Stone Creek Killer

-(door crashes open) -(a woman screams)

Where is he?

Tell me!

Mommy?

No, no, not our baby!

Get on the floor!

Mommy!

He needs to suffer!

Karl, you read me?

Karl!

Yup. (clears throat)

You gonna show up?

Your meeting with Trent was supposed to start

ten minutes ago.

Um, tell him I'll be there in thirty.

Copy.

Mmm...

Look like a wolf choked you down and puked you back up.

But thanks for remembering, though.

He in there?

Transfer papers are on your desk.

You don't need him, you know.

I'm the one who's meant to be out there

with the dangerous folks.

I'm ready, you know I am ready. Karl!

Karl, I know you can hear me!

Morning, Sir.

Trent.

So, why'd you want to transfer?

Sir?

Why'd you want to come up here?

Needed a change.

Supervisor mentioned you guys could use an extra hand

and it seemed like a good fit.

And also my, ah, my dad and I used to hunt up here.

Hoover PD. Three years.

Ah--almost four.

Simmons still over there?

Yes, Sir.

They will never get him out of uniform.

Sorry to interrupt.

I'll wait.

-You good? -Yup.

- What's up? -Brenda Cousins is here.

She's freaking out.

She says Lisa ran off again last night.

Tell her to wait.

I told her that already.

Tell her again.

It's Brenda.

Karl!

Brenda. I told you to wait outside.

Yeah, I get it.

Lisa didn't come home again last night,

and she's usually back by morning.

Brenda, Trent. Trent, Brenda.

Nice to meet you, Brenda.

I think she's at Clayton's, with Judy, again, doing drugs.

Thank you, Marge.

And not the pot, by the way. I don't really about that.

It's the other stuff.

Did you track her phone like we talked about?

Yes, of course I did, but she blocked me.

Clayton's always drunk; otherwise I'd go.

But he won't mess with you. Both of you? Will you go over?

Alright, you go home, and I'll call when she turns up, okay?

So you're gonna go over there?

-I'm gonna go over there. - Thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you, Brenda!

Come on. I'll give you the dime tour.

Clayton!

Judy upstairs?

What'd she do now?

Lisa didn't come home last night.

I figured Judy might know where she is.

Well, Chief,

Judy said she was staying the night

at Lisa's house last night, so...

I guess you know where to look next.

Bye, Chief.

Woo. It is nice out here.

Yeah.

He feels with the isolation

he can get away with whatever he wants.

Wait. What do you mean by that?

No prying eyes.

No lawyer here, so ah,

guess that means you can't be here either.

That's true, if this was about what you did before,

but this is different.

Heather.

Does your momma know you're all the way out here

hanging with a pedophile?

Straight for the jugular, huh?

It's okay. I'm in a good mood, so.

Lisa and Judy here last night?

Why?

They didn't come home.

Yesterday. Yesterday. Huh.

Oh--oh, yeah. No, no.

I went--I went really, really hard yesterday,

and I, ah, I passed out early.

Yeah, so, you know, if there was any young girls

that came around, I mean, ah, I wouldn't know.

It's a big property.

How 'bout you, Heather?

Did you see Lisa and Judy yesterday?

How 'bout you let me walk around,

check the property, maybe look inside.

My property requires a warrant.

You love controlling young girls, don't you, Adam?

Whatever you say.

I don't know when he'll hurt you,

but when he does, make sure to give me a call.

We'll be back.

Margie?

What?

Let's go and run a Missing Persons

on Lisa and Judy.

Seriously?

Might as well go through the process until they turn up.

Copy.

You hungry?

I could eat.

Evening, boys. The search team is on standby.

What's this? Ooh, Biggie Wangs?

-Oh, Karl! - Yo.

A Meredith something-or-other called.

Says she has some info about the girls.

Call her back?

Hello?

-Ah, Meredith? - Yes.

This is Chief Harding.

Hello, Chief Harding.

I'm sorry, what's your last name, Meredith?

It's Wagner. Meredith Wagner.

I saw the Missing Persons reports.

You saw the Missing Persons reports?

Lisa Cousins and Judy Morse.

Right.

Mrs. Wagner, I don't believe I know you.

-Do you live in the area? - No.

No, I assist the police as a freelancer.

I helped the Duluth PD solve a multiple homicide two years ago.

The double homicide off Highway 313?

Mm-hmm.

So, you know who I am?

I think I know what you are.

Mrs. Wagner--

Something awful happened to Lisa and Judy.

With all due respect--

Can I have ten seconds of quiet?

-Excuse me? - Please.

There's a gun in your desk drawer,

with a bullet in its chamber.

Karl, are you there?

Mrs. Wagner, I appreciate you calling today,

but we're gonna handle this matter internally.

Okay, I'm wrong.

So, I guess there's nothing left to say.

Yes, ma'am.

Alright, I'll see you when I get there tomorrow.

Ah, no, ma'am. Mrs. Wagner?

Karl!

Yeah?!

You got a document in here.

Says URGENT.

She really went for it with the subject line: URGENT.

It's all in caps. It's a bit much.
