I assure you, I'm as adept as

any accredited professional.

Hey, they're coach broke down.

They're gonna be spending the night here.

Bobby said he'd have it done

first thing in the morning.

A little warning

might have been nice.

Isn't that what this is?

We don't even have hot water.

So we'll give them a discount.

I've done a staggering amount

of research on the topics of forensic investigation.

And I rarely use Wikipedia,

unless I've taken the time to write the article myself.

Fine, knock yourself out.

Hey, guys, did Derek tell you

about the tree house?

Tree house?

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Mom, what are you doing?

Derek, the house is already

clean, I just want to keep it that way.

Fine.

You owe me one.

This is awesome.

So, who built it?

It's one of Grandpa's projects.

Oh, the one who died?

So, when was it built?

We built most of it

when I came to visit.

He added the roof, but

otherwise, it's just like we left it.

Does he build a lot of stuff

like this?

You name it, he built it.

Cabinetry, furniture,

decorative art.

Half the house.

Never stopped.

Always onto something new.

Wait, he sounds

like a really cool guy.

A man who, after his death,

is still shrouded in mysteries.

He was not shrouded

in mystery, okay?

He was just a normal guy,

who lived a normal life...

and made an awesome tree house.

I'm sick of everyone trying to

turn him into some kind of--

Kook? Loony? Wacko, weirdo,

madman, crazy guy, crackpot-

What is your problem?

I should clarify, I don't

think he was crazy...

and you obviously don't

think he was crazy...

but apparently some people do.

If anyone can set the record

straight, it's you.

If you'll help me write this

book, together we can tell the true story of James Morton.

Plus, we can do a 50-50 split

of the profits when the book hits the market.

It's definitely a code.

There are repeating patterns

throughout, but they don't make any English words.

And what does it mean by you

can use my Remington?

Maybe wants you

to shoot somebody?

What's the other note say?

It's all in my plans.

What's in his plans?

Have you tried finding

the Remington?

Yeah, but I don't know what

it looks like or where he would have kept it.

Maybe it's in here.

I already looked there, guys.

Cool.

Theoretical Physics?

Bio-electrical Impulse and Photon Transfer?

Photon Mass and Charged Particle

Manipulation?

I thought your Grandpa

was a woodworker.

He was...

Why would a woodworker want

books like these?

"Property of Virgil Logan,

Willow Wood Library."

I say we ask the librarian.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(MUSIC CHANGES)

Hello?

Sir?

Mr. Logan?

Mr. Logan!

Ssh.

I'm right here.
