Gracepoint

Why didn't you wake me?

I did.

You told me to go to hell.

Blueberry pancakes.

Mom, why are you here?

I told you you don't have to come make breakfast for us.

I wanted pancakes.

I'm not gonna make 'em just for myself.

- I'm not complaining. - My alarm clock stopped.

Fuse must've blown. I'll check it later. I'm late.

Mom, I have a fever.

No. Go to school. Tell her.

That's her diagnosis, a hand on my head?

Yeah, mom's in charge.

- I got to go. - Did you see Danny?

- He forgot his lunch box. - No.

He's probably at the wild life club. Got to go. See you guys.

- Mark Solano, renewal check. - Hand delivery.

Two weeks late... I should've pulled your ad already.

You know I'm good for it.

- Next check's due in five days. - Have a great day, Kathy.

Don't cross her. She'll crack the whip, man.

Yeah, I know.

It'd be interesting, though, right?

So where's she sending you?

Field day at the school.

You want to lay down some money on the egg toss?

No, no, I think your boss just cleaned me out.

Right. All right.

- Have a good day, all right? - Take care, Owen.

Watch your back. Watch your back.

- Hey. - Hey.

How was your vacation?

Not long enough.

Two weeks isn't long enough?

Not when it's her first day back at work.

I like vacations. I'm good at vacations.

Hey.

So you getting ready for field day?

Can you do me a favor and tell Danny that his mom's got his lunch box?

- Yeah, sure. - Good, good. Good.

- See you later, Mark. - Yeah, see you guys.

Excuse me.

Hey, Mark.

Hey, Beth told me that you were going to the kids' soccer game.

Oh, yeah, sorry. I got caught up in something.

Oh, don't worry about it. We won it anyway.

5 to 2. Well, save your prayers, huh?

So when am I getting that free dinner, huh?

I fixed your boiler.

Well, you have to have class to eat here.

- Oh. - Uh-huh.

- Yeah, I'm nothing but class. - Uh-huh.

- Hey, you dropped your wrench. - Oh, thanks.

This place is falling apart.

Yeah, tell me something I don't know.

Buddy. You're late.

Yeah, traffic was hell on the highway, man.

Yeah, got all those tourist girls, huh?

They're after you, Vince.

Hey, uh...

You get a chance to think a little more about that raise?

What, borrowing my van isn't enough?

Just keep driving.

I am back. I have returned.

That's right. Vacation is over.

We are now living the dream once again.

So what's been going on?

- Ellie. - Yeah.

My office.

Ellie, we hired someone else.

What?

I knew you'd be disappointed.

But you said the promotion was mine.

You said it could wait until after my vacation.

The situation changed.

Well, who... who did you give it to?

- His name is Emmett Carver. - A man.

Huh.

So what happened to, "we need women

in more positions of authority in this department"?

He has a lot of experience.

When does he start?

Last week.

It's over this way.

Must've cut the fence right here...

And made their way into the woods.

You hear any shots?

My wife thought she did, middle of the night.

Season hasn't started yet,

but permits or no permits,

I don't want these guys on my land.

Someone'll call you.

Well, that's it?

You're just leaving?

We'll send someone out.

Go for yeaton.

Call me out 7:00 in the morning for that?

Just serving the community.

We got another call.

Lifeguard saw something down at the beach.

After everything he said,

I should just clear my desk off, and I should just go.

I know, but it's... when I walked back in,

I felt... I felt good.

I felt... I felt ready to go.

I am in here!

- Ellie... - What?

Call's come in.

Show me the gold, all right?

Three, two, one.

There you go.

Hi, James. How are you?

Hey, Beth.

- Hi, Lana. - Hey, is Danny okay?

- What do you mean? - He didn't come in this morning.

Yeah, he did.

No, we haven't seen him today. I figured he was home sick.

Danny, it's mom. You're not at school. Call me now. I want to know where you are.

Jack, hi. Hi, Beth Solano.

Danny was with you today, right? Counting the... Oh, okay.

And... and he didn't call to say he wasn't gonna be in?

No, no, no, no. We're good. Just not sure where he is right now.

Mark, it's me. Call me now.

Did Danny tell you he was going anywhere today

or with anyone?

He had his wild life shift,

but I thought he'd be here.

- Okay, all right. - Thanks, Tom. You can go.

- Call me if he shows up. - Yeah, of course.

Rush hour traffic... Don't you just love it?

Oh, my God.

Traffic is backed up, causing a bit of congestion.

We've got all the news right here.

Don't go away.

Sorry, excuse me. Do you know what's going on?

Cops at the beach. Heard they found a body.

Don't do this to me.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Back behind the tape, ma'am.

- No! - This area's restricted.

- No. - I'm a cop.

Seriously?

I know this boy. He lives here.

- He's my son's best friend. - Calm down.

You don't understand! I know this boy.

Enough. Shut it down.

- Shut it down? - You're working a case now.

- Carver. - I know who you are.

- You took my job. - Wow, you want to do that now?

- You don't even know this kid. - So tell me.

Danny. Daniel Solano, 12.

He goes to school with my son Tom.

His mom, dad, and his sister Chloe, they live here in town.

His dad is the local plumber.

Is this a suicide spot?

- No, he wouldn't do that. - Answer the question.

No, it is not a suicide spot.

He's not that kind of kid.

Where the hell are the crime scene guys?

Sir, if you'd listen,

there's been an incident on the beach.

You need to stay back for now.

Now, we'll let you know...

Ma'am.

Ma'am!

Hey, hey, ma'am!

Who the hell's that?

No, no, no, no. No, Beth, Beth, Beth, you can't be on the beach. Stop, please.

- Danny has those sneakers. - I know. I know. I know.

- Get off of me! - No, let her go. Let her go.

Get off of me!

Ladies, gentlemen, you are looking at a survivor

of the Gracepoint Elementary School field day.

Let me tell you something. It was epic.

Hope you got the right spellings for those kids.

Not gonna get chewed out by parents again this year.

Look at the little jocks.

It's Jamie from the Crab Shack.

She said the police just shut down the beach.

Huh. Want to go check it out?

Or stay here and edit pictures of kickball?

I don't know.

Okay, I'll go to the beach.

People just walk along here without a fence?

Yeah, they know how to be careful.

- Hi, Hugo Garcia. - Talk to me.

This is Detective Carver.

He's new.

Okay, then.

The rock fall around the body was faked.

- What do you mean? - Angle of the body was wrong for a fall,

too arranged.

And up here, there's nothing.

No footprints, sneaker Marks.

Flattened grass, no slippage.

No loose rocks, no fibers, no hand marks.

He didn't fall from here.

Could he have jumped?

Not to where the body was found.
