It's not a machine, Jake,

it's a statue

and somebody stole it.

That's a load of crap Earl!

Look Jake, I'm sorry,

I'm truly sorry about Ethan.

You know I love him but

I'm not a rocket scientist,

I couldn't build a machine,

I don't even have a

high school diploma.

You're lying!

I know you're lying because

I know what I saw!

You're seriously telling me

that you saw my Golem

walking around on its

own two feet all by itself?

Yes, I saw your thing

walking around

on its legs by itself.

It shook the freaking

building.

And he ain't been

drinking Earl,

and it's a fact that something

very strange killed Ethan.

But where did it go?

I don't know where

it went Earl,

maybe it went back

to the scrap yard.

Alright fellas, settle down.

Here's the coroner.

We'll get to the bottom

of this.

I haven't seen anything

like this.

Every artery in his body

is distended.

Distended, what does

that mean, distended?

It's when an internal pressure

causes an artery to swell.

Caused by what?

It would have to be some kind of

an extreme bacterial infection.

Like that ecoli?

Yeah, I need

to do blood work.

You're saying poor Ethan

died from eating bad meat?

Are you kidding me?

Are you trying to blame Ethan's

death on a bad hamburger?

I saw what killed him, I saw

it with my own two eyes,

it wasn't a piece of meat.

Jake believes that his

brother was killed

by some kind of machine.

I see no external

injuries or bruises,

this man died of

internal causes.

Only a severe bacterial

infection could have done this.

This is ridiculous.

Jake, where you going?

I need to do an autopsy

right away.

If this man died of ecoli

we need to trace the source.

Alright then do it.

[dramatic music]

[knocking]

Hello?

[knocking]

Lets go check the bar,

come on.

[dramatic music]

Oh no no.

Jake.

What do you think

you're doing Jake?

What does it look like

I'm doing?

You think you're going to

hunt down some machine

you think you saw?

I'm not crazy Bill,

I know what I saw.

Alright then.

Do me a favour and leave

that rifle behind.

I have a permit.

I'm not breaking any laws.

But I just hate to see you doing

something you might regret.

Are you done?

[car engine starting]

[country music]

Alright, that's it,

last call.

It's closing time.

It ain't closing time.

Look around you Harry,

you see what I see?

A freaking empty bar

that's what.

No offense but

you're not exactly

the biggest spender in town.

I remember when your Pa used to

pack them in here every night

no matter what day

of the week it was.

Yes well, when times are

hard small towns like ours

that often get shafted.

Does anyone know where

the Sheriff is?
