Original subtitles

What'd that monster do to you?

This is Anna Pigeon. Leave a message. She finally got tired and went back home

to New York.

You weren't gonna pay for that.

Someone wanted us to think that Anna was packing and leaving.

I'm Kay.

I'm so sorry.

Should've stayed with you.

Did someone do something to him? We do not know who or what is out there.

Anna!

I got some of this.

The quiet stillness of a deep wood can suffocate us with isolation or breathe

new life into us. Anna, slow down. You need to stop and rest.

Not until I look him in the eye.

Let's see how he likes being trapped.

Hold us hostage or set us free.

It's gone.

What's gone?

What are you looking for?

The rope ladder I used to climb out of the cave. It was right here.

Looks empty.

Yeah, I know that trick.

He's probably hiding.

He might be in there. Let me go in first.

What do you see?

Anything?

Wait, wait. Let me help you. One second.

Where is he?

Um, it's all clear.

There's nobody down here.

No, that doesn't make any sense.

I swear to you, I hit him in the head. I used his ladder to get out of here.

I hit here, right here.

I buried myself waiting for him to come.

And I hit him with the canteen.

There's no canteen, Anna.

Maybe it's the wrong cave.

No, it's not.

Look, right here. I scored this boulder right here, see?

To mark the time.

I don't see anything.

He must have wiped them off.

You don't believe me.

You want to.

Wait, here.

I can prove to you. There's a woman.

She's buried in here.

Okay.

She's... She's in here. Okay, okay.

You're exhausted.

There's someone in here. She was right here.

You're in bad shape.

You're concussed and severely dehydrated.

I'm going to have to leave you overnight for observation.

No, thanks. I'm good. Thank you for your time.

Katie, you want me to come in?

I can make you some tea, and I play a mean game of backgammon.

Thanks. I'm okay. I'm just going to take a shower and go to sleep.

Okay. Well, I'll check back.

Text me if you need anything.

I will. Thanks.

How is she?

She's not good, but she's home.

Yep.

Molly.

Come in.

I, uh, I thought you'd want your stuff.

Police dusted it for a minute, but didn't get anything.

Are you doing okay?

Oh, yeah.

Fire life.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just, uh, a little freaked out, you know?

A bit like a... Trapped mouse being toyed with by a sadistic cat.

If I had a moment alone with this guy... Get in line.

You know, the most terrifying part was going back into that cave to face him

and finding him gone.

He'd be anywhere.

And now he's just out there.

Do you believe me?

Of course.

Did something happen?

No.

No.

You know what?

I don't like the idea of you being alone.

At least until they catch this guy.

Let me stay here.

I'll take the couch.

Let me keep you safe.

Look at me. I'm a mess.

I just need a shower and to go to sleep, okay? I'll be okay.

I'll be all right.

Just, uh, promise you'll call me if you need anything.

I will.

See ya.

Thanks for that. Yeah.

He marked me?

Where's my stuff?

I hear you bud. I hear you.

Who's messing with me?

Come on, K. Talk to me.

Where did he take you?

He wanna hide you?

Hey, sorry, sorry.

I figured I'd find you out here.

If you've come to tell me to go home, you can save it.

Anna.

I believe you.

So, what are we looking for?

I'm looking...

I'm looking for the body of the woman buried in the cave.

She didn't just disappear on her own.

Looks like a piece tore off her jacket.

That's her.

Based on bruising, I'd say she was sexually assaulted.

She's got a skull fracture.

Cause of death was either a blow to the head or a hard fall.

Yeah, we found a slab of rock with traces of blood and hair on it at her

campsite. Hard fall then.

So... She's assaulted at her campsite and then he pushes her and she cracks

her head.

She was dead before she even ended up in the cave.

I'd like to look at her back, please.

Sure.

What are you looking for?

Cuts.

Anything specific?

Other than post-mortem impact injuries, there are no distinguishing cuts.

Can we have a moment?

Shh.

Anna, did something happen to you down there?

Oh, shit.

Anna, I'm so sorry.

Do you know what it means?

No, I don't know.

Do you have any other theories?

It was this college kid that I ticketed on.

Comes across Cave.

Maybe it's a crime of opportunity that's gone all kinds of wrong.

He covers it up.

Doesn't anticipate being caught until he is.

By you, yeah.

Okay, but if he killed Cave, why didn't he kill you?

Maybe we should go ask him.

Oh, Bethany Crocker, my hero.

With everything that's happened, I miss breakfast. Are these the ones with the

walnuts? Mm-hmm, your fave.

Hey.

How's Anna?

It's unclear, yeah.

She took a nasty knock to the head, though.

And after what happened with Sheila...

Oh, it's terrifying.

Whatever happened, Anna's going to need a lot of support.

Well, we're close by. We can keep an eye on her, right?

I can make her some stuff to microwave. I'm sure she'd appreciate that.

Has anyone seen Anna?

I thought she was at home, resting.

No, she went to go check.

What?

Oh, she just messaged me.

Some girls from Washington will show up looking for their friend Kay.

Let me know when they do.

Classic Anna.

Oh, what? You park narks make house calls now?

Special Agent Stanton.

We want to talk to you about a dead park guest.

I don't know anything about what happened to you.

I believe you.

I kicked a piece of shit in the head and you don't have a scratch on you.

That's a nice watch you got.

It's worth more than this trailer.

I saw your friend wearing it.

Look, this could go two ways.

Either you're going down for murder, unlawful confinement, and attempted

murder of a law enforcement officer, or you're just a really good friend who got

put in a tough spot.

Yeah, I helped him move the body.

But I'm not saying any more without a lawyer.

He's either seen too many cop shows or he's been coached.

Coached by someone that can afford that watch.

Yeah, well, there's blood in the band here.

I'll get it tested. We should have the results in a few days.

It's engraved.

To Jaden Polson Strong.

Love, Uncle J.

The kid on the beach, he's a Polson.

Well, let's bring him in.

But if Jeremiah Polson's involved, then... This just became a chess match.

Thanks for coming in, Jeff.

Do you mind taking off the hat and glasses?

No, he doesn't mind.

Ooh, ouch.

A kick in the face will do that to you.

Don't you wish you could read lips?

I keep telling Jeff we need to mic that room.

What happened to your face?

I mean, it's actually a funny story.

Not relevant to why we're here.

Mind telling me where you were six days ago?

I was camping at the beach with my friends.

I can get you their numbers.

Or you can ask Granger Pigeon. She stopped by the beach.

Did you leave your campsite at any time?

No.

You know, we're here as a courtesy, Jeff, so if you don't mind just moving

this along. Actually, it's not a courtesy to talk to the FBI, Mr.

Paulson. It is when you don't have any evidence against my nephew.

Hey, Zoe.

For JP.

Checkmate, you little piece of shit. Do you recognize this woman?

Go ahead and answer.

You have nothing to hide.

Yes,

sir. We met.

You met and, uh, and what?

Asked and answered. So how'd you guys meet?

Did she come by your campsite? Did any of your friends meet her? Anna, Manny

directed two court guests to the office.

You're gonna want to talk to these women.

They're from Washington.

Case friends.

Kay Wilson.

We were supposed to meet her.

I'm really sorry to tell you this, but... Kay, um, died

in the park.

Oh, my God.

What happened?

Uh, we're still trying to piece everything together.

I-I was hiking.

So you did leave your campsite. He's just answered you, Agent. Why are you

badgering JCP? There's a woman dead, Mr. Palsman. Yes, that is defamation, unless

you have proof.

Ooh.

Actually, I'm so glad that you said that.

Look familiar?

It's got cave blood on it.

You see the sand on your watch?

That's just the sand in the cave.

JP, look at me.

You killed Kay.

You buried her in that cave.

And then Ranger Pigeon caught you, and then you pushed her in there, too. Then

you tormented her.

And what, boy, you didn't think that she would get out?

Let's go.

We're leaving.

But she didn't. We're leaving now. So is that why you got your buddy Caleb to

help you move Kay's body?

You think it only cost you a watch.

Thank you very much. What's happening?

I promise you I will get justice for Kay.

I promise.

Stay close. Stay close. Thank you.

Hey! I want to talk to you. Oh, no, we're done. Talk. What happened to your

face, JP?

What'd you do to Kate?

Let me just... Look, like I told your friends in there, we met.

We had sex. It was consensual.

She was alive when I left. Bullshit!

I saw the bruises, I saw her body, and we both know what you did to me.

He doesn't know what you're talking about. I think he does. I think he

assaulted Kay, and then you killed her, and then you drugged me and branded me

like one of your cows.

Get in the truck.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What I can't figure out is the sandwiches.

That's pretty messed up. You stop yelling, listen to me.

My nephew's a disappointment, but he's not a master criminal.

Where was he three nights ago?

Three nights ago was at the Lewiston Cattle Exchange.

Check his socials. These kids, they document everything.

Good luck.

Hey!

This isn't over.

You hear me?

It's not over!

Anna! Anna, it's so good to see you. I heard about the camper. It's terrible.

What are you doing?

I'm okay.

Make sure you keep your doors locked.

Hey, where's Riley? I sent her to stay with my mom just until you catch this

guy. Smart.

Is there anything we can do?

Just look out for each other.

Make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

We'll stick together.

Oh.

Riley's calling to say goodnight. I'll catch you in a bit. See you.

I'll walk you.

It's like you said, we gotta stick together.

Watch out for each other.

Is anyone gonna be with you tonight?

I'll be fine.

What? You can't be alone.

I've got Manny, and I am still freaked out. I am taking... Every precaution,

I've got bear spray and panic whistles.

Maybe I should be walking you home.

You're so sweet to be worried about everyone else.

What makes you so brave?

My husband was murdered. My perspective might be a little skewed.

Gosh, that's awful.

Got some sore spots.

Oh, sorry.

Thanks for the escort home, all right?

Get home safe.

We need a gun, Manny.

This isn't what we signed up for.

Did you know that her husband was murdered?

Yes. Maybe this has something to do with that.

We have to leave.

First Sheila, now...

Anna, now, next, me, who?

We can't afford to go.

You know this.

We could call my dad.

Bethany, no.

I really think that if we just ask him, he would help us. I don't want a handout

from a man I never even met.

I know you think you have a relationship with him, but as far as I can tell, he

doesn't want to acknowledge you or even know you. I want a dream beyond the

park, though.

He's never been there for you.

What is he?

What's his name?

Why doesn't he come over for dinner? Fine, fine!

Maybe something bad will happen to me, and we don't need to worry about it.

Don't say that. Well, bad things come in threes, so... We're gonna

be okay, right?

Nothing bad is gonna happen. What happened to you?

You saw it with Anna in the park.

Everyone's got you.

You're safe.

You're safe.

Mind if I keep you company?

Focus, Tom.

You think Anna's safe?

Where the hell packed this box?

Oh.

Did you find who dropped off the box?

Not yet, but I got a couple vehicles on a speed camera at a general store.

On this one, the time stamp is 6.45.

And that's around the time your box dropped off.

Get a plate?

No, but check this out.

You can see the decal.

J. Paulson Ranch.

It's circumstantial.

Jaden Paulson is lawyered up.

We need more than just his uncle's truck driving around on local roads.

He's too rich to pay for his crimes.

At the beach, even here at the ranger station, J.P. was running his mouth.

Yeah, and Jeremiah was protecting him hard.

J.P. owes him a thank you card.

Jeremiah said J.P.

is a disappointment, not a criminal mastermind. But JP thinks he's a

criminal mastermind, so what if we play into that?

What are you thinking?

There are cameras everywhere, so I go alone.

I act weak so he feels powerful.

I bait him, get him to take me back down into the cave.

Once we're there, he'll think he has the upper hand. Then he'll be more likely to

brag about his exploits if he thinks I'm taking him to the grave.

Anna, he tried to kill you.

He can't use you as bait.

It's a solid plan.

And our best chance of getting a confession out of him. Man, you don't

get it. You have people now.

I know.

But I'm not letting him get away with this, okay?

It's a good plan.

Let's go.

And Anna won't be alone.

We'll be right there waiting.

Hey, how was these dropping?

I'm on the radio if you guys need extra backup.

That Moniel Paulson, he's crafty.

Watch yourself out there. Thanks, Frida.

Ranger Pigeon.

It's nice to see you again.

Sadly, I'm not supposed to talk to you without my lawyer.

Look, this isn't official.

I'm not in uniform.

This whole thing has really got me feeling off balance, and honestly, I

came to apologize.

Can I come in?

Thanks.

Is your uncle home?

He's out.

You know I was just about to have lunch.

Would you join me?

Sure. Thanks.

I'm sorry I came after you in the parking lot.

And on the beach.

To be fair, I went after your friend at the beach, Caleb.

Maybe he's the one that pushed me into the cave.

You know, he is a little less refined than some of my other friends.

Look, JP, I don't think that you did this.

But Kay deserves justice.

I was held against my will.

I mean, if I could sleep, I'm sure I'd have nightmares.

I keep reliving it over and over again.

Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better had I not gotten out.

JP, if you know something, I need your help.

Please.

Maybe we can go back to that cave together.

and maybe you'll see something that I missed.

Okay.

Sure.

Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah, I can help you piece it together, see if you remember anything about

whoever did this to you.

I'll drive.

Great.

You know where the cave is, right?

Hey, you two.

Who's hungry?

Bethany.

What are you doing here?

Oh, you don't look so good.

Let's get you some air.

What did you do to her? Oh, shut up.

Follow me, Lee.

It's a good thing I stepped in, because that idiot was going to walk right into

your plant.

You chugged the tea?

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Grab her!

Okay.

God.

Okay, okay. We need to... Keys.

We need to get our keys.

Get our truck off the property. Take it to a trailhead somewhere.

Are you serious?

Yeah! Go!

Okay, okay.

Your friends don't need to hear this.

Now it's just us girls.

You're not recording anymore.

Nothing topside anything on the ground.

No, I'll quiet here too And

I should have been here by

now something's wrong Where

are you taking me?

I can't take you to where your friends are waiting, that's for sure.

You're always in the way.

You pushed me in the cave.

JP pushed you. I'm cleaning up his mess.

Don't worry.

I'll make it look like an accident.

Everyone knows how much you love to drink.

You're crazy.

I was only going to keep you down there long enough to scare you into leaving.

anything in that cave.

It was to sip my tea slowly.

Thanks, Manny.

Manny!

Looks like the knife.

We found it in a bottle of xylosine, which is a horse tranquilizer she could

have used to drug you.

And we got JP.

Yeah, looks like we got everything we need.

It's so weird.

even these my underwear yeah well you might know

might be time for boxers

yeah all right

take care of yourself thank you oh i mean it i know

Hey. Feels a little strange around here.

Yeah, it's been a hell of a week.

A woman I thought was my friend tried to kill me.

Jeremiah Paulson wants my head on a platter.

Maybe that box Bethany packed was a sign. I don't really know what's here

for me.

Hey, I'm still here.

I know you are.

I know, and I know that...

You were the first person to start looking for me before anyone even

realized I was missing.

And that means a lot.

I just need some time.

I feel like I don't even know you anymore.

I hardly recognize myself.

I never had anything that was just mine.

My parents never got married. My dad wasn't around.

I never had love till I met you.

When you joined the army, I became an army wife.

When your injury turned you into an addict, I went to Naranon.

So when we finally came here, I thought, this is it. This is home.

And she did it all for us.

And everything was coming together perfectly until she...

I need help.

I need help. I need help. I need help. I need help. I messed up. What happened?

Listen, I was fooling around with this girl in the park.

She hit her head. It was bad. It was really bad. I tried to hide her body, so

I buried her in this cave. Jay, you need to call the police. No, no, no, no. You

have to help me, okay? You are the help.

Solomon was in an accident. It doesn't matter because a ranger saw me, so I

pushed her in, okay?

It was a pigeon, something pigeon.

Don't say anything.

I'll do it. You leave it to me.

I'm the help.

What exactly did that little shit do now?

Your nephew accidentally killed a girl on his camping trip.

Oh, my.

Say the word and I can help.

You are asking me to have a lot of faith in you, Bethany.

I just want what's best for you and this family.

Don't disappoint me.

I'm gonna get you help.

I'm gonna put a call to the VA tomorrow in the morning. No, Manuel.

Manuel, Manuel, I don't need help from them.

Bethany?

Call my dad.

His number's in my phone.

Please call my dad.

You're not going to push me off the edge, are you?

Only if you try to yodel.

Wow.

How did you know they'd be here?

I have my next game.

My buffalo rock. This brings me good luck in bringing them here.

Growing up... I heard stories on how the ground here would shake with the thunder

of hooves.

As far as I could see, there was buffalo.

Then planes here stood empty for a long time.

But the buffalo made its way back with a little help from us.

I brought you up here to remind you that this place is worth fighting for.

And also that even a lone wolf circles back to its pack sometimes.

I just want you to know that it got you.

Thank you.

Any chance you want to carry me back?

We got a truck parked up the road.

There's a road.

There's always a road.

Nature has a way of carving herself a path.

I came here to disappear.

But I realized, if we don't give in to our despair, darkness has no hold over

us.

And the path back to the light is around every corner.

Looks like someone went through here.

Next Friday on the hit series, Anna Pigeon.

Is he glowing?

Sir, can you tell us what happened?

I fell from the sky.

There are no straight lines in nature.

Someone was down here.

Where's he been? He's been dead for 20 years.

I don't want to pretend that what happened didn't happen. I'm not good

with feelings.

I'm naked again.

Anna Pigeon. New episode next Friday at 10 on USA.

Set your DVR.
