[MAN ON RADIO.]
And what are we talking about here, really? God is good.
His righteous plan is to provide you hope to light your way forward.

They some goddamn meth heads, I tell ya.
They stole Mama's car.
Who? [BEN.]
My inbred nephews, that's who.
Cal and Chet? How you so sure it was them? I deduced it after they done it three times before.
All right.
Grady, tell Tammy to put a BOLO alert out on the truck, and tell Suthers to pick up them boys, bring 'em in.
You ain't gonna just find 'em.
[SIGHS.]
They ain't at their trailer.
I ring the A&P, Trevor said they ain't show up for work.
I call Chet's PO, Chet missed his weekly piss test this morning.
Boys ain't nowhere to next Tuesday.
I bet my life it's got something to do with Fulton's dipshit son they're mixed up with.
Well [CLEARS THROAT.]
I'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later.
[BEN.]
Ten years ago you'd have had every deputy on a thing like this.
A stolen truck.
Now, all of a sudden, it's just a drop in the bucket.
[CAWING CONTINUES.]
Ain't right, Jim Bell.
Desperation's done something to this town.
[GRADY.]
What is it, Sheriff? [GRADY.]
Sheriff? [BEN.]
That thing ain't sturdy, Jim Bell.
[PANTING.]
How did you get so big? I think it's a combination of food and sleep.
So can I go back to sleep? Yes.
Yes.
Sure.
After you get dressed, have breakfast, go to school [BOTH SHOUT, CHUCKLE.]
come back home, do your chores, do your homework and give your mother a kiss good night.

This will be one of the longest recorded stays on the ISS.

[APPLAUSE.]
[MAN.]
Why would Murai-san date Meguru Seki? She could have any guy in the world.
Even you.
I mean, he's not even a good actor.
[CHUCKLES.]
Did you see Emperor Hit Man 3? It was awful.
Maybe the sex is good.
Well it can't be that good.
She's going 400 kilometers away from Earth.
Hey, what are you doing? You put the black stone here, the computer will go over here, so you go there.
Then the computer will try here.
Black stone goes here.

Captain Murai.
This is Mitsuki Yamato, Communications.
[MURAI.]
Have we met somewhere? No.
Are you sure? You look familiar.
Yamato-san will run a quick diagnostic.
[SIGHS.]
In the unlikely event that comms are ever down, I will set up a viral downshift.
It will transmit a message to the ISS.
That will get you back up and running in no time.
It always takes a woman to get the job done.
Okay, running the test.

We're after Cal and Chet Griffin.
Who? We paid a visit to their camper.
We know you were at their trailer, banging and screaming for 'em.
You trying to collect? I was here all night, man.
You got seven witnesses to corroborate.
How much money did Cal owe ya? Who the fuck is that? You know, it's funny, man.
My daddy always used to have a good laugh when he'd see you coming, your little siren going.
[CHUCKLES.]
"What is the fucking point of him?" he'd say.

Oh, and now look at ya.
You're old too.

Not just Daniel.
No.
He was taken.
They both were.
And I'm gonna find 'em.

They wasn't taken.
Just another scam.
It's always something with that piece of shit.
Big ol' crooked ideas.
- Look, I [SIGHS.]

I don't know what you think this is, but this is what they do.
They fuck with people.
You don't know what you're talking about.
This was the plan all along.
He ran the fuck off.
Just doesn't square.
Ain't you been listening? This ain't some big mystery.
These boys can't do but one thing, and they already gone and done it.
They're just gone.
[BREATHING SHAKILY.]
You all right, Sheriff? Yeah.

Hi, you've reached Manny.
Please leave a message.

Just call me whenever you can.
[SIREN WAILING.]
Hospitals scare me.
People get sick in hospitals.
[MOTHER.]
My love, that's not right.
Hospitals are where people get healthy.
Just try to breathe slowly for me.
It'll help you.
Breathe in.
[INHALES.]

How you guys doing in here? Hi, I'm Dr.
Lockhart.
You must be Luke.
No bloody nose for you, huh? And Sarah? Like the princess in A Little Princess, only spelled with an H.
[DR.
LOCKHART.]
Heard about this on the news.
I also heard from my nurse that you performed a radial bifurcation in the car? Posterior and anterior.
Saw some inflammation, but it's just probably from swimming.
That was a dangerous thing to do in a car.
You a doctor? No.
Yes, I went to medical school.
Which med school? Harvard.
You? Hofstra.
Anyway.
I can tell you the tests came back normal.
Vitals, mucus, saliva.
All healthy.
Just a little nosebleed.
I know they can be scary sometimes.
How come nothing bad happened to me? [DR.
LOCKHART.]
I guess that would make you the lucky one.
Get plenty of rest and fluids for the next day or so.
[MOTHER.]
Thank you, Doctor.
So we're okay? [MOTHER.]
You're fine.

["ANGEL OF DEATH" PLAYING ON RADIO.]
[GRADY.]
You always said to never ask after you.
After all these years, I never have, and I ain't gonna start.
But if there was a day that called for it, today'd be it.
See [BREATHES DEEPLY.]
just as men of the robe are chosen by God, so are men of the badge.
Over the course of a lawman's life, he comes to understand why.
Why he was chosen.
Sometimes it's many things.
Most times it's just one.
- One case.
- One case.
One reason we're put on this Earth.
But me? After all these years, after all this time, what I really done? You done lots of things.
[SNIFFS.]
I worked this case once, way before your time.
My daddy was still alive and barely hanging on though he was.
Anyways, this little girl, Gracie Clarke, goes missing from the church fair.
Not six years old.
Now, I thought that this Gracie Clarke business was gonna be my my case, my reason.
I pieced together a few things, and I found myself at a shack down by the tributary owned by a trucker named Devlin.
There we are at the shack, and I burst in.
Devlin's away on a trucking run.
But there she is, little Gracie tied to a La-Z-Boy, eating some animal crackers for dinner, coloring in some TV Guide or some shit.
But she's untouched.
Unharmed.
Why ain't I never heard this story? Two days later, there was a parade planned for her and everything, down Main Street.
Governor was gonna come.
Pin me on a badge like my daddy.
The morning before the parade, Gracie's daddy takes her to the store, buy her an ice cream, special treat after what she's been through.
And on the way back to the parade an 18-wheeler loses control, smashes into Gracie's daddy's truck, and the girl goes flying through the windshield.
Dead on impact.
Just like that.
Ain't no parade.
Ain't no medal.
[CHUCKLES.]
Ain't no girl.
Ain't no story.
Well, you keep people safe, Sheriff.
Always have.
I thought at the end I would finally have my stand.
But here I am at the end, darling, and there is nothing.
Nothing.
Until today.
Until today.
And now I'm thinking all these signs, that maybe God is is giving me something.
Something bigger.
He waited till the last minute.
And And maybe this is the point to all of this.
To me.
It's gotta be.

I knew you'd be hungry, so I put a little dinner together for you.
Oh, I already ate.
You always like a midnight snack.

More, um flavor.
Mmm.
It's, um It's this new recipe I found.
[CHUCKLES.]
Online, of all places.
I think this one's called "Mandy's Organic Flank Steak," or something.
This woman in Great Neck, she she posts all these delicious recipes.

That was a dangerous thing to do in a car.
You a doctor? No.
Yes, I went to medical school.

You? Hofstra.
Anyway.
I can tell you the tests came back normal.
Vitals, mucus, saliva.
All healthy.
Just a little nosebleed.
I know they can be scary sometimes.

You always said to never ask after you.
After all these years, I never have, and I ain't gonna start.
But if there was a day that called for it, today'd be it.
See [BREATHES DEEPLY.]
just as men of the robe are chosen by God, so are men of the badge.
Over the course of a lawman's life, he comes to understand why.
Why he was chosen.
Sometimes it's many things.
Most times it's just one.
- One case.
- One case.
One reason we're put on this Earth.
But me? After all these years, after all this time, what I really done? You done lots of things.
[SNIFFS.]
I worked this case once, way before your time.
My daddy was still alive and barely hanging on though he was.
Anyways, this little girl, Gracie Clarke, goes missing from the church fair.
Not six years old.
Now, I thought that this Gracie Clarke business was gonna be my my case, my reason.
I pieced together a few things, and I found myself at a shack down by the tributary owned by a trucker named Devlin.
There we are at the shack, and I burst in.
Devlin's away on a trucking run.
But there she is, little Gracie tied to a La-Z-Boy, eating some animal crackers for dinner, coloring in some TV Guide or some shit.
But she's untouched.
Unharmed.
Why ain't I never heard this story? Two days later, there was a parade planned for her and everything, down Main Street.
Governor was gonna come.
Pin me on a badge like my daddy.
The morning before the parade, Gracie's daddy takes her to the store, buy her an ice cream, special treat after what she's been through.
And on the way back to the parade an 18-wheeler loses control, smashes into Gracie's daddy's truck, and the girl goes flying through the windshield.
Dead on impact.
Just like that.
Ain't no parade.
Ain't no medal.
[CHUCKLES.]
Ain't no girl.
Ain't no story.
Well, you keep people safe, Sheriff.
Always have.
I thought at the end I would finally have my stand.
But here I am at the end, darling, and there is nothing.
Nothing.
Until today.
Until today.
And now I'm thinking all these signs, that maybe God is is giving me something.
Something bigger.
He waited till the last minute.
And And maybe this is the point to all of this.
To me.
It's gotta be.
