Sure.

- There you go. - Thank you.

James Lindsay, huh?

Jim.

Is there a problem, officer?

I'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle, sir.

Okay.

[Dexter clears throat]

Turn around.

Hands on the truck. [Sniffles]

[Both chuckle]

[Moans] You have the right to remain silent.

[Chuckles] I can make noise if I want to though, right?

[Officer laughs, moaning]

[Radio crackles]

[Woman on radio] Chief bishop, chief bishop, come in.

Oh, what the fuck. Keep going.

- Okay. - Let them find someone else.

- Chief bishop? - [Static crackling]

Mrs. Gross' sheep got loose on the steiner property.

- They're eating his winter plantings. - Oh, fuck.

- [Static crackles] - [Dexter laughs]

[Panting] I'm in the middle of something. Uh...

[Stammers] ...Can Logan take care of it?

Logan's at the church.

The pecan pies were stolen from the potluck supper.

Obviously can't pull him off that.

Uh-huh. [Chuckles]

Obviously. Um, what about Teddy?

[Angela] It's week two, do you think he can handle a sheep crisis?

Teddy's out of commission. He just got his wisdom teeth pulled.

- [Dexter chuckles] - [Woman] Should I let Mr. Steiner know

you're on route?

Sure, Esther.

This is me en route.

It's okay. You can pull me over again some other time.

I'm sorry. You can swing by the station later.

Okay, sure thing.

I I'd turn off the TV, go for a drive I

I but I can't see there's any signs of life I

I except this Christmas tree with blinking lights... I

[man 1] Hey, Jimmy!

Morning. You coming line dancing tonight?

Yeah, I wouldn't miss it, pastor Brian.

Hey, I'm sorry about those pies.

Now how could you possibly know about that already?

- Uh, small town. - Thank the good lord.

I scared if I jump in the ocean I might drown... I

- morning, Zach. - Morning, Mr. Lindsay.

- Becca. Scott. - Hi, Mr. Lindsay.

Hey, Mr. Lindsay.

[Zach] Hey, you coming to the match next week?

I'm sure gonna try.

Go hawks.

'Sup, jimbo? How are you and Angela doing?

- Doing all right? - Yeah, as far as I know.

Why? What have you heard?

Only good things, Jim. Only good things.

The boss speaketh and so it shall be done...

Eth. [Chuckles]

I don't know what I would do without you, Jim.

- Well... - Mm!

Oh, it's so good.

Just so you know, it's gonna be a stress-y kind of week.

Brian and I are adopting.

It's so much pressure.

Wow. Yeah, I can only imagine.

Brian wants to call him Garfield.

I mean, who names a dog after a cat?

[Chuckles] Evidently Brian does.

I think this pup looks more like a gromit, don't you?

On this one, I think I'm basically Switzerland.

Smart man. [Chuckles]

[Sighs]

[Inhales sharply] And here we go.

Just the guy I wanna see.

- [Man 5] Jim. - How can I help you?

Oh, I just rolled into town with my posse. Gonna do a little hunting.

Gonna need a new knife and a big-ass gun.

All right, you looking for a skinning knife,

- or a... - Oh, this one.

- This one's perfect. - Okay.

[Man 5] Wow.

- [Grunting] - Hey! Easy there!

[Laughs] Is there a problem?

I kinda have a thing about blood.

- Oh. Ooh. [Chuckles] - [Scoffs]

Anyway, uh, how about that rifle?

The Remington 783 will do the job.

It's got a good scope, solid construction.

You drop it a dozen times, it'll still shoot straight.

Yeah, yeah, I hear you, man. Here's the thing.

- Uh, my friend bill over there... - Yeah?

He's already got that one,

and I want a gun that's gonna make his one look like a super soaker.

-Ah.

- That one. I want that one. - You sure? [Stammers]

It's gonna set you back $9,000.

I got a nice Christmas bonus at Morgan Stanley.

Okay.

[Exhales]

[Grunts] You know, this is way more firepower

than anything you need hunting around here.

Oh, yeah? What do you hunt?

Me? I don't anymore.

I haven't killed any animals since I was a teenager.

Look at you, Saint, uh, Jim.

Yeah, I'll take it.

Not a problem.

Just gonna need some ID

for the federal background check.

Dude, really? [Scoffs]

How long you been working here?

Mm, a couple years.

That's me, up on the wall.

I was on Fred senior's little league team when I was six.

- Nice. - [Man 6] Yo, Matt!

- We need this stuff? - [Matt] No, no.

I got a ton of that in my dad's mud room.

Speaking of my dad, he bought me my first rifle

in this very store when I was ten.

[Computer beeps] [Dexter sighs]

What the actual fuck, man?

[Dexter] It happens sometimes.

It's just a 24-hour hold while the FBI checks on your record.

So, same time tomorrow?

Well, dude, just sell me the gun.

[Dexter] I gotta follow procedure.

Neither of us want Fred to lose his business, right?

Oh, yeah. Oh, okay, eagle scout.

[Scoffs] [Dexter laughs]

You know, you break a rule,

sometimes you might even have a little fun.

[Inhales, exhales]

Oh, fuck it. Whatever.

Means I get to start drinking earlier.

- Taking this though. - Okay.

- Gotta keep your guard up, dude! - Whoa!

- Damn it! Matt, I almost shit myself. - [Laughing]

[Man 6] So fucking...

[Matt] Come on, let's get out of here. Let's get our swerve on!

First round's on you.

Thanks for shopping at Fred's fish & game.

Jim.

[Door closes]

[Inhales deeply]

I somber music playing I

[Door opens]

Jim, I heard a red flag came up on Matt Caldwell.

Seems like trouble follows Caldwell the lesser wherever he goes.

There really are no secrets in this town.

[Gasps] Ange is in a meeting.

[Angela speaking indistinctly]

[Door opens]

Hey, Teddy. How you feeling?

[Mumbles] Been better. [Door opens]

Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, can you give me a hand with these?

Evidence from the congregational church theft.

Keeping iron lake safe one pie at a time.

- [Chuckles] - You're welcome very much.

Logan, you've known Matt since forever,

what do you think he could have done

to flag the FBI on a gun background check?

He tried to buy a rifle at Fred's. I'm sure it's just a formality.

These pies smell amazing.

[Logan] Matt Caldwell's a good guy.

Kicking some major ass on wall street.

I mean, he likes to hang, drink, gamble, fight or two in high school.

But, no, yeah, he's a good guy.

I bet it was that boat crash out in Ohio.

No, no way. Matt wasn't even driving.

- Five people died. - [Teddy] Shit.

[Logan] Matt was in the hospital for weeks.

Shattered femur, major surgery.

That whole thing was just a really tragic accident.

In fact, I bet his record is spotless.

[Keys clacking]

Okay, maybe a few spots.

Is there any progress on putting up that stop sign

over by Louis's package store?

[Dexter inhales]

- That's an accident waiting to happen. - [Door opens]

[Dexter] That's all I'm saying. [Angela] Thanks for your time, Dennis.

I will let you know if anything else turns up.

Sure thing.

See ya, folks.

- [Exhales] So, no good, huh? - The same as always.

No body, no pattern, no case.

And no funding.

Until one of these women turns up dead.

Hey, my money's on you.

Line dancing tonight?

What time?

- Oh. - [Logan] Oh.

I thought it was more of a-a group thing. My bad.

You two have fun.

- See you tonight. - Bye.

I lighthearted music playing I

[car door opens, closes] [Angela] Sorry.

Mad dash. Thought you'd appreciate seeing your girlfriend

in something other than a state-issued uniform.

[Chuckles] You look cute in that uniform. [Inhales, exhales]

That's why I like you, Jim Lindsay.

["Heart of glass" by blondie playing]

I once I had a love and it was a gas I

- [indistinct chatter, laughter] - I soon turned out had a heart of glass I

-I seemed like the real thing I -aw, Esther.

She never misses a chance to break out that rhinestone skirt.

I mistrust, love's gone behind I

I'm gonna get you that drink.

[Woman speaking in Spanish]

[Ramon speaking in Spanish]

- What's up, Jim? - Hey, Ramon.

You're working on a school night?

School has finals all week. Ergo, I don't have to grade anything.

So, picking up some extra shifts

- before the holidays. - Got it.

Chivas, rocks, ipa, and a veggie nachos?

- Am I that predictable? - Wanna shake it up?

- I got a pickleback special. - [Chuckles] No.

We're good. Uh, just put it on my tab.

No need. Matt Caldwell's buying everyone a round.

Yo, it's Jim! Jim!

Jim! Jim! Jim! Jim! Jim!

Jim! Jim! Jim! Jim! [Laughing]

Put it on my tab anyway.

Okay. Chivas, rocks, ipa, nachos.

Yeah. [Exhales]

- Chug. Give me the fucking bottle. - [Exhales]

Last thing that guy needs is more liquor.

Or more firepower.

You know the messed up part?

FBI gets backed up and half the flags clear automatically.

People fall through the cracks all the time.

[Laughing] [Matt] Oh, I fucked it up!

You're off the clock. Let's not talk about work.

Let's dance.

Can't let Esther and Alan show us up.

I lost inside I

-I adorable illusion I -ooh.

- Yeah. [Chuckles] - I and I cannot hide I

I I'm the one you're using I

I a secret waits inside I

[Angela woos, laughs]

I a place that you can't find I

[Matt] Jim!

Look at you, getting all extracurricular on a Tuesday night.

- Now we're talkin'. [Chuckles] - Hey, Matt.

I'm having a party tomorrow at my dad's place. You should come.

I'll, uh... see.

Great.

Hey, listen.

I was thinking.

Why don't we get out of here?

You could open up your shop, give me that rifle.

My guys and I, we wanna go hunting in the morning.

If your background check clears, you can come and pick it up

at the store in the morning. [Exhales]

I'm sure your buds are gonna be really impressed

with the size of your gun.

I club music playing I

[laughing]

Man. This eagle scout loves his rules!

- Eh... - [Matt] You know what?

Why don't you come to the party anyway?

You never know.

Maybe you'll even enjoy yourself.

[Men laughing]

I find a way somehow I

girlfriend's a cop, huh?

Should probably come stag.

There's gonna be a lot of red flags there, if you know what I mean.

I release me to the night I

ioh, ohl

how much is a plain burger, without cheese or anything?

- Seven-fifty. - What if I don't get fries?

Doesn't come with fries, honey.

Hey, Tess. Put it on my tab.

Fries, too.

Are you sure, ma'am?

I'm extra sure if you don't call me "ma'am."

[Chuckles softly] You got it.

Thanks. Seriously.

You're not from around here.

Taking the first bus out tomorrow.

Just gotta make sure I got the fare.

Just take this.

Just in case.

And if you need a place to stay tonight, Desiree over there,

she runs a shelter just down the road.

I'm good. But wow.

Thanks.

Besides, who checks my petty cash vouchers?

Mm, that'd be me.

That was kind of you.

Hey, you wanna get out of here?

You can pull me over by the old solly farm.

- Mm. - [Phone chimes]

- [Sighs] - Uh, it's my smart doorbell.

[Angela] Audrey's got way too many kids over.

Oh, aren't you glad they didn't have these things

when we were younger?

You better believe it.

Time to be a mom.

- Okay. - Even... when you're off the clock,

you're on the clock.

Mmm.

Matt Caldwell's been cleared.

He wants the gun dropped off at his dad's lodge.

Should we really sell him that gun?

Nine grand? Uh, yeah. [Chuckles softly]

- It's called commerce. I'm into it. - Right.

Plus, Matt's dad's been a real friend to us for years, so...

I'm not comfortable delivering the gun. Can't you do it?

Yeah, I lost the name battle. Happy husband, happy life.

So that he could go free and-and bang my girlfriends? [Scoffs]

I can't believe that I was... [inhales]

That two grand a week and-and a goddamn rolex

was worth taking the fall.

And his fucking dad had to sell two fucking trucks to cover me

and those cops out in Ohio. [Chuckles]

Hope it was worth it!

Well, if Matt was driving, why didn't he stop?

Because he was playing chicken.

Except Matt was wasted.

- He hated that guy. - [Matt laughing]

Lost half a mi! On some deal because of him.

- [Woman moaning] - You wanna know the worst part?

Uh, not really.

[Bill] The other guy gave up.

Turned the boat away. Totally yielded.

He didn't do anything wrong.

He was perfect.

He didn't deserve that.

But as bad as that was, that's not the worst thing you've done.

You're fucking crazy, man.

Tell me what you did!

Own it.

Or?

- [Ghoulish noise] - ! 9aspsi

You're a serial killer?

I was.

But, you know what, you're right. Who are we fucking kidding?

It's not so much that I was.

[Breathing heavily] It's that I am.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Um...

This is about the boat, right? Hmm?

Yeah, the part where you were driving, the part where the other guy yielded,

the part where you rammed him anyway,

the part where five people died because of you!

All right, all right! Huh.

I did everything you said on the boat, okay? It's true.

I admit it. I was wrong.

I was wrong! Just please, please...

You shot my deer!

And you almost... killed... me!

I promise! I promise, I will never do anything like it again.

[Stammering] I swear to you.

I promised the same thing and look at me now.

Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait!

You don't understand! It's not my fault!

It's not my fault!

[Sobbing] Okay? My mom died when I was eight!

My dad, he was never around. He was always working!

[Stammering] I had... I had a shitty childhood, okay?

You're blaming this on bad parenting?

[Matt] It's true. It's not my fault, okay?

I didn't have anyone.

I had... I had nothing.

I had no compass. H was just...

You know, I lost both my parents when I was young, too.

[Breathing heavily]

I wouldn't have had any direction if it wasn't for Harry.

Who's Harry?

He adopted me.

Then you understand. You get it.

So you're not gonna kill me!

We're past the point of no return on that one.

You know what?

Fuck you, man!

My dad, he is gonna destroy you!

He knows everybody in this town.

They love him. They would do anything for him.

And when he finds out what you did to me, he is gonna find you

and he is gonna rain down

a world of pain on you, man!

You have no idea what you're doing!

Like you said, life is short... dude.

[Matt groans]

[Breathing heavily]

[Exhales] [Dexter] Tonight's the night.

I pulsing, tense music playing I

[Phone buzzing]

[Inhales deeply] Hey, you.

[Angela] I thought you were coming to the Christmas tree festival.

Fox got in the henhouse.

It's kind of a mess here.

Well, we'll miss you.

I somber music playing I

I thought you might need this.

You know, after Miami...

Could never get used to this damn cold.

[Inhales deeply, exhales]

I thought you didn't know me.

[Scoffs]

[Inhales]

You were right.

[Breathing heavily]

Come home.

Please.

I somber music continues I

[Engine stops] [Music fades]

[Dog barking in the distance]

[Dexter] My father protected me,

kept me alive.

And that's exactly what I'm going to do for my son.

I somber music playing I

I somber music continues I

[Music fades]
