I think we need a little review.

Remember how I tagged everything by the room it's supposed to go in?

Yes, Mom.

So if it's marked K -I -T, it goes into the kitchen.

Good one.

Thank you, Debbie.

And if it's marked one kid B -R, it goes into the... First kid's bedroom.

Thank you, Becky.

Nice work.

So why am I finding boxes in rooms they're not supposed to go in?

Yes, Jonathan.

I can't read.

I don't know where stuff goes.

All right. Well, maybe some of you older ones can help him, okay? We're in this

together. We've moved before.

Yeah. All right.

Let's go.

All right.

You want to grab that box?

It goes in the kitchen.

Right into the kitchen.

Okay. Perfect.

I'm sorry, Mom.

That's okay, Mary.

You are amazing.

I forgot you knew how to whistle like that.

Well, you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country

out of the girl.

Mm -hmm.

So this goes into the basement?

You put that in the basement? I'll put you in the basement.

As you all know, we've been searching for a pastor for quite a while.

We're so excited to have him and his family here as they help grow our

congregation.

Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, I just thank you for Pastor Albert. I thank you for his wife, Amy.

And I thank you for their lovely family.

I pray your blessing upon our congregation as you lead Pastor Albert

in your ways.

through His gifted teaching and His anointed leadership.

Father, we just thank You and praise You in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Church! The Andersons!

My family and I feel extremely blessed to be here.

We felt a calling to come.

We felt led to this beautiful town.

After our first meeting with Chris and the rest of the board, Amy and I went

home and we prayed with our six wonderful children.

The Lord led us to Isaiah 43.

Mom,

can the kids and I go play outside?

Mrs. Reese said it was okay. Of course.

Have fun.

Let's go.

Grab your plates, guys.

Thank you, Mrs. Reese.

It is yellow.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much. You're welcome.

You have such wonderful children.

They seem to truly love and respect each other. Thank you. We're really proud of

them. Well, that comes from good parenting and God's grace.

We're really glad you're here. Are we going to see revival in this town

soon? Well, I certainly hope so.

Always be ready to preach the gospel, in season and out.

We're going to get along just fine, Pastor.

And we really want to see you succeed here. So any support we can give you,

us know.

Thank you. We really appreciate that.

Do you like fishing, Albert?

Are we still talking spiritually?

I mean actual fish.

I don't get to often, but yes, I do. We have a houseboat down at the marina, and

we'd love to have you come join us this Saturday.

If you're available.

That would be great. Absolutely. The kids would love that. Well, then, it's

I'm going to have to find my rod.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

You hear me?

Oh, okay.

Perfect. Yeah, you too.

Thank you all so much for coming out this evening. Amy and I thought that we

would do just a basic marriage seminar to help us all get to know each other

our stories a bit better as well.

Sound good?

Now, Amy would say that our marriage is a love story.

Right, sweetheart?

Right. I always get a little nervous when I ask that question.

Hollywood would lead us to believe that a love story takes place in two hours or

less. Albert leaned over and whispered, I have something for you, Amy.

My heart was fluttering.

And so was mine.

Gentlemen, you'll appreciate this one.

One hot summer afternoon, Amy decided to help out with the yard work.

Albert. It's a funny story. Yeah, to you.

Okay, well, needless to say, Amy got angry with the lawnmower.

Ladies, when it comes to making decisions, being a marriage partner

great responsibility.

Gentlemen, the Seahawks didn't just walk out onto that field and collect those

Super Bowl rings now, did they?

A real marriage takes a lot of effort.

It has to be nurtured, worked, and fought for.

Fade, your wife said you wanted to chat with us.

Yeah, well, I just wanted to tell you my wife and I both really liked your talk.

Nancy mentioned that.

Going to need your help, I can tell you that.

May regret it someday, but really do need your help, that's for sure.

Okay, well, if you want to call the office and set up an appointment, we'll

what we can do.

Will do.

Interesting. The devil's in that one.

Excuse me?

Well, I mean, there's just something not quite right about him.

We need to be careful, Chris.

Maybe he just really needs our help.

Other pastors have tried.

It's led to nothing but trouble.

And I want you to know, he did a good job tonight.

Nice job.

Thank you.

We need to pray for Greg.

Really? Yeah. Chris did that?

Yeah.

Well, I had no idea.

It took him months to live down that time. That is some great ammunition for

next board meeting, though. Thank you.

So how are you enjoying your retirement?

It's different, all right.

Still just as busy, though.

Between the house, new boat, the yard, kids, grandkids.

All the church activities, of course.

Yeah, you know, I've been meaning to say something about that. You know, most

people check out when they retire.

But you two, you're still just as involved. I love that.

Well, God has a reason for us to still be here.

But not just to serve ourselves.

I want to hear, well done.

Not well done until the last mile.

I like that.

I like that a lot, actually. Do you mind if I use that in one of my sermons?

Go right ahead.

Oh, I think I got one. Oh, hang on to him. Hang on to him. Oh, he's pulling on

it. All right.

Here we go. I hope the kids are going to be happy. We're going to have dinner

tonight.

Thank you so much for having us here.

It's a perfect day.

Isn't it? I can't think of a better way to get to know our new friend.

So tell me more about growing up as a pastor's daughter.

Maybe I'll learn some things I can help my own kids with. Oh, honey, your kids

are great.

They're a joy and a blessing to us, believe me. Thank you.

But seriously, anything?

Well, times are different now.

There'll always be someone who has an opinion about you and your family,

constantly under a microscope.

Everyone will be looking to you, to your kids, to see how their kids should

behave.

Either way, listen to the Lord.

God be your strength and grace.

I've never had anyone I could confide in that might understand what it's like.

Well, you're welcome.

I'll be praying for you.

Fervently, I hope. Is there any other way?

I don't think so.

Mom! Dad's back!

You got it?

Look, Dad caught...

Hey, look at this.

Hey.

Oh, Dad, that's a big one. It is. Yeah, you want to touch it?

Slimy, isn't it? Yeah, how about you, Mark? You want to touch it?

Yeah. Whoa, look at you.

Dad, can we catch another one and keep it as a pet?

Bless your heart.

Hey, that looks pretty good.

Thanks.

You know, if this whole pastoring thing doesn't work out, you might want to

consider becoming a butcher.

Thanks. You're welcome.

Today was a good day. It was.

They're a real godsend.

Mm -hmm.

You don't think so?

Of course I do. I think they're great.

But?

It's just, we need to be careful.

I know you think the world of Francine, and I feel the same way about Luke.

But people can get jealous if they get the idea that the pastor and his wife

think more highly of someone else.

But that's not... I know.

We didn't run into anything like this at Mountain View.

But I think that there are definitely some jealousies to contend with here.

All right.

I'll be careful.

Thank you.

Speaking of careful, that couple the other night at the seminar.

The Blakes?

Yeah. What's that all about?

I'm not sure what to make of that yet.

Bade really seems to be searching for something, but I'm wondering if there

might be some mental issues there as well.

Maybe there's something I could do to help.

I love you.

Now that is not fair.

What?

I'm covered in fish guts.

I don't care.

Oh, you don't, huh?

I do, I do care, I do care.

You know, we all come from different seasons in our lives right now.

Some of us are still changing diapers and planning play dates.

While others, Faye, I know you have a child going off to college in the fall.

But it doesn't stop us being concerned for their safety.

I have grown children and I still worry about them.

Our nurturing and caring doesn't turn off like a faucet just because they

the nest.

It's a constant struggle.

That's where I think Hannah had it right.

Placing Samuel and Eli's care in the Lord's house.

If we can do that, then we can truly focus on just loving our kids.

Isn't Hannah amazing?

Helps us to really...

Focus on our children.

Thank you for hosting.

Sure. It was my pleasure.

Oh,

that's a good idea. Would you ladies excuse me?

Thank you.

Amy, are you all right?

I'm fine.

You can talk to me, honey.

What's the matter?

Albert's concerned about our friendship.

Did I do something wrong? No.

No, not at all.

He's just worried that other women in the congregation might get jealous if it

looks like I'm favoring you.

I've seen that happen in churches more often than I'd like to mention.

I was wise to bring it up.

We'll figure this out.

I have to tell you, God brought you into my life to remind me of something I

really needed reminding of.

We'll work it out, Amy.

Thank you.

Thank you for being such a great friend.

God brought you into my life for a reason.

Good morning. Good morning.

Sleep well?

Sweetheart?

You okay?

Yeah, I just... I had a bad dream.

About what?

It was about Francine.

I hope it wasn't because of what I said.

I'm fine.

I'm sure everything's alright.

I'll give her a call today.

Okay.

Well, I am heading to the office.

I've got a couple counseling sessions and then lunch with the board.

I'll pray for you.

Please.

Don't worry.

Call me if anything comes up.

I will.

Take care. Love you. Love you too.

Thank you for calling the Reese's. Leave a message and we'll get back to you as

soon as we can.

Hello? Hi, Flint. This is Amy Anderson.

I'm a friend of your mother's. Ah, you're the pastor's wife at my parents'

church, right?

Yes, that's right.

Flint, I was trying to reach your mother over a meal she offered to provide for

a widow.

Have you heard from her?

Yeah, no.

No, no, I wouldn't worry about it.

No, they got work in their yard. They don't hear the phone.

Cell phone coverage out there is pretty much non -existent.

Country life, right?

Well, if you do hear from her, can you ask her to give me a call?

You bet.

Thanks so much. Bye -bye.

Hi. Did I forget about a meeting?

No, I wanted to go to Luke and Francine's place.

Sweetheart, we can't just show up like that. I'm still having nightmares about

them. No one, including their son, seems to know where they are. I'd really feel

a lot better if we could go check.

Okay. Let's go.

Debbie, we're going.

Knocked on the door, rang the bell, no answer.

I hope they're all right.

I'm sure they're fine.

Just give her a call in the morning, and if you aren't able to reach her, we'll

come back tomorrow evening.

Okay?

Okay. All right.

Oh, hi, Susan.

Hi.

Has Francine been to your place this week?

Oh, hi, Faye. How are you?

Great. It's Amy.

I was wondering if you've heard from Francine today.

You haven't either, huh?

Oh, hi, George. I was just wondering if their boat was still docked.

This might be a bit odd, but I was wondering if the Reese's had come in to

up their shipment this week.

Veronica! Hi!

You know, I was just calling to see if you've heard from Francine.

You haven't?

Yeah, you know, I haven't heard from her in a while. I was starting to get a bit

concerned.

You're right. Well, you take care, and God bless you, and we'll see you on

Sunday.

Great.

Have a good day.

Bye -bye.

Thanks for doing this with me again.

I don't think I could do it alone.

I wouldn't want you to.

In all honesty, I'm starting to get a little concerned myself.

So I scheduled a pastoral meeting in the same area tonight.

At the rentals?

Mm -hmm.

Thank you.

Of course.

I was hoping we'd find them working in the yard.

I'll go check.

Wait.

Something doesn't feel right.

Can we pray?

Of course.

Heavenly Father, you're our protector, you are our rock, our comforter.

We'd like to lift Luke and Francine up to you right now, Lord, that wherever

they are, whether they're at home or elsewhere, that they are in the palm of

your hand, Lord. and that you are keeping them safe and protected.

Thank you, Lord.

Red scene?

Well?

And the door was open a crack, but still.

When I knocked on the door last night, it was shut.

Are you sure? Positive.

I think we should call the police.

No, hold on.

Let's try Flint first, see if he knows what's going on.

All right, let's get to the Rentons, and we'll call them from there.

Pastor Anderson, welcome.

Thank you, Mrs. Rentons. Can we use your phone?

Of course.

It's in the kitchen. Thank you.

I thought you were here for the meeting.

Flint, this is Amy Anderson calling.

I was wondering if you found out where your parents are.

No, I've been checking around.

Well, have you been to their place or just phoned them?

Yeah, I just phoned. I really didn't think I needed to go out there.

Flint, my husband and I went to their home earlier this evening.

Albert found the door open a crack, and he called inside, but there was no

answer. No, that's not right, though. I haven't done that. Okay, we'll meet you

there.

Is everything okay?

We're not sure.

I'm sorry, do you mind if we reschedule?

Certainly. Hope it's nothing serious.

Yeah, so do we.

Thank you.

They're both here.

The police are on their way.

Police? You didn't call them?

No, I... We need to call the sheriff right away. Where's the phone?

It's right here.

Can't get a dial tone.

Tap it a few times.

Anything? Yeah.

Hello? Do you have an emergency?

Hello, yeah. Could you please come to the Reese residence on Maple Drive

immediately? Sir, are you injured?

No, it's my parents.

They've both been murdered.

The sheriff's department is on their way. Do not disturb anything and move to

safe distance.

They'll be there shortly.

Please hurry.

They said that we should wait outside and not touch anything.

Why don't you go wait in the car?

Will you come with me?

I don't want to be alone.

You'll be safe.

Just lock the door.

I'll be right here.

Please.

Where is he going?

I don't know.

He just looks like he's out for Neptune's drawl.

We all grieve in different ways, sweetheart.

This is so evil.

When did you guys get here?

We arrived shortly after Flint, the recess.

You've been inside?

Yeah.

All right.

Go to the end of the driveway, okay?

Wait there.

I'm going to need to talk to you.

Absolutely.

The sheriff asked you a question.

Sorry, Sheriff.

Can we just go home?

Not yet.

Did they invite many people in?

Yeah, yeah, a few here and there, but they didn't entertain much.

Did they keep cash stashed around the house?

No.

Oh, God, why is this happening?

I really don't feel well.

I think I'm done with you, Mrs. Anderson and Flint.

Could you drive him home?

Of course.

Thank you.

Honey, can you drive me home first?

I really need to check on the kids.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

I just don't get it.

Nothing about these murders makes any sense.

I just keep running it over again and again.

Shirts untucked.

Top few buttons undone on his shirt.

It's like something caught his attention before he could get fully dressed.

You know, that could just be the way he dressed around the house.

Reese was an impeccable dresser.

We took pride in it.

There's no marks around the windows or the doors.

So no one was breaking in and caught him by surprise.

They either knew the killer or let a stranger in willingly.

Like somebody turned on them.

Maybe.

By all accounts, Mrs. Reese was an immaculate housekeeper. I mean, there's

nothing out of place.

Everything neat and clean and in order.

No signs of struggle.

I just don't get it.

Do these things ever make sense?

Poor thing. tied up with a pair of her own pantyhose.

He could consider it a murder -suicide.

I mean, they weren't getting along, hated retirement, he offsured,

kills himself.

Suicide?

Doesn't fit, though.

Why would he untie her after he shoots her and then kill himself?

No one shoots themselves, cleans up their own blood before they breathe

last. I don't care how OCD they might be.

And where's the gun?

The .22.

He's with you.

Yeah.

Mom?

What's wrong?

Where's Dad?

Your father's fine. He had to drive Larissa's son home.

Why?

What happened?

Something terrible, sweetheart.

Come here. I'll tell you both.

Tonight, you're... Father and I found Mr.

and Mrs. Reese dead in their home.

Somebody shot them.

What?

Who would do that?

We don't know.

But they loved us just like... They loved us like you and Dad love us. I

They were so good to us.

Can we pray for Dad?

Of course.

Dear God, please bring Dad home safe and

help us so we will all be able to go to sleep.

When we wake up, we won't have any worries.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

Hey, gang.

Dad!

Hey, you okay?

Yeah? How's everybody doing?

When I was driving back home, God put a verse on my heart.

Can you read it to us, Dad?

Of course I can, buddy. I'd love to.

It's from Psalm 46.

It's important that...

We remember it, especially in times like this.

This is what it says.

God is our place of safety.

He gives us strength.

He's always there to help us in times of trouble.

The earth may fall apart.

The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea.

But we will not be afraid.

I don't know about you guys, but I need a family hug.

Come on, let's get in here, Anderson family.

Come on.

Your mom and I love you guys so much. You are so precious to us.

Thank you.

think I'll ever be able to think of the Reese's home in the same way again.

I know.

It's going to be difficult.

I can't see that sort of thing, Albert.

It's etched in my heart.

I know, sweetheart.

I know.

We have to go.

We have the kids to think about.

God will keep us.

Just it.

Luke and Francine knew God just like we do.

She taught them in school. She was the daughter of a minister. How could

something so terrible... We have to trust Him.

I know... I know it's hard to understand right now.

We don't hold all the pieces, and we probably never will, but Amy, God is

greater than all of this.

He has the power to deliver us from any and all fear.

Come here.

Albert, will you go downstairs and make sure the kitchen windows are locked?

And then check on the children again?

Please?

Please.

Albert, Albert, there's someone in the house. What?

Albert, I think there's someone in the house. Wake up. There.

Did you hear that noise?

It's downstairs.

What?

It's in the hall now.

Can you go check on it?

Yeah. The children are here. Okay, okay, okay. I'm going, sweetheart.

Okay.

Oh, hey.

Hey, hey. Let go. Let go. Let go.

Come on. I thought it was someone else. It's okay.

Are you okay? I'm fine.

I'm fine. Everything's okay.

Are the kids okay?

The kids are fine.

But I know I heard something. You did. Yeah, you heard the floor creaking.

I can see how that could sound like someone walking around.

what they must have been through.

We're safe.

Heavenly

Father,

we plead the blood of Christ, Lord, over my wife.

our children, Lord, over our congregation, over our entire community,

need you.

We say, Lord, to this entire situation, we say, peace be to all.

Peace be to all our hearts, Lord, that you bring peace to us.

We thank you, Lord, for these things.

We pray for it, Lord, in your mighty...

and powerful.

God has to come, live,

and therefore thrive always.

God is living.

God is living. God

is living.

He is God.

He is God.

Pastor, everyone's afraid.

They haven't caught the killer yet.

It could be someone in this room.

Yeah, Pastor, it's really changed the whole town.

I mean, normally everyone's pretty easygoing and laid back.

And we don't even lock our doors or windows at night.

Yeah, I know.

Lori has me keeping my shotgun next to the bed now.

She hates guns.

Well,

gentlemen, I can tell you firsthand that things are challenging right now.

For all of us.

But we can't forget that God is still in control.

Yeah, but Pastor, how can God let the rhesus be cut down like that in cold

blood? I'm not saying that I understand it, Mike.

No, the reality is that we live in a sin -drenched world.

No, there really is an enemy out there that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy

us.

If there's one thing I know, it's that God...

can take a situation even like this one and make good from it.

Me, I choose to trust.

I hope you gentlemen will do the same.

You ready to go, sweetheart?

Have a blessed afternoon, gentlemen.

Go ahead, roll, roll.

Thank you for making cookies, Mary.

We thought that it would be annoying.

It goes great over there, lady.

I'll get it.

Here, hold on, buddy. I'll be right back.

Nobody is going to roll until... We'll be right back. Okay.

Pastor. Flint!

Come in.

Grace?

Can I get you some coffee or tea? The girls just made fresh cookies.

No, thank you.

So how are you two holding up?

Why did you leave the funeral so quickly?

Well, it was very hard on us, as you can imagine.

Your parents were becoming very close friends of ours.

Did you receive any money from them?

Money?

No, of course not.

How much beef did they give you?

I'm sorry.

Dad told me they gave you some.

About half.

Half a beef?

I don't understand how much money the Cranes got from our parents.

Know what? I mean, we know they loaned them some to help out, but we don't know

how. Exactly.

Everybody was taking advantage of them, of their goodness and their generosity.

Because of that, they're dead. Excuse me? What I'm saying is that because of

parents' generous spirit, they're dead.

Somebody in this town didn't get what they wanted and they got mad, so they

killed them. No, hold on, Flint.

You can't go around making accusations like that. I don't know.

Who did it yet?

But when I find out... I think we're done here. Let's go.

Oh.

And if somebody borrowed something from our parents, we want it back.

Tell them that.

Put that in one of your sermons.

Come on, Flint.

I mean it.

Sheriff Tomlin. Sheriff, this is John Claussen over on Willow Drive. I got to

thinking about this deal with the Reeses.

Yeah? I couldn't get it out of my mind. What do you mean?

I was driving to Port Angeles on 101.

I think it was September 2nd or so.

As I came across a rise in the road just past Stevenson's Tulip Farm, I saw this

woman hitchhiking.

At first, I wasn't going to stop, but then I thought she had a baby.

I felt sorry for her, so I... Gave her a ride.

I don't really think a woman could pull off a murder like everyone's saying

happened to the Reeses, but this gal didn't say much, and she didn't seem to

know where she was going.

I kept trying to find out where, but it just made her more and more nervous.

We drove through Squim and headed towards Port Angeles.

Suddenly, she asked me to stop and let her out.

It was right near the Dungeness River Bridge.

I said to her, why let you off here?

And she says, I'm going to sleep under the bridge tonight.

I told her, this is no place for a baby.

She looked like she was giving it some thought, but then she got out and walked

away.

I didn't know how to convince her otherwise, so I drove off.

That's just a few hundred yards from Teresa's place.

Yeah, I know.

Anything else you can tell me about the incident?

I'm afraid that's it, sir.

All right, John, I appreciate it. Appreciate the call. If there's anything

you can recall about it, don't hesitate to get a hold of me. Yeah, of course.

Thanks.

Are you expecting someone?

No.

Bade, you can't just come in here. Hey, we're here to protect you. Protect us

from what?

From the murderer, of course.

I don't understand.

It's like the newspaper said, Preacher. It could have been anyone in town.

You're an important man.

Important enough to protect.

Are you...

Are you sure about this, Bate? Well, that's just it. You can never really be

sure. Do you have a metal detector?

No, we don't. Did you ever consider that the murder weapon could be buried right

out there in your yard?

Well, I... You're the only decent man left in this town. They already killed

Luke Reese.

Bate, I'm... I'm concerned.

Well, you should be concerned. We're going to stay the night.

Maybe a couple nights if we need to.

Bate, I don't think that... That's great, Bate. Thank you.

Yeah, we want to make sure you're safe.

We appreciate that.

We're going to head up to bed now.

Have a good night.

Let's settle in.

Debbie.

Sweetheart. What's wrong?

Is this what it's going to be like from now on?

What do you mean?

I'm scared, Mom.

Sometimes I'll stay up at night wondering if you and Dad are going to

home.

Wondering if I'm going to have to become the parent.

What would make you think such a thing?

I don't know.

Is everything okay up there, Mrs. Anderson?

We're fine up here, babe.

Just checking.

Just so you know, I'm not okay with this.

I'm not okay with it either.

Then why'd you let them stay?

Well, I thought it would be worse if I asked them to leave.

Like telling them that I didn't trust them.

Are you telling me you trust two men with a load of guns and conspiracy

to camp out in our living room? No, sweetheart.

What I'm saying is that if I asked them to leave, they may have taken it the

wrong way.

About everything.

I jump at every sound I hear.

And I have you chasing every little noise throughout the night.

The whole town is terrified.

Poor Debbie thinks we could be killed next.

And so does Bade, apparently.

Can you make it over right now? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're right.

I can't say that I haven't wondered about a few people, but... But what? We

can't go jumping to conclusions out of fear.

I'm not just talking about you and the kids.

You know, it's like you said, this whole town is paralyzed.

I feel like I should have so much more faith in that. Oh, no.

Don't go doing that to yourself, okay?

It never happened.

I know.

I'll tell you what.

I'm going to leave her first night and let them know that we appreciate it,

we've got it covered from here on out.

Okay?

I'll even put in a few extra locks for good measure.

I'm right here.

Bates? Why'd you do it? Do what?

Call the sheriff.

All we were doing was trying to help you, trying to protect you. We did no

thing, Bates.

Why'd the sheriff come around then asking all kinds of questions about the

Reese's? I don't know. I mean, they're talking to everyone.

But it seemed to happen just after we come over to protect you that night.

You expect me to believe that's just a coincidence?

No.

Then you did it. What? No. Look, all I'm saying is that they're talking to

everyone, Bates.

I warned you.

Warned me about what? I warned you that you might regret getting to know us.

That time has come.

What are you going to do, babe?

I'm going to tell your supervisor. That's what.

Wait until he hears how you've been treating your flock.

You have every right to do that, babe.

Know this. But what?

I'm going to keep praying for you and your family.

Francine Reese was not the kind of woman to turn away a woman with a baby.

I'm thinking this deranged woman got up, went to the Reese house for some food

or a handout, and if she had a gun, she could have ordered Francine into

submission and bound her.

And if you really think about it,

this is just the size of pistol a woman would carry.

What about Mr.

Reese? How would he fit into this scenario?

His son told me, that Luke liked to go out on the family properties in the

morning to work all day long. He'd come back midday for lunch.

So maybe she surprised him when he came to the door to change his clothes.

And if you really think about it, a psychotic woman might be more likely to

untie the bonds after shooting Mrs.

Reese and might be more likely to clean up the blood.

Put out an APB on every detail we have.

Maybe someone will remember this hitchhiking baby woman.

You got it.

Alright, I understand, but as soon as you find out about that, call me back.

Thanks.

She's clean.

What? She admits to being in the area and even sleeping under the bridge, but

she didn't murder anybody.

She was up at dawn, on the road, and seen a hundred miles away from there.

She might be...

Mentally challenged, but completely harmless.

Back to square one.

Under Sheriff Jansen?

Now is not a good time.

Well, I thought you should know that my dad's .357 is missing.

Flint, I'm sorry, what did you say?

Well, my sister was doing inventory of it at my parents' place, and my dad's

.357 is missing. He always kept it in a shelf in the closet.

Here.

This is a Macon serial number.

Your parents were killed with a .22, though.

Yeah, I know. It doesn't make any sense, but still, I thought you should know.

Thanks, Flint.

Here's what we're going to do.

We're going to run the gun as stolen.

If you're okay with that.

Yeah.

Get me a signed, stolen report for that.

And call the FBI.

I want to know if anyone has ran that gun.

Oh.

And get a hold of the ATF and have them run the gun through E -Trace.

Maybe someone pawned or sold the gun for some extra cash.

Okay? Let's get this case moving again.

I'm assuming this isn't a social visit.

Do you have more questions for us?

How well do you know Bade Blake?

Well, he's a member of the congregation.

You might think this is ridiculous, but I let him and his grandson stand guard a

few nights back.

You did?

How? With their shotgun.

Right here, in fact.

Why?

Well, to be honest, I felt that it was safer to let them stay than insist that

they leave.

A bait isn't a suspect, is he, Sheriff?

No, he's not.

But I wouldn't recommend him guarding your home anymore, though.

Why?

He's a diagnosed schizophrenic.

With a record.

Really?

Well, we've had a falling out since, so... Is he harassing you? No.

No, no, nothing like that, Sheriff.

He's all bark.

He's got a good heart.

I'll keep an extra patrol in your neighborhood just in case, though.

Thank you.

Yeah, we appreciate that.

You know, we're still questioning a lot of people.

Friends of the Reeses.

We know that Mrs. Reese counseled a lot of people within the church, so we...

Everyone's still a suspect.

Whoever it was, it wasn't just a double murder.

It was a double execution.

Someone with a seared conscience.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to upset you.

Thank you for the coffee, ma 'am.

Thank you for coming by, Sheriff.

Absolutely.

I'm the Sheriff.

Yes, Mrs. Anderson.

Never mind. It's probably nothing.

Hold on a second.

In a case like this, nothing could be something.

What is it?

Um, well... Have you been

by the Crane residence yet?

No, I haven't.

Why?

Well, right around the time of the murders, Faye called Francine.

All Francine said was, I can't talk right now. I've got to go and be with my

Lord.

Faye Crane.

What else?

You don't think that has anything to do with it, do you?

It might.

Anything else?

After Faye's friend Caroline passed away, Faye had a vision that two more

would die.

She was so upset she didn't even go to the funeral.

Remember? I do, sweetheart.

Okay.

Is that it?

It's...

all I can think of for now, but we'll call you if there's anything else.

Very good.

Thank you.

We'll see you out.

Okay.

Listen, a friend of mine goes to your church. I can see if he can't loan you a

gun or two.

You can never be too careful.

Well, I don't know how comfortable I feel about that, but given the

circumstances, thank you.

You're welcome.

Have a good day.

What do you say we grab the kids, pile them into the van, go for a drive and

some fresh air?

Not too far now.

I love this place.

I still can't believe the sheriff isn't any closer to solving this than he was

two weeks ago.

These things take time, sweetheart.

I feel like if they could find out who did this, I could be myself again.

I wouldn't have to be afraid anymore.

That's not how God works.

That wouldn't be faith at all.

What do you mean?

Well, we live in fear because of the unknown.

So we fill in the blanks.

We fear the worst.

Our friends are murdered.

How can we not be afraid?

You heard the sheriff. These were executions.

Whoever did this could do this again.

I know.

I know, sweetheart.

God asks us to trust him, to deliver us in the middle of the fear, in the middle

of the unknown.

Think about Daniel when he was in the lion's den.

I mean, he faced some very real, furry, and sharp -fanged fears.

But he prayed, and he trusted while he was surrounded by his fear.

And he came out all the better for it.

A caterpillar? Well, let me see that.

What are you doing here, Sheriff?

Did you come to harass me again?

Bade, we need to talk. So talk.

I need you to leave the Andersons alone.

Don't go near their home.

Don't call them.

Just stay away.

Got it? Yeah, I got it.

Well, I understand perfectly.

I'm sorry, Sheriff.

I don't know why I did that, Sheriff. I'm sorry.

Really, Sheriff, I'm sorry.

I apologize. Forgive me.

It's okay, man.

I'm going to get you some help, buddy.

Okay? I'm sorry, Sheriff.

It's all right.

Let's go.

Albert, we're all in agreement.

You need to do more.

What do you propose that I do, gentlemen?

I've given sermons.

We've had prayer meetings. We've denounced the enemy.

When it comes right down to it, it's about people and their choices.

Now, I can lead them to the water, but it's up to them to drink it.

And the sheriff is doing everything that he can to solve this.

Now, I'm sorry, but I really don't know what more I can do.

I'm so sorry to interrupt, gentlemen.

I have Sheriff Tomlin on the line asking for you, Pastor.

Am I taking a message?

I tried, but he says it's urgent.

Okay, I'll take it. Thank you. He's on line two.

Excuse me, Tom.

Sheriff, how can I help you? I'm at the Crane residence.

Can you and your wife come and drive Faye Crane to the psychiatric hospital?

She's having a breakdown.

She says she won't go without your wife.

I understand.

Of course.

We'll be right there. Thank you.

Albert, what was that about?

Amy and I have to drive one of our church members to the psychiatric

for evaluation.

Now that's exactly what we're talking about.

This is getting out of hand.

One of our congregants is being committed to a mental institution?

If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.

Hey, guys. Everybody have a good day?

Yeah. I thought you had a board meeting. I did.

Something's come up. You want to grab a sweater? I'll explain on the way. Okay.

Becky, can you say great? Yeah. Debbie, you mind taking work for your mom? Sure.

Don't worry about it.

Love you, Dad. Love you. Bye, Mom. Love you.

I should have seen this coming.

What do you mean?

After Sheriff Tomlin's visit, she called me and she said she thought her husband

was the murderer.

That doesn't make any sense.

I know.

I assumed it was her exhaustion talking.

She asked me to pray for her and I did.

I thought she'd be okay after that.

We'll do whatever we can for them.

I can't believe it's come to this.

Don't you touch him!

Don't you touch him! Don't you touch him! Don't you touch him! I know

about him! I know everything about him!

You alright, Rob?

It's a bit tough.

Yeah, I can imagine.

We'll be right behind you.

Hit your flashes if you need any help.

Okay?

We'll meet you there.

I know who committed the murder. I know who did it. I know who did it. You

already told me. No, no, no, no, no. The psychiatrist.

And my husband's in on it.

Amy, Faye, the doctor's here.

Mrs. Crane, I'm Dr. Barrett.

I'm going to ask you some questions.

How long did it take you to get here?

How long do you think you'll be here?

I know what you did.

And I know what you did.

And I know what you did and you did and you did and you did.

Mrs. Crane, are you going to cooperate peacefully or do I need to get some help

in here? Oh, you know what? You're just a horrible...

Horrible little man.

You're with horrible people. Don't stick your head in me.

She's a stupid little numbed head with a stupid head. You know what?

I know, okay? You think you're so smart like you pulled one over on me, but I

know. No, I know.

You're not going to get away with this.

Don't touch me. You're not going to get away with this either. No, no, no, no.

No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Please, no.

The jungle's set her free! The jungle's set her free!

Don't touch me!

Do you think I could end up like Faye?

I can't shake these tears.

Sweetheart, sometimes God gives us more than we can handle.

More than we can handle on our own.

That's why he created us for a relationship with him.

But I know him.

And I know I need him.

And I talk to him.

But I just feel so trapped.

Are you not going to carry this?

Or are you still trying to carry it on your wall?

I don't know.

I'll probably be here all night with Rob.

I'll get the sheriff to get me right home.

Okay. Okay.

Give me a minute.

Of course.

Of course.

I love you. I love you too.

Mom, you're humming. I am? I am!

Debbie, that's such a great take. What's going on?

Isn't it a good take, Debbie?

What is going on? What did I miss?

We are dancing for joy, Daddy. You are? Well, I want to dance for joy, too.

Come on.

Come here, you.

I love you guys. Come here.

I love seeing you like this.

You're home. Get some time to make breakfast.

Oh, perfect.

Yeah, perfect, perfect.

Sheriff Tomlin.

Sheriff, this is Detective Reed over in Bellingham.

We've got your gun.

What? I'm sorry, did I hear you correctly?

We picked it up off of a perp last night. I ran the serial through the NCIC

got a hit.

Who is he?

Edward Chaney.

Best we can tell he's new in town. He's working as a tree planter in Bothell.

So last night he borrows his boss's vehicle and ends up in Bellingham after

picking up a couple of hitchhikers.

Now all of them have a little bit too much to drink.

Chaney runs the car off the road. One of our officers witnessed the whole thing.

The hitchhikers are laughing and Chaney takes off like a fox.

Officer Tillman is in pursuit. We lose him just outside of a nature park.

So we call in the dogs, and when we do finally catch up with him, he's got the

.357 in his possession.

Mm -hmm. Says he picked it up at a junkyard for ten bucks, but can't for

life of him remember where.

Of course he doesn't.

Oh, and you should also know that there's a hold on him from New York

parole violation.

I need to talk to him.

Yeah, sure, have at it.

Okay, thanks.

We'll be there first thing tomorrow morning.

Okay, see you then. All right, thanks.

Well, this is good.

I sure hope so.

Mr. Chaney.

Sheriff Tomlin.

Clallam County.

There's this little matter of a .357 found in your possession.

It was taken from a scene of a double homicide we're investigating.

Okay, I don't know nothing about no murder.

Like I told all the others, I bought the gun second hand. Yeah, that's right.

From a junkyard. Ten bucks.

Which one?

Oh, you know.

I can't remember.

Have you ever been to Squim, Mr. Chaney?

I came out here for work.

Right? Fresh start and all.

Violate the terms of your parole.

No, no, no. Okay.

When you get out of prison, they want you to reintegrate. Best way to do that

to move someplace new and start fresh.

I see.

Can you tell me where you were on the 2nd of September?

Ain't nobody remembers that.

You're a felon.

Violation of parole.

Cited for drunk driving.

Property damage.

Resisting arrest.

And in possession of a firearm that disappeared in a robbery.

Left two people brutally murdered.

I'm having a heck of a time believing you came out west here to turn over a

leaf. In fact, I'd bet a grand jury would have a hard time believing that as

well, Mr. Chaney.

You can't prove nothing.

And I have a one -way ticket back to New York tomorrow, so...

Oh, you're going to stay here?

Is this your guy?

I think so.

Brady? I'm afraid your trip was unnecessary.

I have here in my hand a warrant for Chaney from the Clallam County

Office. He's a material witness in a couple of murder cases.

And that supersedes your extradition order. Thanks.

He's all yours.

Looks like you got yourself an extended stay.

It's good though. Gave you a few extra days to think things over.

I wonder how many of those good people are going to have

recollections of you in their fine town after we flash your photo around.

And I wonder just how forgiving.

They'll be sat down as a panel of your peers.

There must be a very special place reserved in hell

for someone like that.

I didn't murder those people.

One of my friends that I served time with back in New York moved out here a

couple months ago.

We planned a camping trip.

The plan was to break into people's trailers when they was down at the

We started down on the Oregon coast, moved our way north.

Didn't have much luck, though.

We ended up somewhere up here before we crossed the sound and went home.

Is that it?

I said, is that it?

No more details.

If you want more details, I want a deal.

Now, I didn't murder those people, but I know who did.

Deal?

I don't make deals with convicts.

I have enough on you to put you away for life.

You'd be better off just telling me the rest.

You know what?

You're right.

You don't make deals.

The district attorney, on the other hand, they make deals.

And I wonder how they'd feel about this conversation.

I'm sure you guys are okay with this.

I just thought you might want to be here and listen to this yourselves.

Thank you, Sheriff.

We appreciate it.

Got a pen?

I knew that my Old cellmate Brian Sanders and his wife were planning on

out here once he got out.

He told me I should hit him up when I got out.

So that's what I did.

We had a couple of days off in early September, and we decided we'd just go

some fun.

We were going to rob campers.

You know, people that could actually afford to be on vacation.

We had no luck.

Apparently, you guys camp different out here than we do back east.

So the next day, we were in Port Angeles area, and we just started looking for

houses. We figured most people were going to be gone for Labor Day weekend.

So we find these houses at the back end of this dead end road, pretty far out.

It didn't look like anyone else was around.

Brian tells me, stay in the car.

He grabs his .22, gets out, and goes up to this house to check it out.

So he knocks on the door, and this old lady comes out, and he just shoves her

right through the doorway.

I didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, I hear a couple of shots going.

So I got out of the car, and I ran into the house.

Want to hear what? What is going on?

Dude, I was tying her up. I was gagging her.

This guy right here walked out. Have you shot someone?

I had to shoot him. What? Why did you have to shoot him? We need to go. Come

Let's go. No, no, no.

We need to get her in the room now. Why do we need to go? Let's go. Get up.

Now you have one.

Let's go.

And we take off.

Head back across the town and home.

Like nothing had ever happened.

So is that it?

Enough to go to trial.

We'll see if this story holds up.

There's still so many unanswered questions.

Welcome to my world.

When peace like a river

attendeth my way, when the...

It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet,

though trials should come.
