We'll drive out tomorrow.

Okay.

It's your case.

God, I haven't been back there

since my dad's funeral.

Senior year in high school

my folks saved up

all this money

for me to go

to MacAuley College.

I didn't want to go.

I loved it in Caswell.

But Dad insisted.

We fought day and night

for months.

I ended up going.

I met Emily and that was it.

Never moved back.

Love will do that to you.

Yeah, I guess so.

Daniel.

Hey. Oh my God,

it's been a while.

Yeah, it's been too long.

How are you?

- Really good.

- Oh.

Oh! As I live and breathe.

- What are you doing?

- How's things, Billy?

No complaints.

How about you?

Really good.

Just give me one second.

Can I get you a beer or something?

No, thanks.

What brings you down here?

Take care of him.

How's Jane?

- Ah. Busy as hell.

- Yeah?

Yeah, finally sold

the Wyatt plant...

a pharmaceutical company called

Kinnealey-Masterson.

- Been working on it for months.

- That's great news.

Yeah. Well,

it's something like 400 jobs,

so, you know,

it's really gonna save us.

The only problem is I never get

to see her before midnight.

Hey, you know what?

You should come down

to the floats this year.

I know she'd love to see you.

Hey, Missy,

if you find this punk on the wall

over there, lunch is on the house.

Step into my office here, fellas.

- Sure you don't want a beer?

- No.

You've got a little official business

going on?

Family all right?

Everybody good?

Yeah yeah yeah.

You guys hear

about this burglary up by me?

Mm.

Yeah. The one where

that kid got killed? Yeah.

That is a f***ing nightmare.

Is it your case?

Are guys trucking up to Hilliard

from here for work?

Of course.

Seems like kind of

a long way, no?

Gotta go where the work is,

right, Noah?

I mean,

Wyatt's been closed down

for almost, I don't know,

five years or so.

Yeah, I mean, guys do

construction trade all over, you know...

Hilliard, Northfield, Ocinto.

Hand me the rag, will you?

Say please.

So wait a minute. What... what...

what are you thinking, Noah?

You think

that mess might lead here?

No, I haven't called anyone yet.

I'm here on my own.

Noah, who's the looker?

She's with me.

I'm keeping this quiet,

but I do need to do

some interviews

with guys who have been

traveling for work.

Noah, everyone here

travels for work.

People are constantly

coming and going all the time.

The town's like

a regular truck stop.

Well,

Hilliard workers then.

You have some evidence,

I'm guessing?

I have what I have, Daniel.

Guys, this is me, you know.

It's gonna stay under control.

I just need you to help me

round up some people, that's all.

Yeah, all right, Noah.

We'll play ball.
