Now, I want you to take this to any of the judges down the hall.
The wait shouldn't be too bad.
So Congratulations.
She's all yours.
She's all ours.
We got you.
Fuck! You see a tag on this? I think it's $17.
95.
Cool? What? I'll take that, too.
Please turn off the vehicle, sir.
There's a body in the back of my truck.
You're my sister.
Did you know that? We're sisters.
See? What's she wearing? It was in the box that your brother sent.
Check it out.
Aw, that was sweet of him.
Hi.
You want to go for a walk with us? Um, no.
I'm gonna meet a friend for coffee.
Is he cute? Not as cute as he used to be.
Remember, we have dinner at 7:00.
Dad's gonna wear a sport coat and everything, so get ready to celebrate.
Oh, I'm ready.
- Thank you.
- Anything else I can get you? Sorry, it's not for me.
Waiting for someone who's just 20 minutes late.
Okay.
Looking good, Billy Ray.
Feeling good, Louis.
- Sorry, I'm sick.
- Oh.
I don't want to infect you.
That sucks.
I ordered you a cheeseburger.
Thank you.
Um, school good? It's August.
It's August.
- You're right.
- Yeah.
Um, Dad and Nora adopted the baby.
Wow.
They still calling it Lily? Yeah, you don't like that? Who cares what I like? I care.
I mean, you gave her to us.
Did you tell Dad? No.
- Jill, did you? - No.
You can't tell Dad.
I promised you that I wouldn't.
You know, you should really just call him sometime.
- He worries about you.
- We're not starting that again, Jill.
- Why are you so angry? - I'm not.
I'm not angry.
Well, can I just tell him that I know you're okay? No, Jill, you can't.
Why not? 'Cause nobody's okay.
I am.
And so is Dad and Nora.
We're all okay.
That's good for you.
You deserve that.
One big, happy family.
Well, you can be a part of it.
I mean, anytime.
I'm sorry.
She, um she wanted me to give this to you.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Hello.
Nora, Mike from Century.
- Are you sitting down? - No, I'm standing.
There's an offer on your house.
2.
7.
- Million? - Yeah, million.
But we listed it for 600,000.
- Why would they - It's a preemptive bid.
Listen, they put it on a clock.
We have until end of day to respond.
So I'm saying yes, yes? Nora? Why are you offering me four times what I'm asking for my house? Your residence has been flagged as a highly desirable property by a number of separate institutions.
What's your institution? - We're from MIT.
- Good school.
It is, thank you.
We're spearheading a research project and the university is financing the grant.
- To buy my house? - Yes.
- Why? - Because it is anomalous.
It's a deviation from the statistical norm She knows what it means.
You want to buy my house because my husband and children disappeared from here.
Yes, and our deepest condolences for your loss.
- So you have a guess? - Sorry? If they're writing you a grant that big, you must have a guess as to where my family went.
We can't determine where, only why.
I don't understand.
Our guess is that it's a matter of geography.
Places.
And the richest data can be gathered from sites where multiple departures have occurred in the same proximity, like right here.
But I was here with them.
Our understanding is that your family was here at the table, but you were over by the sink, yes? You're saying if I was sitting right here, I would have gone, too? If you sell us your house, we'll be one step closer to answering that.
- Then what? - Sorry? If you're right, then what? What does it matter? People want to be able to protect themselves against a recurrence.
You think it's gonna happen again? Why wouldn't it? Staties offer you anything? Some shitty coffee out there.
Lois Makepeace from ATFEC.
Kevin Garvey.
Want to ask about the eye? No.
Most people are curious.
So they confirmed the ID of the body in your truck.
Patricia Levin.
Regional leadership of the Guilty Remnant.
- She went by Patti.
- Did you kill her? No, I disinterred her body.
You know who did kill her? She killed herself, but I was So she killed herself? Yes, but I was responsible for But she killed herself? Yes, she did.
- I - Don't care.
I don't care how you knew where she was buried or why you dug her up because I don't care about her.
I read your official resignation.
Chief Kevin Garvey of Mapleton PD.
You quit being a cop.
Probably 'cause this piece of shit Levin liked smoking and telling those other chickenshits in her little club to cause a riot in your goddamn town.
So she killed herself.
The world spins on.
Good riddance, Patricia, we hardly fucking knew ya.
Are you letting me go? Do you want to blow your life up? What? Do you want to blow your life up? No.
Then go home, Kevin Garvey.
What the fuck was that? - I'm losing circulation.
- I know.
She's got a grip on her.
Hey, there he is.
Hola, bambino.
Nora: Your dad's been released.
Isn't that great? Released? When? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're dubious.
I'm supposed to trust you just because you're wearing normal clothes, not a bathrobe? Good fit, huh? Guy I stole them off is in a ditch bleeding to death.
Boys.
Do you want to call the nuthouse? What are they gonna tell me if I do? That I'm cured.
And he's moving to Australia.
Not moving, just visiting for an indefinite period of time.
I'm gonna take her up for her nap and hop in the shower.
Okay.
Hi.
Your son's taking us to dinner tonight.
He made a reservation and everything.
What a gentleman.
Nora: Why don't you two catch up? She's a great woman.
You said that about Laurie, too.
Well, I still like Laurie.
I just like Nora more.
Try not to drive her into a fucking cult, okay? Jesus, your sense of humor is back.
Will wonders never cease? I got to admit, it's pretty convincing.
What? You.
You seem pretty normal.
- You implying that I'm not? - Well watched you for four years yelling at shit that wasn't even there.
Who says it wasn't there? I don't know.
Laws of fucking nature.
Well, son, wouldn't you agree that the laws of fucking nature seemed a bit upside down as of late? So, what, your voices, they just went away? No, sir.
I just started doing what they told me to.
They tell you to go to Australia? God, I love this town.
But now everywhere I look, all I see is what's gone.
So I can sit around and cry about how the world fucking ended or I could start it up again.
And we offer that grilled on a bed of daily cut spinach.
Or you can have it roasted in our brick oven with fingerling potatoes.
The pasta is homemade agnolotti with veal ragout and we prepare that al dente.
Just a little brittleness to the bite.
And just to remind you, the chef requests no substitutions.
Can I get the pasta with the sauce on the side? Yes, of course.
And can I get that without the brittleness to the bite? That's not technically a substitution.
I'd be happy to ask.
Thanks.
That'd be great.
What? Do you want to get out of here? Out of the restaurant? No.
Not the restaurant.
Jill, honey.
We're here.
Please proceed to the visitor center to get your wristbands.
If you do not have a reservation, you'll have to turn around before the bridge.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you want to sell your wristbands? Uh, sorry? We, my family, we've been camped out for two weeks.
I've got cash.
We rented a place.
I don't think we need a wristband.
If you do not have a reservation, y'all need to turn around before the bridge.
Morning.
Do you mind if we get the keys to your trailer? Some folks hitch a ride in.
We just want to make sure you didn't pick up any unwanted guests along the way.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Y'all got a reservation? We rented a place in town.
Good for you.
Just need to see a copy of the lease and we'll let y'all on in.
Is this okay? We did it all online.
Yes, ma'am.
So you just take this to the rental desk at the visitor center.
It's just over the bridge.
They'll set your vehicle up with some stickers so you can drive on into town, okay? Great.
Thanks so much.

Y'all were lucky to get one as easy as you did.

That was for six months.
Okay? We're gonna take this one step at a time.
- Our steps burned down.
- Nora, you need to take a breath.
There's gonna be other chances.
How often do they have auctions? That's the first one they've had this summer.

Three million once.
Three million twice.
- I have sold the house for $3 million.
- We won! Hey, we won.
Please don't take these off till you get your permanent resident cards.
It'll keep the rangers in town off your back.
- Too tight? - No, it's fine.
Thanks.
Once the wire transfer from your bank goes through, y'all can come pick up the keys.
- Initial here and here.
- Okay.
There's no hotels in the park, so y'all are gonna need to find other accommodations for tonight.
We don't need accommodations.
We have family here.
Think this is the right place? Yup, he said the cottage next to the church.
Looks like a storage shed.
- Hello? - Matt! It's us.
Oh! You're here! - Oh! Hey, hey.
- Hi.
Oh my God, she's so big already.
Hey, I'm your Uncle Matt.
Remember me? Oh.
Okay, come in.
Mary will be happy to see you.
Let's go.
Hey, I'm glad you're here.
Me, too, Matt.
- Come on.
- All right.
Hi, Mary.
How are you? This is Lily.
Can you say hi? Yeah.
I know it's not much, but we have our own bathroom.
And Reverend Massey, it's his church.
He and his wife let us use the kitchen in the main house whenever we want.
How was it coming into town? The visitor center's something, huh? It was, you know they took our dog and they told us our rental burned down, but other than that, you know, smooth sailing.
What? We were hoping we could stay with you guys tonight.
Oh, sure.
Of course.
We're just a little short of space.
Oh, we have a tent.
$3 million? That's almost exactly what I got for my place back home.
- Weird, huh? - Yeah, it was meant to be.
I'm sure it's very nice.
We haven't actually seen it yet.
Guess that's why they call it a leap of faith.
Yeah, a leap of something.
You know, why don't you and Mary come stay with us for a while? No.
That's very generous, but I don't think it's a good idea.
You'd rather live in a garage than stay with us? No, it's just I've been helping out at the church.
I should be close by.
What aren't you telling me? He doesn't want to, Nora.
- But why doesn't he want to? - He just told you.
Let it go.
Oh, so you two bury a body together and now you got each other's backs, huh? You told her? Yeah.
We tell each other everything.
It should be coming up here on the right in just a sec.
There it is.
At least it's big.
I get to call my room.
Oh, no, you don't.
Watch yourself.
You're carrying a baby.
Come on.
Fucker.
Ah, fuck! Jesus Christ.
Kevin.
I'm sorry I had to do that to you, but we just cannot go on with you treating me like I don't exist.
I do exist.
I need you to talk to me.
I just need you to talk ah! Kevin? What happened? Just I slipped on some water.
I was checking the stove.
There's got to be a leak.
- You're bleeding.
- I'm fine.
I'm fine.
- Are you - Go ahead and get that.
I have Band-Aids in my purse.
- Okay, I got him.
- Let's go answer the door.
Come on.
Let's go see.
Feel like such a fucking idiot.
That 'cause there's no water on the floor? Well, I slipped on something.
Obviously.
Sit down.
Please don't put that on my head.
It'll clear out.
Ow, careful.
Just be careful.
Don't be a baby.
There you go.
No more owie.
Hey, sweetie.
Who was that? - Who was that? - Our new neighbor.
You okay? Mm-hmm.
You want to go to a birthday party? What? We just got here.
We haven't even unpacked.
We'll just drop by for 15 minutes, make an appearance.
- 15 minutes? - 15 minutes.
All right.
Shit.
Evie.
Evie.
Come back, Evie.
Evie, come on, baby.
Evie, come back, baby.
- I went away? - Mm-hmm.
Um, she has epilepsy.
This doesn't happen unless she forgets to take her meds.
Sorry.
I ruined your cake.
No, no, no, no.
It's I burned it anyway.
The pie! They brought us a pie.
It's on the kitchen counter.
- Will you run and get it? - Oh, yeah.
I'll be right back.
Do you have any more candles? Chief Garvey has secured the pie.
Pie is secure.
Over.
Very interesting family, those Murphys.
Hard to tell if they're part of your story or you're part of theirs.
I'll see you when you get home, Kevin.
I'm not going anywhere.
you just bring this pretty little thing over here.
You'll be sorry you said that.
- Let's go, sweetheart.
- Thank you for having us.
Oh, well, thank you for stopping by.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better, Kevin.
Yeah, me, too.
Bye.
S-see you later.
Evie: Oh, Jesus.
Hey.
Are you the new neighbors? Uh-huh.
Welcome to Miracle.
Thanks.
Bye, sweetheart.
Happy birthday.
I like them.
They're nice.
- What? - What? - Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah, just tired.
God damn it! God damn it! Jesus Christ, it's just a lightbulb.
No, it's not just a lightbulb.
It's the whole fucking house.
What's wrong with you? This was not the plan.
This was not what it was supposed to be.
- What was it supposed to be? - Not this.
Not spend all our money on a house that we've never even seen or been in.
We were supposed to try it out, see what happens.
And you went all fucking in.
Why? For what? What? She needs to be here 'cause it makes her feel safe.
And what if it's no safer here than anywhere else? Then why do we have these awesome wristbands? Please don't fuck this up, Dad.
I'm fucking it up? Well, not yet, but you're showing potential.
She asleep? Uh-huh.
I'm an asshole.
Uh-huh.
I'm sorry.
I like it here.
Me, too.
Kevin.
Hmm? If there's something you want to tell me, whatever it is, I can handle it.
I love you.
_ Dad! The water's gone.
Evie! Evie! Evie! Evie! Uh-oh.
