Emily?
I told you, no skateboarding without your helmet.
I'm telling you, I'm running late right now.
The wife wants me to move the shower.
Emily?
Emily!
Stop!
No, she doesn't have to approve the plans.
She doesn't even care about the money.
This lady's a friggin' nightmare.
Emily!
Oh, baby.
I'm sorry, mommy.
It's okay, baby.
Everything's okay.
Are you all right?
Yeah. I think so.
Maybe not.
Claire, are you okay? It's fine.
Everything's fine.
Though I might have to bring Emily a little later.
No, mommy. I want to go now.
Are you sure?
I can take you.
No, I want to go to school.
Come on, Emily!
We should get you inside.
Yeah.
I should probably call your client.
Let them know what happened.
That their contractor crashed
On his way out of the gates?
Probably not the best idea.
Well, is there anyone else I can notify?
Wife? Girlfriend?
Neither, actually.
In fact...
This may be the...
Closest I've been to a woman all year.
Well, I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I hope so.
I don't know how much longer I can wait.
Well, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little bit longer,
Because I...
Am married.
Well, the good ones are always taken.
It's funny.
I didn't think you were the type to give up so easily.
What about your husband?
He's out of town.
For how long?
Long enough.
I kind of have a thing for kitchens.
Pretty intimidating gate.
Yeah.
I think that's the point.
The developer, Frank buckley,
Said that no expense would be spared
When it came to security.
The gates were hand-forged in England --
12 feet tall, 11 tons of steel.
They've never been breached.
What about the people trying to get out?
Welcome to the gates. Howdy.
Name, please? Nick Monohan.
Oh. Chief.
We've been, uh, expecting you.
Here is your welcome packet.
Directions to the house, keys, everything you need.
I'm Eddie Barnes, security,
Main gate.
Eddie.
Yes, sir.
Here's my I.D., Eddie.
Future reference, you might want to see that
Before handing over the keys to a house.
Of course. My mistake.
Hi.
I'm Sarah. What my husband means to say
Is "Thank you."
Yeah.
It's okay for the chief of police to be liked.
Oh, I didn't know they had all these little shops.
It's more than just a place to live, mom.
That's their slogan.
I got it.
Looks like a nice little town.
Wow. Is this the right address?
It's huge. Oh, honey.
Look at this place.
Are you sure this is ours?
Look, look!
Nick...
Look at this kitchen!
There's a pool!
And a jacuzzi!
Charlie!
Come here.
Things are gonna be better here.
I promise you.
It's so beautiful.
Come on.
Oh, my...
Nick!
Nick, it's incredible!
Can we swim before school? Come on, dad.
Aah!
How bad could this be?
No graffiti, no metal detectors.
Huh?
You have everything?
Sends more kids to the Ivy league
Than any school in the state.
See you, dad. Love you.
Keep an open mind?
Yeah. Okay?
Okay. All right.
Have fun.
I'll see you later.
Forget everything but o.J.
All part of the vast conspiracy to keep us healthy.
Black and blue.
Morning, sir!
Morning.
Uh, chief. Marcus Jordan.
Marcus. Yes.
I'm leigh. Leigh. Hi.
Where is everyone?
Uh, old chief liked to start just a few of us off
In the mornings.
Oh. And the old chief is...
Retired.
In Mexico.
Couldn't handle the fast pace?
This is a hell of a setup you have here.
Yes, sir.
We monitor the entire perimeter 24/7.
Over 200 infrared-sensitive motion-detecting cameras,
15 kilometers of interlocking
Pressure-triggered ground sensors.
A 50-terabyte redundant stripe raid-5 array
For data processing and storage.
Couple of sweet patrol cars.
Hybrids. Try to stay green.
Wow.
Crime must be nonexistent here.
Almost.
We lost picture on three cameras yesterday
In sector four.
But it's most probably vandalism,
So maintenance is gonna look into it.
Oh, before the camera went down,
It did pick up something of interest, though.
It's not really that interesting.
Actually, it is right here.
Hmm.
Driver okay?
Yeah, he's fine. He walked away.
Actually, we can't really say for sure.
Um, he walked in the Radcliff house,
But this camera went down before he ever came back out.
The vehicle is registered to a contractor,
Mark woodbury, from Franklin.
And, uh, it's gone.
But there's no record of it actually leaving the gates.
All right, call Franklin p.D.,
See if they can track the guy down.
Sir.
Hi.
I'm Claire Radcliff.
Please tell me you eat carbs.
Sorry about the mess. Uh, coffee?
Uh... Tea would be fine.
Or...Whatever you've got.
No, I think I have some in here.
Don't worry about it.
No, you know, it's in one of these. I think...
Sorry.
Things are just a bit, um... Overwhelming?
A big change can be hard sometimes.
You know what? You should go and see peg.
She's a doctor on main street.
She's a little holistic,
But she has herbs for everything --
Even stress.
Yeah.
So, is your husband in one of these boxes?
Uh, actually, he left --
He left for work early this morning.
You know, first day and all?
Oh, I do hope there's enough to keep him busy.
Didn't I read that he was a Detective in Chicago?
Yeah, actually, homicide.
Homicide? Really?
Yeah. I know this is gonna be
kind of an adjustment for him,
But I-I'm really hoping this place will slow him down a bit.
He tends to get caught up in it.
Well, I imagine that all good detectives
Have at least some of that.
Yeah.
Just, unfortunately, he's got a lot of it.
Did anyone notice a unifying theme
To Flannery O'Connor's stories?
Brett, let's kick things off with you.
Um...Well, for one thing, the hero character
Is usually disabled or disfigured...
In some way. Right. I mean,
I think what O'Connor is saying is that
What we see on the surface is not who we are.
Exactly. It's what's beneath the deformity.
The rest, it -- it doesn't matter.
Um, I think there might be more to it.
Excuse me?
Well, you guys have talked about
How O'Connor had lupus, right?
Well I don't know if I'd call lupus a deformity.
Maybe not.
But it is latin for "Wolf."
Because as it attacked healthy cells,
The skin and muscles in the face would thin,
Making its victims look more... Like an animal.
So while some readers might think she was saying
Appearance doesn't matter,
The fact that it's consistent throughout her work
Might indicate that, at least to her,
It mattered very much.
So, you're a pretty smart guy.
Sorry, I was just trying to make my point.
That's okay.
Uh...Is that something you enjoy?
Enjoy?
Take pleasure or delight in.
I know what "Enjoy" Means.
Mm. You evade well.
You'd be good on cross exam.
Am I on trial?
You could be. Mock trial.
I think you should join.
Why? Because...
You're new, and you don't know anyone.
And, uh, it could really help us get to state.
Do you even know my na-- Charlie.
From Chicago. I'm andie.
From Seattle.
Exiled to the gates three years ago.
"Exiled."
Yeah. Um...
After my mom died,
My dad somehow thought it would be best
If I were raised in captivity.
So...
Uh...
Anyway, uh...
One last thing.
Um, all members need to help with the booth,
Uh, for the fair.
We'll be by the football field after school.
See ya.
So, uh, what was that about?
Uh, mock trial. I want him to join.
Uh-huh.
You know he likes you, right?
What?! Shut up.
No, I know the look.
I had it four months ago.
And guess what.
You still do.
Uh-huh.
Okay, thank you.
Chief! Nick: Huh?
Just got off with Franklin p.D.
Missing persons report just got filed
For the owner of that pickup, mark woodbury.
Huh. Son of a gun.
All right, let's go see the Radcliffs.
Claire.
Mm.
Why are you back so early?
Ahh. Well, because one part of being a c.E.O.
That I have not mastered is golf.
And I missed you way too much.
Mm. I missed you, too.
I hate it when you're out of town.
Well, I'm here. I'm home.
Hey, did something happen to the garage door?
It won't open.
It won't?
No.
Uh...
I miss my remote.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
It tastes fine.
I'll get another bottle.
Where is it?
It's in the wine room.
I said he should definitely stop by the hospital.
What hospital was that? County general.
But he said he had another meeting to get to.
Did he happen to mention who he was meeting,
What it was about?
Well, he was a contractor, so I'm guessing maybe...
Another client?
No.
Far as we know, he had no other clients in the area.
You know, I hate to even suggest the possibility,
But, um, if the guy had a concussion,
He could have passed out or something?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's possible.
Are you a doctor, Mr. Radcliff?
No.
No, I've got plenty working for me.
I-I run a biotech company.
Huh.
Well, 99 times out of 100, these missing-person things,
They turn out okay.
We had an agreement.
I know.
Well, then you would know what could happen to Emily
If we are forced to leave the gates.
Adopted little girls, they do not survive out there,
Not with our crowd.
I'm sorry.
Wolfsbane.
Highly toxic to some, harmless to others,
But I usually get it right.
Were you looking for anything in particular?
Uh, actually, I was on my way to see peg for some herbs.
Peg's fantastic.
But I've got teas here that do the same thing
For half the price.
I'm Devon.
I'm Sarah.
Now, why don't we have a seat
And figure out exactly what you need?
That's what I'm talking about, Crezski.
You know, this move would be
a lot easier on the both of us
If you were a football star.
Doesn't seem so hard on you.
Are you really that slow?
I'm masking my true feelings with enthusiasm,
So dad doesn't feel so bad.
You should try it.
Let's go! You're late.
How can I be late when I haven't even joined?
Ah, answering a question with a question.
You're a natural.
I don't mean to rain on your parade or anything,
But it kind of looks like an interrogation room.
Yeah, that's, uh, kind of the point.
You have an actual lie detector?
Not yet, but, uh, Mia's making one.
So, people are gonna pay money to be caught in a lie?
No. People are gonna pay money to catch someone else
In a lie.
And if that someone doesn't want to be caught...
Well, then, uh
...We won't have any customers.
Oh, my God. Uh, please. Uh, do me a favor.
Don't say anything.
It was Mia's idea,
And everyone's really excited about it.
All right, let's line 'em up.
Come on. Get out here.
I want some conviction.
50, seal that edge. Yo, Brett.
Your girl hooking up with the new guy?
45. Don't let them get past you.
No, she wants him for mock trial.
Yeah, she wants him for something.
Crezski, focus!
Get your head in the play!
Set. Hut!
Crezski!
Sorry, coach.
I just
In my office. Now!
Get over here.
You okay, son?
Hey, I heard about what happened at practice!
It's not like you, crezski.
To violate the code.
Yeah, you're one to talk.
So I may not be a model citizen.
But I've never revealed what I am inside the gates.
There's too many around that would kill for privacy.
I know how it works.
Yeah, but you don't know how the pack works.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be with andie.
Look, you want to go, we'll go.
Easy.
We're just trying to help.
You tell him, lukas.
Anyone other than coach turned you around today,
You wouldn't be standing here right now.
I think you should come run with us sometime.
Oh, well, last time I checked,
Running was a violation of the code.
Yeah. Inside the gates it is.
But on the outside...
All bets are off, bro.
You really want to do this.
We got to find the car.
Yeah, but we're not gonna find the car.
You know why? Because the car's not here.
Chief thinks the Radcliffs are hiding something,
And I trust his instincts over yours.
Yeah? Yeah.
You know the chief killed an unarmed guy?
A guy about to go down for rape and for murder.
E-either way, we don't know the circumstances.
My friend in the cook county d.A.'s office does.
Chief goes to bring in the guy for questioning,
Claims he sees him reach for a gun, and shoots.
Department rules it justified,
But the chief still retires.
It's kind of suspicious.
I think we don't know the whole story.
The kids were so cool about it.
I mean, like, three different groups
Invited me to sit at their table.
Ha. Seriously, weren't they like that with you, too, Charlie?
Yeah.
They weren't so bad.
Well, that's good to hear, guys.
Yeah, and I got this welcoming gift from this woman, Devon,
Who has this amazing spa on main street.
That's great, sweetie.
I don't know if the wife of the police chief
Should be accepting gifts.
Well, Nick, sometimes people just give gifts,
And they don't expect anything in return.
Like this lasagna, I don't hear you complaining about,
Was a gift from our neighbor Claire.
Claire radcliff? Yeah. How'd you know?
Well, I interviewed her today for a case I'm working on.
Well, I think she's great.
She couldn't have been more pleasant.
I thought the same
Until her husband started answering questions for her.
And that makes them suspects?
No. It does make me suspicious.
Good evening.
A little treat for my favorite officer.
Thank you, Mrs. Radcliff.
What's the occasion?
Trying a new recipe.
Thanks. You drive safe, now.
What happened?
It has to look like wolves.
I hope it was worth it.
Our missing man just drove out of the gates.
I don't know how this happened, sir.
I never fall asleep.
Maybe I ate too much.
You ate too much?
Police all over the state are looking for this guy,
And that's your answer? You ate too much.
In my defense, sir,
I don't think anyone could eat
One of Mrs. Radcliff's cookies and not have 10.
Claire radcliff gave you cookies?
Got it right here.
Yeah. She did that every now and then.
You know, holidays and stuff.
Last Christmas, she made these incredible snickerdoodles.
Wait, wait, wait.
Rewind it to before she comes into frame.
Slow, slow, slow.
Stop!
Right there.
You see that?
She's looking for the camera.
Let's get a search warrant on the Radcliffs, okay?
Who's the covering d.A.?
Uh, I will check on that.
Don't tell me you never drew up a warrant before.
Well, old chief was very...
Respectful of the residents' privacy.
That's the old chief who's retired in Mexico, right?
Get me the warrant.
So, you're really going through with this?
Mia's committed,
And, uh, in the event that we do get a customer,
We need to know the lie detector works.
Couldn't you just get one of your mock-trial buddies?
Well, you know what, it works best
If the operator and subject are unfamiliar with each other.
And why's that?
Well, because the effect that lying has on the body
Is similar to other types of emotional response.
So...
Here we go.
Is your name Charlie Monohan?
Yes.
Okay, Charlie, do you like prunes? Yes.
Uh, y-you were supposed to answer "No."
Well, I mean, so I could see a difference
Between a yes and a no.
Oh. Uh, okay.
I hate prunes.
It really works.
Great. So we're done.
Uh, no. No, we're not done.
And why are you so nervous?
I'm not nervous. Uh...
The machine disagrees, and your heart rate's up.
Yeah, because I'm late for class, man.
I gotta go.
This is ridiculous!
I mean, like you said before,
It picks up on all sorts of other stuff.
Oh, other emotions.
Am I making you nervous?
No.
Uh, y-you know what?
You're right.
This machine is all over the place,
And no one's gonna come to the booth anyway,
So, uh, thanks.
Did something happen with the new guy?
What? Uh...No.
We were just testing the lie detector.
Oh, you seemed upset. Did he say something to you?
No.
Brett?
Brett, are you - you're lying to me.
Hello?
Hey, you okay in there?
What's up?
I thought I heard something break, so I...
Yeah, it was like this when I came in.
So...
How you like this place?
I'm...Figuring it out.
Good.
So I guess you "Figured out" That andie and I are together.
Good. Stay on that.
Ah, Mr. Buckley.
I meant to be here yesterday to meet your family,
But I got stuck on our expansion out in Seattle.
No problem.
So how's the house?
They finish the landscaping out by the pool? Just about.
Good, good, good.
So I understand the, uh, missing person
Just drove out of here last night.
Well, possibly. We haven't been able to identify
Who was actually driving the car.
Well, it looks like we need more cameras at the gate.
I mean, we can't go searching people's homes
Every time we screw up.
Actually it's the d.A. Who decides if we can search a house or not.
Look, Nick. Uh... When I built the gates,
It attracted all sorts of people,
And the one thing that they all had in common is that,
for one reason or another, they just didn't feel safe.
Now, they're willing to pay a premium...
To have a place that they can come home to at night
And feel protected from the dangers of the outside world.
Well, I understand that. I do.
But what if the problem's on the inside?
We both know you don't answer to me.
You answer to the town council.
And I explained to them,
After what happened in Chicago,
That your approach here was gonna be more cautious.
Now, that's the police chief they're expecting.
I didn't misrepresent you, did I?
Not at all.
Good.
I'll have those landscapers out to your house this afternoon.
Appreciate it. All right.
You alone?
I was.
You know why I'm here.
A facial, perhaps?
She's the police chief's wife.
And in one simple Twist of fate,
She walked through my door instead of yours.
You lured her in.
Just like all your other clients.
Devon, we are supposed to help people with their problems,
Not exploit them.
Peg, I owe you the world.
When Frank and I divorced, you were the only one
Who saw me as more than buckley's wife.
You saved me.
You taught me to empower myself through the craft,
And I will never forget that.
But I'm not your pupil anymore.
And unlike you,
My clients aren't complaining about anything I do.
Because they have no idea what your tea is doing to them.
Oh, peg.
I do think you worry too much.
May I suggest a little lotus root?
I'll get it. I'll get it.
This is Nick.
Hey, we just got the fax.
Search warrant's been denied.
Insufficient evidence.
Sorry, chief.
Okay, leigh. Thanks.
What was that about?
It's nothing.
I'll set the table.
That's a good way to get shot.
Well, I believe you're the one trespassing.
We got reports of a prowler.
A prowler?
In the gates.
Probably some kid, but we had to check it out.
Please.
This way.
The side gate's locked.
The chief of police.
We can't do this anymore.
I'm gonna pack you a bag. You're leaving.
I'll stop.
Oh, really?
What, like last time and the time before last?
You don't know how hard this is for me.
How is this hard?
I get us all the blood we need from the lab.
It's not about the blood!
It's about the car pools and the school committees
And the dinner parties and the book clubs!
No matter how hard I try,
I'm never gonna assimilate like you want me to.
Not with these...
People.
I know you're struggling. Okay?
But we have to try.
Because there is a little girl upstairs
Who is counting on you and me
To be here when she wakes up,
To love her and to protect her and to be her family.
Now, if you can't do that for her, then I will.
You always blame me.
You never take responsibility.
Never.
You did this to me.
You made me who I am.
Where were you?
I was on patrol.
00 in the morning?
Please tell me this has nothing to do with the Radcliffs.
My instincts tell me that there's something going on
With those people.
Your instincts nearly cost us everything.
That's not fair.
I'm sorry, but you weren't the only one
Who suffered through the past year.
I know. Yeah?
Every time that case was in the paper,
Your kids had to go to school. I know.
Then act like you know it.
Act like you know what we went through.
Our fear.
The worry.
Not knowing if you and I were even gonna make it.
Nick, you promised.
You said this was our second chance.
Now, we've got a beautiful home
And kids who actually seem to like it so far,
But it's not gonna work until you understand
That you are not just a cop.
You're a husband, and you are a father, too.
The Bianchis called again about book club.
It's every Thursday night. Once a month.
They're starting with "Middlesex."
I think it would be a good way for me to keep busy.
Well, I think that's a great idea.
Lie detector here.
Is she really satisfied?
Does he honestly like that outfit?
Find out the truth! $5!
Come on.
What do you think?
We're not gonna make a dime.
Hey.
Can we talk for a second?
Look...
I didn't mean to freak you out yesterday. It's just...
I didn't want to leave Chicago,
And I really didn't want to come here.
And the one thing that's been cool about all this is...
Well, is you.
Now...
Now I know where you are,
And Brett made it clear how he feels about you,
And the last thing I want to do
Is get in the middle of anything.
Well, you kind of already have.
I know, but what I'm trying to say is that...
I don't want whatever that lie detector may have picked up on
To make you feel like you have to keep avoiding me,
So just -- Charlie!
L-listen.
Look, I...
I didn't freak out because...
Because of how you feel about me. I...
I freaked out because of how I might...
of how I might feel about you.
What am I doing?
Hey, Monohan.
Hey, I didn't think you could make it!
I wouldn't miss it.
Is everything okay?
I closed the radcliff case.
Really? Really.
Hi, peg.
Claire. Is everything all right?
I'll stop by the office tomorrow,
But is there anything you could suggest in the meantime for...
Cravings?
They can be a real bitch, huh?
And so can you.
We can discuss this later.
I think it's a little more urgent.
Jessica Cooper saw you put that contractor's truck in your garage.
Don't worry. I helped her forget, but...
Who knows how long that will last?
I could end you...
And you would never see it coming. Claire.
But that wouldn't really solve your problem.
Now, would it?
Let's go, Claire.
Enjoy the fair.
Charlie!
So, uh...
So...
I...I really...
Am not very good at this. I...
You know, I'm not - I'm not good at it, either.
I wasn't sure where you wanted to meet.
It's just easier. Someplace more private.
What was that?
I have no idea. I...
We should get out of here. Yeah.
No.
Not like this.
Monohan.
They said there's a vehicle right up here.
You got an I.D.?
Uh, John Doe for now.
But maybe he's your guy.
Nope.
Not our guy.
Oh, my God.
What?
That's Phelps.
That's our old chief.
