Ed? Yeah. What are you doing? Taking a break, what's it look like? Looks like you're running the front desk. Yeah, sure. But if someone comes in, I'll give him a room. Really?

What? Do you want me to help or not? Fine. But make sure you don't give out room four. Remember, we have to fix the toilet. That room always has problems. I know, but we have to fix them. And when's the plumber coming to do that? I don't know. You called him.

Oh. You didn't call him, did you? Yeah, yeah, I did yesterday. He said he'd be out today any time between... Shit, what was it? Like, 12 and 5. It's Henry. The plumber? Yeah.

Okay. Anything else? Yeah. What are you doing on the computer? Searching. Searching what? Searching that girl. Take a look at this.

She's missing. Her and her friends. But they think they're runaways. Oh. I guess that makes me feel a little better. Why? Well, I was worried they were dangerous. They could still be dangerous.

Shit. Stark weather and fugate were dangerous. Who were they? Those murderous teenagers who went on a killing spree in the 50s. Oh. You ever watch Badlands? The movie? No. I've heard of it, though. That's what the movie's based on. Crazy-ass killer teens.

So you think these runaways are dangerous? No, I'm just saying they could be. Anyone could be. Hell, even you. Please. Just saying. Okay, well, what did you find on them? Anything else? Nah, just that their parents really missed them, obviously, but they also seem a bit crazy. The parents?

Yeah, some backwoods nuts. See this pick? That's the girl's mom. And look at her damn house. Gross. No wonder her daughter ran out. Ed, you don't know the full story. Don't play offended. The chick wanted to leave. I'm just saying I'm not surprised. It's not like the girl was kidnapped.

All three of them kids left together. The other two had crazy Backwood's parents, too. They all live in Louisiana? Yeah, that's the other thing. Those kids are driving as far away as they can. You know that home life had to be shitty. That's sad. No, it isn't.

Man, I wish I had the balls to leave back in the day. You wanted to run off? My dad was a piece of shit, and mom wasn't much better. At least mom stayed, although sometimes I wish she'd left, too. And what about your sister? What about her? You ever see me talk to anyone for my family? Fuck them.

Well, you got out eventually. Yeah, had to join the damn army. But sure, it got me away. Too bad the army wasn't shit either. And now I'm stuck here. Stuck. You wanted this place not that. that long ago? Well, now I don't, Mayor. How many times I got to tell you? We need out. Living in

this damn office calling about clogged toilets every week isn't much better than living like the fucking hillbillies in these damn pictures. What if we had kids? You want them to run off too? Please. Kids? You don't want kids. Says who? You want to be a dad? I don't know. Maybe, but not while we're living here. Think about it, Mayor. Really think about it. I have. And I don't want to give this up. says he can set me up with a nice cushy delivery job out of Post Falls. What about that? We could get a decent amount for the inn and buy something out there. Huge property, outside of town. So you could still look at your stupid trees and birds.

It's more than that. Just because you hated your family doesn't mean I hate mine. Maybe not, but your family's dead. So who gives a shit now? That's messed up, Ed. I don't know why you have to say things like that. Oh, calm down. I was joking. It was still messed up. Oh, come on, Mayor. Come back. I'm sorry, all right. Mayor. Mayor, Mayor. Come on. Mayor.
