Trust me, Steve,

he wasn't gonna shoot.

There's never been a murder

in Rockwell Falls. Never.

Well, statistically speaking,

you're due.

[WHIRRING]

[###]

I'm 51, born here like most,

never married and no children.

That is about it.

Ever skinned an apple, Mr. Kady?

No, I can't say that I have.

Take this and, gently,

with your thumb

near the blade,

in a circular motion...

I have a listing for your neighbor,

Ray Jacobs, and his

daughter Amanda.

Do you know where I can reach them?

Oh, dear.

I'm afraid Ray

is not coming back.

He passed away a couple

of days ago.

Terrible car accident.

Was his daughter in the accident?

No, thank the Lord.

But that doesn't mean

she isn't hurting.

Though the good doctor

is doing everything he can.

Well, it's not quite

as good as yours but...

Very nice.

All right.

Please, take one

for the road.

Oh, thank you very much.

And thanks for your cooperation.

If everyone's as quick

as you, I'll be out of here

in a couple days.

Oh, I doubt it, Mr. Kady.

Have a nice day.

CHILDREN:

Solidarity and steadfastness.

We are the union of the divine,

and we shall cherish

equilibrium and peace.

WOMAN:

Very good. And who would like

to lead us in the holy words

as they were passed down?

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGU AGE]

Easy, Steve-O, it's just me.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Just came to give you

the good news.

Farmer's wife is fine.

She just had some spoiled milk

and he wanted me to pass

on his apologies.

Well, that's good news. Thanks.

So where you headed?

Oh, the Greaver residence.

I'll give you a ride.

Oh, no. Ms. Dresden was

just teaching the kids

a little local history

as it was laid down

by Seymour Grateman.

Well, it's no wonder people

grow up with crazy thoughts

around here.

Easy, Steve-O. I was raised

the same way and it

didn't screw me up, did it?

It's a little early to tell.

Dr. Greaver?

Inside.

Thank you.

Mr. Kady, of course.

Nice to meet you.

Please come in.

Ernie, she'll be right with you.

ERNIE:
Thank you.

Now, just give me a moment.

You rest easy, Betsy.

Call me if you need anything.

Thank you, doctor.

There.

What happened to her?

Oh, doctor-patient privilege,

Mr. Kady.

I'm sure you understand.

Please follow me.

My name is Dr. Harold

James Greaver.

I'm 64 years old.

Married to Mildred, my wife,

who acts also as

my nurse. She's 63.

And Amanda Jacobs,

is she here? I heard you've

been treating her.

Yeah, well, technically she doesn't

live here, but, yes, she is under

our care as a patient.

Her mother died years ago.

After her father died recently

she started to exhibit

symptoms of schizophrenia,
