The Sinner

Well, we get in these big boats

and it takes us right up to where the water's coming down.

Right up to the edge.

If we're lucky, we might actually see

- some people coming over in barrels. - Barrels?

It's a thing in Niagara Falls.

People put themselves in these big barrels...

like pickle barrels. They just hold tight and...

No, no, they don't.

I'm telling you.

- No, they don't. - Okay, fine.

I guess you'll just have to wait and see for yourself, then.

It's saying two hours and 20 minutes.

- Okay. - We should get gas.

We still have a quarter of a tank.

Let's just fill it up, please.

Okay.

- What was that? - I don't know.

What happened?

You got it.

You got it, you got it, you got it.

Look.

- I'm not even doing anything. - Whoa!

All right, I'll push. All right, crank the wheel.

That's it.

Nice work.

You've got some strong muscles, boy.

We still don't have service.

All right, so we'll find a phone.

Somebody'll take a look at it tonight.

What are you doing?

We're not hitchhiking!

Adam!

Okay, I guess we're walking, then.

I saw a sign for lodging up the road.

We can call a mechanic there.

I... I know a guy. I can call him.

But I can tell you right now,

he isn't gonna do no work tonight.

How much for a room with two beds?

59.

- Oh, God. - What?

My wallet.

I left it in the car.

It's okay.

We'll get it in the morning, okay?

Hey.

How are we gonna get to Niagara Falls without a car?

Oh, we still have our car.

We're gonna get it fixed first thing in the morning.

We'll see the falls tomorrow.

Given the changes that are happening to liquidity,

many of those same investors are not appreciating...

I know, I just... You're just acting like it's no big deal.

- And it is a big deal for him. - I know that.

For me, too.

The car breaking down has nothing to do with my attitude,

Bess, okay?

I'm just trying to make this fun for him.

We shouldn't be spending the night here.

Well, I can't exactly barge into some mechanic's place

and pull him off his couch right now, can I?

- I know, I just... - Okay.

- What do you wanna do? - It's just that...

Hey, buddy.

How you doing? You good?

Come on, let's get ready for bed, all right?

Hey, what's the matter?

Did you have that nightmare again?

- What's going on? - I wanna go home.

Oh, honey.

Hey, it's okay.

This is just a little... delay.

You're okay.

Hey.

Come on.

There we go.

Okay. We're all set.

Mechanic's finishing up a job.

He's calling me back in an hour.

- What time is it? - 8:15.

Where's Julian?

I introduced him to the joys of the breakfast bar.

He's getting us tea. He insisted.

And I'm gonna take a nice, hot shower.

- You left him there? - Yeah.

I did.

And he's fine.

Hey.

He's fine, okay? He's a big boy.

- He... - It's okay.

You're such a bad father.

The worst.

It's me!

Look at you.

Oh, thank you. This is so nice.

Our room service is here.

Thank you. Mmm, smells like licorice.

Oh.

Oh. I'm gonna take a shower.

- Sounds good. - Yeah.

And it's looking like a few more days of fair weather

with rain on the horizon...

Adam...

Are you okay?

Adam?

Julian.

Julian.

- Jeannie. - Hey.

- Gonna be in the back? - Yeah, he's back there.

Dad.

I'll be right there.

There we go. Thank you, Jeannie.

I ran into the Hendersons.

And they asked about you.

They were really hoping you can make it tonight.

You show up, eat some barbecue...

I don't... No, all of those couples and screaming kids.

You got something against kids now?

Maybe you'll meet somebody there.

At Helen's? Come on.

- Dad... - You don't know.

No.

Besides, I've got a break-in up in Ansville.

And then I gotta go food shopping...

- Hey, Patrick. - What are you doing?

Looking good. What?

- Dad. - What?

It's dressing. I'm eating salad.

- Ranch is all cholesterol. - It's a salad for lunch.

I'm serious. Jeannie?

No more ranch for him from now on, okay?

You got it, sweetie.

Hey.

What do you mean, a 10-35?

Who's there now? No, don't do anything.

- I'm coming. I'll be right there. - No, no.

I gotta go.

What the hell's a 10-35?

Hey.

Hey.

- Where's F.I.U.? - On the way from Syracuse.

EMTs are calling them deceased.

Supposedly it's a couple in their 30s.

Checked in last night with their son.

- There's three of them in there? - I don't know.

They told me to just hold down the scene, so...

Jesus.

Are these rocks?

- Who else has been in here? - No one.

What about the housekeeper?

She says she didn't step inside.

She didn't move the bodies?

I just said she didn't step inside.

I was just making sure, Brick.

I'm gonna ask questions more than once.

All right.

Brick.

Keller PD! Hands up!

I said hands up!

Hey.

Is it just you? Is anyone else here?

It's okay.

You're all right.

Really? That's what they're doing nowadays?

You expect the kid to call you? That's how things work now?

Look, I'm just saying nothing's gonna change

until you call her.

- You know? - Yeah.

Say you wanna see your grandson.

You're a grandpa. You get to nag.

I don't wanna nag.

Will you look at that?

I mean, why do they have to cut those hedges into right angles?

Where do right angles appear in nature anywhere, huh?

Next time I'll catch you guys...

Make a wish.

- Hello? - Hi, is this Harry Ambrose?

Yeah, speaking.

Hi, uh, this is Heather Novack.

Jack Novack's daughter.

Oh, Heather. Okay, yeah.

- I'm sorry to bother you. - Oh, no, no.

It's all right. It's all right.

Uh, is everything okay? Is... Is Jack okay?

Oh, yeah, he's fine.

I know I'm calling you out of the blue,

but I, um...

I recently made Detective.

And I just got this case up here.

I don't know what to call it.

It's a double murder.

I think it's a double murder.

- This is in Keller? - Yeah.

Just outside of town.

Look, I know it's not like we've been in touch at all.

But my dad talks about you, and I read about your case

with that woman a few months ago.

Eh, they made too big a deal of that thing.

Well, I could actually use another set of eyes on this.
