1:26

You really think there's bodies

1:28

under the biomarkers?

1:29

don't know. Fuck. I almost

1:31

hope not. That would make this whole mountain

1:33

like

1:33

Great yard.

1:37

What about my mile marker? I'm not

1:40

buried under it.

1:41

I found a Wendy'smile

1:43

marker while she was still alive. I'm wondering

1:47

if she's there now. Jimmy

1:49

owes us some answers.

1:51

You think you'll actually tell us? If it doesn't

1:53

help us kill grandma, my buddy's pretty tight with.

1:56

I

1:58

don't know, Kaye.

1:59

Jimmy loves hearing himself talk,

2:02

and we're killing man for. He better

2:04

fucking tell us what we wanna know.

2:07

kmber. Your hands are still shaking.

2:09

Faking.

2:11

Nerves are cold. I

2:12

don't I'm not sure. You gotta

2:15

call and wanna get back

2:15

to the car. I can. to barely

2:17

get service on this mountain. You? I'm

2:20

lucky

2:20

I get service in town. How do

2:22

drug dealers run a business with these shitty phones?

2:24

It's it's a service based industry, isn't it?

2:31

Sam, what's wrong?

2:37

Fuck.

2:39

What?

2:41

We just

2:42

lost our insurance. What

2:44

do you mean? We can't live stream

2:46

up there if we can't get service.

2:48

Fuck. So if nothing to

2:50

throw in Jimmy with after we kill Graham.

2:53

We really need to find those files

2:55

k. That's a doomsday scenario

2:57

for Jimmy. We'll be the last of his worries.

3:00

Okay. We need to talk to Eric to see

3:03

if he found anything. Then we should

3:05

go to grams since that's the only

3:07

guess we have right now.

3:13

Come on. Car's not far.

3:26

I'm turning

3:27

up the heat. It's so freaking cold.

3:39

Jay, we need to move up our timeline.

3:42

The feeling grand isn't going away much longer.

3:44

And once shit hits the fan, it's gonna go fast.

3:46

Oh, better hope

3:48

Eric has something. Oh, shit.

3:50

We need to get you trained. Okay.

3:53

After we break into grams tomorrow, we should head

3:55

into the woods for

3:55

target practice. I have to find

3:57

out work around is gonna be tomorrow first.

3:59

As soon as my phone has service, let me

4:02

know.

4:03

Oh, but don't forget you need to call Leah too.

4:06

And at some point, we're gonna have to ask

4:08

Jimmy where Barraska is if we can't find it

4:10

ourselves. One

4:12

thing at a time, Kay. Are

4:13

you

4:17

seeing these clouds?

4:22

shit.

4:22

That's gonna be a big one.

4:24

But what's the road? Sorry.

4:29

If there's a storm

4:30

coming in, we've got a problem. They'll

4:32

keep this road plowed though. Right? Storm's up

4:34

in

4:34

every winter here. They haven't

4:37

just been leaving all their

4:38

merchandise up there to die, have they?

4:41

That would be bad for their bottom line.

4:44

Whatever road leads to Nebraska. It'll

4:47

be out.

4:54

Am I getting service yet? We're almost

4:56

back to the highway. Just

4:59

now.

4:59

How

5:01

much are you gonna tell him about the treehouse assume.

5:03

I'm sure he already knows

5:06

about it. Their family. The prescots are

5:08

protective over family. And once they

5:10

claim anyway,

5:11

I'm gonna

5:13

tell them we found it and ask what the fuck it

5:15

is. If their bodies under those markers,

5:17

that's physical evidence and we need to know about

5:19

it. So, Jimmy,

5:21

is useful. Right? Yes.

5:24

Like you said, he's a useful idiot.

5:27

Why?

5:29

I just realized.

5:31

After Jimmy Taze during the hotel room, he was talking

5:33

about his aversion to running Nebraska, managing

5:35

the operation. Yeah.

5:38

I know. You told me. He said

5:40

he hated the paperwork. He

5:42

was talking about the records. How

5:44

do it better? So Eric was

5:47

right. They do exist somewhere, probably

5:49

in risky. I highly suspect that

5:51

they did. Jimmy will never tell us where they are

5:53

though. No. Of course, not,

5:55

but other people have to know. Not other

5:57

people that will tell us.

5:58

I could try and

5:59

beat it out

5:59

of Mike. Mhmm. He'll

6:00

never say anything. Mike just

6:02

his sadness when

6:03

he became one of them. Yeah. You're right.

6:05

He won't tell us shit. Those records

6:08

implicate everybody. That's why

6:10

they're so important. We have to

6:11

find them saying If it wasn't

6:13

for Kyle, that would be our number

6:14

one goal. Killan Graham is still pretty high

6:17

on my list with or without Jimmy's deal.

6:19

Call him. I'll dial here.

6:27

Hey there. You've reached Jimmy

6:29

Prescott. I am screening my

6:31

call, so leave me a message if you're a selling

6:33

client. If you're a woman, an

6:36

eight or higher. Just come straight on

6:38

down the Woodmere. You know the

6:40

address. Biggest house in cashmere

6:42

heels. And bring a friend.

6:45

a hot one.

6:48

Yuck. You heard that?

6:52

I can never unhear that.

6:56

What time is it? About

6:58

eight. We should

6:59

probably call Eric before it gets too late.

7:01

He's a night hour. He'll be awake

7:03

for hours, plus he tends to get obsessed when he's

7:05

looking for something. He's worried

7:07

about you. Why? Eric

7:10

got exactly what he wanted. I'm off the

7:12

edge. I think he's just nervous

7:14

about how you're handling it and everything

7:16

else going on. you know he

7:18

gives the shit sound.

7:20

I

7:22

know that.

7:25

Shit. He's calling back.

7:30

Yeah.

7:30

Sorry about that.

7:32

What was the friendly company?

7:35

Right. you're calling

7:36

for a reason because I've been sitting

7:39

across the table from your daddy all night.

7:41

Not only is he breathing, he's

7:43

taking my money,

7:44

Assassination takes time motherfucker.

7:48

I called because we need you to answer

7:50

some questions. No doubt.

7:52

that you do. Heard

7:55

you were somewhere you shouldn't have been tonight.

7:57

Right. Where

7:59

would

7:59

that be?

8:01

they know kids. They

8:03

know every time you're in those mountains. Your

8:07

daddy doesn't know what you're doing here.

8:09

But since you came with the Di Saro girl,

8:12

he suspects you wanna kill him.

8:15

He just doesn't think you have it in

8:17

you to do it.

8:17

Won't he be surprised?

8:19

Don't get fucking cocky. Graham

8:22

is where he is for a reason. He

8:24

ain't stupid, and he's already

8:26

likely to be three steps ahead of you.

8:28

Remember, I'm your racing the home.

8:31

So can we swing? Oh,

8:32

yeah. We found your missing uncles,

8:35

Jimmy.

8:37

Somebody went to a lot of trouble to

8:40

entomb them in a creepy fucking

8:42

treehouse.

8:44

That's a long way from perez again.

8:48

And you're one mission. Yeah.

8:51

Well, I wanna know about it.

8:53

you only answers. I don't know you

8:56

shit, Walker. I

8:58

think you do. Our deal

9:00

isn't exactly fair, isn't? We

9:02

get a guy whose brain dead and you get an entire

9:05

empire quid pro

9:07

quo. Right? So satisfying

9:09

curiosity. What do you know about

9:11

the tomb? What

9:12

did you do with the

9:15

boys?

9:15

Nothing. They're still lying in that

9:18

room. How long have they been there? Decades?

9:20

What the

9:22

fuck, Jimmy? If the bodies

9:24

were found, why the hell was the mine

9:26

imploded sixty years ago? weren't

9:30

found until after that. Bullshit.

9:32

The mine was collapsed. How did they

9:34

find them? They weren't found in the mine.

9:35

Jackass. They were found

9:37

in the treehouse years later.

9:40

Nobody knew about that treehouse that built

9:42

it by themselves. It was

9:43

their secret. So then

9:45

who killed them? Thank you.

9:47

said, nobody

9:48

killed them. They were beat up

9:51

from the mines. Look like

9:53

they all fell from quite a day. instance.

9:55

But in

9:55

the end, it was the elements

9:57

that did them in.

9:59

Probably come make it any fruit in that tree

10:01

house.

10:02

So why leave them there? by

10:04

the

10:04

time they were discovered the stables

10:07

were in full swing. So

10:09

this is

10:10

called a tradition.

10:14

So that makes

10:14

the two my mile markers in. Doesn't it?

10:19

It's just

10:19

a burial side kid like

10:22

the others.

10:24

Are you

10:24

saying all mile markers are burial sites?

10:27

Why are

10:28

you asking that? Who

10:31

cares? Maybe put your

10:33

energy into fulfilling your

10:35

side of our bargain instead. What's

10:39

all up on that? I've

10:41

told you when he's at Barresca, and

10:43

you gotta do it there. It has

10:45

to be there. because we're gonna need privacy

10:47

for the hostile takeover. And

10:50

if you don't move on him

10:52

soon, he's going to move on

10:54

you. Why

10:56

hasn't he yet? I'm

10:58

guessing he's

11:00

curious just to what your plan

11:02

is.

11:03

Now, when you're ready

11:05

to go, call me.

11:07

I'll tell you exactly where Burresk

11:09

is at. He's gonna be up there tomorrow

11:11

again, by the way.

11:13

you ready to pull that trigger?

11:16

Believe me. I

11:18

am more than ready.

11:21

Why do you need the shiny gentleman at all if

11:23

you just bury the bodies in the ground?

11:28

shotted

11:31

gentleman don't grow in bones again.

11:34

Besides,

11:34

it's only

11:35

decent to focus get the heads

11:38

down. You're

11:38

fucking sick. And

11:41

you're running out of time.

11:42

Get it done. Oh,

11:45

and one more thing. Kimber's

11:48

mile marker is still out there on that

11:50

mountain for a reason. Keep

11:52

that in mind.

11:58

Well, that's

12:00

Wow.

12:02

trisking is like a fucked up fun house

12:05

in hell. Every mirror is a

12:07

portal to another nightmare, and I'm

12:09

in every one of them. Come

12:11

on. Let's just let's eat

12:13

our breakfast sandwiches and go to bed. I

12:16

gotta call Eric first.

12:19

Let's do

12:19

inside. You need another ibuprofen?

12:22

We're

12:23

out. I got more

12:24

when I went to buy your soup. Then

12:27

yeah. Thanks for

12:29

your cake. the

12:34

You're

12:35

checking with Eric. I'll make the sandwiches. No.

12:43

know I

12:45

was gonna call you in the morning, but I'm glad I got

12:47

you now. Did you find something?

12:49

some I found four

12:51

percent of something. As I

12:54

made.

12:54

Kim Protection has been named one of the

12:56

cops, young guy, computer veteran.

12:58

Mike Sutton.

12:59

Hey, that's him. He fell for a fishing

13:02

email and I was able to get into his Instagram

13:04

messages. What did you

13:05

find? He tracks

13:07

a lot to girls online. This

13:09

is the worst thing about getting laid is the

13:11

paperwork, which

13:12

is Fucking gross.

13:15

Yeah. That's for sure. and

13:18

illuminating. So we

13:20

started digging, got into his desktop

13:21

file remotely. Eric, get to

13:24

the point. Damn.

13:26

Not even gonna let me get through the build out

13:28

part. Eric? They're

13:30

using

13:30

an offline hard drive, only

13:33

accessible through a VPN. Can

13:35

you

13:35

find it? Copy it? Not even

13:37

I can do that. We need

13:38

to have the physical hard drive. When you

13:40

find it, you need to pull the whole thing and bring it

13:43

to me.

13:44

then I can work on decrypting it.

13:47

Right. Well,

13:50

we're still not closer on that.

13:53

No. Maybe we and from a psychological

13:55

angle. Where would

13:57

grandma and Jimmy keep it?

13:59

Try

13:59

to think like that. It's easy to

14:02

get in the gym. He said he's a simple

14:04

fucking guy. He would keep them in his house

14:06

on paper and he wouldn't bother to keep it

14:08

updated for shit. Doctor

14:10

Dad? I don't

14:12

know. I'm gonna break into his house

14:14

tomorrow, though. It could be there. He knows

14:16

tech. What

14:17

do he? What do

14:18

you know about him? not that

14:20

much anymore, other than

14:22

he likes to play messed up psychological games.

14:26

Interesting.

14:29

Oh,

14:30

nice. You

14:31

eat and say which is. Yeah.

14:33

Hey, listen, I gotta go. Let me know if you learned

14:36

anything else. Thank

14:38

you. No problem,

14:39

and I will. See

14:41

you later. Oh,

14:43

tell Kim raise it up.

14:45

Did you hang up on it? It's

14:47

only a

14:48

little. Root.

14:50

So it sounds like grams

14:52

tomorrow

14:52

is still our best option. Yeah.

14:55

It is. We should

14:57

even get some sleep.

15:04

That night, the nightmares came back

15:06

more vivid than ever.

15:09

watched her win this body be said into the shiny gentleman

15:13

while she was still alive, screaming.

15:16

I fought against the roots of the

15:19

triple tree, which held me down as

15:21

Graham hold Kimber away of the mountain

15:23

laughing. I

15:26

relived that horrible twenty minutes of

15:28

Nebraska as a kid over

15:30

and over. And

15:32

when I woke the next morning, I was on

15:34

the edge and anxious, making

15:37

decisions I should have made with cooler

15:39

head. I decided I would

15:41

stick the plan, but I

15:42

wouldn't let history repeat itself.

15:48

That's

15:51

right, Amanda, folks in Southeast Missouri

15:54

are waking up to about seven inches of

15:56

snow, higher in some of the mountain country. If you can

15:58

stay home today, we highly recommend doing

15:59

so. And let's all be thankful

16:01

that schools are out for the end of the break.

16:05

Cars

16:07

barriers. We

16:09

can scrape that off. Okay.

16:11

But can we get out? They didn't plow the

16:13

backlog. I've gotten that

16:15

a worse.

16:22

Not

16:29

gonna

16:29

be of people out and about today? It's

16:31

a good day for Grom's. You

16:34

think they'll be able to get up to Nebraska

16:36

today? A lot of so far overnight?

16:38

The

16:38

access road will be plowed. I'm gonna

16:40

head to Graham's house in a minute and check out his

16:43

office. If I see a hard drive, I'm

16:45

not stopping to check and I'm just taking

16:47

it. we are headed to grams, and we should

16:49

take any paper files to anything we

16:51

can find. We just have to be careful.

16:53

Make sure it takes gram as long as possible to

16:55

realize we've broken to his house. There's

16:57

no weave for this one k.

17:00

What are you talking about? The tell there's

17:02

not. Look,

17:04

miss.

17:05

just need to go along.

17:07

Alright?

17:07

No. It's really not. Alright. Shouldn't we

17:10

stick together? I can't

17:12

take you back there, Kaye. I just can't. But

17:14

why? Because that house is full of ghosts. then why

17:16

face them alone? Let me handle them

17:18

with you like I've been doing this whole

17:20

time.

17:20

This is different. How is

17:23

this different?

17:25

How, Sam? Because the

17:27

year goes to Kimmer.

17:31

I'm

17:31

not afraid of

17:33

grandma. How many times do I have to tell you that? I know you're not.

17:35

And he's not even going

17:37

to be there. If Jimmy can be trusted.

17:39

And how we're planning to

17:41

kill Graham. I know that, but I

17:44

don't wanna risk it, and I really don't

17:46

want anything about him

17:48

to touch ever again. Not

17:50

even me. You're already ahead of me on that

17:52

one. But it's

17:52

not just you. I hate when anybody touches

17:55

me. And I might, for the rest of my

17:57

life, believe me, I

17:59

know in my head

17:59

and especially my heart that you

18:02

and Graham have nothing to do with each

18:04

other.

18:06

Except

18:06

that we do. It's

18:08

just blood, Sam. Family

18:10

means nothing.

18:13

Or do you

18:13

forget who my father is?

18:15

You never

18:16

loved Cleary.

18:18

I loved my dad. I loved him.

18:20

I was blind to his nature, even Kyle

18:23

saw it. Look, I just need to do this myself. I'll be

18:25

back in under an hour. Do

18:27

you even have a

18:27

plan to get in? Because I have to

18:29

admit this reeks of the

18:32

old high Sam Walker.

18:34

The one who reacted emotionally

18:36

to everything and made

18:39

stupid stupid locking mistakes. The

18:40

back sliding door is a faulty lock if

18:42

you work it or not. So I wouldn't use the sneak

18:44

home in the middle of the night, and I'm I'm still

18:46

18:49

can't stand the thought of you in

18:51

that house.

18:53

What

18:54

about your ghost? This

18:57

never left me anyway.

19:35

easy to get distracted even

19:39

just have to put it on airplane mode.

19:41

set it upside to say we built this kind

19:43

of immersive environment for the people who can escape

19:45

their world. So we're hoping that

19:48

you can turn it on airplane mode.

Yes. And just make the rest of the

19:53

world go away. Download the

19:55

episodes before you get on a plane.

Oh my goodness. Yeah. Yeah. legit

19:59

Under an hour. Right? Right.

21:05

Go inside. Hey,

21:16

Leah.

21:17

How

21:18

are you feeling? doing.

21:20

Do you still have a fever? How were the cravings?

21:22

Thanks. I'm doing

21:24

fine.

21:25

Okay. I

21:28

get I'm being over zealous. Listen,

21:31

I'd like to apologize. I

21:34

didn't realize you were

21:36

using while we were in my

21:38

office and I should

21:39

have. I don't apologize. I didn't want

21:42

you to know. I've always been good at

21:44

hiding things.

21:44

That does not

21:47

make me feel better.

21:50

How are you passing your your analysis.

21:55

Alright. Then I'll assume

21:58

Eric Tucker was helping you.

22:00

Don't

22:01

I won't.

22:02

I just

22:04

wanted to know what I'd missed.

22:07

you really hailing time?

22:09

Yes. I mean, mostly.

22:12

Sometimes they're better than

22:13

others. nausea.

22:15

Yeah. And body aches too. pretty

22:18

sure I've had a couple of migrants.

22:19

I'm very proud of

22:21

you, ma'am. I can't imagine

22:23

how hard that must have been.

22:25

It sucked.

22:29

Kimber said you sent the ice

22:31

packs and vitamins. So Thank

22:34

you. Of

22:34

course. If you need anything

22:37

else, let me know. And

22:39

now for the million dollar question. When are

22:42

you gonna be back in Chicago? I

22:44

don't

22:44

know. There's something I have to

22:47

do first. something

22:47

stupid. Probably.

22:49

Something

22:50

illegal? It's

22:52

possible.

22:55

Well, can't

22:57

you just wait few days, Sam, a

23:00

week at most? I've

23:02

been calling because I

23:04

wanted to tell you that Hank has made

23:06

some headway on validating your

23:09

story. Luke Jamieson,

23:11

over at Quantico, agreed to

23:13

take a meeting. That's great, Leah.

23:15

great we're But

23:18

you

23:18

don't think it'll make any difference.

23:21

Right. Sam. I'm sure

23:23

you've been through this before and have no reason

23:25

to trust the process this time either,

23:27

but I know Vic. She's

23:30

relentless. I'm not can up

23:32

on this. You need to stay safe

23:34

and you need to come home.

23:37

I

23:37

know. I will.

23:40

sound better. You

23:43

sound good. Tired

23:46

by a wink. Yep.

23:49

That pretty much describes it.

23:51

Take care of yourself

23:53

and check-in with

23:56

me. end Friday at the latest. Got

23:58

it. You need to get back

23:59

here by the first. I'm serious.

24:02

I need to have for a meeting.

24:04

And, yes, are your analysis?

24:07

Yeah.

24:07

Leah, I remember your kink.

24:09

Don't be gross. by

24:12

the way, I I

24:15

didn't expect Kimmer. She's

24:18

not how you described her at

24:19

all. changed a lot ten years. She didn't really

24:22

recognize me either.

24:23

And you

24:25

changed it again? You

24:28

sound so much clearer,

24:31

steady. It's a good

24:34

change. She loves

24:36

you Sam. You've

24:38

got people, including

24:41

me. Remember,

24:44

Friday, late or I'm coming

24:46

down there.

25:09

I

25:10

parked a

25:13

few

25:14

blocks away and

25:16

walked. Just in case anyone

25:18

was watching Graham's house,

25:20

before Whitney disappeared, she taught me

25:22

the best way to sneak home without being seen

25:24

by the neighbors. and I still remember

25:26

the route. I'd used it

25:28

many times along the

25:31

creek through the

25:33

Daniel's yard. and then the Monroe

25:35

is straight through our backgate

25:37

and up onto the

25:39

patio.

25:51

There were no

25:54

lights

25:55

on in the house.

25:58

No cars I could see in

25:59

the driveway. but the house felt deep

26:02

and looming really

26:04

was full of old

26:06

ghosts.

26:08

Someone Almost definitely, Graham

26:10

had built a large wooden deck

26:12

with a back porch had been

26:14

complete with a hot tub

26:16

and wet bar He was

26:19

certainly living it up without us.

26:21

I felt anger seizing

26:24

just below the surface, but

26:26

I held it in check. a power

26:28

I'd only recently reacquired. As

26:32

I manipulated the back lock and prayed,

26:34

no one had fixed it in the ten years since

26:36

I'd last exploited it. I wondered for

26:38

the first time about the woman living in

26:40

my father's house, his

26:43

new wife.

26:43

Alright.

26:47

Who the fuck

26:48

was it? The

26:50

possibilities were endless. And I

26:52

guess it didn't really matter. Had

26:54

he even grieved for my mom?

26:56

God knew I hadn't found

26:58

a moment to even think about her

27:01

yet. Couldn't.

27:06

Wendy's

27:06

lock trick with the sliding door worked,

27:08

and

27:08

I stepped inside. directly into

27:10

the kitchen. There were more

27:12

upgrades, including shiny

27:15

wood floors and top

27:16

the lined appliances. he

27:20

had money.

27:28

I was looking

27:30

for a laptop, computer tower,

27:32

file cabinet hell, and notebook anything I

27:34

could use to prove the

27:37

distance of Nebraska. I

27:39

started upstairs. My parents

27:41

room is different,

27:44

more modern. My own room

27:46

now had a flat screen and

27:48

a treadmill in it. Whitney's

27:51

remained the same as it ever was

27:53

minus the doll house.

27:56

No

27:56

surprise there.

28:02

I checked out gram study last,

28:06

thinking it was probably the most likely place to

28:08

hit pay dirt. For

28:10

some reason, I was in no hurry

28:12

to leave. There were

28:14

echoes

28:14

of comfort here.

28:18

Home.

28:18

It was a total

28:21

mind fuck.

28:23

I

28:23

knew immediately the office was

28:25

a dead end. The shelves

28:28

that used to hold my mom's romance

28:30

books were now lined with glass

28:32

blown art and ugly

28:34

naked statues. The

28:37

desk

28:37

was barren of everything except a single notebook

28:40

and pen. Instead of looking to lived

28:42

in, the room was now the office of an

28:44

impersonal show home.

28:46

If Graham still

28:47

had a laptop and I was

28:49

betting he did, he

28:51

had it with him. There were no hard

28:53

drives here.

28:55

I sat down

28:58

at

28:59

the desk and open the

29:02

notebook blank.

29:03

way

29:04

Disappointing.

29:08

What the hell

29:09

was this room before? There

29:12

was

29:12

nothing in it. And then

29:17

I happen

29:18

to look up

29:20

motherfucker. There was

29:23

a portrait

29:25

over its door.

29:27

It was

29:28

Whitney, painted

29:30

how she looked the summer

29:31

before she was taken.

29:34

a portrait was big, big

29:36

enough to show the detailed

29:38

expression on her face,

29:40

somewhere between wearing and

29:44

fear,

29:46

a portrait

29:46

that would have been enough to piss me off on

29:48

its own, but then I noticed

29:50

that she'd been painted next to

29:53

her dollhouse.

29:53

He

29:59

was still

29:59

obsessed with her all these years

30:02

later, and I

30:04

knew. I fucking knew. he

30:06

will never leave her alone.

30:09

Never. Even in death, he couldn't let her

30:11

go, but fuck that. I'm

30:13

still her brother, and I'm not gonna

30:16

stand

30:16

for that shit.

30:21

I dragged the painting down the hallway into

30:23

the kitchen

30:24

and then tore the thing to

30:26

shreds.

30:37

When

30:37

I ripped the canvas from the frame, I found

30:40

a long alphanumeric code

30:42

written on the

30:42

back. A stop for

30:45

a second. only

30:47

long enough to take a picture of it and send

30:49

it

30:49

to Eric, just

30:52

in case.

30:54

then I dumped all the pieces into the

30:57

deep marble sink in

30:59

the kitchen.

31:10

I pulled the

31:12

bottle of

31:13

whiskey from the outside bar and

31:14

poured it

31:15

liberally over the sheriff's shrine.

31:19

I lit a cigarette and watched the burn

31:21

for a moment. So much

31:23

for hiding I'd been there.

31:26

Graham would know now. I

31:28

destroyed his creepy art.

31:30

I was about to light it on fire

31:32

in his sink. Shit was

31:34

about to get real, and

31:37

I couldn't stop myself. After my

31:39

dreams the night before when it was like

31:41

an open wound. and

31:43

a burned.

31:56

I

32:04

threw

32:04

my cigarette onto the whiskey soap to

32:06

fire, and it erupted in a pyramid of

32:08

yellow flame. I wish

32:11

that could burn everything. This

32:14

entire house

32:15

I wish I could burn them too.

32:21

The pieces of canvas burned

32:23

fast. I don't

32:25

know

32:25

why I sat around watching it for

32:27

so long. Maybe it was my desperate

32:29

need for closure. Maybe

32:32

I liked knowing how much this put her

32:35

gram

32:35

rip them apart.

32:37

Have you ever rippled in that a

32:40

little bit, but it

32:42

didn't feel emotionally satisfying. why.

32:44

In fact, felt like nothing.

32:46

Like the shadow of

32:49

something meaningful. the

32:51

wooden frame was the last burn. And as

32:53

I stoke the fire, I heard a familiar

32:55

sound from down the hallway.

32:58

the garage door was opening.

33:03

I almost

33:03

hoped it was ground, but

33:05

I knew it wasn't. It

33:07

was her She wasn't my

33:09

mom. She didn't matter, but

33:12

still

33:12

found myself curious. So

33:15

when the woman came strolling into the kitchen like she owned

33:17

the place, which I guess

33:19

she did, have

33:22

a still paying more attention to the burning shrine than

33:23

her. Who

33:27

the hell are you? Get out of

33:29

my house.

33:31

Emily,

33:33

it only took

33:35

seconds to recognize

33:37

her. Emma

33:39

had aged much better than me in

33:41

the ten years since I'd seen her.

33:43

She looked great, really

33:46

healthy, whole But I

33:48

couldn't figure out what the fuck she was

33:50

doing in my house.

33:52

Sam?

33:54

Oh my gosh. What

33:55

what are you

33:56

burning? What is this?

34:00

Why are

34:02

you here, Emma?

34:04

A lot has

34:06

happened since you left Sam.

34:08

You mean since I was run out of here? What

34:10

the hell are you doing in my mother's house

34:13

Your mother is

34:16

dead, Sam. I fucking know that.

34:18

Answer my question.

34:20

It's not your house. It's

34:22

my house. I live here. Why would grandma let you

34:23

live here? Don't be

34:25

obtuse. I think you can connect the

34:28

dots. We're married. about five

34:30

years now.

34:32

You may read my

34:33

dad, my fucking dad. Oh, don't

34:35

act like you're broken hearted.

34:37

We were a million years ago. Oh,

34:39

I'm not broken hard and I'm fucking disgusted. He's in

34:41

his fifties. He takes

34:43

care of me.

34:45

Oh, you think he gives a shit

34:47

about you? Fuck you. You used to

34:49

be smarter than

34:50

the Emma. I swear to god you did.

34:52

Smarter than

34:53

what? Marrying someone

34:55

who steady, established,

34:57

mature, manipulative, corrupt, a

34:59

murdering rapist piece of shit. That's

35:01

what you married.

35:04

Were

35:04

you sleeping with him before my mom died?

35:06

That's none of

35:08

your business. Yeah.

35:11

You're right. It's not my business. You were not my business. You're just

35:13

a pathetic town flake who peaked in high

35:16

school. Get the

35:18

fuck out of my

35:20

house. Not until

35:23

there's nothing left of

35:26

this. No. No. No.

35:28

No. No.

35:30

No. No.

35:31

What have you done? He's going

35:34

to kill you. When I tell

35:36

him what you've done, he really is going

35:38

to kill you.

35:38

Not if I kill him first.

35:42

Gosh. Dumbstone of a

35:43

bitch.

35:44

You're gonna ruin everything.

35:48

Everything I I've wanted and I've

35:50

only just Why did you come back here? You're gonna

35:52

fuck him up in the head. Worse

35:55

supposed to have baby next month. Yeah. You

35:57

don't look pregnant.

36:00

You tell grandma I'm

36:01

done waiting. He's done waiting.

36:03

You don't

36:04

know what just did. I am

36:06

calling him. I'm telling him right

36:10

now. I didn't try

36:11

to stop

36:14

her. It was too late

36:16

now anyway. I couldn't hide this. And

36:20

Emma, Jesus. What

36:21

had happened in the years I've been

36:24

gone? Jimmy warned

36:26

me that Graham liked to play sick games with

36:29

his kids. This is what he was

36:31

talking about. Fuck.

36:34

ah

36:36

Gibby Graham. Now, I

36:38

wanna speak

36:39

to my goddamn husband. He's here.

36:41

He's

36:41

in Go.

36:45

Keep your

36:50

eye. What the hell are

36:52

you doing in the walker's house, Emily? You

36:54

sleeping with the sheriff? He's

36:57

my husband, you crazy bitch. What?

37:02

my husband.

37:03

You married him?

37:04

What the fuck?

37:05

No. No Emma, you don't know what he is. Oh,

37:07

she knows. She's having

37:08

a baby next month.

37:11

Yeah. I do know. We share everything just like

37:13

spouse just should, unlike he did with

37:16

your mother.

37:17

I'm a survivor. So

37:19

are you currently Kimber? You always

37:22

wanted to take Sam for me. I guess

37:24

you finally got him. Well,

37:26

some dirty

37:28

version of him anyway. Got the fuck up or I'll body send

37:30

you again. If you do, he'll just kill

37:33

you slower.

37:34

Who are you?

37:36

I'm a walker. Who are you? You're

37:38

delusional. You both are so dead

37:40

when

37:41

grandkids here. Yeah. We know.

37:44

No. You

37:44

really don't know. That portion is like a

37:47

holy relic to Graham. He fucking

37:49

talks to it. It'll be

37:51

like she died it all over again. And this

37:53

time, you killed her. Sam, you are fucked. You're both

37:56

so fucked. Emma, you

37:58

wholesale

37:58

bitch. Come on.

37:59

Don't fuck me.

38:02

Sorry. Come

38:02

on. I

38:03

am. You're no fucking better

38:06

than Grace,

38:08

Cleary, Emily. I hope you

38:10

know that. Have fun meeting the

38:12

shiny gentleman, Kimver. It's

38:14

long overdue.

38:18

Don't listen to her.

38:20

She's been fucking

38:22

brainwashed. Why the hell aren't you

38:24

back at the hotel?

38:26

you took over an hour and in that time your little package was delivered.

38:29

What

38:29

package? I don't act like you

38:32

don't know. I have no fucking

38:34

idea what you're even Whatever. Did you find

38:36

anything? Please

38:36

tell me when you want something, we didn't

38:38

just piss them off for spite.

38:40

A

38:40

coat. It's a certain long coat.

38:43

I took a picture of it and sent it to

38:45

Eric. Hurry. Please. Stop managing

38:48

me. Did

38:50

you

38:50

hotwire that thing?

38:52

I learned a lot

38:53

in my ten years away. I'm assuming you tore up the lawn off

38:56

purpose. Couldn't help myself. What happened

38:58

to subtle? what

39:00

happened to subtle? Are are you serious? You were

39:02

burning the kitchen down when I came in.

39:04

Well, let's take your

39:05

stolen car. Maybe it'll buy us

39:08

five minutes of anonymity. We we

39:10

can't.

39:10

All the guns and everything are in my

39:11

car. Shit. Okay. Hurry.

39:14

Hurry. Let's go. keys.

39:17

oh

39:19

Listen.

39:26

I fucked up.

39:28

Yep. You think? I might

39:30

have pissed

39:31

off Graham even more. I guess

39:33

it doesn't matter. This was always gonna

39:35

come to a head. We Whatever

39:37

you burn, Gram.

39:38

What the hell were you

39:40

talking about? Package.

39:41

I'm talking about your little

39:43

delivery

39:43

that showed up this

39:45

morning. I'm worried about you, Sam, but

39:48

mostly I'm fucking pissed.

39:50

Where was it from? Chicago,

39:51

where else? no return

39:54

address.

39:54

I wonder what the fuck that could

39:56

be. I told you, I don't know anything about

39:58

a package,

39:58

especially from Chicago.

39:59

Then why did it have your name on it?

40:02

What are you accusing me

40:03

of, Kaye? You think I ordered

40:06

heroin on the phone like a pizza, an

40:07

earnout student line at FedEx? I don't know how that

40:10

shit works. All I know is that I

40:12

still can't fucking trust you, and just when I

40:14

think I can. I know I

40:15

was a liability, and I'm so sorry

40:17

for that. It kills me to even

40:19

think about the I put us in,

40:21

but that's over. It's been over. Is it is it over?

40:24

Yes.

40:26

Yes. Sure. kick. I'm

40:28

horribly painfully sober.

40:30

I fucking hate it, but I'm

40:32

glad. I don't know anything about a

40:35

package. Sorry. You got freaked out, but

40:37

I I promise you. I wouldn't lie to

40:39

you about this.

40:42

Wouldn't you?

40:45

Defuck. No.

40:46

You wouldn't

40:48

have a shit. Sam, I'm

40:52

sorry. Fun. I know

40:53

you're still learning to trust me.

40:55

It's just that week

40:56

was so horrible and

40:59

you were in so much pain, it kills me

41:01

to think it was all for nothing. It's not for

41:04

nothing. I'm here. I'm here with

41:06

you. Also,

41:07

what

41:09

the fuck are we going to

41:11

do? He's coming. And when he doesn't find us at the house, he's gonna come

41:13

straight to the hotel. I

41:15

don't hear

41:16

any sirens.

41:19

They know we have nowhere to go. They

41:21

know where we're staying.

41:22

Fuck. If

41:23

we try to leave

41:25

town, it's over. Maybe we

41:28

should

41:28

just leave. Come

41:30

back in another

41:31

ten years. They're not going to let

41:33

us leave,

41:34

Kaye. We

41:36

can't

41:37

anyway because

41:39

shit. Shit.

41:42

I'm afraid to ask. We have

41:43

ask

41:44

to go back to the room. I left something there. It's

41:47

important. I I have to go back. You

41:49

can leave me there, but I No. No. We'll

41:51

go back. We'll be quick. Doesn't

41:54

sound like following us anyway. What do you

41:56

need? I wouldn't go back if it wasn't important.

41:58

I swear. What is it? We're going back

41:59

for k? Do

42:02

you remember the penpal

42:03

exchange we did in eighth grade, mister

42:05

Abald's class? vaguely.

42:09

they going Kyle

42:11

picked me as his pen pal for the assignment.

42:13

He got away with it by routing the letters

42:15

through some kid he met on the Internet

42:17

in Ukraine. They were

42:18

his first love letters to me. they

42:21

were terrible, but they are quite literally all

42:23

I have left at Kyle. I

42:25

need those letters. Yeah. That's not

42:27

brand for Kyle. how

42:29

how the fuck do you even have them? You left Richmond

42:32

with nothing? Not

42:34

nothing.

42:34

I had your car. They

42:38

were in my car. Yeah. I took

42:40

your car home from the funeral. Remember? After

42:42

I found my mom's letter, I knew we needed

42:44

to get the fuck out of risking as fast as

42:47

possible. level. I grabbed only the most important shit, and I

42:49

put it in the car. But then Jimmy

42:51

and his friends showed up.

42:53

The letters were in

42:55

my car. Yeah.

42:56

and they were still in there the day I left risking. But

42:58

I was so fucked up on the drugs I I could barely drive.

43:01

Pulling around at the back.

43:03

Alright.

43:05

Let's get your letters. Find some place to hide out and regroup it.

43:07

That's the plan. I hoped,

43:09

god. Eric found something because

43:11

we're at a time.

43:13

I'm sorry,

43:16

I

43:20

know this

43:21

risk for some letters. But We've done a lot of

43:24

stupid shit for letters. It's alright.

chocolate bars, that sort

44:32

of thing. Fantastic accounts

44:34

of trouble pop up every year,

but is trick

45:27

Is

45:30

this

45:34

the

45:34

package you were talking about?

45:36

Yep. I

45:38

know this

45:39

fuckers handwriting. Eric

45:41

sent this. What? What the

45:43

hell did you send you?

45:44

Gotta be shitting

45:47

me. I forgot he said he

45:49

was gonna do this. Maple

45:52

syrup

45:52

of confused. Are you fucking kidding

45:54

me?

45:54

Well, don't get excited. Even

45:56

with overnight delivery, they would

45:59

have gone

45:59

bad. They're frozen. We're bringing

46:02

them. Really? how did he

46:04

manage

46:06

that?

46:15

Shit.

46:16

They think they have us quarter.

46:18

They think we're still in 209

46:20

gets their intel isn't that good. Get your shit. the car. What

46:22

what are what are we doing? We're

46:25

running. But if Graham is

46:27

here, maybe we I didn't hear

46:30

Graham. I heard Alan Greg.

46:32

What

46:32

do you think they're gonna do to us?

46:34

They're not gonna do anything. We're getting out of here

46:36

Come on. It won't take them long to figure out we're not in

46:40

there.

46:52

They're not

46:56

gonna let us go.

46:57

Then we'll have to run

46:59

them. At worst, fight them. We got a trunk full of

47:02

artillery. That you don't know how to use

47:04

yet. I'll have to learn

47:06

real quick.

47:06

chamberlain.

47:11

You're wanting to speak to

47:13

the failure suit of command in. I

47:24

still can't believe they're pinning Kyle's assault on

47:25

you

47:27

in the car. When

47:31

we come around the side

47:33

of the building, I want you to

47:35

get down. You think

47:38

they'll shoot about us? I don't know what they're going to do.

47:40

Depends

47:40

on how pissed grandmas.

47:42

Oh,

47:43

it's Eric. He

47:45

says he recognizes the code for a brand

47:47

of fucking high end hard drives. It's the it's the identity

47:49

of the one we're looking for.

47:50

So if we happen to find a server room,

47:53

we

47:53

I get

47:55

it. We which

47:55

way are you gonna go? Doesn't matter. We

47:58

just need to get away from them. We're not

47:59

gonna try to get out of town. They won't

48:02

let us. And anyway, look,

48:04

I promise you we will leave Kyle. We'll

48:06

just try to lose him. Do you know how to lose

48:08

a tail? I played a lot of

48:10

GTA.

48:10

Sam, that's

48:12

not.

48:22

Oh,

48:24

the block hit

48:26

is the on ramp. I see

48:30

it. Should we

48:32

out

48:32

ramp five

48:35

cop cars.

48:39

Bam.

48:44

But why are all of our guns at the goddamn

48:46

truck? Hold

48:48

on. on.

48:54

Holy can know me that

48:56

was close. Keep

48:58

up, get

49:00

down. They're not anywhere

49:03

from the fire. What

49:06

are you doing?

49:08

Fuck. We don't have

49:11

a choice. What

49:14

what what are you gonna do? Go ahead.

49:17

It's gonna do a lamp. You're gonna see

49:19

we're getting on two eighty

49:20

two. The reservoir lookout is an one

49:22

back. They'll lose some of us for a few seconds. But the

49:24

only way to pull off is that mountain

49:27

road. I know. It'll be

49:28

hello

49:29

flat. You don't

49:31

know there'll be plow the hell of a gamble. It has to

49:34

be. Stay

49:36

out.

49:38

They're dropping back. Sam, what if they're hurting

49:40

us here? It doesn't matter. It's the only

49:44

choice. I

49:45

can't see them. You are

49:48

right

49:48

with the cloud.

49:50

Think

49:52

of.

49:57

Sam, are

49:58

they following

49:59

us? No. But they know where we went. They're they're stopped

50:02

at the bottom of

50:04

the road. They're blocking us in. It doesn't matter.

50:06

We've already

50:06

lost the advantage of surprise. And how do

50:08

we have a chance at a hell of pulling this off?

50:10

I don't know. Maybe we

50:14

don't. What? This was

50:14

such a mistake. I never should've brought you

50:17

back here. I never should've even fucking tried. Now

50:19

we're both fucking so fucked. I

50:22

wouldn't have lasted much longer on my own

50:24

anyway, Kaye. Oh, don't say

50:26

that, God. I just wanted to save

50:29

Kyle. Kill Grammar dreamed about it. Why did I think I

50:31

could do this? They were never worried about us at all.

50:33

Were they? I can't do this.

50:36

I'm I'm

50:38

waving away

50:38

like, I'm

50:39

giving up. You can't do

50:42

this. You wanna know

50:43

why? Why?

50:45

because they haven't met

50:47

this skipper. They don't know you at all.

50:49

They don't expect you. Remember?

50:52

Bad cop? So

50:54

I could hit a

50:55

target so what? You could do a lot more than that. Are we

50:57

just gonna keep going until the road runs out?

50:59

Or we see an

51:02

intersecting road?

51:02

still don't know where Nebraska is.

51:04

I sent a text to Jimmy,

51:06

but it didn't go through. We'll find it.

51:08

We don't

51:09

have another choice.

51:12

Sam?

51:17

Yeah. We're about

51:18

to run out of road.

51:24

Fuck it.

51:26

What do we

51:28

miss? I didn't see another

51:29

turn off. maybe this isn't the

51:32

way

51:32

after all. Fuck

51:34

me. They're smarter

51:35

than I thought.

51:39

What do we do

51:39

now? I don't

51:41

know. Are you getting service

51:43

on your

51:46

phone?

51:46

No. Spotted two miles down.

51:48

don't

51:48

think I'll get anything up here.

51:50

Think they got a landline at Nebraska? I

51:53

don't know. Well, how much

51:55

gas do we have?

51:58

less than an eighth of a

51:59

tank. eighth of attack

52:01

Wow. Yeah.

52:04

That about sums it up.

52:08

At least we have the

52:10

guts. Things could be worse. Yeah.

52:18

It's definitely

52:20

not nothing.

52:20

nothing

52:24

It's gonna be

52:26

hell of a confrontation, and we'll be going in

52:28

without any insurance on our lives.

52:30

And that's if

52:32

we can even find the mine. Maybe

52:35

we can get far enough down the mountain that you

52:35

get signal and call Jimmy. You

52:38

really wanna

52:38

help him swing the ax for his own execution?

52:40

I think it's fitting. Should

52:44

we drive back down the mountain and stop when we get a signal? It's a

52:46

risk.

52:46

If we burn too much gas getting back

52:48

up, we we won't have any heat

52:52

tonight. god, I didn't even realize that. We're definitely spending time in the

52:54

car. And I guess I can also spend tonight

52:56

teaching you to shoot before it gets too cold

52:59

and then tomorrow, what?

53:03

We ride.

53:08

I

53:09

just see you're still keeping a sense of humor, shortcake. I think we

53:11

should risk the drive. We need to know where Nebraska is. That's pretty

53:13

much the most important thing

53:15

right now. Alright.

53:18

but

53:19

I might have to make a twenty seven point turn to

53:21

turn around on this road. That'll be fun to watch. What

53:23

you wanna do in a

53:25

stead, Kay? Nope.

53:28

Shit.

53:28

My phone's about to die. Plug it

53:30

in. I'm gonna get my charger from the

53:33

trunk too just in case it decides

53:35

to

53:35

get service.

53:47

Sam?

53:51

What was

53:52

that?

53:58

What?

53:59

one

54:04

Oh,

54:06

shit. They

54:07

took it all almost everything.

54:08

How did they get into our truck and when? Had to

54:10

be in

54:11

the middle of the night.

54:13

Well, we only repacked the guns in there

54:15

yesterday after we moved to the back parking lot. We

54:17

would have seen their tracks in the snow.

54:19

The big storm came through last night, Kimball.

54:21

covered everything, might have literally covered

54:23

their tracks. So fuck, let me think trick

54:25

does that. We were set up. I

54:27

think so. Yeah. Fuck.

54:31

I'm like, Oh my god. They wanted us

54:32

to be scrambling without a plan.

54:34

They did. They fucked

54:36

us. Yeah. Short cake. they

54:40

did.

54:40

Why are you reacting? We're

54:42

screwed, Sam. They took everything.

54:46

Almost everything. They left your

54:47

favorite forty five

54:50

and one of the bulletproof

54:52

vests were

54:54

good is a ballistics vest in a hand

54:56

belt without any fucking bullets, Sam. Check the

54:59

chamber. Why? Check

55:02

it.

55:04

One bullet.

55:05

Why? What what's the

55:07

point of this?

55:11

Graham is

55:14

playing another game.

55:16

That's the point.

55:17

If he left us

55:18

with nothing, he knows we'd never show

55:20

up, so he gave us a tiny glimmer of hope.

55:24

That sadistic

55:25

evil bastard

55:27

I could not believe you came

55:29

from him. You're the opposite of Graham in every fucking way,

55:31

and I hope you know

55:34

that. Was it saying you didn't

55:36

fit me? Yeah. It don't fit

55:38

us

55:38

both. I made sure it was adjustable.

55:41

What's that? Oh,

55:44

come on. fuck.

55:46

I am sick of letters. Come

55:47

on, it's freezing. Let's read it
