" Hey, Bish." " Morning, Jamie." "Have you heard from Jared?" "How's he doing?" "His new companion's kind of weird." "But they got a couple baptisms." "Well, good for him." "Hey, Wes." "Hey, April." "How's little Mac?" " Hey, Bishop." " How's the bun?" " The bun's fine, thanks." " It's the oven we're worried about." "The oven is fine, too." "Wes, Sister Perkins is inside." "I don't know what she wants." "She won't talk to me." "All right." " Your check's the receipt." " Thanks, Peg." " Morning, Bishop." " Morning, Barbara." "Well, look who finally decided to drag his butt out of bed." "Don't know why everybody calls you Bishop." "Maybe that's because he's the bishop." "He's a bishop." "There's 1 7 bishops in this town but there's only one sheriff." " Anything important in here?" " Is there ever?" "Besides, bishops aren't supposed to have mustaches." "Just trying to be more like Jesus." "They're also not supposed to be smart-alecks." "Judy Perkins." " What am I, invisible here?" " I already told you... you've been dead for six weeks." "You just don't know it." " Good morning, Stu." " Morning, Sheriff." "I'll be dead someday, you know." "And I'm sure you'll still be hanging around my office." "*^ You're gonna miss me when I'm gone... *^" "Don't you start singing that country music." "*^ You're gonna miss me when I'm gone *^" "*^ You're gonna miss me... *^" "(via intercom) *^ Do you ever want to kiss me...?" "*^" "Um..." "I need to talk to you about a problem I'm having." "Is this temporal or spiritual?" "Pardon?" "Are you here to talk with your sheriff, or your bishop?" "Oh... my bishop." "In that case, could this wait until Sunday?" "I generally don't like to do church business while I'm on the county clock." "I'm sorry." "Normally, I wouldn't, but..." "I really need to get this off my chest." "All right." "Um..." "Would you mind..." "I've never had to confess my sins to a man wearing a gun before." "Oh." "Sorry." "Thanks, Judy." "Peg:" "Just got a call from the development." "A couple of boys are mixing it up." " I'll go." " No, you won't." "You're not an officer anymore." "Yeah, well, I could be if you'd deputize me." " I'm not going to do it." " What am I supposed to do, just take out the trash and sweep the floor?" "Just be retired, for crying out loud." "Peg:" "Why don't you go home and do some crossword puzzles?" "Maybe you should take up golf." "I hear old people enjoy that." "Maybe you should all go straight to hell." "I got 1 5, maybe 20 good years left." "I'll outlive all of you birds, anyway." "That may be, but you're still not going out." "I can out-ride you." "I can out-shoot you." "We don't ride anymore, Stu, we drive." "Wes, your gun." "Oh." "That's all right, I'll just stay here with old Peg, then." "Old Peg?" "Prettier than either one of you." "Why don't you just take him with you?" "Peg's practically married, Stu, and don't you forget it." "That's right." "Maggie's looking down on you." "Maggie's probably got better things to do than look down on me." "*^ You're gonna miss me when I'm gone... *^" "Oh, good heavens." "(country music playing)" " (news radio playing)" " Terry, I don't want... to listen to the news." "That's the real world going on out there." "The outside world." "What makes you think I don't know what's going on out there?" "I'm sick of it." "Murderers, rapists, robbers... kids with guns... it's the same story over and over again." "I'm tired of it." "You will be, too, by the time you're my age." "(chuckles)" "Your age?" "You talk like you're older than Stu." "You just can't pretend it all doesn't happen." " That's all I'm saying." " It doesn't happen." "Not here." "Here's all I care about." "(country music playing)" "There's something worth listening to." "Country music..." "now that's a crime." "That's scary stuff, Wes." "You're an old man, you know that?" "You're the youngest old man I've ever known." "*^ So I tell you how I yearn for you... *^" " Wes:" "We got a call about a fight." " Man:" "Oh, yeah." "That didn't amount to much, just guys blowing off some steam." "Which ones?" "Come on, Wes." "A few punches being thrown, a few names being called." "I stepped in and it was over before it even got started." "What were they fighting about?" "A woman." "And one guy called another guy a spic, and before you know it, the fists are flying." "It's all patched up then?" "Yeah, no trouble at all." "Just like I said, it was over before it even got started." "Will you look at this?" "!" "I could see a church right there, two more off that way, and another one going up over there!" "I've never seen so many churches in all my life, man." " Is that one of them?" " That's one of them." "I love this town!" "Where I come from, we got taverns on every corner, and whorehouses in-between, man!" "I'm glad you like it." "Now get to work." "All right, I think I will." "If you ever finish that house I just may let you buy it." "Worker:" "I might do that, I just might." "Sure is an extroverted type." "You don't want to arrest a potential citizen?" "We don't want to discourage growth, now do we, Sheriff?" "I wouldn't mind slowing it down a bit." "You trying to put me out of business?" "I'm just trying to keep things reined in." "All the construction on the roads, all your out-of-towners coming in for work." "Everything's torn up from here to Salt Lake." "Tell me, Bishop, how many men in your ward are out of work?" "Only the ones that want to be." "That's right." "Prosperity." "And it ain't going to be this way forever." "1 0 years ago, I was living in a trailer park." "Let's enjoy this while we got it." "Growing pains, that's all." "That's right." "Can't stay young forever." "Terry:" "How much money do you think Ralph makes?" "What, in a year?" "I don't know, a couple hundred thousand." "Terry:" "We're cops." "What are we doing being cops?" "I got everything I need." "Real estate keeps going up." "I don't know if I'll ever be able to buy anything." "Terry, I'm paying you as much as I can." "I know that, Wes." "Just... sometimes I think I ought to go back to work for Ralph again, you know, learn how he does it." "I got to start putting money away for my kids, for their missions, college." "Sure do miss her." "She was the only one who'd listen to my missionary stories." "You want a minute?" "Yeah." "All right." "Thanks." "Terry:" "What's up?" "Just some car." "I want to check this out." "Whoa." "Now that's a car." "Pop that glove box..." "see if you can find my ticket book." "(bird squawking)" " (phone ringing)" " Sheriff's office." " I need you to do something." " Shoot." "Get Ryan Parker on the phone." "Have him meet me at the Evans homestead." "Tell him to come right away." "We got a signal seven." " Okay." "Will do." " Give me the number..." " For the FBI office in Salt Lake." " Roger." "Thanks." "What's a signal seven?" "What the heck is a signal seven?" "That's a dead body." "I need you to go into town and get Ed Gray." "We're going to need his tow truck." "Look what they did to her." "They didn't have to leave her like that." "(flies buzzing)" "(sirens wailing)" " Are you Wes Clayton?" " Sheriff Clayton, yes." " Are you the one who found the body?" " Yes, I did." "Agent #2:" "Have you identified the victim?" "No, that's an out-of-state car." "That's why I called you in." " Okay, great." "Thanks." " Agent #2:" "Don't go away." " Sheriff?" " Hey, chief." "I never expected to make a business trip to Brigham." "Oh, I know it." "(sirens wailing)" "We can'tjust let these guys in here." "We got to finish our investigation." "We don't have an investigation." " Is that all right?" " That's great." "Thanks." "That lady died in our town." "We got to take care of this." "We don't have to take care of anything." "This doesn't have anything to do with our town." " What's going on?" " There's been a killing." " It's California plates." " Terry:" "Wes..." "That's an out-of-state vehicle." "We were just another exit ramp." "It could have happened anywhere." "This is right in our own back yard." "People don't even lock their doors in our town." "I don't want them to start." "This doesn't have anything to do with anybody in our town except you and me." "That's where I want it to stop." "Do you understand me?" "Do you understand me?" "!" "Yeah." " Ed, do you understand?" " Yeah." "Terry, you're not even going to talk to your wife about this." "If anybody asks us anything, we're going to keep our mouths shut." " Peg knows, right?" " She knows." "I didn't sign up just to walk kids across the street." "You signed up to serve these people and to protect these people." "And this kind of thing..." "they don't want to know about it." "Sheriff, has there ever been a murder in this town?" "Never." "We'll do the autopsy in Provo." "She'll be there a few more days, if you want another look at her." "Great." "Thanks, Ryan." "We're not stepping on any toes, are we?" "Apparently, I'm taking orders from those two today." "It's all right." "It's fine." "Just take her." "Get her out of here." "All right then." "Hey, Ryan." "I'd appreciate it if the reporters didn't get a hold of this." " I'm not going to make" " If anybody calls..." "If anybody calls, I'll refer them to you." "Thanks." "Don't let those Feds bully you around, Wes." "If I were you, I'd keep my nose in this one." "(engine starts)" "I think we have everything we need here." "Do you guys mind waiting for the tow truck to finish?" "I'll stay." "Give us a call if there's anything else we need to know." "Don't be surprised if you see us around town the next few days." "Listen, I'd rather you left that part to me." "Don't worry, Sheriff." "We'll keep a low profile." "All right." "You want me to bring some food?" "Hot chocolate or something?" "I'm just going to wait for Ed." "He can give me a ride home in the tow truck." "All right." "Something finally happens around here... you just pretend it never did." "It'll all be over, as soon as that car leaves town." "(engine starts)" "(marching band playing)" "(crowd cheering)" "So it is with great honor, we have gathered here today to celebrate one more year, and to wish our beautiful little city" "Happy Birthday, on this, the 1 38th anniversary of its founding." "(beeps)" "We love you, Little Brigham!" "(mild applause)" "(wolf whistles)" "Just be careful." "Watch where you're going." "Okay, go, go." "Guys...!" "Kilo Two, this is Dispatch." "Could you make sure you look where you're going?" "Peg on radio:" "Terry, are you there?" "Terry!" "This is Kilo Two, go ahead." "I'm getting calls about an overflowing irrigation ditch on 600 North." "What do you want me to do about it?" "I'm busy." "I told them we'd get somebody over there." " Why can't they do it themselves?" " Because they're helpless." "I can't do it." "Where's Stu?" "(old car horn honks)" "(cheering)" "Hey, boss." "You keeping this riot under control?" "We're trying." "Have there been any developments on that..." "No." "You're coming to my baptism aren't you?" "I wouldn't miss it." "You know that." "(chuckles)" "Excuse me." "Steve, I need you to do me a favor." "Sure, anything you need." "Are you still developing your own film?" "Mm-hmm." "I need you to develop these for me." "Take that to one of those quickie stops." " They can open it right up." " No, I can't take it anywhere." "I need you to develop these, then I need you to bring the prints back to me... directly to me." "You're not to talk about what you see in here." "All right." "Excuse me." "You think you two could be any more conspicuous?" "Sheriff." "You're sticking out like a couple of sore thumbs." "Oh, that's much better." "Thanks." "We've gotten a call on that, but we're pretty busy with the parade." "I understand that." "Yes, definitely." "I'm sure you will." "Okay." "All right." "Let's go get some cotton candy." "Excuse me." "Goodbye to you, too." " You're missing all the fun." " You want to answer the phone?" " No." " (phone rings)" "I didn't think so." "Sheriff's office, this is Peg." "Yes." "Yes, ma'am, we've already gotten a call on that." "It was the head trauma that killed her." "I'm sure you picked up on that." "It was kind of hard to miss." "We pulled debris samples from underneath her fingernails." " Maybe she scratched them." " We pulled debris and fibers from her clothes, from the car, we got hair, blood samples." "Hopefully the mess wasn't all hers." " Was she raped?" " No." "And it doesn't look like a robbery." "We are checking the interstate records to find anything that looks familiar to anybody, but so far, no luck." "But it is the weekend." "Listen, I've got a deputy... who's eager to help out on this one." "I could lend him to you, if it would help speed things up." " No." "Thanks." " Agent #2:" "Relax, Sheriff." "This woman's only been dead for a day and a half." "It's not like her blood's crying out for vengeance just yet." "Are you Mormon?" "Sure." " Jack Mormon." " So I'm taking a little sabbatical." ""Protect and serve," my eye." "Why don't you help me shovel some of this crap?" "Did you say something to me?" "This hearing aid's giving me a piece of hell tonight." "Hey!"

"You have to know all the different ways you can get hurt." "But how does that fit in with something else that Jesus said?" "We're supposed to be like little children, right?" "Christ says, unless we're like little children, we will not enter the Kingdom of God." "And children are totally innocent." "They're gullible." "Do we have to lose our innocence to gain wisdom?"

"(shutter clicks)" "(clicks)" "Reporter: ... a resident of Brigham, Utah, who knew the second victim." " Is that true?" " Man:" "Yeah, that's true." "I took her to the junior prom last year." "We were... you know, we were very close." "Everybody says she was murdered." "Yeah, there's no doubt about it." "Was she... was she violated?" "Yeah." "Do you have any men working for you that might be capable of something like that?" "No, I don't." "Most of your men are outsiders." " They're migratory." " Yes, they are." "Maybe you don't know them as well as you think you do." "I know enough that I don't have any of that kind working for me." "How do you know that?" "The way I figure it is, a guy who does something like this, kind of has to work himself up to it." "He has a record of some kind... a rape, or assault, or some kind of violence." "Hey, do you remember that kid... that kid who broke into my office several years ago?" " Yeah, we got him." " Yeah we did." "I also found out that kid had a history of that kind of thing." "It's my own fault." "I never did any kind of background check." "I took his application and I took his word." "I deserved to get robbed."

"The best anyone can figure, a truck, or somebody, took a wide turn, he swerved and went off the road... it was up in the canyon, so if you go off the road," " You're in trouble." " Nobody stopped?" "Nobody reported it?" "Half the town was out looking for him." "He was supposed to perform a wedding that night." "Terry was the one that finally found them." "Reporter:" "Did she have any trouble with drugs or alcohol?" "Mr. Merrill:" "Absolutely not." "Do you know anybody who could have done something like this?" "No, we don't know anybody that could have done something so... horrendous as this." "Reporter:" "What's the last thing your daughter said to you?" "She must have said something." "Richie died instantly." "Sarah, too, probably." "Her neck was broken." "And Wes..." "Wes was in a coma for eight days." "He told me once that that was the worst part of it... that he couldn't remember." "He doesn't know if it was his fault or not." "He still wears his wedding ring." "They were a beautiful family." "And that boy... (softly) that boy." "That boy followed him around like a shadow." "The weird thing was..." "(sighs) they held the funeral without him." "Nobody thought he was going to make it."

" Girl:" "I want to be 20." " Why do you want to be 20?" "'Cause then I could drive." "You can drive when you're 1 6, sweetie." " I know." " You can also date when you're 1 6."

"(truck beeping)" "You picked a heck of a day to move." " Thanks for coming by." " My pleasure." "(children's voices)" "You didn't have to bring all this." "You've got enough to worry about." "If we left it to the men," " We'd be eating cold pizza and donuts." " That's about right." "Hey, thank you." "Of course." "Anytime." "Sometimes I look at them and I can't believe they all came out of my body." "Don't even talk like that." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I keep forgetting." "I'm trying to pretend I have easy deliveries." "Hi!" "What are you doing here?" " Hey, Terry." " I had to see how my baby's doing." "We're good." " (crying)" " It's okay!" "Terry:" "Hey!" "(laughing)" "Coming back for seconds, eh, Bishop?" "Yeah, you caught me." "I'm just teasing you." "(playful growl) Tickle here." "Did Terry tell you we finally chose a name for the baby?" " No, he didn't say anything." " It was his choice this time." "I tried to talk him out of it... but I suppose we're going to be calling the baby Wes." "That's a good name." "Yeah, I thought you'd like it." "All right." "Go for it." "You're not big on hunting, are you, Wes?" "Nope." "It might improve your marksmanship." "No offense." "I went on a deer hunt once with my brother, Alan, and a couple of his friends." "They were big hunters." "I've already told you this story." "No, you haven't." "Anyway, we went out all day and didn't get anything." "I must have been, oh, 1 2... 1 3 maybe." "I didn't even see a deer." "I started shooting at anything that moved, and I scared up this little jack rabbit and he took off." "I raised my rifle." "I fired and he went down." "We all ran over there and he was still alive." "He was still kicking." "Alan said," ""You better put him out of his misery."" "So I put the end of my rifle up... up to his head and I pulled the trigger." "You know, I had this strange feeling." "I mean I liked it." "You know?" "There was some part of me that really liked killing that animal." "I was like some part of me coming up that I didn't like, so I went home and I put the gun away and I never went hunting again." "You know, I hadn't thought about it but..." "I haven't fired a weapon at any living creature since then." "Did you take it home?" "The rabbit." "Did you eat it?" "No." "No, we left it there... in the dirt." "(gunshot)" "You know, I think some men just have a taste for killing." "I think they like it." "The guy we're looking for... do you think... do you think this guy could ever be cured?" "Do you think he could..." "I don't know, repent?" "I don't know." "I have a hard time imagining it." "Well..." "I know one cure." "Terry:" "Edward Conrad Gray, having been commissioned of Jesus Christ," "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." " Amen." " All:" "Amen." "We're all set up here." "You ready to go?" "Yeah, I'll be there in a minute." "It's not your fault, you know." "You're a good sheriff, Wes." "Better than I ever was." "That's not true and you know it." "It is true, and you know it." "That's a compliment." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Little places like this... our days are numbered, you know?"

"Well, there was nowhere else to put it." "Oww." "*^ I play the banjo I play the banjo... *^" "(country music playing)" "Did you boys order these empty beer bottles?" "Yeah, right there." "Right over here." "These ones are from table seven." "And their names are Glen," "Dave, Danny..." "How we going to keep all this straight?" "We don't have to." "All we got to do is run the prints." "If there's a match, we get a name and a photo." " And a rap sheet." " That's right." "Who thought up this scheme?" "I wish I could say it was me." "Wes." "Son of a gun." " Do you want a smoke?" " No." "I don't smoke... anymore." "Okay." "Hey, Pete." "Hey, Sheriff." "What are you doing here?" "Just keeping my eye on the party." "You still my bishop or did they release you?" "I'm still your bishop." "Well, I'm going to keep an eye on you tonight." "Likewise." "Hey, hey." "What can I do for you boys?" "What's your name?" "Same as it was five minutes ago." "It's Peg, you idiot." "Well, Peg, how come it is that... you don't have a name tag like all the other girls here?" " 'Cause I'm new." " She's the new girl!" " That's right." " You know, that's, uh... that's kind of a coincidence because I happen to be looking for a new girl." "Are you now?" "Okay, well, what can I get for you?" "Give us another round, please." " Okay." " And some food, you got any food?" " Mm-hmm." "We got food." " All right, yeah, whatever." " Okay." " Chicken wings." "Anybody missing?" "Just about everybody will roll in before last call." "Even the non-drinkers will come in, shoot some pool, chase some skirt." "I haven't been asked out on so many dates in all my life." "Well, the truck's full and so is the back of your car." "How much are these guys going to drink anyway?" " Things are slowing down in there." " Thank heavens!" "Terry, I need you to take Peg back to the office." "Peg, go ahead and start dusting these bottles." "Roger that." "Stu, you stay for another hour or so, then take this load back to the office." " Can you stay awake that long?" " Sure, I can stay awake." "All right." " Go to work, men." " And woman." "I think we're going to get this guy." "(tire bursts)" "Great." "Whoa." "A little bright there, huh?" "Sorry." "You need a hand?" "I think they gave me the wrong tool." "Yeah." "That happens." "I got something in the truck." "Thanks." "Give this a try?" " Hey, Stu." " James." "You're up late." "Well, you know what they say..." "no rest for the wicked." "Is this all for you?" "(mumbles) Ah, give me a pack of..." "What was that?" "A pack of cigarettes, Jamie." "Straights." "No filter." "One pack." "You want me to get you a Playboy, too?" "I don't want a Playboy." "I want a pack of cigarettes." "Okay?" "I'm not going to give them to you." "Well, you got them there for sale." "I'm the customer." "You're either going to sell them to me, or I'll go elsewhere and you suit yourself." "Dog-gone things are going to kill you." "I think I'm going to tell the bishop on you." "You mind your own business." "I'll get around to telling the bishop soon enough." "I always do." " Thank you, very much." " You're not very welcome." "You just won't make it easy for me, will you?" "Jamie?" "James?" "(muffled screaming)" "(gunshot)" "(police siren blaring)" "Sheriff, I'm sorry." "Steve, let's give him a minute." "Bottles are still in the back of the truck." "I guess they didn't notice he had them." "Get them back to the office as fast as you can." "We don't have any time to waste." "Have you had enough of the real world yet, Terry?" "(police radio chatter)" "Hey, Spence." "Are you going to find my sister?" "I'm going to find her." "You say a few prayers in the mean time though." " Okay." " Okay." "How many sets of prints are we going to have?" "43 7 bottles, 43 7 prints." "Some will be duplicates." "Terry:" "Triplicates." "We're going to be here all night." "(knocking)" " It's Ed." " Yeah, let him in." "If we find anything, it's not admissible in court, is it?" "We're just trying to identify some suspects." "I just want to find Jamie." "Do you think she's still alive?" " Hey." " Hey, Ed." "I heard about Stu." "Yeah." "This is Meredith Cole, she's with the FBI." "Oh." "Hi." "Nice to meet you." "Is there anything I can do to help?" "Why don't you grab some gloves." "Help Peg dust for prints." "Really?" "Dust for prints." "Wow." "It's not all that exciting, believe me." "Okay." "We'll find her." "First one's coming up." "Peg:" "Well, what do you know?" "I thought every man in that bar had a record of some kind." "We'll only flag the violent ones." "Sex offenders." "Peg, I want you to get on the phone." "See how many men you can get to meet me at the gazebo at 7:00 a.m." "It's 2:30 in the morning." "Doesn't give us much time." "Okay." "There's going to be a lot of people hating me tonight." "Just tell them Jamie Harlan's life is on the line." "You won't hear much grumbling." "(computer rings)" "You've got yourself a nice town." "Yeah." "Yeah, they're good people." "Where are you from?" "You a Salt Lake girl?" "No." "No, I'm just passing through." "Doing some training." "A Jack Mormon." "How's that going?" "Oh, I'll whip him into shape." "Actually, I grew up in Manhattan." "Have you ever been there?" "It's nice." " Different, I hear." " Oh, yeah." "Out here, with all the empty space, it's kind of creepy." "Creepy?" " Really?" " Sure." "You seem like a pretty reasonable man." "Intelligent." "Down to earth." "Okay." "I've been reading some of your books." "Your..." "Scriptures." "All this about angels and prophets," "Jesus talking to people." "Do you really believe all that?" "Yes, I do." "You're just a little naive, that's all." "Excuse me?" "I've heard it all my life." "Because we don't want to experience some of the things out there, some people think we're naive." "We have our own experiences." "We get down on our knees and we say our prayers and do our best to live the way God wants us to live... and every now and again he gives us a... a little experience." "I guess we're both naive to one extent or another." "Just about different things." "(clicks)" "(clicks)" "I drove by." "Every cop in town was there." "We only got two cops." "Yeah, and they were both there." "All right." "It's 7:00." "Meredith, can you take over at the computer?" "Don't give up." " Wes:" "Ed." " Hmm?" "Now how many of you men served full-time missions for the church?" "Now what I'm going to ask you to do is going to feel just like the old days." "I want you to pair off, two by two." "You're going to go from house to house." "You're going to knock on every door." "You're going to search every home in town." "Now I want you to be nice about this." "These people are your neighbors." "But I want you to be thorough." " Mike?" " I have to be to work by 9:00." "Nobody's going to work today." "Jamie Harlan's life is more important than any of yourjobs." "You're going to look in every closet and every corner, in every attic, in every space that's large enough to hold a human body." "If anybody doesn't let you search the house... one of you is going to sit down on the front curb and the other one's going to come back here... immediately." "Except in that circumstance, you will not separate." "If anybody decides to take a 1 5-minute break," "I want to know about it." "I don't want anybody to have time to hide or move anything." "Do you understand?" " Ivan." " Does this mean we're all suspects?" "Yes, it does." " Ivan:" "Morning, Megan." " Hi." "The sheriff's asked us to go house to house in the town." "We're looking for Jamie Harlan." "Yeah?" "Morning Sister Peck." "Me and Mike have been asked by the sheriff to come search the homes here in town." "We're hoping you won't mind if we come inside and have a look around?" " You want to what?" " You heard that Jamie Harlan's missing?" "We're searching all the homes in town." "You're not coming into my house." "You don't have a warrant." " You're not even policemen." " No, ma'am, we're not." "We're just out here trying to do the right thing." "You're not coming into my house." "Is Steve home?" "Maybe we could talk to him." "No, he's not." "He's right..." "this is like being missionaries." "I'll wait here at the curb if you want to run into town." "I'm not running anywhere." "Ben:" "Here we go." " She won't let you in?" " No, not an inch." "(doorbell rings)" "Clara, this is Sheriff Clayton." "I want you to open up this door!" "There's a young girl's life at stake!" "Either open up this door or I'm going to break it down!" "Clara!" "You guys stay right here." "Kilo One to Kilo Two." "Terry?" " Come with me." " What's going on?" "You just come with me." "Steve:" "Bishop." "What's going on?" "Your mother won't let us search the house." "Well, you don't have a warrant." "Do you really want me to get one?" "This isn't right." "This just isn't right." "You should be ashamed of yourself!" "Poking around in my house!" " I'm going to sue this town!" " Mother!" "I'm going to sue this town for every penny its got!" "Clara, stay back." "Check under the bed." "Steve, I want you to let me in this closet." " Bishop." " Open this door." "No." " What are you doing?" "!" " Clara, stay back!" " Get your hands off him!" " Get back!" "Okay, Steve, this is getting out of hand." "I want you to unlock this door before somebody gets hurt!" "Steve!" "The key's in the cup there." "(crying)" "Let him go." "You have a darkroom in the garage." "We're going to need to see it." "Come on." "I kept meaning to talk to you about..." "I think I would die if anyone knew." "Steve..." "I need you to come back with me to the station." "For questioning." " Bishop..." " Don't..." "Don't call me "Bishop."" "Right now, I have to care about the people in this town a lot more than I care about you." "Do you understand me?" "I never hurt anybody." "Not anybody." "Mike:" "What's going on, Bishop?" "Go ahead and get these people back to their houses." "It's all right." "There's nothing going on here." "This is the Peck's house." "Let's go, there's nothing wrong here." "Come on, let's go." "There's nothing wrong here." "Who's idea was this fingerprint thing anyway?" "Just shut up." "Peg." "Peg!" "Yeah?" "I need the files on Lisa Colvin and Tammy Hillam." "Meredith had them out." "I'll find them." "All right, here comes the last one." "Wes!" "This had better be him." "Come on!" "Son of a gun." "Peg:" "I know him." " Who is that?" " That's that construction guy." "Big guy." "I remember him." "Come on, give me the rap sheet." " Possession of marijuana." " That's it?" "You've got to be kidding." "You get anything?" "I don't think so." " Now what?" " Now you go home and get some rest." " Wes..." " Neither of you have slept in 48 hours." "I'm going to need you fresh again tomorrow." "How long has it been for you?" "I'll be fine." "It's all right." "We've done everything we can do for now." "Would it be okay if we said a prayer?" "Sure." "Peg:" "Heavenly Father... right now, we're kind of at the end of our rope." "We're losing some of our friends, some of our family." "Everything's falling apart." "Nobody trusts anybody." "Everybody's afraid." "And we're just so tired." "Please... help us find Jamie." "Please don't let her die." "Help us find this man who... keeps taking our friends." "And if we're just not... smart enough, or... strong enough to stop him... then... please take it into Your hands." "Please... please, Lord." "Please stop this man." "Please make him stop." "In the name of Jesus Christ, amen." " Amen." " Amen." "Wes:" "Thanks, Peg." "Here are the files." "Thanks." "Hey, Peg." "You knew her, right?" "Tammy Hillam." "Before she took off." "She was a blonde?" "If she's a blonde, I'm a double D." "What do you mean by that?" "She's a blonde in a bottle." "That girl's had red hair from the day she was born." " Good night." " Good night." "Oh, hey." "Are you going to let Steve out before you go?" "I don't know." "I haven't made up my mind yet." "We really don't have anything to hold him on." "I know that." "Will you... will you walk Peg to her car?" "Yeah." "Just call me if you need me." "I will." "Do you still carry that.38 in your purse?" "This old thing?" "I only carry this when I don't know who to shoot." "You want a lift?" "I'm just going to walk." "Are you sure?" "I'll be okay." "Okay." "See you bright and early." "Good night, Peg." "Good night." "(screams)" "Oh!" "You scared the hell out of me." "You scared me." "What are you doing in here, anyway?" "I was waiting for you." "I got tired." "I fell asleep." "Come on." "Get out." "I'll drive." "Hi, this is Sheriff Clayton." "Is Ryan still there?" "Maybe you can help me." "Who is this?" "Reed, I need some information about the California woman." "The one that was killed in Brigham." "Yes, something from the autopsy report." "Can you pull that for me?" "Yeah, sure I can hold." "I'm going to take off and get some sleep." "I'm going to leave everything set up," " If that's all right?" " Yeah, sure." "Meredith, do you need a place to stay?" "My house..." "it's kind of empty." "I'm going to be here tonight." "No, thanks." "I'll just grab a motel." "I have an FBI charge card." "Never leave home without it." "Yeah, no, I'm still here." "Yeah, look under hair color." "I need to know if she was really blonde." "Thanks for the offer." "Yeah." "No, it's a strange question, but I need to know if she was a natural blonde or if she dyed her hair." "Natural blonde." "You're absolutely sure about that?" "No, no." "Uh-huh." "Yeah." "Thanks, Reed." "Where are you taking me?" "My place." " Ed..." " Don't Ed me, Peg." "This is not a make-out thing." "I don't want you spending the night alone, or any night alone, until they catch this guy." "No fooling around?" "Oh, I don't know." "No." "I'm saving myself for our wedding night." "You better be." "Father in heaven..." " Are we here?" " Yeah." " Did you clean?" " No." "Come on, come on, come on." "Recording:" "We're sorry, the cellular phone you are calling is currently unavailable, or out of the..." " Bishop." " What are you doing up?" "The baby's decided he's a night owl." "I need to come in." "Yeah." "Come on in." "Between this baby and little Mac I don't know if I'll ever get any sleep." " Is Terry home?" " Yeah, he's in the kitchen." "He couldn't sleep either." "Are you hungry?" " Did you get any dinner?" " No." "Hey." "(chuckles)" "I thought you were going to get some sleep." " (baby crying)" " There he goes again." "I'll be back." "What's on your mind?" "I don't think..." "I'm ever going to forgive myself." "What are you talking about?" "You know, Sarah had this way of getting... behind my eyes." "She could help me understand what I was seeing." "If she was still here," "I would have figured out this thing a long time ago." "I know I'm no substitute for Sarah, if you want to talk." "Lisa Colvin." "Do you remember her?" " Pretty girl, red hair." " Yeah." "She died in that rock climbing accident a few years ago." " Right after you got here." " Mm-hmm." "1 6 years old." "I can't stop thinking about those shoes she was wearing." " Remember?" " No." "The shoes..." "they weren't made for hiking at all." "It never occurred to me to look for foul play." "It was just an accident, right?" "Then Tammy Hillam." "She leaves for Hollywood and just disappears." "All this time we've been looking for her in Los Angeles." "I have this feeling that she didn't get very far from town." "When you came to town," "Ralph couldn't stop talking about you." "He said you were the best worker he ever had." "Returned missionary, Eagle Scout, hard worker." "When I needed part-time help," "I didn't think twice." "I just deputized you." "Then when I needed you full-time, it never crossed my mind to run your prints." "I didn't even make you fill out an application." "It couldn't have happened anywhere, but a place like this." "I finally got around to running your prints." "The strange thing is, you don't come up as Terry Woodruff." "I found Terry, though." "I found him in Snowflake, Arizona." "There was an article about how he drowned." "In the Colorado River on a youth trip two weeks after he got home from his mission." "There's another kid in town who spent four years in prison for raping and almost killing a little girl." "A little red-haired girl." "The church folks talked in the paper about how he had turned his life around, how he found God in prison." "And then he just disappeared." "You know, the thing is... your prints match that man." "I want you to tell me... what you've done with Jamie's body." "There's a... there's this spot... about a half a mile up the canyon." "The horse trail forks off." "There's a little patch of Joshua trees." "Joshua trees." "I put her in there." " Tammy Hillam." " (sobbing)" "Did you put her in there, too?" "I don't know what's wrong with me." "I don't know why I can't stop." "I..." "I've tried... so hard... to be good." "You've got to help me." "I don't want to go to hell." "Put those on." "There's one thing I can't make sense of." "That woman from California." "Her hair wasn't red." "It was red... when I finished with it." "Terry..." " Put on those cuffs." " They don't forgive you." "Not ever." "For the rest of your life, no matter how good you are, everybody knows." " I had no choice." " (cocks)" "I had to become somebody else." "Terry, take your hands off that weapon, and put on those handcuffs." "This whole thing's your fault." "You put a badge on me and a gun in my hand." "You were supposed to protect this town from people like me." "You never even checked my background." "What were you thinking?" "You brought the wolf... right into the center of the flock." "Terry... take your hands off that gun." " Terry?" " April, stay back." " What have you done?" " Terry, please." " Terry, what's going on?" " Terry:" "You're so naive." "You think you can just close your eyes and the world's going to pass you by." "You think you can just... get down on your knees at night, and say your prayers, and God is going to protect you from people like me." "(Terry snorts)" "Well, guess what, Sheriff?" "Jamie was praying pretty hard at the end." "And come to think of it, so were the others." "Isn't that something?" "God isn't going to stop me." "For all the praying that goes on around here, you'd think God would care a little bit more about this town." "What is he talking about?" "Terry, take your hands off that gun." "You might as well have killed those girls yourself." " (baby crying)" " You're responsible." "You've got blood on your hands." " Bishop, no!" " Terry, please." "When these parents find out what you've done, they're going to spit on your grave." " Put the weapon down." " What are you doing!" "?" "April, take the baby out." "Take him out!" "What do you think, Wes?" "When I raise this gun, am I going to point it at my head or yours?" "Tell them I'm sorry, Wes... when you see those girls." " You tell them I'm sorry." " (gun fires)" "No!" "No!" "(baby crying)" "(April sobbing)" " April..." " You get out!" "Get out of here!" "(sobbing)" "(sobbing)" "(congregation singing)" "(knocking)" "(door opens)" "Hello." "We're wrapping things up." "I just wanted to come in and say goodbye." "We found out about the California woman." "Turns out she was born and raised in Snowflake, Arizona." "We figure he must have pulled her over for a speeding ticket, something like that." "Maybe she recognized him." "(Priest preaching)" "The meeting's starting." "Are you going in?" "I was supposed to protect them." "I was supposed to take care of them." "Nobody blames you." "You're a good man, Wes." "(organ playing)" "You really are." "Congregation:" "*^ Nearer, my God *^" "*^ To Thee *^" "*^ Nearer to Thee *^" "*^ Even though it be a cross *^" "*^ That raiseth me *^" "*^ Still all my song shall be *^" "*^ Nearer, my God, to Thee *^" "*^ Nearer, my God, to Thee *^" "It's Bishop."
