She's not that special.

Who's this girl, Deputy?

No one, sir.

Just a girl.

She was suppose to work this morning.

She's never late.

Probably texted her a dozen times.

Nice to meet you, Sheriff.

Same here.

KIM:
Hello, boys.

You know Sheriff.

Yeah?

I'd like to go check in on Jamie.

You know just to make

sure everything's okay.

She's not the type of girl

to miss work without calling.

Go ahead Deputy but I'm sure she's fine.

You know the whole reason

I moved to this town?

No.

The slow down, go fishing.

Be in a town where

nothing ever happens and

people only die of old age.

Well you picked the right place then.

Yeah I'm sure she's fine, you go ahead.

Make sure you check in.

Yes, sir.

(eerie music)

(engine racing)

(tires screeching)

You okay, kid?

Yeah, yeah.

BOY:
You could've

been road kill.

Oh shut up.

You just watch yourself, Jeter.

Hey.

What can I do for you, Sheriff?

What's your name?

MAN:
My name?

Yeah.

Travis Beecher.

Travis?

Watch where you're going there.

You almost hit these kids.

What kids?

You don't kill anybody

on my shift you got it?

Okay.

Whatever you say, Sheriff.

Here you go boys.

Don't be strangers.

Hey there, girly.

Hey.

What you doing flirting

with all these fella's

when you know I'm here.

You know you're the only guy for me.

Good.

Come on grab your stuff

let's get out of here.

I have to be here all day now

that Jamie didn't show up.

Oh come on baby this place is dead.

Everyone who's anyone is

coming back to my place.

I thought you guys weren't

leaving till' the afternoon.

Don't you wanna get there early.

Of course I do but not all of

us have big jobs in the city,

some of us have to work a

whole shift to earn a living.

Oh come on.

How much do you need?

Don't treat me like that.

What? Come on I'm sorry.

Alright I didn't mean that.

Hey.

I'm Travis.

Yeah, I know.

Really?

Yeah I'm here every summer.

Carrie?

Or Jenny?

Jenny it is.

KIM:
Are you kidding me?

What?

I was just

being friendly here to our neighbor.

Melody.

Melody.

Right.

Oh come on, baby.

You know you're the only girl for me.

Better be.

Six o'clock.

So do you fish?

Sometimes.

Really?

You should come out this weekend,

we're going to Beecher's Island.

We're gonna be doing lots of fishing.

Really?

Yeah.

Thanks, maybe I will.

So um.

See you at six.

You know I didn't mean anything by that.

Just remember who your girlfriend is.

How could I forget?

Ran into your granddaughter

Melody at the store.

Yeah, she looks different.

I'm sure she'll make

friends this summer.

That girl can be so mean.

Yeah.

Yeah.

(water splashing)

Stupid summer people, give me a break.
