- We've got a serious

problem down at

Star Club on second.

We need you to

get down there quick.

I'm on my way.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

Just gotta go.

Uh.

What happened?

Were you in a fight?

Jesse.

I thought maybe you

were done with all that.

Look, I am.

This isn't

what you think.

Then what is it?

You should go home.

Your uncle,

he's going to be

looking for me.

I'll get you some of my

dad's things to wear.

Thanks.

In the morning-

you need to go.

She was one of my best friends.

I'm very sorry.

Thank you.

Sam.

You're sure

it was Scott Miller

they saw running

out of here?

Hello?

Jess?

Uncle Ty.

Is everything okay?

I'm fine.

Have you seen

Scotty Miller tonight?

No, I haven't seen him

since this afternoon.

Why, what happened?

Nothing, sweetheart.

You just go back to sleep.

- Scott.

- Oh, thank God.

What's the matter

with you?

It's a nightmare.

Look, Jesse.

Jesse.

Look, all that matters

is you're okay.

I mean, if anything

happened to you, I-

And another puzzling

death in Harborford.

The victim has

been identified

as Lydia Mason,

a student at Sherwood

College in Harborford.

Mason's attacker is

as of yet unidentified.

Local sheriff Ty Durst

was tight-lipped

at the scene

this morning.

The investigation

is underway.

We have a few

eyewitnesses

and a suspect.

And that's all I've got

to say. That's all I've-

Anything else?

No, I can't.

Yeah, I'll hold.

Come on. Step aside.

Come on.

Jess, I know

how this looks.

- Were you there?

- I was.

You've got to let me

explain, though.

I saw him,

the fireman

at the arena.

Hi, this is

Jesse Jarrett.

I'd like to talk

to Sheriff Durst

right away, please.

I didn't hurt her.

She just disintegrated

in front of me.

Her eyes

were almost black,

full of blood.

You need help.

She must have

caught it from him.

It could be some

kind of disease

or a poison.

Look, I'm going to

figure this out.

- I just need some time.

- Please hurry.

Okay, Jesse,

you know me

better than anyone.

If I had done this thing,

would I still be here?

Hello?

Ty?

Jesse? I'm at

your front door.

Jesse, you all right?

I'm fine.

Good, good.

You see the news?

Scotty Miller's in serious

trouble, sweetheart.

Do you know where he is?

Jess?

You feeling okay?

- Scott-

- I know, I know.

I know, sweetheart.

Just...

relax, okay?

Just hold on.

Let's go sit down,

sweetheart.

Okay?

Sweetheart, I don't

think you understand

the level of depravity

in the Miller family.

Now, your great-uncle Cyrus,

he busted the first Miller

bootlegging operation

right off of this coast.

Scott's old man Lucky?

Well,

he's just as bad.
