Synopsis: Souder, a homicide detective in a small Texan town, and his partner, transplanted New York City cop Detective Heigh, track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims' mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call 'The Killing Fields'. Though the swampland crime scenes are outside their jurisdiction, Detective Heigh is unable to turn his back on solving the gruesome murders. Despite his partner's warnings, he sets out to investigate the crimes. Before long, the killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When familiar local girl Ann goes missing, the detectives find themselves racing against time to catch the killer and save the young girl's life.

I don't know.

One of Mama's boyfriends.

Oh, sh*t.

Thank you.

A pack of Reds in the box.

Mom, Dad's home!

- This is Anne.

Anne, this is my wife Gwen.

This is for you.

Well, thank you very much.

Come on.

Everybody come on in.

Pass the plates, Mom.

One more meatloaf coming up.

This is our Sunday tradition.

You got it, Mama?

For over 100 years,

ever since the war.

Not today, not today, not today.

- Here's some mashed potatoes.

- You take some of that.

That's right, hooves,

or it can chews the 'could.'

My question is, "What is the could?"

Everybody get this.

- What is the could?

- The could.

Hold on, I'll get the phone.

Hello?

Honey, it's Pam.

- It's okay. I'll take her home.

- Mommy.

You good?

I'll be right back, okay?

You doin' all right, son?

The boy found the body

when he was walking his dog.

I left a message for Mike

on his cell phone.

Yep, left about 15 messages.

- Haven't heard from him?

- I learned on our honeymoon,

never call Mike after 2:00

in the afternoon on a weekend.

This ain't good, Bri.

- Is it Kirsten Laine?

- Yeah, it is.

They took her hands.

Her dress is buttoned up wrong.

Somebody put that dress

back on her.

You see the cause of death?

Not yet.

We got to get her out of here.

I got something here.

Pam, I got a print.

Damn it.

Ugh!

Come on.

Pull her out.

God damn it!

Good. You got it?

You still got it?

Oh, God!

- No. Damn it! Damn it.

- God!

Here, here.

God damn.

Here.

Why don't you answer your phone

once in a while, Detective?

You got 30 cops,

you got feds,

a f***in' helicopter, you got

my f***in' partner part time!

What the hell else you want?

I pulled Levon's rap sheet.

You get a chance to read it?

Huh?

You got rape, kidnapping, assault.

You got two guys with priors.

It goes right to them.

Our beat is Texas City.

I don't want to be here.

You don't belong here.

What if this is the girl we heard?

She was down and bound

here in this place.

And somebody took the time

to pick up their cell phone

and dial a number.

You know whose f***ing number

they dialed, Mike?

That was yours and mine.

We're in there the other night

and there's no women there

and it's just dudes,

and they're all from North Carolina.

How'd you know they all

from North Carolina?

Well, they know Sparta,

Winston-Salem, Boone.
