Mom?[GROANS]

I'm... I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Mom.

Charlie, wait!

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

Leave him alone!

Get out of the way!Don't go!

Get back here!

[GRUNTING]

You gotta come home sometime!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Were you scared all night out here by yourself?

A little. Mostly 'cause I didn't know what to do,

how to start a fire and stuff.

You know what we need in case it happens again?

We need a plan.

Like a survival guide?

Yeah, a plan for survival.

[GENTLE PIANO MUSIC]

Mom says if I don't start eating more they're gonna have

to give me a feeding tube.

Well, there's been talk of lots of things.

I want to eat, but I try, and I can't.

I don't know why.

You know, I remember what it was like to be seven.

Really?Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

I found it really scary,

like the whole sky was gonna fall on me at any moment.

And maybe it was my worries

that were the only thing keeping it up there.

Yeah, and did you stop feeling scared?

I don't know that I ever did.

I guess I just learned not to run from the fear.

Fear can be good. It's there for a reason.

Keeps us safe.

You know what?

I got something that I think I want to show you.

Really?Why don't you come with me, young lady?

Let's see what we got here.

My brother Victor and I, we made this together.

We made this little fort in the woods,

and we spent all our time there trying to think

of every single thing that scared us.

And then we came up with a plan to survive it,

and we found it comforting.

Maybe you will too.

You don't talk about your brother much.

Do you miss him?

Every single day.

Now, if you like, we can go through it together,

and then I can even help you come up

with your own survival plan, if you feel like.

Can we start right now?Sure. Let's have a look.

Right. Lesson one. Fight, flight, or freeze.

And when a person's in danger they do one of three things,

fight, flight, or freeze. And it's true.

In a dangerous situation, the ones who survive

tend to be the ones who react.

So if you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation,

Sheri, don't freeze. React.

[GUNSHOT]

[GROANING]

Oh, God. Help me.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[WHIMPERING]

Mom?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[POUNDING AT DOOR]

Argh!Run.

No.

Run!

[PENSIVE, EERIE MUSIC]

Hi. It's Marybeth.

Please leave a message.

Hey. I need you to call me, hon.

Where's he going?

Not to his house. He lives back that way.

Police?

He would have turned down 16 for the police.

Mommy, please get up. Please.

[GROANS]

Come on, please. Please. Please. Mommy.

Mommy, come on.

Please. Get up.

[DOORKNOB RATTLING]

Hmm.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Hmm.

[SIGHS]

Why are you still here, Marybeth?

I got you the Kensingers' place so you wouldn't be here.

[SIGHS]

Shit.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Good news? No. We got a problem, Vern.

Yeah, no shit.

Now, I already know about Pickett poking around

elk camp and that he probably has proof.

What?

That's not why you're calling?

No. I'm calling about Pickett's wife.

I think I just killed her.

Jesus Christ, Wacey. Are you serious?

It's not my fault.

She jumped out at me, and I shot her.

She wasn't supposed to be here.

I got 'em the Kensinger place

so something like this wouldn't happen.

Wacey, you stupid asshole.

Marybeth P... Marybeth Pickett

isn't some piece of shit like Ote Keeley.

She's an officer of the law's wife.

This kind of thing just doesn't go away.

They gonna be coming for you now.

They're gonna come for both of us.

I sure as hell didn't shoot her.

You know what? This is too much.

I'm gonna wash my hands of you.

They gonna burn you for this, and I'm gonna let 'em.

You're gonna let 'em?

Now, everything I have done, I've done for you, Vern.

Suddenly things get a little sweaty,

you're just gonna step aside and let me go down?

Like hell I will. You listen to me.

If I go down, you go down with me.

All right. Well, let's just calm it down.

Maybe we can figure something out.

Thank you.

Did anybody see you shoot her?

No. Was anybody else up there?

No. She was alone.

No one else is here.

Did anybody else go up there with you?

No. Of course not. You think I'm stupid?

Well, yes, Wacey. At this moment, I do.

Now, did you ever find those weasels?

No, but I know where they are.

I can burn 'em out quick.

Burn 'em?Mmm-hmm.

Here in the woodpile...

[GUNSHOT][GASPS]

I think.

All right. All right. Well, that's good.

Maybe we can make it look like a... A robbery.

Hmm. Smart. And, Wacey...

Mmm-hmm.

You need to get your head straight

and finish this thing right, no more stupid cowboy shit.

You destroy those weasels, and you cover your tracks.

You understand?

Yeah. I hear you, Vern. Just need a little time.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello, Vern.

Arlen, we've got a problem.

I met with your mom about it,

and she wants me to relay a message to you.

Why wouldn't she just call us directly then?

She doesn't want you to call.

Phone records and such.

Now, if this thing goes sideways,

there's something she needs you to do.

Yeah? What's that?

She's gonna need you to kill Joe Pickett

and keep his gun.

We're gonna plant it on Wacey later when we kill him.

[EXHALES]

Shit. Okay.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Twelve Sleep.

Cricket, I need to speak with Sheriff Barnum right away.

Sorry, Joe. He's out on a call.

I'll have him call you back.

But just tell him it's important.

I always liked you, Marybeth.

I did.

Just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Nothing personal.

Ha!

[WHISTLING]

[SIGHS]

Did you bring a rugrat with you?

That is shitty parenting, Marybeth.

God damn.

[ITEMS CLATTERING]

Didn't anybody ever tell you?

Never bring a kid to a gunfight.

Now, where the hell'd he go?

Oh, shit.

[GUNSHOT]

Why aren't you calling me, honey?

Sheridan, are you out here?

There's been a terrible accident.

Your mom's hurt real bad.

We gotta get her to the hospital.

If we don't hurry, I think she might die!

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I'd take her to the hospital myself,

but I can't leave you out here all by yourself.

What do you say we call a truce and get her some help?

You're wasting time, Sheridan!

She's not gonna last long if you don't come out.

She's bleeding real bad.

I'd hate for her to die, Sheridan

and for you to know that it was your fault.

[SPITS]

Okay, we'll do it a different way.

Sheridan!

No, no, no.

[GUNSHOT]

[GASPS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GUN COCKS]

Kind of scary, isn't it?

You can yell as loud as you want out here,

and there's nobody that'll even hear you.

Go ahead.

Call for help.

Yell it loud.

Help! Help!

Somebody's trying to kill me!

[LAUGHS]

Uh-oh.

Hmm.

[WHISTLING]

Olly olly oxen free.

Come out. Come out wherever you are.

[GRUNTING]

Sheridan.

You can't hide in here forever.

Where are you?[GASPS]

[GROANING]

Sh-Sheridan.

[GASPING]

[GROANING]

[GRUNTING]

Augh!

Damn it.[GASPS]

[GASPING]

[DOOR THUMPS]Huh?

[CAR HORN HONKING]

[GUNSHOT]

Ow![GUNSHOT]

[GRUNTING]

Damn it!

God!

[PANTING]

[ENGINE TURNING OVER]

Damn it.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GRUNTS] God damn it.

[GUNSHOT]

Don't freeze. React.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[GROANING]

[PHONE BUZZING]

[GRUNTING]

Shit.

What in the hell?

Oh, my God.

Call 911!

Mama. Mommy.

Come on. Please.

[PHONE BUZZES]Sheriff.

Thanks for calling me back. I need your help.

Joe, I'm actually calling with some bad news.

It's about your wife. There's been an accident.

If you're driving, you might want to pull over.

Shot, and she's in bad shape.

They're gonna[INDISTINCT].

I'd suggest you try to get there right away.

I need... I need you to send someone around

to check on my family.

We'll send someone right over, Joe.

Take care of your wife.

[ENGINE REVVING]

Okay. What would you need?

To survive all night in the dark?

Mmm-hmm.

I'd need a flashlight...Right.

Warm clothes, water.

That's probably enough for one night.

See? No longer need to be scared of the dark.

Dad?

Wacey.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Whew.

Show me your hands.

Jesus, Opal. It's Vern.

Why are you here unannounced?

Well, I wanted to make sure there'd be no way to prove

that we talked tonight.

Why?

Well, that's what I came to tell you about.

Can I put my goddamn hands down?

He's clean.

This better be important.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Marybeth Pickett. Where is she?

She's still in surgery.

I'll send the doctor to talk to you once she's available.

Help!

We need help! Help!

Oh, my. Come here.Tell us what happened.

Does Wacey know about me and my family?

I don't know how to answer that.

How about the truth for once?

Well, I'm afraid if I say to you that yes,

he knows about you, then I trusted the wrong guy.

But if I say no, you may start to think I'm the one link

between you and proof of criminal wrongdoing,

which I recognize would be bad for me.

So why are you here?

There's always a bright spot in every bad situation

if you look close enough.

And what, pray tell, is this bright spot?

Your boys are killing Pickett right now.

They wouldn't. Not without my go-ahead.

I told 'em you said to.

You did what?

It needed to be done. They'll do it.

There'll be no record of you ever giving the order.

Then we'll go after Wacey later

after he cleans up our rodent problem.

Everything falls into place.

Wacey killed Pickett's wife. Pickett goes after him,

and they both die in a gunfight. And Barnum?

He'll do whatever I say, to remain sheriff.

I'll make sure he sits this one out.

A closed loop.

What a mess.

A mess that'll be clear by sunrise.

If it isn't, I will kill you myself.

Doctor? Doctor? Just so you know...

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

Thank you.Yeah.

Is she alive?She is,

but your wife has had a very serious injury.

One of her lungs was punctured,

and her C5 vertebra may have been nicked.

But she is a fighter.

She's in critical condition now and resting.

She'll need to go back into surgery

once the spinal surgeon arrives.

What about the baby?

I'm... I'm so sorry.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

I promise we're gonna do everything we can

for your wife.

Thank you.

Sheridan?

[TENSE MUSIC]

This is your last chance. Save your little pets.

Going once.

Going twice.

Ehh.

[GUNSHOT]

This is McLanahan. I've reached the Kensingers'.

Going in to do a wellness check.

[KNOCKING]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Missy, you in there?

This is McLanahan.

We may have a problem over at the Kensingers'.

I'm requesting backup.[LOUD RATTLING]

This is the police! Come out!

I'm not telling you again. Open the door!

Golly, I'm...Oh, Jesus.

Oh, sorry. Wasn't expecting company.

I could have shot you.

[LAUGHS] Please do.

Forget the backup. We're fine.

Jesus. How much did you have to drink?

I don't know.

Three maybe.

Yeah. Why? Am I in trouble?

You were left in charge

to watch your grandchildren like this?

Why? Are you the babysitting police?

Everyone's here and safe.Yeah.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

[EXHALES]

I'm here now.

Don't worry, Joey.

You'll never have to see your own wife like this.

You're not allowed to die before me.

I'm supposed to be first.

Please don't go.

Just stay here.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

I'll be right back.

McLanahan made it to the Kensingers' house.

Missy was there. Girls are safe.

Missy'd had a bit to drink, but everything checked out.

Thanks.

Any idea who might have done this to her?

Wacey Hedeman.

Wacey Hedeman? Holy shit.

And I know why too.

I got evidence in my truck that I'd like to hand over to you.

Where was she found?

Well, she crashed into a house,

over on the west side. Looks like she was shot,

then drove herself some distance to get help.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Um...I gotta take this.

Why don't you just grab that evidence, and I'll log it in?

You got a sidearm.Of course.

Is it loaded?Yes.

Can I trust you to keep my wife safe?

With my life.

Anyone goes through that door that's not a doctor,

you shoot 'em.

And if it's Wacey Hedeman, you shoot to kill.

[TENSE MUSIC]

There's been a Nate Romanowski sighting.

What? Really?

Yeah. I gotta go deal with that.

You stay with Pickett.

Be careful.

There you are.

Gotcha.

Damn it.

"Tribes could use smoke signals

"to tell really simple messages.

"Like three puffs of smoke meant danger,

and one puff of smoke meant all is well."

Come on, kiddo. Let's get some sleep.

No. I want to learn more about smoke signals.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Please, please, please come. Please.

Sir? Sir, you can't bring that in here. Sir.

Where's Barnum?

There was a Romanowski sighting. He had to go.

He left?

He asked me to collect your evidence.

It's gone. They stole it.What?

Which means they're here. Hey, you're gonna do great.

Sheri.What's that?

Sheridan...run.

I need your walkie.

McLanahan, you saw three kids, right, at the Kensingers'

when you went inside? You saw three kids?

What do you mean? No.

You've only got two kids, right?

I need you to get back inside

and make sure there's a third girl there.

I'm not there.

I got pulled away to look for Nate Romanowski.

I figured Barnum told you.
