Peter: I just pulled a
dead body out of this water

and you're talking to me
about a year old m*rder?

Annie: What if they're connected?

I'm pretty sure he watches me.

(Wood splinters)

The shack is burnt, Annie.

Annie: You went there?!
I said don't go there!

Why did you go there?!

Brady: Half a pound of MDMA
found in Jesse's closet.

- Annie: Is this about the Rez teens?
- Nope.

Brady: It's rainmakers Jed's trademark.

(Kicking thud)

Annie: You're taking a
chance telling me things.

All you want is trust.

And instinctually I do trust you.

Voice: Don't trust the guy
with the fire in his eyes.

(Bangs on door)

Is anyone home? It's the police.

We have a warrant to
search the premises.

We're coming in.

We're looking for anything
to connect Jesse to Jed,

or his drug business.

Turn the place upside down.

Is he serious?

Jed's so white. How is he
allowed to stay here?

I thought housing was crazy scarce.

He's married to a girl from here

but she's barely around.

I'm glad we get to check out his sh*t,

but do we seriously think he had
something to do with Jesse's m*rder?

- Why not?
- It looks personal,

not like retaliation for stolen dr*gs.

Yeah. Drug murders are personal.

They're about respect,
betrayal of trust.

There's three toothbrushes in here.

His wife hasn't been
on the Rez for months.

Annie: Um, guys,

(Footsteps thud)

I don't sell dr*gs.

Then what are you doing here?

I watch over things sometimes.

Annie: You're not in trouble
but you need to tell us

about your relationship with Jed.

There wasn't one, okay?

He doesn't even know I was here today.

We found you in your underwear.

Did Jesse know Jed?

No.

We can help... if you're in a situation

that you don't wanna be in.

Brady: Um... ladies?

Fake eyelashes.

Who owns them?

(Wind gusts)

Jed's wife.

Jed's wife wear a size boot?

Yeah.

You think Jed has a sexual
proclivity for young boys?

I'm wondering. And Danny is
protecting him out of fear.

There's your personal connection.

If you ask me, he's more
scared of us than Jed.

Maybe he has Stockholm syndrome.

Oh right. I forgot.
Speculation is your territory.

- And poking holes in it is yours.
- Ladies.

Go find out if Mr. Martin has an alibi.

(Slurps)

f*ck sake!

Boss.

You look like sh*t, boss.

Late night? Huh?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

♪ I love you more when
you treat me wrong ♪

♪ ♪

Ladies, won't you step into my office.

I hear you went to my house.

Curious, were you?

Or maybe we got a tip
about a big shipment

of little blue pills
with turtles on them.

I have a hard time believing

you're taking time and
manpower to look for dr*gs

when a boy's body is still
in the morgue.

Why would you assume we're
here to talk to you about Jesse?

(Glasses thud)

I'm low hanging fruit.

You're under pressure.

People want a suspect

and I have all those
drug rumors... false...

following me around.

Where were you the night Jesse d*ed?

I was at home.

Alone?

Yeah.

Were you also alone?

Maybe we were staring out into
the same sky at the same time...

You're not fooling anyone.
Hiding out on the Rez,

getting vulnerable
people hooked on pills.

You're pathetic. A pathetic wannabe.

Are you saying you like me back?

Annie: What's your relationship
with Danny Debassage?

(Sighs)

Am I under arrest for anything?

Hey! I've been calling. Did
you lose your phone again?

I just came to pick up my truck.

I... ah... had a few
too many last night.

How'd you get here?

Wow.

You remember Briana.

I work with her brother.

(Sighs)

f*ck him.

Girl power.

(Car whooshes)

You're gonna wanna see
what's on Jed's property.

Boy's just dug it up.

It's marked off with this feather.

Jesus.

♪ ♪

Hey.

I got a look into Jed's life.
He grew up in foster care.

He was taken out of a home
where he was sexually abused.

From then on, he was
in fights, few arrests.

Finally juvie, where he
put a counselor's face

through a window pane.

That doesn't mean he became an abuser.

Doesn't mean he didn't.

It doesn't mean I can't
use it to break him.

Why do you have it in for this guy?

I think he k*lled a kid.

Why was Danny at your house?

He stayed over sometimes.

We came across boots, fake eyelashes,

we believe all belonging to Jesse.

He hung out when Danny was around.

Young love. It's a beautiful thing.

And an earring.

Jesse's earring.

It was buried.

Was it?

(Sighs)

Right. Well.

Sometimes people do things

that don't make sense across the board.

Doesn't mean they had anything
to do with a kid's death.

We found a large quantity
of MDMA in Jesse's closet.

We know it's your product.

I'm thinking if Jesse stole from you,

it would've made you angry.

I don't know anything about any dr*gs.

Obviously you don't have
anything that says I do

or I'd be charged.

Did you have sex with Jesse?

Jesse and Danny?

They were planning on
running away together.

Is that why you k*lled Jesse?

Because you felt like you owned him?

Or maybe...

it's because he was
going to tell someone

about the sexual abuse.

(Emotional breaths)

The earring looks like
the kind of trophy...

that someone who kills someone keeps.

We know Jesse was wearing
them the night he was k*lled.

I think I'd like a lawyer.

Yeah.

No problem.

We don't have to connect you
to Jesse for you to go to jail.

Danny's .

You've got some dark f*cking demons

if you can't imagine
a man can help a kid

and not expect a blow job.

I can imagine a
different man besides you.

f*ck you!

You don't know me.

You don't know what my
life was like growing up.

A kid needs a place to sleep,

I'm gonna help him.

(Receding steps)

(Door opens and shuts)

I'm not sure it's Jed.

But the earring...

Jesse wearing them
the night that he d*ed

doesn't mean he was
wearing them when he d*ed.

We know he lost one at the scrap yard.

He could have gone
looking for Danny at Jed's

- and lost the other one there.
- It was buried, Annie.

Where's the white truck?

What are you? His lawyer?

I just don't want us
to have tunnel vision.

Danny being at Jed's,
the boots, the earring,

- it's all circumstantial.
- Is she serious?

She has tunnel vision
all the time and she...

- I'm just trying to point out!
- All right. All right.

It's time to trust someone
else's instincts for once.

I like Jed for this.

I'm pretty sure your
sister f*cked my kid's dad.

What? Ryder!

You just might want to warn her...

he's not gonna call again.

(Light knock)

In your searching for the riddle guy,

did you find out anything?

I would have told you
if I found out anything.

I thought you said not to sniff around.

You said he'd be dangerous if he knew

you were going after him. Didn't you?

Just feeling the pressure.

Yeah. Aren't we all.

When's the last you heard from him?

Not since last night.

So no idea who lit your
garage on fire last night?

You said, kids. But... seems weird.

More pointed, like
retaliation or something.

No. Just kids.

You know I only want to nail Jed

if he's the guy, right?

Absolutely. Of course.

Look, I don't know anything about him!

didn't know anything.

Is she coming around...

looking for the guy?

You're a bottom feeder.

courage to be a real badass.

You know what that makes you? Mine.

- Aw, please, man. Come on.

you, you're gonna call me.

Or if you hear a voice

that sounds that maybe
possibly, that's the guy...

you're going to call
me. Do you understand?

You're going to f*cking call me!

Otherwise I'm gonna ring you up

Reuben's mom is driving us to band.

Hey! You're messing up my hair.

Do you like a boy in band?

Are you having feelings that
you don't know how to explain?

Just because I don't want messy hair

doesn't mean I'm hitting puberty.

I gotta go.

You always have to go.

You too.

Oh ah...

Virginia: We're running out of time.

We cut Jed loose, he'll disappear.

Let's go through all
of his known associates.

There's gotta be someone we can work.

He doesn't have a weak
link. And he knows it.

He's all balls, that guy.

You shoulda heard him on the
phone saying sh*t about...

k*lling the chickens.

- What? Like a code?
- Yeah.

He's giving orders from the station.

- That's what I'm saying.
- Why didn't you say anything?

What do you want me to do? Ask Jed's guy

what he's referring
to? They don't say sh*t.

I put a cop on the guy's house.
Guy didn't come out all day.

Good morning, everyone.

Welcome to group therapy.

Clarence, let's start with you.

Just me and her. Her mom asleep.

There's someone who loves you.

Who thinks he loves you.

I want to protect him 'cause

Anthony, we know you work for Jed.

We know that he called you from here.

And we know he spoke in
code. We got it on tape.

We know you're gonna lie for your boss.

Which is admirable, gives you cred,

maybe a promotion when he gets out.

Except he's not getting out.
He's going away for m*rder.

Question is, are you
going down with him.

What did the code mean?

It meant there's some
tight-ass woman cop

Show some respect, assh*le.

(Small chuckle)

How's your sis?

Teaching school in Sudbury
with her juvie record sealed.

I used to work there.

Every time we saw each other,

she looked so scared I would out her.

How would it go over if it got out

that she was involved in a home invasion

gone so violently wrong.

That wasn't her.

I was the one who...

What was Jed telling you to do?

It's schizo-affective disorder.

Delusions, paranoia, psychosis and...

lucid times, when he's really smart.

Would he be capable of intense,

detail oriented, calculated thought?

Annie, just cause our kids are friends

doesn't mean I can discuss specifics.

Okay. Talk generally.

Someone like Driver,

would he, say,

be able to create a piece
of art with a message

and then have the presence of mind

not to leave any trace
of himself behind?

I guess it's possible. Yes.

What about lighting fires?

How do you know Neil?

My dad worked the Sandy case.

Right. That's why he
feels connected to you.

When he's in the hospital,
can he leave whenever he wants?

He's not in a locked ward, so yeah.

from the construction site,

was he in the hospital the night before?

The night Jesse Sweetland was k*lled?

Peter: Hey.

Remember the white truck
you said Jed didn't own?

Yeah.

What motive? And what?

He was gonna sell dr*gs
