Yeah, 'cause you're not

that kind of guy.

Nah, that's not me.

All right, what about this other guy

I keep hearing about

that you hang out with,

this white guy with the tattoos?

What's his name?

What's his name?

Rule.

Rule Valley.

His name is Rule Valley.

- Stay close, all right?

- You know where I'm at.

Oh, my God!

No, no!

No, no!

No, no, no!

No!

No! God!

No!

Hey, come here.

Help me.

A man-- a man in my house.

- Is he still there?

- No. No, he's- he's outside.

Is your address 3214 Collin Avenue?

Yes. And my baby-

Ma'am, put the baby down...

- Brian.

- ...and secure all doors and windows.

- Police are on the way.

- Okay.

Ma'am, do you hear me?

...under attack at this time.

Unknown male assailant.

Oh, no! Ah!

Ma'am? Ma'am, hang on.

- The police are on their way.

- Help me! Help me!

Okay, come on.

I'm making a quick path

through the main room and crossing.

- I may just head off in there.

- 10-4.

What have we got?

He's got to be nearby.

Check this out.

The bag over there

and the street clothes.

Okay, I'll go get K-9 unit.

Leave that bag.

heading northwest of your location.

- Rawls, Rawls!

- I got him!

- You okay?

- I can't breathe.

We need medical assistance...

I'm telling you,

I was right on that guy's tail.

It was like I got jumped

by two guys.

They find my gun?

No, not yet.

You ready?

You recognize any of this?

Ah. Sorry.

Don't touch.

Just point, okay?

Those are mine.

They were on my clothesline.

That's probably

how he chose you, okay?

He saw your clothes

on that line.

You remember anybody

hanging around your neighborhood,

around your house,

your street, at the mall?

No.

There were two of them.

Say what?

Someone was outside.

Is this your office?

Mm-hmm.

Who can we expect to catch in here?

- Mommy might have to go get Grandma.

- Why?

Well, Grandma and I are gonna

go catch that bad man.

- Why?

- Because the policemen

want to sit in their office

instead of being on the street

looking for the criminal.

Look, I know it's late.

We just need a full description

and a statement.

- That's it.

- See...

- Detective Souder, line 2.

- ...this is probably how he chose you.

Okay? He saw your clothing-

No! No!

- Come with me.

- Brian.

Okay.

Officer, you take them

into my office right now.

And get Jim Roson.

You call him at home if you have to.

Notify County.

No, please stop!

Please stop!

Can you hear that?

I didn't pray for this girl

while it was happening.

I listened to her die,

and it was--

it was like I forgot or something.

You ever wonder why we're here?

Why Texas City?

Well, I know why you're here.

What if I can'! stop this one, either?

You ain't gonna like this.

No, please stop! Please stop!

Can you track specifically

where the call originated from?

Yeah, I'm trying, Brian,

but the guy that called you

and your partner last night-

Yeah?

He did it from an area

where we get almost no coverage-

all along those bayous

outside Texas City.

- The killing fields?

- Yeah.

You get a connection,

you walk 10 feet and it disappears,

no matter what we try to do.

We gotta bring in

outside construction contractors

'cause our local people

won't go in there.

Why not?

Even the Indians who got pushed

in there in the 19th century

turned to cannibalism.

It's-- it's-- I don't know.

It's infected or something.

All right, just keep trying, okay?

Just keep trying.

- I'm gonna do everything I can.

- Thanks, Jim.

I thought you went to hell

if you worked on Sunday.

I needed to get a newspaper.

What are you doing here?

When you go to church,

you don't pray for me, right?

No, I pray for you.

- Don't do it no more.

- Why not?

'Cause everyone you pray for

ends up f***in' dead.

Oh, am I allowed

to say "f***" in front of him?

Actually, that one's dead.

That's what I'm talking about.

Mike, what's up?

I need subscribers.

That's all the information.

- Today?

- Yes, please.

You brought her in

on a Sunday?

That's Pam's rich kid's

cell phone numbers.

ls the new pope the one

that don'! like fags?

What's going on

with the phone, Mike?

Okay.

'Cause you're from New York,

I will now try to educate you

about round here.

I got an idea- why don't you go home

and aggravate your dog?

I don't know if that Laine girl

is alive or dead.

If she is in the fields,

then she is as good as gone.

And it don't matter

her family,

money, newspaper people,

detectives,

or how much you want to pray...

half of her is probably

back in the food chain.

You have her picture?

This is Us-.

Texas City, Debbie Mills.

One dead girl,

one unsolved.

This is them-

Clark County, the fields.

It's not our jurisdiction.

- What?

- Hey, that's enough now.

I told you to stay out

when I got the company, baby.

Now, come on.

Come on.

You just get your stuff

and get out of here.

Now.

- F*** you, Russell!

- Hey, what's going on?

I don't know.

One of Mama's boyfriends.

Oh, sh*t.

Where you going, ladybug?

# Ladybug, ladybug,

fly away home #

# The house is on fire

and the kids are all gone. #

Ladybug

- $5.50.

- All right.

Wait.

$7.25.

Thank you.

A pack of Reds in the box.

Dad!

Hey, guys.

Sean, this is Anne.

Anne, this is my kids.

This is Coryn.

That's Grandma over there.

- Where's your mom, guys?

- Inside.

Mom, Dad's home!

- Who's this?

- This is Anne.

Anne, this is my wife Gwen.

This is for you.

Well, thank you very much.

Come on.

Everybody come on in.

Pass the plates, Mom.

One more meatloaf coming up.

This is our Sunday tradition.

You got it, Mama?

For over 100 years,

ever since the war.

Not today, not today, not today.

- Here's some mashed potatoes.

- You take some of that.

That's right, hooves,

or it can chews the 'could.'

My question is, "What is the could?"

Everybody get this.

- What is the could?

- The could.

Hold on, I'll get the phone.

Hello?

Honey, it's Pam.

- It's okay. I'll take her home.

- Mommy.

You good?

I'll be right back, okay?

You doin' all right, son?

The boy found the body

when he was walking his dog.

I left a message for Mike

on his cell phone.

Yep, left about 15 messages.

- Haven't heard from him?

- I learned on our honeymoon,

never call Mike after 2:00

in the afternoon on a weekend.

This ain't good, Bri.

- Is it Kirsten Laine?

- Yeah, it is.

They took her hands.

Her dress is buttoned up wrong.

Somebody put that dress

back on her.

You see the cause of death?

Not yet.

We got to get her out of here.

I got something here.

Pam, I got a print.

Damn it.

Ugh!

Come on.

Pull her out.

God damn it!

Good. You got it?

You still got it?

Oh, God!

- No. Damn it! Damn it.

- God!

Here, here.

God damn.

Here.

Why don't you answer your phone

once in a while, Detective?

You got 30 cops,

you got feds,

a f***in' helicopter, you got

my f***in' partner part time!

What the hell else you want?

I pulled Levon's rap sheet.

You get a chance to read it?

Huh?

You got rape, kidnapping, assault.
