And congratulations go to, Daisy Ryder, for her contest winning slogan...

Mother: The mine's closed.

We're in transition.

The new brewery will be a vital part of the new Bellevue.

Jonny: If the brewery does set up here, is it true that the miners get all the jobs, and no one has a fair sh*t?

Everyone will get a fair sh*t.

Bellevue's just that kind of town.

Jonny: Sounds good.

After some weather, we'll be right back.

Yeah. I figured you wanted to ream me out about not mowing my lawn.

Okay, let's spread out and see what else we find.

Police started talking to everyone and the town stopped trusting each other.

Five minutes in confession, I'm as good as new.

All right. Listen up.

Scene was found by Ricky Jordan who runs a scrap yard when he's not face down in his own vomit.

Ah, we found a jean jacket, a cell and a bike.

All confirmed by Maggie Sweetland to belong to her 16-year-old son, Jesse.

Now, if you don't know who he is, you're living under a rock.

He's our most ridiculously talented hockey player.

And he's into the make-up and the...

Yes. Rumor has it he's... contemplating his gender identity.

Openly?

I wouldn't say openly, Virginia.

But a kid came to his house selling chocolate bars and walked in on him in his mom's dress.

And then people found out about it.

We also found a tooth.

Ah sh*t. They got a game Friday.

What? The kid probably took off.

He's into weird sh*t.

He probably went looking for other people that were into it too.

Ineloquently put, but yeah.

Okay, you all have your searching orders. Let's go.

What about the p*rn?

We found ripped magazine pieces. Blood on one.

Yeah, well, we don't know those are connected.

There's garbage everywhere, right?

The other garbage was old. This looked new.

We'll do blood tests. But there's no point in speculating until we know for sure.

Take the tooth to your cousin.

Yeah.

Dr. Allan, the dentist.

I know you guys like to keep things in the family but...

Hockey.

Jesse had his teeth smashed out last year in this crazy game against Oaktown.

If this is a crown, my cuz can ID it, if it's his work.

Five minutes to the dentist office versus four hours to the lab.

Nice. Let's do it.

Remember, keep it in perspective, right.

Hockey players fight. Teenagers run away.

They don't disappear.

Why go to the scrap yard in the middle of the night?

It's not a hangout.

Brady knows a lot of kids being as he's on the same intellectual level as them, so we'll see what he can get.

Jesse's mom's still a mess.

Keep at her.

So how was your chat with the mayor?

She just wants to keep her friends close and those she can't brainwash closer.

Well, she's good for the town, but you make sure you stay on the right side of her.

Nice Intel on Rainmaker Jed, by the way. It looks good.

Can you get him on anything?

Not yet.

How is it with Virginia?

She has people skills of a cardboard box.

Well, not everyone has your sparkling personality.

But then you won't have any grandkids unless I immaculately conceive them.

That's not actually what it means.

People think immaculate conception is Mary getting pregnant without having sex.

See, I'm feeling like you do and I'm racking my brain.

Phones?

No, they're clean.

Nothing from the numbers.

If he's religious, if that's what the cross is for... could be motive for whatever happened.

Religious freaks might not like sharing their God with a trans kid.

Is that what Father J. told you?

He couldn't even decide if he knew him or not.

He was jumpy.

He was wanting to put distance between Jesse and the church.

(Knock at the door)

Yeah.

Thanks.

All right, so what does p*rn and religion have to do with each other?

Because the blood is Jesse's.

Maybe the cross isn't religion.

Is it an X?

Cross dressing?

What if it's not p*rn?

What if it's female body parts?
