Saint Kateri,
the patron saint
of the environment.
I've said this to you before.
I'm worried about you.
Molly became
my mother overnight.
She had to step up
because she knew
my parents were useless.
About the case,
they had a party that night,
and someone
left a red coat behind.
Remember that homicide case
you worked?
- Theater guy, unsolved.
- Mm-hmm.
Anna, I've been looking into
your husband's murder.
What?
Jeremiah Paulson
is pressuring me
to sell him my land.
If I had known you were
gonna get this jacked,
I wouldn't have dumped you.
Wanna be my field geologist
assistant?

[knocking at front door]
[panting in pain]
What the hell happened?!
I-I was at the river,
collecting more samples
because--
[groans in pain]
The first result,
i-it was inconclusive.
And I heard a shot, and I--
I called out
to let them know
I was there, but--
We need to get you
to a hospital right now.
No, no, no, no.
No hospital.
I don't have insurance.
Can you help me?
You could have nerve
or muscle damage.
It's fine.
I'm fine.
Look, see, it's--
It really looks
a whole lot worse than it is.
- Jesse
- [groans]
Anna, either you help me,
or I leave
and look after it myself.
It's already started to clot,
so likely didn't hit an artery.
Let me get my supplies.
[phone buzzing]
Hi, this is Anna Pigeon.
Leave a message.
Hey, Anna.
I hope you're good.
I, um, I-I'm back in New York.
I know how you
feel about that.
So, uh, hit me up
so we can talk.
You know, some people
use their vacation days
to actually take a vacation.
[chuckling]
Tenant's moving out,
so we got a little window
to work.
You wanted to be in the room
where it happened?
Here we are.
♪
Looks like it went through
to the other side.
You need antibiotics.
Who knows what's in that river.
You know, it's fine, really.
I-I'm feeling
a whole lot better already.
I'm glad you came to me,
even though
- You-You rejected me?
- I didn't reject you.
- Eh, agree to disagree.
- [winces in pain]
Me and my sister
used to do this thing
when we would overstep
or piss the other one off,
we would say "Erase, erase",
and pretend like
it never happened.
So you wanna go back to
the way things were
before I opened my big mouth
and asked to move in together?
[knocking at front door]
Come in.
You know, I didn't expect
balloons and streamers,
but you could've at least
opened the door for me.
Hi, Molly.
Sorry, I was a little,
um, distracted.
- Hi.
- Uh, Molly, this is Jesse.
Why is Jesse in your kitchen
and not in an emergency room?
- I'm not goin' to the hospital.
- He doesn't have insurance.
[Molly sighs]
It was an accident that
happened in Whitetail River.
Or maybe it was on purpose.
Uh, I don't--
- I'm-I'm not really sure.
- You can't dress this.
There's still fibers
from his shirt in the wound.
- That's what these are for.
- Anna is an EMT.
- But I'm an actual MD.
- Mm-hmm.
And maybe if he got shot
in the psyche,
your expertise
would be more valid.
My expertise can
write prescriptions.
So why don't you get me
the nearest pharmacy
on the phone
Please.
[stifled chuckle]
People regularly get shot
on purpose or by accident
in this park, where my sister
has chosen to live and work?
- I can hear you.
- [Jesse chuckles]
You two always like this?
- Yes.
- Yes.
You know, I've never seen
anyone boss Anna around before.
I'm just playing into her
super firstborn child syndrome.
I see that you're finally
reading those self help books
- I sent you.
- Over to you, Dr. Pigeon.
[Molly sighs]
Hey okay.
[Jesse laughs]
- Your sister seems nice.
- [laughs]
Um, me and my sister
just need to
go out for a little bit.
Is that okay?
Yeah, I-I just need a rest.
I'm gonna call Zoey and see
if she can come stay with you.
Thank you.
Seeing you at the door,
all bloody
I'm okay.
For real.
♪
Drugs will be here in an hour.
Oh, great.
Um, change of plans.
He's gonna rest and you and me
are gonna go for a little hike.
Uh, bathroom's down the hall
if you wanna change.
I'll take my phone.
Okay.
Change of plans.
Got it.
I need you to drop me a pin
of exactly where you were
when you got shot.
What happened to your back?
Oh, just a
climbing accident.
Nothing a little vitamin D cream
won't fix.
Come on, let's hit the trail.
Jesse seems open
and uncomplicated.
I get the sense that
those are red flags for you.
Because those are things
that I am not.
You don't think that you guys
can have a deeper connection
because you've been through
more than he has.
That's one worry.
Do you know
what he's been through?
No.
When I call you,
do I ask about your problems
or do I just start
rambling about mine?
One of my patients told me
this about parenting--
No matter how good your life is,
you're only as happy
as your saddest child.
I'm your saddest child?
Jeez, that's depressing.
All I mean is
no matter what stress
I'm dealing with,
I sleep well at night
knowing that you're okay.
- I do love you, Dr. Pigeon.
- I love you too, Ranger Pigeon.
- We gotta go this way.
- Hang on.
Whitetail River?
I thought
you brought me out here
to show me that
the park is pretty and peaceful.
Not scary.
But you're working,
aren't you?
Yeah, but you already said
"I love you",
- and there's no take backs.
- [chuckles mischievously]
Little shit!
Jesse was standing
in the river facing south.
And then he heard the shots
coming from the east.
So we gotta go look for
shell casings over there.
- Oh, no.
- Fine.
Actually, wait.
Do this!
- Stay there.
- Seriously?
♪
- I'm bored.
- When this is over,
I promise you the best bottle
of red wine I can find.
- [chuckles]
- Make that two bottles, over.
- Someone made a hunting blind.
- So a hunter shot him?
Hunting's illegal in the park.
Maybe it was another poacher.
Or maybe someone
was waiting for Jesse
and shot him on purpose.
♪
[traffic noises]
They had a big party
to celebrate
the victim's opening night.
- Yeah, he played Hamlet.
- Yep.
I don't know
if that's a bad omen.
Anyways, best theory I had was
after the party,
the wife went to the bar
with the sister.
The husband was alone.
Someone came in, but
But he was stabbed with
a knife from this kitchen.
What kind of burglar
comes empty handed?
Huh. Someone who wasn't
planning it,
walked by and noticed that
the door was unlocked.
And slips in and out,
your arms full of stuff
you can sell.
Nothing was taken
except the husband's wallet.
There is the wife.
She admitted they had a fight
after the party.
Molly corroborated her story.
And we have the bar tab
to prove it.
Heard you, uh, finally
let yourself get promoted, too.
Laying down roots in a little
field office in Montana.
That have anything to do
with the widow?
I'm here because
Anna deserves peace.
And I want to help her if I can,
thank you very much.
Or you want to put
the ghost Zach Redhill to bed
so you can step into his place.
We have a connection.
I don't have to do this
to make her like me.
I hope you're right.
Because if you open this up
for her,
she might end up
hating you instead.
This is actually
my favorite spring class.
It's called
Sensory Exploration,
and it's where we teach the kids
how to use their senses
like wild animals.
[laughing]
It's actually hilarious.
Super cute.
He's training another
seasonal ranger for next summer.
- His replacement.
- [laughing in distance]
- I hate his replacement.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hi.
- Hey!
Manny doesn't wanna make a fuss,
so best to keep the news quiet.
- Yeah.
- [Geoff blows noisemaker]
Manny, we're sad to hear
that you're moving on,
but please enjoy
this sheet cake
as a symbol
of our appreciation.
- So much for low-key.
- Thank you.
I-- It's been wonderful
working with all of you here.
- You're leaving?
- You're supposed to be off.
Isn't your sister visiting?
Molly Pigeon,
unwilling sidekick.
Uh, everyone,
this is my sister, Molly.
She's visiting from New York.
You gave your notice?
You're not leaving,
so I guess I am.
What?
- Come with me.
- Who's that?
Manny
Hey, everyone,
can I get your attention
for a second, please?
While Jesse was collecting
more sediment samples
down at Whitetail River,
where we found
all those dead fish,
- he was shot.
- [gasps]
- Oh, my gosh, Is he okay?
- Uh, so far.
I think whoever
contaminated the river shot him.
The river runs
right through the park.
I could really use
everybody's help
- in figuring this out.
- You know what?
I'm gonna browse
the gift shop
until you're done
playing Nancy Drew.
This time of year,
near the river,
a lot of the Blackfoot aunties,
they forage the rose hips.
Maybe Zoey could sniff around,
see if anyone saw anything.
I can check
the trail cams along the river,
see if they caught any hunters.
I'll pull names of people
who applied for
a fishing permit in that area.
Maybe one of them
could be a witness.
Great, and I'll look
into companies
that are working upstream.
If there's bad water,
maybe one of them
is responsible.
Thank you, guys.
I appreciate it.
How much is this hat?
45.99.
Tag's right there on the rim.
Right.
Can you imagine getting shot
in a national park?
You don't have to worry,
Molly.
The park is generally very safe.
Can we talk about your use
of the word "generally"?
Things do happen.
We are in the wild,
after all.
I'm just happy you're here.
Anna could really use
some family support.
Like that thing
that happened with Manny?
Yeah, we were all
really worried after
what happened with Bethany.
- I know!
- It was awful
Zoey just called.
It's Jesse.
♪
He's got a rank fever.
- Let me see his arm.
- That's a bad rash.
It's infected.
Let's get him up.
I need your help, okay?
We're gonna get you
in the truck.
[Jesse mumbling incoherently]
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm not gonna let
anything happen to you.
What can I do?
Maybe follow up
with Frieda,
see if anyone got eyes
on the shooter.
Okay.
Thanks, Zoey.
Thank you so much.
[siren blaring]
Does Mr. Fields
have any allergies?
Uh, I don't know.
I'm-- His name's not Fields.
It's Garland.
That's not what
his ID says.
Wait, what?
Are you allergic
to any antibiotics?
I-I don't--
I don't remember.
- We can't wait.
- 4.5 Grams of IV pip-tazo.
- Mixing that up now.
- He's allergic to penicillin.
Get him
some meropenum instead.
- What happened?
- I'm sorry, who are you?
Taryn Wu. I must still be
his emergency contact.
How's that possible?
I've never even heard of you.
I have no idea who you are,
so I guess we're even.
You can't both be in here.
Yeah, um
Uh, you stay.
You have the answers
they need anyway.
I'm gonna get back to work.
I'll be back, okay?
Yeah, thank you.
There's a woman
in there with Jesse.
Yeah, I saw her walk in.
I need you to keep
an eye on her.
I don't know her.
I don't trust her.
Anna, come on.
Molly, please.
I wouldn't be asking you
if it wasn't important.
- [sighs]
- Okay.
Where are you going?
I gotta go
check in at work.
I'll be back soon.
Thank you.
[gym chatter]
[door opening]
Hey, guys.
Darren, Koko.
I know y'all were out
foraging rosehips
in the park this morning.
It helps Auntie with
her blood sugar.
And it's our right!
It is, but I also know
that your auntie
told you guys not to go
without her.
Don't tell her, Zoey.
A friend of mine was shot
right where you guys were,
and he's in real bad shape.
So I need to know
if any of you guys
saw anyone with a gun.
I saw a man.
Tall, white, and gold.
And green.
Had a big gun, too.
Can you draw it?
[Buddy whines]
Oh, what's Buddy
doing here?
I took him out to our land
for a runabout this morning
and he started acting weird.
Wanted to keep an eye on him
while Yasmina's away.
Christina didn't find
anything on trail cams.
Fishing permits
are a dead end, too.
We have
an office dog today?
Two kids saw
a tall, white dude
running from the river
after the gunshots.
Big old rifle slung
over his shoulder.
Left this on his back.
I've seen that backpack.
I need to use
your computer.
What was the name of the--?
It was, um
Something Vert.
It was No
Newark, Nobu
Nova!
Nova Vert.
That's the company Jesse used
to test those first samples.
Someone from this company
shot Jesse.
[intercom chatter]
You're the best big sister
in the whole world.
And I love you very much.
You left me here
all night.
I know, I'm sorry.
I was at the ranger station
digging into the shooter.
Before I knew it,
it was morning.
Here.
[groans]
Well, Jesse's stable.
The drugs seem to be working.
Taryn's actually the one
that gave me the update.
Don't you think
it's a little weird?
Jesse gets shot
right around the same time
this random woman shows up?
Well, she's not random.
She's his ex-girlfriend.
They lived together
for a bit in college.
She's in the area working on
an environmental impact study
for a new development.
Well, I didn't realize
you were besties.
You asked me
to keep an eye on her.
No, you know what?
This is great.
If she likes you,
then you can shrink her
and we can find out
who shot Jesse.
I took an oath
to help people,
not to play
Scooby Doo with you.
Fine.
You didn't just do that.
Thought you could use
a real coffee this morning.
Won't say no.
I didn't introduce
myself before.
I'm Jesse's friend,
Anna Pigeon.
And I am
Jesse's friend, Taryn.
- How's he doing?
- Good.
Nurse just changed
his dressing.
I think someone from
your company shot Jesse.
But maybe that's
not a surprise.
Maybe you know
exactly who did it.
Wow, okay.
I-I get that
he's your friend.
Or maybe more,
I don't know.
And he's hurt, so you're
not thinking clearly.
I saw your Nova Vert truck
parked in the parking lot.
Do all employees drive
company vehicles?
Okay, first of all,
I would never hurt Jesse.
And second of all,
in the these parts?
Yeah.
The weather is rough.
We do a lot of site visits
that are off the beaten path.
I mean, no one wants
to trash their own car.
Do all of them have
GPS trackers inside?
You're gonna need a warrant
if you want to know
which company trucks
were in the area
where Jesse was shot.
Not if you do it for me.
I can't do that.
I am just an analyst.
Do you still love him?
You have
some balls on you.
So you do.
I could use your help,
for Jesse's sake.
I'll make some calls.
Okay.
Okay, so what about
the red coat
that was left behind
after the party?
Who wants to tell a widow,
"Hey, sorry about
your husband's murder,
but, uh, can I get
my coat real quick?"
It was 32 degrees
that night.
No matter how drunk I am,
I get outside
and I feel that cold snap,
I'm going right back up
to that party to get my coat.
[phone buzzing]
Hey.
Hi, I haven't listened
to your voice message yet.
- What's up?
- I'm with Detective Fontaine.
We were at your
old apartment yesterday.
Anna, just say the word
and I'll head back
to the airport.
I don't wanna push this
if it's gonna hurt you.
I trust you.
I have to go.
What if Red Coat Lady
didn't leave the party?
Oh, yeah, sure,
she stayed all night.
She let Anna leave
with the coat,
and then I guess
she just watched
as Mr. Redhill was murdered
and, uh, borrowed
his coat and left.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, hey, hey.
I think you're
onto something.
- I am?
- Yeah.
Anna said in her statement
that Zach sometimes
left his wallet
in his pocket.
Say your thing again.
Red Coat Lady comes
to the party,
hangs her coat,
passes out.
- Or hides.
- Or hides!
While Anna and Zach fight.
Then Anna takes
the red coat, storms off
while Zach gets murdered.
Yeah, and then
she goes to leave
and realizes that
her coat is gone.
Then she takes Zach's coat.
The wallet's still
in the pocket.
We need to go through
that guest list again.
Everybody that was
at that party,
read through
the statements
and figure out
who Red Coat Lady is.
Harold Garvey?
I'm Anna Pigeon.
I'm in a bad mood today,
Ranger Pigeon.
Why are you here?
There was an incident in
the park near Whitetail River.
- What happened?
- You tell me.
The GPS on your truck
shows you were in the area.
I went for a hike with
my brother before work.
Didn't see
anything suspicious.
And if a ranger's talking
to me instead of the cops,
must not have been
that serious anyway.
Company policy says
employees can't drive
fleet vehicles
for personal use.
My supervisor
gave me the okay.
That's because
they're very generous,
or because you're doing
the company's dirty work?
We were scattering
my father's ashes.
Took me and Murt
a while to work up to it.
But our pops loved
that park.
Thank you for your time,
Mr. Garvey.
Sorry for your loss.
♪
Anyone who wants to spread
ashes in the park
needs a special use permit.
Hmm
Harold Garvey, yep.
Here it is.
Weird thing is,
he applied for a permit
every day last week, too.
He said it took him
a while to work up
to spreading
his dad's ashes.
So maybe he's
telling the truth?
[phone buzzing]
Anna, listen.
Something's wrong.
What is it?
Is it Jesse? Is he okay?
- [grunts]
- Let me go.
- I didn't do anything.
- No.
- Let me go.
- No, he's not.
What the hell's going on?
[Guthrie sighs]
Heard he was brought in
by a park ranger.
I prayed it wasn't you.
He's sedated.
You can't arrest him.
Look how sick he is.
Gunshot wounds are automatically
reported to the police.
Your sick friend?
He's had a warrant out on him
for the last four years.
What? For what?
I can't tell you that.
But I can tell you that I am
going to let him stay here
until he is healthy enough
to be taken into custody.
Guthrie, at least
uncuff him.
If there's an emergency,
if they need to take him
into surgery,
- every second--
- Fine.
Uncuff him.
But I'm going to have
a deputy stationed
outside of his door 24/7
in case you're thinking
of trying anything cute.
I have to figure this out.
I have to figure out
what happened.
Anna, when is the last time
you ate something
- or slept?
- I don't know.
Okay, we are gonna go home
and get some food
and then we
are going to wait
until Jesse or his lawyer
calls us and tells us
exactly how we can help.
Yeah.
Why are we stopping here?
Look, I'm not gonna
be able to rest.
I'm gonna go inside
and noodle some theories.
You take the car, go home.
I'll meet you there.
Absolutely not.
You're a mess, Anna.
What happened to Jesse
is probably bringing up
memories of Zach.
I'm not a kid
anymore, Molly.
You're not
in charge of me.
So would it be
too much to ask
for you to give a shit
about what I need?
I'm tired, I'm hungry
and I need you.
Jesse needs me.
Keys are in the ignition.
[sighs]
♪
Manny.
Hey.
Manny, right?
Yeah.
Before you finished
packing up,
I was hoping we could
have a little chat.
No, I-I don't think so.
Who's Bethany?
And what did she do
to my sister?
I'm leaving my home
and all my friends
and my wife is locked up
at a mental hospital.
Isn't it enough for you?
I can see that
you're hurting,
and I am sorry
to bring this up,
but my sister
is hurting too.
And I'm worried about her.
So please,
can we just talk?
Maybe you can find
a way to stay.
- Anything?
- Yeah, I called in a favor.
Had a friend look at
the search warrant.
She couldn't tell me
what Jesse did,
but she confirmed
that there's no mix up.
Date of births match.
Apparently his real name
is Jesse Fields.
Why would he lie to me
about that?
Guthrie said the warrant
was issued four years ago.
Do you think you can get
your friend back on the phone
and get any more info?
I'll give it a shot.
I thought we told
each other everything,
and now I'm finding out
all this truly horrible shit.
Damn it, Anna,
call me back.
[sighs]
I need a glass of
your best Bordeaux.
Someone just bought
the last bottle.
Oh, no, not after
the day that I've had.
Who?
♪
You're drinking my wine.
Oh, well, I've had
a hell of a week,
so that means you're just
gonna have to join me.
- Okay.
- All right.
♪
Found this on a crime blotter
from Wallace, Idaho.
Four years ago,
a pump station exploded
at a natural gas pipeline.
Killed a worker.
An eco-sabotage group
was blamed.
Called themselves, um,
Saint Kateri Co-op.
They rounded up
most of the group members
who claimed innocence.
Said they wanted
to disrupt the pipeline,
not destroy it.
What the hell happened?
[sighs]
Their plan was to close
the emergency shut off valve,
then disable it
so that the company
couldn't turn
the gas back on.
But someone disabled
the safety valves instead.
"Someone" meaning Jesse?
Maybe, but he disappeared
before the police
could question him.
Does the company
have any affiliation
with Nova Vert Analytics?
No, but this company's
had three mishaps
in five years.
A mess of a place.
The Co-op figured that
they were one setback away
from closing up shop
for good.
So the explosion
probably sealed the deal.
Not before the owner
walked away
with a big insurance payout.
Do you know the name
of the employee
that died in the explosion?
Bernard Garvey.
- Garvey?
- Yeah.
Bernard Garvey.
Left behind two sons,
Murtaugh and Harold.
Harold wanted revenge.
That's why he shot Jesse.
He said that he
and his brother
were going to spread
their father's ashes.
But Zoey's witnesses saw
one man leaving with one rifle.
Yeah, but whatever
Harold says,
his brother's gonna
back his story.
And the special use permits.
So we've got a bunch
of speculation
and a children's drawing.
And he's got an airtight alibi
and a paper trail.
It's time
to call Guthrie.
She won't believe me.
We need more.
Send me everything you have
on the owner of that company.
I need to go to
the hospital.
Zoey, hey.
Zoey, wake up.
- Wake up.
- What do you need?
- I got you.
- Okay.
I need you to call
Guthrie and brief her.
Geoff's gonna fill you in,
then meet me at the hospital.
Make sure you answer
your phone when I call you.
- Copy.
- What are you doing?
He's gonna try
to get to Jesse.
I think I can get
Harold to confess.
♪
Harold, stop.
Listen to me.
Before you do something
you're gonna regret,
you need to hear me out.
You're coming with me.
So
Your sister sounds
really selfish.
She was like this
even as a kid.
Wild, unbridled.
Living every day like
it could be her last.
With no regard for
how that affects you.
Families, you know,
I mean, they're complicated.
Believe you me, I know.
Our parents were
YOLO hippies.
One day they realized
that they wanted more
than having two young kids
would allow,
so they left us
with our aunt.
Parents. I mean, people
wonder why I didn't want kids.
Don't want
or don't have?
No, I had-- I had a daughter
when I was too young
to know any better.
But I let her mother
take care of her because I--
I don't have a single
paternal bone in my body.
Do you regret
that decision?
Nope.
Ever since she's
come back into my life,
it's been a disaster.
That could just
be bad luck.
Doesn't explain my nephew.
Do you and your brother
get along as well
as me and my sister,
now that you're perfectly
well adjusted adults?
Yeah, we're fine,
but his son,
he's an entitled
little shithead.
He's in
some real hot water.
Yeah, let me guess.
They want you to
solve their problems.
- I don't want to.
- No?
I really don't,
but, you know,
I refuse to let anyone take
anything away from me again.
That was an overshare.
[laughing]
I blame the wine.
You still haven't
told me your name.
My name is good night.
For now.
I know what you
did, Harold.
You can't prove anything.
When your coworker Taryn
submitted the samples
with the name Jesse Fields,
you must have thought
the whole universe was saying,
"Now's your chance."
If that happened,
it'd be the only lucky break
I've ever gotten. Wait.
But you saw the samples
were inconclusive.
You knew he'd have
to come back for more.
You just didn't know when.
I already told you
why I was in the park.
I have an alibi.
Right. Your brother.
What are you gonna do
in here, Harold?
There's cameras everywhere.
You gonna take me to
the loading dock and shoot me?
Shut up.
Shut up!
Harold, listen to me.
I know what it's like
to lose somebody.
My husband was murdered.
And while I don't
know who did it,
I do know the hole
that it leaves behind.
If you ever
figure out who did it,
all you'll ever think about
is finding that person
and making them pay.
Is that what
happened to you?
It's like a fever
that never breaks.
But you still
have your brother.
Who do you think
I'm doing this for?
I read up on
your dad's company.
Do you know why the co-op
chose to sabotage that site?
I don't care.
Because your dad's boss
made so many mistakes,
cut so many corners.
The company was
nearly bankrupt.
So my dad worked
for a shady boss.
- He didn't deserve to die.
- Anna!
- No, no, no!
- Ooh! Oh!
I didn't touch
any safety valves.
Okay, I would never do anything
to hurt another human being.
Harold, what if
your dad's boss
shut off
the safety valves?
What if he caused
the explosion
so he can get
the insurance money?
I promised my brother
that your friend would pay
for what he did.
So either move
or I'm gonna shoot you.
And then
I'm gonna kill him.
Killing two innocent people
isn't gonna make
you feel better.
You and your brother
deserve justice.
We deserve peace.
[sirens wailing]
[grunting]
- You good?
- Yeah.
- Do you have my phone call?
- Still connected.
Heard everything.
Jesse's got the gun.
You ever just stay in?
Quiet night at home?
Hands behind your back.
You okay?
[cat meowing]
Hey.
We caught the guy
who shot Jesse.
That's great.
I'd rather talk about what
happened in the cave.
Manny told me everything.
Anna, why didn't
you tell me?
Can we do this
in the morning?
I'm exhausted.
I need a shower.
No, you have to come
home to New York.
Deep down, you have to
think that I'm right.
Otherwise you wouldn't be
hiding things from me.
I was gonna tell you
when you got here.
I just didn't wanna
do it over the phone.
I have to wonder if some part
of you wanted it that way.
Okay.
You know, I met a man
in the bar today.
He gave me some
interesting perspective
- on our situation.
- Oh, yeah? What'd he say?
He said he thought
that you're selfish.
That you don't care about
how your actions affect me.
I mean, pretty insightful for
a rancher named Jerry.
Jerry?
Black hair, blue eyes,
travels with a bodyguard?
Molly, that's
Jeremiah Paulson.
You went on a date
with the man
that's been trying
to ruin my life?
Did you talk to
him about me?
I didn't say
your name or mine.
Did you talk to
him about me?
I talked about
our families.
Oh, my God, Molly.
How could you be so stupid?
I refuse to feel guilty for
finding a few hours of solace
with a man that I didn't
even know you knew.
You're right.
He's not the problem.
Maybe the real problem
in my life is you.
I should have let
Aunt Helen raise you.
Oh, sure.
Instead of wasting
my childhood trying
to chase you and keep you
on the straight and narrow.
It turns out you would have
probably turned out the same.
Arrogant, and stubborn,
and-- and a--
Sad drunk.
I'm going to get some air.
You can stay or go.
I don't care.
All right, let's just dig
through these statements
from the party guests.
See if anyone mentioned
a woman in a red coat.
You know, Frederick,
it's possible the sister
was lying about
Anna's alibi.
We got a solid lead.
Let's just chase that down.
This is the witness statement
from the sister.
Notice anything? Hmm?
She went with
Anna to a bar.
Was there with her
until 4:00 AM, closing time.
Husband's time of death
was earlier than that.
Look what time
Molly paid the tab.
1:30 AM.
Anna's the drinker.
Molly said they
stayed and talked.
But a serious drinker
doesn't sit for hours
without a glass
in front of them.
I don't think
Molly would lie.
You came all this way
to find the truth.
Don't stick your head in
the sand now.
Whatever you're
chewing on, spit it out.
Sisters cover for sisters.
- Geoff Miller.
- Hey, Geoff, it's Jesse.
I got the test results
on the Whitetail River samples.
And I know you got some land
on that watershed.
Yeah, driving out there
right now to get my dog.
I suggest you
clear out if possible
and tell the neighbors
to do the same.
All these homes
are sold, Jesse.
There are no neighbors.
That bastard Paulson
bought up all the land.
The water's bad, Geoff.
Just stay away
from the water.
That's why Buddy's sick.
[Buddy whining]
Hey, Buddy.
The water.
He's poisoning the water.

Hey.
They released me,

Said to promise
not to leave town.
I'm glad you're okay.
How you feeling?
Better.
Anyway, I just came
by to say thank you,
for having faith in
the man that I am.
Am I gonna
see you sometime?
The Arizona job's
off the table
now that I can't leave town,
so, yeah, seems likely.
And this time, I'm going
to keep my mouth shut
and let things be
what they are.
I see you found
my special rock.
I'm just listening to
the water and the birds.
Feeling the sun
on my back.
Kind of forget how sad
I am about our fight.
Yeah, this place is magic,
that's for sure.
When it's not
trying to kill you.

Scooch over.
I was thinking about
my fifth birthday.
You woke up so excited.
'Til I realized mom and dad
had completely forgotten.
God, they are
self centered assholes.
[chuckling]
But you got
your bike out
and you double rode me
to the corner store
so I could pick out
a Sarah Lee freezer cake.
And you couldn't decide
if you wanted chocolate
or pound cake.
You got me both.
And then stacked one on
top of the other.
You got one of Aunt Helen's
advent candles on top.
- Do you remember?
- Yeah.
Still my favorite
birthday memory.
We deserved
better parents.
But we got each other.
♪
I'm sorry I was
a shit last night, okay?
- Erase, erase?
- Erase, erase.
I'm sitting here on
your special rock
thinking about how you changed
when mom and dad left.
Became less feral.
Grew up.
No, you turned into
somebody I could raise.
Got top marks in school,
moved to New York,
found Zach and built
a good, stable life.
And then
everything changed.
Maybe.
Or maybe the wild,
impulsive, fearless Anna
that I grew up with,
maybe that's who
you've always been.
I don't want you
to be what I need.
I want you to be you.
Even if it scares
