" " I honestly don't know what's better..." "Just being with you or being" " away from everything." " Wanna try that one again?" "You know what I mean." "I just..." "No, all the stuff with my parents, you know," "I miss Addie, too." "Hey." "What if Addie wasn't taken by the Magic Man at all?" "What if all this time they should have been looking for some guy with a white van?" "No, it's too much of a coincidence." "The... the dead flowers, she disappeared from a crowd." "Kids do that all the time, though." "I think we should go to California." "California?" "Yeah." "Good-bye, Haplin." "Good-bye, nutty parents." "Good-bye, Magic Man." "California." "Doesn't that sound awesome?" "I let him read the letter Lauryn Ward wrote to her parents before she left town." "I wanted to see his reaction." "Preliminary handwriting test coming back within an hour." "We got a match, then it's him." "He took the test without a fight." "It doesn't make sense if he's our guy." "I-I don't know, Roger." "I'm not sure." "Well, I am." "Look, it all fits, Tommy..." "The connection with Lauryn Ward, the time-line." "I mean, snatching people from a crowd like that requires help, and Greggy's brothers..." "they listen to his orders" " like they're the word of God." " Okay, so what's his motive?" "He snatches seven people over seven years to cover Lauryn's disappearance?" "Look, you ask him that when the test comes back." "We got seven missing persons out there, seven families waiting for an answer." "Eight families, including my own, Roger." "I had dead flowers on my doorstep, too." "(Door closes)" "I should have said something before." "She wanted to leave, you couldn't let her go, so you kept her for yourself, right?" "She broke up with me the day before she disappeared." "(Chuckles) And you couldn't let that happen." "She was seeing someone else." "Okay?" "Some other guy." "I never found out who." "I just thought she..." "she left town with this other guy." "Uh, he must have wrote this..." "And he must have took her..." "And he must be your Magic Man." "(Gasps) Mrs. Conroy, I startled you." "Everything is startling me today." "Would you care to step into my shop for a cup of tea to refresh you?" "I-I'm actually on my way out of town." "I have to pick up Emma and get on the road." "I just needed to fill a prescription" " for her allergy medicine." " Just one cup." "It's actually, quite fortuitous, bumping into you like this." "I'd very much appreciate a word." " I do feel a little bit better." " I thought you would." "I'm sorry about that out there." "I... thank you." "Well, you've been through quite an ordeal, and I imagine the curiosity of the townsfolk is its own burden." "I don't remember anything about what happened to me." "And not knowing... (Cup clatters) Is that why you're leaving?" "Part of it." "Because people expect you to help in the capture, and you cannot, so they're hostile." "But also, you're troubled because the very man who took you..." "You may have smiled at him in the supermarket checkout queue today." "Yes." "What if I could help you to remember?" "Uh..." "What do you mean?" "I know a way to remember things that the mind takes pains to forget." "But it can only work if you trust me completely." "Yeah, it's..." "Not the best time for you to ask me to trust you." "You know..." "(Clears throat)" "Years ago..." "I had a family..." "A beautiful wife, Kendall, and we had a son." "Simon was a wonderful child..." "Bright, inquisitive, affectionate." "And in the summer of his 7th birthday, we took him to the park." "He had a new toy, a little sailboat that I had made him." "He wanted to play with it in the fountain." "We turned away for an instant, just a few seconds, to buy ice creams on sticks..." "A few seconds that have become a lifetime, because..." "Simon was gone." "And all he left behind was..." "Was this." "My wife never recovered." "She died two years later." "And, uh, no one could persuade me that the cancer in her blood was caused by anything other than grief." "And you..." "Think it was the same man?" "Well, t-there are many similarities between the cases." "The most glaring, of course, being that the day after Simon vanished, we received a bouquet of flowers." "Dead flowers." "Yes." "So when I heard about events in Haplin County," "I came here looking for answers." "You see, Mrs. Conroy, the reasons you want to leave town are the very reasons I came to stay." "Please." "Let me help you to remember." "There may be some solace for both of us in what we find." "I could try." "Hello." "(Kisses)" "(Birds calling)" "The Sheriff's department released the factory to you days ago." "Why is it still closed?" "Well, I-I-I don't care what the Sheriff says." "There may still be some evidence at the factory, maybe there's something that I could find" " that would help bring Addie back." " Oh, please, John." "Don't let the supposed reemergence of the Magic Man trigger your ugly, obsessive tendencies." "We've seen enough of that behavior to last a lifetime." "Mother, we... we just learned that there's a real possibility that she could still be alive, that Addie could still be out there." "And I am not an obsessive." "I am a parent who loves his child..." "A notion which I'm sure is quite alien to you, mother." "Now is not the time to be willful, John." "It doesn't make you seem tough." "It makes you seem cheap." "Well, I'm the president of "Our Daily,"" "and I say it stays closed." "Rachel, I..." "I-I just want to know that you and Emma C. made it all right." "Call me when you can." "Love you." "Hey." "Sorry, Tommy." "Uh, Greggy's handwriting test came back inconclusive." "And none of Lauryn Ward's friends knew anything about her seeing another guy beside Greggy." "My gut says Greggy was telling the truth about the other man in Lauryn Ward's life." "Check her phone records." "Try to get e-mails, too." "Will do." "Hospital's on line five." "(Beeps)" "Hello?" "Pop, you're awake." "Tommy Conroy." "You come here?" "Ohh." "Welcome back." "You were out for weeks." "(Groans)" "How you feeling?" "Mmm." "Mmm." "Raspberry." "How's that?" "When I first started seeing your mother, if she liked something, she'd say, "Mmm." "Raspberry."" "I know what you're thinking." "I ain't still off my nut." "I've just been stuck in here too long." "So what's happening down at the station?" "You know, I overheard a couple of nurses talking about the Magic Man." "I got everything under control, okay?" "You just need to get your rest." "Besides, the doctor said you're getting strength back in your hand." "It usually takes months for that." "You're... you're ahead of schedule, huh?" "I guess I..." "Went somewhere else for a while." "Tommy," "I don't know what happened." "Hey, pop." "It's okay." "We got the best doctors in Minnesota looking after you." "You're gonna be okay." "(Sighs)" "So how's Rachel doin'?" "She's good." "She's good." "She's fine." "And lil bean?" "Oh, you know, she can't wait to see her grandpa." "(Laughs) Why didn't you bring 'em?" "I came straight from the station." "Next time." "Badge looks good on you." "I want you to concentrate on my voice." "The eyes don't matter." "Let them fall closed." "Breathe out fear and uncertainty and breathe in safety and peace." "Rachel, I want you to imagine you're walking through a beautiful garden." "There are high walls all around you." "You are perfectly safe." "I see the walls." "You can smell the flowers." "Roses and lavender and lilies." "I want you to reach out and touch the petals and leaves with your fingers." "There is a path in front of you in the garden and at the end of the path, what do you see?" "I see a door." "A blue door." "Yes." "(Rattling)" "I can't open the door." "That's your conscious mind fighting you." "Fight back." "The answers you crave are beyond that door." "What's on the other side?" "(Gurgles)" "Water." "Now, Rachel, I need you to walk through the door." "Just one step." "Where are you?" "(Whispers) I'm... (Normal voice) Walking underwater, but I can breathe." "And what do you see?" "Fish." "There's so many beautiful colors." "No..." "No, they're... they're being eaten by... by another fish, a-a horrible fish..." "Wait." "There's other people here." " Who are they?" " Uh..." "Women, a child..." "Her hand... it's gone." "Is it Lauryn Ward?" "Oh!" "L-let me go!" "(Gasps)" "(Hyperventilating)" "Rachel, tell me." "Tell me who's got you." "Who is it?" " Tell me who it is." " He... he won't let me turn around." "I can't breathe." "Now count from five, and when I say "one"... (Gasps)" "You will be back here with me." "You will open your eyes." "You will be in the House of Ushers." "Five, four, three, two, one." "(Panting)" "Rachel." " Rachel, please." " I'm sorry, Mr. Grieves." "I have to go." "(Doorbells jingling)" "Jeez." "First rule of entrepreneurship..." "Don't scare the crap out of the customers." "Ah, Miss Boone." "And to what do I owe this pleasure?" "Could you lock the door, please?" "(Lock clicks)" "The contents of this case belong to someone I care about very much, and I can't seem to get it to them, so I need you to, please, take this out of town and send it to her on my behalf." "Why ask me and not your young man?" "Because I've exhausted every possible resource, Mr. Grieves." "Once before, you helped me without my asking." "Now I'm asking." "(Crickets and birds chirping)" "If you have such a great sense of direction, how did we get lost in the first place?" "I was following you." "What is this doing out here?" "(Sighs)" "Anybody home?" "I don't think this is a good idea." "(Hawk cries in distance)" "It's unlocked." " So?" " So it could be the guy." "The guy?" "As in the Magic Man?" "You think he liv in a camper?" "You said so yourself..." ""A freak in a van."" " It is mobile." " Let's just get out of here, okay?" "We can tell T.C. about it, and he can come back here with the police." "It's a trailer, Georgia." "It could be gone by then." "You don't have to come in." "You can wait here." "I can't believe we're doing this." "(Clicks)" "Who is this guy?" "Look for an I.D." "Oh, my God." "We learned about this stuff in chemistry class." "It's a truth serum." "Whoever this guy is, he's a total freak." "Andrew?" "This was Addie's." " What?" "Are you sure?" ""Addie the Octopus"..." "that's what we used to call her, because she was always grabbing at stuff." "So my mother bought this for her." "Georgia, this was Addie's." "Which means that..." "(Squeak)" "(Car door closes, engine starts)" "(Rattling)" "Hey, chief." "I haven't been able to get Lauryn Ward's e-mails yet for Tommy." "I wouldn't worry about it too much." "Between me and you," "I think Tommy's leading you on a wild goose chase." " Stiviletto's the guy." " Well, maybe." "But there's a number that started showing up in Lauryn's phone records about two months before she disappeared." "It's from a group of cell phones that belong to The Bready." "That's where her mother worked." " No surprise there." " Well, this specific number belonged to the president of the factory." "John Haplin?" "He called her several times a day." "You don't think John Haplin's the other man?" "If he took Lauryn, that would explain how her hand turned up at the bread factory." "Well, if he took Lauryn, and if we're right, and the same guy took all the other victims..." "But why would he take his own kid?" "Because that'd be the perfect way to place yourself above suspicion." "If the Magic Man took your kid, well, then hell, you couldn't be the Magic Man." "I know." "I know." "But I'm telling you, he can be trusted." "And for now, I cannot seem to get out of here to get it to you, so it's the only way." "Hey." "Doc Pete's finally finished up." "I got his report on the hand and the hand itself." "Oh, good luck with that." " Thanks." " Good night." "Good night." "(Door closes)" "(Tape creaks)" "(Snap)" "(Creak)" "(Door closes)" "You're here." "Yeah." "Please tell me you came back to stay." "Of course I did." "Why?" "Why'd you come back?" "Because I love you, Tommy, and because I remember." "You remember?" "We can do this together." "I can help you catch this guy." "Mm." "(Omar  the Howlers' "Magic Man" playing)" "Wait." "Wait."
