Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?!

Yeah.

- Ed, do you understand?

- Yeah.

Terry, you're not even going

to talk to your wife about this.

If anybody asks us anything,

we're going to keep our mouths shut.

- Peg knows, right?

- She knows.

I didn't sign up

just to walk kids across the street.

You signed up

to serve these people

and to protect these people.

And this kind of thing...

they don't want to know about it.

Sheriff, has there ever been

a murder in this town?

Never.

We'll do the autopsy

in Provo.

She'll be there a few more days,

if you want another look at her.

Great.

Thanks, Ryan.

We're not stepping

on any toes, are we?

Apparently, I'm taking orders

from those two today.

It's all right.

It's fine.

Just take her.

Get her out of here.

All right then.

Hey, Ryan.

I'd appreciate it if the reporters

didn't get a hold of this.

- I'm not going to make

- If anybody calls...

If anybody calls,

I'll refer them to you.

Thanks.

Don't let those Feds

bully you around, Wes.

If I were you,

I'd keep my nose in this one.

(engine starts)

I think we have

everything we need here.

Do you guys mind waiting

for the tow truck to finish?

I'll stay.

Give us a call if there's

anything else we need to know.

Don't be surprised if you see us

around town the next few days.

Listen, I'd rather

you left that part to me.

Don't worry, Sheriff.

We'll keep a low profile.

All right.

You want me to bring some food?

Hot chocolate or something?

I'm just going

to wait for Ed.

He can give me a ride home

in the tow truck.

All right.

Something finally happens

around here...

you just pretend

it never did.

It'll all be over,

as soon as that car leaves town.

(engine starts)

(marching band playing)

(crowd cheering)

So it is

with great honor,

we have

gathered here today

to celebrate

one more year,

and to wish

our beautiful little city

Happy Birthday,

on this, the 1 38th anniversary

of its founding.

(beeps)

We love you,

Little Brigham!

(mild applause)

(wolf whistles)

Just be careful.

Watch where you're going.

Okay, go, go.

Guys...!

Kilo Two,

this is Dispatch.

Could you make sure

you look where you're going?

Peg on radio:

Terry, are you there?

Terry!

This is Kilo Two,

go ahead.

I'm getting calls

about an overflowing

irrigation ditch on 600 North.

What do you want me

to do about it? I'm busy.

I told them we'd get

somebody over there.

- Why can't they do it themselves?

- Because they're helpless.

I can't do it.

Where's Stu?

(old car horn honks)

(cheering)

Hey, boss.

You keeping this riot under control?

We're trying.

Have there been

any developments on that...
