Desert Blue Page #2

Did you blow up another canoe?

Maybe.

Let her out. She's a kid! You're locking

up my daughter like she's a criminal!

- She made and detonated a bomb.

- A bomb?

I'm breaking the law

by not reporting this!

Exhibit A. The lighter.

She's got a couple of M-80s

up her sleeves!

M-80s? Exhibit B.

The Polaroid picture.

The canoe was in a million pieces.

You know, I thought you really wanted

this sherif's job in Peaksville.

It's so close.

Be a shame to lose it all...

because of a few firecrackers!

He has to replace Keeler with someone.

Why not you?

- Remember when we slashed his tires?

- Yeah.

And he couldn't respond

to that ten-car pileup?

He knows I tagged up the aqueduct.

I'm a criminal. I can't be a deputy.

Everyone did that. We were 12! The

sherifffucked around when he was a kid.

What the heck?

Ely's out of control!

What the hell was that?

I don't know.

Anybody hurt?

What's that smell?

It's coming from the truck.

F***ing A!

You're a lucky man.

There's nothing like a close brush with

death to knock the life back into you.

My arm is hurt.

What's that smell? What is that?

- It's dog sh*t.

- The secret ingredient to Empire Cola.

It's in its concentrated form.

I got it all over me.

What the hell is in it?

That's classified information.

Only a few people know.

They're not even allowed

on the same airplane.

I'm not one of them.

- How'd it happen?

- Officer?

- I saw the whole thing.

- Don't leave. I need to ask questions.

I'm going to the car.

Aren't you just the coolest?

Can I help you with something?

- She has a cell phone?

- She must be from L.A.

Sh*t!

I'm in f***ing Egypt!

Seems like her biscuit

could use a little buttering.

- Excuse me!

- Not by me.

It's just an observation.

Sh*t.

Dorks.

- Seems like a b*tch.

- You don't know her.

That's why I said, "seems like."

Hello. I'm nearing menopause.

Mr. Jason,

your N.C.I.C. Came out clean.

That's National Crime

Information Center.

Just checking to see

if you got any outstanding warrants.

I don't get it. You're investigating me

because I witnessed an accident?

I guess you'll be heading back

to San Francisco.

- Nice town?

- Great.

Too many cars,

but that's true everywhere.

Been there long?

No. I moved there

after my divorce.

My daughter still lives

with her mother in L.A.

L.A.P.D!

The greatest.

We'll contact you

if we need any more information.

Sign right here.

Are you trying to get me thrown in jail

for disturbing the peace?

Jesus Christ, Dad. I thought my clothes

were gonna go out of style.

No fear of that.

We're gonna get something to eat.

- Can we eat somewhere else?

- Sheriff said this place was fantastic.

- What's the fun of having a body if...

- You ain't got any fuel?

Right.

Let's split.

Say, let's go investigate.

Must be closed.

Let's go.

No, come on.

It's gross.

Driving all day. Need a little chow.

This place is cute.

You realize we're risking our lives

eating here, don't you?

Didn't see you come in.

Heard you had quite a scare

on the highway.

Yeah, it was a close one.

Luckily nobody got hurt.

Could I watch your television?

I'm so sorry,

but that only plays video.

- No cable.

- No cable?

I tried to get it, but they wanted me

to pay for 45 miles of cable.

- A satellite dish would be cheaper.

- Then aliens would know where we are.

- Hey!

- Hey, Mom.

I'm gonna have the B.L.T.

I got a hunch the bacon is good here.

- What are you gonna get?

- I'm not hungry.

I'll check my messages.

Excuse me.

- Do you have a phone I could use?

- There, on the wall.

Thanks.

Your turn.

Oh, my God!

I'm dying for that role!

Yeah! Of course

I can come in tomorrow.

Attention, please.

At 3511 hours, Stan Chambers died.

K-5.

- Who?

- The truck driver, he's dead.

My God, I thought he was okay!

Looks like it wasn't from the accident.

They think it was what was in the truck.

Can I call you back?

Everything's under control. The FBI

has been alerted and are on their way.

The FBI?

I'll get your bag, sir.

- Agent Summers.

- Agent Bellows.

- How you doin'?

- Just peachy.

The HAZMAT team

has contained the spill...

but half the town has been exposed.

- Any word on the contents?

- Nothing yet.

A quarantine's ordered until we find out

what's brewing in that cola plant.

- This the only access into town?

- Yep.

I want a roadblock between

the town and the accident.

I want another one at the access

from the highway.

Nobody gets in or out until

we know exactly what we're dealing with.

Do not answer questions.

You know nothing. Now get on it.

Howdy, I'm Sheriff Jackson.

Welcome to Baxter.

Anything you need,

just let us know.

Cooperation from you and your people

and the town. That'll do.

You got it. You can count on it.

This is Detective...

Where's my car?

Not the friendliest man.

Just doing his job.

I'm sure he's fine.

- I'm Keeler.

- Agent Summers. How you doing?

I'm coordinating the investigation

with the EPA.

- I'd like to go over a few things.

- Lead the way.

How long till they know

what killed him?

At least 24 hours.

Maybe longer. 48 even.

Looks like you're

gonna be staying a while.

- Welcome to Baxter.

- Thank you.

Is there a place

we can stay in town?

- There was, but it closed down.

- Dad, we can't stay here.

I have a huge audition tomorrow.

I can't miss this.

We don't have any choice.

- There's plenty of room at my place.

- Houseguests!

Come on, Skye.

Come on. Don't worry.

The house isn't haunted.

We have confirmation

that FBI agents...

have been sent into Baxter

to evaluate the situation.

The Environmental

Protection Agency...

was also called to the scene.

We still have no word

on the exact contents of the tanker.

Eye witnesses have said

the truck was on its way...

to the Empire Cola plant

just outside of Baxter.

A quarantine is still in effect

for the area.

No! They're not letting us leave.

Our hearts are with everybody in Baxter

and our fingers are crossed.

We hope the worst has passed.

Somebody has to do something.

You're my agent! Can't...

Can't you call the FBI

and tell them who I am?

- She's talking to her agent.

- Big whoopie.

Maybe Bobby can patch in my publicist.

Maybe we can make this work for us.

Come on, guys, really,

do you think we're contaminated?

I don't know what

it's supposed to feel like.

It's not like we were covered

in that sh*t like the driver.

We inhaled it.

- What will they do to us?

- They won't do anything to us.

As long as they don't

give me a shot, I'm okay.

It's just a vitamin booster.

Strengthens the immune system.

It won't hurt.

Is that a fresh needle?

They found that one in the trunk

of a drug addict's car.

Nice mask.

My uncle used it in Desert Storm.

We need everyone...

to boil their water

before consuming it.

Just a safety precaution.

Can't believe they gave us

Snoopy Band-Aids.

Think that's supposed

to cheer us up?

- I can't even leave the town.
