What? Oh God, not now!

[radio static]

Oh for the love of God.

Alright.

What did I do this time,

Lord?

[dramatic music]

Aargh!!!!!!

[saw buzzing]

I'm still waiting to hear

how it went with Amanda.

I told you.

I don't want

to talk about it.

Did she say how long

she was here for?

Not very long.

Look I put aside a little money

for Greg Oropolous.

Greg Oropolous?

What for?

As a finders fee.

He didn't find it,

we found it!

Yeah I know we found it,

but we found it on his land.

You're right Jake.

Poor guy's been having

a harder time than us.

That's why you're

the big bro.

Whatever.

Sarcastic.

Don't burn the place down.

I'll just keep working.

I doubt that.

[car engine starting]

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

You okay?

What happened?

I think so.

Somebody knocked me out

and stole my statue.

What?

How could someone have taken

the statue?

Well you can see it's gone,

can't you?

Alright, come on,

let's get you inside,

we'll call the Sheriff.

You alright?

[whistling and singing to himself]

Alright.

About time we got

a little action.

Pow!

Watch out man.

Only in Redeemer.

Sheriff, come in.

Well I hope you've got

something exciting

because this is

turning out to be

one very boring Saturday night.

I just received a call from

Earl up at the scrap yard.

Well, better than nothing.

What is it this time, kids

throwing fire crackers

in his yard?

No sir, someone stole

one of his metal sculptures.

[chuckles]

Who would want to steal

something made of junk?

Did you get a description

of the thief?

No sir.

Says they knocked him out cold

before he could see who it was.

Uh huh.

Really.

What does this sculpture

look like?

He says it's 17 feet tall

and weighs about a ton.

[laughs]

a ton,

you need a tractor trailer

to steal something that big.

I imagine so, Sheriff.

Uh huh.

Well I guess we best keep our

eyes peeled for large vehicles

moving through town, huh?

Copy that sir.

This is a bad idea, Grandpa.

Those thieves couldn't have

gotten very far.

There's only one road

out of this town

and if we move fast

we can catch them.

I just really think you should

let the Sheriff handle it.

That flat foot can't even

handle an old lady.

Now lets go get

the bastards!!!!!!!

No, no, you

need to calm down.

Okay, take a breath,

have a seat,

I'll get you a beer

or something.

Are you chickening out

on me, son?

No, no, I'm not.

I just think we should

wait for the Sheriff.

Alright.

I'll catch the bastards

myself.

Grandpa.

They're long gone.

Hi Ethan.

Amanda Spelling,

I haven't seen you in ages.

You look the same

as when I left.

You haven't aged a bit.

Still got your baby face.

You're still just as pretty.

I hear you're some smarty

pants Science teacher.

You could say that.

I came by to see Jake,

is he around?

You just missed him.

He should be back soon,

if you want to wait.

I could get you something

to drink.

I'm sure he'd love

to see you.

No, it's alright, I have

to get back to my Aunts.

You should have seen his

fe when he saw you today.

Like he'd seen a ghost.

Poor guy, I came

to apologize.

Apologize for what?

I could have been nicer.

Seeing your high school

sweetheart after 16 years

when you're going

through a nasty divorce

is not the best timing.

Don't worry about it.

He knows you're going

through a tough time.

Will you tell him that I'll try

to stop by before I leave?

Will do.

Hey, either of you boys

married yet?

Not me, I still got

wild oats to sow,

I don't know what

Jakes problem is.

He hasn't had a

long-term relationship

with anyone but you.

I think you're the only girl

he's ever liked.

Steve!

Steve, it's Jake Hampton,

you around?

I got something for you.

Hey Steve.

Steve?

Steve?

[knocking]

It's Jake Hampton, you home?

[dramatic music]

[crash]

[dramatic music]

Raargh!!

[dramatic music]

Hey Ethan, what's up

with the lights?

Hey!

[dramatic music heightens]

Ethan!

[dramatic music heightens]

Ethan?

Ethan?

Ethan?

Oh no, no, no, no, Ethan?

Ethan?

[dramatic music]

What the?

[dramatic music]

[static radio]

Sheriff, come in.

[whistling]

Sheriff, are you there?

[whistling]

Bill, do you copy?

What's up honey bunny?

I just got a call

from Jake Hampton,

his brother's been killed.

What?

Ethan? How?

Jake says that Ethan was

killed by Earl's statue.

Very funny,

let me guess the Hampton boys

are playing a practical joke?

Those boys and pranks.

It's not a prank, Bill.

Jake swears that he saw

it with his own eyes

and he gave the same

description that Earl did.

Alright, on my way.

I hate this place.

[light knock]

You're still up?

It's not my fault, the internet

here is the worst.

I finally just got my emails

open now.

Okay, come on, shut it down

now sweetie.

You can read them

in the morning.

I want to finish writing

back to Daddy first.

Okay.

it's lights out, deal?

Why can't you and Daddy

just make up?

Because we just can't.

Not this time.

Yeah.

Night Claire.

Good night Mom.

[dramatic music]

Oh come on.

[dramatic music]

Oh my God.

Mom!

Are you okay?

Are we having

an earthquake?

[screams]

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Auntie Beth!

[screams]

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

[sirens wailing]

What's going on, Jake?

My brothers dead.

I'm so sorry.

Woah, Ethan.

Jenny come in.

Jenny come in.

Go ahead Sheriff.

Wake the coroner and tell

him to get his butt

down to Jake's place pronto.

Is it Ethan?

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

Oh my God, who would want

to kill Ethan?

I don't know, I don't

think this is a homicide.

It looks like he got awfully

sick from something.

Okay I'm calling the coroner

right now.

Is she?

How?

What happened?

I don't know.

Looks like some kind of

allergic reaction to something.

[crash]

[loud screams]

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dramatic music]

What was that thing?

I don't know!

[dramatic music]

[engine attempting to turn over]

The car won't start!

Hurry Mom!

[engine starting]

Oh my God.

[sobbing]

Oh my God,

what was that Mom?

I don't know, you okay?

[sobbing]

I want to go home now!

We will baby, I want to

go to the Sheriff's first.

Okay?

Okay.

[sobbing]

Where's my Golem?

Crazy son of a

b*tch that thing -

Take it easy!

Take it easy!!!!

What are you talking about?

That thing!

That thing that you built

just killed my brother!

That's crazy talk!

Ethan's dead.

And it ain't pretty.

Is Ethan really dead?

Yeah Earl.

You better stop that machine

before it kills someone else.

It's not a machine, Jake,

it's a statue

and somebody stole it.

That's a load of crap Earl!

Look Jake, I'm sorry,

I'm truly sorry about Ethan.

You know I love him but

I'm not a rocket scientist,

I couldn't build a machine,

I don't even have a

high school diploma.

You're lying!

I know you're lying because

I know what I saw!

You're seriously telling me

that you saw my Golem

walking around on its

own two feet all by itself?

Yes, I saw your thing

walking around

on its legs by itself.
