The Outsider

Tell me why you're here.

Did you kill my son?!

Want me to explain all that to you?

Is that not Terry Maitland

on the same day 70 miles away?

He can't have been in two places at once.

I'm baffled by this conflicting evidence.

If Terry Maitland is innocent... we're not done.

No!

You dreaming about that man again?

He was here.

Did anything out of the ordinary happen?

Daddy got a cut.

It was a cut, and that was it.

Do you think Terry Maitland killed that boy?

I really don't know.

Fall through.

Keep going.

What have we got?

We secured the barn and surrounding areas.

- You're good to go inside. - Thank you.

Lights.

I wish I could tell you about the last week.

Let me get that for you.

Morning. Thank you.

There you go.

Welcome back, T!

- How's the baby? - I think we'll keep him.

Who's he look like?

Winston Churchill with a deep tan.

Yeah, the baby's great, Jack. Thanks for asking.

Sorry. What... What are you doing here?

Need to pick up some stuff out of my desk.

You look like you're about to snap a few necks.

I had to drive out to some goddamn barn in Canning because

the Staties found some clothes they think maybe belonged

to the Maitland guy.

It's our case. Somebody's got to represent.

You kidding me? It's a fucking one-hour drive.

By the time I show up, it will be wrapped and gone.

Have fun.

Please tell me you've at least fed yourself

since I left this morning.

I found the website of the old age home

where Terry went to visit his father.

Yeah?

I ran the old man's name through the National Criminal Database,

turns out he was arrested for aggravated assault

in Marietta back in 1985.

Honey.

They've got you on leave for a reason.

Do I look whacked out?

It's post-shooting protocol; it's nothing personal.

Yeah, I know that.

So, how about you just take the time off they gave you?

I mean, Jesus, if somebody offered me paid leave...

Speaking of which...

how was your day?

"Song of the Humpback Whale"!

I'm serious!

I want to see you dance to "Song of the Humpback Whale."

Boom boom.

Come on, change the music.

Put on the "Song of the Humpback Whale"!

Watch her dance.

Hey, Jack.

You ever heard that?

It's kind of a nature recording...

bunch of fuckin' whales making these moaney noises

to each other in the ocean.

Can't say I have.

Well, the reason I suggest it is,

if she's gonna move her ass up there

like some half-dead Oxy-head,

maybe that tune would be more to her liking.

Asshole!

Candace to the main stage.

- You're not working today? - Yes, I'm goddamn working today.

Just taking my time getting there.

Is that okay with you, shithead?

Sure, it's okay, Jack.

Good, I'm so glad to hear it.

"Sure, it's okay with you, Jack."

Just gonna pay, not gonna hit you.

Toss that down her panties.

Motherfucker!

What did I tell you?

This is your last chance, Butch!

Come on out or we're coming in after ya!

Very serious, Butchie.

Very...

serious.

Shit.

It's bullshit.

Fuck this.

Oh, shit!

Oh... fuck.

I'm a police officer.

What... What do you want...

What did you just do...

Fuck!

Fuck.

Fuck.

Here's what we found at the barn.

Thank you.

Lavender button-down shirt.

Pair of grey Jockey shorts.

White crew-socks...

and brown work boots, all of which can be found

- growing on the nearest tree. - Yeah, sure.

However, we also found this.

- Terry's? - Indeed.

It's the same one we caught on the surveillance tape

after he changed clothes at the strip club,

and at the train station in Dubrow.

Yeah, but there could be more than one belt buckle like that

- in the world. - No doubt.

The lab had Maitland's dabs on file,

matched them up right away.

But here's the thing: Some were very well defined...

but others... take a look.

See how faint the lines and whorls are on those?

While on these, they're almost entirely broken up.

The tech who did the work

said the weaker prints were like

the prints of an old person.

So, maybe somebody 80 or 90 years old.

So, someone else?

No. They're all the same person.

I asked him if maybe they could seem blurred because Maitland

was moving fast, wanting to change clothes quick

to get out of town. He said no.

Did you check them against the ones in the van?

Indeed.

The well-defined ones were an easy match.

But here's the thing.

Originally, we IDed five sets of prints.

Terry's, the kid Merlin's, the van's owner in New York,

- his wife and his daughter. - Okay.

But there was one set...

we thought was too degraded to bother with.

So, take another shot,

compare them against the old man prints on the belt buckle.

Buckle. Van.

Terry strong. Terry degraded.

Terry young. Terry ancient.

What's happening here? I've...

Maybe hold that question until I'm done.

We also found this.

What is it?

At first, we thought it was semen,

but it's not.

Besides, semen doesn't do this.

- The same stuff? - They're 90 percent sure.

And there's more of it

- in other parts of the barn. - Was anyone working there?

Maybe it's motor oil, engine lubricant.

- They tested for that. - How about livestock salve?

Udder liniment?

- You know, bag balm? - Tested for that, too.

- So, what is it? - Well, they're still testing.

I think we should go and...

contact Howie Saloman, Alec Pelley,

- bring them in on this. - Why would we do that?

Just let them know what's going on.

Yeah, but we don't know what's going on.

Exactly, so... Yeah.

See if they have any bright ideas.

Mrs. Maitland, this is not your girls' fault

in the least, please understand that.

But the kids in school...

There's a growing hostility towards Maya and Jessa,

and I'm afraid that it's only going to escalate.

Can't their teachers protect them?

Can't you?

This is coming from the parents as well.

So, they're being expelled?

- "Expelled" is the wrong word... - Okay, well let me think.

How about we just say they're on sabbatical?

Yes, I like that much better.

You have to understand my position.

I do understand.

You have to look out for the welfare of

all of the students and not just the ones who are being

harassed and bullied. I get it.

I can help you find a school...

but I am afraid wherever

- the girls enrol... - Got it.

Maybe you can consider home schooling?

I can certainly help you with that.

And mother to mother?

I think it's outrageous when children have to pay

for the sins of a parent.

Sins?

My husband was innocent.

What do you mean

the state lab doesn't know what this shit is?

It's the state lab for Christ's sake.

They're working on it.

And they're sure all the prints are Terry's?
