Speaker 1: it's it's fine. Jocelyn said, it's something Gabe dead. I
Speaker 1: thought it would be helpful, and it is helpful. It's okay, really,
Speaker 1: thank you. I imagine it's strange living here without him.
Speaker 1: But you don't have to walk on eggshells around us.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a burden. You made it
Speaker 1: out of those woods alive, Isaiah, make no mistake. We're
Speaker 1: thankful for that. Shoes on, backpack on. Now? Can we
Speaker 1: get this over with nice attitude? Missy? Whatever? Can we go?
Speaker 1: Good luck today at your interview? You too? That's cool?
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, and you might want to check for
Speaker 1: the aftermath in those pbjs. Looks like you've got some
Speaker 1: strawberry jelly on your neck. Mom h I say I
Speaker 1: had another count that last night? Is he okay? Shut out?
Speaker 1: That's all this blood come on us there. I'm not
Speaker 1: dragging you the whole way byr bitch, askar carry what
Speaker 1: was that? I'm coming gay all right, check the glove
Speaker 1: box for the GPS. GPS always following trails fourteen miles
Speaker 1: to the first site. This is some of rode and
Speaker 1: realize your idea of a brother bonding trip when involved
Speaker 1: trying to kill me. Funny, Glad the court didn't beat
Speaker 1: that out of you. It makes me a cripple, though,
Speaker 1: so it's always thanks for the consideration. If you don't
Speaker 1: want to do this, let's turn back now because that no,
Speaker 1: I'm not dealing with that whole weekend. You sound like mom.
Speaker 1: That's because you're still picking fights like a little bit yass.
Speaker 1: We're teen miles into the Bermuda. Try and go to
Speaker 1: the northeast. Huh, it's good. No, I'm gonna enjoy proving
Speaker 1: those stories of yours are full of ship there. Listen,
Speaker 1: all right, play your games, but if it goes down,
Speaker 1: I'm leaving your ass beyond brother or no, brother, don't worry.
Speaker 1: Like you said, I'm probably full of ship. Cho God damnit,
Speaker 1: maybe I can burn it. How the hell do you
Speaker 1: start this like that? I guess hey there, neighbor. A
Speaker 1: little early to fire up the grill, isn't it? Hey, Paul,
Speaker 1: what you're cooking? Nothing? Just swapping the propane tank and
Speaker 1: start turning my keep around here before I actually decided
Speaker 1: to kick me out. Something I can help you with.
Speaker 1: I heard you coming home last night. Trucks louder than hazies.
Speaker 1: Notice something when you pulled in? What what was that
Speaker 1: the tail lights out? Left side? Did you get that fixed? Oh?
Speaker 1: Left side? Got it? I'll take care of that. Something
Speaker 1: to matter? No, just I'm ringing in my ears. You
Speaker 1: gotta stop burning that candle with both vans stretch as
Speaker 1: a killer. Where are you coming from so late? Anyway? Damn,
Speaker 1: I gotta run job interview. I'm sorry, of course, but
Speaker 1: before you go, you might want to check out nothing
Speaker 1: in the grill. It smells like it's burning. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: keep walking on. Here we are first day of school.
Speaker 1: I just think two years will be in the same building.
Speaker 1: Are you sure you don't want a picture? Y'all look
Speaker 1: so pretty? Nat, I'm okay. Hey wait, so uh, I
Speaker 1: know today might be hard. Some kids might wanna ask
Speaker 1: about dad, but you don't have to talk about it.
Speaker 1: Not if you don't want to, I know, all right, good,
Speaker 1: But if you want to talk about it, you can.
Speaker 1: It's up to you. Mom. I got to go have fun,
Speaker 1: knock their socks off. Love you two. Bug. Oh there
Speaker 1: you are, come on in, I said, I want to
Speaker 1: thank you for considering me for the position. Mrs Marshall,
Speaker 1: Oh hush. I've been looking for an overnight god for
Speaker 1: some time, someone trustworthy, not like those mcnathan boys, liars,
Speaker 1: the lot of them. Frankly, when I sold the name
Speaker 1: Isaiah Williams, I was over the moon. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think I forgot that other worldly fastball. Hit ninety as
Speaker 1: a sophomore, most strikeouts in the state, first one I
Speaker 1: ever had hopes for something big. It seems like another life. Then,
Speaker 1: of course you hit a bumpy road after your mother
Speaker 1: and all a damned shame. Gigi was a rare angel. Now,
Speaker 1: don't worry. I wouldn't trust you if you hadn't fallen
Speaker 1: apart after something like that. Sign of a good heart
Speaker 1: letting tragedy hit you wear at shot sit. You became
Speaker 1: an army boy after that, didn't you. That's where you
Speaker 1: got that limp. Shouldn't get in the way with any
Speaker 1: of the work here. Nah, If locking doors and mopping
Speaker 1: floors are easy enough for these old bones, you'll finish
Speaker 1: in half the time. Isn't it over kill hiring a
Speaker 1: full time guard at a library in the town as
Speaker 1: small as this. Between the artifacts we store and the
Speaker 1: Historical Society archive, I don't take any chances. Once they're lost,
Speaker 1: they're gone forever. So you really think people were breaking
Speaker 1: here for this stuff. Elk Credge Falls dates back to
Speaker 1: the first English colonists. That's why you have pretentious legacy
Speaker 1: ass hats like the Reed family. Michele read still the
Speaker 1: detective on your brother's case. Ah, yeah, she is a
Speaker 1: viper without any venom. That one means she bites twice
Speaker 1: as hard. I'll argue with you on that. Honest and
Speaker 1: tactful I like that anyway. As I was saying, Elk
Speaker 1: Ridge Falls has a long history, and that history is valuable.
Speaker 1: Not honetarily maybe, but what's past down is important. Our
Speaker 1: very survival depends on it. Oh dear, I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about those racist statues. To hell with those bigots. I'm
Speaker 1: also not talking about the kind of history they teach
Speaker 1: at those fancy schools. That's an appetizer at best. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the nitty gritty corners of what we choose
Speaker 1: to leave behind, the threads of truth we disguise in
Speaker 1: the stories we tell each other, the darkest corner of
Speaker 1: ourselves we turn away from. You know, the darkness I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, first your mother, now you and your brother
Speaker 1: out there in the wilderness, all that time, a loan,
Speaker 1: afraid memories you wish you could forget. I live by
Speaker 1: the darkness as much as the light. I respect it's
Speaker 1: equal power over us, the way it takes hold and
Speaker 1: grows like a weed, digging its roots inside of us.
Speaker 1: Until are you feeling okay? I say you're the pale
Speaker 1: as death? Who WHOA? Are you all right? Just a
Speaker 1: little dizzy? I guess damn heat air conditionings out and
Speaker 1: Marty has been waiting on a part since Jesus was born.
Speaker 1: I should go. Let's get you a glass of water.
Speaker 1: I'm fine, really, I just have to pick my knees
Speaker 1: up from school. It's barely new. No, I really have
Speaker 1: to go. If you say so, I'll see you Monday, though,
Speaker 1: bright and early, to show you the ropes round here. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Monday. Thank you Mrs Marshall. Thank you still by
Speaker 1: time by Friday, spare packets on the front table. Thanks Ashley.
Speaker 1: But I survived freshman history while ago two disks behind,
Speaker 1: you have memory, serves Michelle on duty detective read. Is
Speaker 1: there news about Gabe? No? Sorry, nothing new came about
Speaker 1: to tell you. We're doing a sweep in the Manonga
Speaker 1: Hilla today, west of the river. You think you'd have
Speaker 1: gone that far. We've exhausted the initial search area. No
Speaker 1: choice but to expand. Okay, good, Then your father in
Speaker 1: law will be there. I'm sure he will be, and
Speaker 1: I will be picking up my daughter at school. I
Speaker 1: didn't mean to imply that we're on the same side here, Ashley.
Speaker 1: We both want to know what happened to Gabe. How
Speaker 1: are you and johceon doing? Been hearing things around town?
Speaker 1: What kind of things? Nothing bad, per se, Just that
Speaker 1: things have been difficult after losing my husband. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: say things been pretty difficult. He's still a missing person's case.
Speaker 1: Don't underestimate hope, and look, I have study hall duty.
Speaker 1: Is there something else you need, Michelle? No, I'll let
Speaker 1: you get to it. Oh. Actually, and to ask, how's Isaiah?
Speaker 1: Since he came back. He's recovering, at least he seems
Speaker 1: to be. He still doesn't remember any more details about
Speaker 1: I think he's trying to put it behind him. I'm
Speaker 1: sure he is. I'll call you if we find anything. Hm,
Speaker 1: No one, Hey, you got any more change down here? Thanks?
Speaker 1: Trying to keep something out, neighbor trying to keep something in,
Speaker 1: pom As she's saying you again, there was are a
Speaker 1: lot of change working on a project for the house. Right.
Speaker 1: You know your brother, he wasn't a very handed guy.
Speaker 1: He didn't even own his own drill. My old man
Speaker 1: used to say a man can't run a home if
Speaker 1: he don't know how to build it. And his wife, Ashley,
Speaker 1: she's quiet the home. Where are you getting that? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't mean anything by just locker room talk, you know, No,
Speaker 1: I don't. Are you're gonna be able to load all
Speaker 1: those with your leg and on? Man, I can manage.
Speaker 1: I guess I'll see you around a neighborhood. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you will have a good day. Paum All right, what's
Speaker 1: your space? And everyone? We passed the perimeter half my
Speaker 1: back in the show. Just a little further. Storms are
Speaker 1: rolling them too. We've got time. I know I'm not
Speaker 1: your partner anymore, but little advice. Respect your fellow officers.
Speaker 1: Time talk, if games alive? Every second count. It's been
Speaker 1: eight weeks. Both of us know better than the believis.
Speaker 1: It's okay, haven't failed. Let's regroup. We double back in
Speaker 1: the morning over Nobody just vanishes into thin air. What
Speaker 1: am I missing? I wish you knew years on the force,
Speaker 1: and I can't even find my own son. They found something?
Speaker 1: Talk to me ready. Rokey's got one looks like a
Speaker 1: backpack slashed to hell? What that looks like? It's covered
Speaker 1: in one? Nobody moved. We're coming to you. Sorry you guys.
Speaker 1: I promise this is the last cast role from the Neighbors.
Speaker 1: Not entirely were what's in this one? But it was
Speaker 1: pretty easy. So m hmm, Isaiah, how the interview go?
Speaker 1: Oh um? She offered me to job. That's great? Really, congrats?
Speaker 1: What about your first day, Jocelyn? How'd it go? Fine?
Speaker 1: Just fine? Nothing else to share? No, come on, there's
Speaker 1: got to be something any new friends? The appy excuse
Speaker 1: if you're finished? Mh I'm gonna talk to her. Let
Speaker 1: me try be my guests? Go away? Mom? What about
Speaker 1: your grumpy uncle, how sorry any time? What? Anytime? You
Speaker 1: want to start talking? I don't want to talk. Sure, okay,
Speaker 1: it's just the kids at school. They've been mean to you, No,
Speaker 1: the opposite, their own nasts to nass, holding doors open
Speaker 1: and let me skip in line at lunch and stuff.
Speaker 1: And I never wanted to talk to me, not really,
Speaker 1: I see. I kept thinking it's gonna be my whole laugh,
Speaker 1: everyone smiling with nothing to say. That happened to me
Speaker 1: when my mom died. It was like if they said
Speaker 1: the wrong thing, I cried or scream or or whatever else.
Speaker 1: I ain't want to deal with it. I remember wishing
Speaker 1: they're just teasing bullet me, but at least feel normal.
Speaker 1: If my dad doesn't combat, it's never gonna be normal again.
Speaker 1: Is it the normally? You remember? No? But the good
Speaker 1: news is this part ends. They'll be back to pushing
Speaker 1: you into your lockers and giving you swirlies in no time.
Speaker 1: You know, Boo didn't have his own line now, right.
Speaker 1: The point is life will move on, and I think
Speaker 1: that's the hardest part sometimes, making peace with the fact
Speaker 1: your life keeps going. Sometimes I dream about what might
Speaker 1: have happened to my dad. I think I must have
Speaker 1: been scared, will be scared in the woods when you
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna die, I told you to grab
Speaker 1: the GPS. Now we stuck out here in the dark.
Speaker 1: Don't you dare blame this on me. I'm not the
Speaker 1: one who left behind. Fuck you, I didn't even want
Speaker 1: to do this. Coom by your eagle scout. Bullshit. Hey,
Speaker 1: I gave you anol really, because if I didn't come,
Speaker 1: it would just be Isaiah the funk up backing out
Speaker 1: on his perfect brother. Man, that's bullshit. Look what was that?
Speaker 1: Probably just said adm Man. Yeah, big animal, bro, stop panicking,
Speaker 1: all right, we're not lost. If we heard duties, well

Speaker 1: your knee. Cops out. What the funk are you doing?
Speaker 1: Those chains won't hold you, not long anyway. What No
Speaker 1: one's what they see, Isaiah, especially not you. You may
Speaker 1: have walked into these woods to human, but you walk
Speaker 1: down something else. I don't know what you're talking about,
Speaker 1: my Paul. You need to leave. They say it's the
Speaker 1: worst pain a man can feel. Your bones breaking, skin
Speaker 1: tearing off your body, fangs growing in your mouth, and
Speaker 1: those handlers splitting right through your scalp. Show me. I
Speaker 1: sad so much you become must Him must story. Good bye,
