Pray for Rain Page #2

Synopsis: When Emma Gardner, a whip smart NYC reporter learns of her father's untimely death, she returns to her home town to find that the idyllic farming community of her childhood has been ravaged by drought and has become a place tormented by gangs and the ill effects of extreme poverty. She quickly figures out that her dad's accidental death was not accidental at all. The lists of possible suspects include overly zealous environmentalists, a local war lord and other farmers jealous of her father's outstanding reputation.

Open your eyes.

Open your eyes!

You're in the wrong place, lady.

You say anything to anyone

about us being here tonight...

And this will be the last face

you'll ever see.

Emma hey, Steph, it's Emma.

Look, something's come up and

I'm gonna have to stay here...

Until the end of the week.

I'll see you Monday.

Damn it, Emma! Wear a helmet!

They cut my irrigation hose...

All of them.

I'm so sorry... who's they?

We call them... bad men.

They have no work, so they

make trouble.

Nico is the only one sheriff

in town. They take advantage.

Mr. Nguygen, do you...

Do you think my dad could've

come across some of these men?

The day he died?

You mean, did they kill him? No.

They kill you in the face. Boom!

Just like that, they don't care.

Well, what do you want

to do now?

I, uh... will sell my farm, too.

I want to see my homeland

one more time.

Be buried with my family.

Patrick waring has been pushing

us all to sell.

I will tell him yes today.

See, before, that field had

trees full of these...

Full of these.

When the wind blew...

You picked them off the ground

with two hands.

Now, nothing grows.

Enjoy it, Emma... while you can.

You can't steal water from your

neighbor, Ana Sofia.

The city is behind on refilling

your tank, you're just gonna...

Have to go to town to get water,

like everybody else.

Now, I'm not gonna arrest you

this time...

But please, don't let there

be a next.

I've had to put people

away for this.

Sheriff Nico, that'll take some

getting used to!

I remember running away from

sheriff Cooper on our dirtbikes.

I'm only the sheriff

because he ran off...

And no one else wanted the job.

I might still race dirt bikes

with you.

How you doin'?

I had uh, no idea everything

was so bad.

Yeah, well, you've been gone

a long time, em.

Dispatch said you were looking

for me, what's in your craw?

Look, I know this might sound

crazy, but...

Do you think someone

could have killed my dad?

Could have? Sure. I mean,

I considered that.

But nothing pointed to anything

other than an accident.

Your mother said he was out

scouting a well.

Tractor must have stalled,

he slid under it to fix it...

It restarted and pinned

him down.

Yeah, but he never would have

taken a tractor down...

To Dylan's ditch.

Emma, his blood alcohol level

was through the roof.

I had to beg the coroner not

to include it on the report.

That's impossible. Dad never

drank.

Well, like I said, you've been

gone a long time.

Did he ever show you this?

I found it in his office.

I don't know, could you run

some DNA...

Or fingerprints on the envelope?

We can send it out.

It'll take a while.

Your dad, he rattled some cages,
