JIM: Hey, I appreciate that, thanks.

Yeah, it was-- it was quite a shock.

I mean, we didn't even know Dad had heart problems.

Well, they're saying natural causes but I want

to check out a few things while I'm out here.

I tell you what, though, you ought to see this place.

I mean, there's stuff everywhere.

It's like he didn't take care of anything once Mom died.

I mean, there's an arrowhead collection.

There's so much stuff, this is going to take forever.

Yeah.

Well, hey, man, I'd love to see you, too.

Hey, we'll talk about Bosnia.

Thanks.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

I'm going to really miss seeing him in here.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

Tell me something, he show any signs of a--

-of a heart problem? -No.

He always seemed as healthy as a horse.

Actually, I was surprised to hear he died of a heart attack.

-Yeah, me too. -Hey,

he had an order come in today.

It's already paid for. Do you want it?

-Yeah, might as well. -All right, give me a second.

So no warning signs, huh?

No, he was actually really excited to get this order.

Talked about some sort of adventure.

Why would dad order all this camping gear?

You order stuff like this often?

No, just a couple odds and ends here and there.

-But-- -Well, hey, I appreciate it.

Of course. It's good to see you again.

Yeah, you too. See you.

Hey, Jim. Sorry to hear about your daddy.

[solemn flute instrumental]

Can you tell me everything you told him?

1838.

President Jackson sent troops and militia

to forcibly remove the Cherokee

and other tribes from their homelands.

My great great grandparents

lived in that land

before the Great Spirit breathed life.

They were forced from their homes

to walk thousands of miles,

having to bury their family

along the way in shallow graves

because the ground was too frozen

and the soldiers said

it took too long to bury them.

Trail of Tears.

Not America's finest moment in history.

One of many.

Oro?

[laughs]

Right.

The gold.

You know, 3,000 of us

died on that trail

-all for some-- -Sorry.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

Please continue.

Please.

So you know about the Trail of Tears.

Did you know that the Cherokee found gold

in Dahlonega 10 years earlier?

Really? My dad.

He used to take my sister and I down to Dahlonega,

pan for gold.

Never knew the Cherokee found it.

Yes, my great great grandfather

was one of the tribesmen that found it.

Knowing white man's desire for gold,

he and the other tribesmen

started mining it and hid it.

And then word got out

and people started to swarm the area for their fortunes.

Anybody ever find the gold

that your great great grandfather did?

No.

Because President Jackson

passed the Indian Removal Act

and the leaders got together

and decided to hide it, to never be found.

So you know where it is?

Is that a, uh, family secret

that's passed on for generations?

You hear about thousands of people

forcibly removed from their rightful homelands

and it's like, "Oh, that's such a sad story.

I'm sorry to hear about that".

Then you hear about a gold mine and it's like,

"Oh, hey, yeah, show me the money".

No, I just want to find out what happened to my dad.

I could tell you what happened to him.

-He was murdered. -What?

How?

He wasn't the only one looking for it.

He came for the funeral. He's been poking around.

How much does he know?

I'm not totally sure.

We almost had him the other day but then he disappeared.

I could have Donia there in two days.

-She can find him. -No, not yet.

I think we've been going about this all wrong.

We've been getting rid of the competition.

Maybe we just need to get out of their way.

I think you're taking a big chance.

Well, when and if he finds anything,

we can just take it from him.

True.

If anything goes sideways, let me know.

I will.

[forest din]

JIM: So who is this Sabal Fade?

-And why'd he kill my dad? -GOLA: She.

JIM: You think I care about pronouns?

Why did it kill my dad?

That's closer to the truth.

She's not human.

She killed my uncle and anyone else

who'd take up the search to find what my ancestors left.

Does she have people looking?

Always.

They're all around town,

threatening families,

trying to squeeze information out of people.

She bought up the land and businesses,

trying to corrupt the politicians.

She'll do anything and everything.

Explains why people were treating me so weird.

I just don't understand why dad would take up

something so dangerous and not tell me about it.

I could have helped him.

Protection, probably.

The woman is pure evil.

And she'll stop at nothing

to get what she wants.

Sounds like she has enough money already.

It's about the power, not the gold.

JIM: Right.

Wait, what? What power?

Gola.

-GOLA: Got it. -Got who?

GOLA: Breakfast.

How do you like your squirrel?

I don't.

I prefer beef

or deer.

You ever had squirrel?

JIM: My dad and I used to go camping all the time.

And when we did, we always hunt.

I learned a lot but I never had to eat squirrel.

-Let me guess, though. -Please don't say "chicken".

Tastes like chicken.

So predictable.

Really?

Did you know I was going to do that?

Well?

You lied. Tastes like chicken.

You were saying.

What?

Before you went all squirrel hunter on me,

you were saying something about power.

I asked grandmother, Elisi,

if there's so much gold, why hasn't anyone ever found it?

Right. Exactly what I was thinking.

Elisi told me the tribe shaman

traveled to the great Tennessee River

to perform a ritual.

JIM: Tennessee River. How would that help?

GOLA: The Cherokee view the Tennessee River

as a kind and helpful spirit.

His head rests in the Great Smokies

and his feet touch the Tennessee River.

JIM: So the, uh, shaman went to this

Tennessee River spirit to get some help.

-An immortal. -Right, immortal, okay.

You know, like a-- Like a vampire.

Really?

[chuckles]

I'm sorry. Look, go ahead. Immortal.

There are a group of spirits known as the Immortals.

They're invisible unless they want to be seen.

They drum and they dance and--

Now when do we hear all this drumming and dancing?

You do.

In the rumbling of the mountains,

in the sounds of the wind.

JIM: Well, did this great Tennessee River Immortal

help the shaman out?

GOLA: He did.

He asked him for an object.

The only thing he had was an arrowhead

that he wore around his neck.

It was passed down through generations.

The great spirit held out the arrowhead and he prayed,

"May every path that you travel

be a wide field.

May every secret kept from you be revealed.

May the winter of your years never be sealed."

Wow. That's beautiful.

It's beautiful. But it's also dangerous.

The arrow head turned to gold and the shaman headed back home.

Along the way, the trees and rocks moved out of his way

and the hills parted for him to pass.

After a few more steps, he realized that old age

no longer kept him from running and he felt young again.

And he ran all the way home.

JIM: So the, the wide fields

allowed him to pass through anything

and the sealing of his age made him young again?

But that's not the worst part of it.

When he returned back to the village,

everyone came out.

But not to greet him.

To tell him about every deed they'd ever done.

[chuckles]

Every secret shall be revealed.

What'd he do?

He hid the arrowhead and the gold,

vowing to never use it again.

Wow. You believe?

I believe Sabal Fade believes.

I believe anyone who possesses it

would be unstoppable.

-And I believe my grandmother. -Mm.

What are you going to do?

I know she's looking for it

and I want to find it before she does.

If the wisest of our tribe thought

it was too powerful for him

and grandmother thought he was the best of us all,

it's the least I could do to protect the world

from someone like Sabal Fade.

Well, I agree. I'm with you.

You know, I don't know if my dad knew about this arrowhead or not

or if he was just in it for the gold.

But I'm not about to sit back...

and let some witch that killed my dad

get away with it.

I've watched you in the woods.

You're pretty good.

Well, I'm good with guns. Good with knives.

-Really? -Yeah.

[forest din]

Wow. That's impressive.

I'm so glad you were here to protect me

and ancient spells.

And then we would go behind the falls,

were these whispering rocks.

Whispering rocks?

Do tell, please.

Well, at the moment,

there's not a lot to talk about, but...

for now, kinda got to keep things on the down low

so the less people know, the better.

JANIE: Don't worry.

Your secret is totally safe with us.

Yeah, I don't like the sound of that, Jim.

Some things are better left unsaid

and Jim will explain it to you later.

Be careful.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow we've got a few things to finish up,

-so... -No, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah?

[door clicking closed]

JANIE: She's been kind of worrying

a lot these past few days.

JIM: I know. I know exactly how she is.

She's just like my mom. She's a worrier.

But you need to help me out and remind her

that I'm never going to dig a hole deeper

than I can crawl out of.

Well, do you need somebody in the trenches with you?

I make a really good partner.

[chuckling]

No, but thanks for asking.

Gola and I are just about finished up.

Hmm. That's sad.

You said you had something to finish up tomorrow?

Why do you ask?

I don't know, I just thought we could

get together for dinner.

Maybe we can do something.

[chuckles]

Well, not tomorrow.

Maybe some other time.

[sighs] Okay, fine.

Rain check?

Well, you better hurry.

Sugar melts in the rain.

Ha-ha. Sure it does.

It was nice to meet you, Gula.

It's Gola.

Right. Bye.

Bye.

Sugar melts in the rain. Really?

[laughs]

I just could vomit right here.

I don't like that woman.

What? Shut up.

How do they even know about this place?

She didn't. Debra did.

We used this place as kind of a party house

when we were kids.

-I don't like it, Jim. -Like what?

Them knowing where we are. Sabal has people everywhere.

Deb is not a Sabal Fade secret agent.

Okay, fair enough.

But still, don't you think it's dangerous

they know where we are?

All right. I agree.

I-- I know it's a hike

but nobody knows about my place.

That'll work.

I'll just call Deb and let her know

-we won't be staying here. -Right.

Yeah, yeah, we're at the location.

Yeah, we're about to move in.

I remember.

All right.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, love you, sis. Good night.

[music continues]

[car engine revving]

It's just a matter of time now

before you have possession of Jim Powell.

I know I took my time getting close to Debra

but when you wanted Jim, I gave him to you.

I knew when he came in town that I should keep tabs on him.

So I cloned his phone--

Oh, shut up, Janie.

It's annoying to hear you so pleased with yourself.

Sabal, I don't know what I did to--

I don't care what you don't know.

I only care about one thing.

The gold.

No, you moron. The arrowhead.

Arrowhead?

There are thousands of arrowheads.

Farmers find arrowheads.

Can those arrowheads tell the future?

Can they tell you privileged or confidential information?

Can they stop time?

And you think an arrowhead like that

is in Towns County?

I don't think it. I know it.

How?

[sighs] Well.

In 1974, Daddy had a breakdown.

I loved it.

There was no one else

I would rather see it happen to.

But Mother was concerned.

Oh, oh, not for his health but his wealth.

You see, she couldn't possibly drink herself to death

in anything but designer shoes.

So Mother sent him off to a sweat lodge in Oklahoma.

And she said it was-- Oh, how did she put it?

"So that he could become one with his inner spirit animal."

What?

Like most addicts,

mother went through an experimental phase.

Daddy, well, he became friends with the locals.

And he started smoking the peace pipe with them.

They would tell him crazy stories

about magical and golden arrowheads.

They thought, "What can this hurt?

Some white guy up for the weekend on a romp?"

Yeah, but they didn't know Daddy.

Once he set his mind to something he didn't let up.

And you really think that story is true?

That an arrowhead with all that power

would be in this county?

Yes.

[buzzing]

Idiot.

Hello?

What?

[sighs]

It's time to get personal.

♪♪♪

I told you, Sabal Fade has people everywhere.

Who? Janie?

Yes, Janie, or whatever her name is.

What about Debra?

With Sabal Fade? No way.

It was obvious that she's got Janie staying close to Deb.

And you.

Got to get her away from Janie

before she gets hurt.

[notification sound]

-What? -Too late.

Jim. I'm so sorry--

[notification sound]

GOLA: Wait, there's another text.

Debra is safe for now but they want the arrowhead.

Jim, we can't give Sabal Fade the arrowhead.

-With it, she could-- -I know,

-I know. -[notification sound]

GOLA: It's a location.

A barn at the end of Farmington Road?

Why? Where is that?

It's on the other side of town.

There's nothing around it.

It's a perfect place for Sabal.

There's nobody around for miles.

What are we going to do?

[notification sounds]

-[scoffs] One hour. -[scoffs] One hour.

Can't plan anything in one hour.

I think that's the whole point.

Jim, I don't want Debra to get hurt.

But...

I know what you're going to say.

Just let me say it.

Sabal Fade cannot get the arrowhead.

-No matter what. -No matter what.

So what are we going to do?

You go get that arrowhead and hide it.

And you?

I'm going to go get my sister.

♪♪♪

I need to know where Jim is.

I already told you. I don't know anything.

Please let me go!

SABAL: Okay, Vant. That's enough.

Go check on Hawk and his idiots

and make sure they're where they need to be.

And tell Donia to come in here.

[cheerful voice] So hard to find good help these days.

Debra, dear little sweet, naive Debra...

I need to know where Jim is!

I told you, I don't know--

Know where he is? Yes, you said that.

I'm getting bored with this.

So here's how it's going to be.

Tell me where he is now and I'll let him live.

If not...

You can watch him die.

Die?

What is going on here?

What does Jim have to do with any of this?

He knows where the arrowhead is!

Arrowhead.

This is all about a stupid arrowhead?

There's thousands of arrowheads around here.

-That's what I said. -Janie, please help me.

They've got me tied up, please.

Janie.

Sorry, babe. It's just business.

Jim's on his way. Well, at least his phone is.

Okay, Vant.

Go get ready. Jim's on his way.

And Donia, pick a spot. Get him in your sights.

Don't kill him. I still need him.

And the Indian girl?

I don't need her.

Good. I didn't like her anyways.

Cut your hair, I mean.

Leave your name and number and I'll call you back.

Style you later!

I'm in the weeds I need backup

DEB: Jim.

HAWK: Now try to get away.

-Deb, are you okay? -I'm okay.

-Are you hurt? -No, I'm okay.

Ah, Jim, Jim, Jim.

So exciting to finally meet a man

who's going to give me a present I don't return.

Sorry. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh, no? Oh, Janie.

Fill him in, Janie.

Oh, you do remember Janie, don't you?

Vaguely.

Reminds me of a call girl who tried picking me up at a bar.

Honey, please. Like you could afford this?

Yeah, medical bills would be staggering.

Enough, Jim.

Where is the arrowhead?

Arrowhead?

Vant, cut off his sister's hand.

JIM: Whoa, whoa.

What happened to our witty banter here, huh?

-Okay. Okay. -[she screams]

Look, I don't know where this arrowhead is.

But if you give me just a second,

let me work something out.

Hmm. Interesting.

Nah. I'm tired of this, Vant.

Hey! I'm going to need everyone

to stay right where they are.

Sheriff! They kidnapped me, please!

Is that true, Mrs. Fade?

[gasps] Guilty as charged.

What are you waiting on, Glenn?

Yes, Glenn. What are you waiting for?

Glenn. No.

I'm sorry, Jim.

I'm just-- just in too deep.

-But the pay sure is good. -You're late.

Sorry, ma'am. Police business.

But I did bring you a gift.

Hey, Hawk.

JANIE: Oh, goodie.

-JIM: Do you have it? -GOLA: No.

Did you find it?

GOLA: I did. I hid it.

-So it's not here? -GOLA: No.

Good. Then I have a plan.

Okay. Now that we've had our little reunion,

it's time to get down to business.

Now, I don't want to have to threaten you

and have Vant cut you

and blah-dee-blah-dee-blah, all that.

Anyway, why don't we just all act like adults

and someone tell me where my arrowhead is?

I'm kind of tied up at the moment.

Mmm. Just how I like my men.

I'll get it for you, Sabal.

Last chance, Jimmy.

You and I can make the perfect team.

There's no "I" in team but there's a "U"

in "Screw you".

Jimmy, don't have to be so vulgar.

Oh, honestly Janie, get your loins under control

and bring me the map!

[ominous music playing]

Start talking.

I want to make a promise first.

-Oh, really? -Yes, really.

Oh, well, this ought to be fun.

I'm going to kill you for murdering my father.

[laughs]

Oh, Jim.

Oh, I thought we decided

not to threaten anymore.

What are you going to do?

-Shoot me? -[laughs] No. No.

Gola!

Okay. Any more threats or are we ready to talk?

JIM: But we did find the trail.

We were going to go out there in the morning.

SABAL: Good. Thank you, Jim.

So now show me on the map where it is.

And we'll go there tomorrow and look for you.

And just to show you

that we're a full service resort,

we'll give you an extra night with full access

to all our staff.

Until I have the arrowhead in my hand.

It was there.

Sheriff.

Yeah, I know it.

I never been there but I know it.

There's a waterfall and some fields.

All right, take Hawk and the others and go there.

-Now. Get it for me. -Hawk, let's go!

[Hawk] Roger that.

I can't believe my search is almost over.

It's been so long.

You've done a lot of horrible things

through the years.

All those innocent lives.

You're going to burn for that.

I agree.

But the good news is I'll live long enough

to forget what I've done.

And you'll live just long enough to see me get it.

It's not far from the truth.

Thanks, man. Thanks for everything.

Always, brother.

GOLA: I never did like that picture.

[emotional piano music playing]

So the shaman.

Was my uncle.

When he removed the arrowhead,

it left a drawing tattoo on his chest.

Like yours.

Yes.

Once everyone started traveling

on the Trail of Tears, my uncle stayed behind.

He needed to keep the arrowhead safe.

And grandmother wasn't going to leave him.

And I wasn't going to leave grandmother.

And she passed away shortly after that.

That was over 150 years ago.

The arrowhead kept my uncle young.

He still aged.

In fact, the arrowhead drawing

would run low, like a-- like a fuel gauge,

and he would get older,

but it was like every year was seven years.

And when he realized it was just him and me,

he put the arrowhead on me so that we can age the same.

But my dad.

My uncle really liked your dad.

And he was close to telling him the truth.

And then they were both killed.

My uncle was a private man

and he didn't even tell me about the arrowhead.

I-- I guess he left me these little clues

along the way so that I can figure it out

in case he wasn't here to tell me.

So you surviving that gunshot?

I-- I kind of put the arrowhead on

so I can do a recharge.

Looks like it's almost back to where it was.

So you're, like, 200 years old.

Give or take a couple of years.

Wow.

Wow.

Well, I...

always liked older women.
