1
00:00:38,866 --> 00:00:40,600
So Jake Kane is your father.

2
00:00:40,766 --> 00:00:42,633
Deal with it, Veronica.

3
00:00:43,933 --> 00:00:45,133
Does Dad know?

4
00:00:45,333 --> 00:00:48,433
Did he go after Jake Kane so obsessively
because of the affair?

5
00:00:49,566 --> 00:00:52,533
Oh, God. Does this mean...?

6
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,900
Is Duncan my...?

7
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:06,266
Those photos that were sent to Mom,
the ones with me framed in a gunsight...

8
00:01:06,433 --> 00:01:10,466
...was that how Jake finally
stuck it to Dad, his old rival?

9
00:01:10,633 --> 00:01:14,233
If so, I'm taking this bastard down hard.

10
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,133
I don't care whose father he is.

11
00:01:19,633 --> 00:01:22,066
This one was taken last year, downtown.

12
00:01:22,233 --> 00:01:25,433
My sole reason for being in that
part of town was that Mom insisted...

13
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,700
...I see a counselor after Lilly died.

14
00:01:27,866 --> 00:01:31,366
Every Thursday for six weeks,
Dr. Dave and I stared across an ottoman...

15
00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:34,000
...at each other. But which Thursday?

16
00:01:37,666 --> 00:01:39,300
Book Week?

17
00:01:39,466 --> 00:01:41,666
Mrs. Murphy, when was Book Week?

18
00:01:41,833 --> 00:01:45,566
Wow, now, there's an attitude
I like to see in our post-literate age.

19
00:01:45,733 --> 00:01:47,833
Don't worry, Veronica.
It's still months away.

20
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,733
- Last year's Book Week.
- It's always the first week in February.

21
00:01:51,933 --> 00:01:54,233
Okay, now I know which Thursday.

22
00:01:55,466 --> 00:01:58,000
In the picture,
I'm standing in this exact spot.

23
00:02:00,333 --> 00:02:03,533
Whoever took those photos
had to be sitting at this exact table.

24
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:05,900
It's the only one
where the angle matches.

25
00:02:06,566 --> 00:02:09,666
Dated and time-stamped. Gotcha.

26
00:02:09,833 --> 00:02:11,533
Do you keep all your receipts?

27
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:16,366
Is it possible for you to pull just the ones
from February 4th, between 4:45 and 5:30?

28
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:20,233
- Someone's been stalking me.
- My God.

29
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,866
I'm positive whoever took these shots
was sitting at that table over there.

30
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,533
Clarence Wiedman.
Big mistake, paying with a credit card.

31
00:02:31,866 --> 00:02:36,233
And there he is. The man who took
surveillance photos of me.

32
00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:48,366
Well, wouldn't you know.

33
00:02:56,066 --> 00:02:58,233
Kane Software. Main number, please.

34
00:02:58,433 --> 00:03:02,866
The number you requested is 555-0125.

35
00:03:03,066 --> 00:03:05,300
Kane Software.
How may I direct your call?

36
00:03:05,466 --> 00:03:07,266
Give me Clarence Wiedman, please.

37
00:03:07,433 --> 00:03:10,500
You've reached Clarence Wiedman,
head of security, Kane Software.

38
00:03:10,666 --> 00:03:12,400
Please leave a message.

39
00:03:13,633 --> 00:03:17,466
And there it is. I know who's responsible
for scaring Mom away.

40
00:03:17,633 --> 00:03:20,666
So if Jake Kane is my biological father...

41
00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:23,666
...that information
is gonna be worth millions.

42
00:03:23,833 --> 00:03:29,000
And after what that family
has done to mine, I intend to collect.

43
00:03:34,366 --> 00:03:36,833
- What happened to you?
- It's nothing.

44
00:03:37,033 --> 00:03:40,433
A little collision at home. Now cover
your eyes and give me your hand.

45
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,533
A collision at home? Did you fall
in the garbage disposal?

46
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,600
No, no. Home plate.

47
00:03:46,966 --> 00:03:49,266
- Safe!
- Did you see a doctor?

48
00:03:49,433 --> 00:03:51,566
Honey, it's fine. Chicks dig scars.

49
00:03:51,733 --> 00:03:54,100
Now come on. You gotta see this.

50
00:03:54,266 --> 00:03:57,533
What is your deal? You're jacked up
like some hillbilly kid...

51
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,200
...who just stumbled
into Daddy's meth lab.

52
00:04:00,366 --> 00:04:01,800
Hey, come on.

53
00:04:07,033 --> 00:04:08,433
Sit.

54
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:12,366
- It's a waterbed.
- All right.

55
00:04:12,566 --> 00:04:15,666
Come on, you've wanted one of these
since you were 5 years old.

56
00:04:15,833 --> 00:04:20,333
I also wanted to marry Vanilla Ice and build
the world's largest collection of Z-Bots.

57
00:04:20,933 --> 00:04:25,000
You asked me... No, you begged me for
a waterbed, like, four years in a row.

58
00:04:25,166 --> 00:04:27,933
It was your obsession.

59
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:29,833
It's all coming back to me now.

60
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,500
The way you explained it,
Santa was cool with the basic concept...

61
00:04:33,666 --> 00:04:35,866
...but had doubts
about second-floor deployment.

62
00:04:36,033 --> 00:04:39,966
That well-known bedrock pragmatism
of elvish culture. But I gotta tell you...

63
00:04:40,166 --> 00:04:43,866
...if it had been my call, I would've...
- You're so full of it.

64
00:04:44,233 --> 00:04:47,900
But it is incredibly sweet of you.

65
00:04:48,066 --> 00:04:50,700
- Yard sale, right? Ten bucks, maybe?
- No.

66
00:04:50,866 --> 00:04:55,066
It's okay. You forgot to remove
the masking-tape price-tag sticker.

67
00:04:55,233 --> 00:04:58,500
Besides, our money situation
being what it is...

68
00:04:58,666 --> 00:05:01,133
...I'm glad you didn't blow your wad
on a whim gift.

69
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:04,000
You'll be gladder to know
that I got it as a throw-in...

70
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:06,700
...with some old Gordon Lightfoot LPs.

71
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,300
I love you.

72
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:15,833
Yeah, you too.

73
00:05:18,033 --> 00:05:20,000
Well, anyway...

74
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,300
...sorry it took so long to get
Santa's old dead ass in gear.

75
00:05:24,966 --> 00:05:27,166
- Night, sweetie.
- Night.

76
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,400
He was as well-adjusted a kid
as you could ever wanna meet.

77
00:05:39,566 --> 00:05:42,700
Secure, extroverted, lots of friends
and school activities.

78
00:05:42,866 --> 00:05:45,166
Super popular, super focused.

79
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:47,433
Girlfriends, top grades.

80
00:05:47,633 --> 00:05:49,833
Not into the drug scene,
as far as we could tell.

81
00:05:50,033 --> 00:05:52,700
Definitely not a druggie.
You know, Casey is just...

82
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:56,033
...not the kind of kid
who just up and joins a cult.

83
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,600
Well, it's actually the ones who seem
to have everything that so often...

84
00:05:59,766 --> 00:06:04,100
We know what you're thinking. Spoiled rich
boy, raised in the soulless lap of luxury.

85
00:06:04,266 --> 00:06:07,233
No material whim denied,
no spiritual need met.

86
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:14,066
Six weeks ago, Casey kisses me goodbye
and drives to school, same as always...

87
00:06:14,233 --> 00:06:16,966
...but he never comes home.
- He's gone off to live...

88
00:06:17,133 --> 00:06:20,600
...at some place called the
Mooncalf Collective and, basically:

89
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,366
"Thanks for all you've done, guys,
but I can take it from here. "

90
00:06:24,566 --> 00:06:26,466
- The Porsche.
- That's right, the Porsche.

91
00:06:26,633 --> 00:06:31,066
He sold his Boxster
and gave all the money over to the cult.

92
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,066
Look, Mr. Mars, here's what we need...

93
00:06:34,233 --> 00:06:37,600
...and what we're prepared
to pay handsomely for you to do.

94
00:06:37,766 --> 00:06:39,733
- Thank you, Mr. Mars.
- You're welcome.

95
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,300
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

96
00:06:47,133 --> 00:06:48,466
Now what?

97
00:06:48,633 --> 00:06:52,033
I'm trying to draw a blood sample.
Our health teacher said she'll give...

98
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,966
...extra credit for anyone taking
a self-administered HIV test.

99
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:58,433
I ordered this thing online...

100
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,466
...but I am seriously punking
on this finger stick.

101
00:07:01,766 --> 00:07:03,500
This is so endearing.

102
00:07:03,666 --> 00:07:08,933
My badass, action-figure daughter is afraid
to draw a teensy little drop of blood.

103
00:07:09,933 --> 00:07:13,666
You know, if you really were
a good father...

104
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,266
...you'd let me draw some of your blood
for the test.

105
00:07:17,433 --> 00:07:20,666
Nobody will know the difference.
Besides, you've been sexually active.

106
00:07:20,833 --> 00:07:23,000
- I haven't.
- Oh, for crying out loud.

107
00:07:23,166 --> 00:07:25,800
You're serious about this, aren't you?

108
00:07:25,966 --> 00:07:27,533
Let me have that.

109
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,766
You wuss.

110
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:33,600
So those are the parents of Casey Gant.
Do you know him?

111
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,500
Unfortunately, yeah.

112
00:07:35,666 --> 00:07:39,266
He's just another slice off the loaf
of shallow, vapid...

113
00:07:39,433 --> 00:07:42,833
...pain in the ass 09erdom.
- Well, despite your assessment...

114
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,333
...his parents are still a little irked
about his decision to run off and join a cult.

115
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,233
He joined a cult?

116
00:07:49,966 --> 00:07:53,200
What do they worship?
Wedgies? Keggers?

117
00:07:53,366 --> 00:07:56,000
- Their parents' platinum cards?
- Doesn't matter.

118
00:07:56,566 --> 00:07:59,166
He's 18, so there's little the law can do.

119
00:07:59,366 --> 00:08:02,833
If we get him back,
the Gants are offering a 5-grand bonus...

120
00:08:03,033 --> 00:08:06,533
...so it's time to focus,
like the proverbial laser.

121
00:08:06,733 --> 00:08:08,666
Target acquired and locked on.

122
00:08:08,833 --> 00:08:12,466
What they'd be paying us for
is proof of any unlawful activity out there...

123
00:08:12,633 --> 00:08:15,400
...like firearms, drugs, kidnapping.
Anything will work.

124
00:08:15,566 --> 00:08:19,466
All we need is a sound legal basis for the
sheriff's department to shut them down.

125
00:08:19,633 --> 00:08:21,966
- I'm still with you.
- He's a classmate of yours.

126
00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:25,133
Maybe you can find something
that'll shed some light.

127
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:27,566
His parents say
he's still showing up at school.

128
00:08:27,733 --> 00:08:31,766
For a $5000 bonus
I'll get you his genetic code.

129
00:08:31,933 --> 00:08:36,033
Veronica, do not, under pain of slow,
agonizing death...

130
00:08:36,233 --> 00:08:39,566
...even think about going
to the compound yourself.

131
00:08:39,733 --> 00:08:45,066
I'll run the title search, do the background
check, take the recon shots, all of that...

132
00:08:48,733 --> 00:08:50,066
Got you, Frenchy.

133
00:08:57,333 --> 00:09:00,366
Okay, so there's no
health-class extra credit.

134
00:09:00,533 --> 00:09:04,733
There is, however, an online company
that does paternity testing.

135
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:09,533
I need to know, without a doubt,
who my father is.

136
00:09:14,266 --> 00:09:16,433
- Hey.
- I am not ready to face Duncan.

137
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,100
Too many sweet memories
have become chilling what-ifs.

138
00:09:27,366 --> 00:09:29,133
Hacky sack?

139
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:32,633
The final arena of unquestioned
white domination.

140
00:09:33,866 --> 00:09:36,166
- New crush?
- Hardly.

141
00:09:36,333 --> 00:09:37,766
That's Casey Gant.

142
00:09:37,933 --> 00:09:42,166
He sold his Porsche, joined a cult
and took up hacky sack.

143
00:09:42,366 --> 00:09:44,500
He looks normal enough.

144
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:46,866
Not if you knew him before.

145
00:09:48,466 --> 00:09:51,733
"The prisoners pray
when they're on death row.

146
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:53,833
Hear the angels sing.

147
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,766
The junkie cries for love,
but it's all run out. "

148
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,633
Go on, Eli.

149
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:04,433
"When the angels sing
the sins of the world...

150
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,933
...and it's cold on the streets
when you're alone...

151
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,266
...and the tears, they start to fall...

152
00:10:09,433 --> 00:10:12,766
...when it all comes down,
hear the angels sing. "

153
00:10:13,966 --> 00:10:17,000
Casey Gant, you can learn good manners
or go see Mr. Clemmons.

154
00:10:18,033 --> 00:10:19,800
Eli, it's amazing work.

155
00:10:19,966 --> 00:10:22,833
- You're doing great.
- Miss, that's not original poetry.

156
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,433
That's a Social Distortion song.

157
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:28,533
Is that true, Eli?

158
00:10:34,966 --> 00:10:37,366
I know who will give me
all the dirt I want.

159
00:10:37,533 --> 00:10:39,466
- Who?
- His ex-girlfriend.

160
00:10:39,633 --> 00:10:42,733
I'm as clueless as anyone
about this trip he's on.

161
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:48,000
I mean, one day he's totally cool
and the next he's, like, alien lobotomy boy.

162
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,900
- Any explanation?
- Nothing that made a bit of sense.

163
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:55,266
Just a lot babbling about
"renouncing the toxic death style...

164
00:10:55,433 --> 00:10:57,566
...of a late-stage capitalist society"...

165
00:10:57,733 --> 00:11:01,066
...and "un-remembering
the consumer siren song. "

166
00:11:01,233 --> 00:11:04,533
I think composting came up too, once.

167
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:08,566
It was just so bizarre.
I mean, I had to cut him loose.

168
00:11:08,733 --> 00:11:10,900
Did he talk about any new friends
he'd made...

169
00:11:11,066 --> 00:11:14,000
...before he starting weirding out,
I mean.

170
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,000
No, but...

171
00:11:17,233 --> 00:11:18,866
...you know what?

172
00:11:19,866 --> 00:11:23,600
I think he's got something going on
with Miss Mills.

173
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,100
- You mean, like sexually?
- Yeah.

174
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:29,833
It got to where they were
doing everything together.

175
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,633
He even started working
for the literary magazine.

176
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,166
This is the same guy who's been
downloading every writing assignment...

177
00:11:36,333 --> 00:11:40,933
...since the seventh grade. He used to think
Cliff Notes were for the intellectual poseurs.

178
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,266
There's no way they're not getting it on.

179
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,766
How to get in tight
with the lit mag crowd.

180
00:11:46,933 --> 00:11:49,100
I've got it. Become one of them.

181
00:11:49,266 --> 00:11:51,900
The attributes and style
of crap teen poetry:

182
00:11:52,066 --> 00:11:54,333
Must be written in a funky color of ink.

183
00:11:54,533 --> 00:11:57,066
Must include dominant themes
of alienation...

184
00:11:57,266 --> 00:12:00,466
...sexual ambivalence,
self-loathing, death, et cetera.

185
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:08,333
Dad, you're en ex-cop.
You know gangland enforcer types.

186
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,333
Can't someone intimidate
the maintenance supe to fix...

187
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:15,600
...the hot water problem?
- He swears he's putting new copper pipes...

188
00:12:15,766 --> 00:12:17,733
...new 5000-gallon tank, the works.

189
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:21,733
That nimrod has been feeding us
the same line for five months.

190
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:23,800
Just try to tough it out.

191
00:12:24,766 --> 00:12:29,766
Hey, if we get that 5-grand bonus,
maybe we can go look for a new place.

192
00:12:33,066 --> 00:12:35,133
10:05, ladies and gents.
Time to get cracking.

193
00:12:35,333 --> 00:12:39,966
Hope y'all have those editorial content
analyses I assigned last week. Everybody?

194
00:12:40,133 --> 00:12:43,600
Okay, then. Let's break into groups of four
and start comparing notes.

195
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:56,933
Can you feel the love?

196
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:02,900
Hey, Veronica.

197
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,700
Miss Mills, what's up?

198
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:08,333
I read the poem you submitted
for the literary journal.

199
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:11,300
- "I Cut Because I Can. "
- Oh, yeah.

200
00:13:11,466 --> 00:13:15,700
There are a bunch I thought about
submitting, but that one seemed more...

201
00:13:15,866 --> 00:13:18,866
...I don't know,
relevant to where I am now.

202
00:13:19,033 --> 00:13:21,533
So are you gonna publish it?

203
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,600
You have a very
unique outlook, Veronica.

204
00:13:24,766 --> 00:13:28,766
If you ever feel like sharing, there's a place
where you're always welcome to do so.

205
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:30,466
We're kind of like family.

206
00:13:30,633 --> 00:13:33,766
Yeah, I have some friends who work
on your literary magazine...

207
00:13:33,966 --> 00:13:36,966
...and they say it's really cool.
- I'm talking about the folks...

208
00:13:37,166 --> 00:13:40,700
...out at the Mooncalf Collective.
That's where I live.

209
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:43,233
Something tells me
you'd really enjoy visiting.

210
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,133
You know, if you'd like,
I could even take you out there today.

211
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:49,833
- How's that sound?
- So Miss Mills lures kids...

212
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,766
...out to cult headquarters?

213
00:13:51,933 --> 00:13:54,066
That sounds...

214
00:13:54,233 --> 00:13:56,000
...great.

215
00:13:56,633 --> 00:13:58,333
I'm ready to go whenever you are.

216
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:01,166
Wait. What did Dad say
about going out there?

217
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:10,966
Come on over.

218
00:14:12,966 --> 00:14:14,766
This is all so amazing.

219
00:14:14,933 --> 00:14:17,733
I feel like I'm on a movie set
or something.

220
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:20,000
Thank you so much for inviting me,
Miss Mills.

221
00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:22,033
Oh, around here, I'm just Holly.

222
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,533
And as far as you can see is all ours.

223
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:27,333
You should wander around later,
get a feel for the place.

224
00:14:27,666 --> 00:14:31,566
Just stay out of the barn.
You do not wanna go in there, trust me.

225
00:14:31,733 --> 00:14:33,900
Hey, way to throw me
off your trail, Holly.

226
00:14:34,066 --> 00:14:37,233
"Wander freely? Don't go in the barn,
whatever you do "?

227
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,866
Maybe I should play this needy,
despondent waif card more often.

228
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:42,700
Come meet my man.

229
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:47,133
Well, really, he kind of belongs
to all of us.

230
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:53,666
Hey.

231
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,600
Forbidden barn? Check.

232
00:15:02,766 --> 00:15:04,666
Implied polygamy? Check.

233
00:15:04,833 --> 00:15:07,466
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a cult.

234
00:15:07,633 --> 00:15:10,700
Veronica, this is Josh.

235
00:15:10,866 --> 00:15:12,433
Hey there.

236
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,366
Hi.

237
00:15:15,833 --> 00:15:19,366
Help. I knew I should have included
a few discreet lesbian overtones...

238
00:15:19,566 --> 00:15:21,333
...in that poem.

239
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,133
Hey, Veronica.

240
00:15:24,666 --> 00:15:27,433
I heard you were coming,
but I had to see to believe.

241
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:32,366
Yeah, I don't blame you.
This is off my beaten path a bit.

242
00:15:34,266 --> 00:15:37,100
It makes sense that you'd wind up here
sooner or later.

243
00:15:37,266 --> 00:15:38,800
- Yeah.
- Cool.

244
00:15:38,966 --> 00:15:43,533
I'm sure I'll be seeing a lot more of you,
and I'll catch up with you later, okay?

245
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,633
Veronica, it's only a few hours
till dinnertime.

246
00:15:48,833 --> 00:15:50,300
Why don't you stay and join us?

247
00:15:50,933 --> 00:15:54,700
As you can see, the gardens
have really blessed us this year.

248
00:15:54,866 --> 00:15:56,800
Sure, that would be great.
I'm starving.

249
00:15:56,966 --> 00:16:01,933
All I had today was a beef MexiMelt
and some cinnamon crispas.

250
00:16:03,033 --> 00:16:06,766
Those crispas are awesome, aren't they?
Frankly, I'd give my body to anybody...

251
00:16:06,933 --> 00:16:09,466
...for one of those Choco Taco
ice cream desserts.

252
00:16:09,633 --> 00:16:13,733
Believe it or not, I think we can raise
the culinary bar a bit higher.

253
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:16,700
As you can see, we get a lot done
through teamwork.

254
00:16:16,866 --> 00:16:20,800
In fact, if you wanna jump in you're more
than welcome, if you're interested.

255
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,566
Sure. Fair warning, though:

256
00:16:22,766 --> 00:16:24,733
My idea of gourmet cooking...

257
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:28,000
...is sprinkling on some three-year-old
Bac-Os to my microwave soup.

258
00:16:29,133 --> 00:16:33,100
Yeah, same here, actually, but most of us
are just grunt workers anyways.

259
00:16:33,266 --> 00:16:37,500
We find our satisfaction in realizing
the visions of Chef Django here.

260
00:16:38,833 --> 00:16:40,866
Secret ingredient's love.

261
00:16:43,933 --> 00:16:46,000
I'm Rain. Glad to meet you.

262
00:16:46,166 --> 00:16:48,566
Veronica. Likewise.

263
00:16:48,733 --> 00:16:51,333
So this thing you're doing
seems easy enough...

264
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:56,166
...even I can do it. Where do I start?
- Actually, I'm just about done here...

265
00:16:56,366 --> 00:16:59,200
...but I'll hook you up with a job
that's a little more fun.

266
00:17:02,033 --> 00:17:04,000
That's a good girl, Isis.

267
00:17:06,033 --> 00:17:07,466
See, Veronica?

268
00:17:07,633 --> 00:17:10,300
It's pretty easy
once you get the rhythm down.

269
00:17:17,433 --> 00:17:19,800
Easy for you, but I'm not
getting a freaking drop.

270
00:17:19,966 --> 00:17:21,400
She may be a little nervous.

271
00:17:21,566 --> 00:17:23,666
Are you nervous, sweetie?

272
00:17:23,833 --> 00:17:27,866
Okay. Got the youngest Moonie away
from the herd. Time to dig up dirt.

273
00:17:28,066 --> 00:17:30,633
You can tell I learned all I know
about country life...

274
00:17:30,833 --> 00:17:32,900
...from Dr. Quinn,
Medicine Woman reruns.

275
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:35,766
- What do you mean?
- Well, for example...

276
00:17:35,933 --> 00:17:42,066
...I was under the assumption that milking
takes place in, you know, a barn.

277
00:17:42,866 --> 00:17:44,566
Yeah, sometimes, I guess.

278
00:17:44,733 --> 00:17:48,466
But I don't think
there's any hard, fast rule, though.

279
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:52,266
So Josh is cool, huh?

280
00:17:52,433 --> 00:17:54,333
He's kind of sexy.

281
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:56,133
Really?

282
00:17:56,733 --> 00:18:00,233
I hadn't really noticed.
But you're right, he's a great guy.

283
00:18:00,433 --> 00:18:02,600
You're really gonna enjoy
getting to know him.

284
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,000
I'll bet.

285
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,933
Holly says it's looking like a kick-ass
harvest this year.

286
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:10,133
I don't think I asked what
you guys were growing.

287
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:13,100
I guess you could say
it's the ultimate cash crop.

288
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,833
Yahtzee.

289
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,500
- And what's that?
- I can't even begin to describe it.

290
00:18:19,233 --> 00:18:21,500
But it'll blow your mind.

291
00:18:26,766 --> 00:18:30,466
Enough already with this mellow
"Incense and Peppermints" vibe.

292
00:18:30,633 --> 00:18:32,733
Let's break out the mushrooms
and dance naked.

293
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:36,100
Strap on the goat-skull headgear.
Sacrifice a few infants.

294
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, people, you're cultists.
Start acting like it.

295
00:18:39,366 --> 00:18:41,133
Veronica, over here.

296
00:18:41,833 --> 00:18:43,166
Hey, Mars.

297
00:18:43,333 --> 00:18:45,166
Why don't you come on over here?

298
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:48,566
I feel like I gave you the hit-and-run
treatment earlier.

299
00:18:48,733 --> 00:18:52,300
Wow, it's Bizarro World.
Out here, I'm Miss Popular.

300
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:55,966
I'm serious.

301
00:18:56,533 --> 00:19:00,166
Look, we've been going to classes
together for, what, three years...

302
00:19:00,633 --> 00:19:03,800
...and I don't think
we actually ever really talked.

303
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:07,300
Lately, I feel like
I've been missing out on a lot.

304
00:19:09,766 --> 00:19:11,466
- Okay.
- That was great.

305
00:19:11,666 --> 00:19:14,766
So how was everybody's day?
What's up?

306
00:19:16,466 --> 00:19:18,700
I woke up scared.

307
00:19:19,533 --> 00:19:22,166
I felt like I was in a dream...

308
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:26,000
...of peace and happiness.

309
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:28,500
Do not roll your eyes, Veronica.
You're undercover.

310
00:19:28,900 --> 00:19:30,200
It's strange, isn't it?

311
00:19:30,866 --> 00:19:33,800
How we believe more
in the reality of pain.

312
00:19:33,966 --> 00:19:39,900
Suddenly I realized I was conscious only
of my own voice and delivery. I was like...

313
00:19:40,066 --> 00:19:43,733
I feel you there, brother. I have to
watch out for that all the time myself.

314
00:19:43,933 --> 00:19:45,900
This is scary.

315
00:19:46,066 --> 00:19:49,533
I'm 32 years old and I feel like
I'll never have a better moment than this.

316
00:19:49,733 --> 00:19:53,333
Veronica Mars. Hey, how about a big
Mooncalf welcome for the honored guest?

317
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:54,966
- Yeah.
- All right.

318
00:20:00,666 --> 00:20:03,833
Veronica's a writer, a poet.

319
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,166
She has a unique voice
I think you'd all appreciate.

320
00:20:07,633 --> 00:20:11,800
Would you honor us with the one
you showed me earlier?

321
00:20:11,966 --> 00:20:14,300
I was reading in last month's
Koreshian Bride...

322
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:18,100
...that four out of five cult leaders
like their handmaidens nubile, flighty...

323
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,200
...and teetering on the edge
of a breakdown.

324
00:20:21,366 --> 00:20:23,066
Go for it, Veronica.

325
00:20:24,366 --> 00:20:26,633
I'm sorry. I have to go.

326
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,666
There. That performance should have
them asking me back.

327
00:20:54,066 --> 00:20:56,233
Veronica. You all right?

328
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,066
Oh, God. I'm so sorry, everybody.

329
00:20:59,233 --> 00:21:01,700
I was freaked out
and just wanted someplace to sit...

330
00:21:01,866 --> 00:21:05,166
...and pull myself together before driving.
- It's my fault, Veronica.

331
00:21:05,333 --> 00:21:08,933
I shouldn't have teased you earlier
about the forbidden barn.

332
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:13,433
It's a project we're undertaking. One of our
neighbors was gonna put down Hildegard.

333
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,633
We're nursing her back.

334
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:18,533
Slowly but surely. It's okay.

335
00:21:27,933 --> 00:21:31,600
- You're covered in mud.
- See? That's why you make the big bucks.

336
00:21:32,333 --> 00:21:35,000
So, what did you find out
about my boy Casey?

337
00:21:35,166 --> 00:21:39,766
His ex-girlfriend confirms what his
parents said. He's a full-blooded cultist.

338
00:21:43,266 --> 00:21:44,733
I can't get it out of my mind.

339
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,966
Somewhere in Pennsylvania,
a lab tech is determining if I'm heir...

340
00:21:48,133 --> 00:21:49,600
...to a billion-dollar fortune.

341
00:21:49,933 --> 00:21:52,966
It's not about the money.
It's about making Jake Kane pay.

342
00:21:53,266 --> 00:21:54,766
But if I am an heiress...

343
00:21:54,966 --> 00:21:58,666
...as God is my witness,
I'll never take cold showers again.

344
00:22:01,566 --> 00:22:04,833
Casey? Hey, wait up.

345
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,333
I'm so ashamed of myself
for my meltdown last night.

346
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:10,933
I was a rampaging jackass.

347
00:22:12,933 --> 00:22:14,833
Have you forgotten
who you're talking to?

348
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,633
I'm Casey Gant, okay?
I wrote the jackass bible.

349
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,433
The jackass Koran. The jackass Talmud.

350
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,200
Why don't you come back?
It would mean a lot to me.

351
00:22:25,366 --> 00:22:28,366
If I'm not an heiress,
Dad and I could really use this 5 grand.

352
00:22:28,566 --> 00:22:32,200
And if it means me having to save
this homely boy from cultists, so be it.

353
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,866
Veronica, I can't tell you
how happy I am to see you again.

354
00:22:38,266 --> 00:22:41,366
I guess you can see everyone else
feels the same way.

355
00:22:41,833 --> 00:22:43,100
- Hello.
- Hey, Veronica.

356
00:22:43,266 --> 00:22:46,066
Get your game face on, Mars.

357
00:22:46,233 --> 00:22:48,933
- I'm floored.
- Hey, listen, would you like to join me...

358
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:50,500
...for a walk?

359
00:22:52,966 --> 00:22:57,533
I knew it. This is when the cult leader
claims me as his new bride.

360
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:03,500
I'm not judging you.
I'm saying what you already know.

361
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:06,666
That fake fur was a poor choice
to infiltrate utopia?

362
00:23:06,866 --> 00:23:10,800
You've built a fortress around yourself.
It offers a limited amount of protection.

363
00:23:10,966 --> 00:23:13,966
It also keeps other people
and all they have to offer at bay.

364
00:23:14,133 --> 00:23:19,533
It's starving your soul. Now, you might
wanna consider opening yourself up.

365
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:22,600
- Letting other people inside.
- Let other people inside?

366
00:23:22,766 --> 00:23:26,966
Got anyone particular in mind?
Maybe if I discreetly flash Mr. Taser...

367
00:23:27,133 --> 00:23:28,633
So...

368
00:23:29,433 --> 00:23:31,433
...has anyone told you
what we grow here?

369
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,466
I heard it was the ultimate cash crop.

370
00:23:34,666 --> 00:23:36,366
That it is.

371
00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:41,733
- Impressive, isn't it?
- Aren't these poinsettias?

372
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:44,266
And Christmas is right around the corner.

373
00:23:45,166 --> 00:23:49,100
We never could've finished the greenhouse
if Casey hadn't given us that money.

374
00:23:49,566 --> 00:23:53,966
I wish I wasn't so broke right now.
Otherwise, I'd try to chip in too.

375
00:23:54,133 --> 00:23:56,300
Oh, well, our goal
isn't to be a charity case.

376
00:23:56,466 --> 00:24:00,533
I mean, it's not that we have
anything against money. It's just...

377
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:05,066
...it's kind of like water. Lots of symbolic
power, but really just a lifeless substance.

378
00:24:05,233 --> 00:24:09,466
But the paradox is that life as we know it
would be impossible without it.

379
00:24:09,933 --> 00:24:12,333
- You see what I'm saying.
- You don't want my money...

380
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:15,700
...you don't want my body, you don't
want me working in your ganja fields.

381
00:24:15,866 --> 00:24:18,466
You just want me to be happy. Strange.

382
00:24:40,366 --> 00:24:44,066
Listen up, this is important. We've got
Sal from the County Water Department.

383
00:24:44,266 --> 00:24:48,966
He's here to check for lead, so try not
to use the water for the next 15 minutes.

384
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,833
That's it. I'm dead.

385
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,900
There you are. What the hell
were you thinking, Veronica?

386
00:25:24,066 --> 00:25:28,700
That's gotta be the worst decision I've seen
by someone who wasn't brain-damaged.

387
00:25:28,866 --> 00:25:32,633
Since when do you reserve the right
to totally blow off my instructions?

388
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,633
Does my judgment, my concern for your
safety, carry that little weight with you?

389
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,466
I'm sorry.

390
00:25:38,833 --> 00:25:41,900
Dad, I screwed up bigtime. I know.

391
00:25:42,066 --> 00:25:43,600
Trust me.

392
00:25:43,766 --> 00:25:46,833
I'll be following your game plan
the rest of the way.

393
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,833
They just seemed so harmless.

394
00:25:50,033 --> 00:25:52,233
What is your basis for that call?

395
00:25:52,733 --> 00:25:55,166
The absence of swastikas
engraved on their foreheads?

396
00:25:55,333 --> 00:25:58,133
Please, reassure me that you
aren't that dense.

397
00:25:58,733 --> 00:26:00,700
I'm sorry.

398
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,066
Really.

399
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:10,200
So did you plant any bugs
when you were out there?

400
00:26:10,366 --> 00:26:13,266
- Yes.
- You've been listening in?

401
00:26:13,866 --> 00:26:16,533
- Heard anything incriminating yet?
- Nope.

402
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:19,766
It's like listening to The Brady Bunch
with a reggae soundtrack.

403
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,100
What about your background check on Josh.
Anything shady, out of line?

404
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:30,233
Until four years ago, he was the manager
of a ring development team at E-Tones.

405
00:26:30,433 --> 00:26:33,166
Without warning, he quit his job,
cashed out his stock...

406
00:26:33,333 --> 00:26:35,833
...and used it to buy the land
for the collective.

407
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,300
- Holly's totally clean as well.
- So, what's our next step?

408
00:26:39,466 --> 00:26:41,666
There's no "our" about it.

409
00:26:41,833 --> 00:26:45,100
You are officially off this case.
I'll take it home from here.

410
00:26:45,266 --> 00:26:48,066
What? That makes no sense whatsoever.

411
00:26:48,233 --> 00:26:51,333
- Aren't you interested in what I've learned?
- What's the point?

412
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:54,566
I'm prepared to admit that these
Mooncalves probably don't merit...

413
00:26:54,766 --> 00:26:57,800
...the full ATF fire-bombing treatment.

414
00:26:58,533 --> 00:27:01,733
I mean, my guess is they're just
a bunch of tie-dyed Oliver Twists...

415
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,666
...who scam naive kids to pay the bills.

416
00:27:06,266 --> 00:27:08,433
- Mr. Gant.
- I'm sure you have a lot to report...

417
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,633
...but there's something
you need to know.

418
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,966
Mr. Mars, my mother,
Casey's grandmother, is dying.

419
00:27:15,433 --> 00:27:17,666
She had a severe stroke
on Tuesday night.

420
00:27:17,833 --> 00:27:20,966
She's effectively brain-dead
and not expected to make it...

421
00:27:21,133 --> 00:27:23,166
...more than a couple of days.

422
00:27:23,566 --> 00:27:25,600
- My condolences.
- Thanks.

423
00:27:25,766 --> 00:27:29,733
This has been a tough,
disorienting time for us.

424
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:33,466
Even more so because of something else
we've just learned from her attorney.

425
00:27:33,666 --> 00:27:35,100
What's that?

426
00:27:35,266 --> 00:27:39,533
If she dies, the bulk of her fortune...

427
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,200
...about $80 million, goes to Casey.

428
00:27:44,833 --> 00:27:49,566
We're afraid he's simply gonna
hand it all over to that cult.

429
00:27:49,733 --> 00:27:52,366
I appreciate that information.

430
00:27:52,533 --> 00:27:55,933
I wish I could say that I've found
something that we could nail them on...

431
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:59,433
...but that's not the case.
I mean, not yet, anyway.

432
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,766
You should know that I've seen
no evidence that Casey's in danger.

433
00:28:02,966 --> 00:28:05,200
I'm sorry to contradict you, Mr. Mars...

434
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,366
...but I have substantial experience
with these groups.

435
00:28:08,533 --> 00:28:11,133
The sooner we get him
off of that farm, the better.

436
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:13,933
If your current strategies
aren't working...

437
00:28:15,333 --> 00:28:17,766
...perhaps you should try something new.

438
00:28:17,933 --> 00:28:22,933
Any relevant experience you can share,
I'll be happy to consider it.

439
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:26,066
What's your background anyway,
if you don't mind my asking?

440
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,766
Technically, my field is SMSPI.

441
00:28:29,933 --> 00:28:33,733
Systematic Manipulation
of Social and Psychological Influence.

442
00:28:34,566 --> 00:28:37,866
One vulgar term is "deprogramming. "

443
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,966
No kidding.

444
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:43,100
I've heard of that.
How does that work anyway?

445
00:28:53,333 --> 00:28:55,566
In simple terms...

446
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,300
...I control the elements of a subject's
social and psychological environment...

447
00:29:00,466 --> 00:29:04,266
...to eradicate undesirable
modes of behavior.

448
00:29:04,433 --> 00:29:08,900
I'm then able to instill,
or re-instill, desirable ones.

449
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:12,733
- I'm quite good at my work.
- Yeah.

450
00:29:12,933 --> 00:29:14,466
I bet.

451
00:29:14,666 --> 00:29:18,266
We just want Casey back home again.

452
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:20,433
Soon.

453
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,400
This is a sensitive situation,
and we ask that you proceed accordingly.

454
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:27,500
Of course.

455
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:40,200
Not to sweat you, V,
but when will we see...

456
00:29:40,366 --> 00:29:42,866
...the "FBI Swarms Cult Compound"
headlines?

457
00:29:43,066 --> 00:29:45,233
The case is dead in the water.

458
00:29:45,433 --> 00:29:49,533
We found diddlysquat on the Mooncalves,
and I doubt there's anything to find.

459
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:54,166
Plus, my dad caught me out at the farm,
so now it's seriously off-limits.

460
00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:57,100
- Dang.
- As if that weren't enough...

461
00:29:57,266 --> 00:29:59,866
...I'm doubting the whole rationale
for what we're doing.

462
00:30:00,033 --> 00:30:04,700
Casey... Obnoxious, overbearing,
09er, butthead Casey.

463
00:30:04,866 --> 00:30:07,700
- Has become a really sweet guy.

464
00:30:07,866 --> 00:30:10,666
I think this so-called cult
deserves most of the credit.

465
00:30:10,833 --> 00:30:13,533
Sounds to me like
you've been drinking the Kool-Aid.

466
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:16,466
- I have not.
- You better recognize.

467
00:30:17,066 --> 00:30:19,633
Thank you for being
my own personal Springer audience.

468
00:30:19,833 --> 00:30:22,033
Should I check myself
before I wreck myself?

469
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,733
All I'm saying is,
is you may be getting a little soft.

470
00:30:26,333 --> 00:30:29,533
- Right. And I'm...
- Hey, Veronica.

471
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:33,200
Listen, I've gotta go visit my grandma
in the hospital after school.

472
00:30:33,366 --> 00:30:37,366
- Do you wanna come with me?
- Yeah, sure, Casey. I'd love to.

473
00:30:37,866 --> 00:30:39,533
Good.

474
00:30:42,866 --> 00:30:45,600
Soft. Soft.

475
00:30:47,833 --> 00:30:49,833
It's so hard to see her this way.

476
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,266
Wanna hear something sad?

477
00:30:53,666 --> 00:30:55,066
Sure.

478
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,466
My parents' fortune,
every last nickel of it...

479
00:30:59,633 --> 00:31:02,233
...comes from Grandma's
publishing company.

480
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,400
Mom and Dad had nothing to do with it.
Grandma provided for everything.

481
00:31:06,566 --> 00:31:09,466
Then a couple of years ago
when she started having strokes...

482
00:31:09,633 --> 00:31:11,666
...and started forgetting stuff...

483
00:31:12,566 --> 00:31:16,833
...my parents, who call her
"Grandmonster" behind her back...

484
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,600
...just stopped paying
any attention to her.

485
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:25,266
It's amazing how much better they
treated me once they found out she left...

486
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:27,633
...all her money to me.

487
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,266
So how long have they known
she was willing her money to you?

488
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,400
They've known for a year.

489
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,366
- I wish I could come with you.
- I know.

490
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:01,300
Thanks for spending
all this time with me.

491
00:32:02,433 --> 00:32:06,433
- You know, if you wanted to you could.
- Crazy thing? I do want to.

492
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:31,933
Rain?

493
00:32:46,866 --> 00:32:48,766
That must be good milk.

494
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,666
Recognize her?

495
00:32:54,633 --> 00:32:56,933
That's Rain, one of the girls
from the collective.

496
00:32:57,833 --> 00:33:00,100
Real name, Debbie Meyer.

497
00:33:00,266 --> 00:33:03,266
She's a runaway, a minor.

498
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,000
- We gotta call the Gant family right away.
- Hold it, hold it. Please, Dad.

499
00:33:11,166 --> 00:33:13,466
Let's think about this for a minute.

500
00:33:14,733 --> 00:33:16,700
This is what we're working for.

501
00:33:17,366 --> 00:33:20,366
We were praying for a break,
and now you gave it to us.

502
00:33:20,533 --> 00:33:25,600
Don't tell me having new digs and steady
hot water doesn't sound good to you.

503
00:33:25,766 --> 00:33:27,800
And we can't
just blow this off, Veronica.

504
00:33:27,966 --> 00:33:31,366
They're contributing to the delinquency
of a minor. It's a serious crime.

505
00:33:31,533 --> 00:33:34,966
Oh, please, Dad.
You've been around these people.

506
00:33:35,833 --> 00:33:38,166
Do you honestly think
they're corrupting anyone?

507
00:33:38,333 --> 00:33:40,666
I think they're exactly
what they seem to be.

508
00:33:40,833 --> 00:33:43,466
A bunch of sweet, naive
'60s throwbacks.

509
00:33:43,633 --> 00:33:46,733
That's possibly true,
but definitely beside the point.

510
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:49,800
Even if they are the utopian sweethearts
you think they are...

511
00:33:49,966 --> 00:33:54,300
...we don't answer, morally or otherwise,
to the Mooncalf Collective.

512
00:33:54,933 --> 00:33:57,166
We answer to our clients,
who pay us to do a job.

513
00:33:57,333 --> 00:34:01,100
And that job is to find
the information they want.

514
00:34:09,133 --> 00:34:13,566
Hey, Veronica. Casey told me
you were out at the farm last night.

515
00:34:13,766 --> 00:34:16,300
I wish you could've stayed a while.
It was so beautiful.

516
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:18,900
The moon was so bright
you could almost read by it.

517
00:34:19,066 --> 00:34:22,333
Holly, there's something
you need to know about, right now.

518
00:34:23,633 --> 00:34:28,333
The thing is, I work for my dad,
who's a private detective, okay, and...

519
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,533
Mr. Clemmons just called me
to his office.

520
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:43,866
- My grandma died this morning.
- Oh, Casey.

521
00:35:10,066 --> 00:35:12,600
Josh. Holly.

522
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,733
I've done something I regret.
I found out that Rain was a runaway.

523
00:35:17,933 --> 00:35:19,766
I told my dad about it.

524
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:24,433
- You have to get her the hell out of there.
- It's okay, Veronica. We get the picture.

525
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,900
Everything will be just fine.
We appreciate you being up-front with us.

526
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:32,066
If you'll excuse us.
Come join us later, if you like.

527
00:35:32,233 --> 00:35:35,233
Thanks, Josh. I won't keep him long.

528
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:43,566
I appreciated you being here.

529
00:35:43,733 --> 00:35:48,600
For no reason that I can see,
you've been a real friend to me lately.

530
00:35:49,166 --> 00:35:52,233
Can you really say that
after what I just told you?

531
00:35:52,766 --> 00:35:55,666
I guess I don't think
you were faking the kindness.

532
00:35:55,833 --> 00:35:57,466
Am I wrong?

533
00:36:02,833 --> 00:36:06,433
Well, I guess I'd better go have
this conversation with my parents.

534
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,500
They wanna hear
that I'm not gonna let them starve.

535
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:33,700
Hey, come on, what are you...? Hey.

536
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,733
Hey.

537
00:36:37,766 --> 00:36:39,633
What are you doing to him?

538
00:36:40,633 --> 00:36:42,166
Stop.

539
00:36:43,133 --> 00:36:44,733
Stop.

540
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,666
Dad? We have to call the police.
Casey's just been kidnapped.

541
00:36:53,833 --> 00:36:55,866
What are you talking about?
Kidnapped by who?

542
00:36:56,066 --> 00:36:59,533
By his parents and that creepy guy
that was with them at the last meeting.

543
00:36:59,733 --> 00:37:03,466
They grabbed at the funeral
and shoved him in the limo and drove away.

544
00:37:03,633 --> 00:37:07,733
They grabbed him? So it was against
his will, then? He tried to get away?

545
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:10,433
No, it's not like
he was running from them.

546
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,466
I was kind of far away, but I could tell
he was surprised by what was happening.

547
00:37:14,633 --> 00:37:16,200
Okay.

548
00:37:17,066 --> 00:37:18,300
Okay.

549
00:37:18,466 --> 00:37:22,433
I wasn't there. You saw what you saw.
I'm not doubting your interpretation...

550
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,800
...but if I was still sheriff, and somebody
told me an 18-year-old kid got into a car...

551
00:37:27,966 --> 00:37:30,900
...with his parents
after his grandmother's funeral...

552
00:37:31,266 --> 00:37:35,233
...well, there's nothing I could do about it.
Not for a couple of days anyway.

553
00:37:35,433 --> 00:37:38,566
So let's just hold off,
see what happens, okay?

554
00:37:39,266 --> 00:37:43,000
I wish we hadn't turned over
that information about the collective.

555
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,200
We didn't.

556
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,800
What? You didn't...?

557
00:37:50,733 --> 00:37:54,900
I thought about what you said, what I heard
on the wiretap, and you were right.

558
00:37:55,566 --> 00:37:59,600
Once you get past
all the '60s theme-park trappings...

559
00:37:59,766 --> 00:38:03,233
...that community's a lot more wholesome
and functional than...

560
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,933
...just for example, Neptune is.

561
00:38:08,166 --> 00:38:10,766
I also did a little checking
on Debbie Meyer.

562
00:38:11,366 --> 00:38:13,066
What a life.

563
00:38:14,566 --> 00:38:18,000
Poor kid's been in four foster homes
since she was 8 years old.

564
00:38:18,166 --> 00:38:21,600
Reports of serious abuse in at least two.

565
00:38:21,766 --> 00:38:23,600
I had to admit it.

566
00:38:23,766 --> 00:38:26,233
She's a lot better off where she is.

567
00:38:40,666 --> 00:38:45,800
With each day that passes, I come more
to terms with the question of my paternity.

568
00:38:51,133 --> 00:38:52,933
What's this?

569
00:38:57,266 --> 00:39:00,633
"Free crab Rangoon with purchase
of happy family dinner at Wok 'n' Roll. "

570
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,433
Phat. Don't think
I didn't notice the sacrifice.

571
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,200
My pleasure.

572
00:39:09,533 --> 00:39:12,733
I sent off for those test results
because I wanted the truth...

573
00:39:12,933 --> 00:39:17,733
...but can a lab tech really see the shape of
my soul in a drunken conga line of genes?

574
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:21,766
Jake Kane could be my father,
but whether he is or isn't...

575
00:39:21,933 --> 00:39:26,366
...would I really claim him as such
and deny the man who raised me?

576
00:39:26,533 --> 00:39:27,833
Veronica, wait up.

577
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:30,066
What's up?

578
00:39:36,166 --> 00:39:38,233
Now, that's a sweet ride.

579
00:39:39,633 --> 00:39:41,666
What's up, Veronica?

580
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,633
The DNA test results.

581
00:40:10,266 --> 00:40:11,666
It's my call now.

582
00:40:11,833 --> 00:40:16,266
I can open this letter
and find out if my dad is really my dad.

583
00:40:16,433 --> 00:40:19,866
If he's not, then I'm almost certainly
the daughter of Jake Kane...

584
00:40:20,066 --> 00:40:23,666
...and consequently an heiress.

585
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:55,400
Hey, Dad.

586
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:59,600
Honey, I don't mean to ask
a silly question, but is...?

587
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:03,100
Is it really necessary
that you do that right now?

588
00:41:07,233 --> 00:41:08,700
Yeah.

589
00:41:10,366 --> 00:41:12,633
As a matter of fact, it is.
