All language subtitles for The Pretender S01E09 Mirage

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHO I AM.

I CAN STAND ANYTHING FOR THAT.

I'LL NEVER GIVE
UP, SYDNEY, EVER.

IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS, JAROD, WITH
TEMPERATURE OVER 100 DEGREES.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ON, JAROD.

I CAN DO IT.

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHO I AM.

I CAN STAND ANYTHING FOR THAT.

WHERE DID THEY FIND THIS?

CLEANUP CREW FOUND IT IN A CABIN
ABOUT 50 MILES SOUTH OF ALBUQUERQUE.

A GIFT FROM JAROD. HMM.

SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE ORIGINAL
INTENT OF THE SIMULATION WAS.

I'LL HAVE TO RUN IT
THROUGH THE ARCHIVES.

SAVE YOUR SWEAT. IT'S
JUST ANOTHER DIVERSION.

I BEG TO DIFFER, MISS PARKER.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO JAROD.

HE'S REACHING OUT,
TAKING A LEAP OF FAITH.

ALL RIGHT. NOW, REMEMBER
WHAT YOU LEARNED IN CLASS.

I THINK I'M GONNA THROW UP! OH,
NO, NO. YOU'RE GONNA BE JUST FINE!

WELL, YOU'RE THE
EXPERT. SORT OF.

SORT OF? EXACTLY HOW
MANY TIMES HAVE YOU JUMPED?

COUNTING THIS? YES!

ONE.

TOUGH JUMP?

I MAY HAVE
UNDERESTIMATED MY PAYLOAD.

WELL, THEY COME IN ALL SHAPES
AND SIZES. RUB SOME OF THIS ON IT.

WHAT IS IT? HORSE LINIMENT.

THEY USE IT ON THOROUGHBREDS
WHEN THEY PULL A MUSCLE.

A FEW MORE OF THEM
EL PASO HOUSEWIVES,

YOU'LL BE DRINKIN' THE STUFF.

ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER.

NICE TO SEE THAT YOU CAN
CARRY YOUR WEIGHT AROUND HERE.

THE INSTRUCTOR JOB IS
YOURS IF YOU STILL WANT IT.

GREAT! IT'S A PLEASURE
TO BE HERE. GOOD.

CROCKETT. DID I GET
A CALL FROM TASCO?

PHONE HASN'T RUNG ALL DAY.

HOW'S THE OLD GIRL HOLDING UP?

I WAS ABLE TO PATCH THE
LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP,

BUT SHE'S DEFINITELY
ON DEATH'S DOOR.

JUST HOLD HER TOGETHER
FOR A FEW MORE DAYS...

AND I'LL HAVE THAT NEW
PLANE FLOWN IN FROM PHOENIX.

YOUR RÉSUMÉ IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

82nd AIRBORNE, ARMY RANGER.

LOFTY CREDENTIALS FOR SOMEONE LOOKING
TO TEACH THE PUBLIC TO TUCK AND ROLL.

WHY US? WELL, I'M ON THE RUN
FROM A SECRET ORGANIZATION.

I NEEDED A PLACE TO
HIDE OUT FOR A WHILE.

WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS
SIMULATION A DOZEN

TIMES. I'M NOT SURE I
UNDERSTAND THE POINT.

SYDNEY DIDN'T ALWAYS
HAVE METHOD, JUST MADNESS.

IT WAS A PSYCHOLOGICAL
STUDY TO DETERMINE...

IF THE MIND CAN ENABLE THE BODY
TO EXCEED ITS NATURAL CAPABILITIES...

WHEN AN EMOTIONAL
STIMULUS IS APPLIED.

LIKE WHEN... WHEN A
CAR'S ON TOP OF A CHILD,

AND THE MOTHER LIFTS
IT OFF WITH ONE HAND.

EXACTLY.

MISS PARKER, THIS
BIRTHDAY GIFT JUST ARRIVED.

IS TODAY YOUR BIRTHDAY?
HOW OLD ARE YOU?

OH. YOUNG, I'M SURE.

JAROD.

KNOW THIS MAN?

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM
BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

INTERESTING.

IT'S A DEAD FLOWER, SYDNEY,
NOT THE SHROUD OF TURIN.

EXCUSE ME FOR SAYING THIS,

BUT IT DOESN'T EXACTLY
LOOK LIKE BUSINESS IS BOOMING.

WE'VE HAD SOME PROBLEMS,
BUT THEY'RE ALL BEHIND US NOW.

PROBLEMS?

I LOST MY PARTNER A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

TOM MILES? I SAW THE PICTURE
OF THE TWO OF YOU IN THE HANGAR.

HE, UH, MADE A JUMP ABOUT
200 MILES OUT INTO THE DESERT.

TOM WAS ALWAYS
TESTING HIMSELF. TESTING?

HE TOOK ONE CANTEEN OF WATER, A
COMPASS, AND A KNIFE, AND HIKED BACK IN.

IT WAS THIS... YEARLY RITUAL.

UH, SOMETHING WENT
WRONG AND... HE DIED.

SO ALL I CAN DO NOW
IS MAKE TOM'S DREAM...

OF TURNING BLUE DESERT INTO THE BEST
SKYDIVING SCHOOL IN TEXAS COME TRUE.

WE'RE GONNA GET A NEW
JUMP PLANE, REDO THE HANGAR.

MAYBE EVEN BUILD A NEW
INDOOR TRAINING FACILITY.

HMM. TOM DESERVES THAT.

IT'S NOT MUCH TO LOOK AT, BUT, UH, THE
A.C. WORKS. THERE'S A PHONE AND VCR.

AND FOR THE MOST PART,
IT KEEPS THE SNAKES OUT.

WELL, I'M SURE IT WILL BE FINE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WAY OUT
HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY?

WELL, I HAD SOME BUSINESS
OVER IN MASON COUNTY, SO...

THOUGHT I MIGHT SEE IF YOU
WANTED TO GET SOME LUNCH.

MEAT LOAF'S ON
SPECIAL AT THE DINER.

UNLESS I'M
INTERRUPTING SOMETHING.

OH, JAROD COCHRAN, THIS IS,
UH, SHERIFF DWIGHT KUNKLE.

- SHERIFF.
- MR. COCHRAN.

JAROD HERE IS OUR LATEST
ADDITION TO THE JUMP SCHOOL.

HUH. WHERE YOU FROM?

OH, HERE AND THERE.
WHICHEVER WAY THE WIND BLOWS.

HOW ABOUT THAT LUNCH?

WELL, I WAS JUST GONNA
SHOW JAROD... OH, NO, NO.

YOU TWO GO AHEAD. I'LL BE JUST
FINE. NICE TO MEET YOU, SHERIFF.

COCHRAN.

YOU'RE LATE.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.

- EXCUSE ME?
- I WAS TOLD A TRAVELER
WOULD COME SEEKING TRUTH.

- TOLD BY WHOM?
- THE SKY FATHERS.

WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A GUT FEELING.
THEY SAID YOU WOULD NEED A GUIDE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

HOW'D HE DO THAT?

WELL?

I RAN HIS PICTURE
THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

IF HE'S ANY KIND OF
CENTRE CONTRACTOR,

THEN HE'S EITHER BEEN DELETED,

OR HE'S OUT OF OUR
CLEARANCE LEVEL.

NOBODY'S OUT OF
MY CLEARANCE LEVEL.

WHAT ABOUT THIS? TORTURE.

TORTURE? JAROD'S PLAYING GAMES.

WHY? BECAUSE HE WANTS
TO GIVE ME AN ANEURYSM.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.
IT'S... JUST WHAT HE DOES.

WHAT ABOUT THE PICTURE?

I BLEW IT UP THREE
WAYS FROM SUNDAY.

SEE, LET ME SHOW YOU.
ALL I GOT IS A STREET SIGN.

BLACK RIDGE LANE. I DON'T KNOW
IF THAT HELPS WITH ANYTHING.

MAYBE THE LOCATION.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT. MAYBE
HE JUST WANTS TO TORTURE YOU.

BROOTS. WHAT?

ZOOM IN ON THAT. WHAT?

THE REFLECTION
ON THE WINDSHIELD.

AGAIN.

AGAIN.

ONE MORE TIME, SHARPER.

MAINE.

I'LL BE DAMNED!

LET ME GET THAT.

ARE YOU OKAY?

I JUST LOST MY GRIP. WHY
DON'T YOU COME SIT DOWN?

I'M A LITTLE DIZZY.

UH, CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING? A
GLASS OF WATER OR SOMETHING?

NO, I JUST NEED TO
CATCH MY BREATH.

- CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
- SURE.

- WHO ARE YOU?
- MY NAME IS JAROD.

ANGELA.

I, UH, NEED TO PUT
THESE THINGS IN THE SHED.

NO, NO. LET ME GET THAT.

- ARE YOU LEARNING TO JUMP?
- UH, NO. ACTUALLY, I JUST
STARTED WORKING HERE.

YOU'RE THE NEW INSTRUCTOR.
YOU SOUND DISAPPOINTED.

I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT CAROL TO
HIRE SOMEONE SO SOON AFTER...

WHAT? BABY'S KICKING.

HE MUST NOT LIKE
THE HEAT. IT'S A BOY?

HIS FATHER MUST BE VERY PROUD.

HIS FATHER'S DEAD.

THE FIRST RULE OF SKYDIVING
IS TO RESPECT YOUR EQUIPMENT.

BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, YOU
DIE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

HAI.

NOW, THE KEY TO A SAFE JUMP IS TO
OPEN YOUR CHUTE AT THE RIGHT ALTITUDE.

AND WE DO THAT BY
PULLING THE SILVER HANDLE.

WE DO NOT PULL
THE ORANGE HANDLE.

YOU READY TO GIVE IT A TRY?

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE OVER
THE TARGET, AND WE JUMP.

THE GROUND IS
RUSHING TOWARDS US.

YOU ARE READY TO
OPEN YOUR CHUTE.

YOU PULL THE SILVER HANDLE!

I GUESS IT LOST SOMETHIN'
IN THE TRANSLATION.

BENJAMIN THOMAS MILLER. SINGLE.

RUNS THE LOCAL
BED-AND-BREAKFAST.

I'M LOOKING FOR DIRT, SYDNEY.

THERE ISN'T ANY. I DON'T THINK
HE'S EVEN HAD A PARKING TICKET.

NOT HIM. WELL, THEN WHY
WOULD JAROD LEAD US HERE?

HE DIDN'T. THE LITTLE RED NOTEBOOK
WAS THE MISS PARKER EDITION.

MEANING?

HE WANTED YOU HERE, ALONE.

WHAT?

LET'S SEE. IT'S 12:00
NOON, WHERE YOU ARE.

I RECOMMEND THE MONTE CRISTO.

YOU CAN'T BEAT A
SANDWICH WITH SYRUP.

IT IS A LITTLE BIT FATTENING.

WHAT THE HEY. YOU COULD
STAND TO PUT ON A FEW POUNDS.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?

OH, YOU NEVER KNOW WHO MIGHT
BE PEEKING OVER YOUR TRANSOM.

UH, UH, UH. SETTING BACK THE BATHROOM
SCALE THREE POUNDS, THAT'S CHEATING.

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
JAROD? SAME THING YOU DO.

ANSWERS.

BY NOW, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT YOU
ARE STAKING OUT THE GREEN RIDGE DINER,

WHERE BEN MILLER IS
FINISHING UP HIS USUAL LUNCH.

DIET COLA, B.L.T., NO MAYO.

I AM IMPRESSED WITH
YOUR EYE FOR DETAIL.

I CAN SEE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
SECURE MY CELL PHONE NUMBER.

MMM. THOSE CENTRE
OPERATORS, THEY WILL TRANSFER

YOU ANYWHERE WITH THE
RIGHT CLEARANCE CODE.

YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THAT.

YEAH, I WOULD. EXCEPT I'M
TOO BUSY CHASING GHOSTS.

WELL, BEN MILLER, HE'S
MORE OF A SKELETON.

- SKELETON?

CHECK YOUR CLOSET LATELY?

GET OUT.

EXCUSE ME? GET OUT.

TRY THE MONTE CRISTO.
I HEAR IT'S EXCELLENT.

READY? HAI!

SAYONARA.

READY? HAI!

SAYONARA!

HEY. WHAT'S THIS FOR?

FOR LUNATICS.

THIS WAS AWESOME.

YOU KNOW, THIS THING WOULD
WORK REALLY WELL IN THE SNOW.

YEAH.

CAROL BATES SAYS YOU
USED TO BE A SKYDIVER.

YOU MISS IT? IT?

THE ADRENALINE RUSH. PUSHING THE
ENVELOPE AND LIVING TO TELL ABOUT IT.

WELL, SOMETIMES THAT ENVELOPE'S
A LITTLE THINNER THAN IT LOOKS.

YOU TALKING ABOUT TOM MILES?

I TOOK HIM UP THAT DAY.

YOU KNOW, THE SAD PART IS,
THAT WAS GONNA BE HIS LAST JUMP.

ISN'T IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO RUN
A JUMP SCHOOL IF YOU DON'T JUMP?

HEY. THIS SCHOOL HAS JUST
BARELY EKED BY FOR YEARS.

TOM DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT.
HE WAS JUST A PLAIN OLD SIMPLE GUY.

ALL HE REALLY CARED ABOUT
WAS HIS WIFE AND THAT BABY COMIN'.

HE LOVED THIS PLACE.

HE JUST WANTED TO HAVE A
CHANCE TO SHARE IT WITH HIS SON...

BEFORE SOMEBODY COME
ALONG AND SPOILED IT.

EXPECT HE PUSHED THAT
ENVELOPE ONE TOO MANY TIMES.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
TOM WAS A SURVIVAL EXPERT.

HE SUCCESSFULLY MADE
THAT JUMP AND TREK INTO

THE DESERT A DOZEN
TIMES BEFORE HE DIED.

JUST 'CAUSE YOU CAN DO
SOMETHING, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD.

BUT, HEY, IT'S THE DESERT. STRANGE
THINGS CAN HAPPEN OUT THERE.

SO MANY LIES, SO LITTLE TIME.

YOU NEED SOME SODA.

- WHO ARE YOU?
- TWO FEATHERS, SON OF
WAR EAGLE. EVER HEARD OF ME?

NO.

THAT'S 'CAUSE EVERYBODY
CALLS ME ERNIE.

I'M GUESSING IT'S A PEACH.

HOW.

WHAT IS IT YOU WANT?

I TOLD YOU I WAS SENT
TO BE YOUR GUIDE. YES.

THE SKY FATHERS WHO
SPEAK TO YOU FROM YOUR GUT.

BINGO.

WHERE ARE YOU GUIDING
ME TO? THE TRUTH.

I KNOW IT'S OVERWHELMING, BUT I'M AN
INDIAN, SO WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

MEET ME TONIGHT.

WE CAN TALK LATER. WAIT.

- HOW WILL I FIND YOU?
- FOLLOW THE PATH
OF THE IRON HORSE.

- THE WHAT?
- THE TRAIN TRACKS. DIDN'T YOU
EVER SEE A JOHN WAYNE MOVIE?

AND BRING SOME OF THAT
LEFTOVER MEAT LOAF WITH YOU.

WHAT MEAT LOAF?

HUH.

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DEALING WITH,

BUT I'M GETTING PRETTY
TIRED OF YOUR MAGIC TR...

I HAVE TO ADMIT. I'VE
HAD WARMER WELCOMES.

DID YOU SEE AN OLD MAN?

HUH.

NEVER MIND.

I, UM, WANTED TO APOLOGIZE
FOR THE WAY I ACTED YESTERDAY.

- OH, IT'S OKAY.
- NO, YOU'RE NEW HERE. THERE'S
NO WAY YOU COULD'VE KNOWN.

AND... I'D LIKE TO
MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

HOW ABOUT A HOME-COOKED DINNER
TONIGHT? THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

GREAT. HOPE YOU LIKE MEAT LOAF.

BE RIGHT WITH YOU.

NOW, WHAT CAN I DO FOR...

I WAS HOPING YOU'D COME.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU LOOK JUST LIKE HER.

LIKE WHO?

YOUR MOTHER.

THANK YOU.

I'M SURE THIS WON'T TAKE LONG.

SHERIFF, I WAS WONDERING
IF I MIGHT HAVE A MINUTE.

MR. COCHRAN, I'M DUE IN DALLAS IN ABOUT
THREE HOURS. MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.

OH, OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO ASK
YOU A QUESTION ABOUT TOM MILES.

BUT WE'LL DO IT ANOTHER
TIME. WHAT ABOUT TOM?

WELL, I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU FOUND HIS BODY.

THAT'S RIGHT. MUST HAVE
BEEN A PRETTY GRUESOME SIGHT.

BODY OUT THERE IN THE
DESERT FOR, WHAT, THREE DAYS?

FOUR. FOUR, UGH.

SEE, WHAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND IS...

WHY WOULD A SURVIVAL EXPERT LIKE TOM
MILES ALLOW HIMSELF TO DIE OF DEHYDRATION?

WHAT ARE YOU SO
INTERESTED IN A DEAD MAN FOR?

WELL, I MET HIS WIDOW.
SEEMED LIKE A VERY NICE LADY.

NEVER MIND. HAVE
A VERY NICE DAY.

OH, SHERIFF, ONE
OTHER QUICK QUESTION.

WAS THERE AN AUTOPSY
DONE ON THE BODY?

OF COURSE. JUST BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE
BACKWATERS DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE BACKWOODS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SHE ATE THE WHOLE MEAT LOAF?

WELL, THEN IT IS NO WONDER
SHE CAN'T FIND PANTY HOSE...

TO FIT THOSE THICK
THIGHS OF HERS THEN, HUH?

YEAH.

OH. I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON.

BUDDY SLOCUM JR.

I REPRESENT THE SOUTHWEST REGIONAL
OFFICE OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.

I.R.S.?

I NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH
A SHERIFF DWIGHT KNUCKLE.

KUNKLE. THE SHERIFF'S
NAME IS KUNKLE.

SHERIFF KNUCK... KUNKLE IS
IN DALLAS FOR THE AFTERNOON.

WELL, THAT COULD POSE A DILEMMA.

BUDDY. MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU.

YES. AS A MATTER OF
FACT, MAYBE YOU CAN.

DO YOU HAVE SOME INFORMATION
ON A MR. THOMAS MILES?

WELL, HE'S DEAD.

NOT AS FAR AS THE
I.R.S. IS CONCERNED.

WELL, THANKS AGAIN, MA'AM.

TOM WAS GONNA FINISH THE
BABY'S ROOM WHEN HE GOT BACK.

HE MUST HAVE BEEN VERY
EXCITED ABOUT BECOMING A FATHER.

IT WAS HIS WHOLE WORLD.

BEFORE TOM WENT
OFF ON THE LAST JUMP,

HE TOLD ME HOW IMPORTANT IT
WAS FOR HIM TO BE A GOOD FATHER,

TO TEACH OUR SON ABOUT LIFE.

HE USED TO SAY THAT LIFE
WAS MEANT TO BE LIVED,

AND DEATH WASN'T
SOMETHING TO BE AFRAID OF.

IS THAT WHY HE MADE THOSE
JUMPS INTO THE DESERT?

CAROL'S RIGHT. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
HIS SON KNOW WHO HIS FATHER WAS.

- THE THINGS HE CARED ABOUT.
- CAROL SAID THAT.

SHE SAID THAT IF THE SCHOOL CLOSED,
THEN TOM'S DEATH WOULD BE MEANINGLESS.

- THANK GOD
FOR TOM'S INSURANCE MONEY.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WE'RE GONNA USE IT TO REBUILD THE
JUMP SCHOOL. HASN'T BEEN EASY FOR HER.

BECAUSE OF THE BUSINESS?

BECAUSE OF THE
HISTORY BETWEEN THEM.

- THE HISTORY?
- CAROL AND TOM WERE TOGETHER
LONG BEFORE WE MET.

THEY GREW APART, FELL OUT.

HE USED TO SAY SHE WAS UNHAPPY,
BUT HE NEVER SPOKE BAD ABOUT HER.

I THINK IT'S NICE THAT SHE
WANTS TO KEEP HIS DREAM ALIVE.

JUST TELL ME
YOU'VE GIVEN UP. NO.

ADMIT IT TO YOURSELF
AND I'LL MAKE THIS STOP!

NOT FOR ME.

I'LL NEVER GIVE UP.

NEVER GIVE UP.

MR. TWO FEATHERS?

UH, MR. TWO FEATHERS?

ERNIE?

OH!

WOULD YOU PLEASE
STOP DOING THAT?

I SEE YOU REMEMBERED. THANK YOU.

YOUR MEAT LOAF.
YOU LEFT YOUR HAT.

THANK YOU. SIT DOWN.

IS THIS WHERE YOU LIVE?

YOU EXPECTED A TEEPEE?

IT'S 43 FEET OF GOOD
LIVING, SATELLITE TV.

I EVEN GET DIRTY MOVIES.

- COMPLIMENTS OF UNCLE SAM.
- UNCLE WHO?

THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT A CERTAIN
PIECE OF TRIBAL LAND AND WHO OWNED IT.

AND THIS WAS YOUR SETTLEMENT? I
WOULD'VE SETTLED FOR A NEW HAT.

WHITE PEOPLE. I DON'T KNOW
HOW WE LOST THE COUNTRY.

YOU TOLD ME BEFORE THAT YOU
WERE GOING TO GUIDE ME TO THE TRUTH.

OH, THAT.

MY FAMILY'S LIVED UNDER THIS
SKY FOR OVER SEVEN GENERATIONS.

I'VE SEEN MANY
THINGS IN THE DESERT.

THINGS?

I FOUND THE BODY OF THE
MAN WHO WALKS ON CLOUDS.

I THOUGHT SHERIFF KUNKLE
FOUND TOM MILES'S BODY.

IT WOULDN'T BE SMART FOR
AN INDIAN TO RIDE INTO TOWN...

WITH A WHITE WAR HERO STRAPPED
ACROSS THE GRILLE OF HIS MOTOR HOME.

WHY WOULD A SURVIVAL EXPERT
LIKE TOM MILES DIE OF DEHYDRATION...

WHEN ALL THOSE YUCCA
PLANTS WERE AROUND HIM?

WHEN I SAW HIS FACE, I
KNEW WHAT HAPPENED.

ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT,

THE WOUNDS ON HIS FACE
WERE INFLICTED BY AN ANIMAL.

IT WAS NO ANIMAL.
IT WAS HIS MADNESS.

I'VE SEEN IT ONLY ONE
TIME BEFORE IN MY LIFE...

DURING THE VISION QUEST.

VISION QUEST?

A YOUNG MAN OF AGE DRINKS FROM
THE ROOT OF THE BELLADONNA PLANT...

IN THE HOPES OF GOING
TO THE WORLD BEYOND.

IF THE MIXTURE IS WRONG, HE
COULD LOSE HIMSELF, GO MAD.

BELLADONNA.

WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THIS PLANT?

ANYONE WHO'S LIVED THEIR
LIFE IN THE DESERT WOULD KNOW.

I SEE YOUR GUT TALKS TO YOU TOO.

HMM. THIS IS PRETTY GOOD.

JAROD WORKED THE
PLACE ABOUT A MONTH.

HE WAS QUITE THE FIX-IT MAN.

HE'S A GENIUS. I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT THAT.

BUT HE COULD FIX A
TRACTOR, TALK YOUR EAR OFF.

THAT FELLA WAS ALWAYS
ASKIN' QUESTIONS.

I DIDN'T COME HERE
TO TALK ABOUT JAROD.

WELL, THAT'S FUNNY. ALL HE
WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS YOU.

ME? HE SAID YOU TWO
HAD GROWN UP TOGETHER.

SEEMED DISAPPOINTED
WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH.

GUESS YOUR MOTHER NEVER
TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS PLACE.

NO. SHE DIDN'T.

SHE CAME HERE EXACTLY
THIS TIME EVERY YEAR.

SHE LOVED THE SPRING.

SHE SAID SHE LIKED
WHAT IT DID TO THE WORLD.

AUNT DOROTHY.

EXCUSE ME?

SHE USED TO TELL ME SHE
WAS VISITING HER SISTER.

AH. I'M SURE SHE
HAD HER REASONS.

WHEN YOUR MOTHER DIDN'T
SHOW UP, I GOT WORRIED.

I NEVER KNEW EXACTLY HOW...

I WAS PRETTY YOUNG.

BUT I DO REMEMBER THAT
HER DEATH WAS, UH, SUDDEN.

IS THERE ANYTHING OF HERS...

IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME IF I
COULD SEE WHERE SHE STAYED.

LOOK HERE, CAROL, IT'S
JUST NOT WORKIN' OUT!

I HAVE TO MOVE ON.

ONCE WE GET THE NEW PLANE FROM PHOENIX,
WE'RE FINE. YOU KNOW I CAN'T GO BACK THERE!

TASCO SPORT ADVENTURE.

I'M TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A
VACATION. YOU COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

YES, SIR. AT TASCO SPORT ADVENTURE,
YOU GET THE VACATION OF A LIFETIME.

BUNGEE JUMPING AND THEN GOLF,

HELICOPTER SNOW SKIING IN THE ANDES,
OR SHARK HUNTING OFF THE BARRIER REEF.

ACTUALLY, I HAD
SKYDIVING IN MIND.

YOU'RE IN LUCK! IN TWO MONTHS, WE'RE
OPENING A SKYDIVING SCHOOL NEAR EL PASO.

WELL, THAT SOUNDS
INTERESTING. VERY INTERESTING.

- UH, I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
- THANKS FOR CALLING.

OW!

PIECE OF CRAP!

OH, COME ON,
CROCKETT. GOD! OH...

PLANE ONLY HAS TO
LAST A FEW MORE DAYS.

YOU SCARED ME THERE, BUB. WHY?

BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT I WAS CAROL?
SHE SCARES YOU, DOESN'T SHE, CROCKETT?

OR SHOULD I SAY
ANGUS? ANGUS MARIN?

WHO ARE YOU?

SOMEBODY WHO FOUND
OUT YOU'RE A WANTED MAN...

AND IS GOING TO USE
IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.

JUST LIKE CAROL DID. YOU SOUND LIKE YOU
HAVE BEEN DRINKING THAT HORSE LINIMENT.

I KNOW CAROL'S USING ANGELA TO
GET TO TOM MILES'S INSURANCE MONEY.

SO SHE CAN REFURBISH
THIS JUMP SCHOOL...

AND INCREASE THE PRICE THAT TASCO
ADVENTURES IS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT.

I ALSO KNOW YOU ARE GETTING 25% OF
WHATEVER CAROL'S STAKE IS IN THE SALE.

WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHY.

IS IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW
SHE KILLED TOM MILES?

OR BECAUSE YOU HELPED HER?

THIS WAS HER ROOM.

I HAVEN'T TOUCHED
ANYTHING SINCE SHE LEFT.

WHAT?

LOOKING AT YOU STANDING THERE, I
THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE I SAW CATHERINE AGAIN.

YOU CALL IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

SEE, TOM AND CAROL COME OUT HERE AS
YOUNG LOVERS, BOUGHT THIS PLACE TOGETHER.

ONLY IT WAS 60-40, TOM'S FAVOR.

AFTER THEY BROKE UP, HE
MET ANGELA AND GOT MARRIED.

HE WAS HERE FOR LIFE,
AND CAROL KNEW IT.

SHE WANTED TO SELL, BUT HE COULD
NEVER GET THE CASH TOGETHER.

BY THAT TIME, THE PLACE HAD
GOTTEN SO RUN DOWN TILL...

40% OF NOTHING'S STILL NOTHIN'.

AND THAT'S WHEN THE PEOPLE
FROM TASCO CAME AROUND.

WAVIN' LONG GREEN.

BUT TOM DIDN'T WANT
THE PLACE DESTROYED.

SO, WHEN CAROL COULDN'T GET HER
MONEY AND GET OUT, SHE JUST SHUT DOWN.

THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE CAME OUT TO THE HANGAR THE MORNING
OF THE JUMP, SWITCHED TOM'S CANTEEN.

I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT
THE TIME. IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING THEN.

BUT LATER ON, AFTER HE DIED, I GOT
TO THINKIN' ABOUT IT. WHEN I ASKED HER...

SHE THREATENED TO
TURN YOU IN TO THE POLICE.

SHE OFFERED ME A PERCENTAGE,

JUST TO HELP HER GET THE PLACE
TURNED AROUND FOR THE SALE TO TASCO.

WE LOOKED AT EACH
OTHER AND JUST KNEW.

WILLING TO HATE EACH OTHER LONG ENOUGH TO
GET OUR PAYOFFS AND GET ON WITH OUR LIVES.

WELL, UNFORTUNATELY FOR TOM MILES,
HE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ON WITH HIS.

YES. I'D LIKE TO ORDER
A SLAB OF BEEF RIBS.

WELL, THAT'S FANTASTIC.
BUT I'D LIKE THEM RAW.

YES, RAW.

SO, LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT. IF I
ARRIVE IN PHOENIX FIRST, I GET THE PLANE?

WELL, I'LL GET THERE FIRST.

HAVE YOU SEEN CROCKETT? NO.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?

I JUST GOT A CALL FROM PHOENIX. THERE'S
ANOTHER PARTY INTERESTED IN THE PLANE.

THEY'RE GONNA MAKE A DEAL
WITH THE FIRST ONE WHO SHOWS UP!

OH. WELL, SHOULDN'T BE MORE
THAN A SIX OR SEVEN-HOUR DRIVE.

I DON'T HAVE SIX OR SEVEN HOURS.

WELL, I COULD FLY YOU.

YOU'RE A PILOT? MM-HMM.

HOW LONG TILL WE CAN
TAKE OFF? TWENTY MINUTES.

HOW 'BOUT SOME
COFFEE? THANK YOU.

HOW'D YOU SLEEP? WELL.

BETTER THAN THAT, ACTUALLY.

THIS PLACE TENDS
TO DO THAT TO PEOPLE.

SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE
SOME OF HER THINGS WITH YA?

NO. I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED.

BESIDES, THIS IS
WHERE SHE BELONGS.

YOU WERE IN LOVE
WITH HER, WEREN'T YOU?

YOUR MOTHER WAS A
VERY SPECIAL WOMAN.

THERE WAS A PART OF HER I
KNEW BETTER THAN ANYONE.

BUT THERE WAS A PART
OF HER SHE KEPT HIDDEN.

SEPARATE. DID SHE
EVER TALK ABOUT HIM?

NO. SHE LEFT IT ALL BEHIND
WHEN SHE CAME HERE.

BUT... SHE ALWAYS
MISSED HER LITTLE GIRL.

I'LL GET YOU SOME BREAKFAST.

THANK YOU.

WHY ARE WE HEADING
NORTH? WEATHER RADAR.

THERE'S A STORM FRONT
MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST,

SO I FIGURED IT WOULD BE
SAFER IF WE FLEW AROUND IT.

HOW LONG TO PHOENIX?

ABOUT AN HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF.

WHAT'S WRONG?

WE'RE LOSING PRESSURE.

I THINK IT'S THE FUEL PUMP.

THIS TERRAIN IS MUCH
TOO DANGEROUS TO LAND.

IF THE OVERFLOW OF FUEL SHOULD REACH
THE ENGINE, THE WHOLE PLANE COULD EXPLODE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO JUMP.

JUMP? JUMP.

RELAX. WE'RE SKYDIVING
INSTRUCTORS, REMEMBER?

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU
MEAN HE WAS POLITE?

YOU JUST GIVE OUT
CONFIDENTIAL CRIME SCENE FILES...

TO ANYBODY WHO WALKS IN
HERE WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE?

HE SAID HE WAS WITH THE I.R.S.

DAMN IT, AIDA. I'VE TOLD
YOU A MILLION TIMES.

POLICE BUSINESS
IS... ALPHA-TANGO-997.

THIS IS A MAYDAY. I
REPEAT, THIS IS A MAYDAY.

OUR AIRCRAFT IS ON FIRE.

WE'RE GOING TO PARACHUTE APPROXIMATELY
37 MILES DUE NORTH OF FORT HANCOCK.

MAYDAY. MAYDAY.

997... THAT'S CAROL'S PLANE.

YOU CALL THE CIVIL AIR PATROL.
DISPATCH SEARCH AND RESCUE RIGHT NOW.

GOING MY WAY, SHERIFF?

ARE YOU OKAY?

AH, I THINK I BROKE MY LEG.

HEY.

DON'T WORRY.
SOMEBODY'LL FIND US.

I'M NOT SO SURE.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? THERE'S A CHANCE
THAT NOBODY KNOWS WE'RE OUT HERE?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THE
MAYDAY TRANSMISSION MADE IT OUT.

WELL, WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU SUGGEST WE DO?

THERE'S ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN
HOURS LEFT OF SUNLIGHT.

IF YOU TRAVEL LIGHTLY, YOU CAN
MAKE IT TO FORT HANCOCK BY DARK.

- ME? WHAT IF I DON'T MAKE IT?
- YOU'LL MAKE IT.

HEAD DUE SOUTH.

AND HERE'S A FULL
CANTEEN OF WATER.

MAKE SURE YOU
DRINK PLENTY OF IT.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT
TO END UP LIKE TOM.

I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

COUNT ON IT.

CAROL.

- CAROL.
- WHO'S THERE?

CAROL.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?

SAME THING THAT
HAPPENED TO TOM MILES.

- TOM?
- NOW, MAYBE YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW
TOM FELT THOSE LAST MOMENTS.

DYING OUT HERE, ALL ALONE.

TOM. TOM, I'M SORRY.

YOU TOOK HIS CANTEEN, AND
YOU POISONED IT WITH BELLADONNA.

THE HARDER THE SUN
BORE DOWN, THE MORE

DELIRIOUS HE BECAME
WITH EVERY TAINTED DRINK.

AND EVERY MINUTE THAT PASSED WAS
JUST ANOTHER AGONIZING MOMENT...

WHEN HE REALIZED HE WOULD NEVER
SEE HIS BABY THAT HE WANTED SO MUCH.

IT GOT SO BAD THAT HE
WANDERED IN CIRCLES.

HE CLAWED AT HIS OWN BODY TO FIGHT OFF
THE MADNESS THAT YOU CREATED FOR HIM.

THE MADNESS THAT
YOU CREATED FOR HIM.

NO.

IT WAS A SCHOOL AND A FAMILY.

YOU TOOK THAT AWAY!
YOU JUST GAVE IT TO HER!

TILL THERE WAS
NOTHING LEFT FOR ME.

SO YOU LEFT A WIDOW BEHIND
AND A BABY TO BE BORN FATHERLESS.

TOM, I JUST WANTED
WHAT I DESERVED.

SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU'RE
GOING TO GET JUST THAT.

HELLO, JAROD.

WITH INSTINCTS LIKE
THAT, YOU'LL CATCH ME YET.

NOT IF YOU KEEP
THROWING ME OFF THE TRAIL.

OH, I DIDN'T THROW YOU OFF. I
JUST PUT YOU ON A DIFFERENT ONE.

IS THAT ALL YOU DO,
JAROD? DIG UP THE PAST?

THAT'S EASY FOR YOU
TO SAY. YOU HAVE ONE.

ALTHOUGH, IT'S NOT QUITE
WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS, IS IT?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

OKAY, SWEETIE.
LET'S GO NIGHT-NIGHT.

HO, WHITE MAN.

CAME BY TO SAY
GOOD-BYE, THANK YOU.

WELL, SO LONG, AND
YOU'RE WELCOME.

WHEN WE FIRST MET, YOU TOLD ME YOU
WERE GONNA HELP ME DISCOVER THE TRUTH.

I WAS KIND OF HOPING IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT MYSELF.

ABOUT WHO I AM.

WE EACH TAKE A JOURNEY
