for a reason,

and it wasn't to give

your father a hard time.

But he was the sheriff

when my brother disappeared.

That didn't happen here.

Those boys...

they were from here.

Holly, they just

went for a ride.

That's it.

Nobody knows

what happened after that.

I know. That's not

what I meant. I...

I need a drink.

# Gotta spread

the money blues... #

Amber, hold on.

There's something

I need to explain.

Relax.

Sam? Two beers.

Got it.

I can't relax.

Sure you can.

Have a beer.

You don't understand.

I saw my brother today.

What?

At the farmers' market

back in Jefferson.

This guy had him

in his pickup truck.

Before I had a chance to get

to them, they drove off.

I think the guy

lives in Riddle.

That's why I came here.

Are you sure it was him?

I couldn't get that

close of a look, but...

I know my brother.

It had to be him.

That's why you

were talking to my dad.

But why would...

There must be something

he's not telling you.

What are you saying?

I'll be right back.

Get lost, wench.

Look who's here.

# You know that beggars

can't choose #

# Gotta spread

the money... #

You're that girl, aren't you?

The one whose brother

went missing?

# Beggars can't choose

# Gotta spread

the money blues #

I'm sorry.

I should keep

my stupid mouth shut.

I didn't mean any harm.

It's okay.

Wait.

What do you know about it?

I can't talk

about this right now.

Sam! Another round.

Yeah, yeah.

Keep your hat on.

Holly.

What are you doing?

I don't want to talk to him.

Hi, Holly.

Don't worry.

He's here to help.

We're in.

Found it.

"Myotonia Congenita.

Thompson's Disease."

Does that mean anything to you?

We've known about Nathan having

Thompson's since he was little.

"Name of child,

Nathan Bristol."

"Place of birth,

Riddle, Pennsylvania."

Birth parents,

Gene and Sandra Bristol.

"Known siblings,

Holly Bristol."

You were adopted?

Riddle psychiatric files?

Oh. Hold on.

Bristol.

Bristol. Bristol.

"January 17, 1989,

"Gene Bristol was arrested

by authorities

"at 7:
31 in the morning

after a neighbor

reported a disturbance

at the residence."

"He had taken the life

of Sandra Bristol,

stabbing her 13 times

in the chest and back."

Oh, God.

It says, "Gene Bristol,

pronounced unfit to stand trial,

"has been committed to

Riddle Psychiatric Hospital

on this day

of March 15, 1989."

We gotta get out of here.

Let's go.

# The chip inside my mind

# The one

behind my eyes... #

Hey.

Anything left to drink?

Um...

whiskey.

# Of a shrine

# Pulsing in the head

# I don't even sleep anymore #

# A NASA weather vane

# Transmissions

from outer space #

# Weird skies at night...

Dude, what's she doing here?
