Not a single thing.
- What do we do? - Police line.
No one goes in or out.
But there are other entrances.
Just make it look good.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
How are you, Mrs. Denning?
We haven't found him.
Not him, not the others.
Our town has been dead for six years.
At first, we blamed the closing of the mine,
the lack of jobs,
the lack of money,
the lack of everything.
But then, we had much worse to blame,
for something had come to Cold Rock.
Something bad
that was destroying our town even more.
That morning, nobody knew the Cold Rock case was reaching its conclusion.
Don't drink out in the street, Crawley.
What street?
Julia!
Julia! Some help here, please!
What happened?
I don't know. She just started screaming
all of a sudden, out of nowhere.
How long has she been like this?
I don't know.
Oh, my God!
You didn't know?
I'm not equipped for this, Tracy.
Push! Yes. You're doing it. You're doing it.
Good, good. Now when the contraction comes again,
push where you feel my fingers, okay?
Push where my fingers are. Down, push deep and down.
Push.
Good, push. Push. You're doing it. You're doing it.
You're doing it. Very good, very good.
Now do it again.
Come on. There you go.
Here it comes, here it comes.
Good girl. That's it.
Okay.
Okay, it's breech, which means the feet are coming first,
but it's fine. It's fine.
- I just need you to push really, really hard. - Yes, you can.
- Really big push for me. - Come on, let's go.
Push. Push, Carol!
You did it. There it is. There it is. You did it.
Why is there no sound?
The baby's fine. It's good. It's good.
Take her out. Take her out!
Good work. Good work. That is my girl.
You did such a good job.
- But the baby... - I know, honey...
Julia is going to take very good care of him.
I promise you. I promise.
Come on, baby. Come on, wake up.
Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Come on.
Take a breath. Take a breath.
You can make it. You can make it.
Come on. Breathe. Come on, now. Breathe.
Breathe. Breathe for me. Come on.
Come on.
Okay. Come on.
Breathe.
You can do this. Come on, come on. You can make it.
Open your eyes. Open your eyes.
Okay.
There you are. There you are.
Hello.
It's a big boy.
No hospital, Julia.
He needs monitoring, Tracy.
No. No way.
Steven.
That bastard never made a secret of the fact he likes my girls.
He's always parading around in front of them like a rooster,
bare-chested and cocky with those stupid cowboy boots.
Always showing them things and teaching them this and that
and Carol falling for all of it.
Did you realize?
No! God, no.
If I had, I would have shot him, bang-bang. Goodbye, cowboy.
Get rid of him.
This is nobody else's business, Julia, but ours.
No hospital.
They won't ask any questions.
No, we won't go. I won't put Carol through that shame.
She's not even 18.
We take care of our own problems, okay?
In Cold ROCK,
sometimes children were born when they were not wanted.
People just managed,
and they didn't go hollering it from the rooftops.
It may have been a bit sad, but it was just good sense.
Because a lot worse things were happening
when it came to the children.
Wanted or not,
boys and girls, some of them just disappeared.
Something had come to Cold Rock that was taking the children.
Something so menacing,
so terrifying,
that the people finally gave it a name.
She was in her room,
a few minutes earlier
and I came back and...
And she was gone. She was just gone.
There wasn't a sound. There was no screaming.
There was nothing. I just... I went outside and he was gone.
I just wish. .. I just wish I could have been there.
I couldn't believe it. I looked up and down the street.
I couldn't see her anywhere. I panicked.
And all I could think of was the Tall Man.
I think he's the Devil.
What kind of people take people's kids?
You're talking about the Tall Man?
No, that's a myth. There's no Tall Man.
He exists.
The only Tall Man I've ever is seen is the one
the kids built of that scarecrow over there.
If this was a rich town, we'd have the whole army here looking for those kids.
I saw him two times, going into the forest at night time.
It was right there like he was trying to avoid the bridge.
It's such a big place.
We've got so many places for someone to hide.
What're you talking about? What else could it be?
Of course it's a child molester.
The kind of asshole who really hurts the kids, you know?
All I'm saying is...
Well, what you say is bullshit, Chestnut.
It's not the bogeyman or the Devil
or any of that old wives' tale crap.
Tall man, my ass.
The guy's got a name and he'll shit himself like anyone else
when we drag him to the chair.
You know about a lot of things, don't you, Douglas?
Give me another hit there, Beth.
I was sitting back there listening to you tell us your...
Your life story.
Yeah, well, all I'm sayin' is,
you aren't here to catch a ghost, right?
Noted.
I'm just making conversation.
I hear that.
Cheers. Cheers!
Yeah.
Ladies. Gents.
The dark knight is back.
Arrived this morning. He's already on his fourth cup of coffee.
Short black, no sugar.
Well, he's got to sit up all night in his car.
Hi, guys.
- Hey. - Hi, Julia.
He's going to start messing about,
making his bullshit rounds and all that for what?
You mean Dodd?
I mean Sherlock Holmes.
Yeah, like clockwork.
The last kid disappeared two months ago.
Won't be long before the next one goes.
Dodd's back on the trail.
What difference will that make, huh, Julia?
This town's already finished.
Yeah, I guess everyone's feeling pretty down.
Tell me about that.
- Mrs. Johnson. - She's gone.
Oh, I haven't seen her in weeks.
Sweet Jesus! She looks even worse than before.
She wouldn't mind a cup of coffee.
She wouldn't mind a winning lottery ticket.
For you, Mrs. Johnson, from Trish.
Don't you want it?
I think it might do you some good.
Whoa!
I know I might have blacked out last night
celebrating the birth of my baby boy
but I know I didn't order up no nurse.
Good morning to you too, Steven.
What the hell you doin' here?
Just picking up the pieces.
Really? And who do you think you are?
I know who I am.
And what the fuck that's supposed to mean?
I'm talking to ya.
What? What, do you want to hit me too?
Stay out of our business. I really care about Carol.
I know. Like you care about your bike.
I don't like your style.
Now, may he rest in peace,
your husband left behind some pretty big shoes to fill.
After all, he was a doctor, you're just a nurse.
Stick to changing diapers and get off my back.
- Hey, Tracy. - Hey.
- Come on in and take a seat. - Thanks.
So how is that sweet boy?
Oh, it's okay actually. I sent them away to my sister's in Seattle.
She's got a big house and you know, they're close to everything
and they're just kind of better off.
Carol's in no shape to travel, Tracy.
Yeah, but they made it there fine.
Okay, Julia, look, I still got to make a living, okay?
I got a job interview in Kaslo in 45 minutes.
Good pay, good job, good tips.
I can't be here all day to help Carol, okay? You gotta understand me.
Yeah, I get it.
No, you know what? I gotta hold on, Julia.
No, honestly. Honestly, Trace, I understand.
You want me to make you some coffee or something?
He's still here?
Yeah. You got to give me some time with that, okay?
It's not so simple. He's... He's kinda hard to handle.
But trust me, you just got to let me handle this.
What about Jenny?
Hey.
Your mom went to Kaslo.
Ta-da.
You haven't been doing your speech therapy, have you?
Okay.
I'm here now.
So... Speak.
Why are you always hiding behind all this hair?
You're so pretty.
So, you believe it too?
It was like an ancient legend.
Something from a book of fairy tales
or an old song.
Everyone talked about the Tall Man all the time
because everyone was afraid of him.
People were always afraid he'd strike again
and when he did,
they'd thank their lucky stars he took someone else's kid.
Maybe they felt a little guilty thinking that way,
but that feeling didn't last long.
For everyone's got their problems to deal with.
It's not just good or bad,
it's just the way it is.
- Hey. - Hi.
- Done for today? - Yeah.
- Oh, there's some more groceries in the car. - Okay.
Hey, is everything okay?
Yeah, he's been looking forward to you getting home.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Yes?
Hey, sweetheart.
That's a beautiful song.
Oh.
So, Christine told me you missed me today.
Uh-huh.
Well, I missed you too.
What did you do all day?
We made a baking soda volcano.
- And you made it erupt? - Yeah.
How did you do that?
You put, um, baking soda and then we put vinegar
and then it exploded everywhere.
Whoa!
Oh, guess what we're having for dinner tonight?
- What? - Brussels sprouts.
Ew!
Hey guys! Dinner in half an hour.
Okay.
Whoo!
Whoa, what's that?
That's a gorilla.
Where does he live?
He lives in um... Australia.
Think so? Maybe he could live in the jungle somewhere.
This fish can live in our moat and he can patrol our waters.
- Yeah. - So no one can come by
and he'll eat everybody.
Bombs!
Do the number trick. Number trick.
I taught him a number trick. Watch.
- Think of a number. - Okay.
Double it.
Wait, wait, wait. That's too fast.
Okay, think of a number.
- Double it. - Okay.
Add on six.
Okay.
Halve it. That means cut it into half.
Take away the first number you thought of.
And your answer is three.
I know! I know!
- It works every time. - Yeah.
Okay, buddy.
There you go.
Do you still have to go to work tomorrow?
Yeah.
But I'll try not to finish too late.
Can we play together again when you get home?
I promise.
Good night, David.
So, what did you guys do today?
Oh, it's not what we did, it's what he asked.
What did he ask?
- Brought up the "T" word. - Oh.
- Television. - Yeah.
What did you say?
Well, I said it was an evil brainwashing tool
used by big corporations to corrupt the peoples.
- Good one. - Thanks.
He did ask me to buy one to watch cartoons.
And how'd you respond?
I chose to ignore the question.
Right. Of course.
I saw Tracy today.
The baby?
Shipped off to Seattle.
- Typical. - Mmm-hmm.
I saw Steven too.
He informed me how shitty I was compared to my husband.
Yeah. Figures.
It's just weird. They just... They... They...
They just feel like they own a part of him or something.
That's what he meant to this town, right? He...
- Helped them. - Well, he tried.
He was a friggin' saint.
I'm just tired of talking about it.
I know I bring it up all the time. I'm sorry.
Ta-da.
Oh, dear Lord.
Oh, you know you love it.
Ah, I don't know. I don't...
How much? How much? Tell me when.
Just. When.
This is going to give me such a headache.
Just drink it. Make it go away.
I don't think I can drink that. This really...
I'm okay. I know I am.
All right, you little devil.
Where are you?
All men have sinned
and fallen short of the glory of God.
We're damned.
We're all going to Hell.
There's nothing you can do.
The only salvation that is possible for you
is the blood of the Lamb.
Christine?
The Lord Savior, Jesus Christ.
You know, last week I was sitting on a plane
from Memphis to Orlando
and a gentleman sitting next to me, a very kind man,
he looked at me and he said,
"Pastor, I do good works.
"I take care of my family.
"I look after my friends."
I looked him square in the eye and said,
"That's marvelous.
"Tell the Devil that,
"because you're going to Hell!"
Oh, my God! Christine!
Tell me. Tell me, tell me, tell me.
David! David!
David!
Okay.
Tell me. Tell me.
David!
Stop!
David. David
...difficulties right here is the lack of resolution.
When a child goes missing without a trace,
there's no closure.
It's so frustrating. You would think that some...
David!
Mrs. Denning?
Shit!
Mrs. Denning!
Here. Here. Let me help you.
Okay? Can you stand?
Lieutenant, request received.
Central is sending reinforcements. Two cars.
They're leaving Seattle right now.
ETA two hours. Repeat, ETA two hours.
Dodd, I'm on my way. I'm on the highway already.
This is the guy we're looking for, right?
I'm on my way too, Lieutenant.
Going as fast as I can.
We're going to get that son of a bitch.
Come on. You're going to be okay.
You're going to be just fine.
Damn!
- We got an emergency here. - Oh, my God!
Julia! What happened to you?
I found her on the road.
The asshole who did this is still out there.
Here, take her.
You want me to go with you?
No, you stay here. Get an ambulance. Take care of her.
You sure?
Everything will be all right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey! Give it a rest.
Yeah. Give her some space, huh?
You're hurt, sweetie.
What happened, Julia?
Oh, it's okay.
It's okay.
Now, you wait right here.
I'll be right back.
Go get cleaned up.
I left a towel and some clean clothes in my office.
And when you're done, maybe you can tell me what's going on.
Thank you.
I don't know, Douglas.
Think carefully, Sheriff.
Think about your pension.
How far are you away from retirement? Eight months?
We've got to warn the department in Pittsville.
Yeah, and the army too, while you're at it.
It wasn't supposed to happen like this.
And that's why you have to go to the mine.
I want to know what she's up to.
Jesus Christ!
We're on the same boat, brother.
Don't "brother" me, you prick.
I have to think. Let me think!
Yeah, you do that.
She's looking at the kid's picture.
She suspects something, I could tell you.
What'll we do?
I'll go get her.
Don't move.
Take a seat.
Shit!
She's left!
That bitch is in the forest!
Come on.
Grab what you need out of your trucks.
Steven! I need you to take that group, take them into the forest.
If you find her, you bring her to me.
I'll find her.
Don't do anything stupid! You find her, you hang on to her.
Then leave her to me.
Let's get round the back of the building!
If I get a chance, I'm gonna kill her!
You still need to think, big boy?
Come on. All of us. Let's go!
She's not gonna go far. Let's stop her now.
Sheriff, this is Campbell.
Uh, we just received a call from the Feds in Seattle.
They're sending reinforcements.
It sounds like Dodd is chasing our guy.
Are you aware of this?
Sheriff, did you get that?
Do you copy, Sheriff?
- Uh, Sheriff? - Yeah, yeah, I'm copying.
Asshole.
How am I supposed to do this job?
I got two lousy cars, I got a useless deputy,
Feds all over my back...
No, no, no. She's not at home.
She's hiding in the forest.
They'll get her. You stay put. I'll call.
That's a little inappropriate.
I have to stick to lighter reading.
Hold your retrorockets. I'm coming.
I wonder who that could be.
Hi, Poinsy, Merry Christ...
Why, Mr. Felix!
What are you doing outside on a day like today?
Stand still.
I can't understand you, Mr. Felix.
Let's go inside.
I'll put you somewhere to thaw out.
David. Oh.
David.
