Original subtitles

Rusty: The truth must dazzle gradually.

Or every man be blind.

-I didn't get away. -What?

[gasping]

[Man speaks indistinctly]

-Man: Get her inside. -Come here, sweetheart.

-Nobody can know. -None of this is your fault.

Rusty: Father's job is to love his daughter

the way she needs to be loved.

Charlie: We can't keep talking to each other

and we can't meet up like this.

This all has got to stop.

It was me that loaded the gun.

I don't think it was your idea.

The gun was in my hand.

Sam: Pink was shot first, not Emma.

Rusty wanted to pay Zack Jr. two grand a month,

but he didn't want Zack Jr.

to know where the money came from.

This account has nearly 2 million bucks in it.

Why would Dad have anything

to do with Zachary Culpepper?

[dramatic theme playing]

Samantha.

[door closes]

[tense theme playing]

Charlie: Hey.

What the fuck are you doing here?

-I told you to leave me alone. -Huck: I know.

I'm sorry. I just...

-Is Samantha here? -My husband is here.

Look, I'm... sorry about your dad.

Charlie: My dad? Huck.

Four days ago, you turned into a total prick

when I told you my last name.

What is going on?

You're not here to console me.

[sighs] Look, I just need to talk to you and Samantha

about something that's... It's important.

Are you here to confess?

How well do you really know Kelly?

-Kelly? -You heard the question.

-What does Kelly have to do wi-- -Did you touch her, Mason?

What the fuck is that supposed to--

Did you rape her, or did you take advantage of her? How else

-would you like me to ask? Fuck you.

-You know she's pregnant? -What?

-Are you the father? -I never touched her--

Did you tell her to take that gun to school?

-Are you crazy? -What were you arguing

-with Judith about? -Will you just let me

fucking answer?

I never touched Kelly.

Do you understand? Ever.

I didn't know that she was pregnant.

Jesus Christ.

I was arguing with Judith about getting some after-school time

with Kelly to help her graduate.

I had no idea about anything else.

Okay, Charlotte, you have to believe me.

-I don't have to do anything. -[door opens]

Mason.

Why are you really here?

This was a mistake.

[Huck sighs]

My father told me you're trying to rewrite your own story.

Is that why you're here?

Are you trying to rewrite

your story with us?

Did you know our father?

Everybody knew him.

Did you know him personally? Did you talk to him?

Charlie: How did you know we were gonna be here?

I think he was hoping we wouldn't be.

I have to go.

Are you the asshole who burned down our house?

[tense theme playing]

Anna Lee testified that same week our house burned down.

What?

Sam: It was him.

He threw the Molotov cocktail.

I didn't know it'd burn like that.

It was meant to be a warning.

But Rusty was back in the courtroom the very next day.

We lost everything because of you.

I lost my sister.

Sam: Are you here because

you're worried we're gonna find something in there?

Were you gonna break in?

We have a lot to talk about. Yeah.

Charlie.

[door opens]

You motherfucker!

-Charlie: Ben... Ben. -[Men grunting]

-[blows landing] -Fight me!

Fight me, motherfucker! Fight me!

-You fucking coward! -[grunting]

Fight me!

[blows continue landing]

-You brought Zack here. -[continues grunting]

He murdered their mother.

He raped my wife.

-[blows continue landing] -You brought him here.

You fucking brought him here!

[suspenseful theme playing]

Well, hi, little pet...

Young Charlie: Mama! Come quick.

Gamma: Charlotte Quinn, how many times

have I told you not to use adjectives

in place of adverbs?

Zack: Who else is in the house?

-Uh... My sister and mom. -Huck: Come on, man.

They weren't supposed to be here. Let's just get out.

Zack: Where's your fucking daddy?

Gamma: I have $50 in my purse

and another 200 in a mason jar in the barn.

-Zack: Fuck that. -[whimpers]

Get the other girl in here...

-[gun cocks] -...now,

goddamn it.

Gamma: Samantha,

I need you to quickly make your way into the kitchen.

[tense theme playing]

Gamma: It's okay.

You tell me what you want.

I give it to you, and then you leave.

Zack: Oh, yeah? And what if I want that?

Huck: Come on, brother, stop fucking around.

You called him "brother"?

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

Piece of shit.

[spits, groans]

You called him "brother".

[tense theme playing]

I called everyone "brother". Jesus.

[Huck sobs]

I'm sorry.

Oh, God, I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry.

I found this confession upstairs.

He gave Zack Culpepper five grand...

and they were supposed to kill Rusty,

then drive to Bridge Gap

and kill the man that raped his sister.

You didn't have the balls to do it on your own, did you?

That's why you had to get a Culpepper...

$5,000.

That's what our mother's life was worth?

What do you think Anna Lee's life was worth

when Rusty was finished with her?

He tore her apart on the stand.

He made her believe that it was all her fault.

And she did.

She believed it.

The case was dismissed the same day you showed up.

[breathes deeply]

You were supposed to be at track practice.

-All of you. -Our mother kept us home.

We were upset because you burned down our fucking house!

'Cause I was just so desperate for someone to pay.

I didn't mean for any of it to happen.

You brought a psychopath and two loaded guns into our kitchen.

What did you think would happen?

I was just a kid. I was terrified of Zack too.

The only reason any of us survived

is because I stopped him.

-Please, Charlie. -Man: You don't think cops

-found their mama by now? -Charlie, listen to me.

As soon as I tell you to, you need to run.

[whispering] I can't see. You have to go now.

Zack: Guns are gonna be too loud.

Young Sam: Please, Charlie, you have to run.

You're gonna need to slit her throat.

-Huck: She's just a kid. -Zack: She's a fucking witness.

I need to see you get your hands dirty, brother.

I need you to run, okay?

Charlie. Go. Now. I want you to run.

Huck: Nobody else is getting hurt.

[screams] Charlie, go!

Zack: Don't point that at me, you...!

[gunshot]

[tense theme playing]

-Huck: Fuck! -Zack: Come back here!

Get rid of her. I'll grab the little one.

Come here, girl!

Huck: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

[breathing heavily]

[breathing heavily]

[tense theme playing]

[thudding and loud splash]

[gasps]

[breathing deeply]

[Charlie screams]

[Charlie struggling in distance]

[panting]

Huck: Zack? Get off her!

-Motherfucker! -[grunting]

She's just a kid! You piece of shit!

-Zack: Get the hell off! -Huck: Fuck you!

[Zack & Huck continue grunting]

[tense theme playing]

[Huck breathing heavily]

[gasps]

[Huck sniffles]

I ran six miles to find a payphone in town.

[sniffles]

I told my parents everything.

I wanted to turn myself in, but...

...they wouldn't let me.

You could have walked to the sheriff's station,

turned yourself in.

Cops had already beat the shit out of Zack

and killed Daniel in cold blood.

What do you think they would have done to me?

Were you scared?

Nothing would have changed things by ruining my life too.

Yeah? That's what matters?

Ruining your life?

He chased me down like an animal!

He was the weapon that you loaded!

Everything that Zack did that night

happened because you pointed him in our direction!

I didn't have to go back. I risked my life to save you.

From what?

His fingernails ripping my skin open?

He damaged me!

I can't give my husband children because of you!

Rusty damaged Anna Lee.

She killed herself because of him.

I was a stupid 17-year-old, but I found my sister's dead body.

What was I supposed to do?

You should have hanged yourself in the barn right alongside her.

[tense theme playing]

You left me in that creek to die.

I thought you were dead.

[spits, sniffs]

I went to war.

I came back here to help kids like me.

I've spent every second of my life

trying to make up for that night.

Including bribing Zack Culpepper?

Sam: We know about the deal, Mason.

$2,000 a month to Zack Jr.

so Zack Sr. keeps his mouth shut.

My parents made the deal.

I only found out ten years ago.

My dad was already gone.

My mom was dying of cancer.

It's the only reason she told me.

Look, Daniel Culpepper was dead.

Zack was going to death row.

Old Sheriff Coin negotiated the terms.

Keith built his whole career off that night.

It's his origin story.

Whole town treats him like a fuckin' hero

'cause you framed Daniel for your crimes.

How did Rusty get roped

into your parents' deal with Zack Sr.?

After my mom died, I came here to confess.

Rusty said he wouldn't blow up your lives,

that you would've had to go through new trials

and appeals and lawsuits.

Around the same time as New York.

He made me turn over the money to him.

Then he made me sit down at the kitchen table

and write out my confession.

[dramatic theme playing]

Sam: Did Rusty forgive you?

No. He said I was one of two men on earth

that he would never forgive.

Why did Rusty want to control the money?

Huck: Well, he said eventually

you guys would have to make a decision,

whether to keep paying...

...or show my confession to the cops.

He said the, ah...

truth couldn't be

too bright or burn brighter.

It has to dazzle gradually.

Huck: So it's up to you now.

Both of you.

[Men speaking indistinctly over police radio]

Man 1: ...do you copy?

Man 2: Go ahead and assess.

[people speaking indistinctly]

-Ben: You sure about this? -Sam: It's a temporary fix.

Mason'll go to prison for stealing the murder weapon.

And we'll have some time to figure out what we want to do.

-[car door closes] -Well, he thinks

he wants to be punished, but

after he's spent a few nights in jail...

-he's gonna fight it. -[footsteps approaching]

Let him try.

Dive team's coming up from Atlanta to drag the lake.

I don't need to tell you we need that gun to make our case.

What if I had a recording of Mason Huckabee

admitting he stole the revolver from the school?

Holy shit.

How long will he get for the gun?

Ten years, if we push for the max.

-You need to push hard. -I need to speak to your wife.

No, you don't.

My statement will provide you with all the details you need.

[dramatic theme playing]

[door opens]

Mason's confession doesn't say

what happened to me in the woods.

How did you know?

Rusty told me.

Yesterday morning.

He said...

that agreeing not to tell

was the hardest decision he ever made.

It wasn't a decision. It was a promise.

It was my secret.

You only keep secrets when you're ashamed.

And he was never ashamed of you.

Not about anything. And especially not about that.

It weighed on him.

[sighs]

I was pregnant in New York.

It wasn't a UTI.

It was a miscarriage.

I lied to you... and I kept lying.

I didn't tell you

what happened to me in the woods.

And the worst part is that I punished you...

for not figuring it out.

I got angrier and angrier, like it was your fault.

But it wasn't.

It was me. Every time.

Every... Every fucking time.

Did the doctor tell you that?

Well, then you can't be certain that's the reason.

Kaylee could give you children.

Kaylee gave me gonorrhea.

Skanky twat!

I only slept with her twice.

Twice in a row or two different times.

Two different times.

What, two different sessions, or...?

Chuck.

It was never gonna be anything more than what it was.

-She's too-- -Dry?

-Loose? -[scoffs]

Scratchy?

Boring.

She thought that Buffy should have ended up with Angel.

Wow. How did she make it through law school?

You were right too, about being on top.

-It's a lot of work. -Oh. [laughs]

Thanks for that image.

Try never being able to sneeze again.

[chuckles]

When I was 9 years old, my cousin Patrice,

she kicked me in the nuts so hard

I peed blood for a week.

And when I was 13, I masturbated so much

-I got a blister. -[Charlie scoffs]

And my mom had to take me to the pediatrician.

[laughing] Oh, my God, Ben.

I played triangle in the band.

I was the only member of the Starfleet club.

[clicks tongue] I was a late bloomer.

I obviously wasn't meant to procreate...

and...I don't know

if we can't have kids because of something that happened to me

or something that happened to you,

but... that's just a fact of life.

It doesn't fucking matter.

-Of course it matters. -Not to me.

Do you not understand what a fantastic father you would be?

You're a walking dad joke. [sniffs]

You love kids.

I love you.

[tender theme playing]

I love you.

I love you too.

[kiss]

Charlie: I think Rusty knew he was gonna die.

That's why he sent us on this scavenger hunt.

Sam: I had given up on you, and I was gonna go home.

That's when he told me the photograph of Gamma was here,

and he said that you'd know where to find it.

Roped you back in.

He wanted us to find Mason's confession together.

He wanted you to decide whether to use this or not.

He knew it wouldn't just hurt Mason.

-That it could hurt you too. -Cryptic motherfucker.

Oh, fucking Culpeppers.

[door closes]

They were right all along. Daniel was innocent.

I'm the reason he's dead.

Mason's the reason he's dead.

Keith's the one who shot him.

Sam: Old Sheriff Coin must have planted the revolver on Daniel,

and then put Mason's high tops in the burn barrel.

The original Coin Trick.

Charlie: Sam says I have to decide

what to do about the confession.

But I don't want to do anything.

Sam: Then we don't do anything.

Zack Jr. stops getting paid.

Zack Sr. talks.

He testifies that Mason paid him to kill Rusty.

The prosecutors can't force us to help make their case.

They have to subpoena us if they want us to testify.

We'll deal with it, and we'll go on with our lives.

It's that easy?

It will be if you're not in Pikeville anymore.

Mason could end up on death row.

I doubt he'd get the death penalty.

We both saw Zack shoot Mama,

and there's no way to prove

that Mason fired that revolver at me.

Legally speaking, it doesn't matter.

The gun was in his hand.

What?

It's called transferred intent.

You're a prosecutor. You know how it works.

You're with somebody who commits felony murder.

You can both be charged with murder.

Sam: Yes, Charlotte, I know the law.

It's what Ben said

about the gun being in Mason's hand.

Transferred intent.

We don't know whose finger actually pulled the trigger.

[suspenseful theme playing]

Ben, can you get your laptop?

Charlie: What are you looking for?

Sam: I'm not sure.

Play that again.

[button clacks]

Judith didn't even look at Pink.

Sam: Cue it up to the moment right before Pink was shot.

And make that bigger.

Lower? On the gun?

Ben: I can make it bigger,

but it's not gonna be sharper.

How about, um, color? Contrast?

[dramatic theme playing]

What's this line?

Ben? Was Pink's body released?

No.

Medical examiner said it's gonna be a couple of weeks.

Then what was Judith doing picking up dry cleaning

two days after the shooting?

I saw the shirt she was wearing during the shooting

in the bag with one of Pink's suits.

Her clothes weren't taken into evidence?

Ben: Oh, it was chaos.

Judith wouldn't let go of Emma.

The paramedics had to sedate her.

It would have been easy for her to hold on to the shirt.

Nobody would have noticed.

Sam: And she got it dry-cleaned

less than 24 hours after Pink was murdered.

Are we saying what I think we're saying?

No, we're not, we're not.

I mean, it doesn't make any sense.

Why would Judith not throw the shirt away?

She wanted it clean in case they tested for gunshot residue.

Mason told me he argued with Judith about getting more time

after school with Kelly.

Ava told me Kelly was at school too much.

Ben: In her witness statement,

Judith said she was tutoring Kelly

after school three days a week.

Why did she need that much time with Kelly?

[dramatic theme playing]

Whose classroom is on the left?

Judith's.

Kelly wasn't psyching herself up.

She was talking to Judith.

Sam: And Judith was talking to Kelly.

Ben: Two arms.

One dark...one light.

What if Pink was the target?

Emma wasn't even supposed to be there.

Maybe Kelly didn't pull the trigger.

The gun was in her hand.

[night creatures chittering]

[suspenseful theme playing]

I'm never gonna be okay with this.

Sam: She won't believe it's true

unless she hears it from Judith.

Ben: If it is true,

then Charlie's putting herself alone in a room

with a double murderer.

-Charlotte? -Sorry I didn't call first.

[Judith scoffs]

You're always welcome here. Come in.

[door closes]

[suspenseful theme playing]

I was just having some tea.

Would you like some?

Uh, sure. Thanks.

Judith: Please sit down.

[spoon clanking]

[liquid pouring]

[hushed whispers]

My baby.

Here you go.

This belonged to my grandmother.

I'm so clumsy lately.

I don't know where my mind is.

I'm just trying to fix it.

What brings you here, Charlotte?

I never thanked you.

Uh, everything you did for me back then.

Keeping my secret.

[over phone] Thank you.

Judith: People say that

God doesn't give us more than we can handle,

but I don't think that's true. Do you?

I realized something tonight.

When you keep a secret,

it can turn you into a person you don't want to be.

Can it?

[tense theme playing]

Why is it you, Charlotte?

Why didn't the police come?

Do you want it to be the police?

Will you help me fix this?

I cannot bear the thought

of leaving this in pieces.

[sighs]

So.

It's pretty clean. If you just hold the edges,

I'm gonna...

-...try and... -[snips]

Thank you.

I don't think...

...you'll be able to see the line.

You just push it together.

[ceramic scrapes]

Here we go.

That's right.

Good girl.

I walked in on Douglas fucking Kelly Wilson.

I'm sorry for the coarse language, but...

...when you forget your keys

and you walk back to your classroom and you

see your husband having sex with a, uh...

...a teenager.

That's the word that springs to mind.

Charlie: You could call it what it is. Statutory rape.

You're right.

She was a student under his care.

Just keep holding that, please. I'll, um...

[footsteps pattering over phone]

[drawer opens over phone]

See, well...

I knew...

that Kelly was pregnant long before she did.

[Judith sniffles]

The morning sickness, the, uh, listlessness,

the exhaustion.

I confronted Douglas about it finally, but he already knew.

He didn't notice the residue from my hormone patches,

but he knew Kelly was pregnant.

So he instructed me to meet him in the car after school.

He told me that it was God's will

that we raise the child together.

Tell me that we would be converting my office

into a nursery.

And he said that-- that I would have to quit teaching.

He told you?

Yes, that's how it worked in my marriage.

A wife follows a husband's lead.

Wasn't gonna be him getting up in the middle of the night,

changing diapers. It was gonna be me.

He assumed that I would do it.

He assumed I would do everything.

[smacks lips]

I usually did.

You have no idea what it's like not to matter.

To live in the same house with a man

who makes you feel like you're nothing.

I came into that marriage a full person.

My own ideas and...

...little by little, he... He just erased me.

Do you know what that feels like?

To watch yourself slowly disappear?

Two people died...

because your husband was a controlling asshole.

Don't you believe in monsters anymore, Charlotte?

Am I looking at one right now?

I think you know the answer to that.

I didn't know that you were gonna be there.

I would have done it another day.

Are you sure it's still recording?

[tense theme playing]

When you teach children with intellectual disabilities,

you realize that there's the disability

and then there is the underlying personality.

And some of them can be insufferable jerks.

-But not Kelly. -Not Kelly, no.

No. No, she was sweet.

[suspenseful theme playing]

She'd do almost anything you ask her to do.

She's like this plate.

Fragile.

You know you could destroy it if you wanted to.

How did you destroy Kelly?

I trickled poison into her ear.

Slowly at first.

Then it was easy.

She was terrified that she was gonna be forced

to have another abortion.

I told her that

Douglas was lying to her.

Told her that he had no intention

of raising the baby with me.

Said that he was gonna force her to... to kill it.

And she believed you?

She believed every word out of my mouth.

Charlie: Kelly didn't want to shoot anyone.

Judith: No, she didn't want to shoot anyone.

And when it came down to it, she froze.

Then Douglas came round the corner,

he saw the gun, it was all too late,

and...I stood behind her.

I wrapped my finger around hers.

[exhales]

Judith: And I pulled the trigger.

You pulled the trigger more than once.

I had to make it look like she was serious.

How else was I gonna be the...?

The hero who saved her? The grieving widow?

The beneficiary of Douglas's life insurance policy?

I was gonna live my life on my terms.

What about Emma's life?

But that was a mistake.

It was a horrible, unforgivable mistake.

[Charlie panting]

[gunshot]

[gunshots]

-[Kelly grunting] -[gunshot]

[Kelly whimpering]

Judith [whispering]: Give me the gun.

Kelly wouldn't let go of the gun.

We struggled and it went off.

[gunshot]

[dramatic theme playing]

Charlie: Were you really gonna gamble your freedom

on Kelly Wilson's ability to keep her mouth shut?

No, I was gonna shoot her in the head.

But I ran out of bullets.

[dramatic theme playing]

[dramatic theme playing]

[inaudible dialogue]

I think you've gotten enough, Charlotte.

-You need a lawyer. -I think you need to leave.

I'm just gonna rinse these glasses.

[footsteps pattering over phone]

[water faucet flows]

I have a Bible verse for you, Charlotte.

[Judith sniffs]

This one might be familiar.

It's from Exodus.

Thou shalt give life for life.

Eye for eye,

hand for hand, foot for foot.

Burn for burning. Wound for wound.

[gun clicks]

[tense theme playing]

Judith.

No.

Give me the phone. Give it to me.

[breathing heavily]

I, Judith Hiller, murdered Douglas and Emma.

I pulled the trigger six times.

Kelly is innocent.

Hey, talk to me. Talk to me.

Charlotte, listen to me.

This is my decision.

Come on. I can help you.

I can help you.

Okay, listen to me.

-[gun cocks] -No. Oh, Jesus Christ, Judith.

-Get out of my house! -What are you doing?

-I don't want to hurt you. -[door unlocks]

Charlie: Please don't do this.

-Judith. No! -[door slams shut]

-Get out of my house. -You don't have to do this.

Please don't do this, Judith.

[whimpers]

Get the fuck out of my house now!

-Get the fuck out! Please go! -[sobbing] Judith.

No! Judith.

Fuck!

Judith!

-[banging] -Judith!

Judith!

-Judith, no! -[gunshot, thud]

[sobs]

[hyperventilating]

-[sobbing] -Hey. Hey.

Ben: I got you.

I couldn't save her. I couldn't...

[continues sobbing]

[crickets chirping]

[melancholy theme playing]

[birds chirping]

[paper rustling]

Now, let's be reasonable here, Samantha.

The girl's walking away from death row.

Anything less than that is gravy.

Kelly Wilson murdered two people.

Judith Pinkman murdered two people.

You didn't process her hands for gunshot residue.

You didn't take her shirt into evidence.

You broke the chain of custody on the murder weapon

when you allowed a witness to steal it. All of this

while your deputy chief brutally attacked my sister.

-Now, hold on... -Charlotte was obstructing.

Your school resource officer

failed to notice that Kelly Wilson,

an intellectually disabled teenager,

was being sexually assaulted by her principal.

She was coerced into bringing the gun to school by a bitter,

manipulative teacher.

That's how you wanna play it?

This isn't a game, Sheriff.

Kelly was a student under Douglas Pinkman's care.

There were many vulnerable young girls

under Douglas Pinkman's care.

Let's keep the focus narrow.

Maybe I should expand my focus.

How would you fellas like Rusty Quinn's daughter

investigating past mistakes

made by the Pikeville Sheriff's Department?

I'm sure the Culpeppers would love to know more

about the circumstances surrounding Daniel's death.

Among other things that happened that night.

Whoa, now. You holster your pistols there, lady.

This is bullshit!

Now let's just roll the dice.

She ain't holding all the cards.

Listen, honey, let's bring things down a notch.

We got to think about what's good for the town.

Now, all this that's happened,

well, it's just a tragedy, ain't it?

There's folks here who loved Pink,

who still love Pink.

And Judith, for all her faults,

well, she just snapped, didn't she?

All this legal rigmarole, that can be worked out.

We need to focus on healing.

My only focus is on Kelly Wilson.

Samantha, I'm gonna tell you something

maybe you forgot while you were away.

Your daddy loved Pikeville.

What would he say

if he saw you talking like this?

My daddy would tell you fellas that you've got two choices.

You can sign off on five years for Kelly Wilson,

or you can shit in both hands and start clapping.

Sam: With good behavior, you could get out

before your baby starts school.

We-- We can't think about it?

We don't want to give Kenny Coin time to change his mind.

It has to be Kelly's decision. We can't make it for her.

Hey.

I done swore,

I'll take care of the baby till you're out.

And your daddy won't have a say in it.

Them Coins will lock him up

now that he ain't no use to 'em.

-Ain't that right? -Yes.

The GBI recovered Ely's revolver from the lake.

As a convicted felon,

he wasn't allowed to own a weapon,

let alone leave it unsecured where Kelly found it.

But I'm the one what took the gun to school.

And Mrs. Pinkman,

she was so torn up about Mr. Pinkman

and what we was doing.

Them ladies over at the jail,

they said it was me drove her crazy.

She oughta not killed herself like that.

She was a good Christian woman.

Kelly, we need to think about you right now.

And your baby.

That's true enough, ma'am,

but it seems like I ought to be punished.

Five years is a long time.

Does it seem fair to you?

Yes, Kelly, this is fair.

[birds chirping]

[creaking]

-Charlie: He couldn't quit me. -Mo' throuples, mo' problems.

Charlie: So, what's up?

I need you to take Barky tomorrow.

Your sister got me some interviews in Atlanta.

I think I'm gonna join big law.

Pay off some loans.

Learn to play golf.

Roughly 600 people

die in golf cart accidents every year.

Out of how many golfers, though?

Well, the golfer-to-death rate is very high.

So that's all I can really tell you.

-It sounds legitimate. -Mm-hm.

How's it going with Sam?

I'm meeting her at the farmhouse later.

-Mm. -She still thinks we can find

that photograph of Gamma.

Your dad was a freakishly good liar.

[laughing] No shit.

I'm sorry that I never...

That...I blamed you...

for not knowing something that I never told you about.

I know.

Your dad told me

that the hardest thing to do in a marriage

is to stop talking and start listening.

Should we take marriage advice from Rusty?

He really...

...really loved your mom.

Are you still my wife?

Yes. Are you still my husband?

Yes.

[tender theme playing]

You want me to stop?

No.

I want you to do that with your mouth.

[romantic theme playing]

[inaudible]

[light theme playing]

Oh, gross. Dad was a total poon hound.

What do you expect? They're love letters.

I can't believe all this stuff was just sitting in a box

in his office the whole time.

[scoffs] Stuff was sitting everywhere the whole time.

I remember when this happened.

I had to bail him out of jail.

-He never paid me back. -Shocking.

Sam: Ah, it's like being inside her head.

Trust me, you do not want to be in Dad's.

Let's see what else he was hoarding.

Sam: Oh, my God, my first place ribbon from the debate club!

Oh, thanks, Dad.

My eighth grade report card. He was supposed to sign it.

I got detention.

Straight A's. "Talks too much."

[chuckles]

Ben's moving to Atlanta.

He asked me to go with him.

That's good, baby. I like Atlanta.

-Enough to come with us. -Enough to come visit.

I'm gonna go back in.

Don't hear from me in half an hour,

-call the fire department. -[Sam chuckles]

Happy things are going so well between you and Ben.

And I'm happy he finger-banged me

on the couch this morning.

-Ugh! -What?

-He has gonorrhea. -Ew!

[laughs]

When you're ready, I want you to tell me more about Anton.

I will.

[light theme playing]

[laughing] Who did this calculus,

an intoxicated toddler?

That should say

the partial of U squared plus V squared over 2...

[sighs] We're never gonna find this photograph of Gamma.

Sammy.

I'm thinking Dad played you.

I mean, you said it before.

He wanted us to find all that Zack Culpepper shit together.

But he went out of his way to describe this photograph.

How beautiful Gamma was.

It was a perfect day.

Charlie: Ben reminded me that Rusty

was a highly accomplished liar.

Tell me again exactly what he said to you at the hospital.

He said that there was a photo of Gamma...

different from this one...

that he took on their first date.

He asked Gamma on a picnic 'cause he didn't have money

to pay for a restaurant.

Foreshadowing.

He said it was a beautiful day

and they talked and laughed

and danced to music on the car radio.

He said he felt like his heart was a kite

and she was reeling it in with a string.

It's called a spindle.

I know what it's called, you walnut.

[Charlie scoffs]

Well, if another photo exists,

he left it out in the open, just like everything else.

We need to stop thinking like he was Sherlock Holmes

when he was barely Inspector Gadget.

Why was this in your purse?

He asked me to bring it to the hospital.

[suspenseful theme playing]

[paper rips]

[Charlie gasps]

Charlie: Oh.

You're the walnut. He turned you into his mule.

I had forgotten how beautiful she was.

They were beautiful together.

Sam: What year was this?

-Are you fucking kidding me? -Uh-- Oh, my God.

-[grunts] -Sam: He did it.

He finally figured out how to use "last word".

Rusty.

[chuckles] Oh, my God.
