Original subtitles

- Previously onThe Border... - Have you been drinking?

- Stop interrogating me. I'm not a terrorist.

- Zoe, it's my job to protect you.

I've seen people who lived in peace for over 30 years start killing each other overnight.

- I can't just turn that off. - Careful, Dad.

- You almost said "Bosnia." - Hey, Maia.

- Her professor is recommending her

for a scholarship.

You're pretty cocky.

- My mini-bar's got club soda. Next round's on me?

Put some pants on.

Big Smoke standing by.

- [What's the word?] - Reception's good here.

Kokanee?

- Show's coming on right after the next commercial.

- Could be some violence. - If it gets bad, walk away.

It's on.

'Morning.

- Where are you traveling from today?

- Four Oaks, Idaho. You know where that is, don't you?

- [How many people do you have traveling with you today?]

- What's the purpose of your trip? - See family.

- Would you open the side doors of your vehicle, please?

Open the doors, Myrna.

- Do you have anything to declare?

It's a beautiful day.

- Okay, I'm gonna need everybody to proceed into

- the customs building, please. - Why?

- I'll need you to pull your vehicle over for inspection.

- [Man sighing] - It's all right.

There's nothing to worry about. Just mind your manners.

[Van door closed shut]

- Okay, women and children are clear. - Copy.

[Starting the engine]

- Suspect's fleeing Stateside. - Let him go.

Gray: [You kiddin' me?]

[Siren sounding]

[Other siren sounding]

- Hey, you left a few things back

in Canada, like wives, children.

- Homeland Security. Stop where you are!

- No, no, no, no-- - Drop your weapon! - You got the wrong--

- Shut up! Get down on the ground.

Face down. [Background radio conversation]

- I'm trying to tell you-- - Agent Liz Carver. And you are?

- Detective Sergeant Gray Jackson, ICS.

- I'd show you my badge-- - Roll over.

- I got other tricks, if you want to see them.

- What the hell are you doing? - Just search the van, okay?

You'll find enough guns for another Waco.

You better be right.

[Background radio conversation]

- Mike, make sure you check the Sider as well.

Yep. Open it.

- Where do you guys get your intel? Tarot cards?

- Our border guard told us Clarence Barden smuggled guns.

- Should've done your homework. Now your mistake is my problem.

- [Background chatter] - Alright, well, guns and cash.

- The Barden family are drug smugglers, not gunrunners.

We've been tracking them for 18 months.

Do you have any idea who these guys are?

- Yeah, Church of the Universal Covenant.

Clarence heads the Four Oaks compound in Idaho.

- You knew who your target was. That's comforting.

That's the extent of your massive weapons shipment.

- Well, he didn't declare it.

[Background chatter]

- We were waiting for these guys to come back across the line

with 300 grand worth of BC Bud from their sister community--

- Shepherd's Valley, the Canadian side of the family.

- Drug trafficking - that's 5 to 10.

But instead, we have undeclared export of U.S. currency -

- a big old 2,500-dollar fine. - Ah, don't forget the firearm.

Okay, alright, your charges might've been better.

Tell you what, why not invite Clarence back across the line

to join his family and we can interview him together.

- It's the least I can do. - You admit when you're wrong.

- I like that. - I've had lots of practice.

- How could you have been so off base with the guns, Jason?

- I'm sorry, Maggie. My contact told me there'd be a huge stash.

- Who's your contact? - Guy in Shepherd's Valley.

We can detain the Bardens though

for failing to declare the Winchester.

- A hunting rifle's not enough to throw the book at these guys.

How 'bout the cash?

- Jesus, Jason, where the hell is your brain?

- Traded in for a bag of hammers? - I'm sorry--

- Hardly the kind of major op that warrants a superintendent

and a detective sergeant to schlep across the country. - I know. I messed up--

- Yeah, yeah, you sure as shit did!

It's a colossal waste

of taxpayers' money, and it's embarrassing for ICS.

And I don't know if I can get you out of this.

- Why were you importing 300,000 into Canada?

- It's for the new schoolhouse in Shepherd's Valley.

- If it's all legit, why didn't you declare it?

- Look, our Canadian brothers and sisters are under persistent attack by your government

and I didn't want to draw undue attention to the community.

- And the Dukes of Hazzard stunt was what? Some sort of religious rite?

- My family and I are being treated like criminals.

- Happens - when you break the law. - No.

You don't see it, do you?

This is a personal vendetta by your border guard, Jason Whitmore.

[Gray chuckling]

It was him who asked you to search our vehicle, wasn't it? - What makes you think that?

- I guess you didn't bother to do a background check.

Jason was born into a celestial union.

- Tell me he's not Universal Covenant.

- His mother is my wife's sister.

His late father was a member of the priesthood. - Mr. Whitmore's family tree--

- The boy ran away from home when he was 13.

He broke his mother's heart.

And all he has left is hatred for those who raised him.

- We're gonna charge you with importing an undeclared firearm

and currency over 10,000.

- [TV reporter]: But it's the possible whiff

of religious persecution that has many demanding

a full investigation into the conduct of ICS.

- They have clearly violated our right to freedom of religion.

The ICS is on a witch hunt...

- Gray's up to his ass in alligators.

- My family has been detained without legal representation.

I demand the ICS release my daughter, Rachel.

- Gators like to play with their food.

Drag it down, soften it up...

...of what was, no doubt,

hours of intense and humiliating interrogation.

- Ouch. I think Wally Gator just swallowed Gray whole.

[Tracking terrorists,]

nailing smugglers, deporting criminals?

Are you so bored you must shake this particular hornet's nest?

- We followed a bad lead. It happens.

- The Church of the Universal Covenant is Christian-based.

Some of this government's core supporters-- - I've ordered an investigation.

- Good. In case you haven't noticed, religion is the PM's favorite fundamental freedom.

So for Christ's sake, release Barden's daughter.

- He's a good kid. Trained under me when he was fresh out of college.

- Did he happen to mention he grew up in a cult?

- I knew he came from a strict religious background, yes.

- Yeah, where Mom and Dad were siblings.

- He cut ties with his family and was looking for a mother figure: stuck to me like Velcro.

- Well, it's time to cut those apron strings before he drags you down.

- Look, give it a break. We haven't even heard him out yet.

- Jesus, Maggie! Open your eyes and see--

- Would you mind if I had a talk with Rachel Barden before you release her?

Yeah, I'll take you in.

[Pop music]

Hi, Dad.

- You staying tonight? [Turning off the music]

Yeah.

Uh, I made quesadillas. I left the stuff out if you want one.

Thank you.

- Exams? - Yup.

Three tomorrow and two on Wednesday.

- Eleven people came out of that van.

- I double-checked the paperwork.

We processed 9 women and children, plus Clarence. [Cell phone ringing]

- Apparently, we never had Rachel in custody.

- Or she gave your guys the slip.

So you screw up a drug-trafficking bust,

piss off a cult leader and somehow manage to lose track of the man's teenage daughter?

- That about covers it, yeah. - Pretty standard day for you?

[Background radio conversation]

Hey, Canada.

You hungry? I'm starving.

There's a little girl missing.

I'm not really thinking about food.

- I always think better after a good meal.

For dessert, I might even serve up some intel on the Barden family.

I could eat.

- [Background country music] - Can I eat your pickle?

Hm.

[Background chatter and music]

- So, tell me what you know about Shepherd's Valley.

- Not a lot. I don't get out to the B.C. backwoods much.

- You think this is backwoods? Try Bovill, Idaho: good solid people,

but a lot of trucker hats.

So Clarence Barden was telling the truth about the money

for Shepherd's Valley - but not for a school.

You know who this is?

Orlen Taylor. Head of both Four Oaks and Shepherd's Valley.

God's prophet on earth to about 6,000 people. - FBI's Top Ten List.

- Wanted for multiple counts of rape

and conspiracy to rape, mostly minors.

- Well, that's kind of a given when you marry your 14-year-old niece.

- You hear about that woman in Seattle?

Butchered in her kitchen, kids slaughtered and stuffed in pillowcases.

We think Orlen put out the order for blood atonement.

- Interesting take on the Ten Commandments.

- Murder in the name of cleansing sin -

one of the more heart-warming tenets of their faith. - You got any leads on him?

- The money that Clarence Barden and his clan make

from their grow op in Shepherd's Valley keeps Orlen on the run.

- You bust my balls and Clarence isn't even the guy you want?

- He's gotta know where Orlen's hiding. - So you grab Clarence,

and you hold the charges over him 'til he gives up the goods.

- Maybe you're not just another scruffy face.

- Maybe you're not just a potato farmer's daughter.

- Has the Barden girl been released?

- Uh, Rachel is not in our custody.

- Not in our custody. [TV playing in the background]

Wait a sec.

- What about your exams? - Brain's full.

- Bye, Dad. - What did you get from our border guard?

- I'll re-interview him. There's something he's not telling me.

- [If there's even a hint] this is payback for his religious upbringing--

- No one wants another helping of Clarence Barden's wrath.

But I'm not sacrificing the kid before I get the whole story.

- I can give you cover until tomorrow.

But I need a full report on my desk by noon.

Thanks, Mike.

- So where's a 15-year-old girl with a 7th grade education

and no money gonna hide?

- Maybe she saw the chance for freedom and took it.

- You met the Universal Covenant kids? From the minute they're born,

they're taught that the world is full of demons waiting to drag their souls to hell.

- And we're the monsters under the bed. Terrific.

- Rachel's gonna go to the one place she feels safe in Canada.

Shepherd's Valley.

- You know it's not too far from here.

We could... get a warrant.

- Right, and if I happen to be going, I could bring you along.

- Is that it? - Someone might let it slip where Orlen's hiding.

- [Cell phone ringing] - Forget it.

I've been told hands off in the name of religious tolerance.

- Jackson. - Any sign of the missing girl?

- No, we're still working on it. [Does Kessler know yet?]

- Don't think so, but you're on borrowed time.

Slade ran your background check on the border guard.

- Anything? - [Jason knew Rachel Barden.]

Here, check this out. [Electronic beeps]

- Yeah, there's definite eye contact.

He knows her for sure. [You gonna let Maggie know?] - Aren't you with her?

Uh, no.

- Out of the office two days [and you're already working the hook up.]

- Unbelievable. - You sure you want to go there?

Have a good night.

Girlfriend?

- No, it's a co-worker.

Nobody special.

[Siren sounding]

- [Phone ringing] - That the guy we pissed off?

- Clarence Barden. Head of Four Oaks in Idaho.

Twelve wives, 47 children.

- That's a lot of running shoes. - I'm surprised he even noticed Rachel was missing.

- So our border guard was kicked out of Shepherd's Valley when he was 13.

- One of the Lost Boys. Non-vampire subset.

See, the geezers run 'em off so they can keep the young girls for themselves.

- Kinda like Hollywood producers. - And they say romance is dead.

- The men can't make it into heaven's VIP lounge

without a minimum of 3 wives.

- How do these guys pay their grocery bills? - Polygamy arithmetic.

It's like a pyramid scheme. If you're on top, you're richer than God.

And if you're on the bottom, you're a sand flea.

- And welfare fraud, tax evasion and slave labor don't hurt.

- So Rachel's the daughter of her own cousin?

- I'm pretty sure someone in there's his own grandpa. - That's Jason's mom.

- No, no, no, Jason's what, 21? What's she there?

- Thirty-five. - My sister, my mother. Sister.

She was fourteen.

- [Layla]: Clarence sent her north to marry Lloyd. - It's not marriage. It's rape.

- Clarence Barden was telling the truth: Jason has good reason to hate him.

[Slade snapping his fingers and phone ringing]

[Knocking at the door]

Jason?

It's Maggie. [Dog barking outside]

Jason?

Hey, Jase?

Hm.

- [Video]: It was good to see you again, Jason.

I know that I was just little when you left, but I remember

you were always really sweet to me.

I would have said hello, but I was afraid they'd punish me.

I'm sending this from Daddy's office

and I don't know how much time I have.

But I don't have anybody else to talk to.

I want to leave,

but I don't- I don't know how, I don't know where I'd go. [Door opening]

Where's Rachel?

I don't know.

She contacted me out of nowhere--

- We saw you together on video surveillance at the border. - I talked to her, that's all.

- She was tired of her life in Four Oaks.

Thought you might be her ticket out, is that it?

- She emailed me a couple of times. - You helped her escape.

- Clarence was going to make her marry her uncle Dermott.

He's 60. He's got 8 wives already. Beats the shit out of them all the time.

- Did you fabricate the weapons smuggling as a smoke screen?

- She told me there'd be guns. I never meant to screw things up for you, Maggie.

I'm sorry. She was so scared. I had to do something.

Look.

I shot this on my cell phone.

I got dozens more like that.

These old guys traffic underage brides across the border.

- From Idaho into B.C.? - Goes both ways.

It's the problem with kicking out all the boys: Gene pool gets kind of shallow.

- Jason, you are in a lot of trouble.

And I will do everything that I can to help you,

but right now, I need you to tell me where Rachel is.

She can't go back.

You have to promise you won't tell her family where she is.

- She's a minor. You could be charged with kidnapping. - I don't care.

Just, please-- I'll tell you where she's hiding.

Just promise me you won't send her back.

I can't do that.

Oh, come on, Jason.

Jason! Jason!

[Dog barking] Don't be stupid!

[Starting the engine]

Shit! [Dog barking and phone ringing]

- Jackson. - [Jason's taken off.]

- [He knows where Rachel is.] - I'm on my way. - We got a lead?

Yeah, Jason bolted.

With any luck, he'll lead us straight to Rachel. - I'm coming with you.

[Siren sounding and motorist honking in the background]

Yeah.

Picked up some chatter on Mountie FM.

- They got a lead on Jason. - Where?

- Sounds like he was Alberta-bound. Gray and Maggie are on the way.

- Let's hope Jason has the missing girl with him. - You--

You heard about that?

[Siren sounding]

[Siren stopping]

[Other siren sounding]

Jason, you stupid bastard!

- [Gray]: We've got at least 4 people at the scene.

- Couple in cowboy boots. - [Maggie]: These ones are smaller. Maybe Rachel.

- One of the polygamists shoots our boy,

the others grab the girl, throw her in their car and Jason bleeds out.

- I want a word with Clarence Barden!

- I doubt he pulled the trigger. - Oh, he's in it up to his neck.

Rachel was supposed to marry his brother, Dermott.

- Jason comes along and puts all sorts of dangerous ideas in her head?

- He helped her escape. Noble. Stupid.

- Your forensics retrieved the shells.

We're looking for a .380 caliber.

[Maggie sighing]

I'm sorry, Maggie.

[Background radio conversation]

- The kid was obviously in over his head.

He was one of ours.

- It's a homicide. Let the Horsemen sort it out.

- Someone murdered a 21-year-old border guard.

My agents aren't leaving 'til they find his killer.

If that means raiding every Universal Covenant property in the process, so be it.

[Banging his cell phone down]

Uh, boss?

Forensics retrieved Jason's cell phone from the crime scene. - Anything promising?

- A corrupted video file. Pfft! They can't even open it.

- Monkeys with mittens. - Are they sending-- - Already on its way.

Monkeys did pull a time stamp though.

Footage was shot around time of death.

- Jason may have tried to show us his killer. - Yep.

[Background radio conversation]

[Phone ringing]

Find your missing girl yet?

- No sign of her. There's a good chance whoever killed Jason has plans for her, too.

- She's probably on her way back to Idaho to marry Uncle Dermott.

- That's why I need you to take me to the Four Oaks compound.

- Unbelievable. You wouldn't take me to Shepherd's Valley.

- I should take you to Four Oaks? - Because a teenage girl is missing

and the guy who tried to help her is dead.

We'll need a warrant.

- Ballistics confirmed the shells came from a .380.

Guess who happens to own one of those?

- My good buddy, Clarence.

Okay, I'll make a call.

[Speed-dialing beeps] Judge Stevens is a soft touch.

- Hi, Maia. It's Chicha. I can't make it tonight.

I'm sorry. I'll give you a call tomorrow.

- [Rachel]: I tried talking to Daddy.

And he said that-- Daddy.

And he said that God

has revealed to him that I belong with Dermott.

And they hate me. They don't want another sister-wife.

Everybody hates me.

I wanna run away.

But I'm scared they're gonna find me.

[Dog barking in the background]

- You know, even if Rachel's there and we rescue her,

she's still got no one on the outside.

Jason's gone.

She'll have to start her life all over again with nothing.

She'll have her faith.

- You think she still believes in God?

He hasn't done her any favors lately.

- Just 'cause she's questioning polygamy doesn't mean she's an atheist.

- Yeah, I guess "all God all the time"

to "flying spaghetti monster" is a pretty big leap.

Maybe too much to hope for.

You don't believe in God?

Not really. You?

- My father's a Methodist minister.

[Uneasy laugh]

We're not all blonde, corn-fed cheerleaders.

- No, I-- I didn't picture you

as a churchgoer.

I mean, the things you see in this job.

How can you believe in a higher power?

- How could I do this job if I didn't?

Rooster's gone. Good time to talk to the chickens.

- This is private property. - What's this -

- the God Squad? - Excuse my colleague, Dan.

He's from north of the line. How's your dad holding up? - He's not here.

- Dan and Rodney have a right to be on edge. They must be worried about their little sister.

- She went missing. In Canada.

- I never met her, but I gather she wasn't too keen on marrying her 60-year-old uncle.

- Rachel disappeared before the Canadians could talk to her.

We know she's not here. We just have to take a quick look around so we can say we did.

Uncle Dermott?

Liz Carver is here with the Canadian cop.

Thanks, boys.

Nicely handled.

- That's how we do it down Idaho Way.

[Engines starting]

[Background chatter]

[Baby crying and kids talking]

- [Woman]: Charlene? Charlene, over this way.

[Other woman]: Come on, honey.

[Background chatter]

- This is Rachel's dashing fiancé?

Stay here.

My brother believes that you're responsible

for his beloved daughter's disappearance.

- His beloved daughter begged our border guard to help her run away.

Your border guard's a liar.

Actually, he's dead.

Thanks to a .380 automatic - same kind owned by your brother.

He reported it missing.

- Ah, come on, guys, this is getting old.

- You're not going in there with the women. - I'll go.

June?

Make sure our guest is comfortable.

- I'll take care of the outbuildings.

You have a lovely home.

Water?

That'd be wonderful.

I thought you were married to Lloyd Whitmore up in Shepherd's Valley.

- He died. I'm married to Dermott, now.

[Clock ticking in the background]

[Clock striking the hour]

Those are the Rs.

Clarence likes to name all the babies

born in the same year, the same letter.

That's Randy,

Rachel, Rosalynn,

Robert

and Reese.

- Have you heard from Rachel since she left for Canada?

She disappeared while she was in custody.

Maybe she came back here?

No.

- She'd been speaking to your son, Jason.

I don't know if you heard. He was killed--

- Jason was excommunicated 8 years ago.

I'm sorry for your loss.

- Rachel would never talk to him.

- Because it would make Clarence angry?

- I can't speak for my husband's brother.

- So Rachel was going to become your sister-wife.

[Uneasy laugh] Did she ever tell anyone she didn't want to marry Dermott?

- Ah, that girl's always complaining!

Her mother tries to discipline her,

but Clarence won't have it.

- He spoils her. - Hm. Rachel's his favorite?

- She turns heads wherever she goes. Always has.

Even when he was here.

- Orlen Taylor? - He saw her at one of the picnics.

- Said Rachel was to be his wife. - Wasn't she already promised to Dermott?

- Clarence told him he couldn't have her.

How did that go over?

Hm.

Some call Orlen Taylor the prophet.

But Clarence had a revelation directly from God.

And if Orlen was the true prophet,

he would not ask Clarence

to disobey the Lord and break his promise.

- [Door opening] - I checked the outbuildings.

- No sign of Rachel. - You've got 10 minutes to get off our property.

- If there's ever anything I can do,

call me, okay?

I have no need for that.

[Door closing]

- Clarence stood up to Orlen Taylor. Didn't think he had it in him.

- If Orlen really wanted Rachel, he wouldn't let Clarence stand in his way.

It's all about a pretty face.

If Rachel's our Helen of Troy,

we've gotta be ready for the thousand ships.

[Hip-hop music and knocking]

Uh, hi.

Is- is Mike Kessler here?

- I think he's working late. - Oh.

We're supposed to go to go see a movie at the Cinematheque.

My phone died.

He probably left a message.

If he calls, would you tell him Maia was here for him? - Sure.

- I'll leave the ticket at the desk. - At the Cinematheque.

Yes.

Thanks.

[Music still playing in the background]

- Maggie: [Can you clean it up, give us the full picture?]

- I'm trying. I haven't seen this kind of corruption since Gray's expense report.

- What about the audio? - [I sent it to Ernie the Ear.]

Guy can tell a squished grape from a squashed tomato in a two-second clip.

- Quite the talent. - [He isolated the sound of the engine.]

He thinks we're looking for a late-90s, early-2000 V6.

Probably a domestic minivan.

Dodge Grand Caravan, Pontiac Montana [something like that.]

- Great lead, but we're the only ones here not driving minivans. - Yeah, well, check this out.

We're looking for a license plate

with an 'E' and a '4.'

[I know it's not exactly a case- breaker but I wanted to do better for your friend.]

You're still my geek.

Follow up with the motor vehicle offices in B.C. and Idaho.

- You mean, deal directly with humans? - Fine, I'll do it.

- What are you still doing at the office, anyway? It's gotta be after midnight.

- Just catching up on some stuff. How's it going out there?

No sign of the girl.

But she's the prize all the old guys want - including Orlen Taylor.

- The FBI's Most Wanted? - [Mm-hm.]

- Orlen might've killed Jason and grabbed Rachel. [Knocking at the door]

DHS thinks Clarence will send [someone to get her back]

so they're watching the Four Oaks compound.

- [Follow the rescue party] to the girl and the fugitive?

- Uh, yeah. Can I phone you back? - Sure.

- I have to bring in Orlen Taylor without violating his civil liberties.

I can't have any distractions.

- O- Okay.

- So let's just do this and get it over with.

- So we won't be distracted? Outstanding.

[Birdsong and typing]

I was a real shit to Jason.

He was only trying to help.

- He could've helped her without dragging you guys into it.

He needed backup.

These guys are killers. What was he supposed to do?

- Keep his personal and professional lives separate?

- The least I can do is save her from these old bastards.

- Ensure Jason didn't die in vain?

You're not turning into Dudley Do-Right, are you?

'Cause I like a guy with edge.

- Oh yeah? [Liz laughing]

How 'bout I tie you to the railroad tracks?

[Kissing]

[Siren in the background]

Who's Maia?

- Maia? - She came by last night.

Said you had tickets to the Cinematheque. - She didn't get my message?

- I thought you hated art films.

Maia chose the movie.

- Dad! - What?

- She's my age! - Yeah.

Ah no, come on. Don't be ridiculous, Zoe.

She's beautiful.

She was a refugee.

- So this was work? - No, I've known her since she was a kid.

- You've been hanging out with this girl for years - and I've never even heard of her?

How is that even possible?

[Traffic outside]

[Both moaning]

- [Cell phone ringing] - No.

Carver.

Great. On my way.

What've we got?

- Clarence's sons - Dan and Rodney.

Surveillance got them leaving Four Oaks.

We have a car on them - heading north.

- I didn't tell you about Maia because I met her in Bosnia.

- If you talked about Bosnia, the world would cease to exist? - I didn't wanna bring it home.

- It's not that you never talk about Maia, Dad.

It's that you obviously talk to her.

I just wonder what that would be like.

- Come have dinner tonight. I'll invite Maia.

I'll try.

- Maggie: [Okay, I got a long list of license plates]

[with 'E' and '4' cross-matched]

- with blue V6 minivans. - B.C. or Idaho? - [Both.]

Did I mention it's [a very long list?]

- So you'd like someone brilliant, unheralded

and occasionally inappropriate to help you narrow it down?

- Did you clean up the video file yet? - [Still recovering data.]

I got a license plate holder. Maybe from a dealership?

- Ooh, if you get me a logo, you got two dozen chocolate chunk cookies on your desk on Monday.

- Semi-sweet? - Bitter, semi and milk.

The Holy Trinity.

Okay, I'll get back to you.

[Sighing]

Carver.

What? How could they lose them? Get the bird on this.

Let me know as soon as we have eyes. My agents lost them.

- Guess the Barden boys spotted the tail, huh?

- That happens. - Not to me.

- I forgot. You guys never make mistakes, right?

No, I mean, not to "me."

[Speed-dialing beeps]

- Maggie? I need a bulletin alert on Dan and Rodney Barden.

They'll probably use fake IDs. We gotta detain them without tipping them off.

Just long enough for us to pick up the tail.

Thanks.

Any time.

- Check this out. I got the logo.

[Not very imaginative. I thought they'd have a sasquatch or something.]

- I've seen that in town. Thanks. I'll talk to the dealership.

- Start baking, Betty Crocker, and don't forget my cold glass of milk.

- The Death of Mr. Lazarescu was amazing.

- I'm sorry I couldn't make it. Work--

I know. Don't worry.

I probably shouldn't have gone either.

- But I had to take a break. - You still studying 25 hours a day?

- What med student isn't? - I hope you're not forgetting to eat.

- With the sarma that Tetkamakes?

Not a chance.

- Zoe's not coming? - We should start. It's getting cold.

[Cell phone ringing]

Carver.

- We're on our way. - Did we find 'em?

- Chopper spotted Dan and Rodney's truck just south of Porthill.

[Siren sounding]

[Background police chatter]

[Dramatic music]

[Background radio conversation]

- Looks like they were burnt first, and then hung.

- I think we can safely call that overkill.

- Sends a pretty clear message.

- So, Rachel's promised to Dermott.

Orlen wants her.

Clarence refuses, but nobody says no to Orlen Taylor.

- Orlen finds out Jason helped her escape.

He tracks them down, kills the kid and then takes his bride.

- Then Clarence sends his boys to get her back.

- Orlen turns them into barbecued tree ornaments.

- So, we're back to square one: find Orlen, find Rachel.

- Hey. I got an address for a blue minivan.

It's registered to the Church [of the Universal Covenant - one of Orlen's boys.]

- Alright, give me the address. Liz and I will meet you there. - Liz?

Agent Carver.

- 5-6-3-9 Devon Creek Road. I'll call for backup.

Right.

Oh, boss! Hey, boss! Boss!

Look- look at this.

Okay, you- you see the colors and the pixel patterns on Rachel's skin?

- Okay. - 'Kay.

- [Electronic noises] - That's Rachel! At the crime scene.

- That- that's her! - Okay.

- Look. Look at her hand! You see that?

- Is that a-- - .380. Yeah.

Nothing says, "Keep Sweet" like a tiny perfect pistol.

Call Maggie. Let her know.

- We're not going to make any Sunday school pals if Orlen and Rachel aren't here.

- We've pissed off every thumper my side of the border. Now it's your turn.

Cops!

[Suspense music]

[Creaking]

[Soft rattling]

Get off her.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Step back.

Get out.

You have no right. This is our consummation.

- Rachel, my name is Gray Jackson. I'm here to--

[Gunshot]

I will kill anyone

who tries to break our celestial bond.

Drop your weapon!

10-64. Agent down.

[Catching his breath] Gray...

You got lucky.

Yeah, I remember.

[Laughing with effort]

[Background radio conversation]

- Jason's damsel in distress turned out to be the dragon.

- [On TV]: With the apprehension of Orlen Taylor,

we're sending a clear message that religious rights

do not trump the criminal code.

- Clarence Barden, a high-ranking member

of the Church of the Universal Covenant, was quick

to distance himself from the accused.

- Orlen Taylor is not God's prophet.

He kidnapped my daughter.

But with her strong faith,

and the support of her loving family,

I pray she will be able to get through this traumatic ordeal.

Thank you.

Orlen Taylor had

a revelation from God.

I was meant to be at his side.

But Jason Whitmore tried to take me from my husband.

God helped me stay on the true path.

Big case.

- Yeah, press are all over it.

- Bosses want me in Washington to debrief.

- Well, it was nice working with ya,

Agent Carver.

I better go.

You sure?

You could leave in the morning.

- Take care of yourself, Canada.
