Hey.

Here you go.

Here ya go.

Sometimes it feels
like things never change.

But I promise you.

They do. They have to.

And I'm not saying it's easy.

Change comes
with feelings of loss.

And...

We might feel resistance.

Like there's so much in
the world that needs changing.

Where am I supposed to start?

Right?

When you feel that way,

that is the moment
to begin work.

On whatever fires you up,
you just start chipping away.

And if you look around
this room,

you'll see
that you're not alone.

Don't ever feel like
there's nothing you can do.

Please.

That's my wish for you.

And now you've taken this class

I know you won't be afraid
to use your words.

All right.

That's all I've got.
You have 90 minutes.

Make me proud.

Well done.

Uh, Professor Guidry,

I just wanted to say
thank you for dealing

with my crazy schedule.

Gretchen,
that is so sweet of you,

but you're the one
who made it work.

I wish you had another
class I could take.

I like teaching the basics.

As the popular aphorism goes,

"Those who can't do teach,"

and those-- those who can't
teach become deans,

'nother conversation.

George has
played a critical role

in building the culture
of this department

over the years and we have
all benefited from his wisdom

and we have had our spirits
lifted by his good humor.

And man,
on a-- on a more personal note,

I am just
humbled and grateful

to call you a colleague,
a mentor and a fishing buddy.

Seriously, folks,
this guy can cast a fly.

I have seen him get a rise
out of a brown trout in one

foot of stillwater,
I am not kidding you.

Anyway, I've
embarrassed the man enough.

To George.

Thanks, man.

It's gonna be hard
to fill your shoes, George.

Tell ya that much.

Hey, Arthur.

Sandra,
how ya holdin' up?

You doin' okay?

- I'm good, I'm good.
- Yeah.

I didn't want to put you
on the spot in the meeting,

but my sincere condolences.

I'm just glad that
she's not suffering anymore.

Yeah. Yeah.
She's in a better place now.

I-- I-- I did
have a quick question.

Yeah.
Okay, well, walk with me,

'cause I got to get home.

Hey, Gretchen,
can you find a tote bag

for some of this stuff?

Did you see
a red truck this morning?

I see a red truck
every time I open my eyes,

it's practically the state car.

- Hey, Todd.
- Nice holiday.

See ya, merry Christmas.

I mean, in the canyon.

It was parked in my driveway.

Probably hunters, right?

I don't know.

Um...

You know, Susan lost
her mom a few years back.

It-- it brings up
all of the unresolved shit.

Takes time.
Just go easy on yourself. Okay?

Yeah, you're probably right.

And I expect to see
you at the Christmas party!

There's gonna be eggnog!

Come on!

C'mon, baby.

- Morning, ma'am.
- Good morning to you.

It's a prime
spot you got here.

Hey, we just figured
we'd walk up into the woods.

We won't be any trouble for ya.
We'll stay out of your hair.

You must have
got my note, though.

I put it on
your truck yesterday.

That's the first
I heard of any note.

What-- What did it say?

It said I'd prefer you
not park here.

Uh-huh.

It's just there's
not a lot of good jumping

off points around here.

You could always
come in from the other side.

The other side?

How far is that?

About 15 miles.

Fifteen miles.

Ma'am, we're not gonna
put a bullet

in anyone's house
or shoot anybody's cow.

I didn't think you were.

Yeah, but you're telling me
you want us to walk

15 miles in the snow.

That's not what I said

and I'm not
telling you to do anything.

All I'm saying
is before you park

on someone's property,
you have to ask.

I heard about you.

Just didn't
know it was this canyon.

- All right.
- Forget about her.

Get in the truck.

Too much.

Look,
obviously, nobody objects

to the basic concept.

I just think,
first and foremost,

we need to look at cold,
hard qualifications.

So, like we said,
in the beginning,

our job is to present the three
best candidates to the dean.

Period.

Well,
I guess I'm just confused

about what we mean by best.

I don't think we should
be trying to fill

some kind of quota.

Oh, course not.
No one is forcing our hand.

These are just factors
we should consider

among many others.

Um, did anyone else
want to chime in?

Yes.
Faith, you have a comment?

To me, learning is about

asking questions
and challenging yourself.

Over the years,
some of my very best students

have been Indians
from the reservation

because they bring this whole
other experience into class.

I think we could all
stand to listen more and learn

more from people who don't have
the same perspective as us.

You can call it diversity.
I don't know.

It just seems like
the right thing to do

to bring in different
sorts of people when we can,

rather than doing the same
old thing we've been doing.

I think your point's
very well taken, Faith.

Let's make it a priority.

Um... all right.

Ma'am, would you mind
spelling your last name for me?

G-U-I-D-R-Y.

Cassandra Guidry.
That's a name.

Where you from originally?

New Orleans.

New Orleans.

What do they call that, uh...

-Uh--
-The Big Easy.

The Big Easy. That's right.
I was getting there.

There's a lot of history
down there, you know?

You work in town?

I teach at the university.

Is that right?

What subject you teach?

I'm sorry.
Is this relevant?

Yeah. Sorry.

Um, you said your first direct
contact-- your only direct

contact with them
was in the driveway

when they're trying to park?

Two days ago.
That's correct.

Okay. And, uh, did they
threaten you at all that time?

Not overtly,
but I have definitely

been made to feel threatened.

Okay. Um...

Ms. Guidry.

City environment, you catch
somebody on your property,

that's a bad thing, so you
contact law enforcement, right?

Out here,
things are a little different.

And people,
generally, they tend to handle

this sort of thing
amongst themselves.

You know,
you let the small things

go to avoid a bigger
problem down the road--

Officer, they shot
an arrow into my door.

I understand that,
but you did tow their truck.

Perhaps I should not
have done that,

but I was well
within my rights.

Oh, of course you were.
Of course.

But you can see how that sort
of thing, you know,

might upset a person.

And I've got to warn you,
that these two gentlemen,

they are likely to see
you're involving the local

sheriff's department
as yet another escalation.

Why do you keep
calling them gentlemen?

Did you happen
to catch their license plate?

2-3-8-3-9-5.

And why did you collect
all of this, exactly?

I mean, most folks,
they wouldn't think to keep

all of this stuff.

I guess I'm not most folks.

Yeah. So...

Well,
thank you for your time.

So, what happens now?

Well, I've got a pretty good
idea who these boys are,

so I work with them,

see if I can't
straighten this out.

Great.
I'll get my coat.

Ma'am, there's really no
need for you to come along.

Hello.

How's it going in here, today?

What is she doing here, Gus?

-Lady, what is your problem--
-Hey, hey, hey

Let's just relax here, okay?

There's no need
for you to talk to her.

You just talk to me.
Keep it civil.

We're gonna
do this right now, Gus?

This is honest
work I'm doing here.

You're gonna get me fired.

I'm not gonna
get you fired. I promise. Okay?

It seems you boys put an arrow
in her door last night.

Is that right?

No, I don't know
anything about that.

Did she tell you that she damn
near broke my fucking axle?

Hey,
let's just relax. Okay?

She's pretty
up front with you.

She doesn't
want you on her property.

You got to respect that,
all right?

That's pretty funny.

You talking
about respect, Sheriff.

I'm not the sheriff
and you know that.

I'm the acting sheriff.

All right, shit, man.

-Can we wrap this up?
-Yeah, we can wrap it up.

You stay
off her goddamn property.

You find someplace
else to hunt.

Is that clear?

No, you gotta say it.

-Yep.
-Yeah, what?

-Yeah, we're clear.
-Great.

Cool.

Now, where can I find
your brother?

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

What fun
it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way

Not what I was expecting.

Look, I can't
stop you from tagging along,

but I'm not here
to chit chat, okay?

Should we call for backup?

What backup? We've got two
officers to cover 300 square

miles and one
of them's currently

on administrative leave.
So that leaves me.

What happened to the other one?

What'd I say about chit chat?

What?

How we doin'?

Do me a favor.

Take your mask down, I like
to see who I'm talking to.

Do you hear me, son?

Behind you.

Afternoon, gentlemen.

Now, I'm not
here to arrest anybody.

Just need to have a word
with one of you boys.

What's the deal, guys?
I know you can hear me.

Okay. Everybody step forward!

You put your saws down,
you take your masks off!

Or what? You're gonna
shoot us, Wolf?

Nobody's shooting anybody.

Yeah. Why don't you tell
that to my cousin.

I didn't shoot your cousin--

Your piece of shit boss did.

Now he's collecting hazard
pay with his feet kicked up.

My cousin got a hole
in his back--

All right,
I'm done talking!

Take your masks off right now!

Why the fuck would we do that?

Because I told you to,
that's why--

- Fuck you, Wolf.
- Fuck you.

Everybody better calm down!

Yo, why you open your holster?

I'm not gonna ask you again.

Why did you open
your fucking holster?

Dougie, goddamn it,
I know you. I know your family.

-I don't wanna hurt--
-You wanna kill us too, pig?

-Fuck you--
-Back the fuck up and put--

Hey, hey!

Who the fuck are you?

You're angry about your cousin.

I'd be angry, too.

And whoever did it should
be brought to justice.

How is that gonna
happen if it was the fuckin'

sheriff who pulled the trigger?

Especially if it was
the fuckin' sheriff... right?

We all gotta play by the same
rules if this is gonna work.

Where is the sheriff,
right now?

Probably Florida or something,
tanning his pasty ass.

Right.
But he's not here.

No one here was involved
with your cousin's shooting.

Correct?

Okay.

Now, we'll get out of your way.

There's no harm done.

And I'm sorry for your family.

Well,
that was a big success.

Really glad
you came along today.

I told you that around here,

contacting authorities
only makes things worse.

Then what is the point of you?

What exactly do you do?

Yeah, why don't you tell me how
to do my job? That'd be great.

I don't feel
safe in my own house.

I should be able to
call the police and have

the confidence that my
concerns will be addressed.

Ma'am, there isn't enough law

in this whole state
to make you feel safe.

Now, you want to live
out in the middle of a canyon,

you're on your own.

And if you can't handle that,
I hear they're putting

up some nice condos
over by the college.

Or you could go back
to The Big Easy.

Hello?

Arthur. It's Sandra.

Sandra,
it's 6:00 in the morning.

You've
got two guys in your yard

trying to get on my property.

Oh. What?

What-- What guys,
what are you talking about?

The hunters.

I wouldn't
let them into the canyon,

so they climbed your fence.

So, what do
you want me to do about
it?

There's guys with guns

walking by your back door
without permission.

Oh, good.
Okay, look, I'll talk to
them

when I see them.
I-- Im sure they're
harmless.

We get hunters
up here all the time.

I've never had an issue.

It's not about the hunting.

These guys keep coming back.

Why do you think that is?

I don't--
I don't know, Sandra.

Why do you care so much?

Go back to sleep.

Smells like a deer,
shit's like a deer,

- it's a fucking deer.
- Shut up.

Up there
for a couple hours,

she'll walk
right past us.

The fuck are you doing here?

Are you following me around?

You trying to make
some kind of point?

Is that your mother?

Yes.
Yeah, what of it?

My mother was an organist.

In our church
back in New Orleans.

She used to play this.

She did?

"Beautiful Savior."

Please, be seated.

God is good.

All the time.

God is good.

Brothers and sisters,

let us open to Matthew,
Chapter six, verse 25.

"Therefore, I tell you,
do not worry about your life,

what you will eat or drink
or about your body.

What you will wear.

Is not life more than food

and the body
more than clothes?"

You believe in this stuff?

I did, once.
Yeah.

Come here for her.
Make her happy.

Yeah.
I know all about that.

She put up
with a lot of shit in her life.

She got used to being unhappy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

My mother had that.

She never forgave me
for bringing her up here.

She hated the cold.

Everyone hates the cold.

I wish she could hear you
say that.

My mother was never content.

She'd hold onto stuff
that happened 20 years ago,

like it happened yesterday.

Everything was a battle.

I wonder sometimes.

Why do you choose
to be the person you are?

Like, you're just
Whatever happened before you.

Maybe it takes some kind of
sacrifice to break the cycle.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Let us rise and--

I don't know why you came here
but you need to leave now.

There is a place
of quiet rest

Near to the heart of God

A place
where sin cannot molest

Near to the heart of God

O Jesus,
blest Redeemer

Sent from the heart of God

Hold us,
who wait before Thee

Near to the heart of God

Why are you doing this?

This doesn't help you.
Doesn't get you anything.

What do you want?

Are you hearing me?

Why don't you come inside?

What?

Just come inside.

We can work it out.

I know what you want.

Come on.

What's the matter?
Come on.

Huh?
What's the matter?

Come on.
Eh, where ya going!

? Oh, I'll be home
for Christmas ?

? You can plan on me ?

Surprise.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Please have snow
and mistletoe

And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve
will find me

Where the love light
gleams

I'll be home for Christmas

If only

? In my dreams ?

You look like
you could use one of these.

- Good to see you.
- I love your dress.

Sandra, tell me, honestly,
is it-- is it too much?

No. Hell no.
You look amazing.

Cheers.

? Home for Christmas ?

Are you enjoying the party?

Honestly, it's so nice of
him to let me join for a bit.

His house is so nice, right?

He told me
he designed it himself.

Yeah, I'll bet he did.

Oh...

What? What? What?

That guy over there was
checking you out pretty hard.

Santa baby

Oh, my God. No.

It--
I know him.

It doesn't matter.
It's nothing.

Oh, okay.

Well, I have a mountain
of exam papers to grade

-so you have a good night.
-No, it's not like that.

Merry Christmas.

? Santa baby ?

Clean up nice.

So, what are you--
What are you doing here?

Oh. Me and Susan
go back a ways.

High school.

You can imagine.

Think of all

Look,
I'm glad I ran into you.

Um, I blew my top
the other day.

I owe you an apology.

I shouldn't talk to you
like that.

Well, we
didn't get chainsaw-ed.

That's a good day.

Yeah.

What kind of work did you do
back in New Orleans?

You looked me up.

Huh.
Well, I had a hunch.

The way you handled yourself
back at that farm,

and cigarette butts and Ziploc.

Excellent work, detective.

Oh, no.

I'm just a humble
sheriff's deputy.

What was it like
being a big city cop?

Same as being a cop here,

except with backup
and basic technology.

Very funny.

No,
it is what you think it is.

Big cities
have big city problems.

I really do

I couldn't do it.

Believe in you

It's not a walk in the park
here, either

but at least you know
the sheep from the wolves.

Santa baby,
forgot to tell you

Is that why you became a cop?

One little thing,
a ring

Well...

I don't mean
on the phone

I guess it was my high school
football coach, actually.

Uh, he'd been a cop

and looked up to him.

So I guess I just figured
I'd do what he did.

Well?
What about you?

I wanted to serve my community.

Oh.

Pretty good reason.

I remember
when we first came here.

And I felt like
we'd gone back in time.

You look at those mountains

and you can see all the way
back to the beginning,

before there were any people
at all.

Just bears.

I remember
standing in that field.

Crying.

Because it was so... unspoiled.

I'd never felt anything
like that.

And I know
when the snow melts,

I'll get to feel that way
again.

No, yeah, it's, uh,

it's pretty majestic.

It seems we stood and
talked
like this before

You got quite a way with words.

I teach public speaking.

Ah.

But I can't remember

So what brought you
up here anyway?

Where or when

Tenure track.

No, I mean.

The clothes you're wearing

I don't know
a lot of beat cops

that teach college classes.

The smile
that you are smiling

You're asking why
I quit the force?

I'm curious.

I can't remember
where or when

Well, asking and wanting
to know are not the same thing.

Try me.

Clothes you're wearing
are the clothes you wore

I was born and raised
in New Orleans.

New Orleans was my home.

Now I live out here.

But I can't remember
where

All my life, I wanted
to be a police officer.

Or when

And now there is
no way I would ever

put on that
motherfucking badge again.

? Things that happened ?

Why do you think that is?

? For the first time ?

Seem to be
happening again

You had to draw
your weapon.

Again

You had to shoot somebody.

That's the worst thing
you can think of?

It seems we stood
and talked like this

They let us drown.
They let my people drown.

And they didn't
give a goddamn about it.

And you know what?

It should have been
no surprise.

That's just the way it goes.

My mother
thought God would save us.

Tried to get her out before.

She wouldn't hear it.

She thought that God would
save us from the hurricane.

And I couldn't change her mind.

So I left her
because I had a job to do.

And then I had to go dig her
out of the fucking Superdome.

And she never
came back from that.

That's not something
you come back from.

For the first time

We failed.

Seem to be happening

I couldn't protect her.

Again

That's why I quit.

And so it seems
that we've met

I'm sorry,
I didn't know.

And laughed before

And loved before

But who knows

Where

Or when

Mmph.

Oh hey, Gretchen.
You okay? Come in, come in.

So, um...

- I wanted to ask you something.
- Mm-hm.

You know how
you mentioned the T.A. thing?

Well, um... I'd like to take
you up on that.

I mean,
if it's still available.

Yeah, of course.

As long
as it's alright with Arthur.

Oh, I'm sure he has plenty
of other people.

Did something change?

If I tell you, you have to
promise you won't say anything.

Tell me what?

Last night
after the party, he--

...uh...

He came into the study.

I was grading papers.

He said he'd pulled
a muscle carrying firewood.

He was sore
and he couldn't sleep.

He had some lotion and he
wanted me to put it on for him,

so-- so I did.

Did he touch you?

I put the lotion
on the shoulders for him

and that was it.

Gretchen,
you do not have to accept this.

I mean, I agreed to do it.

It wasn't a big deal.

We don't have to talk about
this anymore, I just, uh...

I'd just rather T.A.
for you now.

Yeah.

Uh,
all those in favor?

Okay. Opposed?

Professor Guidry, again.

Well, folks.

Looks like
we have our top three.

Congratulations.
Well done.

I don't mean to be difficult

but we all agreed it was
important for the future

of our department
to try to be more inclusive.

Uh,
I think we did try.

And now that
we have our list,

it's important that
we all rally behind it.

I've seen the Dean use the
budget to stall appointments

if he senses discord.

And we have three
fine candidates here

who could really grow
with our department.

So, let's...

let's not blow
this opportunity.

And on that note,
Merry Christmas, everyone.

God bless.

And, um,
hey, see you all next year.

Yeah.
Well, once we--

Once--
I think it's up to the...

Excuse me for one second.

I thought we said that
we would try to recommend

at least one person
of color to the dean.

On the contrary,
we explicitly said

that this was not
about filling a quota.

That's not what I'm saying.

You literally
just said that--

No, no,
you're not listening to me.

No, I'm pretty sure you
understand the concept of--

I said that
we should try to recommend.

Not hire, recommend.

That's all.

One name on a list of three,
and we can't do that?

So, a quota.

We had options, Arthur.

And we agreed
it was important.

-You said that. Right?
-Yes.

I don't know where you're
going with this, Sandra.

I'm trying to remind you--

I'm 100% confident
that we considered everyone--

I'm trying to express
what we agreed--

Sandra,
this is not about you.

Oh, I know
this is not about me.

This is about hiring the best
person for the job. Period.

But if everyone
on the list is white,

-then how are we supposed to--
-Sandra. It's over.

The process was fair!

Now it's over
and we are moving on.

I will not allow the dean to
cut this department to ribbons

because we got distracted
by identity politics.

-Identity politics?
-Yeah. Not on my watch.

And quite frankly, I take great
offense that you're reading

-some kind of bias into this.
-This is how it happens.

Right here is
how it all breaks down--

You know what,
spare me--

It's this whole big song
and dance about the process--

And now you're mad that you
didn't get what you wanted.

We say we care
about right and wrong--

-How dare you?
-But in the end, it's really

just about winning,
isn't it?

You're here.
We hired you, didn't we?

Huh?

How's your back, Arthur?
I hear you pulled a muscle.

Think you need to take

some time to yourself,
maybe take the next term off!

Go see a shrink!

She's having
a hard time, you know?

She just-- she lost
her mom recently, so...

Gretchen.

Come on.
We're going to the Dean.

We have to go right now.

What?
What are you talking...

We cannot let them get away
with this. Not anymore.

We have to fight back
every time.

All the time or this
is going to go on forever.

Did you say something?

What did you say?

I didn't say your name.

I thought you understood
how hard I worked to get here.

Gretchen. I--
Believe me, I do.

But you have a right
to be angry.

And you shouldn't punish
yourself

for something
that's not your fault.

Is that
what you think I'm doing?

Ladies,
everything all right?

I'm so... Sorry.

I need to apologize
for my behavior.

What I said was completely
out of line.

And you're right.

I should probably
take some time off.

Hey, fellas!
How'd you do?

Look at this man,
you fuckin' tell me!

Jesus fucking Christ.

What do you think
you're doing?

Sandra?

Unbelievable.
This is my property.

Sandra, come on.

Sandra.

Jesus.

Hey! Sandra!

Yeah,you feel big now?

You massacre at tiny baby deer
and you're such a big man.

Just mind
your own goddamn business.

Yeah, I'd kinda like to do
the mama, too.

'Kay, you know what, Sandra?
I really need you

-to walk away right now--
-Oh, shut the fuck up!

Yeah,
shut the fuck up, huh?

I'm tired.
I'm so tired of you.

You know, she came
to my house the other day, too.

Did I tell you that?

Come back anytime, baby.

You come back here again,
I'll fucking kill you.

I swear to God,
I'll fucking kill you.

Holy shit, are you okay, man?

Ah. Fuck.

I'm sorry.

I've been wasting
my time, standing in line

If this is what
it's all about

All I've got is a job
that I don't like

And a woman
that don't understand

So tonight in the bar,
I'll get in my car

And take off
for the Promised Land

Drinkin' and dreamin',
knowing damn well I can't go

I'll never
see Texas, L.A.

Or ol' Mexico

But here at this table

I'm able
to leave it behind

Drink till I'm dreaming

A thousand miles
out of my mind

Are you fucking kidding me?

Yeah.

This suit and this tie
is just a disguise

This ain't really me

Some people were born
to be tied down

Some people
were born to be free

When I look down the road
she don't know

I'm able
to leave it behind

Drink till I'm dreaming
1,000 miles out of my mind

Drinkin' and dreamin',
knowing damn well

I can't go

Drink till I'm dreaming
1,000 miles out of my mind

Drinkin' and dreaming
knowing damn well I can't go

We're here.

We're here!

We're here!

When this life is over,
I'll fly away

I'll fly away

I'll fly away

I'll fly away

When I die,
Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away

When the shadows
of this life have gone

I'll

Hey,
I'm gonna have a smoke.

No, what are you doing?
What are you doing?

Oh-- No, no, no, no!

Ah!
