00:04You
00:52I don't know.
01:02I don't know.
01:31I don't know.
02:08I don't know.
03:07You know, I was thinking maybe I'd go out to the desert for a couple of days, do some camping,
03:12give you some space.
03:14I didn't ask for any space.
03:16Well, I can do some.
03:19Your statins are ready to be picked up this afternoon.
03:22But the Norvast is...
03:23Yeah, yeah, I get the pharmacy's texts, too.
03:27Right.
03:31Yeah, good.
03:47Oh, Wally, hey.
03:48Oh, hello, darling.
03:50Let me help you with that.
03:50Oh, no, I got it.
03:52No need.
03:52I'm just some relic site dug out of the storage space.
03:56Oh, doing the experiment.
03:57Oh, no, Sam is helping me put together a fundamentals of science class I'm doing at the community center.
04:04I thought you were helping with me and me center.
04:06Well, you know, gotta get back in the good graces.
04:09You have been spending a lot of time with Sam the last few days.
04:12Well, you know, I like a fixer-upper.
04:15No, so excuse me.
04:17Science, like myself, waits for no man.
04:27Honey.
04:29I'm home.
04:31I just added two dedicated 20-amp circuits to the main panel, so we shouldn't have any more blowouts.
04:37Wonderful.
04:38Now, how about fixing the fucking lights?
04:40Yeah, yeah, it's on the list.
04:43What's this?
04:43Oh, these are the last parts for our brand-new, slightly-used HPLC machine.
04:48What exactly does an HPLC machine do?
04:51Well, it should finally tell us what kind of creature your star-spangled guru came from.
04:56How much did it cost?
04:57Oh, seven, give or take, thousand.
05:01You can't take it with you, Sam.
05:03The pharaohs tried.
05:04All it got them was looted.
05:06Oh, who the hell is that?
05:07Oh, it's probably Judy.
05:08Chatty Nancy Drew knows we're up to something.
05:10Oh, get rid of her.
05:12Hey, uh...
05:13Neil, what are you doing here?
05:16Whoa, that looks like a bomb went off in there.
05:20You're Neil.
05:21Oh, hey.
05:23I'm doing a little remodeling.
05:25Well, that's a big step.
05:27I'm proud of you, Pop.
05:27Yeah, what can I do for you, Neil?
05:28Um, I need to get Claire's mom's album.
05:31Album?
05:32Uh, yeah.
05:33Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run.
05:35Oh, right, right.
05:36Yeah, yeah, I'm still looking for it.
05:38You promised Claire.
05:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
05:40I haven't found it yet.
05:41I've been busy.
05:43Remodeling.
05:44Appreciate you coming around, Neil.
05:46Hey, I've been doing some reading on loss, and I found this book that I think would be
05:51really good for you.
05:52It's an exciting new gloss on Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, and it recontextualizes the healing process
05:58into one of these really interesting new concepts.
06:01See, Kubler-Ross saw grief as a linear progression through the stages, right?
06:05So it's denial, anger, sadness, et cetera.
06:09But this posits grief as a pyramid.
06:12Pyramid?
06:13Yeah, with acceptance at the bottom.
06:14You should get going, Neil.
06:16You don't want to get caught up in all that rush-out traffic.
06:20Right.
06:25You know, I get it.
06:28You're not that fond of me.
06:30Okay.
06:31But I came here for Claire.
06:35She's hurting.
06:36Just as much as you are.
06:38So I get that you can't see through your own pain right now.
06:42I get it.
06:44But you're a dad, so you have to.
07:04Hey, with me.
07:05Hey, it's Erica.
07:06I ran that name you gave me through NCIC, NDEX, and a buddy at Chicago PD.
07:11What you got?
07:12A couple of speeding tickets, that's all.
07:15Sam Cooper is a Boy Scout.
07:17Oh.
07:19Okay.
07:21All right.
07:23Thanks, Erica.
07:25So, does this mean you're back on the beat?
07:27You working for a paper?
07:29No.
07:30No.
07:31I'm still retired.
07:33Who's trying to help out a friend?
07:35Uh-huh.
07:37Hey, we got to catch up.
07:39We should do that.
07:40Okay.
07:40Bye.
07:41Bye-bye.
07:47You agreed that I would have the royalties.
07:51It's all I had.
07:52Here you go.
07:53Yeah, thank you.
08:01Hey, kiddo.
08:02Hey, Art, thank you.
08:06You all right?
08:07My ex is suing me.

08:11Again.
08:12I'm sorry.
08:14I'm sorry.
08:15Yeah.
08:16It's better than being married to him, though, right?
08:18Hey, Tom.
08:22The wise are wise only because they love.
08:27Fools are fools only because they think they can understand love.
08:32The wise...

13:47Rene, hey, what's up?
13:48Pass.
13:49Sorry to call so late.
13:52I've just got an alert from your camera, so I'm going to head over there and check it out.
13:57My ship is almost done.
13:59Don't go in without me.
14:02No promises.
14:17You're taking too long.
14:18I've never done this before.
14:22Can I try?
14:23I've almost got it.
14:25You're never going to...
14:33This way.
14:47Sam.
14:48Hey.
14:49What's wrong?
14:56What was that?
14:59Shh.
15:24Stay back.
15:25Jack, do not move.
15:30How old is that pepper spray, Judy?
15:34It's expired 2002.
15:37Shit.
15:38Have you been following us?
15:39I damn well have.
15:40I saw you, the both of you, with that hammer.
15:44And then all of the crazy lights.
15:46Shh.
15:46Take it easy, Judy.
15:47Don't tell me to take it easy.
15:48Jack is dead.
15:50He's dead, and I think you two know something about it.
15:52We can explain.
15:53Talk fast.
15:56It's complicated.
15:57Well, simplify it, or I will pull this fire alarm.
16:01No, you don't want to do that.
16:02What I want is for you to tell me the truth right now.
16:05Did you kill Jack?
16:07Of course not.
16:08Why should I believe you?
16:09How long have you been friends, Judy?
16:11Huh?
16:12You know me.
16:13Get back.
16:14I may be many things, but I'm not a liar.
16:17You lied to me this morning.
16:18That doesn't count.
16:20Jack was murdered.
16:22Not by us.
16:25By who?
16:27The answer lies behind that door.
16:29Now, if you pull that alarm, we'll never know the truth.
16:33I'm hoping you won't.
16:34Because we all want the same thing.
16:39Justice.
16:41For Jack.
16:52Okay.
16:54Okay.
16:55Show me.
16:58Okay.
17:21I'm hoping you'll see you next time.
17:48Who's there? Come out!
17:51Hey! Stop!
17:55Are you okay?
17:57No.
17:58Just cut the shit out of me.
18:21Uh, you two may want to clear out.
18:25I'll stay.
18:34I'm not.
18:36I'm not.
18:40I'm not.
18:41I'm not.
18:47I'm not.
19:00Um, he may want to follow her lead.
19:05This next part isn't very palatable.
19:09I can handle it.
19:10Well, there'll be packing in every cavity, lots of it.
19:14And when I unseal his mouth, he may release fluids and odors.
19:23I'll go check on Judy.
19:25Good thinking.
19:39I thought we could use this.
19:41I know I could.
19:43This doesn't make sense.
19:45The camera is designed to activate when it senses motion.
19:48But it's like it can't see whatever knocked the bin over, which doesn't make sense.
19:53Drink this.
19:55It'll help.
19:57Thanks.
20:02Ah, screw it.
20:03I'll swap out the camera tomorrow.
20:05It must be busted.
20:05I'll leave the live feed on in case Ortiz decides to come back.
20:09You know, it sounded more like an animal.
20:11Like a raccoon?
20:12No, not at all.
20:14Maybe somebody's messing with you.
20:16Do you have any enemies?
20:17No, I killed them all.
20:18Well, I respect that.
20:20I respect that.
20:25Although it could be my ex-husband.
20:28He's what the French would call a fucking asshole.
20:31Tell me more.
20:32No, no.
20:33That would take all night.
20:35Oh, I got all night?
20:36All right.
20:39All right.
20:57How long have you known about me, Jack?
21:02I saw that look you gave, Wally.
21:10Since the night of the barbecue.
21:14What gave us away?
21:16Tiger bomb.
21:17Hey, no judgment here.
21:21No judgments accepted.
21:28Art and I have been married 44 years.
21:32We met at Berkeley in the 70s.
21:35You dig?
21:37Everything's everything.
21:39Sure.
21:41I was a bouncy, titty groundbreaker.
21:45Art was a counterculture shit stirrer.
21:50You both had big-ass hair.
21:53Big ideas.
21:55Really?
21:57We did shit how we did it.
21:59We decided to marry.
22:02We decided to have kids.
22:05And when.
22:08We decided together.
22:12We're family, Sam.
22:14You're a step of the way.
22:16That's nice.
22:18And we fuck who we want to fuck.
22:21Only rule was don't fall in love.
22:29That you fell in love with Jack.
22:35I did.
22:38I'm not deluded.
22:40I see the ears etched across my face.
22:45Not to feel the weight of my body.
22:48But Jack.
22:52Jack saw a girl in me.
22:55He could see it.
22:58And he respected the woman.
23:02Jack could.
23:04He could.
23:05Jack saw us.
23:07The way we wish we were.
23:10He was good.
23:14The way we were.
23:15He's gone.
23:19Everybody loved Jack.
23:23And Jack certainly did love everybody.
23:27I was just one in my life.
23:34That's not the way Jack described you.
23:38What did he say?
23:40He was seeing someone special.
23:43Hmm.
23:55They say that grief is less like a line
24:01and more like a pyramid.
24:07with, um,
24:11acceptance
24:13at the bottom.
24:15Who said that?
24:17My son-in-law.
24:18Is he simple?
24:22No.
24:23No.
24:25He's a college professor.
24:27That pyramid.
24:28Bless his heart.
24:30Ha ha ha ha.
24:32Ha ha ha.
24:33Ha ha ha.
24:33Ha ha ha.
24:33Ha ha ha.
24:34Ha ha ha.
24:35Ha ha ha.
24:35Ha ha ha.
24:41There's something you need to see.
24:45Okay.
24:46I didn't find anything unusual
24:47on Jack's body
24:50except for these marks
24:52in the back of his throat
24:53to see for yourself.
24:55What are those?
24:57Puncture wounds.
24:59Mostly scarred over,
25:00although some fresh,
25:03all leading right
25:04to the base of Jack's brain.
25:08This could be what that thing
25:09was doing to Jack's mouth.
25:10What?
25:11I ain't.
25:11It was convulsing.
25:13Like it was...
25:14Like it was feeding on him.
25:16Hey,
25:16it's about goddamn time
25:17you guys tell me
25:18exactly what is going on.
25:23So the business took off.
25:25I handled the artists,
25:26he handled the books.
25:27But when I left him,
25:28he knew where the money was.
25:30I mean,
25:31what he didn't outright steal,
25:32he sued me for.
25:34And the legal fees
25:35and all that,
25:35so I ended up
25:37having to move in here.
25:38It was my mother.
25:40Humbling.
25:41Oh,
25:41it was a nightmare.
25:43But,
25:43you know,
25:44she died,
25:44and then I just
25:45kept on living here.
25:48What about you?
25:50I grew up local,
25:51joined up with the first band
25:53headed out of town
25:53and never looked back.
25:55Yet here you are.
25:57Yeah,
25:57well,
25:57my big sister
25:58got in a car accident.
26:00I came back
26:00to help with my nephews.
26:02This was the only place
26:03willing to hire a drummer
26:04with no resume.
26:06It's your sister now.
26:07They fused her spine
26:08with steel rods.
26:10Yeah,
26:10she's indestructible.
26:12It's a terrifying prospect
26:13to a little brother.
26:15Is that,
26:16is that Glastonbury?
26:18Oh,
26:19this?
26:20Yeah.
26:22It is.
26:23Uh,
26:232010,
26:24I think.
26:25I was there.
26:27No,
26:27you were.
26:28No,
26:28hand the God.
26:29No,
26:29you were not.
26:31Over here,
26:32somewhere.
26:32Oh,
26:33so you really
26:34splurged on the tickets.
26:35Yeah,
26:35well,
26:36some of us
26:36don't have suit money.
26:38Oh.
26:39Pfft.
26:46Would it be okay
26:48if I kissed you?
26:50Yes.
27:27You didn't ask.
27:30Right.
27:34I don't know.
27:39No,
27:39I don't know.
27:50Oh,
27:53oh.
27:55Yeah.
27:59Oh,
28:23What are you up to, Scar?
28:28Go for Hank.
28:29A lady out walking her dog said she saw some people moving around inside the funeral home.
28:34What? Like zombies?
28:36She didn't say.
28:38All right. Send some guys down. I'll meet you over there.
28:42Copy that.
28:49Sweet memory
28:53I can't stand the rain
29:01I can't stand the rain
29:20What?
29:34Oh, my God.
30:00There is no such thing as monsters.
30:02We never said monster.
30:04So this not a coyote, not a chimpanzee was feeding on Jack.
30:09That's our theory.
30:12You have to check me.
30:14Check you?
30:14You said this thing was feeding on Jack in his sleep.
30:19Well, I spent the night at Jack's a few times.
30:23Oh, I see.
30:24Could it have that on me, too?
30:27Maybe.
30:27Wally, I need to know.
30:29Okay, all right, here, have a seat.
30:31You better check me, too.
30:33You?
30:34Why?
30:34Edward said the monster was behind his walls.
30:37Well, they're my walls now.
30:39Good point.
30:42Okay, open white.
30:53Okay, now the drill.
31:00Well?
31:03You both have the marks.
31:06Okay, so the things has been feeding on me, has been feeding on Sam, it could be feeding
31:11on anyone.
31:12Or everyone.
31:14Cops!
31:15Shit.
31:16Is there another way out?
31:17No, it's just the one door.
31:18We are dead meat.
31:21Exactly.
31:28You're in here.
31:30Come out.
31:31Before things get gnarly.
31:34Hands up.
31:35Hands in the air.
31:36Go.
31:41What are you doing here, Mr. Cooper?
31:43Just came to say goodbye to Jack.
31:45Yeah?
31:45Did you come alone?
31:46Yeah.
31:47Yeah, just me.
31:48Let's go.
31:50Come out.
