Original subtitles

only scratched the surface, Ridge.

- What the hell does that mean?

Who's running this?

- I'm just a pawn in the game.

- Talk to me, you son of a bitch.

Is Elsie Hendricks involved?

(tense music)

(upbeat music)

- Dad?

Autumn told me that you guys had a breakthrough.

Are you okay?

(sinister music)

Well, we are a government agency that operates largely

in the shadows and you're about to find out why.

- Where are you?

- [Mariella] I, I'm at your place.

Just finishing up some reports.

(sinister music)

- 1963, JFK assassinated,

the Don L. Hunter interview of Sasquatch Sighting.

1967, scandals in the Lyndon B. Johnson administration.

The Patterson-Gimlin file surfaces.

1981, attempted assassination on President Reagan,

multiple sightings, Chesapeake, Northwest River.

Just some of the evidence.

I'm finally listening.

Who are you?

(sinister music)

- [Mariella] I've gotta stop running, Dad.

- Who do you work for?

- [Mariella] The CIA.

- Then what's the USCRC?

- It's just to cover.

It's a shell operation.

- [Sheriff Ridge] And the beast?

- We use it for a distraction.

We use it to redirect the people's attention for confusion.

The Beast is just a tool that's used by an agency

that will go to any extreme to accomplish its goals.

- [Sheriff Ridge] How long?

- Decades.

- [Sheriff Ridge] How big is this?

- It's just one of many in the house of cards.

UAPs, weapons of mass destruction, cyber wars,

terrorist attacks, all of it, they're all just tools.

But if you can expose this, then it all unravels.

- Why you?

Why me?

Why the victims?

And why this town, Mar?

- Because I was told that we worked for the greater good

and I believed it.

And as every advancement got greater,

the lies got bigger and the stakes got higher.

- Oh, no, no, no, not you, Mar, not my baby.

- I have been trapped for so long.

(tense music)

But I knew that you could put a stop to this

because you're smart, and capable,

and you were drowning, Dad.

(tense music)

- This is too big to go back in the box

and be hidden like it's been in the past.

- And I know you will do what's right, Dad,

because that's who you really are.

(tense music)

- You did good, sweetheart.

You don't have to run anymore, Mar.

I'll take it from here.

(tense music)

(door creaking)

She's ready.

(tense music)

- We'll handle this the best way possible.

- She's gonna need protection.

- [Jackson] You can count on me.

- I owe you one, Jackson.

- My brother, you saved my life back in the sandbox.

(tense music)

Hey, gonna figure this out, okay?

(tense music)

- [Mariella] Daddy.

- [Sheriff Ridge] Mar, what's wrong?

(tense music)

(birds chirping)

- My name is Eli and I'm an alcoholic.

- [All] Hey, Eli.

- Some of you already know my story,

but I never thought I had a problem.

I worked hard, I put on a good show,

and I tried to keep most people out of it,

but the people who really knew me, who really cared,

they saw where I was.

And they pushed me to get real help, to make real change.

And that's what this is all about.

Making real change with people who really care.

So let's start by saying the Serenity Prayer.

- [All] God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

- Amen, amen.

Well, why don't you get us started and we'll go clockwise.

- [Penny] My name's Penny.

I'm an alcoholic.

- [All] Hi, Penny.

- I think my need to escape started when I was a kid.

(ominous music)

I got really tired of the lies, you know,

hiding from my family, and my kids, and everybody.

You know, it's just, it's hard.

(ominous music)

(Sheriff Ridge breathing heavily)

- Who are you?

(ominous music)

(Sheriff Ridge breathing heavily)

- [Etheric Voice] My child, surrender.

It's the only way.

(gentle music)

- And that was the moment when everything changed.

I had to admit I couldn't do it by myself.

(gentle music)

I needed God and his children to hold me up, to help me.

Guess I was broken.

- That's awesome, Penny.

- Keep coming back.

- Thank you, Penny.

(gentle music)

Would you like to go next?

- My name's Titus and I'm an alcoholic.

- [All] Welcome, Titus.

(birds chirping)

- Titus.

That took a lot of courage admitting you needed help.

It's good.

This is just the beginning, brother.

How do you feel?

- I feel in alignment, like everything's changed.

- Yeah.

Well, you got a whole lot of change coming your way.

You're gonna go through the pink cloud phase, alright?

It's, it's new passions and ideas.

Whole new way of thinking.

You might even hear voices, see visions, all good things,

it's all good things.

Just remember who you are.

And keep coming back.

- Okay.

(bright music)

- Hi, Titus.

- Hey.

- You sure you're ready for this?

- Yeah.

(all applauding)

Hey, you guys leaving already?

- Yeah, man.

We had a ball game to go to.

- Aaron, come on, baby, we gotta go.

- Okay.

(calming music)

- Oh yeah, hey, Ridge, my phone will be off.

- Hey, it's a real special night

for Sheriff Ridge and Autumn.

You got something you can play for them?

- I sure do.

- Thanks. - Sure do.

Hey, you guys,

how are y'all joying Trinity's 25th annual Fall festival?

(all cheering and applauding)

You know, I just had a request to do a song

that's never ever been heard before.

And up until just a couple of seconds ago,

it didn't even have a title.

But I think I'll call this one, Autumn Ridge.

- Hey, Sheriff, you got a sec?

- Yeah, what's up, Woody?

- Hey, man, I keep hearing all this stuff about a beast.

Do you really believe all that?

- I'm not too sure about a beast,

but I do believe in Trinity.
