Despite his partner's warnings, he sets out to investigate the crimes.

Okay? He saw your clothing-

No! No!

- Come with me.

- Brian.

Okay.

Officer, you take them

into my office right now.

And get Jim Roson.

You call him at home if you have to.

Notify County.

No, please stop!

Please stop!

Can you hear that?

I didn't pray for this girl

while it was happening.

I listened to her die,

and it was--

it was like I forgot or something.

You ever wonder why we're here?

Why Texas City?

Well, I know why you're here.

What if I can'! stop this one, either?

You ain't gonna like this.

No, please stop! Please stop!

Can you track specifically

where the call originated from?

Yeah, I'm trying, Brian,

but the guy that called you

and your partner last night-

Yeah?

He did it from an area

where we get almost no coverage-

all along those bayous

outside Texas City.

- The killing fields?

- Yeah.

You get a connection,

you walk 10 feet and it disappears,

no matter what we try to do.

We gotta bring in

outside construction contractors

'cause our local people

won't go in there.

Why not?

Even the Indians who got pushed

in there in the 19th century

turned to cannibalism.

It's-- it's-- I don't know.

It's infected or something.

All right, just keep trying, okay?

Just keep trying.

- I'm gonna do everything I can.

- Thanks, Jim.

I thought you went to hell

if you worked on Sunday.

I needed to get a newspaper.

What are you doing here?

When you go to church,

you don't pray for me, right?

No, I pray for you.

- Don't do it no more.

- Why not?

'Cause everyone you pray for

ends up f***in' dead.

Oh, am I allowed

to say "f***" in front of him?

Actually, that one's dead.

That's what I'm talking about.

Mike, what's up?

I need subscribers.

That's all the information.

- Today?

- Yes, please.

You brought her in

on a Sunday?

That's Pam's rich kid's

cell phone numbers.

ls the new pope the one

that don'! like fags?

What's going on

with the phone, Mike?

Okay.

'Cause you're from New York,

I will now try to educate you

about round here.

I got an idea- why don't you go home

and aggravate your dog?

I don't know if that Laine girl

is alive or dead.

If she is in the fields,

then she is as good as gone.

And it don't matter

her family,

money, newspaper people,

detectives,

or how much you want to pray...

half of her is probably

back in the food chain.

You have her picture?

This is Us-.

Texas City, Debbie Mills.

One dead girl,

one unsolved.

This is them-

Clark County, the fields.

It's not our jurisdiction.

- What?

- Hey, that's enough now.

I told you to stay out

when I got the company, baby.

Now, come on.

Come on.

You just get your stuff

and get out of here.

Now.

- F*** you, Russell!
