Hi, Sawyer.

It's Cindy Mansfield from Landler-Bayne calling.

I just wanted to confirm your interview this week.

- Yes! - We are looking

at a few other candidates.

But as you know we were all very impressed

with the work you did last summer

and we have a great feeling about you.

I've emailed you all the details

so we will see you on Wednesday, 9:30 a.m.

at our offices in D.C.

Safe travels.

State police are on the scene rerouting traffic

to surface streets that's gonna create

a little bit of chaos here

but that's holiday traffic for you.

Yeah, it's a nightmare down there.

Just in time for Thanksgiving weekend, unfortunately.

If you're traveling around that area,

your best bet is to stay as far away

from the highway as possible.

We will keep you informed throughout the day

only on 1270 WLUN, Kentucky.

Okay, would you rather have a room full of pennies

or a stack of pennies as high as the Empire State Building?

Uh, I think I'd take the big stack.

I'd be rich.

Weak.

Rerouting to Washington, D.C.

In 30 miles, turn right.

In 500 feet make a right turn.

Make a right turn.

It's not even a road.

Guess we're taking the next right.

Make the U-turn, if possible.

Give me better directions, if possible.

Make the U-turn, if possible.

Turn left.

Think they seen us?

Okay.

This doesn't make any sense.

Just reroute me.

Yes!

Suck it, phone!

You need some help there, miss?

Oh, no, I'm fine, I'm just stretching my legs.

Yeah, and your map.

Right, I'm just getting my bearings.

Yeah, we seen you up here and thought

maybe you was having some sort of trouble.

Oh, no, I'm just passing through.

You sure you're okay?

You look a little upset.

And these woods, they can be a crazy place

especially if you ain't familiar.

I guess I'm a little frustrated, you know.

These maps aren't super useful.

Ain't that the truth.

So that's it then?

You're just a tourist passing through here?

Yeah?

Well shit, if it's directions

you're looking for, me and Buck,

that's my brother Buck there,

we lived here our whole lives.

So we can get you most anywhere.

Uh, well, um, do you know the best way back to 64?

I-64?

That's quite a ways.

You're lucky you ran into us.

Yeah.

'Cause there ain't but a couple roads run through

these hills and well, you know,

you got yourself turned around on one of them.

All right.

See here?

Right here.

You just keep on this way

and you'll make yourself back to the highway, okay.

But you'll be backtracking quite a bit.

Well, guess I'm taking the scenic route.

Yeah, I guess you are.

All right.

Oh, hey, hey, hey!

Almost forgot, your map.

Oh, thanks.

Say, you won't make it anywhere before sundown

and we live just up a ways.

So how about you come on over for some dinner?

Holli, shouldn't we just...

Oh, he ain't going anywhere.

What do you say?

Thanks, but I really should be getting going, so...

No, oh no that, that might not be the best idea.

I mean, you got lost driving around here

and that was in broad daylight.

And you don't wanna be out here after dark, trust me.

Listen, no offense, but you are starting

to make me feel very uncomfortable right now.

Is that a fact?

Well, listen, we just want you to, uh, be comfortable.

That's all we want.

And it's gonna get real cold out here real quick.

So why don't you just come on back up to our place?

We'll have a drink or two maybe, you know,

smoke a little somethin'?

It'd be like a little party.

Yeah?

Come on, let's all...

Goddamn, bitch cut me!

Yah!

Now hold on a second there, honey.

Fuck off!

Get that knife away from her!

She's gettin' away.

That way, that way.

- You sure? - Yeah, come on.

Okay.

I can figure this out.

Yeah.

Definitely.

Shit!

It's gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Fording County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Katz speaking.

Hold on.

Sheriff, line one.

This is O'Doyle.

Hey, Sheriff.

This is Penny from the Charleston office.

I have a stranded vehicle report

for that two-five-oh county road.

If we could get your registration report

as soon as possible, our office

is gonna be closed due to the holiday.

Penny, could you, uh, could you hold on a minute, honey?

- Mm-hm. - What she want?

Uh, just an abandoned car.

Uh, it got me thinking.

That, uh, hanging fella, the Hispanic.

What's his name?

That's Edward Garro.

Yeah, yeah, that Garro fella.

We should see if he had any vehicles registered in his name.

Check 'em against abandoned vehicle reports.

You think this might be his car?

No, no, timeline's all wrong

but maybe something got picked up last week.

It's a long shot, but, you know, due diligence and all.

I'm on it.

Hello, Penny.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

Uh, so you say it's up on 250, huh?

Hey!

Okay.

Hey, over here!

Help!

Ah.

Ow.

Phew!

Well, dangit!

You're just as quiet as a cottonmouth

when you wanna be, huh?

You here on official business, Sheriff

or this is just a social call?

I ain't here to take a bunch of lip,

you can count on that.

I got a call about an abandoned vehicle

at the bend, down by Rust Creek.

Well, as you can see, we prefer

to abandon our vehicles right here at home.

Well, I just seen you and Buck tramplin' up

from that creek every damn day,

so, uh, when I get a call from the state police...

State?

What do the staties gotta do with it?

Nothing, yet.

If we'd seen something I'd tell you

but the plain fact is we wasn't up there.

Now you can come out here

puffing up your chest all you want,

but it don't change the facts.

Boy, you must think I'm some kinda prize dummy, huh?

Well I got news for you...

Easy, Sheriff!

Jesus!

You a bit, you a bit jumpy, Quickdraw.

You hurt there?

Huntin' accident.

Oh, you're bleeding right there.

You should get that stitched up.

It's just a scratch.

Did you get that scratch up by Rust Creek?

Like I said,

we ain't been up there in days.

All right, well,

I tried.

I tried.

Oh, shit!

Ow.

Good as new.

Everything's fine.

Somebody'll see the car.

They'll find me here.

I'm in the fucking woods.

Woo, holy shit!

That was amazing!

That shit was amazing!

Did you see that fucker fly?

Come on, Buck, let's go check it out!

Holy shit.

Will you look at this?

We bull's-eyed a goddamn oak tree!

They ain't never gonna send nobody

this far off road.

Ah, shit, now all we gotta do is find that bitch.

She was cut pretty deep, Holli.

She ain't gonna last out here too long.

Can't we just go back... - Not if they find a body.

We're gonna have O'Doyle and the staties

up our asses, Buck.

But if they find her, won't they

be all over the place anyway?

No, not all over.

Just around where they find the body.

Get it?

Good, come on, we'll start at the creek

work our way back down the road.

Come on, move your fat ass.

This way. - Let's go.

Come on, now watch your step, Buck.

Oh, my God!

Oh.

Come on.

Ain't even dry.

Come on.

Oh, come on.

Come on.

There.

Mom.

Uh,

if you ever get this somehow, I,

I wanted you to know that

I, I should...

Who are you?

Oh, my God.

What are you doing out here?

God!

Who the fuck are you?

You were supposed to drink that.

Stay the hell away from me.

Put that down.

Put that down.

Take another step and I'll throw this

in your fucking face.

- Careful now, that's lye. - I'm serious, motherfucker!

I'll burn your fucking face off!

What the fuck.

Hey, what was all that about?

Oh, just sheriff stuff.

Did you ask them about that SUV?

Um, I didn't know you were taking on The Big SUV Case.

I'm just curious.

You know, did they have an alibi?

Alibi, for what?

For whatever's going on with that SUV.

Nick, do you have such an abundance of free time

that you need to invent crimes to investigate

just to stave off the boredom?

No, sir, I just...

Because if you do, I would love someone to tackle

The Case of the Moving Violations Paperwork

That's Backed Up Till Early October.

Point taken, Sheriff.

But that SUV thing, I mean, doesn't that seem odd to you?

A vehicle like that, abandoned, in the middle of the day

no driver in sight?

Are you second guessing me, son?

No, sir, but...

Speak plain.

You do have a way of treating the locals

with a certain deference.

Nick,

you're a good deputy.

You're a good man.

I appreciate your commitment.

So I'm just gonna say this one time

and I think it oughta be enough.

Chief.

Indian.

Mind your place.

And, uh, as far as them Pritchards are concerned

I've been arrestin' them boys

since they were in grade school.

And they are trouble, that's for sure

but they ain't got the brains

between the two of 'em to be dangerous.

And moreover, that mysterious SUV

moved along some time yesterday.

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh.

Yeah.

Likely just run out of gas then?

Likely.

Oh.

Okay.

Say, Sheriff, do you have any objection

to me calling the registered owner?

You know, just to put this whole thing to bed?

Uh, if it'll give you some peace of mind, son

go right on ahead.

Great.

Eat this.

Uh-uh, knock it off.

You lost blood.

You need to eat.

I need a hospital and the police.

Eat.

Suit yourself.

What's your name?

I'm Sawyer.

Sawyer Scott. - Shut up and eat.

I go to Centre College, I'm a senior.

I was on my way to DC for this big job interview

and my stupid GPS got me lost.

These two guys jumped me.

I'm sure my friends are worried about me.

And my parents.

Quiet.

If you could just untie me and take me to the police,

you'd be a hero. - Shh.

I wouldn't even mention the...

This.

Might even be a reward.

Somebody help me!

If they find you here they'll kill you.

Keep quiet, or I can't help you.

There he is.

Serious as ever.

Hello, cuz.

Hollister.

Buck.

What happened here?

Aw, just some horseplay, you know.

Sorry we ain't been up to visit more.

Things just been kinda crazy lately.

- Okay. - No, no, it ain't.

We're family, no excuse.

You know?

So, how'd the last batch go?

No problems.

And the yield was what we thought it would be?

More or less.

So we should be on target

and all set for Saturday?

Uh-huh.

You know, gettin' low on sudo and some other stuff.

We're all set with that.

We'll be back up tomorrow

with a little more sudo, ammonia, matches, whatever.

Oh, I'm good on ammonia but I'm gonna need more lye.

You burned through that shit pretty fast, didn't you?

Well, hell, what Lowell wants, Lowell gets.

Ask him about the girl, Holli.

Oh, yeah, about that.

Seems some girl went missing up here a couple days ago

and Sheriff O'Doyle, he nearly crawled up

our asses about it.

I don't suppose you seen anything?

I ain't seen no girl.

Okay, do you mind if we take a look around?

- Free country. - Yeah, it is at that.

Nothin'.

What's eatin' you?

Tell me, cousin,

how many times me and Buck been up here

since we got this trailer set up?

Dozen or so.

And every time we do,

uh, I mean hell, even Buck could tell you.

What's the first thing that we do?

Go in and have a beer.

Right.

Right.

But today when we come up here

and you step outside to meet us

and stand there the whole time

in the middle of the fucking rain

like you're some kinda goddamn guard dog.

You got something to say?

I think I'm saying it.

We tracked that girl up here yesterday.

Trail went cold not 100 yards away.

You found yourself some fun, didn't you?

Didn't you, huh?

I had a accident with the lye is all.

Place is full of fumes.

Lowell.

It hurts my feelings when you treat me

like I'm some kind of goddamn idiot.

Now, how about we go on inside and have a look.

She ain't in there.

You shouldn't be here.

You're hurting me!

Better me than them.

Next time I tell you to stay put

you stay put!

Suicide?

Yeah.

So you think it's just coincidence

that this Hispanic fella from out of town

offed himself right when we got Mexican drugs

flooding the state?

I, I couldn't say.

But in Fording County

suicide seems to make a lot more sense

than some cartel gang thing.

Maybe.

But it doesn't sound right to me.

So we're gonna wait on the coroner.

Now also, Penny from Dispatch wanted me

to follow up on an abandoned vehicle.

Oh, that wasn't nothin'.

Moved on the same day.

Oh, well, uh.

Well, you got something to add, deputy?

Uh.

Go on, Katz.

That vehicle was registered to a couple over in Paducah

but they gave it to their daughter.

Now, she's over in...

Why don't you just get to the part

where you tell us the bad news.

The driver's name is, uh, Sawyer Scott

and apparently nobody seems to know where she's at.

- She's missing? - Well, her roommate said

that she was going home for Thanksgiving,

but her folks said that she was staying on campus.

When's the last time she was seen?

Monday morning.

Monday morning?

I just got off the phone with the mother

and she said that the girl's not answering her phone.

Look, Douglas, before you send out your storm troopers,

start trampling down people's flower beds,

and kicking down their doors,

let's just make sure she's not passed out

in Virginia Beach somewhere.

Jesus Christ, O'Doyle.

You think I enjoy doing your job for you?

I'm not about to send my men traipsing through the woods

on Thanksgiving if I don't have to.

But you better get a line on this girl soon

or you're gonna have state police choppers

blocking out the sun down here.

Deputy.

Sir.

Sorry, Sheriff, I... - Save it.

We got a picture of this missing girl?

Pretty clever how you burnt through them ropes.

What is that stuff?

Lye.

Is that some kind of acid?

Base.

Hmm, burns like acid.

Bases burn too.

And the milk, that neutralized it?

Milk ain't acid enough to neutralize lye.

You'd need something like,

like vinegar to neutralize lye.

So why don't you have some vinegar handy?

You know what happens when you mix an acid with a base?

Neutralizes it?

Yeah, with so much heat

it'd burn you worse than the lye did.

Thought you were a college girl.

I'm not a chemistry major.

Well, that's why milk's better.

Less reaction.

Still burned quite a bit, thank you.

Why do you know so much about this stuff?

I've been cooking meth since I was 14 years old.

You learn real quick what all can burn you.

You know,

if you let me go

I won't tell them anything.

You say you're trying to help me,

but you're holding me here.

Can't do it.

I promise I won't tell anyone anything.

If you just let me go.

We're five miles from the nearest road.

20 from any kind of town.

I got no car.

You wouldn't make it a 100 yards the shape you're in.

And even if you did, the first person you met

would like as not hand you right over to Hollister.

Bullshit.

You just wanna keep me here.

Quit it.

You can't keep me here forever!

I said quit it.

You wanna try your luck out in them woods, go on.

Hollister and Buck are going into Charleston this weekend.

They'll leave their truck at their mama's house.

I'll go down on Saturday and I'll borrow it.

And then I'll take you someplace safe.

Out of Fording County.

Might need some help with this one, heavy as a mother.

Jesus Christ!

O'Doyle?

I got some plain questions for you

and I want some plain answers.

- Is this about that car? - To hell with the car.

Now I got the state police asking about a missing girl!

We did what you told us, Sheriff.

Son, if you'd done what I told you

they would've found that girl's body

somewhere down in Jonesboro County by now.

I still don't know what the hell

you dimwits were thinking.

I told you, okay, she come up on us

when we was burying that bag of shit.

And we thought she seen somethin'!

Well, she's seen something now.

At this point, don't it figure

she already out there in them woods froze to death?

It don't matter if she's out there dead in a gully

or singin' on Bandstand.

Without a body, these woods

is gonna be crawling with state police.

Well, she ain't been found, okay?

So she's likely dead.

And the birds will be at her by now.

She'll be easier to spot.

We'll go out again tomorrow

after we run this stuff up to Lowell.

How's your cousin doing?

Weird, like, I don't even know him.

What I meant was, are we still on schedule?

Hell, you know that ol' boy don't do nothin' but cook.

Big batch here, but we'll be right by Saturday.

We better be.

Breakfast is peaches or bologna.

What are you doing?

Cuttin' matchbooks.

What for?

To cook meth.

I thought meth was made from, like

ephedrine and Drano.

And matchbooks.

Why are you making meth?

Isn't everyone doing heroin now?

I read.

Can't cook heroin.

How many of them do you need?

Lots.

And what do you do when you have them all cut up?

Mix that shit in.

What's that shit?

Why do you ask so many damn questions?

Never mind.

Just thought I might learn something.

So,

you don't really know what you're doing.

You're like one of those European pop bands

that sing in English but don't actually know

what any of the lyrics mean.

You sure ride high

for a girl who jammed her wet hands

in a bucketful of lye yesterday.

I wasn't being condescending, I'm just saying.

You know, it's amazing they got you doing

all this complex chemistry

and you don't even have to understand it.

That ain't condescending?

So,

I've been thinking about your plan to borrow your truck.

I just don't know I should stay up here for that long.

I mean, it's okay for a backup plan

but, you know, if you can get me to a phone, then...

Bad idea.

If I'm here when those guys come back...

It's safer to keep you here than to try and move you.

I'm not really a sit and wait type.

You don't say.

Listen, I just think I can come up

with a more proactive way... - Hey, would you hand me

that pitcher right there?

Why is it so cold?

Just pour it in here.

Real slow.

It's cold 'cause the acetone inside, it's evaporating.

Sucking away the energy from what all it's touchin'.

Mix that with the matchbooks,

separate the red phosphorous.

Then I'm gonna mix that with iodine

to get hydroiodic acid, which I need to cook meth.

So you do all that for just one ingredient?

That's the job.

Like a bunch of little science projects?

Combine this ingredient, separate that one.

Yeah, and just about every one of them will kill you.

Every one of 'em is either corrosive, flammable, both.

Methanol, acetone, glycol, butane.

You thought that lye was tough?

We used to cook with this.

Anhydrous ammonia.

In here it's just a liquid

that'll burn your skin right off.

Room temp, it turns into poison gas.

One spark.

Hollister will be here soon.

- Oh, Buck. - Lowell.

Low-ell.

Low-ell, Low-ell.

L-o-l.

L-O-L, you get it?

Hey, l-o-l!

Where you at? - Come on.

- Hey. - Just put that down there.

what's cooking, Lowell?

Try not to breathe.

Shouldn't we get masks?

But I just got the one.

Best unload quick.

Jesus Christ.

Thought you were gonna wait

around back of the trailer.

What if Hollister had come down here?

Or Buck?

What if they'd come behind the trailer?

Well, I could have kept 'em from there.

You gotta learn to sit still.

So,

that road I came from is that way?

And that little town is that way?

Yeah, that's Boone.

But the nearest road is Bishop that way, to the east.

You fixing to make a break for it?

Your call.

But if you're just restless, I can put you to work.

I know, I know, I'm sorry.

I know what I said but baby, this girl is still out there

and her mama's been callin', just worried sick.

We'll have plenty of other Thanksgivings

but this girl won't if we don't find her soon.

Nick!

Yes, Sheriff?

What are you still doing here?

It's almost dinnertime.

Well, I was just, it's okay, I'm just...

No, no, the hell it is!

It's your first Thanksgiving together.

You go home have dinner with your wife.

- But if I don't finish... - That's an order, deputy.

I think I can muddle through without you for an hour or two.

Bring me back a plate.

Go, go, go go! - Okay, okay.

Thank you, Sheriff.

Uh, babe, Sheriff's sending me home for dinner.

Just, uh, give me, give me 20.

You gotta speak up a bit.

Yeah, I'm getting in my cruiser right now.

Whipped cream?

No, baby, no stores are gonna be open

around here on Thanksgiving.

Well, who says you need whipped cream with pumpkin pie?

No, I ain't driving all the...

Oh, wait, hang on, babe.

I think I got some cream in the office.

I said I think I got some...

Jenna, my phone's about to die.

I'll be home soon.

I love you too.

I'm so tired of excuses, Hollister.

You come up with that fucking girl's body, all right,

or so, listen, this is my goddamn retirement

and if you screw it up, believe me,

you will not live long enough to regret it.

Hey, Nick.

Uh,

look, I can understand.

Just, you know, hearing maybe half of that conversation

it could be misconstrued.

Right.

Come on, really?

Nick, look.

Well, let's just sit down and talk about this.

I can hear you just fine from over here, Sheriff.

You're not even gonna give me a chance to explain?

I mean, I...

Easy now.

You'll have your chance to explain.

But right now I'm walking out of here

and you're not stoppin' me.

It don't have to be like this, Nick.

I'm sorry, Sheriff.

But whatever you're into

you're gonna have to answer for it.

Would you rather have a room full of pennies

or a stack of pennies as tall

as the Empire State Building?

Never mind.

I'd rather have the stack.

What?

I'd rather have the stack of pennies.

Real tall.

But a stack isn't as many.

The Empire State Building's like a 100 stories high.

More than that can fit in a closet.

If I had a stack of pennies tall as that

it'd be the most incredible thing you ever saw.

Right here, in the middle of the Blue Ridge

pennies to the sky..

People'd come from miles.

Hey, what day is it?

Thursday.

Thanksgiving.

I guess you'd be with your folks, huh?

Actually, I was ditchin' them this year

for a stupid job interview.

I know.

And the worst part is I didn't even tell 'em why.

I was too embarrassed in case I didn't get the job.

All this scrambling around,

all my plans.

What does is matter now?

My wife used to say,

"Man plans, God laughs."

Yeah.

Sounds like something my mom would say.

Always talking about God's plan.

Sure don't seem like much of one.

Sure don't.

Bury him deep.

Don't just run him out past that Sycamore Line

and kick some dirt on him, you got it?

What about the girl?

You still got her wallet?

Mm-hm.

All right, I got an idea

how to keep the staties off our ass,

for the weekend at least.

But we still gotta find her.

Do not talk like that, okay?

Don't worry about it.

I'm gonna get to the bottom of this, okay?

I'm sure that, uh, Nick is fine.

I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Hold on, I just, I'm in the middle of something, all right?

Uh, Jenna, uh..

I'm gonna go right now and take care of this.

I will call you soon as I know somethin'.

I promise, okay.

Bye.

Jesus Christ, I do not have time

for your foolishness this morning, Douglas.

My deputy is MIA.

His wife's been calling me non-stop all night.

Between her and Sawyer Scott's mother

I cannot go five minutes without an hysterical phone call.

- He been gone long? - He, uh,

he left here yesterday afternoon, nobody's seen him since.

I mean, I'm concerned.

Well, good news is I'm here to lighten your workload.

I'm taking over on that missing girl.

Now, my team's heading up here now

to do a proper search of those woods

up by Rust Creek all the way through to Blackridge.

Okay, well, it's no secret I don't like that

but, uh, I guess it's for the best.

Mm-hm.

Got my own missing person to deal with now.

Okay, well, uh, you just give me a minute

I'll head out with you, I'll debrief your men,

and I'll catch 'em up on what we know.

Look, that ain't gonna be necessary, they got the report.

I got the girl's parents comin' over from Paducah.

It's fine, it'll just be a minute.

Just gonna check Nick's locker here.

See if he took his civvies with him

or if he's still in uniform.

Really, O'Doyle, we can handle it, all right?

I appreciate the offer.

Oh.

What the hell?

Oh, my.

Well, I'll be goddamned.

Though we have not yet determined

the nature of the relationship

we do believe that Deputy Katz is involved

in Scott's disappearance.

His cruiser was found this morning in Jonesboro County

so it's a good bet he's fleeing the state.

So we're going to extend our search west

until we find this man.

Now what?

That's it.

In 20 minutes, you'll be an official cook.

That ain't so hard.

Ah!

You think you can sit still 20 minutes?

I don't know.

You know, I think I might be starting

to get used to the quiet country life.

Inside.

Stay by the back door.

And if there's trouble, run.

Hey there, son.

How's the cook?

Fine.

Hm.

Well, I just thought I'd come up here to check on ya.

And you done it.

That's close enough.

What, you're giving orders now, is that it?

I just don't like nobody disturbing my cook's all.

Huh.

Well,

let me tell you somethin'.

I got a lot invested in this here.

And, uh, if I wanna go inside and take a look

what y'all up to, I'm gonna do that.

You ain't.

You forget who you're talking to?

I'm the chief.

You're the Indian.

My kitchen.

My rules.

You know, you ain't the only cook around here.

So why don't you just set that gun down and make nice?

Don't kid yourself, boy.

I could put two in you before you could even

get them barrels up above your waist.

Lucky for me you're standing next to a drum full of ether.

Too dangerous to keep inside.

One spark from, say, some buckshot hitting the metal.

Hm.

Wow.

A Pritchard with some brains.

Lord help us all.

All right, well.

You just mind you get this cook done right.

Next time I come up here

I'll know where I stand.

Was that your boss?

He sounds like an asshole.

He's the worst kind of snake there is.

Don't rattle before he bite.

Doesn't look like much.

It'll do.

How much more do we need?

Nine, 10 more cooks.

That's gonna take all day.

Best get to it then.

If you get asked, just remember.

Escorting a prisoner for an interview, I got it.

Suspect.

Escorting a suspect for interview.

And don't forget to shave.

And keep him in the back seat.

How come I gotta sit in back?

On account of when'd you ever see someone

that wasn't police riding in the front of a police car?

You ain't police.

That's why he's got the uniform.

Dangit!

Now just remember, don't give 'em anything

until you get the money.

I won't.

You count out all that money, all right?

Don't get lazy and let 'em short you.

Why don't you just come do the thing yourself

if you're so damn nervous then, huh?

'Cause that's what I got you for.

So don't screw it up, all right?

We got one chance to show these boys

we can compete with them Mexicans.

Lowell cooks glass twice as good as any Mexican.

Yeah, well that's the only reason he ain't in the ground.

You know, he pulled a shotgun on me today?

It's still burnin' me up.

Yeah, he's been real touchy lately.

Don't even invite us in for a drink no more.

Huh.

All right, well, let's do this.

All right.

I'ma go inside and change.

I'ma go sit in the back.

Not very green.

Well, if you dump it on the land,

it stains the ground red.

Like having a big meth lab sign in your front yard.

The creek washes it clear away.

By tomorrow, you'd never know it was here.

So that's it, huh, all done?

Yeah.

I thought you'd be relieved.

I am.

So once you got me out of your hair, then what?

I've been thinking about what your mama said.

And about how cuttin' up matchbooks is part of making meth.

You doing a lot of thinking.

I guess so.

I got this idea they're kinda connected, you know?

I don't got it figured out in my head yet, but

it's like,

like, in our life, everyone we meet's a chemical reaction.

They change us and we change them.

'Cause we changed, we can go on

and have different reactions with other people.

And we don't always know how it'll end up.

We don't...

Like the matchbooks,

they don't know how they gonna end up.

But just 'cause we can't see a plan

that don't mean there ain't one.

Anyway, it made me feel a little better about things,

thinking it all fit together somehow.

Cousin.

It's nice to see you too.

Hi, l-o-l.

Hey, see, hey, hey!

Ain't you gonna say nothin' about my duds, huh?

Nice duds.

We'll be back tomorrow with your cut.

You're welcome.

So that's it?

All clear?

Well, we should probably lay low for a little bit.

I'll go pick up the truck around noon

and drop you off with the state police.

What'll I tell them?

Tell 'em the truth.

I'll be cleared out of here by dark.

You're leavin'?

It's time.

You can only sit still so long.

Besides,

there's too many ghosts in these woods.

I guess I can give this back now.

Keep it.

A conversation piece,

for all the friends you're gonna make in DC.

Yeah, I'm not so sure that they're gonna...

You old dog.

This explains everything!

Well, you could've just told me.

He didn't want to share.

And he shouldn't have to.

So what if we seen her first?

That don't mean nothin' to me

when it comes to Cousin Lowell's happiness.

Now, now, now, now.

Now you just, you just hold on there, Lowell.

You've proven to be pretty untrustworthy lately

and I don't think we can leave it up to you

to do the right thing here.

So this little lady

is just gonna have to come with us now.

Take a seat, Holli.

We ain't got time to be havin' this conversation, Lowell.

Make time.

Won't take long.

Sawyer, honey,

you mind heating me up a cup of that coffee?

It's okay.

Just fetch the coffee.

I swear I should've known.

We been all through these goddamn woods.

Here's the thing

I know what has to get done.

And I'll take care of it

in my time.

But for now, would you just let me have some fun?

I mean, you see how trained I got her, don't you?

That's it, baby.

Now get over here and sit on my knee.

Goddamn!

You sure do got some things to teach me, boy.

And the thing is, if it was up to me...

- Holli! - Hang on, Buck.

I think there's something wrong.

Just hang on a second,

the thing is though it ain't just up to me.

But, Holli, the microwave.

Come on!

Please!

I can't.

You remember Bishop's Road?

I can't.

You're gonna be okay.

Run!

Easy now.

Easy now.

Don't do nothin' stupid.

You's about all the stupid this family needs.

Why'd you go and do all this?

For some girl?

What does it matter?

It's done.

Sheriff.

Jesus!

That fucking Lowell.

She was here the whole goddamn time.

- Is the meth. - The cruiser, down the way.

Oh, thank God.

That girl run off though, O'Doyle.

Through them woods headed toward Bishop's Road.

I'ma go after her.

You circle around the road. - Okay.

And I'll flush her out to you.

Yeah, yeah, that's, uh, good thinkin' there.

Don't forget your gun there.

Right.

Go on, pick it up.

Come on, boy.

O'Doyle.

Ah, you can't.

We're partners.

Go ahead.

I won't.

I won't, I won't do it.

You can't shoot me if I ain't armed.

You think I'm concerned with the forensics

on a known felon shot outside a burning meth house?

Son, I just wanted you to feel

like you had a fighting chance.

You didn't.

So you're saying

this Lowell Pritchard guy

was holding you?

No, not holding me, hiding me.

Oh, okay, from, uh,

from these other fellas that was after you?

Why aren't you calling this in?

He could still be alive.

Hold on now there, miss.

No sense in callin' anything in till I get all the facts.

So these other fellas, uh,

was it just the two of them?

Hmm, Buck and Hollister.

They all work for somebody else but I never saw him.

Shouldn't you at least call an ambulance

or back-up or somethin'?

Well, now, here's the deal,

you're just gonna have to trust my way

of doin' things, 'cause around here,

well, I'm the chief,

you're the Indian.

So this third guy, you never saw him?

Did you get a name?

No.

A voice?

Um, what?

A voice?

Did you hear him?

What his voice sound like?

Oh.

I don't know, just,

just normal, just a normal voice.

Hmm.

So you wouldn't recognize him if you heard him again?

No.

I definitely wouldn't, no.

I think we're gonna walk the rest of the way.

Come on now.

Just go on down a little further there,

down by the water.

They call this Rust Creek

because of all the clay deposits up the hill

turned the water red.

Yeah, they mined up all the clay before I was born.

That name stuck though.

Just go on now.

Okay.

You don't have to do this.

Hm.

In the water.
