- Hey, Bish.
- Morning, Jamie.
Have you heard from Jared?
How's he doing?
His new companion's
kind of weird.
But they got
a couple baptisms.
Well,
good for him.
Hey, Wes.
Hey, April.
How's little Mac?
- Hey, Bishop.
- How's the bun?
- The bun's fine, thanks.
- It's the oven we're worried about.
The oven is fine, too.
Wes,
Sister Perkins is inside.
I don't know what she wants.
She won't talk to me.
All right.
- Your check's the receipt.
- Thanks, Peg.
- Morning, Bishop.
- Morning, Barbara.
Well, look who finally decided
to drag his butt out of bed.
Don't know why everybody
calls you Bishop.
Maybe that's because
he's the bishop.
He's a bishop.
There's 1 7 bishops in this town
but there's only one sheriff.
- Is there ever?
Besides, bishops aren't
supposed to have mustaches.
Just trying to be
more like Jesus.
They're also not supposed
to be smart-alecks.
Judy Perkins.
- What am l, invisible here?
- I already told you...
you've been dead for six weeks.
You just don't know it.
- Good morning, Stu.
- Morning, Sheriff.
I'll be dead someday,
you know.
And I'm sure you'll still be
hanging around my office.
^ You're gonna miss me
when I'm gone... ^
Don't you start singing
that country music.
^ You're gonna miss me
when I'm gone ^
^ You're gonna
miss me... ^
(via intercom)
^ Do you ever want to kiss me...? ^
Um...
I need to talk to you
about a problem I'm having.
Is this temporal
or spiritual?
Pardon?
Are you here to talk with
your sheriff, or your bishop?
Oh... my bishop.
In that case,
could this wait until Sunday?
I generally don't like to do
church business
while I'm on the county clock.
I'm sorry.
Normally,
I wouldn't, but...
I really need
to get this off my chest.
All right.
Um...
Would you mind...
I've never had
to confess my sins
to a man wearing
a gun before.
Oh.
Sorry.
Thanks, Judy.
Peg:
Just got a call fromthe development.
A couple of boys
are mixing it up.
- I'll go.
- No, you won't.
You're not
an officer anymore.
Yeah, well, I could be
if you'd deputize me.
- I'm not going to do it.
- What am I supposed to do,
just take out the trash
and sweep the floor?
Just be retired,
for crying out loud.
Peg:
Why don't you go homeand do some crossword puzzles?
Maybe you should take up golf.
Maybe you should all go
straight to hell.
I got 1 5, maybe 20
good years left.
I'll outlive
all of you birds, anyway.
That may be, but you're
still not going out.
I can out-ride you.
I can out-shoot you.
We don't ride anymore, Stu,
we drive.
Wes, your gun.
Oh.
That's all right, I'll just stay here
with old Peg, then.
Old Peg?
Prettier than
either one of you.
Why don't you just
take him with you?
Peg's practically married, Stu,
and don't you forget it.
That's right.
Maggie's looking down on you.
Maggie's probably got better things
to do than look down on me.
^ You're gonna miss me
when I'm gone... ^
Oh, good heavens.
(country music playing)
- (news radio playing)
- Terry, I don't want...
to listen to the news.
That's the real world going on
out there. The outside world.
What makes you think I don't know
what's going on out there?
I'm sick of it.
Murderers, rapists,
robbers...
kids with guns... it's the same story
over and over again.
I'm tired of it.
You will be, too,
by the time you're my age.
(chuckles)
Your age?
You talk like you're older than Stu.
You just can't pretend
it all doesn't happen.
- That's all I'm saying.
- It doesn't happen.
Not here.
Here's all I care about.
(country music playing)
There's something
worth listening to.
Country music...
now that's a crime.
That's scary stuff, Wes.
You're an old man,
you know that?
You're the youngest old man
I've ever known.
^ So I tell you
how I yearn for you... ^
- Wes:
We got a call about a fight.- Man:
Oh, yeah.That didn't amount to much,
just guys blowing off some steam.
Which ones?
Come on, Wes. A few punches being
thrown, a few names being called.
I stepped in and it was over
before it even got started.
What were
they fighting about?
A woman. And one guy called
another guy a spic,
and before you know it,
the fists are flying.
It's all
patched up then?
Yeah, no trouble at all.
Just like I said,
it was over before
it even got started.
Will you look at this?!
I could see a church right there,
two more
off that way,
and another one
going up over there!
I've never seen so many churches
in all my life, man.
- Is that one of them?
- That's one of them.
I love this town!
Where I come from,
we got taverns on every corner,
and whorehouses in-between, man!
I'm glad you like it.
Now get to work.
All right,
I think I will.
If you ever finish that house
I just may let you buy it.
Worker:
I might do that, I just might.
Sure is
an extroverted type.
You don't want to arrest
a potential citizen?
We don't want to discourage growth,
now do we, Sheriff?
I wouldn't mind
slowing it down a bit.
You trying to put me
out of business?
I'm just trying
All the construction
on the roads,
all your out-of-towners
coming in for work.
Everything's torn up
from here to Salt Lake.
Tell me, Bishop, how many men
in your ward are out of work?
Only the ones
that want to be.
That's right.
Prosperity.
And it ain't going
to be this way forever.
1 0 years ago, I was living
in a trailer park.
Let's enjoy this
while we got it.
Growing pains,
that's all.
That's right.
Can't stay young forever.
Terry:
How much moneyWhat, in a year?
I don't know,
Terry:
We're cops.I got everything I need.
I don't know if I'll ever be
able to buy anything.
Terry, I'm paying you
as much as I can.
I know that, Wes.
Just...
sometimes I think I ought to go
back to work for Ralph again,
you know,
learn how he does it.
I got to start putting
money away for my kids,
for their missions,
college.
Sure do miss her.
She was the only one who'd
listen to my missionary stories.
You want a minute?
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks.
Terry:
What's up?
Just some car.
I want to check this out.
Whoa.
Now that's a car.
Pop that glove box...
see if you can find my ticket book.
(bird squawking)
- (phone ringing)
- Sheriff's office.
- I need you to do something.
- Shoot.
Get Ryan Parker on the phone.
Have him meet me at the Evans homestead.
Tell him to come right away.
We got a signal seven.
- Okay. Will do.
- Give me the number...
- For the FBI office in Salt Lake.
- Roger.
Thanks.
What's a signal seven?
What the heck
is a signal seven?
That's a dead body.
I need you to go into town
and get Ed Gray.
We're going to need
his tow truck.
Look what
they did to her.
They didn't have
to leave her like that.
(flies buzzing)
(sirens wailing)
