00:00Sorry about your friend. It's not uncommon for older apnea patients to aspirate, go into heart failure.
00:05It was an heart attack.
00:08Okay, what was it?
00:10I don't know. It was a thing.
00:16A thing?
00:20Like an animal or something.
00:22What kind of animal?
00:26I don't know.
00:27We didn't see any animal.
00:29Well, I scared it off.
00:31I get it.
00:33It was dark. Shadows do weird things.
00:36You got confused.
00:37I'm not confused.
00:40I know what I saw.
00:41An animal.
00:45Something.
00:48You know what, Mr. Cooper, why don't you take a ride with us?
00:50Get a full checkup at the hospital.
00:52Make sure you didn't knock your head or something.
00:54I thought you said I was okay.
00:55Hey, better safe.
00:59Nothing wrong with my head.
01:01Okay.
01:02You start to feel lightheaded or confused or anything at all, just call out the seraphim.
01:06Yeah, I don't need anyone's help.
01:10Fair enough.
01:33Another beautiful day in the burrows.
01:35Mm-hmm.
01:37Mm-hmm.
01:37Mm-hmm.
01:38Mm-hmm.
03:50Good morning.
03:52Good morning, love.
04:00I'm thinking about maybe going to that good farmer's market and looking square today.
04:04Yeah, I need shallows for that.
04:08I'll come with me.
04:12What's this?
04:21Lily?
04:23Lily?
04:24Lily, stop.
04:27Stop!
04:38Yeah?
04:39Yeah?
04:39Dad, what the hell?
04:40Excuse me?
04:41Were you ever going to tell me what happened?
04:44What happened?
04:45They said someone broke into your house and attacked you.
04:48Are you okay?
04:51Yeah.
04:52Yeah, I'm fine.
04:53Yeah, this guy, Edward, I think he's got some kind of dementia.
04:57He got confused.
04:58He broke in.
05:00Said some weird stuff.
05:01Why didn't you call me?
05:03Oh, I knew you'd worry.
05:05Oh, I want to worry.
05:06Yeah, well, that's done.
05:09Thanks, Dad.
05:11What is that tapping sound?
05:17There's an owl in the walls.
05:19What are you talking about?
05:21An owl?
05:22Claire, I can't talk right now.
05:23Okay, what's going on?
05:24I'm confused.
05:25I am not confused.
05:27But that's not what I said.
05:29I gotta go.
05:30I got something to do.
05:31Dad, I...
05:35Hey, look who's up.
05:37I made you breakfast.
05:40Grab a seat.
05:43I picked some raspberries on my hike yesterday.
05:47I figured I'd make you some special pancakes, like the old days.
05:54John Gunther, he said,
05:57all happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.
06:01I'm allergic to raspberries.
06:04Since when?
06:10Right, right.
06:13Well, there's some bacon there.
06:17Some juice.
06:18Help yourself.
06:20I gotta meet the guys for golf.
06:23You know how wonk gets if I'm late for tea off.
06:27Coffee's on.
06:29Don't worry about the dishes.
06:30I'll get them later.
06:30Sorry about the mess.
06:36Okay, Dad.
06:38See you tonight.
06:42Bye.
06:58Hey, Franklin.
06:59Hey, Franklin.
07:13See you in the trails, Art?
07:14Perfect day for a hike.
07:16Hey, you stay hydrated out there.
07:18Desert heat sneaks up on you.
07:20Yeah, well, I'm an Eagle Scout.
07:23Always prepared.
07:29I can feel the darkness in your shadow.
07:36Such a shame about Jack.
07:38He was such a nice boy.
07:41I liked him.
07:43I really liked him for about two months last summer.
07:47Uh, yes, well, they're having a memorial at Senor Cusina's tonight.
07:53Oh, crap.
07:54Who holds a memorial in a Mexican restaurant?
07:57It was Jack, obviously.
07:59That could be fun.
08:00I went to Rebecca's memorial at the chess club last month.
08:04That was bleak.
08:06Would they know how to replace half of the chess set?
08:10What?
08:11Uh, my granddaughter bought me the most beautiful chess set last Christmas.
08:16And the other night, all of the white pieces just vanished.
08:20Oh, gone.
08:21What were they made out of?
08:22Uh, that white shit.
08:25Quartz.
08:45Uh, it's a waste of time.
08:47Oh, it is not a waste of time.
08:50These studies are from leading minds in alternative cancer research throughout Europe and Asia.
08:55Okay, well, you both know what alternative means, Wally.
08:57It means non-Western.
08:59It doesn't mean invalid.
09:01These treatments have all been debunked.
09:02Just like the apricot seeds and the hypnosis you insisted we try.
09:07Miracle cures aren't real.
09:09Well, miracles are all I got.
09:15What'd your oncologist in Santa Fe say?
09:17I haven't talked to him yet.
09:18Why not?
09:19He stopped returning my calls.
09:22Wally.
09:23You're a doctor.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Probably a better doctor than I'll ever be.
09:27Yeah.
09:32A patient comes to me.
09:34He's in his 60s.
09:36Early 60s.
09:36Has stage four prostate cancer.
09:38He's tried surgery, radiation, chemo, even proton beam therapy.
09:42Nothing's worked.
09:44And now the cancer's spread to his liver.
09:49What would you tell him?
09:52I'd tell him to try the apricot seeds.
10:02All right, come on, everybody.
10:04With me.
10:04Let's go.
10:06All right, here we go.
10:07Come on.
10:08Get.
10:10Keep up.
10:11Keep up.
10:11Can I help you?
10:13Betty, come here.
10:14Tell this man what you told me in Pilates class.
10:17My granddaughter bought me a chess set, which she should not have done because her great
10:21husband just got laid off from his job.
10:24And I know it cost her a pretty penny.
10:26But she is the sweetest girl.
10:28Betty, Betty.
10:29Tell him about your missing chess pieces.
10:31My chess pieces are missing.
10:33Her court's chess pieces.
10:35Just like the court's jewelry that's missing from my classroom.
10:38Just like the court's coasters that vanished from Paul's kitchen.
10:42We all have the same story.
10:44I mean, there is a thief out there who is stealing our worthless shit.
10:48So what are you going to do about it?
10:50I guess I better file a report.
10:53Right.
10:55There is one problem, though.
10:57Oh, here we go.
10:59Well, if I file this report, Hank is probably going to fire me, which means I could starve
11:04to death unless you promise to take me to dinner.
11:08I'll take you.
11:10I'm watching you, Betty.
11:13So what do you say?
11:15Fine.
11:16If you get fired.
11:18With candles and a nice glass of wine.
11:20No Applebee's.
11:21No Applebee's.
11:24Paz.
11:24Renee.
11:25Oh, yeah, I remember, too.
11:36Here we go, Edward.
11:38Right here.
11:39Okay?
11:40Want me to stick around?
11:41No.
11:42We're fine.
11:43Okie dokie.
11:44I'll be right over there if you need anything.
11:47And, uh, do me a favor.
11:48Try not to rile him up.
11:50He's having a good day.
11:52Understood.
11:56You remember me, Edward?
11:59I think so.
12:02You remember my house?
12:05Your house?
12:07You remember what you told me about the owl in the walls?
12:11Here's your coffee.
12:14Two vanilla lattes.
12:16One with oat milk and one regular.
12:21I didn't...
12:22Enjoy.
12:24Vanilla's my favorite.
12:32I need you to focus, Edward.
12:35I need you to tell me about the owl.
12:38You ready to go, champ?
12:40Go?
12:41Where are we going?
12:42To the park, Joey.
12:43No.
12:43I'm not Joey.
12:44I'm Sam.
12:45It's a good day to fly a kite.
12:46Focus, Edward.
12:47I need you to tell me about the owl in the walls.
12:50Where's your kite?
12:51How are you going to fly a kite without a kite?
12:53There's no kite.
12:56There's no park.
12:57I'm not Joey.
12:58I'm Sam.
12:59Sam.
13:00Damn it.
13:02I need you to tell me about the owl in the wall.
13:06But Noah's my favorite.
13:08No.
13:28Look, Dad.
13:30I found my kite.
13:32That's the beaut, Joey.
13:34Why don't you take it?
13:35You can hold it so I don't lose it again.
13:37I'll put it with the others
13:39till we can take it for a proper spin.
13:42Kites are made to be flown.
13:43Sure thing, Dad.
13:49You're not Joey, are you?
13:53I'm afraid not.
13:54You're the one looking for the owl.
13:57That's right.
14:04I caught one.
14:07You did?
14:08I locked it up.
14:10Where?
14:11You need the key.
14:13Key?
14:14What key?
14:15The key is in the light.
14:16The owl is in the walls.
14:18The key is in the light.
14:19The owl is in the walls.
14:20The key is in the light.
14:21The owl is in the walls.
14:23The key is in the light.
14:24The owl is in the wall.
14:25Okay, Edward.
14:25The key is in the light.
14:26It's time to go back to your room.
14:27The owl is in the wall.
14:27You have to rile and obtain you.
14:28The owl is in the walls.
14:29The key is in the light.
14:30Okay.
14:31The owl is in the walls.
14:32The key is in the light.
14:33The owl is in the walls.
14:34I'm going back to your room at work.
14:36The key's in the light.
14:37The owl is in the wall.
14:38Okay.
14:39The key's in the light.
14:40Yes.
14:41But the owl is in the wall.
14:42The key is in the light.
14:44The owl is in the wall.
14:50The key is in the light.
15:06The owl is in the light.
15:23Hey, Bruxy.
15:25You've been keeping an eye on the mushrooms?
15:29All right.
15:30Come on.
15:30There you go.
15:31You heard it.
15:32That's it.
15:39Jack died last night.
15:43That's right.
15:44You guys have been fucking my wife.
15:47I guess I should be glad that he's dead.
15:49But I'm not.
15:51I've looked the other way, Brooks.
15:54I've looked the other way for a long time.
15:57Because if I didn't, I'm afraid she might leave.
16:01But when I saw her face this morning,
16:07she wasn't sad.
16:11Her heart was broken.
16:17And I knew she was sleeping with him.
16:20And now I'm afraid that maybe she loved him, too.
16:23Hmm.
16:24You know what a psychopomp is, Brooks?
16:27Hmm?
16:28You ever heard that before?
16:31Well, some cultures believe that's what you crows are, psychopomps.
16:37Spectral beings who escort the souls of the dead to their eternal rest.
16:46Maybe you are.
16:48Maybe you are.
16:48I don't know.
16:52But if you happen to see Jack out there, hmm.
17:00Take him someplace nice.
17:11Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky.
17:19It's like stormy weather.
17:25Since my man and I ate together.
17:33Keeps raining all the time
17:39Oh yeah, life is bad
17:46Gloom and misery everywhere
17:50Stormy weather, stormy weather
17:54And I just can't get my poor
17:59Self together
18:03Oh, I'm weary all of the time
18:08Yeah
18:57Girl
19:19Is this memory foam?
19:21I think so
19:22Your one comes with Bluetooth speakers, you know what that means?
19:26What?
19:27I could be your afterlife DJ
19:28Oh, please, no Phoebe Bridgers
19:31That mumbling is so depressing
19:33I'm sorry, I don't take requests
19:36So, what do you think, Ronnie?
19:39Um, I think you're gonna lie in a few more coffins
19:43And complain that that one's too Bela Lugosi
19:45And, oh, that one's mahogany
19:47And mahogany reminds me of my stepdad's study
19:49And we're gonna waste half of our afternoon
19:52Until I drag you out of there
19:54And across the street for a Manhattan
19:57Just like the last five times
20:00Hmm
20:01I'll take it
20:03I'll get the paperwork
20:06What are we doing?
20:07Oh
20:08You know my love of memory foam?
20:11Uh-huh
20:12And Bluetooth in general
20:16You had a doctor's appointment this morning, what happened?
20:19Nothing happened
20:20I still have terminal cancer
20:22Which by its very definition is gonna kill me
20:26I can't keep hoping for a miracle that isn't gonna come
20:29I'm tired, Ronnie
20:32I'm tired
20:34I'm tired of the prodding
20:37The poking
20:39And being stuffed full of pills that don't work
20:42Don't do anything except make me tired
20:45And somehow keep me up all night
20:51Dying has been all
20:54Whatever time I have left
20:56I want to fill it with nothing but cocktails
20:59And chaos
21:01All right
21:02First round's on you
21:03You cheap bitch
21:06Oh!
21:30Oh, shit
21:32Shit
21:34Sam
21:36Judy
21:38How you doing?
21:39I just want to make sure that you knew that there was a memorial for Jack tonight
21:43It's 8 o'clock at Senor Cosina's place with the big sombrero
21:48I'll be there
21:49Thanks
21:51I understand that you were with Jack when in his final moments
21:58Yeah, that's right
22:01Did he suffer?
22:03No
22:05So it was peaceful?
22:07Yeah
22:09Good
22:11Yeah
22:13I know you two were close
22:16Everybody loved Jack
22:19Me too
22:22Well, I'll
22:24I'll see you at the memorial
22:25I almost forgot
22:29Is this your hand there?
22:31Um
22:35Yeah
22:37I used it to break Jack's window
22:38To get in
22:41I must have left it inside
22:42After I found his body
22:44You found Jack dead?
22:47Wish that he died peacefully
22:49Well
22:49No, he looked peaceful
22:52He went in his sleep
22:53You know
22:54By the time I got there
22:55He was gone
22:59I see
23:01Well
23:02I'm sorry
23:02But
23:03I gotta pee
23:04My glass
23:05Is not what it used to be
23:07So I'll
23:08See you at the memorial
23:08Okay
23:20The key is in the light
23:40What's this?
23:41One
23:42Quartz thief
23:43Signed
23:44Sealed
23:44Delivered
23:44This guy?
23:46Yeah
23:46I made some phone calls
23:48After you filed that police report
23:49I specifically asked you not to file
23:51But
23:51That's cool
23:53Call the buddy in Albuquerque PD
23:55And it turns out
23:56They pulled this guy over on Thursday
23:58For driving with expired tags
23:59And guess
24:00What they found in his trunk
24:0280 pounds of non-precious gemstones
24:04Including quartz jewelry

25:30while he was drinking yarn so i'm doing fine
25:39nothing to worry about
26:20that works
26:23this guy looks like someone charles manson would describe it a little much
26:27hank says he's the one who's been stealing all the courts
26:33but but hank is full of shit i called albuquerque pd
26:37they did arrest this guy but they didn't find any of your stuff in his possession
26:41or anyone else's no courts at all

33:31Oh, my God.
33:44Oh, my God.
33:59Oh, my God.
34:02Oh, my God.
34:07Oh, my God.
34:13Oh, my God.
34:25Thank you all for coming.
34:27I know we all want to share our favorite memories of Jack.
34:30First off, I would like to introduce the man on top.
34:33It is a real testament to Jack's popularity that he made time in his busy schedule to come out and
34:38honor Jack with us.
34:40Ladies and gentlemen, the CEO of the Burroughs, Blaine Shaw.
34:47Thanks, folks. Thank you. Thank you so much.
34:49You know, I remember when I was about 13, I used to rush home every day after school to watch
34:56Jack do the weather on Channel 4.
34:59Live at 5. He was our local boy made good.
35:04And I remember Jack saying that in every life, a little rain must fall.
35:11Jack never said that. You should have been rushing home to Mass.
35:15Guys.
35:18Oh, sorry, dear.
35:19You should also know that I'm going to carry his memory with me for the rest of my days.
35:23So, thanks, Jack.
35:31Wow. Thank you, Mr. Shaw, for those lovely words.
35:38You know, life is a series of strikes and gutters.
35:42Oh, God. Where's art?
35:43I need to get very high, very fast.
35:46Ooh, ye of little faith.
35:48You think I wouldn't have to carry it?
35:51No.
35:51We're all here to celebrate this life.
35:54Whose watermelon cushions is your favorite?
35:57Good, right?
35:58Hey, God.
36:00What?
36:00Seriously.
36:01I'm sorry. Do you want some?
36:02No.
36:03What I want is to be quiet.
36:06I'm sorry.
36:06I'm quiet.
36:07And now, I would like to introduce to you a very, very special friend of Jack's.
36:15Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Tony.
36:31Come on and hold me
36:34Just like you told me
36:38And show me
36:43What I want is to be quiet.
36:45Why, I need to speak with you.
36:46Hey, Sam, Sam.
36:47I can't do it now.
36:47No, no, no. You're a doctor, right?
36:49No, seriously. After the moment.
36:51That's something I need you to say.
36:52Jesus!
36:54Shut up!
37:09What was that?
37:11No clue.
37:40Got a light?
37:42I don't smoke.
37:44Me either.
37:46Ellie's scurrying to my husband.
37:48He's a worrywart.
37:51Your secret's safe with me.
38:01Do you two get to a lot of these?
38:06The price you pay for living in the burrows.
38:10Sometimes I feel like it's...
38:14It's too much.
38:26Because sometimes it is.
38:32Sometimes...
38:33You feel like you're going to explode.
38:41So I put it out there in the tether.
38:47The tether can hold it all.
38:57Well, I should get back inside.
39:00Have a good night.
39:02You too, honey.
39:31I'm about to hear it.
39:34You would not believe what I saw.
39:37Where were you?
39:39What?
39:40Jack's memorial.
39:42You don't understand.
39:43I saw something today I cannot explain.
39:47There were thousands, thousands of crows.
39:50They just filled the sky.
39:52And then suddenly...
39:53Bam!
39:56I did it!
39:58I glimpsed the divine.
40:00How high are you?
40:02It was real.
40:04Okay.
40:05I...
40:05I just...
40:06I can't do it tonight.
40:09Judy, I'm trying to tell you something.
40:11I can't do it at all.
40:11It's been...
40:19It's been...
40:33It's been so bad.
40:35Oh...
40:57What happened to your house?
40:58I had a problem with the lights.
41:00It looks a lot worse than it is.
41:01Well, it looks like shit.
41:04Uh, remember, if you kill me, it's considered a hate crime.
41:07This phenomenon, I don't know what else to call it.
41:10I stumbled across it a couple of hours ago.
41:12I've been running tests ever since, but...
41:15I'm an engineer.
41:16You're a doctor.
41:18Maybe you can tell me what the hell I'm looking at.
41:21What is that?
41:23It's the blood of the creature that killed Jack.
41:27The what?
41:29I know how it sounds.
41:30Like you've lost your mind.
41:33That's what I'm afraid of.
41:36Show me.
41:39Goggles.
41:40Goggles?
41:41Yeah.
41:42And turn out the light.
41:43Turn out the light.
41:46Now we take cover.
41:47Why are we taking cover?
41:49Sam, why are we taking cover?
41:51Shh.
41:52When's the last time you slept?
41:53Oh, just watch.
41:55Check out any one of our stuff.
41:57There's only something to think of the burrow.
42:00Something to think of the burrow.
42:02Let's get go.
42:05Let's finish.
42:10Oh.
42:36Get down.
42:51You see it, right?
42:53Yes.
42:54I see it.
43:04What is it?
43:11A miracle.
43:41A miracle.
44:11A miracle.
44:45A miracle.
