Clay, you're here today

to set the record straight about your father.

But first, this has been a really rough year for you,

with the accident.

How are you coping?

Yeah, um, it's...

It's been hard.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[LIGHTER CLICKS OFF]

That's the thing. He was always there for me.

That's why I can't give up.

I got to do everything I can to find him.

What's up, Henry?

WOMAN ON TV: Keep looking for his father

that might help authorities.

CLAY ON TV: My dad's not a quitter.

He'd never run.

And I know someone out there knows something,

[DISHES CLATTERING]

Uh, welcome to Surf N' Pizza,

Hang loose, and how can I help you today?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I know what I saw.

MAN: We want to believe you, Ms. Hulce.

Trust us, the department's suffered enough embarrassment.

Were you drunk?

I'm sorry?

Or high, perhaps?

Eight shots from your service weapon.

No body in the road, though you called it in.

No footprints,

just you alone on a country road.

You were either intoxicated, or you were hallucinating.

I was not drunk. I was not high.

Sir,

I know it might be difficult for you to believe, but I...

MAN: You know what you saw.

Noted.

This isn't the first time you've been called for review, correct?

Is the Ortez Mackey case relevant here?

We'll have to see.

But a situation like this merits a second look.

Now, is there anything you'd like to say

before we dig deeper?

[PAPERS SHUFFLING]

MAN: Thank you for your candor.

[DOOR OPENS]

ANNA: I swear it's like someone is fucking with me.

FISHER: Why would anyone in this quaint little town

want to mess with you, Sheriff?

There's something deeper going on with this Bill Boone shit, I...

Got to wait for the snow to melt.

If Bill was dumb enough to escape through those woods,

it's more than likely somebody'll find his body thawing out.

No sense in us trying to track him down before then.

At the Coles house,

I found new blood evidence.

What kind of new?

Bill Boone's blood.

In the dining room.

You confirm that with the lab?

[SIREN WAILING DISTANTLY]

Huh.

Coles women never said anything about a struggle.

Exactly.

How come I didn't see the blood report?

[STAMMERS]

Because I found it after we wrapped the crime scene.

I expedited the sample to an independent lab.

You broke chain of evidence?

A new warrant would've taken days.

If the board finds out about this

after you went all Wyatt Earp on your cruiser?

Shit.

Yeah, I know how it looks. I...

You sure you aren't the person fucking with you?

What are my options here?

[SCOFFS] To keep your job?

[SIGHS]

Cash in every favor you got.

And then start praying

to the holy patron saint of kissing ass.

I don't see a button for that.

Maybe the promotion expired?

You new here? You seem new.

No, I've actually worked here for 20 years.

Try another one.

Another what?

Code.

Hey, Janet.

Oh. [CHUCKLES] Grady, thank God.

This girl can't seem to find the discount code.

All right, well, let's, uh... let's see here.

It's, uh, this button right here.

It says "My Favorite Customer."

[REGISTER BEEPS]

JANET: Oh, great.

That'll be, uh, $26.53, please.

Finally. [CLEARS THROAT]

Careful on those icy roads.

Yes.

You too, you too.

Mm, ooh! [CHUCKLES] Bye!

Bye. See you.

Yeah, she's at least top three most horrible customers.

I really hope I don't meet the other two.

I'm one of them, so...

Are you?

Yeah.

You know, that makes sense.

You do seem terrible.

Hey, so um, don't get creeped out or anything, but I just...

do I... do I know you?

Like, I feel like I know you from somewhere,

and I'm just... I'm just trying to place it.

[BELL JINGLES]

Um...

You know...

Oh, sorry. Later.

Welcome to Surf N' Pizza,

where we "surf up" the best pizza

in upstate New York.

Hang loose, and how can I help you today?

We need to talk. Now.

I'm at work.

So take a break.

Where are you with the truck?

Uh, I don't know. Nowhere?

I got in it,

and then I was instantly back

at the trailer park, so...

Yeah, "nowhere" seems right.

Well, you can't let what's going on in your head

control what happens to your body.

Oh, well, if that's all.

You need to get in the truck,

control your emotions

long enough to stay in the truck.

It's the only way that this gets better.

I'm sorry, what the fuck do you think I've been doing?

I spend every free fucking moment I have

in that stupid garage, so I just...

I can't.

I... I didn't... I did not ask for this.

It's unfair, I know.

No one gave us that choice.

My break's over.

Henry.

Meet me at the garage tomorrow.

We'll do this together.

Is this the school that you're gonna visit?

It's a pretty campus.

Oh, no, that's one of my backups.

Uh, this is where we're going.

Colgate. Megan's giving us a tour.

It's not MIT, but they have a strong bio program.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Here's one from a good art school.

Maybe Henry can get her groove on there.

Hey, honey, how was work?

So much fun.

Hey, what'd your boss say?

About taking the weekend off

to visit Colgate with me and Townes.

I forgot to ask.

That's okay.

We could all go together and look at schools in the spring.

Make a trip out of it.

Henry, are you bleeding?

Yeah, I just crashed my bike, but it's not a big deal.

CLEO: Why didn't you call us?

One of us would have picked you up.

It's fine.

CLEO: Hey...

Henry, wait.

Mom, it's fine.

I just want to go to bed.

I don't want you riding your bike to that pizza place.

It's too far.

From here on, you need to ask for a ride.

Are you fucking serious?

Henry.

I got this job to help out, now I'm being punished for it?

This is about your safety. You're out there alone. Something could happen.

What's gonna happen to me, Mom?

Right. Great.

You want to go to Colgate and major in biology or whatever?

[FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING]

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]

Hey.

Meet at your house after school?

Yes, but if you are late,

I will leave without you.

The only reason you're accompanying me on this trip

is because my parents don't like me driving long distances by myself.

If it were up to me, I would go alone.

[LOCKER SLAMS]

Oh.

Pack one bag.

Megan's dorm room is small.

And no music in the car.

Or food. Plan your meals accordingly.

Townes, are you okay? Why are you being like this?

[STAMMERS]

I'm... I'm not being like anything.

I'm... I'm simply stating facts.

[LOCKER CLATTERS]

NIKOLAI: Have you ever seen Mork & Mindy?

It's about an alien that comes to Earth.

It was one of the only American shows on TV in Romania.

[STOPWATCH BEEPS]

It's how I learned English, for the most part.

The alien had this catchphrase,

"Nanu-Nanu."

For a long time, I thought that's how Americans greeted each other.

Are you having a stroke?

Just a story.

[STOPWATCH BEEPS]

[SIGHS]

Your turn.

I mean, I don't get what you want...

Tell me a story.

[EXHALES]

Well, I'm supposed to be in statistics right now,

but instead, I skipped school

to hang out in lawn chairs

with a 50... I don't know, however-old-you-are man.

[STOPWATCH BEEPS]

What is this? Are you trying to distract me?

No. Just reminding you, you're a person who had a life before what happened,

and you'll have one after.

[HENRY BREATHING DEEPLY]

[STOPWATCH BEEPS]

The first concert I ever went to...

Ramones.

Auckland, 1989.

Foo Fighters, fifth grade.

[STOPWATCH BEEPS]

My favorite holiday as a kid was

Sfantul Nicolae.

St. Nicholas Day.

He left chocolate in our boots.

Halloween, same reason.

Without the boots.

That's who I was named after.

A saint.

When I was, like, 11, my mom dated a guy named Henry.

[STOPWATCH BEEPS]

[NIKOLAI EXHALES]

Before I came to Reston, I would have said

Primm, Nevada, was the shittiest place on Earth.

[LAUGHS]

I once found this scratcher

on the ground of this crappy apartment complex

where we used to live.

I got 50 bucks, and I paid off our gas bill.

I've never won anything since.

fish are supposed to be lucky.

Here.

[IN ACCENT] I am strong man,

twisting cap off tiny bottle for woman...

who is looking at me with such anger.

[NORMAL VOICE] What happened to your meds?

They didn't give me enough to start. Refills are too expensive.

No, I'm fine. These are... extra strength.

You know, your daughter has her own pharmacy upstairs.

Oh, my God, could you imagine?

I'm just saying.

Hey, wait. Where are you going?

Stu threw me some shifts for his plowing company, so...

enjoy your peace and quiet.

No, the peace and quiet is driving me nuts.

I'm just talking to myself all day.

Maybe we could get a dog or something.

You think talking to a dog would feel different?

I don't know. I've only ever had a cat.

But you know what, the girls are gonna move out,

and this place is gonna be pretty quiet,

so maybe we get a dog then.

Well, that's assuming Henry goes to college.

Why wouldn't Henry go to college?

Well, maybe she doesn't need it.

She's... she's different. She's smart.

She could figure it out on her own.

Well... well, it's important. She needs an education.

Well, if that's what she wants.

So you don't want her to succeed.

It's hard without a college degree. You know that.

Excuse me?

I didn't mean it like that.

I just want Henry to have opportunities, that's all.

Yeah, so do I.

I am just saying that Henry isn't self-motivated like Jenna.

You just... you got to give her a push in the right direction.

So I got to push Henry into college so she can be more like Jenna

so she doesn't end up a failure like me?

You know what I mean.

No, clearly I don't.

You know how Henry is.

Apparently not, so please, keep telling me what my daughter needs.

I can't do this now. I got to go. We'll talk later.

Yeah, fine, 'cause you know what's best.

it's my bed.

[FRIDGE DOOR CREAKS OPEN, CLOSES]

Is that Megan's girlfriend?

Darcy, yeah.

How long have they been together?

Five months.

I like her,

so I don't mind if they never break up.

Megan brought her home for Thanksgiving.

Oh, so they're, like, a real thing.

Yes, but they're not as serious as Zoe and me.

We've been together over a year.

But you still haven't met yet.

Obviously we've met. We know each other very well.

No, I mean face-to-face.

That doesn't affect how well we know each other

or how... how we feel about each other.

How could that possibly be true?

You see Zach face-to-face every day.

How well do you know him?

What's his favorite movie?

Or his favorite color?

What is his zodiac sign?

That stuff doesn't matter.

Okay, does Zach have any allergies?

Those matter. They can be life-threatening.

The Dark Crystal, yellow, Gemini, walnuts.

Okay, well, whatever.

At least I know for sure that Zach is a real person.

For all you know,

Zoe could be some crazy person playing a trick on you.

Everything that she says could be a lie.

Zoe... Zoe's not a liar.

We... what we have is special.

We...

We... we don't need public displays of affection

or... or some overcrowded dance to prove we love each other.

She's real! She's real!

You watch The Great British Bake Off?

No.

[LIQUID POURING]

[SETS TEAPOT DOWN]

Okay, um...

I owe you an apology.

What I said to you before, I...

was out of line.

I know that we both want what is best for this town.

Despite our differences, I think we're on the same side.

I heard about your troubles at the station, Ms. Hulce.

Is that why you asked me here?

Actually, I wanted to talk about Bill Boone.

When Bill cut his deal with the DEA,

your husband wasn't part of his agreement.

If he hadn't...

passed away that day,

he would have gone to prison.

Bill sold him out.

I'm... I'm concerned that my troubles

might negatively affect this investigation.

Do you think you're the only one who could bring him in?

I'm the only one who is motivated.

Bill has a lot of connections in this town.

He employed a lot of people.

Not everybody wants to see him behind bars.

[SCOFFS]

It's cheap to use my husband's death

to leverage sympathy, Ms. Hulce.

Even for you.

You must be desperate.

[STAMMERS] Okay.

Look, please, Mrs. Dale...

But you were right.

I do want what's best for this town,

and I'll make sure that your replacement finds Bill...

for both of us.

Townes, we're still playing.

I said I have to go to bed.

What about best three out of five?

That's what we always do.

I'm at a ten and a half hour sleep deficit this weekend,

and I need to start making up for it.

But it's only 7:30.

And I'd like to make up three and a half of those hours.

Townes, is... is something wrong?

I need to put my pajamas on now.

MEGAN: Okay.

Uh, how about you catch up on your sleep,

and, Jenna Faith, you can come with me to Darcy's.

She's having some people over.

Oh, uh, I... I don't want to intrude.

No, you're not. It'll be fun, I promise.

These are my people.

Okay.

Yeah, my bad. Here, try that.

Oh, thank you.

But you, uh... you do go to Reston, right?

Yeah.

I went to Lincoln.

Thank you for asking.

I mean, I only kind of hated it.

And now I'm over at SUNY,

but I'm saving up to transfer out of state, so...

[CHUCKLES] You're probably wondering where, right?

[LAUGHS]

Yeah.

I'm thinking somewhere warm.

You know, I'd love to say California, but...

I'll probably end up in, like, Florida.

Why dream big when you can dream medium.

Well, hey, what can I say? You know, I'm a realist.

Mm-hmm.

Bullshit.

I've put my life on the line meeting you here.

Do you get that?

But you contacted me.

You... you warned me. Us.

Yeah, well, it was a weak moment of self-reflection.

Or a death wish.

Either way, it was a mistake.

ClearTek.

Is ClearTek the "they" you warned me about?

You get that from your subway video?

The geneticist from the video worked for them.

I've compiled a list of their employees and...

Oh, that's cute. You made a list.

Hmm. Kid, ClearTek's a shell corporation

within a shell corporation,

within a shell corporation.

Turtles all the way down.

Okay, then we need to find the kingpin

at the center of this criminal empire.

Kingpin is a Marvel Comics villain...

Okay, yeah, yeah, don't insult me, okay?

I know who Kingpin is.

Miller's Born Again was a masterpiece of modern literature.

The only difference is, this is real fucking life.

I worked for these people.

And I still have no fucking clue who's in charge.

They're ghosts.

Uh, what about the teleporter from the video?

If we find him, maybe we can team up, and...

He's dead.

Okay? They manipulate.

They brought him in when he was a kid. He was your age.

They promised him they could get rid of his seizures.

Okay, but... but really.

But really, my grandma

used to take me and my sister into the city on weekends

to go to the Museum of Natural History.

And I remember it just blowing my mind.

It still blows my mind. [CHUCKLES]

Okay, you go.

What's your nerdy science chick origin story?

Mine isn't as good as yours.

Tell me!

Oh! Okay.

Um...

You know Marie Curie?

Of course.

Okay, so it all started in the fifth grade.

I had this project

where I... I had to dress up as her

and make a speech.

Um, my mom made me this dress

that was...

Okay, honestly, it was hideous,

but I... but I looked just like her.

So you were in love with Marie Curie?

She was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize!

Hey, she was the first human ever to win it twice, okay?

And she discovered radium.

She invented X-ray machines to help soldiers.

And she did all of her research

out of, like, a literal pota...

Was that not okay?

I...

I... I should find Megan.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[EXHALES]

[LINE RINGING]

Townes. I need you to come get me.

I can't find Megan and I don't know my way back to the dorm.

TOWNES: Jenna, I... I need your help.

What do you mean?

TOWNES: It's wrong.

It's all wrong. I messed up.

Where are you?

GRADY: He's been a dick ever since he had foot surgery.

WOMAN: I told him I can work 2:00 to 4:00

Monday through Friday, and he scheduled me all the hours except those.

[SOFT MUSIC]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Hey.

Hey.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLARES DISTANTLY]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Um, Cleo?

Hi.

Hey.

What's, um...

What's going on?

I can explain.

I just, um...

I, um...

What?

It's... it's...

it's always been Henry and me, you know?

The two of us, no matter what.

This idea of her going off to college

or whatever she's gonna do, this leaving, it just...

it kills me, you know, a little bit,

and I know that that's selfish and it's not fair to her.

It's not fair to you. It's probably not fair to me.

And then... then here you are.

You're this person who calls me on my shit,

and I'm not used to that.

I'm... I mean, not in, like,

the kind and thoughtful way that you do it.

I mean, you and me, we're very different,

and maybe that's okay. I can learn from you.

Maybe you could even learn something from me.

And maybe our girls will be better off for it.

I just... Wait. Let me finish.

I'm not... [SIGHS]

I'm not used to having a partner,

not like you are to me.

You had Elizabeth, but I did everything by myself, you know?

For better or for worse with Henry, and... and you're right.

She and... and Jenna, they're gonna leave,

and that's the way it is, and that's the way that it should be,

and what I'm trying to say is,

when that happens, I want to be here with you.

Okay.

So, Thomas Hope,

would you do me the honor...

of smoking this joint with me?

[LAUGHS]

Always.

Always. Mm.

This is to mask the smell.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

I also have taquitos and pizza rolls in the oven.

[BOTH LAUGH]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You know I'm right about Bill.

I'll do everything I can...

within the confines of the law.

[CONVERSATION STOPS]

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Townes.

What happened?

[TOWNES STAMMERS]

We... we can't help her.

We can't help her.

It's okay.

Townes.

We can't...

We'll figure it out, all right?

[TOWNES SHUDDERS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

HENRY: How long?

[STOPWATCH BEEPS]

Four minutes.

Tell me more about the fair with your mom.

You said it was in a field.

There was a merry-go-round.

HENRY: Yeah.

CLEO: Henry!

HENRY: You had to have tickets to get on the rides.

My mom was there,

watching me.

Hi, baby!

[BREATHES SHAKILY]

Calm down.

Please, please, no.

[METAL CREAKING]

Don't fight it.

Take the good with the bad.

[RUMBLING]

You'll get wet soon.

Get the fuck off of me!

CLAY: Henry!

CLEO: Henry!

HENRY: Mom?

CLEO: Over here, Henry.

[CLAY GRUNTING]

HENRY: No, no, no, no, no, no!

[LOUD RATTLING]

CLEO: I'm right here.

Holy shit!

[GLASS SHATTERS]

CLAY: Henry?

CLEO: Henry?

[RUMBLING]

Mommy!

[CLEO LAUGHS]

I've got you.

[SOBBING QUIETLY]

[LAUGHS]

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

CLEO: My sweet girl.

I love you.

[SNIFFLES]

How long?

NIKOLAI: Doesn't matter.

How do you feel?

[SNIFFLES]

Safe.

What now?

Try going somewhere.

[EXHALES]

[WHOOSHING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

HENRY: Oh.

I didn't know I could do that.

I didn't either.
