Short filmTranscript
00:01Previously on Sheriff Country.
00:03I tried to do this and I can't do it.
00:05I can't be a cop's wife anymore.
00:06I'm supposed to...
00:06All right, bye.
00:08I'm defending Enoch Barlow.
00:09It's either me or the case.
00:11Is it all tomato?
00:13I murdered someone and they want to throw me a party?
00:15You didn't murder anybody.
00:17And if that's true, then why can't I sleep?
00:19Whatever is going on with you,
00:21I don't think you're ready to be back in the field.
00:23You're on desk duty, answering calls, pulling files.
00:25Hello?
00:26I knew your sister Zoe.
00:27I was with her the night she disappeared.
00:30I think we should talk.
00:53Please, please, don't do this.
00:55Dad?
00:56Mom, what's going on?
00:57Is your mother called my mother?
00:59What about Mom?
01:00I heard her screaming.
01:00Is she okay?
01:01What the fuck are you doing?
01:01I'm coming!
01:12Tariff's office.
01:12Uh-huh.
01:14These tissues are for you
01:15for when the Raiders destroy the 49ers.
01:18Oh.
01:19Did you bring your Xbox?
01:20Because that's the only way that's going to happen.
01:22Ooh.
01:23Hey, get a bowl for the chips.
01:27Aw.
01:28Gift for me?
01:29You shouldn't have.
01:30No.
01:30It's for my friend.
01:32For her birthday.
01:34Oh, the dinner thing.
01:35Right.
01:36At, uh, fancy place in Sonoma, right?
01:38Mm-hmm.
01:38I'm not going.
01:40I thought you were looking forward to that.
01:41It's a couple's thing.
01:43I RSVP'd during the five minutes that Travis and I were together.
01:46That's all.
01:46Since when is Mickey Fox afraid of flying solo?
01:49I'm not afraid of flying solo.
01:51I've been flying solo since I was divorced.
01:54Huh.
01:54Dad, the game's on.
01:55You going out?
01:56Wait, do you have a date?
01:58I have plans.
02:06Gotta hand it to him.
02:07The old man's got game.
02:08Unlike the Raiders.
02:10Just a four-man rush.
02:12Looking.
02:12Looking.
02:13Buying time.
02:14Throws it.
02:15Ladies.
02:15Go, go, go, go, go.
02:16Oh.
02:17Oh.
02:18No.
02:18Oh.
02:19Into the end zone for the touchdown.
02:21Oh.
02:22I can't listen to this.
02:23Oh.
02:25Touchdown.
02:26Raiders.
02:28Did you see that?
02:29Oh, my God.
02:31That was incredible.
02:33I think this dude is on Nora's fantasy team,
02:36and she's probably watching right now.
02:38What?
02:40What?
02:40She's a huge Raiders fan.
02:42Mm-hmm.
02:44You're not over her.
02:48It's okay.
02:49I get it.
02:49It's only been a couple weeks.
02:51Not that you see me texting Travis.
02:55And here we go.
02:56Look, some people are just needier than others, buddy.
02:58It's all right.
02:58Mm-hmm.
02:59Dispatch Adam 1.
03:01Respond.
03:03Box?
03:032-11 in progress.
03:052-7-8 Sycamore Lane.
03:06Home invasion robbery.
03:07That's half a mile from here.
04:04Sheriff's Office, come out with your hands up.
04:07Oh, my God. Oh, thank God you guys are here.
04:10Are you the one who called 911? Anyone else in the house?
04:12My parents. Are they okay?
04:15Your dad's badly injured. The ambulance is on the way.
04:17What about my mom? I heard her screaming.
04:21What's your name?
04:22Paul. Paul Carson.
04:23I'm Sheriff Mickey Fox. Can you tell me what happened?
04:25We all had dinner together, the three of us, and my parents started watching a movie,
04:28so I came up here and then I started studying for my Ken final, but then I heard my mom
04:33scream.
04:34I ran to the stairs and I saw my dad. He was fighting with them.
04:38Them? How many were there?
04:40I'm not sure. I didn't see them, but then my dad told me to stay in my room,
04:43but maybe I should have helped him. Maybe I should have...
04:48It's okay, Paul. You did the right thing.
04:52There's nobody else here.
04:54Oh, my God.
04:55They took her.
04:57They took my mom.
05:01We'll get an inventory of stolen items, but right off the bat, Paul says his dad's car is missing.
05:05So maybe they took the mom, uh, Carrie, in his vehicle?
05:10I'll put out a bolo and ask the neighbors to check their rain cams.
05:12Maybe we get a glimpse of her abductors.
05:14This could be the same crew as that home invasion in Sierra Verde last week.
05:17Oh, maybe.
05:19Kidnapping would be one hell of an escalation, though.
05:22Poor kid.
05:23I woke up this morning with two parents in a beautiful home.
05:26At the end of the day, standing in the middle of a crime scene.
05:37I was going to say, I was surprised when you called.
05:39I was pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless.
05:43How's that?
05:44I wasn't sure you were just picking up on all the little hints I was dropping.
05:48I know it's been a minute, but here's the way I see it.
05:52All that uncomfortable getting to know each other crap, we don't got to worry about it.
05:56We know each other.
05:57We got a history.
05:58So, we just, we relax, and we enjoy each other's company.
06:03But next time, I choose the joint, because I mean, I love the meetup, but not for a second date.
06:09You think this is a date?
06:11What?
06:11I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is not a date.
06:17What is it?
06:20I have breast cancer.
06:22You know what?
06:23They caught it early, and they say that I'm going to be fine, but I start chemo tomorrow.
06:27And I need a ride.
06:29It's round trip to Eureka every three weeks.
06:33Now, if you can't do it, you don't want to...
06:35No, no, no.
06:35I mean, yes, yes.
06:37I can, I will.
06:39Yeah.
06:39But here's the thing.
06:40What?
06:40I don't want anyone, not even Mickey, to know.
06:43I don't want any fussing or emotional hoo-ha.
06:47That's why I asked you, an unsentimental old prick.
06:52You got me there.
06:56You're going to be all right, though, right?
06:58Yeah.
06:59As soon as we start talking about something else, I am going to be fine.
07:03When I saw you on TV, I thought for a second you were Zoe.
07:07You look like your sister.
07:08I used to get that a lot.
07:12But it's been 14 years since she disappeared, so not so much anymore.
07:18So, you mentioned on the phone that you think you're one of the last people to see Zoe.
07:22I know the night that she vanished, she went to a party.
07:24Is that where you saw her?
07:25We were at a party.
07:28Then Zoe asked me to give her a ride to the Blood Moon Festival.
07:33The Blood Moon Festival?
07:34That wasn't in her missing persons file.
07:37I know.
07:39It's my fault.
07:41I was still using at the time, and I had an outstanding warrant for my arrest.
07:45I didn't come forward to the police because I didn't want to go to jail.
07:47I'm sorry.
07:49Okay.
07:51You took her to the festival.
07:54Then what happened?
07:56We hung out until they set the effigy on fire.
08:00Then she blew me off.
08:02That was the last time I saw her.
08:03I saw you on TV the other night, and I thought to myself, she deserves to know.
08:08Call her.
08:12I'm glad you did.
08:15All right, Kerry Carson has been missing for 10 hours.
08:17Where are we at?
08:17So, what if it wasn't a home invasion?
08:20You got it, Thierry?
08:21Aside from the car, it turns out that the only thing stolen from the Carson's house was
08:25Kerry Carson.
08:26So, you think it's a straight-up kidnapping?
08:28The husband, Charles, is a real estate developer.
08:30You know this new mall out on Crandall?
08:31He built that.
08:32Oh, so the family's got money.
08:33But there's been no ransom demand.
08:36Yet.
08:37Dry cleaner dropped off your dress just in time for your party.
08:41You own a dress?
08:42Thanks, but I'm not going.
08:44Why not?
08:45You were really looking forward to that.
08:47Okay, Chino, we're a little busy right now.
08:49Oh, fine.
08:51Stay at home.
08:51Buy your lonesome.
08:53Every night.
08:53It's none of my business.
08:57But, if you want me to make you a Blue Love profile, I'll help Boone set up his...
09:02A what?
09:04Blue Love.
09:05A dating app for cops.
09:07Oh.
09:10I didn't come up with the name of it, okay?
09:12I can set up a profile for you, too.
09:14No, thanks.
09:16Fine.
09:16Just a reminder, I have a dentist appointment.
09:18I will not be back after lunch.
09:21Thank you, Gina.
09:22Sorry.
09:24We let Gina set up a Blue Love dating profile for you, huh?
09:28You know the woman's been married four times.
09:30I figured she was an expert.
09:32Hmm.
09:34Did you accept any dates yet?
09:36No, I'm good so far.
09:40Charles Carson just regained consciousness.
09:42Let's go find out why somebody would want to kidnap his wife.
09:48Mr. Carson, I'm glad to see you're doing better.
09:50How's Carrie?
09:51Is she okay?
09:52We don't know.
09:54We're still trying to find her.
09:55Oh, God.
09:57And Paul?
09:57He's good.
09:58He's worried about his mom, but good, all things considered.
10:01Thank God.
10:02This is just so awful.
10:05Please, when you find my wife, Carrie, can you go easy on her?
10:11I know she didn't mean to do it.
10:14Didn't mean to do what?
10:16Attack me.
10:19Carrie, is that why you're here?
10:36Why would your wife attack you?
10:38I have no idea.
10:41We were watching a movie.
10:43Carrie said that she wasn't feeling well.
10:46She seemed, I don't know, agitated.
10:48So I went to go get her a glass of water, and as soon as I came back, she screamed
10:52like she didn't know me.
10:54And then she just went off.
10:55She started hitting me and throwing stuff at me, and the fire grate, that thing weighs as much as she
11:02does.
11:03Have you two been having marital problems?
11:06No.
11:07It wasn't an argument.
11:10It was as if my wife was a different person, like she was possessed.
11:18Mr. Carson, certain drugs like methamphetamine can cause unprovoked aggression.
11:24I mean, we see people do all kinds of really...
11:27No, no, no way.
11:29Not Carrie.
11:30A glass of wine, a puff of weed before she goes to sleep, sure, but...
11:34Hard drugs?
11:37No, that's not her.
11:39Has she ever been treated for mental illness?
11:41No.
11:42She's usually just...
11:45Calm and sweet.
11:49So you're telling me that no one has seen her?
11:51Our working theory was that her abductors took off with her in the car, but now it sounds like she
11:55drove off herself.
11:57Oh, God.
11:59Was it the station wagon?
12:01I keep a gun in the glove compartment.
12:04It's like she had a psychotic break or something.
12:07Yeah, I like her theory.
12:09Mask, coke, some kind of stimulant.
12:10Yeah, but he said she doesn't do drugs.
12:11Oh, that he knows of.
12:13Spouses keep things from each other all the time.
12:15You think you know somebody until you realize you don't.
12:19Anyway, Carrie is violent and armed.
12:22We have to find her before she hurts herself or somebody else.
12:37You're still riding the pine, Campbell?
12:40Benched.
12:42This sucks for you.
12:43Mickey's got me on this abduction case.
12:45Thing's a beast.
12:48Well, I'm working the tip line, so do you mind?
12:50That's your sister's file.
12:53You looking into her disappearance?
12:54I'm supposed to be on death's duty, so keep it down.
12:58Got any leads?
13:03I met with a witness last night.
13:04He was with Zoe the night that she vanished.
13:07He drove her to the Blood Moon Festival.
13:09Creepy.
13:10Actually, you seem nice.
13:11No, I mean that festival.
13:12We used to go when I was a kid.
13:14Corn Mace scarred me for life.
13:16I'm going to the festival's old social media posts, hoping I can find a photo of Zoe.
13:20Maybe he'll give me a clue.
13:21What about the guy who gave her the ride?
13:23You looking to him?
13:23He's got some juvenile priors.
13:25Nothing in the last ten years.
13:27He said he turned his life around.
13:29I believe him.
13:29Well, if you need an extra pair of eyes.
13:33I thought you were working the abduction case.
13:35I am.
13:38All right, fine.
13:39Mickey's got me working the tip line, too.
13:44Look, I appreciate your offer.
13:46I do, but she's my sister.
13:50I've got to do this on my own.
13:52All right.
13:54But if you do change your mind, you know where to find me.
14:09Do you mind country?
14:10Yes, ma'am.
14:14No, he said country's fine.
14:16All that auto-tune crap is not country.
14:18No, them prissy pretty boys wouldn't know country music if it come up and bit them in the behind.
14:22Like Doc Watson's two-finger picking style, nobody could play like that anymore.
14:26I mean, even if they knew what it was, they couldn't do it.
14:27Because he adapted it from Earl Scruggs' three-finger banjo roll, and Earl took it from Snuffy Jenkins.
14:32It's okay, Wes.
14:34We don't need the radio.
14:35In fact, we don't even need to talk.
14:43Oh, no.
14:44What?
14:45Mickey wants to know if I can come back after my dentist appointment.
14:48I should have come up with a better excuse.
14:51How about cancer?
14:51That's a pretty good one.
14:53Look, you don't need the work worry.
14:56You need to focus on your health.
14:58I don't know why you're keeping this for Mickey, because for a woman, she's pretty unemotional.
15:03That's a laugh.
15:04Remember when you had your heart thing?
15:06Yeah.
15:06She kept together when you were around, but let me tell you, she was a mess.
15:12I'll park when we get there and come up.
15:14Oh, no, not necessary.
15:15Just drop me off.
15:16Well, that's silly.
15:17I'll drop you off, go back to town, only to turn around and come back.
15:20Wes, I just asked for a ride.
15:22If you can't handle that, I'll just Uber back.
15:30Cassidy, what's up?
15:30We just got a call about a woman playing bumper cars at the meet-up parking lot.
15:35Deputies are en route.
15:36Fine, let them handle.
15:37Moon and I are on the Carson case.
15:38That's just it, Mickey.
15:40The plates match the Carson's car.
15:53Get back, get back, get back.
15:55Hey!
15:57My car!
15:58Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:00Hey!
16:05Carrie?
16:06Miss Carson, are you okay?
16:08Carrie?
16:10You okay?
16:11Carrie?
16:12She's unresponsive.
16:13Carrie!
16:14You tried the doors?
16:16Yeah.
16:16Carrie, are you okay?
16:18No sign of the gun.
16:19Mr. Carson said it's in the glove box.
16:21Carrie!
16:21No, no.
16:22No!
16:23Stay away from me!
16:24It's okay.
16:24Go out for the gun.
16:25Clear!
16:26Clear!
16:28I got her.
16:29Carrie!
16:30Carrie, it's okay.
16:31Hey, hey!
16:32It's okay.
16:33You're okay.
16:34I'm here to help you.
16:35You're okay.
16:38Come with me.
16:40It's okay.
16:46Can you help her?
16:47Careful.
16:47Careful.
16:50Mickey!
16:51Boone!
16:51We've got a situation in here.
16:57What the hell did you put in the pancakes?
16:59Flour butter?
17:00It's the same recipe we always use.
17:01Hey, my dear.
17:02What?
17:02Joe, Joe, what's going on?
17:04They're trying to poison me.
17:05Poison you?
17:05You're your damn mind.
17:06Joe!
17:09Hey!
17:16Joe, stop!
17:17You okay?
17:18Yeah.
17:27What God!
17:36Oh, my God!
17:39Get back.
17:40Come on.
17:44Come on.
17:44You okay?
17:45We're going to go.
17:46Go!
17:46Go!
17:46Go!
17:59You're going to be kidding me.
18:03Joe, this is your warning.
18:05Stay back.
18:06I will shoot you.
18:09Joe!
18:14Come on, go!
18:17Stop walking!
18:21Stop walking!
18:23Stop walking!
18:27First Gary Carson, and then him.
18:30What is going on in this town?
18:39You okay, Amber?
18:41Joe was just sitting there, his normal self, and then he lost it.
18:57Chemical.
18:58Are you sure?
18:59Wait, it's the smell of my childhood.
19:01Charles Carson said that Carrie would smoke a little weed to help her sleep.
19:06No.
19:08That can't be true. I'd never hurt Charles.
19:11You put him in the hospital, Carrie, he will be okay, but he'll be in there for a few more
19:15days.
19:16How is that even possible?
19:18We're waiting for the tox screen on some drugs that were seized in a similar incident.
19:21We suspect it has to do with the marijuana you smoked.
19:24You did smoke marijuana that night, right?
19:28I'm not sure I can't remember.
19:59But even if I did, it's just weed.
20:01I know that you didn't mean to do this, that you're the victim here.
20:04But if there is a batch of this stuff circulating, it's very dangerous for Edgewater.
20:07The weed that you smoked.
20:08We need you to tell us where you got it.
20:10Uh, I usually go to the dispensary, but...
20:18I don't know.
20:24Mom?
20:25Paul.
20:36I don't even smoke pot.
20:38Paul's a great kid.
20:40Straight A's, started his own lawn care business to pay for college.
20:44It's my fault.
20:45I'm the one who found the joint in his laundry.
20:47He's so stupid of me to take it.
20:50Where'd you get the joint, Paul?
20:52At a party.
20:53It was getting passed around.
20:54You saw how this stuff affected your mom.
20:56We need you to tell us the truth.
20:58That is the truth.
20:59It was getting passed around and I didn't want to smoke it, so I put it in my pocket and
21:02I forgot about it.
21:03Believe me, if I knew my mom would find it, I wouldn't have taken it.
21:09All right, Paul.
21:11If you remember any more details about where it came from or who at that party gave it to you,
21:15call us.
21:16You've seen what this can do.
21:17We don't want anybody else to get hurt, do we?
21:20They passed a joint around at a party.
21:23If that's the case, how come we didn't get any more calls about teenagers turning into rampaging hulks?
21:29People react differently to this stuff.
21:31It doesn't make everyone crazy.
21:33The joints do get passed around at parties.
21:35And I raised a kid who was abusing drugs and looked me right in the eye and told me she
21:39wasn't.
21:40Teenagers lie.
21:41They just do.
21:44That must be so hard.
21:46Going through life not trusting people.
21:48I trust people.
21:49I do.
21:50Okay.
21:53Do not text and drive, please.
21:56From Beth.
21:58Can't wait to see you tonight.
21:59Three exclamation points, one heart emoji, one flamingo dancer.
22:02I thought you weren't going to the birthday dinner.
22:04I'm not.
22:05I just haven't let my friends know.
22:08Because you still want to go.
22:10Because I haven't had time to call my friends.
22:11Uh-huh.
22:13Fine.
22:13I still want to go.
22:14So why don't you?
22:16So maybe you go.
22:17Maybe you feel a little awkward.
22:18Big deal.
22:18Post-break of this is where we're at.
22:20We just, we got to fly solo.
22:24You talk a big game about flying solo.
22:26But anytime there's a touchdown or a special moment in your life, you reach for your phone
22:29to call or text Nora.
22:31You haven't let her go yet.
22:32That's why you haven't accepted any dates from weird cop-obsessed women.
22:38Admit it.
22:39Can we just go back to talking about the case?
22:42Yes, please.
23:04What are you doing?
23:06I told you to wait.
23:07Wait in the trunk.
23:08Yeah, I know.
23:10But you also know that I have an adverse reaction to being told what to do.
23:14It's not by the newsstand, because I'm not sure about you, but I am very curious as to
23:22how Harry and Meghan are settling into life in Santa Barbara.
23:26Wesley Taylor Fox.
23:27Yep, that's my name.
23:28Don't wear it out.
23:29I was WTF before WTF was cool.
23:37Oh, my God.
23:40They're just like us.
23:48Oh, my God.
23:53It's Zoe.
23:56Wait, no.
23:57There's another girl.
23:59Molly, we haven't seen you since Blood Moon.
24:02Call and let us know you're okay, Emma.
24:04This girl also went missing from the festival.
24:07Two years after Zoe disappeared.
24:09What are the odds?
24:10In Hedgewater?
24:12Two in the trim grints, seasonal workers, and runaways.
24:14Pretty decent.
24:17I don't know, Hank.
24:19I mean, look at them.
24:21They could be twins.
24:28I bought the stuff online through a site called The Apothecary.
24:33You place an order, you get a DM, and then the next day, a couple of joints show up at
24:37your door.
24:38Look, I tried this stuff before.
24:40It was strong, but it was nothing like this.
24:42This Apothecary, did you ever get a name or meet the person you bought it from?
24:47And like I said, it was all done through DMs.
24:50I feel so stupid for trying something unregulated, but I have horrible back pain from being on
24:55my feet all day.
24:57With all the taxes they charge at the dispensary, it was too expensive.
25:02I am so sorry, Mickey.
25:05The deputy told me you had to tase me.
25:09I guess I'm in big trouble, huh?
25:12Go home, Joe.
25:14Hug your family.
25:15Next time, take aspirin for that back pain.
25:20I'll call if I learn anything.
25:22Thanks so much.
25:28Hank, the other missing girl?
25:30Molly Simpson?
25:31That was her friend, Emma.
25:33The one who posted.
25:36She and Molly grew up in Ohio, moved out together to work on a grow.
25:40Emma hasn't seen or heard from her in years.
25:43Did Molly's family report her missing?
25:45She didn't have much family.
25:46Her dad is in jail.
25:47Her mom has substance issues.
25:49When Molly went missing, Emma called our station, spoke to a deputy, and never heard back.
25:53It was like Molly just fell through the cracks.
25:58I want to pull every file.
26:00Anyone who was reported missing around the Blood Moon Festival for like the last 20 years.
26:05Well, those will be at the off-site archives.
26:07I'll go.
26:08No, I'll do it.
26:09You are on desk duty, remember?
26:11Hank, don't fight me on this.
26:13Zoe was my...
26:14Your sister.
26:14I know.
26:15So why won't you let me help you?
26:17Why are you so dead set on doing this alone?
26:20Because for the last 14 years, I did nothing.
26:24And as soon as I start digging, I get a lead.
26:28I get another missing girl.
26:31The clues were right there, Hank.
26:33Right there.
26:36You were a kid when you said she went missing.
26:40There was nothing you could have done.
26:42But you're doing something now.
26:44And nobody solves a case by themselves.
26:47Let me help you, Cassidy.
26:52Okay.
26:53Okay.
26:54Well, if anybody asks, I'm on my lunch break.
26:57Okay.
27:07You know, I feel well enough to go back to work.
27:09No, no, no, no, no.
27:10You stay right here in the truck.
27:11Oh, like you did?
27:12Do as I say, not as I do.
27:15The only reason I'm not taking you directly home
27:17is that Mickey texted.
27:18She needs to talk to me in some emergency.
27:19What emergency?
27:20Stay.
27:24Stay.
27:24I can't.
27:25I can't.
27:30How much of the apothecary website has been taken down?
27:32They're probably lying low.
27:33I realize that their stuff is making people sick.
27:41What in the leaping hell is going on around here?
27:43We've got a bad batch of synthetic weed on the street.
27:46Huh.
27:47Government must regulate every seed and stem
27:49of the natural stuff I grow,
27:50but you let that poison be sold in convenience stores.
27:53This is not 7-Eleven stuff.
27:54This is way more dangerous.
27:55Dad, you know what's moving through town.
27:57Have you heard of an online store called the Apothecary?
27:59Mm-mm.
28:01Well, with the Apothecary, there was a dealer.
28:03I knew back in the day he went by that name.
28:06Word was he was a legit chemist.
28:07He got fired by Big Pharma.
28:09But I'm pretty sure he's not in the business anymore.
28:13Well, maybe he changed his business model.
28:15Do you remember his name?
28:16Uh, Kifner.
28:17Lewis Kifner.
28:18But he's got to be, like, 80 by now.
28:21I don't sound like a guy who'd be selling synthetic weed on social.
28:24That's the only lead we've got.
28:26Let's check it out.
28:26Thanks, Dad.
28:27Yeah.
28:27Of all the days for Gina to be gone.
28:36Oh, you look worse than when I left.
28:40You always know how to sweet-talk a girl.
28:43I don't know why you don't tell Mickey, Gina.
28:46Wes, I picked you to drive because I didn't think you'd fuss.
28:50And here you are fussing.
28:51Yeah, but if you just give me a reason as to why you're being so...
28:54You want a reason?
28:55Here's a reason.
28:56I'm 60 years old.
28:57I'm not married.
28:58I don't have kids.
28:59I'm not speaking to my sister.
29:01And after my best friend, Carol, up and died on me last year,
29:05I don't have anyone that I'm close enough to go through this with.
29:09So I had to call you, whose sorry ass I dumped years ago.
29:12And now you're annoying the hell out of me with your worries and your fears.
29:16Two things I didn't think you were capable of.
29:21Wow.
29:27I am scared.
29:31I'm scared for you.
29:34I'm scared for myself.
29:35I get this heart trouble.
29:40I'm scared of growing old.
29:43Because I never thought I would.
29:46Aged, there's all sorts of things to worry.
29:50Look, I know that that's nothing compared to what you're going through.
29:53But when you asked me to be there for you to help,
30:00I realized you were counting on me.
30:06I've never been someone that anyone could count on.
30:10I want to be there for you.
30:13If you let me.
30:19I can try.
30:21All right.
30:30Sorry.
30:31No, no, no, no, no.
30:32It's okay.
30:32It's okay.
30:33Hey, hey, hey.
30:34No, it's okay.
30:38Always hated this hat.
30:41What I'm going to get you home is I have just the thing for that nausea.
31:04Every person reported missing around the time of the Blood Moon Festival going back 20 years.
31:10This synthetic lead thing is crazy.
31:13I have to stay on task, but maybe tonight I can start going through them.
31:17I can stick around after my shift.
31:18Split it up.
31:20Okay.
31:22And thanks.
31:35So this was Louis Kifner's last known address.
31:39Sheriff's office.
31:47Huh.
31:52Look at this.
32:07Hey.
32:09How's your Mandarin?
32:10My Cantonese is better.
32:12See, that was a trick question because written Chinese as characters, not an alphabet, so it doesn't matter.
32:24I'm going to say we found our guy.
32:26Hmm.
32:34Get out of my barn!
32:39Wait, wait.
32:50I don't think he can see.
32:51He's half blind.
32:52You go around.
33:05Don't, don't, don't shoot!
33:06Edgewater's sheriff's office.
33:07No one is going to shoot you.
33:09Well, you came out blasting that shotgun.
33:11You're lucky you didn't get shot.
33:12You got any other weapons on you?
33:14No.
33:15We need to ask you about the chemicals in your barn.
33:18Chemicals?
33:19What are you talking about?
33:20You don't sell drugs under the name of the apothecary?
33:24Sure.
33:24During the Reagan administration.
33:27Hell, with my eyes, I can barely take care of my own yard.
33:35You have somebody that helps you, don't you?
33:37Yeah, local boy, good kid.
33:40He tolerates my stories about my outlaw days.
33:43Sometimes I help him with his chemistry homework.
33:46As far as I can tell, he does good work.
33:49You tell me.
33:51Yeah, he does a good job, all right.
33:54We met one of your clients today, Mr. Kiffner, retired chemist.
33:58He said he helps you with your homework from time to time.
34:00He also told us he shared with you his stories from when he used to sell cannabis under the name
34:05of the apothecary.
34:07You want to share anything with us, Paul, or should we just get a search warrant to check your bank
34:11accounts and your online order history?
34:12I'm sorry, what's this about?
34:13If we do, we're going to find that you ordered chemicals from China that are currently in Louis Kiffner's barn,
34:18aren't we?
34:18Wait, what are you saying?
34:19Paul, please tell me you had nothing to do with this.
34:25I was only messing around.
34:29It's really just a chemistry problem.
34:32Only this chemistry problem got me invited to parties like ones I never got invited to before.
34:37You started selling this stuff online under the name that you heard from Kiffner's old stories.
34:43Last few weeks, totally picked up.
34:46I started making a lot of money, but people wanted to get even higher.
34:51So I pushed the envelope.
34:53I never meant to hurt anyone.
34:56Especially you and Dad.
34:58Paul, your father could have died.
35:01I could have killed someone.
35:02You did this all so you could get invited to parties?
35:05Don't you get it?
35:06All the pressure that you and Dad put me under to take all APs, be valedictorian, get into an IV,
35:12I had no friends, Mom.
35:15Zero.
35:15Hey, Paul, you're facing some serious charges here, but you can start to make it right by
35:21giving me a client list so I can get the stuff off the streets before more people get hurt.
35:35Hey, contact everybody on Paul's list.
35:38Edgewater should be a lot quieter tonight.
35:41Thank God.
35:41I'm exhausted.
35:43I'm gonna head home.
35:45All right.
35:49Don't forget your dress.
35:58These friends, you know, we were a tight-knit group.
36:01Our kids grew up together.
36:02And with me being such a young mom, I felt so isolated.
36:07These women were my lifeline.
36:09We did everything together, including the husbands.
36:12And then Travis and I got divorced.
36:15It changed the whole dynamic.
36:17I mean, I still hung out with the moms, but when they did things as a group, you know,
36:21they still invited me, but it just made me feel like a failure.
36:24You know, their marriages had all worked out, somehow.
36:28And mine didn't.
36:30Over time, I just stopped hanging out with them.
36:33I didn't realize how much I missed them.
36:36And then they invited you to this birthday party.
36:39Yeah, I told them that Travis and I were back together.
36:41They were so excited.
36:46And now he's gone.
36:48And if I walk in there alone, I have to admit to being a failure all over again.
36:58And it's a reminder of everything I lost.
37:04Again.
37:08You may feel like a failure, but nobody thinks of you that way.
37:12And your friends clearly want to see you, or they wouldn't keep asking you.
37:16Think about it.
37:21Good night, bud.
37:24Good night.
37:50Are you guys high?
37:53Dave's not here, man.
38:00We're not high.
38:02We're baked.
38:04So you not only thought it was okay to eat all of my ice cream,
38:08you had Gina fake a dentist appointment so you guys can smoke pot in my house.
38:16You are going to feel so bad when you hear that I have breast cancer.
38:24Gina, I'm so sorry.
38:26Are you okay?
38:27See?
38:27What did I say?
38:30I don't want your sympathy.
38:32The only reason I told you is because I don't want you to give your dad a hard time.
38:37Because he was my ride or die for my first treatment today.
38:41And after I barfed in his hat, he knew just how to treat my nausea.
38:46Nausea.
38:47Nausea.
38:48Sick.
38:50Are you nauseous too?
38:53I have a rumbly in my tumbly.
39:00You're going to focus on your health.
39:02Take as much time as you need off work, okay?
39:04Oh, hell no, Mickey.
39:05I am going to be fine.
39:09Oh, beautiful dress.
39:10That's such a shame it has to go back into your closet.
39:14Actually, I'm going to go put it on so that I'm not late.
39:17I thought you decided not to go.
39:19What made you change your mind?
39:21I'm fine.
39:22Talk me into it.
39:32Mickey, you look amazing.
39:36Dad, are you crying?
39:39No, it's leave.
39:40Makes my eyes red.
39:48Hi.
39:52What are you doing here?
39:55Um, I thought if you didn't want to go to the party alone, that I'd be your plus one.
40:03But I see that you're, uh, you're good to go, so.
40:07Well, good for you.
40:09Let's.
40:09Wait.
40:12The food of this place is supposed to be really good.
40:16And I'd love for you to meet my friends.
40:19Yeah, sure.
40:20Okay.
40:21No.
40:22Let me, uh, let me get a picture and get one for your prom.
40:27I didn't go to prom, Dad.
40:27I was eight months pregnant.
40:30Okay, that's enough.
40:31We're good.
40:32Hey, you have her home at 10 o'clock, all right?
40:34Don't make me come looking for you.
40:36Thanks.
40:36Good night.
40:44Let's do it.
40:46Here.
40:56Nine girls.
40:58Tremogrants.
40:59Homeless.
41:01Sex worker.
41:06Juvenile delinquent.
41:09All marginalized.
41:10All went missing around the time of the Blood Moon Festival.
41:12And this year's festival's two weeks away.
41:16You going to Mickey with this?
41:17Not until I have more than just a hunch.
41:20But you do have more than a hunch.
41:26I think this guy targeted girls who he knew no one would notice if they went missing.
41:31This guy?
41:36I think Edgewater has a serial killer on his hands.
41:44This might be the best thing I've ever tasted.
41:47Oh, my God.
41:49Amazing.
41:51Look, don't get me wrong.
41:52It was so nice to meet your friends.
41:53It was super fun.
41:56But what was up with the food?
41:58The portions were like...
41:59Oh, man.
42:00Stop it.
42:00Yeah.
42:00Yeah.
42:01Do not ever let me eat anything with the word foam in the title.
42:05Again.
42:10Is that the sound of blue love?
42:16Yes.
42:19Yeah, I finally accepted a date.
42:21Oh.
42:22Come on.
42:22I want to see.
42:23No, no, no.
42:24With your greasy fingers.
42:25Come on.
42:28Oh.
42:28Oh, she's pretty.
42:31Why are you so surprised?
42:34What is the handcuff icon, dear?
42:35No, no.
42:36Oh, my God.
42:37Shine.
42:37I want to see.
42:41I want to see.
42:46I want to see.
42:47New CBS Tonight.
42:48Happy St. Patrick's Day.
42:50Hey.
42:50There's a credible threat against the St. Patrick's Day parade.
42:53What is it?
42:54That's Manu Sangriento.
42:55Mexican cartel.
42:56These guys are maniacs.
42:57This has got all a lot worse.
42:59Boston Blue is all new CBS Tonight.
43:02Fire Country is all new CBS Next.
43:05And streaming on Paramount+.
