Brigham City Page #2

- Are you Wes Clayton?

- Sheriff Clayton, yes.

- Are you the one who found the body?

- Yes, I did.

Agent #2:
Have you identified

the victim?

No, that's an out-of-state car.

That's why I called you in.

- Okay, great. Thanks.

- Agent #2:
Don't go away.

- Sheriff?

- Hey, chief.

I never expected to make

a business trip to Brigham.

Oh, I know it.

(sirens wailing)

We can'tjust

let these guys in here.

We got to finish

our investigation.

We don't have

an investigation.

- Is that all right?

- That's great. Thanks.

That lady died in our town.

We got to take care of this.

We don't have to

take care of anything.

This doesn't have anything

to do with our town.

- What's going on?

- There's been a killing.

- It's California plates.

- Terry:
Wes...

That's an out-of-state vehicle.

We were just another exit ramp.

It could have

happened anywhere.

This is right

in our own back yard.

People don't even lock

their doors in our town.

I don't want them to start.

This doesn't have anything to do

with anybody in our town

except you and me.

That's where I want it to stop.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?!

Yeah.

- Ed, do you understand?

- Yeah.

Terry, you're not even going

to talk to your wife about this.

If anybody asks us anything,

we're going to keep our mouths shut.

- Peg knows, right?

- She knows.

I didn't sign up

just to walk kids across the street.

You signed up

to serve these people

and to protect these people.

And this kind of thing...

they don't want to know about it.

Sheriff, has there ever been

a murder in this town?

Never.

We'll do the autopsy

in Provo.

She'll be there a few more days,

if you want another look at her.

Great.

Thanks, Ryan.

We're not stepping

on any toes, are we?

Apparently, I'm taking orders

from those two today.

It's all right.

It's fine.

Just take her.

Get her out of here.

All right then.

Hey, Ryan.

I'd appreciate it if the reporters

didn't get a hold of this.

- I'm not going to make

- If anybody calls...

If anybody calls,

I'll refer them to you.

Thanks.

Don't let those Feds

bully you around, Wes.

If I were you,

I'd keep my nose in this one.

(engine starts)

I think we have

everything we need here.

Do you guys mind waiting

for the tow truck to finish?

I'll stay.

Give us a call if there's

anything else we need to know.

Don't be surprised if you see us

around town the next few days.

Listen, I'd rather

you left that part to me.

Don't worry, Sheriff.

We'll keep a low profile.

All right.

You want me to bring some food?

Hot chocolate or something?

I'm just going

to wait for Ed.

He can give me a ride home

in the tow truck.

All right.

Something finally happens

around here...

you just pretend

it never did.

It'll all be over,

as soon as that car leaves town.

(engine starts)

(marching band playing)

(crowd cheering)

So it is

with great honor,

we have

gathered here today

to celebrate

one more year,

and to wish

our beautiful little city

Happy Birthday,

on this, the 1 38th anniversary

of its founding.

(beeps)

We love you,

Little Brigham!

(mild applause)

(wolf whistles)

Just be careful.

Watch where you're going.

Okay, go, go.

Guys...!

Kilo Two,

this is Dispatch.

Could you make sure

you look where you're going?

Peg on radio:

Terry, are you there?

Terry!

This is Kilo Two,

go ahead.

I'm getting calls

about an overflowing

irrigation ditch on 600 North.

What do you want me

to do about it? I'm busy.

I told them we'd get

somebody over there.

- Why can't they do it themselves?

- Because they're helpless.

I can't do it.

Where's Stu?

(old car horn honks)

(cheering)

Hey, boss.

You keeping this riot under control?

We're trying.

Have there been

any developments on that...

No.

You're coming

to my baptism aren't you?

I wouldn't miss it.

You know that.

(chuckles)

Excuse me.

Steve, I need you

to do me a favor.

Sure,

anything you need.

Are you still

developing your own film?

Mm-hmm.

I need you to develop

these for me.

Take that to one of those

quickie stops.

- They can open it right up.

- No, I can't take it anywhere.

I need you to develop these,

then I need you to bring the prints

back to me... directly to me.

You're not to talk about

what you see in here.

All right.

Excuse me.

You think you two could be

any more conspicuous?

Sheriff.

You're sticking out

like a couple of sore thumbs.

Oh, that's

much better.

Thanks.

We've gotten a call on that,

but we're pretty busy with the parade.

I understand that.

Yes, definitely.

I'm sure you will.

Okay. All right.

Let's go get

some cotton candy.

Excuse me.

Goodbye to you, too.

- You're missing all the fun.

- You want to answer the phone?

- No.

- (phone rings)

I didn't think so.

Sheriff's office, this is Peg.

Yes.

Yes, ma'am, we've already

gotten a call on that.

It was the head trauma

that killed her.

I'm sure you picked up

on that.

It was kind of hard to miss.

We pulled debris samples

from underneath her fingernails.

- Maybe she scratched them.

- We pulled debris and fibers

from her clothes, from the car,

we got hair, blood samples.

Hopefully the mess

wasn't all hers.

- Was she raped?

- No.

And it doesn't look

like a robbery.

We are checking

the interstate records

to find anything that looks

familiar to anybody,

but so far, no luck.

But it is the weekend.

Listen,

I've got a deputy...

who's eager

to help out on this one.

I could lend him to you,

if it would help

speed things up.

- No. Thanks.

- Agent #2:
Relax, Sheriff.

This woman's only been dead

for a day and a half.

It's not like her blood's crying out

for vengeance just yet.

Are you Mormon?

Sure.

- Jack Mormon.

- So I'm taking a little sabbatical.

"Protect and serve,"

my eye.

Why don't you help me

shovel some of this crap?

Did you say

something to me?

This hearing aid's giving me

a piece of hell tonight.

Hey!

You want to watch where

you're flinging that stuff?

All is well.

Yes, yes it is.

All is well.

Woman:

Heavenly Father,

we thank Thee for this

beautiful Sabbath morning.

And we ask for Thy spirit

to be with the speakers today

that they will be able

to communicate Thy word

and Thy will to us.

And we ask that Thou

will continue to watch over us

and to bless us

and to care for us.

In the name of the Savior,

Jesus Christ, amen.

All:
Amen.

We have some ward business

to take care of at this time.

I'm sad to report

that the Markham family

will be moving...

- Three blocks east.

- (laughing)

So they'll still be

in our ward.

and they would appreciate it

if as many of us, as can,

would help them move

into their new place Friday.

So, let's all try to get out

and help them.

Also...

Sister Judy Perkins,

will you please stand?

At this time, we'd like
