lots more, and I need it.

I don't care if I have to level

these hills with dynamite,

or use 10 men with pickaxes

and a caged canary.

I'm going to get that vein

my ancestors abandoned.

Now, I know you work

for a federal agency

and you've got the authority

to shut me down,

but you don't want to do that,

darling.

- I don't?

- Why don't we

step into my office

so we can discuss

the particulars?

- I like the particulars.

- Right this way.

- Fancy.

- Mm-hmm.

- We've got some seriously

unfinished business, you know?

- Mm-hmm.

- Tomorrow night, at the mine,

you and me?

- Are Rick and Tracy

gonna come?

- What I've got in mind

only requires two people.

Get some beer.

- Where am I gonna get beer?

- I'm sure you can

figure it out.

So you bring the beer...

- Mm-hmm.

- And I'll bring--

[WHISPERS]

- Deal!

Yeah, I can bring beer

to the mine.

[LAUGHS]

Bye, baby.

- I'm so glad we were able

to come to an agreement, Eve.

- [LAUGHING]

Just try to keep a low profile.

- Will do.

Don't take this

the wrong way, darling,

but I hope

I never see you again.

- Feeling's mutual, Billy.

- Hey, Tracy.

- Hey.

- I thought you were

going to the mall with Rick.

- Don't get me started.

I'm grounded indefinitely.

- Why?

- I have no idea.

Thinks she's some kind of

tiger grandma or something.

She demanded that I come

right home from school

and she won't

let me go anywhere.

I can't stand to be in the house

with her sometimes.

- Hey, Tracy--

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

- [ARGUING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[SIGHS]

- That didn't sound good.

What's going on?

- Dragon lady's crazy,

that's what.

She's been acting weird

all morning,

and talking

all sorts of nonsense.

I'm just waiting here

for Teresa to get home.

Maybe she can talk

some sense into her.

Speak of the devil.

[SIGHS]

- Hey, girls.

Oh, man.

I know that look.

- She grounded me

for no reason, Teresa.

You've got to talk her.

She won't listen to me.

- You two have got to start

getting along.

I've been working all day

and the last thing I need

is to come home

and to be a buffer for you!

All right.

All right, all right, all right.

Let me go change,

and we'll see

if we can get

to the bottom of this, okay?

Let's go.

- Hey, see you at school

tomorrow?

- If she lets me

go to school.

[HORN HONKING]

- What now?

Mac, crane, to what

do I owe this pleasure?

- I'm sorry to bother you,

but we got a call

from deke Jensen's wife.

Seems he and Tommy felks

went out last night,

never came home.

- So why you bugging me?

- 'Cause Todd and I

came across deke's truck

out on old mine road,

right outside

that nice fence you put up.

- Well, I haven't seen 'em,

but if I do,

I'll be sure

to give you a call

to arrest them

for trespassing.

- Billy, Billy, look, I know

this is your property,

but people around here

consider that mine public land.

Kids been drinking

and partying at that cave

since I was drinking

and partying out there,

and without a complaint.

Can't expect them to just stop

because you put up some signs.

- Oh, I think I can,

and I expect you to enforce it.

- Fine.

This is just a courtesy visit

to let you know

Todd and I are gonna be

taking a look around, okay?

- Suit yourself.

You find those two yahoos

passed out somewhere on my land,

let them know I fully intend

to press charges, you hear?

[CREATURE GROWLING]

- [SCREAMING]

[WHIMPERING]

[CREATURE GROWLING,

SPEAKING INCOMPREHENSIBLY]

- [WHIMPERING, SCREAMING]

[CREATURE GROWLING,

MUMBLING]

- [SCREAMING]

Get away!

Get away!

[SCREAMING]

[CHOKING]

- What was that?

- Is he okay?

- You blasting over there today?

- No, no, I'm not.

- Well, we'll check it out,

and we'll keep you posted.

- You know where to find me.

- Unfortunately.

- Great.

- Well, this is way beyond

any car accident I've ever seen.

- What're you saying?

- What I'm saying is,

while the smoke inhalation and

burns were enough to kill her,

she was already dead

well before that,

and if she was

still strapped in,

there's practically no way

her head could get

twisted around like that.

Her spinal cord's

been completely severed.

She's in worse shape

than the car she crashed in.

Hold on,

there's another one.

- Come on, son,

get a hold of yourself.

Man up.

[JEWELRY CLANGING]

- What is that?

- I think it's gold.

- Gold?

- Sheriff, you might have

a homicide on your hands.

- Oh, ho, ho, no way.

This woman

was a federal employee.

I do not need

that kind of publicity.

- I get it.

This is only

a preliminary diagnosis.

I'm not ready to sign

the certificate just yet.

- Well, you better make sure

you dot all your t's

and cross your I's

before you determine

cause of death.

[JEWELRY CLATTERING]

- Sorry, sorry.

- Gold.

I gotta make a call.

Stupid.

- Hey, Todd, you okay?

- I can't help it.

When I start to feel stress,

I sweat.

I freeze up a little bit.

I can't control my nerves,

you know?

- Then it's a good thing

you became a cop,

no stress there.

- Yeah.

[LAUGHS]

Right, yeah.

- Are you up for

a session tonight?

- Yeah, sure.

I mean, you've had

a busy day, and...

- No, no, it's not a problem.

It's just as relaxing

for me as it is for you.

- Okay, then.

- Yeah.

- I'll see you later.

- Okay.

- Let's go, Todd.

We got work to do.

- Okay,

yep, yep, yep, yep.

- Leave that.

[SIGHS]

- This is yours.

- Thanks.

- So, what's the verdict?

Did Teresa

save the day or what?

- I'm still on lockdown.

Teresa got called

back to the hospital

before she could even

put her purse down,

and grandma's

still acting all crazy.

- Mace and I are going

to the spot tomorrow.

- Can Rick and I come?

- Yeah, of course.

- Grandma hates

that I'm dating a guelo,

not like there's a lot

of cute Chinese guys

to choose from

around here.

- Well, I don't want to

get you into trouble.

- Apparently

I'm already in trouble.

- Oh, my brother's here.

I gotta go.

- Veronica?

- Come on in.

- Hey.

- No offense,

but you look like crap.

- I feel like crap.

Ah, did you get dinner?

- Mm-hmm,

leftovers, again.

- Ooh, sorry about that.

I will make that up to you.

Hey, I was gonna go over

to Teresa's house.

She's gonna help me

with my stupid panic attacks.

Is that cool?

- Sure you're not just

using that as an excuse

to spend time with her?

I think you might

just be into her.

- Um, it's purely

a professional...

Anyway, good talk,

and I will let you

get back to your homework.

It smells good in here.

- Mm-hmm.

- One more thing--

this.

What did I tell you

about these, huh?

It's a nasty habit,

not allowed.

- Hey, those are mine.

- Well, I'm sorry,

I don't like to be in the

position of being your parent

any more than you do,

but somebody's got to

look out for you.

What would mom say

if she caught you with these?

- She'd say

they belonged to her,

take them

and smoke them herself.

- Probably.

- I wish she was still here.

- Well, hey, I'll say
