Prosperity.

And it ain't going

to be this way forever.

1 0 years ago, I was living

in a trailer park.

Let's enjoy this

while we got it.

Growing pains,

that's all.

That's right.

Can't stay young forever.

Terry:
How much money

do you think Ralph makes?

What, in a year?

I don't know,

a couple hundred thousand.

Terry:
We're cops.

What are we doing being cops?

I got everything I need.

Real estate keeps going up.

I don't know if I'll ever be

able to buy anything.

Terry, I'm paying you

as much as I can.

I know that, Wes.

Just...

sometimes I think I ought to go

back to work for Ralph again,

you know,

learn how he does it.

I got to start putting

money away for my kids,

for their missions,

college.

Sure do miss her.

She was the only one who'd

listen to my missionary stories.

You want a minute?

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks.

Terry:

What's up?

Just some car.

I want to check this out.

Whoa.

Now that's a car.

Pop that glove box...

see if you can find my ticket book.

(bird squawking)

- (phone ringing)

- Sheriff's office.

- I need you to do something.

- Shoot.

Get Ryan Parker on the phone.

Have him meet me at the Evans homestead.

Tell him to come right away.

We got a signal seven.

- Okay. Will do.

- Give me the number...

- For the FBI office in Salt Lake.

- Roger.

Thanks.

What's a signal seven?

What the heck

is a signal seven?

That's a dead body.

I need you to go into town

and get Ed Gray.

We're going to need

his tow truck.

Look what

they did to her.

They didn't have

to leave her like that.

(flies buzzing)

(sirens wailing)

- Are you Wes Clayton?

- Sheriff Clayton, yes.

- Are you the one who found the body?

- Yes, I did.

Agent #2:
Have you identified

the victim?

No, that's an out-of-state car.

That's why I called you in.

- Okay, great. Thanks.

- Agent #2:
Don't go away.

- Sheriff?

- Hey, chief.

I never expected to make

a business trip to Brigham.

Oh, I know it.

(sirens wailing)

We can'tjust

let these guys in here.

We got to finish

our investigation.

We don't have

an investigation.

- Is that all right?

- That's great. Thanks.

That lady died in our town.

We got to take care of this.

We don't have to

take care of anything.

This doesn't have anything

to do with our town.

- What's going on?

- There's been a killing.

- It's California plates.

- Terry:
Wes...

That's an out-of-state vehicle.

We were just another exit ramp.

It could have

happened anywhere.

This is right

in our own back yard.

People don't even lock

their doors in our town.

I don't want them to start.

This doesn't have anything to do

with anybody in our town

except you and me.

That's where I want it to stop.
