All good. No one's home.

Let's see what's up.

Shall we?

In and out.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Have you been out to Route 22?

- Not yet.

Anything from the neighborhood?

No one saw anything at all.

Can you believe this?

What do you think happened...

our guy chase the boy in here?

I think he was already in here.

I think the boy came in,

surprised him, went for the phone.

Then he hit him once

in the back of the head.

Are you done with the kid?

The mother's a widow, you know,

a local bigwig at County.

- A deputy?

- No, the County Board

- of Commissioners.

- Right.

Did you say

the phone line was cut?

Yeah.

So our guy not only misreads

the house as empty,

but he cracks a kid's skull

for going for a phone

that he knows is cut.

A different he maybe.

Listen, I talked to the assistant DA

in the sheriff's office.

They're gonna assign

another detective to work with you,

assist you.

This is our town, Terry.

It's our jurisdiction.

They know.

This is your case, don't worry.

Who is it?

They don't have

a name for me yet.

You'll meet him

down at the morgue.

Detective.

It's a tent stake.

We're gonna need

to rope this off over here.

Crime scene.

Crime scene 1.

I need a unit on Route 22,

mile marker 46,

about 20 yards south.

Copy that, Detective.

Detective, Leslie Spencer from county.

They told you I was coming.

They said someone was, yeah.

Allison Connor just made the ID.

Do you want me at the crime scene?

You can come back

with me at dawn.

Sure.

She's with the county prosecutor.

She's a widow, you know.

Yeah, I know.

I had a sponsorship dinner

in Bloom Hills.

Um, Angela was sleeping over

at a friend's house.

She got picked up at 6:45.

Toby was downstairs

in the basement

playing video games.

I went downstairs

and asked him

if he wanted me to call Maris.

She watches him sometimes

when I'm going to be out late.

And he said

that I should just go.

So he'd been home all day then?

Yes, he got sick at school.

He came home in the middle of the day.

What about getting the mail?

Did he leave the house again?

I doubt it.

Why does that matter?

We don't know if this man

has been watching the house

or for how long.

He may have thought

the house was empty.

It's felony murder regardless,

Detective.

And my office intends

to prosecute it as such.

You said he was just...

just one person?

One, possibly two.

We don't know yet.

We think Toby came up

and just stumbled upon him

from the basement.

He was hit once

in the back of the head.

Excuse me for a bit.

No, I'm okay.

I'm okay. I'm sorry.

Mrs. Connor, we can do this again

at another time.

No. No no no no, l...

I would like to do it now.

I need you to start this now.

This was a burglary,

so we're gonna need

a list of anything missing.

We're gonna have to get that out

as soon as possible,

because sometimes

things turn up.

Okay, I'll do that tomorrow.

And we're gonna need to speak

with your friends,

your associates

in local government.

Maybe there was a dispute.

You have kids?

No, I don't.

Detective.

Maybe his lookout?

Not his... theirs.

They're all Camel Lights.

Radio the unit.

Crime scene 1,

we need a unit out to the north quarter

here along the rock walk.

Hey, Noah.

Yeah?

You should get over here,

behind the house about 60 yards back.

What's up?

Is this a good lead?

We'll see if we find

the other one.

Anything today?

It's just terrible.

We saw it on the news.

Zack saw?

Yeah, he walked in

when I was watching.

Did he say anything?

Huh-uh.

Sorry to bring

you guys out so early.

This is a tent stake.

We found it at a critical spot

near the crime scene.

If these guys were camping,

I'm guessing they were

on the road already

before they got here.

There's campgrounds

and we have three highway junctions

within a few miles.

So let's cover everything,

including garbage cans.

Out of all the houses...

We should head home.

The job wasn't supposed

to end until the 24th.

It's all right.

We've been on the road for weeks.

No one's gonna remember the exact date.

I'm sure your sister does.

Maybe we should just...

just keep driving.

What do you mean?

Look,

if they had an eyewitness,

there'd be sketches on TV.

It's all over the news.

We're gonna be safer

at home, I think.

I'm just gonna call Lyla

tomorrow morning,

make sure

nothing weird's going on.

You mean, tell her?

Christ. No, Eddie.

I'll find out subtly.

Right, yeah yeah.

I mean,

we need to get off this road.

Time to sleep

in a bed already.

Yeah.

It was an accident.

Bad luck.

my sorrow... #

Hey, been a while.

Hey.

Boys, how was the road trip?

- Great.

- Yeah? Make some money?

Did okay.

Want a beer?

Please.

Oh, hey, Nat, is there

no bouncer at the door tonight?

Who let these guys in?

How long have I known you?

A long time.

But how long?

Many years, man.

I've known your sorry ass

so long,

I don't remember

not knowing you.

You know that?

Last call.

Hey.

Hey yourself.

You miss us?

No.

Not really.

- You've got something on your face.

- Shut up.

Come here, let me get it.

A**hole.
