What do you want? You ordered a-a pizza? Not me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Are you sure? - What? - It's him.
It's him.
I need to I need you to give me your phone.
Okay.
[PHONE BEEPING.]
What, Carly? Uh, I need you to come to the Wayside Motel right now.
[TAYLOR.]
Why? What'd you do? I found Marius Josipovic.
[TAYLOR.]
Jesus Christ, Carly.
Stay where you are, okay? Don't do anything.
I'm on my way.
[ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
So what do we do? What do we do? We don't do anything.
I'm taking you home.
Get in the car.
- No.
- No? What do you mean no? How how do you even know that's Josipovic in there? I saw his picture on his police record.
Carly please tell me that you did not use my computer to look at his file.
What the fuck, Carly? Do you know how much trouble I could be in if somebody finds out? Out of your fucking mind! I don't care [PHONE BEEPS.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
Pete? [PETE.]
There's a cop outside.
A cop? A-a cop could be there for anything.
No, no.
Something's up.
They sent a pizza delivery girl to smoke me out.
There's no way Wait a minute.
What did she look like? [PETE.]
She's got brown hair.
She's kind of cute.
She came to the door, and she looked at me all weird, and then she tried to look inside the room.
Pete, listen to me.
Get out of there now.
Go out the back window.
Hold on.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck! It's jammed.
[MARIUS.]
Well, use the bathroom window.
There is no window.
All right, listen, hide under the bed, don't answer the door for anybody.
I'm on my way.

[PHONE VIBRATING.]
[PHONE BEEPS.]
[QUIETLY.]
Fuck.
[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
Oh, my God! You scared the shit out of me.
What are you doing here? I thought you left town.
[CAR DOOR OPENS.]
I'm just tying up some loose ends, and then I then I'm gone.
Is one of those loose ends Marius Josipovic? Carly, get in the fucking car.
How do you know about Marius Josipovic? I know he's in that hotel room.
Oh, is that why you left this in the car? - So you could follow me? - What the fuck, Carly? I just wanted to find out the truth.
And I called you, didn't I? All right, fine, Marius Josipovic is in that hotel room.
Whoop-de-fucking-doo.
You happy? And he's not just some drug addict, is he? No.
No, he's he's my old cellmate.
I didn't want to tell you about it, because I'm not too proud about that time in my life.
Right.
Hanging out with ex-cons, that's how you're gonna turn your life around, Pete? That's a parole violation.
I should arrest you both right now.
Yeah, especially if your friend killed Winslow.
All right, fine, arrest your cousin for violating parole, and arrest Marius for murder, if that's what you think he did.
Come on, Carly.
- Hey, listen, I - Wait.
That's it? Come on! I don't know what you're looking for, but my life is just not that interesting.
[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
[ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]

Fuck.
God damn it.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Hello? They just left, but you can't stay here anymore.
Okay, what do I do? [MARIUS.]
I hid $500 in a bag in the closet.
Wait ten minutes, buy a bus ticket to Sedona, and go find your mother.
Uh, they know she's there.
I I I can only hold them for so long, but you got to get going.
Pete, stay safe [PHONE BEEPS.]
And go far, far away.
How you doing? I know where my mother is.
- About fucking time.
- Where? - How much gas do you have? - Three quarters.
Why? Well, that'll get us halfway there.
Head north on 95.
[ENGINE TURNING OVER.]

[ICE MACHINE RATTLES.]
[ THE BRIGHT LIGHT SOCIAL HOUR: "HARDER OUT HERE".]
[MAN.]
It's getting harder out here I keep trying to just make my way It's not lying I'm only trying Just trust in me [ALL.]
Trust in me Just trust in me [ALL.]
Trust in me Just trust in me There's no way that car is still there.
It's stripped or stolen by now.
For your sake, I hope you're wrong.
So you're the asshole who put Moe in the hospital, huh? Well, I offered him an easier way, but he picked the hard one.
We find the car, what then? Car first, questions later.
I didn't kill your father.
- Who did? - I can't tell you.
- I could make you.
- [CHUCKLES.]
With my heart, you're lucky I'm not stroked out already.
I got to I got to call my wife, let her know I'm okay.
No, I don't think so.
Hey, my family, we're bail bond people.
I don't check in, they'll come looking.
I don't want them involved.
Simple, we just keep this between me and you.
Don't fuck with me.
[PHONE BEEPING.]
[LINE RINGS.]
Hey, sweetie, it's me.
Um, look, Sa Sammy and me, we went to Moe's, and I I shouldn't drive, you know.
No, I'm gonna crash on his couch, and and then, uh I just didn't want you to be worried.
This have anything to do with that bad feeling you had? Of course I'm being smart.
Don't be so surprised.
Okay.
I love you, too.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[LINE CLICKS, PHONE BEEPS.]
Okay? - What if she calls Sammy? - Oh she won't call Sammy.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
What do you want, Sam? Uh, just, uh, letting you know, your your husband and I tied one on.
He's sawing logs on my couch.
I was just going home from work.
I could swing by and pick him up.
Oh, no, there's no need.
Uh, may may as well let him sleep it off.
Well, at least he's safe.
Thanks for taking care of him.
No problem.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Fuck.
Grandma? Grandpa? [SIGHS.]
[REFRIGERATOR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
What, no lecture? What's the point? How do you know that Marius Josipovic Jesus, Carly, will you will you stop? - Will you stop? - No.
No, I won't.
No, there are too many secrets in this family.
If it's not weird shit with Pete, it's something else.
Like what? Like what happened to Mom and Pop? That's not a secret.
What do you call it when two people die and nobody ever talks about it? It almost killed Grandma and Grandpa.
That's that's why nobody ever talks about it.
Every time I come to the farm, I look at that pond, and I see the old tent that Pop and I used to camp out in.
And I I I look in the backyard, and I see Julia and Mom, planting mint, same mint that's there right now.
But you never had that.
Funny thing is, of all of us You're the one that looks just like Mom.
[LIGHT MUSIC.]
Really? God Sometimes it's spooky.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
I just want to know who they were, not the fantasy that everyone built after they died.
Do you remember that day? No.
I picked you up from kindergarten.
I was still in shock.
You were just talking away.
I didn't know what to do, but I just drove around, like as long as we kept driving, they weren't really dead 'Cause I knew as soon as we pulled back into this farm, our lives would never be the same.
Look, Carly life doesn't always go how you're gonna expect.
No.
I'm not in the NHL.
I'm a Bridgeport cop.
It's not what I wanted, but it's not so bad.
At a certain point, we don't get to blame what happens to us on our dead parents.
Carly, you are so smart.
You are so fucking smart.
But you got to decide what you want to do with that.
You keep wasting your time stealing, that leads one way.
You do something rash, it can't always be undone.
And I understand.
I understand wanting to figure out what happened to Mom and Dad.
I did, too.
Last year I got ahold of the police reports.
And? [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Didn't solve any mysteries.
No, the only thing that was weird was the guy who hit them wasn't loaded, like they told us.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
I know this sucks, and I would change it if I could But you should try to remember that you're not the only one hurting.
Julia tried to find my mom after my grandpa had a stroke.
She hired somebody who tracked her to Sedona, and then you guys spooked her.
He picked up her trail again to Buffalo, and then it went cold.
Rosedale's near Buffalo.
That's where she is.
Why is she there? She'd go where her skills would take her.
What skills? You don't know? Cassadaga, New Orleans, Sedona, it's it's what they all have in common.
They're all spiritualist centers.
Psychics, new-age healing.
- Your your mom's psychic? - Yep.
- Like, really psychic? - Yep.
Ask him if she haunts leprechauns on a fucking unicorn.
There's no such thing as really psychic.
- Says who? - Says fucking science! - Tell him it's a con.
- Ah, she always knew what I was gonna do before I did it.
Get the fuck out of here, man.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
She knew you guys were coming, didn't she? Hey, he's right about that.
Unbelievable.
Un-fucking-believable.
[BRAKES SQUEAL.]
[SIREN WAILING IN THE DISTANCE.]
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Where was it? It was right here.
[GROANS.]
Ah, Jesus, do you have to do that? - [SHUSHES.]
Hey.
- [GROANS.]
[SHUSHES.]
You see a nice Caddy parked over here the other day? Yeah? You see what happened to it? [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Cowboy in a black hat.
Huh, what the fuck does that mean, huh? Pig pigtails.
- An Indian maybe.
- Don't fuck with me, hobo.
Wait.
Whoa, whoa.
Hold it, hold it, I think I know what he means.
Good.
No, it's not good.
You want my advice, you'll forget about the damn car.
What makes you think I want your advice? Come on, get in the car.
Let's go.
[TRUCK HORN BLARING IN THE DISTANCE.]
Pete Rosedale Website.
Okay.
List of all registered mediums.
Well, Pete? - She's not there.
- Who's not where? Pete's mom is not on the Rosedale Website.
You could've fucking told us before we drove all night, man.
Well, she she's hiding, right? She's probably not gonna let her picture on a Website.
Don't worry about it.
It's not gonna be a problem.
I'll get there, I'll find her, and I'll call you.
The fuck you will, man.
Yeah, we'll go with you, Pete.
Well, she's seen you already.
If she sees you again, she'll probably run again.
Got a good point there.
Except for one thing she only seen Frank.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
[ROOSTER CROWS IN THE DISTANCE.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[MAN.]
Bring it around back! Carjacking Jews.
Who knew? [GUN CLICKING.]
Hey, hey! Hold it They got 20 armed guards.
We got one gun and an old gimp.
You sure you want to go in hard? What, you think we should wait for the Sabbath? How about waiting for the shot caller? [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[SIGHS.]
Jesus, could this day get any worse? Can I help you? Yeah, you can send someone else over.
I-I'm the only here right now.
[SIGHS.]
Fine.
Can you tell me which courtroom Lance is in today? He's not.
He cleared his cases for a couple weeks, turned 'em all over to Mr.
Johnson.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's just great.
So you have no idea where he is? I-I thought he was taking a vacation with you.
Clearly not.
Ha You're sure he didn't say anything else? That's all I know.
But, you know, we barely speak since uh, well, you know Yes, Trish, I do know.
I'm sorry.
What? I never would've hooked up with Lance if I'd known he was seeing you again.
Honest.
Um, I appreciate that.
It just doesn't change anything.
I know, but I wanted it out there.
Do you mind if I ask what he's done this time? Long story.
Well, I have time.
- At lunch.
- [CHUCKLES.]
And I would have lunch with you why, now? I don't know.
Person's got to eat.
And in the meantime, I'll ask around and see if anyone knows where he is.
[SIGHS.]
[JOE.]
These people are all here to see psychics and fortune tellers? [MARIUS.]
Mediums.
Rosedale's just mediums.
[JOE.]
Ah, those are the ones that talk to the dead? Well, people have been coming here since the Civil War, 20,000 or 30,000 people a year.
Yeah, people are fucking stupid.
Well, if they didn't get what they were looking for, this place would've vanished a long time ago, don't you think? What are they looking for, their granddad's silver? Uh, I don't know.
They just want to be reassured that death isn't the end.
- I don't know.
- It better fucking be.
Hey, let me ask you something.
You're a smart guy.
Why don't you go after $11 million for somebody else? I get paid.
A percentage, but you do all the work.
It's funny.
I feel like maybe I'm getting psychic here.
I got a feeling you're gonna ask me to throw in with you and fuck over my partner and boss.
No, no, no, I'm just saying that $11 million split between me and my mother is a hell of a lot more than a percentage.
That had to have occurred to you, right? Oh, yeah, $11 million, you think of every angle.
The thing is, I like my partner, and I fucking hate you.
So start knocking on doors, 'cause we're running out of time.
You don't just knock on doors in a place like this.
- They protect their own.
- From who? The Wicked Witch of the North? From us.
If they get a whiff that something's off, they're they're gonna shut us out completely.
And it's the Wicked Witch of the West.
What, are you gonna knife me in the fucking street? How you doing? - Brothers who are mediums.
- Yeah.
You don't see that every day.
It's funny, you guys don't look much alike.
Oh, well, Pete was a preemie, sort of the runt of the litter.
All right, well, at least I didn't tip the scales at 16 pounds with a head like a watermelon.
[LAUGHTER.]
Okay, there it is.
- You're definitely brothers.
- Yeah.
So what can I help you with today? Well, Delores, we were thinking about leaving Cassadaga.
Mm, wonderful spiritualist community.
I have many friends there.
- Maybe you know some of them.
- I'm sure we do.
But we we wanted to learn about Rosedale, because anybody who's serious about their calling wants to be here, where the movement began, right? It's a very special place.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
How do we go about setting up shop? It's not easy.
There's a very strict vetting process.
- Sure.
- Background checks, references, tests.
I mean, as you can imagine, this business attracts its share of opportunists and fakes.
- Of course, of course.
- Let anyone in recently? We did.
We're actually at full capacity now.
Anyone we might know or? Raj Vickery, a mystic from Kolkata.
Uh, Ronald Seers, the healer.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys about him.
I actually took his seminar on magnetic healing.
Delores, life altering.
Yes.
Yes.
Mm.
Anyone else? Gladys Norman, a convulsive medium.
- Wonderful woman.
- Gladys Norman.
Uh, how old is she? What's she look like? [TENSE MUSIC.]
I'm sorry.
I didn't catch your name.
Oh, I'm Joe.
Joe.
And what kind of medium are you, Joe? I'm a clairvoyant, Delores.
Clairaudient or clairsentient? [MARIUS.]
He's actually all three clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient.
Really? Mm.
We're gonna take a flyer and, uh, poke around a little bit, but we'll be back later.
Come on.
Holy Christ, you suck at this.
You don't say you're something, unless you know what the fuck you're talking about.
- Oh, shit.
- Gentlemen Yeah? The Rosedale Board would like a word with you.
Can you give us a moment, please? - Sure.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
I got to do this alone.
Otherwise we're blown.
There's no way I'm letting you out of my sight.
Then we don't find my mother.
- Fine, go ahead.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
[JOE.]
Don't be fucking cute.
[DOG BARKING IN THE DISTANCE.]
Hi.
[MOUTHS WORD.]
[THUNDER RUMBLES.]
Well, the rain sure isn't doing us any favors.
Fairfield knew the rain was coming, bagged the evidence fast.
Unlikely we're gonna find anything they didn't.
[SIGHS.]
Nothing like the smell of the woods in the rain.
Smell of white pine during a good storm is one of the best parts of living here.
Actinomycetes.
- Beg your pardon? - Bacteria.
Responsible for the decomp of organic material.
Spores scatter after the rain.
That's that's the good smell.
Oh.
Yeah, if it's all the same to you, I'd prefer to think it's the trees.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
I'm not a city girl, Officer Bowman.
Grew up in a small town, population, 2,000.
Really? Where? [NEW ENGLAND ACCENT.]
Sanbornton, New Hampshire.
You're kidding.
[CHUCKLES.]
Me and my grandpa and my buddies, we we go to Hermit Lake every summer for a week.
I used to go there with my dad before he passed.
I'm sorry.
That was a few years ago.
Now, uh, I go with my brother and his family about once a year.
Out on the lake, it still feels like my dad's there.
It's [CLEARS THROAT.]
Who knows? Maybe our paths crossed.
Jesus, I hope not.
My buddies are a bunch of drunken idiots.
[CHUCKLES.]
What? If this is where the killer caught up to Winslow and rammed him, why are there only one set of tracks? There could've been others.
Maybe the rain washed them away.
No, something big hit that Impala.
Tracks should still be here.
I thought the way we talked it out at the station made sense.
Well, it made sense there, but now we're here, and it doesn't.
Let's see where they lead.
[TAYLOR.]
Hi, you've reached Taylor's phone.
Leave a message.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Uh, Taylor, it's me.
I got a bigger problem than the headlights.
I found paint from Winslow's car deep inside my grill.
I'm not sure I can get it all off.
[CARLY.]
What you doing, Grandma? [PHONE BEEPS.]
Oh, hey.
Hey.
I, uh, drove out to Easton to check on a client.
Rabbit jumped out in front of me.
I'm cleaning the poor thing off.
- Do you need help? - No, no, honey, I got this.
[BRUSH SCRAPING.]
Okay.
But you can keep me company, though.
You know, with everything that's been going on, I haven't even asked how you are.
Okay, I guess.
Must've been terrible, holding a gun on that crooked cop.
You should never have been put in that position.
At least Taylor got there pretty fast, so Thank God for that.
He was really mad.
[CHUCKLES.]
Who? The cop? Taylor.
[SIGHS.]
Honey, you don't think No, I know, it's it's stupid.
It's [LAUGHS.]
No, no, Carly, don't worry.
I know your brother.
There's no way he had anything to do with that man's death.
We don't tolerate charlatans in Rosedale, sir.
People who live and work here are sincere in their commitment to spiritualism.
I want to apologize for my brother.
We, uh, come from a long line of mediums on my mother's side, and, uh uh sometimes I think that the gift unnerves him more than it comforts him.
But I'm different.
Becoming a part of this community has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I would like the opportunity to prove that to you.
Would you? Honey, wheel me closer.
This is Reverend Ethel Landry, one of the supreme I know who Reverend Ethel is.
Every medium does.
It's an honor.
Then why don't you give me a reading? - Now? - Yes.
Do you need to prepare in any way? No, ma'am.
Do you have an affinity in the field of psychology? I'd like to think I do.
Tell me the significance of this ring.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
May I hold it? I'm not sure anyone's reaching out.
Let me try and get help from my spirit guide.
[MOUTHING WORDS.]
I I don't, uh, understand, but, uh, spirit is telling me that this ring has no significance.
Am I right? May I read from that pendant right there? [SLOW DYNAMIC PERCUSSIVE MUSIC.]
There's a very strong energy coming from this necklace.
The spirit is telling me that it belonged to a person of great strength and independence, someone who endured many hardships in their life.
They were, uh, very significant to you.
You own many many pieces of jewelry, but nothing means more than this one.
[WHISPERS.]
Sorry.
This necklace belonged to my grandmother.
She also was a healer.
When she fled the Ukraine during the war, this was the only thing of value she could take.
I know.
And this ring was from a thrift store.
Your spirit guide is perceptive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- I I hope this means - Or Maybe you noticed that the necklace was an antique, guessed that it was handed down from a relative.
The stone is jasper, the healing stone.
An observant person might deduce that it was from a fellow spiritualist.
I can assure you that I only came here to learn.
We'll meet with you again tomorrow, and until then, feel welcome to explore our town.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[TRISH.]
Oh, you know, I've I've wanted to tell you how sorry I am for a while now.
You may not believe it, but it's the first and last time I've ever done anything like that.
Can I just ask you why? I mean, why him? Honestly, I think it's when he came into the office with the kids.
He was so good with them.
It it changed my opinion of him.
He is good with the kids.
And he has the gift of gab.
Oof, that too.
He actually pulled the wool over Audrey's eyes, which is not easy.
Do you know she came to visit me after everything blew up? Really? She never said anything.
She gave me hell.
She said if I ever did it again, she'd kick my ass so hard, I'd be wearing it for a hat.
[LAUGHS.]
Wow.
The woman is full of surprises.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, you know, I need to get back.
Could I please get the check? I forgot to even ask you if you heard anything about Lance.
Oh, my God, yes! Um, Sandy said he called the office.
He's visiting his mother in Florida.
- Florida.
- Mm-hmm.
Huh - Well, thanks.
- [CHUCKLES.]
No problem.
If I hear anything else, I'll let you know.
- Oh.
- Oh, no, let me get the tab.
- No, no, I got it.
- Are you sure? I'm sure.
So, there's two sets of tracks.
This could be where he got hit.
Or I mean, you're from a small town.
You ever go on a field run? Bunch of us would grab a sixer, get in the Jeep, go out and cut doughnuts, tear up a field.
A couple of times, we got chased off by a farmer with a shotgun.
You think this is kids joyriding? I'm just saying it's a possibility.
[BRANCHES RUSTLE.]
Hey, there.
- Afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
I'm Detective Roby.
This is Officer Bowman.
- This your property? - Yes, ma'am.
You here about that dead policeman? We are.
Well, you're in the wrong place.
He died about half a mile back that way.
We know.
We're just canvassing the area.
Have you seen or heard anything unusual the past few days? Always something going on back here poachers, people cutting down my trees, kids running their damn trucks all over my land.
All right, well, if you think of anything, give me a call.
There was a lady out here yesterday.
Said she lost her earring on a hike.
Didn't look like a hiker to me, though.
What did she look like? What you'd call a mature woman.
Had a nasty cut right here.
You take care.
[THUNDER RUMBLES.]
You think that's anything? I don't know.
What is it? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
A detective's shield.
Looks like we're in the middle of a crime scene.
[MOUTHING WORDS.]
[ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
[ENGINE REVVING, TIRES SQUEALING.]
[CAR ALARM BLARING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING.]
[ENGINE REVVING, TIRES SQUEALING.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Oh, my gosh.
- Are you okay? - [GROANS.]
No.
Can I do anything? Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, please.
Would you call the police for me? - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
I-I'm just a little shaken.
My my grand my grandson's a police officer, and he says he says every accident needs to be reported.
Of course.
Hang on.
Hello, police? Yes, I'd like to report an accident.
You hired my father to kill you.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Growing up, I thought he was Blackwater.
When I was a little kid, I thought he was cool.
Teenager, I thought it was a bunch of hoorah bullshit.
Then I found out what he really did, and I was like, "Oh, shit.
" [TENSE MUSIC.]
Did not imagine he'd lose it on a fucking insurance job.
[TOOLS BUZZING.]
Just want to see the rabbi.
What can I do for you, Otto? Oh, Shalom Aleichem, Rabbi Botvinik.
- Aleichem shalom, Otto.
- How's Baruch? Oh.
I thank you for posting the bond and keeping our names out of it.
Well, I'm glad we could help.
Though I assume, since you are broaching the subject, you are here to ask a favor of me.
Ah, I would.
- Just a small one.
- Hmm.
Um, his father's car was stolen, Caddy, east side of Bridgeport.
Good reason to believe it came here.
And what reason is this? A witness saw one of your guys.
His dad just died.
The only thing he has of his old man's is the car.
He he just wants it back.
My son, you have my sympathy, but if the car is here, I own it, fair and square.
Sorry, what? Colin, I said let me handle it! Just ask yourself, can they put a bullet in me before I put one in you? Look, everybody calm down.
Seems to me you got a choice.
Everything goes to shit, people die, or you can give this little prick his car, and we're gone.
- Where's the jacket? - There was no jacket.
My father's jacket was in the car.
- Where the fuck is it? - Did you see a jacket? The car was like that when it came here.
- From where? - Tow truck driver.
Bill Power, shop near Stamford.
So, we, uh we understand you just you just moved here, Mr.
Vickery? - Uh, please, just Raj.
- Sorry.
Yes, three months ago.
It's a very great honor, as they admit so few.
Who else got in with you? My esteemed colleague Ronald Seers, but he was already quite famous, so that was a no-brainer.
Sure.
Yeah.
And then there was Gladys, and, well, you know, everyone likes Gladys, so You like her, huh? Mm, very much, yeah.
She's hot, huh? Yes, she's attractive, but I'm not sure how this is relevant.
We're we're just trying to talk to recent arrivals, like you and Gladys, just to get a feel for the place.
Then I'm afraid Gladys can't help you.
She went back to California almost a month ago.
- What the fuck are you doing? - Are you fucking kidding me? Your mother's been gone a month? We don't know that yet! Then where the fuck is she? We're gonna find out.

Hey, moron! Fucking go! Does anyone here feel a connection to a Christopher? Or maybe a Rose? Rose and Bernie? - Yes! - Yes? Rose and Bernie were my grandparents.
Yes, come.
I I I'm I'm I'm seeing an elderly man and woman, but they're not together.
That that's right.
That's right.
My my grandpa cheated on my grandmother for years, and then just before he passed, he ran off with a French-Canadian woman.
Your grandfather is saying that you were surprised to learn of his death.
Well, we we all were.

She was she was, uh she was destroyed.

- You did? And it was amazing.
I mean, Evan was really struggling up there, and you were so open to his spirit guide.
Oh, well, thank you.
If you're really serious about moving here, we can offer you a temp job.
A lot of the new mediums break in working as assistants to the older ones.
Yeah, I well, I'll consider it.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
Uh, did did you just say "assistants"? Yeah.
[DOOR BELLS JINGLE.]
- Can I help you? - Hi.
Yeah, I I would like to get a reading.
It's after hours.
You'll have to come back tomorrow.
With all due respect, Reverend, I'd like to get a reading from your assistant.
You'll still have to come back.
This is this is really important.
Uh, if she if she reads me now, she stands to learn a lot about her own future.
[MAGGIE.]
I can do it.
- Are you sure? - Ah.
I've got it.
It's no problem.
I can easily just do a quick reading and come right back.
I know you're not here for a reading.
What do you want? Listen, we only have a few minutes.
There's a there's a man outside that wants to kill me.
Yeah, well, I don't know how that affects me.
[CHUCKLES.]
Because he thinks that I'm your son Pete.
Pete's no longer in prison.
[SCOFFS.]
I don't know who you think I am You're you're Maggie Murphy.
Listen, we we don't have time for this, all right? They're they're not they're not just after me.
They're after your whole family, Otto, Audrey, every one of us, and I don't want anything to happen to them either, but it will unless you give back the $11 million you stole.
[SIGHS.]
I I had no idea it was that much.
We never stopped to count it.
Where is it? I don't know.
I thought they got it long ago.
When that guy showed up in Sedona, I thought that was about revenge.
I thought they found it a long time ago.
What? What's your name? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Marius.
You ever been on the run, Marius? My whole life.
Yeah, well, I'm tired of running, and I don't want my family to pay for my mistakes, so I want you to take me to those men.

Oh, you shouldn't have.
I already owe you a lunch.
We should do it soon.
Thank you so much.
Oh, I'm sorry, what are you doing? This is gonna sound crazy, but can I come in? Why? I just have this weird need to see inside your condo.
You know what? That is a little weird.
And now is really not a good time.
- Um hey, you can't just - I thought we were friends.
Can't just come in here like this! [SIGHS.]
Next time she lies for you, at least tell her how much you hate your mother and Florida.
- Julia, I don't - Save it.
You're coming with me.
[CLOCK TICKING.]
Maggie? Maggie? [ETHEL.]
Spirit tells me you'll come in very slowly.
Sit there with your hands visible at all times, or end up gut-shot on the floor.
You're a criminal, aren't you? And you think it's all hogwash, what we do, helping people [CHUCKLES.]
letting their loved ones find peace and move on.
Oh, what a sad prism with which to see the world.
Reverend, uh I would love to debate this with you right now, but there's a man outside who's looking for me.
You mean the one standing in the next room? [RIFLE COCKS.]
Five seconds, I shoot through the wall! [TENSE MUSIC.]
Uh-uh uh I've already loaded a round, son.
I'll blow your head clean off before you can clear your gun.
Not very spiritual, pointing a gun at a man.
[SCOFFS.]
Oh, depends on the man.
Gateway to reformation, never closed for any human soul, here or hereafter, which you will soon discover if you don't put down the gun.
Spirit is telling me something about your brother, not this one, your real brother.
I'm getting that his name starts with a T no, an E.
He is he's missing something.
No, not not not a phone, not a wallet.
Oh my! [CHUCKLES.]
A toe.
How does he come to be missing a toe? Oh, come on, you tell me the story of that toe.

There's no way Wait a minute.
What did she look like? [PETE.]
She's got brown hair.
She's kind of cute.
She came to the door, and she looked at me all weird, and then she tried to look inside the room.
Pete, listen to me.
Get out of there now.
Go out the back window.
Hold on.
Oh, fuck.

How do you know about Marius Josipovic? I know he's in that hotel room.
Oh, is that why you left this in the car? - So you could follow me? - What the fuck, Carly? I just wanted to find out the truth.
And I called you, didn't I? All right, fine, Marius Josipovic is in that hotel room.
Whoop-de-fucking-doo.
You happy? And he's not just some drug addict, is he? No.
No, he's he's my old cellmate.
I didn't want to tell you about it, because I'm not too proud about that time in my life.
Right.
Hanging out with ex-cons, that's how you're gonna turn your life around, Pete? That's a parole violation.
I should arrest you both right now.
Yeah, especially if your friend killed Winslow.
All right, fine, arrest your cousin for violating parole, and arrest Marius for murder, if that's what you think he did.
Come on, Carly.
- Hey, listen, I - Wait.

So you're the asshole who put Moe in the hospital, huh? Well, I offered him an easier way, but he picked the hard one.
We find the car, what then? Car first, questions later.
I didn't kill your father.
- Who did? - I can't tell you.
- I could make you.

With my heart, you're lucky I'm not stroked out already.

No, I won't.
No, there are too many secrets in this family.
If it's not weird shit with Pete, it's something else.
Like what? Like what happened to Mom and Pop? That's not a secret.
What do you call it when two people die and nobody ever talks about it? It almost killed Grandma and Grandpa.
That's that's why nobody ever talks about it.
Every time I come to the farm, I look at that pond, and I see the old tent that Pop and I used to camp out in.
And I I I look in the backyard, and I see Julia and Mom, planting mint, same mint that's there right now.
But you never had that.
Funny thing is, of all of us You're the one that looks just like Mom.
[LIGHT MUSIC.]
Really? God Sometimes it's spooky.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
I just want to know who they were, not the fantasy that everyone built after they died.
Do you remember that day? No.
I picked you up from kindergarten.
I was still in shock.
You were just talking away.
I didn't know what to do, but I just drove around, like as long as we kept driving, they weren't really dead 'Cause I knew as soon as we pulled back into this farm, our lives would never be the same.
Look, Carly life doesn't always go how you're gonna expect.
No.
I'm not in the NHL.
I'm a Bridgeport cop.
It's not what I wanted, but it's not so bad.
At a certain point, we don't get to blame what happens to us on our dead parents.
Carly, you are so smart.
You are so fucking smart.
But you got to decide what you want to do with that.
You keep wasting your time stealing, that leads one way.
You do something rash, it can't always be undone.
And I understand.
I understand wanting to figure out what happened to Mom and Dad.
I did, too.
Last year I got ahold of the police reports.
And? [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
Didn't solve any mysteries.
No, the only thing that was weird was the guy who hit them wasn't loaded, like they told us.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
I know this sucks, and I would change it if I could But you should try to remember that you're not the only one hurting.
Julia tried to find my mom after my grandpa had a stroke.
She hired somebody who tracked her to Sedona, and then you guys spooked her.
He picked up her trail again to Buffalo, and then it went cold.
Rosedale's near Buffalo.
That's where she is.
Why is she there? She'd go where her skills would take her.
What skills? You don't know? Cassadaga, New Orleans, Sedona, it's it's what they all have in common.
They're all spiritualist centers.
Psychics, new-age healing.
- Your your mom's psychic? - Yep.
- Like, really psychic? - Yep.
Ask him if she haunts leprechauns on a fucking unicorn.
There's no such thing as really psychic.
- Says who? - Says fucking science! - Tell him it's a con.
- Ah, she always knew what I was gonna do before I did it.
Get the fuck out of here, man.

You could've fucking told us before we drove all night, man.
Well, she she's hiding, right? She's probably not gonna let her picture on a Website.
Don't worry about it.
It's not gonna be a problem.
I'll get there, I'll find her, and I'll call you.
The fuck you will, man.
Yeah, we'll go with you, Pete.

I-I'm the only here right now.

Fine.
Can you tell me which courtroom Lance is in today? He's not.
He cleared his cases for a couple weeks, turned 'em all over to Mr.
Johnson.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's just great.
So you have no idea where he is? I-I thought he was taking a vacation with you.
Clearly not.
Ha You're sure he didn't say anything else? That's all I know.
But, you know, we barely speak since uh, well, you know Yes, Trish, I do know.
I'm sorry.
What? I never would've hooked up with Lance if I'd known he was seeing you again.
Honest.
Um, I appreciate that.
It just doesn't change anything.
I know, but I wanted it out there.
Do you mind if I ask what he's done this time? Long story.
Well, I have time.
- At lunch.
- [CHUCKLES.]
And I would have lunch with you why, now? I don't know.
Person's got to eat.
And in the meantime, I'll ask around and see if anyone knows where he is.
[SIGHS.]
[JOE.]
These people are all here to see psychics and fortune tellers? [MARIUS.]
Mediums.
Rosedale's just mediums.
[JOE.]
Ah, those are the ones that talk to the dead? Well, people have been coming here since the Civil War, 20,000 or 30,000 people a year.
Yeah, people are fucking stupid.
Well, if they didn't get what they were looking for, this place would've vanished a long time ago, don't you think? What are they looking for, their granddad's silver? Uh, I don't know.
They just want to be reassured that death isn't the end.
- I don't know.
- It better fucking be.
Hey, let me ask you something.
You're a smart guy.
Why don't you go after $11 million for somebody else? I get paid.
A percentage, but you do all the work.
It's funny.
I feel like maybe I'm getting psychic here.
I got a feeling you're gonna ask me to throw in with you and fuck over my partner and boss.
No, no, no, I'm just saying that $11 million split between me and my mother is a hell of a lot more than a percentage.
That had to have occurred to you, right? Oh, yeah, $11 million, you think of every angle.
The thing is, I like my partner, and I fucking hate you.
So start knocking on doors, 'cause we're running out of time.
You don't just knock on doors in a place like this.
- They protect their own.
- From who? The Wicked Witch of the North? From us.
If they get a whiff that something's off, they're they're gonna shut us out completely.
And it's the Wicked Witch of the West.
What, are you gonna knife me in the fucking street? How you doing? - Brothers who are mediums.
- Yeah.
You don't see that every day.
It's funny, you guys don't look much alike.
Oh, well, Pete was a preemie, sort of the runt of the litter.
All right, well, at least I didn't tip the scales at 16 pounds with a head like a watermelon.
[LAUGHTER.]
Okay, there it is.
- You're definitely brothers.
- Yeah.
So what can I help you with today? Well, Delores, we were thinking about leaving Cassadaga.
Mm, wonderful spiritualist community.
I have many friends there.
- Maybe you know some of them.
- I'm sure we do.
But we we wanted to learn about Rosedale, because anybody who's serious about their calling wants to be here, where the movement began, right? It's a very special place.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
How do we go about setting up shop? It's not easy.
There's a very strict vetting process.
- Sure.
- Background checks, references, tests.
I mean, as you can imagine, this business attracts its share of opportunists and fakes.
- Of course, of course.
- Let anyone in recently? We did.
We're actually at full capacity now.
Anyone we might know or? Raj Vickery, a mystic from Kolkata.
Uh, Ronald Seers, the healer.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys about him.
I actually took his seminar on magnetic healing.
Delores, life altering.
Yes.
Yes.
Mm.
Anyone else? Gladys Norman, a convulsive medium.
- Wonderful woman.
- Gladys Norman.
Uh, how old is she? What's she look like? [TENSE MUSIC.]
I'm sorry.
I didn't catch your name.
Oh, I'm Joe.
Joe.
And what kind of medium are you, Joe? I'm a clairvoyant, Delores.
Clairaudient or clairsentient? [MARIUS.]
He's actually all three clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient.
Really? Mm.
We're gonna take a flyer and, uh, poke around a little bit, but we'll be back later.
Come on.
Holy Christ, you suck at this.
You don't say you're something, unless you know what the fuck you're talking about.
- Oh, shit.
- Gentlemen Yeah? The Rosedale Board would like a word with you.
Can you give us a moment, please? - Sure.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
I got to do this alone.
Otherwise we're blown.
There's no way I'm letting you out of my sight.
Then we don't find my mother.
- Fine, go ahead.
- Thank you.
Thank you.

Unlikely we're gonna find anything they didn't.

Nothing like the smell of the woods in the rain.
Smell of white pine during a good storm is one of the best parts of living here.
Actinomycetes.
- Beg your pardon? - Bacteria.
Responsible for the decomp of organic material.
Spores scatter after the rain.
That's that's the good smell.
Oh.
Yeah, if it's all the same to you, I'd prefer to think it's the trees.

You're kidding.
[CHUCKLES.]
Me and my grandpa and my buddies, we we go to Hermit Lake every summer for a week.
I used to go there with my dad before he passed.
I'm sorry.
That was a few years ago.
Now, uh, I go with my brother and his family about once a year.
Out on the lake, it still feels like my dad's there.
It's [CLEARS THROAT.]

Jesus, I hope not.
My buddies are a bunch of drunken idiots.
[CHUCKLES.]
What? If this is where the killer caught up to Winslow and rammed him, why are there only one set of tracks? There could've been others.
Maybe the rain washed them away.
No, something big hit that Impala.
Tracks should still be here.
I thought the way we talked it out at the station made sense.
Well, it made sense there, but now we're here, and it doesn't.
Let's see where they lead.
[TAYLOR.]
Hi, you've reached Taylor's phone.
Leave a message.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Uh, Taylor, it's me.
I got a bigger problem than the headlights.
I found paint from Winslow's car deep inside my grill.
I'm not sure I can get it all off.
[CARLY.]
What you doing, Grandma? [PHONE BEEPS.]
Oh, hey.
Hey.
I, uh, drove out to Easton to check on a client.
Rabbit jumped out in front of me.
I'm cleaning the poor thing off.
- Do you need help? - No, no, honey, I got this.
[BRUSH SCRAPING.]
Okay.
But you can keep me company, though.
You know, with everything that's been going on, I haven't even asked how you are.
Okay, I guess.
Must've been terrible, holding a gun on that crooked cop.
You should never have been put in that position.
At least Taylor got there pretty fast, so Thank God for that.
He was really mad.
[CHUCKLES.]
Who? The cop? Taylor.
[SIGHS.]
Honey, you don't think No, I know, it's it's stupid.
It's [LAUGHS.]
No, no, Carly, don't worry.
I know your brother.
There's no way he had anything to do with that man's death.
We don't tolerate charlatans in Rosedale, sir.
People who live and work here are sincere in their commitment to spiritualism.
I want to apologize for my brother.
We, uh, come from a long line of mediums on my mother's side, and, uh uh sometimes I think that the gift unnerves him more than it comforts him.
But I'm different.
Becoming a part of this community has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I would like the opportunity to prove that to you.
Would you? Honey, wheel me closer.
This is Reverend Ethel Landry, one of the supreme I know who Reverend Ethel is.
Every medium does.
It's an honor.
Then why don't you give me a reading? - Now? - Yes.
Do you need to prepare in any way? No, ma'am.
Do you have an affinity in the field of psychology? I'd like to think I do.
Tell me the significance of this ring.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
May I hold it? I'm not sure anyone's reaching out.
Let me try and get help from my spirit guide.
[MOUTHING WORDS.]
I I don't, uh, understand, but, uh, spirit is telling me that this ring has no significance.
Am I right? May I read from that pendant right there? [SLOW DYNAMIC PERCUSSIVE MUSIC.]
There's a very strong energy coming from this necklace.
The spirit is telling me that it belonged to a person of great strength and independence, someone who endured many hardships in their life.
They were, uh, very significant to you.
You own many many pieces of jewelry, but nothing means more than this one.
[WHISPERS.]
Sorry.
This necklace belonged to my grandmother.
She also was a healer.
When she fled the Ukraine during the war, this was the only thing of value she could take.
I know.
And this ring was from a thrift store.
Your spirit guide is perceptive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- I I hope this means - Or Maybe you noticed that the necklace was an antique, guessed that it was handed down from a relative.
The stone is jasper, the healing stone.
An observant person might deduce that it was from a fellow spiritualist.
I can assure you that I only came here to learn.
We'll meet with you again tomorrow, and until then, feel welcome to explore our town.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[TRISH.]
Oh, you know, I've I've wanted to tell you how sorry I am for a while now.
You may not believe it, but it's the first and last time I've ever done anything like that.
Can I just ask you why? I mean, why him? Honestly, I think it's when he came into the office with the kids.
He was so good with them.
It it changed my opinion of him.
He is good with the kids.
And he has the gift of gab.
Oof, that too.
He actually pulled the wool over Audrey's eyes, which is not easy.
Do you know she came to visit me after everything blew up? Really? She never said anything.
She gave me hell.
She said if I ever did it again, she'd kick my ass so hard, I'd be wearing it for a hat.
[LAUGHS.]
Wow.
The woman is full of surprises.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, you know, I need to get back.
Could I please get the check? I forgot to even ask you if you heard anything about Lance.
Oh, my God, yes! Um, Sandy said he called the office.
He's visiting his mother in Florida.
- Florida.
- Mm-hmm.
Huh - Well, thanks.
- [CHUCKLES.]
No problem.
If I hear anything else, I'll let you know.
- Oh.
- Oh, no, let me get the tab.
- No, no, I got it.
- Are you sure? I'm sure.
So, there's two sets of tracks.
This could be where he got hit.
Or I mean, you're from a small town.
You ever go on a field run? Bunch of us would grab a sixer, get in the Jeep, go out and cut doughnuts, tear up a field.
A couple of times, we got chased off by a farmer with a shotgun.
You think this is kids joyriding? I'm just saying it's a possibility.
[BRANCHES RUSTLE.]
Hey, there.
- Afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
I'm Detective Roby.
This is Officer Bowman.
- This your property? - Yes, ma'am.
You here about that dead policeman? We are.
Well, you're in the wrong place.
He died about half a mile back that way.
We know.
We're just canvassing the area.
Have you seen or heard anything unusual the past few days? Always something going on back here poachers, people cutting down my trees, kids running their damn trucks all over my land.
All right, well, if you think of anything, give me a call.
There was a lady out here yesterday.
Said she lost her earring on a hike.
Didn't look like a hiker to me, though.
What did she look like? What you'd call a mature woman.
Had a nasty cut right here.
You take care.
[THUNDER RUMBLES.]
You think that's anything? I don't know.
What is it? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
A detective's shield.
Looks like we're in the middle of a crime scene.
[MOUTHING WORDS.]
[ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
[ENGINE REVVING, TIRES SQUEALING.]
[CAR ALARM BLARING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING.]
[ENGINE REVVING, TIRES SQUEALING.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Oh, my gosh.
- Are you okay? - [GROANS.]
No.
Can I do anything? Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, please.
Would you call the police for me? - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
I-I'm just a little shaken.
My my grand my grandson's a police officer, and he says he says every accident needs to be reported.
Of course.
Hang on.
Hello, police? Yes, I'd like to report an accident.
You hired my father to kill you.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Growing up, I thought he was Blackwater.
When I was a little kid, I thought he was cool.
Teenager, I thought it was a bunch of hoorah bullshit.
Then I found out what he really did, and I was like, "Oh, shit.
" [TENSE MUSIC.]
Did not imagine he'd lose it on a fucking insurance job.
[TOOLS BUZZING.]
Just want to see the rabbi.
What can I do for you, Otto? Oh, Shalom Aleichem, Rabbi Botvinik.
- Aleichem shalom, Otto.
- How's Baruch? Oh.
I thank you for posting the bond and keeping our names out of it.
Well, I'm glad we could help.
Though I assume, since you are broaching the subject, you are here to ask a favor of me.
Ah, I would.
- Just a small one.
- Hmm.
Um, his father's car was stolen, Caddy, east side of Bridgeport.
Good reason to believe it came here.
And what reason is this? A witness saw one of your guys.
His dad just died.
The only thing he has of his old man's is the car.
He he just wants it back.
My son, you have my sympathy, but if the car is here, I own it, fair and square.
Sorry, what? Colin, I said let me handle it! Just ask yourself, can they put a bullet in me before I put one in you? Look, everybody calm down.
Seems to me you got a choice.
Everything goes to shit, people die, or you can give this little prick his car, and we're gone.
- Where's the jacket? - There was no jacket.
My father's jacket was in the car.
- Where the fuck is it? - Did you see a jacket? The car was like that when it came here.
- From where? - Tow truck driver.
Bill Power, shop near Stamford.
So, we, uh we understand you just you just moved here, Mr.
Vickery? - Uh, please, just Raj.
- Sorry.
Yes, three months ago.
It's a very great honor, as they admit so few.
Who else got in with you? My esteemed colleague Ronald Seers, but he was already quite famous, so that was a no-brainer.
Sure.
Yeah.
And then there was Gladys, and, well, you know, everyone likes Gladys, so You like her, huh? Mm, very much, yeah.
She's hot, huh? Yes, she's attractive, but I'm not sure how this is relevant.
We're we're just trying to talk to recent arrivals, like you and Gladys, just to get a feel for the place.
Then I'm afraid Gladys can't help you.
She went back to California almost a month ago.
- What the fuck are you doing? - Are you fucking kidding me? Your mother's been gone a month? We don't know that yet! Then where the fuck is she? We're gonna find out.
I don't know.
You fucking gambled, and you lost.
- We're done here.
- I'm gonna find her! Okay, we we don't we don't know Listen, listen, you know what, fuck all this.
I'm gonna take you to the storage, and I'll give you to Luka, and whatever the fuck he does with you, that's up to him.
Get to walking.
[EXCITING ROCK MUSIC.]
[MAN.]
Hey, moron! Fucking go! Does anyone here feel a connection to a Christopher? Or maybe a Rose? Rose and Bernie? - Yes! - Yes? Rose and Bernie were my grandparents.
Yes, come.
I I I'm I'm I'm seeing an elderly man and woman, but they're not together.
That that's right.
That's right.
My my grandpa cheated on my grandmother for years, and then just before he passed, he ran off with a French-Canadian woman.
Your grandfather is saying that you were surprised to learn of his death.
Well, we we all were.
- We all were.
- Yes, and I don't know why, but he's bringing your mother in, too.
She was she was, uh she was destroyed.
She was Yes, well, he wants you to know, it's all right.
He knows you would've been there if you could.
Well, this is the first time I feel like I've ever had closure.
[APPLAUSE.]
Group hug! [ECSTATIC CHATTER.]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
- I saw what you did.
- You did? And it was amazing.
I mean, Evan was really struggling up there, and you were so open to his spirit guide.
Oh, well, thank you.
If you're really serious about moving here, we can offer you a temp job.
A lot of the new mediums break in working as assistants to the older ones.
Yeah, I well, I'll consider it.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
Uh, did did you just say "assistants"? Yeah.
[DOOR BELLS JINGLE.]
- Can I help you? - Hi.
Yeah, I I would like to get a reading.
It's after hours.
You'll have to come back tomorrow.
With all due respect, Reverend, I'd like to get a reading from your assistant.
You'll still have to come back.
This is this is really important.
Uh, if she if she reads me now, she stands to learn a lot about her own future.
[MAGGIE.]
I can do it.
- Are you sure? - Ah.
I've got it.
It's no problem.
I can easily just do a quick reading and come right back.
I know you're not here for a reading.
What do you want? Listen, we only have a few minutes.
There's a there's a man outside that wants to kill me.
Yeah, well, I don't know how that affects me.
[CHUCKLES.]
Because he thinks that I'm your son Pete.
Pete's no longer in prison.
[SCOFFS.]
I don't know who you think I am You're you're Maggie Murphy.
Listen, we we don't have time for this, all right? They're they're not they're not just after me.
They're after your whole family, Otto, Audrey, every one of us, and I don't want anything to happen to them either, but it will unless you give back the $11 million you stole.
[SIGHS.]
I I had no idea it was that much.
We never stopped to count it.
Where is it? I don't know.
I thought they got it long ago.
When that guy showed up in Sedona, I thought that was about revenge.
I thought they found it a long time ago.
What? What's your name? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Marius.
You ever been on the run, Marius? My whole life.
Yeah, well, I'm tired of running, and I don't want my family to pay for my mistakes, so I want you to take me to those men.
Okay, we should talk about this.
Uh, well, I'm I'm I'm gonna square away Ethel, and then we're gonna go.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
[DOG BARKS IN THE DISTANCE.]
Julia! To what do I owe the pleasure? Oh, just a little thank-you gift for lunch and for finding out Lance is in Florida.
Oh, you shouldn't have.
I already owe you a lunch.
We should do it soon.
Thank you so much.
Oh, I'm sorry, what are you doing? This is gonna sound crazy, but can I come in? Why? I just have this weird need to see inside your condo.
You know what? That is a little weird.
And now is really not a good time.
- Um hey, you can't just - I thought we were friends.
Can't just come in here like this! [SIGHS.]
Next time she lies for you, at least tell her how much you hate your mother and Florida.
- Julia, I don't - Save it.
You're coming with me.
[CLOCK TICKING.]
Maggie? Maggie? [ETHEL.]
Spirit tells me you'll come in very slowly.
Sit there with your hands visible at all times, or end up gut-shot on the floor.
You're a criminal, aren't you? And you think it's all hogwash, what we do, helping people [CHUCKLES.]
letting their loved ones find peace and move on.
Oh, what a sad prism with which to see the world.
Reverend, uh I would love to debate this with you right now, but there's a man outside who's looking for me.
You mean the one standing in the next room? [RIFLE COCKS.]
Five seconds, I shoot through the wall! [TENSE MUSIC.]
Uh-uh uh I've already loaded a round, son.
I'll blow your head clean off before you can clear your gun.
Not very spiritual, pointing a gun at a man.
[SCOFFS.]
Oh, depends on the man.
Gateway to reformation, never closed for any human soul, here or hereafter, which you will soon discover if you don't put down the gun.
Spirit is telling me something about your brother, not this one, your real brother.
I'm getting that his name starts with a T no, an E.
He is he's missing something.
No, not not not a phone, not a wallet.
Oh my! [CHUCKLES.]
A toe.
How does he come to be missing a toe? Oh, come on, you tell me the story of that toe.
[ WAR: "ME AND BABY BROTHER".]
Ugh Me and baby brother Used to run together Me and baby brother Used to run together Yeah, eh, eh, eh Shifting on his mind is like drinking funky wine By the river Chipping on his mind is like drinking funky wine By the river Me and baby brother Used to run together Me and baby brother Used to run together Shot down baby brother Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And they call it law and order Yeah, eh, eh, eh
