( Knocking on door )

What're you doing?

You scared me.

I just decided to

havesome dessert outside,

watch the moon come up.

Becky, I really wishthat you

wouldn't go outthis late at night,

not when there'sthat

crazy guyrunning around.

It's a scary situation.

Do you ever get scared?

Yeah, every day.

Hey, look,

what happenedto the Miller

familywas terrible,

and I knowthat you're worried,

but they're gonnacatch this guy

and they're gonnaput him away

so that he can't

hurtanyone else.

But in the meantime, will you just

promise methat you'll stay close

so that me and Grandmadon't

have to keep worrying?

Are you going back?

You know what? It's late.

I think we shouldtalk

about it...

I heard you guys talking.

I know it's timefor

you to reenlist.

They gave mea little extra time

becauseof Grandma's heart attack.

- So...- What're you gonna do?

Honey, they reallyneed

me over there.

And we need you here.

( Horse whinnying )

Elizabeth, you know the

Millersas well as anyone.

Had theytalked to you lately

about people making threats,

anything like that?

No, not at all.

But, you know, they're

not much for talking.

Well, Levi's alibi checked out.

He was at the

blacksmithwhen it happened.

You couldn't possiblythink

that Levi...

No, but we haveto

check everyone.

And speaking of which,

is Becky home yet?

We'd liketo speak to her

as wellif you don't mind.

She's still at school.

I'll have oneof my deputies

swing byin the next day or so.

Whatever we can

doto help, Sheriff.

Any luck tracking downthat

Owen Peterson guy?

No, but I wantedto

mention something.

It rained the night

before the murder,

and we foundsome

muddy footprints

which I believebelong

to our killer.

Where?

In the fieldbehind

your property.

We're constantlypatrolling

that area,

but keep your doors locked.

Okay.

Did Becky say which friend

she was studying

withafter school?

She's doinga project with Lilly.

She said she'dbe

home for dinner.

All right.

Voicemail:
Hi, it's Becky.

Leave a message.

- I'll get back to you.

- Hey, it's me.

Just wonderingif you're on

your wayhome for dinner.

Give me a call.

( Whimpering )

( gasps )

Hey, buddy. Are you lost?

Now I know whyBecky's been

sneakingfood out here, huh?

Whew. You scared me.

So, you've met.

Yeah, maybe we should

call the shelter and, uh,

see if anyone'slooking for him.

Already did. He's

officially homeless.

You missed dinner.

I left a couple of messages.

Yeah, I turned off my

phoneso I could study.

Look, Becky, this is exactly

whatl was talking about,

about stayingin close touch.

We didn't knowwhere you were.

I'm not a kid anymore, Grace.
