I've got a condition.

Forty gets you eight fives.

You know, the best cure for social anxiety is sunlight.

Well, | don't have social anxiety.

Right. Your undiagnosed psychic affliction.

MOLLY: There are nerves in the brain, Ee AK emer] (10 MELO) =e) Se

And they're responsible for empathy.

Bye-bye, Pastor Deaver.

He died at home. Not at the lake.

NEWSREADER: (ON TV) Six days into the search,

authorities are increasingly doubtful

that the 11-year-old Deaver boy will be found alive.

His father, Matthew Deaver,

local reverend at Church of the Incarnation,

is recovering from his injuries at home

and is in stable condition.

With highs still hovering around zero...

My body fell to Earth,

JACKIE: Yeah, | can't believe you're going to be on the show tomorrow.

It's absurd.

MOLLY: Stay glued.

-JACKIE: What is that? -It is a gazebo.

Every revitalized downtown needs a gazebo.

What's it for?

| don't know. Peaceful contemplation.

The only thing people contemplate in this town is suicide.

Well, that's because there's no job base

if you don't wanna work in a prison.

There's no local business hub

to encourage social and economic cross-pollination. Yet.

That's phase one.

Wow.

You're not gonna Say that on TV, right?

What?

Nothing, it's just that the camera guy

is gonna slip into a coma before you hit phase two.

JACKIE: So, what happens when | get there? | just tell them I'm your intern?

DEREK: Tell the court, what did you see?

GIRL: Her sneaker was full of blood.

DEREK: What was the cause of death?

GIRL: Holes punched in her stomach.

Her head was bashed against a rock ora stone.

BOY: And in your professional opinion, Coroner,

how would you categorize this murder?

Was it a crime of passion?

GIRL: The wounds on the body were deep and red,

so we believe the murderer was someone she knew.

BOY: Could it have been someone in her family?

GIRL: Maybe. We can't test the blood for that.

Or maybe it was her best friend.

MOLLY: I'm looking for someone.

DEREK: Go on with your testimony.

DEREK: Sit down. MOLLY: Just tell Derek I'm here.

BOY 2: Yes, Your Honor.

DEREK: Do you understand that these charges carry the penalty of death?

BOY 2: It wasn't me. BOY: Say "Not guilty" if it wasn't you.

I'm not guilty, Your Honor.

But the person who murdered is in this courtroom.

And about 30 gallons of water.

Couple of trout.

Where'd you send the DNA?

-DNA? -You didn't take samples?

For a suicide?

You gotta test the rubber gloves. Everything that was in the vehicle.

Little cop wisdom for you.

Suicides solve themselves.

Yeah, | appreciate that. | do.

But I'm actually looking for my client's DNA.

The one Lacy kept in a bear cage?

lf you Say so.

Well, fine.

Court order it is.

Practically everybody in this county's got family

working at that prison.

I'm sure Janice at the courthouse will make it her top priority.

Hey, Carl.

The real estate queen is demanding her own cell.

They're having a catfight down there.

Fuck her.

HENRY: Sounds like you had quite a night.

Wanna tell me what happened?

MOLLY: Not really.

HENRY: Booking officer said you'll pay a fine.

I'm not sure what impound charges are in 2018.

Then there's my fee.

I'm only $700, but...

You can probably talk me down to a Grand Slam breakfast.

Okay.

We can't do this.

What?

I'm more than happy to compensate you for your time.

Thank you. Maybe you have some kind of payment plan or...

sorry, did | miss something?

| have a medical condition.

Okay.

| feel things.

-People do that. -No, | feel things

that other people are feeling.

And some people are louder than others.

YOu...

Okay. You know

when you get a song stuck in your head,

and you can't think about anything else.

What you were doing five minutes ago,

what you wanted for dinner.

All you can think about is the fucking Bee Gees,

or whatever.

When we were kids,

you were that song for me.

And I'm not saying you're a bad song.

You're obviously a very handsome song, and charming, and smart,

and you dress beiter than the rest of the songs in this town, but--

Yesterday you barely remembered my name.

That was a lie. | was lying.

Things happen when we're together.

-When we're-- -And it can be overwhelming.

And sometimes, | can lose track of myself,

and | cannot afford to do that again.

| had a very important day today.

| signed a five-year lease on the mill downtown.

| had a whole plan, whole plan,

and | was supposed to go on Local Color this morning

cers l.@r-leleleimie -The TV show?

Yes. You know,

and then | spend five minutes with you, and the next thing you know,

I'm in a Jail cell with some prostitute

who can unhinge her jaw like a python and--

What time were you supposed to be on TV?

Like 10:00, but | was supposed to be there at 9:00 for the--

Hey. This one right here? We gotta get it back.

-Local Color? -Over there.

HENRY: Yeah, | can hold.

Hey, David, thanks for returning my call.

You are not gonna believe what's going on up here.

We're two degrees from the state of nature.

They kept him in a cage.

Yeah, yeah, like a circus tiger.

No charge, no trial, no arrest.

And habeas isn't proven,

so they're basically pretending he doesn't exist.

No, no, | wouldn't put it past them.

That's why I'm calling you. It's L-A-C-Y.

MAN: You're his lawyer. im (=i s,(-10 me) me) O

(OVERLAPPING DISTORTED VOICES)

HENRY:...to make a call.

MAN: Five minutes to air. HENRY: Tell him we've got

a history of irregular activity with this guy...

TV PRESENTER: An old adage goes, aw TmOUM MOTI Le meets

"ask a busy person."

No one these days Is busier than real estate agent Molly Strand.

| believe she's the go-getting gal

Castle County needs in its revitalization...

HENRY: We're two degrees from the state of nature.

Kept him in a cage.

(INAUDIBLE)

TV PRESENTER: She understands the importance of collaboration,

new vision, embraces tech, job opportunities,

and are those ethnic fusion restaurants? Mmm-mmm|!

Molly, why don't you go ahead and tell us what we're looking at?

sorry, I...

TV PRESENTER: Well, the town’s future is so bright,

she has to wear shades.

-Can | get a cup of coffee, please? -Well, you made a beautiful diorama

depicting the hamlet known as Castle Rock,

although it's grown a pedestrian mall.

Uh-oh.

MOLLY: Obviously, the economy's not what it used to be,

but our downtown core still has great bones.

TV PRESENTER: Well, some folks might question whether Castle Rock

requires such 4 radical transformation.

Now, what would you say to neighbors

who, well, like things the way they are?

MAN: You're his lawyer. im (=i s,(-10 me) me) O

MAN 2: But you have to Say it.

WOMAN: We are not bringing a criminal defense attorney...

TV PRESENTER: Molly?

I'd tell them to wake the fuck up.

Olal

There's a young man right now

inacell at Shawshank State Prison

whose constitutional due process was never respected.

Who was locked in a tiger cage,

no trial, no arrest,

and this is just the latest in a pattern of abuses

by our local authorities that stretches back decades.

SO, yes, | think Castle Rock is ready for a little change.

-Uhh... -CAMERAMAN: Cut to commercial.

VW/IOMAN: And we're clear.

HENRY: The truth is, this guy could actually have a record, so...

Ordinarily, | wouldn't have gone to the press.

Risky, but...

Guess we'll off-road.

Listen, | don't know how you know all that about my client,

but | appreciate you trying to help me.

| know.

HENRY: Well, it was good to see you.

MOLLY: You, too.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Mr. Deaver.

Do you remember that old toothpaste commercial?

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression"?

| think we got off on the wrong foot.

I'll be honest, | was surprised to get your call.

Didn't think anyone watched cable access anymore.

Press might not be so good for your client.

I'm sure you know.

Finally acknowledging my client exists, then?

It's the maximum settlement under state law, $300,000.

For wrongful conviction, which this isn't.

This is kidnapping.

Also, "Plaintiff shall hold harmless

“prime contractor, all directors, officers and employees."

This isn't a settlement, it's an indemnification.

The actions of one rogue ex-employee

dont reflect the values of Northeast Correctional

or its shareholders.

Throwing the old warden under the bus.

Where you throw dead perverts.

This is a turnkey solution.

He signs the NDA, he walks away

with more than he'll make in his lifetime.

We both know that the longer he stays in here,

the longer we have to prove that he's not just some victim.

In my experience, there aren't a lot of victims on the inside,

no matter how they got here.

Dandruff.

-What? -The commercial.

Let's see what he says.

(MUFFLED) Henry Deaver?

HENRY: Are you okay?

Physically?

Has anyone threatened you?

mole

| want you to listen.

I'm your lawyer now.

And your lawyer is telling you that we have a brand-new strategy

from this moment.

You wanna keep saying my name, great.

Just don't tell anyone yours.

If you got no name, you got no charge, no crime, no story.

As crazy as that may seem,

that's the best thing you have going for you, so | won't ask,

and you don't tell.

You understand?

Has it begun?

Our new game plan starts now.

Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Good.

There's an offer on the table.

The prison wants to Cap punitive damages

in exchange for letting you walk.

| say we employ the tried-and-true legal strategy

of "Go fuck yourself."

Sounds better in Latin.

In about a week, a circuit court judge

is gonna hear our habeas request.

There'll be about half an hour of witness testimony,

and then you're gonna walk out of that courthouse a free man.

The day after, we file for civil damages,

and when that's over, you're gonna own the whole damn county.

Turn this place into your boat garage.

-Boats? -That's right.

How many years old are you?

Thirty-nine.

THE KID: Do you hear it now?

GUARD: Time's up. Let's go.

Come on.

Oh, God, what a disaster.
