-How much have you used?

-All of it.

That's why

I need to be resupplied.

You were given

a three-day supply.

When's the last time

you used?

-Last night.

-And you're already sore?

Is...

Is that it?

I don't want you

to overdo it.

I expect much better of you

from here on out.

Go make this right.

Have yourself a little party?

Mrs. kitner called

about a trespasser

sleeping in her shed.

Gonna need you

to stand up.

You hurt?

-What?

-I said are you injured?

-Guess not.

-You got any weapons or drugs on you?

You have the right

to remain silent.

Wanna tell me

whose blood that is?

What about

what was in that needle.

Gonna find out anyway,

son.

Drug test.

What am I gonna find

when I open that case?

Boy was stoned

out of his mind.

Come in, sheriff.

Go ahead, Pete.

We got a hell of a mess

over here.

I can't believe it.

Figure his cousin did it?

I do not know.

Seems likely,

if you ask me.

I didn't.

Thoughts, sheriff.

Yeah, I got a few.

Sheriff, come in.

Go ahead.

Got a call about a body.

Already there.

No, sheriff, you're not.

Figure they're connected?

Yeah, I do.

What're the odds

he was gonna off himself

and someone beat him

to the punch?

Sheriff?

Yeah, go ahead.

You're not gonna believe this,

but...

Think I found

the murder weapon.

I reckon you did.

- Sheriff?

-You gotta be f***in' kiddin' me.

We need you back

at the first one.

What's going on today?

Where is everyone?

Well, ma'am,

today's been a bit

of a shitstorm.

-Excuse my language.

-How so?

I don't want to alarm you,

but,

- a few people got murdered.

- My god.

I know

we're supposed to notify

family first and all,

but looks like one

of the bodies was someone

-who used to work for you.

-What?

Fellow by the name

of Ryan.

-Jeremy Ryan.

-Jeremy?

He left town days ago.

I wish that was true,

ma'am.

You know what?

He looks

a little familiar.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

He might've been

one of my guys at the plant.

You think I could speak

with him?

Ms. Walker,

I don't want to get

in any trouble,

and, you know,

I don't want to put you

-in harms way.

-Of course not.

I was just thinking

that maybe I could help.

You know, I have his file

and his resume.

That could be

useful information for you.

You make it quick and you

keep this between us, okay?

Our secret.

It's gonna be fine.

It'll be fine.

I'll be right outside

if you need me, ma'am.

Thank you.

Did you use any of it?

The syringe,

did you use any of it?

You have.

I can tell.

Do you have any idea

what that stuff will do

without proper treatment?

It's ugly.

Who are you?

I'm the person

who's gonna make this

a lot easier on you.
