[Graham finds police officer Caroline Paski in his hallway]
Oh. That was quick, Caroline. I only called you folks two hours ago.
C Caroline
Old Mrs. Kendleman. Twisted her ankle, as she puts it. Diving for her life when a bunch of school kids rode down the sidewalk on skateboards. She went down to Thornton's store this morning, and started spittin' on the new skateboards. Spitting! By the time I got there, Mrs. Kendlemen had sprayed the whole damn place. And she must have had a cold, as I'm telling you, I won't eat for a week. [sighs] So, what happened to your crops?
C Caroline
[Caroline and Graham examine the crop circle]
Now, what kind of a machine can bend a stalk of corn without breaking it?
It can't be by hand, it's too perfect.
C Caroline
Doesn't sound much like Lionel Prichard and the Wolfington brothers. They can't take a piss without wettin' the front of their pants.
C Caroline
Some animals around the county have been acting funny. Some of them violent.
C Caroline
I don't think so, Father. They were more edgy, more alert. It's almost as if they smell a predator around. Peeing on themselves and everything.
[Graham stands and slowly walks away, lost in thought]
Caroline. Please stop calling me Father.
I don't hear my children.
C Caroline
[Officer Paski talks to the Hess family about the intruder from last night]
So how are you, Merrill?
C Caroline
How's work at the gas station?
[sarcastically]
Stimulating.
C Caroline
I never got a chance to tell you, but I thought your moving in here with your brother after... was a nice thing to do.
Well, I don't think I'm helping much.
C Caroline
[Caroline looks at Morgan, then back at Merrill]
You are.
C Caroline
[Caroline is attempting to derive a description of the suspect from Merrill and Grant]
Okay. So far, I have "it was very dark."
C Caroline
You didn't see him at all? I don't know whether to look for a giant or a midget.
No, he definitely wasn't a midget.
C Caroline
Okay, so he was tall?
C Caroline
Over six feet?
C Caroline
[Caroline has mentioned a Nordic-looking female stranger as a possible suspect. The Hess family is skeptical]
And my point is, we don't know anything about the person you saw, and we should just keep all possibilities available.
[Bo enters the kitchen]
Dad, where's the remote?
I don't know, baby. Why don't you check under the sofa cushions?
Excluding the possibility that a female Scandinavian Olympian was running around outside our house last night, what else might be a possibility?
C Caroline
I'm not done asking questions, and I don't appreciate sarcasm.
C Caroline
[Graham flashes back to the night of Colleen's death]
Ray's truck swerved off the road, hit Colleen and then a tree, and she was pinned between the two.
What does that mean, pinned?
C Caroline
The truck... the truck has severed most of her lower half.
C Caroline
She won't be saved. Her body is pinned in such a way... that it's alive when it shouldn't be alive. The truck is holding her together. Now she doesn't feel much, and she's talking almost like normal. And we didn't pull the truck out, because we wanted you to come down here and be with her as long as she's awake. And that won't be very long. Father, do you understand what I've told you?
Caroline. Is this the last time I'm going to speak with my wife?
