JIM: Hey,
I appreciate that, thanks.

Yeah, it was--
it was quite a shock.

I mean, we didn't even know
Dad had heart problems.

Well, they're saying
natural causes but I want

to check out
a few things while I'm out here.

I tell you what, though,
you ought to see this place.

I mean,
there's stuff everywhere.

It's like he didn't take care
of anything once Mom died.

I mean,
there's an arrowhead collection.



There's so much stuff,
this is going to take forever.

Yeah.

Well, hey, man,
I'd love to see you, too.

Hey,
we'll talk about Bosnia.

Strictly on the down low.
That's right.

Well, at ease
Staff Sergeant.

We'll catch you later.

All right,
thanks for calling, bud.

[street din]

[footsteps]

-ZEKE: Oh, hey, Jim!
-Zeke. Long time no see.

Yeah, man. Sure enough.
Are you doing all right?

-Doing good. Thanks.
-Good, man. Good. Uh...

Oh, hey.
Um, sorry about your dad.

-Thank you. Appreciate it.
-He was a good dude.

-He was.
-He was, man.

You need anything,
give me a holler.

-Will do! All seeing eye.
-All right, man.

Zeke,
you haven't changed a bit.

-You know me, man.
-Good to see you.

See you, buddy.

Hey, Major Powell.
It's good to see you again.

You too.
Man, store manager now, huh?

Yeah.
Bringing in the big bucks.

I hear you.
Place looks great, though.

Thanks.

Hey, I'm sorry
to hear about your dad.

I'm going to really
miss seeing him in here.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

Tell me something,
he show any signs of a--

-of a heart problem?
-No.

He always seemed
as healthy as a horse.

Actually, I was surprised to
hear he died of a heart attack.

-Yeah, me too.
-Hey,

he had an order
come in today.

It's already paid for.
Do you want it?

-Yeah, might as well.
-All right, give me a second.

So no warning signs, huh?

No, he was actually really
excited to get this order.

Talked about
some sort of adventure.

Why would dad order
all this camping gear?

You order
stuff like this often?

No, just a couple odds
and ends here and there.

-But--
-Well, hey, I appreciate it.

Of course.
It's good to see you again.

Yeah, you too.
See you.

Hey, Jim.
Sorry to hear about your daddy.

Hey, I appreciate that.

Thank you.
Good to see you again.

[wrapper paper crinkling]

Is that all?

Excuse me,
can you, uh, pass me

that silver thermos?

[quirky instrumental]

Don't I know you?

No, I--
I know I know you, we--

We used to have
a class together, that's it.

♪♪♪

You know,
I know I'm right.

I mean...

I could have sworn
we had chemistry.

[cashier giggles]

That didn't go
so well.

Yeah, you got
to stay away from that one.

But chemistry was
my favorite subject.

Yeah, I'm sure it was.
I had lots of lab partners.

-Anyway, thanks.
-No problem.

Hm...

I didn't know this kind of
thing happened around here.

-Excuse me?
-"Raven County woman

still missing.

Sheriff's department
still searching

Peddle Creek area
where she was last seen".

Used to not but it's been
happening more and more.

Strange.

-Anyway, thanks.
-I get off in an hour.

I can walk you home
and protect you.

You have a nice day.

You too.

Hunting? Camping trip?

Okay.

-Jimmy! Oh!
-Hey, Squirt!

-I know.
-Mm.

I'm sorry
I wasn't here.

-[sighs]
-Dad knew we loved him.

Yeah, I know.

Gosh, I mean,
I just miss him so much.

Yeah, I do, too.

What'd Dad
used to say, though?

"You never know
how strong you are..."

"...Until being strong
is the only choice you have."

-That's it.
-DEB: You're right.

Oh! [chuckles] Sorry.

-It's okay.
-This is Janie.

-Hi.
-She's a friend.

-JIM: Hi Janie, Jim.
-Nice to meet you.

I'm so sorry
to hear about your dad.

-[Deb sighs] Yeah.
-Y'all come on in.

So uh, you and Deb
been friends long?

Mm,
a couple of months now.

-Yeah.
-We met... Deb?

-We were fighting.
-Mm.

-Fighting? Who won?
-Yeah.

-We both did.
-Uh-huh.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

-There was this guy.
-Yeah.

-He was trash.
-Uh-huh.

-So what happened?
-We realized that we weren't.

-No--
-Hey!

[laughter]

-DEB: Yes, that's what happened.
-Yeah.

Um.

What's with all this?
Are you going off the grid?

No, that's all Dad's.

You have any idea
why he ordered all that stuff?

DEB: No,
I don't have a clue.

And his heart attack?

Yeah.

I don't know.
He had been so distant.

-Distant?
-Yeah.

Like, short tempered.

When Mom died,
he really changed.

Short fuse, you know, for Dad.
Even shorter than usual.

I don't know.
He was acting so weird.

Like how?

Just going on
and on about, like,

Native Americans
and their culture

and burial grounds
and folklore.

I don't know, I guess it was
just something he was into.

All righty, then.

Well, anyway, thanks
for being such a good friend

-to Squirt, here.
-Oh, of course. I just love her.

[chuckles]

And Squirt, huh?
So were you little kids, or...

-Yeah, that's exactly right.
-Let's just say

it was more of
a nighttime problem.

-Oh.
-Shut up! Really, Jimmy?

Well, I guess I've done
my official duty

as big brother
embarrassing my sis.

-Okay.
-I got to head out.

That's fine, because Janie
and I are going to go now

and I'm going to tell her
every embarrassing story

of Major Jimmy
in the history of Ever Dumb.

-[laughter]
-Oh, great.

[door clicks]

-Well, it was nice to meet you.
-Likewise.

And don't worry,
whatever she tells me,

my lips are sealed.

[bell jingles]

Good afternoon, Sir.
How you doing?

You're Mr. Grady, right?
I'm Jim Powell.

I know who you are.

Mind if I, uh,
drag up a chair?

[chair clanking]

So Mr. Grady,
I think you knew my father.

We're going to
miss him around here.

Yeah, I think
a lot of people will.

So listen,
I was kind of hoping you might

help me with something, I was--

been over
at my dad's house,

going through
his stuff and...

he seems to have had
a lot of interesting hobbies.

You know
anything about that?

[street din]

Did Dad
hang around here a lot?

Okay,
I'll take that as a no.

He was
kind of a homebody.

Listen, boy.

Somebody that goes
looking for trouble

never misses.

-What do you mean?
-I mean,

have more sense
than your daddy did.

Pay your respects

and leave
what needs leaving alone.

Okay.

Was Dad in some
kind of trouble?

Gerald was messing
with some things that...

just ought not be.

That's what I saw.

[road din]

I did find
one odd thing.

It was a uh...

it's kind of
a piece of paper with a...

hand-drawn
arrowhead on it.

The letters O-R-O.

Does that mean
anything to you?

-Looks like a--
-Don't ever

say that
out loud around here.

Ever.

I don't understand.

This is ridiculous.

Hey, Squirt,
I got a question for you.

Do you know of any,
uh, path or trail

that starts out around
mile marker one on 180,

right off of
76 there?

DEB: No, if there is one,
I've never noticed.

Okay.

Yeah,
I was just out there,

Dad had it marked
on a map I found.

It's uh, probably nothing.
Just wanted to check it out.

DEB: Well, he made a lot of
trips out into the woods

but I figured he was
just hunting or fishing.

Well, did you ever see
him bring anything in

-that he shot or caught?
-DEB: No.

Honestly, I never
even knew when he went.

He just got to the point that he
wasn't talking to anybody much.

He did meet up
with Terry here and there.

-Terry?
-DEB: Yep. Terry Gort.

I'd call and he'd be like,
"Can't talk. I'm with Terry!"

But I don't think
you'd know him.

No, don't,

but I'm about
to introduce myself.

You know
where he lives?

♪♪♪

[car engine rumbling]

[dog barking]

TERRY: You lost?

Nope, I don't think so.

I'm looking for
a man named Terry.

Do you know
of a guy named Terry?

Nope.
Never heard of him.

There you go.

What do you need
this guy for, anyways?

-He owe you money?
-No, it's nothing like that.

My sister said
he was friends with my dad

thought
I'd come by and say thanks.

-Who's your dad?
-Was.

Unfortunately
he passed away recently.

Recently.

-Gerald?
-That's right. Gerald Powell.

-You said that--
-I know what I said.

I'm Terry.

Apologies
for all the foolery.

People come up
in here unannounced.

We usually shoot them.

-Careful sort.
-Yeah, I can see that.

Y'all had trouble?

Well young-ins,
they come up in here.

Steal everything you got.

Guess you looked the type.

[laughs]

What can I
do for you?

Well Dad,

he had interests that
were quite frankly, strange.

-Meaning what?
-Meaning

Native Americans,
arrowheads.

Gerald uh...

Gerald had
a lot of ideas.

Fixations on...

tribes.

I was just hoping that

since y'all
spent time together,

you can tell me
if he was in ill health

or had any heart problems.

Well, I'd not go
poking around in things

Gerald was involved in.

Empathies for your loss.
You know the way out.

Okay.

-[dog barking]
-One more thing.

Ya'll do
any hunting around here?

Sure, we're up
in the area all the time.

You ever find yourself around
mile marker one on 180?

No.

That's what I thought.
Y'all have a nice day.

is this the forestry service

MAN: Towns County
and Union.

What can I
help you with?

Yeah, are there any trails
that lead off Highway 180

going South
around mile marker one?

MAN: Not that I recall
but let me look.

Let's see,
I don't see anything there

but there is
an Appalachian trail bed

about three miles South of you
on 76 going towards Helen.

May I ask why, Sir?

Yeah,
I was just wondering.

Have a great day, thanks.

a red crayon.

I'm out.

I had more intel
when we looked for Bin Laden.

[sighs] This is ridiculous.

I could be
here for weeks.

Even if I did find something,
it's probably Dad's stash

of fishing lures
and beef jerky!

Stupid.

Although,
if there's nothing to it...

then why is everybody
acting so tight lipped?

Why are they asking me
to mind my own business?

I've been out
to mile marker one.

There's nothing there.

Even if that
trail was there,

it'd go out
to middle of nowhere.

Why the camping gear?

Why the camping gear, Dad?

Well, I'm just
going to have to find out.

-Glenn, great to see you.

-I heard you're back in town.
-Yeah, just back here

for a few days, taking care of
Dad's arrangements.

Yeah, I heard about
your dad and I'm sorry, man.

-He was a great guy.
-He was. I appreciate that.

Listen, come on in.
I'll get you something to eat.

-Got some cereal or something.
-Uh, I can't stay around.

I've got to go head out
to Landers' Farm.

We've got a fence issue
so I can't stick around.

[scoffs]
Look at you, Sheriff.

Remember
back in the day

when you and I
used to run from the law?

-Now you are the law.
-[laughs] Yeah.

We don't talk
too much about those days

-anymore around here.
-Yeah, I guess not.

So, Jim.

Terry Gort.

What were you doing over
at his place the other day?

What are you talking
to Terry about?

Well, Sheriff,
did this visit just go

from cordial
to an interrogation?

-Jim, I'm just doing my job.
-Uh-huh.

Well, Deb said that Dad and
Terry were pretty good friends.

So I went over there
to ask him a few questions.

-Such as?
-Hey, look, if you got

-a question to ask, just ask it.
-Nah, I'm-- I'm good.

I'm just
checking on you.

Listen,
when you leave, look me up.

And you're
going to be leaving when?

-I'll be home by Sunday.
-Sunday. Good.

-It's good seeing you, Jim.

Take care.

-No problem.

Although I'd hate it
if you can't mark off

your bucket list
getting picked up at a bar.

[laughs] Did Deb tell you
that's my number one?

Wait, I can do this.

-Let's see, um-- How about...
-Thank you.

"Excuse me, Miss,
can you step away from the bar?

You're melting the ice."

[laughs]

Oh, I see.
Well, how about this?

Well. Here I am.

What are
your next two wishes?

What's a smart,
attractive man like me

doing without your number?

[laughs] Sounds like
somebody loves himself.

Mom always said there'd never
been anybody good enough for me.

So are you
not wearing a ring

because you're hiding it
or is that legit?

There's no
tan line here.

[laughs] True.

Yeah, I was married once.

But as they say,
the grass is always greener.

She ran off with our attorney
about eight years ago.

-Sorry.
-Mm.

Yeah. Don't be.

Yeah, he's already
moved on to a newer model.

-[laughs] Wow.
-And--

And I hear that she's back
living with her parents.

Oh.

Debra told me
you might be here.

-Really?
-JANIE: Yeah.

And how would
she know that?

She found your phone.
She knows wherever you go.

I'm just joking.
I saw your car when I drove by.

How are you doing?

It's just all, uh,
it's just all so confusing.

Deb filled me in.

Yeah.

Something's off.

What do you mean?

I mean, Dad died.

Got these hillbillies
coming out

and tell me
to mind my own business.

Dad's got these
mysterious maps and drawings.

And the Sheriff
comes by my house today.

[chuckles] What did you do?

Nothing!

-Sorry.
-That's okay.

It'd all be different if people
weren't acting so weird.

It's been like that
for a while.

Everyone's on edge,
ever since

that woman
went missing in Raven.

Yeah.

Well...

thanks
for talking with me.

Been alone for a while.

Of course.

You know, there's only
one thing left to say.

Really? What's that?

Does your
left eye hurt?

Because you've been
looking right all day.

[laughs]

How about this one?

Hey!
Are you two going to kiss?

-Back off, pal.
-Oh, my God. [laughs]

I'll have another.
He won't.

[gunshots blasting]

-I surrender.
-Rangers never surrender.

I taught you that
the first day, son.

Sir, yes, Sir.

-Little Cherry Barry.

I do believe you wet
yourself that first night.

Ah, you kicked my butt,
that's for sure.

[birds chirping]

[gunshots blasting]

[laughs]

You tell anyone about that,
I'll kill you.

[sighs]

[sighs]

I didn't expect
to see you out here.

I came here
to warn you.

I just hear
you've been asking questions.

What, was some kind of
small town law passed

when I wasn't here that says
you can't ask questions?

From what you've been
talking about, yes.

You mean I'm going to get
arrested for asking questions

about my father
and how he died?

This place has changed,

People go missing
and nobody asks questions.

-Nobody.
-You mean like

-that Raven County woman.
-Exactly.

When did this all
start happening?

I'm not sure,
but what I do know

is that people whisper,
but they never talk.

Well... [clears throat]

...last I heard, you were
involved in some wet work.

-You still active?
-Oh, no.

Buried my last one
outside Atlanta three years ago.

I work in my
uncle's barber shop now.

Still using blades.

Nice.

Yes, Sir, but now
they're just for shaving.

It's not really
the people up here--

Well,
some of them have turned.

It's really the people
who don't belong here.

I'd like to see someone
keep me from talking

while I'm holding
my loudspeaker.

Yeah, they've got
loudspeakers too.

[tin dings]

[gunshots blasting]

And they don't like
you asking questions.

How do you
know so much?

You're one of those
townspeople that's turned?

Nah, man.

When you're a barber,
you hear all kinds of things.

I know more about this town
than the Mayor or his wife.

Well,
thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, well,
keep your head down, Major.

Some of these
boomerangs can take it off.

Well,
what they're forgetting is this.

I'm a loudspeaker.

Cherokee lore and legends.

Oro?

Yes, Major Powell, Oro.

Gold.
White man's greed.

Whatever you want to call it.
It's still the same thing.

[solemn flute instrumental]

Can you tell me
everything you told him?

1838.

President Jackson
sent troops and militia

to forcibly
remove the Cherokee

and other tribes
from their homelands.

My great great grandparents

lived in that land

before the Great Spirit
breathed life.

They were
forced from their homes

to walk thousands of miles,

having to bury their family

along the way
in shallow graves

because the ground
was too frozen

and the soldiers said

it took
too long to bury them.

Trail of Tears.

Not America's
finest moment in history.

One of many.

Oro?

[laughs]

Right.

The gold.

You know, 3,000 of us

died on that trail

-all for some--
-Sorry.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

Please continue.

Please.

So you know
about the Trail of Tears.

Did you know
that the Cherokee found gold

in Dahlonega
10 years earlier?

Really? My dad.

He used to take my sister
and I down to Dahlonega,

pan for gold.

Never knew
the Cherokee found it.

Yes,
my great great grandfather

was one of the tribesmen
that found it.

Knowing
white man's desire for gold,

he and the other tribesmen

started mining it and hid it.

And then word got out

and people started to swarm
the area for their fortunes.

Anybody ever find the gold

that your
great great grandfather did?

No.

Because President Jackson

passed the Indian Removal Act

and the leaders got together

and decided to hide it,
to never be found.

So you know where it is?

Is that a, uh,
family secret

that's passed on
for generations?

You hear
about thousands of people

forcibly removed
from their rightful homelands

and it's like,
"Oh, that's such a sad story.

I'm sorry
to hear about that".

Then you hear about
a gold mine and it's like,

"Oh, hey, yeah,
show me the money".

No, I just want to find out
what happened to my dad.

I could tell you
what happened to him.

-He was murdered.
-What?

How?

He wasn't
the only one looking for it.

SABAL: With what I'm paying you,

I expect results,
not excuses.

If I wanted excuses,
I'd still be married

to my second husband.

How hard can it be
to find one man?

He took
all of Gerald's research.

You find him
or you won't be found.

[grunts]

That idiot is the reason
we had to get rid of Gerald.

[grunts]

That old man
knew too much.

Go back to the compound.

If Gort heard something,

I want to know
what it is.

Yes, Miss Fade.

[digital tone plays]

Hey Sabal.

You don't look happy.
Again.

I'm surrounded by idiots.

Talk to them.

I refuse to have a battle
of wits with unarmed men.

-Well, talk to me.
-We've got a problem.

I thought
we got rid of the problem.

No, not him. His son.

He came for the funeral.
He's been poking around.

How much does he know?

I'm not totally sure.

We almost had him the other day
but then he disappeared.

I could have
Donia there in two days.

-She can find him.
-No, not yet.

I think we've been
going about this all wrong.

We've been
getting rid of the competition.

Maybe we just
need to get out of their way.

I think
you're taking a big chance.

Well,
when and if he finds anything,

we can just
take it from him.

True.

If anything goes sideways,
let me know.

I will.

[forest din]

JIM: So who is
this Sabal Fade?

-And why'd he kill my dad?
-GOLA: She.

JIM: You think
I care about pronouns?

Why did it kill my dad?

That's closer
to the truth.

She's not human.

She killed my uncle
and anyone else

who'd take up the search
to find what my ancestors left.

Does she have
people looking?

Always.

They're all around town,

threatening families,

trying to squeeze
information out of people.

She bought up
the land and businesses,

trying to corrupt
the politicians.

She'll do
anything and everything.

Explains why people
were treating me so weird.

I just don't understand
why dad would take up

something so dangerous
and not tell me about it.

I could have helped him.

Protection, probably.

The woman is pure evil.

And she'll
stop at nothing

to get what she wants.

Sounds like she has
enough money already.

It's about the power,
not the gold.

JIM: Right.

Wait, what? What power?

Gola.

-GOLA: Got it.
-Got who?

GOLA: Breakfast.

How do you
like your squirrel?

I don't.

I prefer beef

or deer.

You ever had squirrel?

JIM: My dad and I
used to go camping all the time.

And when we did,
we always hunt.

I learned a lot
but I never had to eat squirrel.

-Let me guess, though.
-Please don't say "chicken".

Tastes like chicken.

So predictable.

Really?

Did you know
I was going to do that?

Well?

You lied.
Tastes like chicken.

You were saying.

What?

Before you went
all squirrel hunter on me,

you were saying
something about power.

I asked grandmother, Elisi,

if there's so much gold,
why hasn't anyone ever found it?

Right.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Elisi told me
the tribe shaman

traveled to the great
Tennessee River

to perform a ritual.

JIM: Tennessee River.
How would that help?

GOLA: The Cherokee view
the Tennessee River

as a kind
and helpful spirit.

His head rests
in the Great Smokies

and his feet
touch the Tennessee River.

JIM: So the, uh,
shaman went to this

Tennessee River spirit
to get some help.

-An immortal.
-Right, immortal, okay.

You know, like a--
Like a vampire.

Really?

[chuckles]

I'm sorry.
Look, go ahead. Immortal.

There are a group of spirits
known as the Immortals.

They're invisible
unless they want to be seen.

They drum
and they dance and--

Now when do we hear
all this drumming and dancing?

You do.

In the rumbling
of the mountains,

in the sounds of the wind.

JIM: Well, did this
great Tennessee River Immortal

help the shaman out?

GOLA: He did.

He asked him
for an object.

The only thing he had
was an arrowhead

that he wore
around his neck.

It was passed down
through generations.

The great spirit held out
the arrowhead and he prayed,

"May every path
that you travel

be a wide field.

May every secret
kept from you be revealed.

May the winter
of your years never be sealed."

Wow. That's beautiful.

It's beautiful.
But it's also dangerous.

The arrow head turned to gold
and the shaman headed back home.

Along the way, the trees
and rocks moved out of his way

and the hills
parted for him to pass.

After a few more steps,
he realized that old age

no longer kept him from running
and he felt young again.

And he ran
all the way home.

JIM: So the, the wide fields

allowed him
to pass through anything

and the sealing of his age
made him young again?

But that's not
the worst part of it.

When he returned
back to the village,

everyone came out.

But not to greet him.

To tell him about
every deed they'd ever done.

[chuckles]

Every secret
shall be revealed.

What'd he do?

He hid the arrowhead
and the gold,

vowing
to never use it again.

Wow. You believe?

I believe
Sabal Fade believes.

I believe
anyone who possesses it

would be unstoppable.

-And I believe my grandmother.
-Mm.

What are you going to do?

I know
she's looking for it

and I want to find it
before she does.

If the wisest
of our tribe thought

it was
too powerful for him

and grandmother thought
he was the best of us all,

it's the least I could do
to protect the world

from someone
like Sabal Fade.

Well, I agree.
I'm with you.

You know, I don't know if my dad
knew about this arrowhead or not

or if he was
just in it for the gold.

But I'm not
about to sit back...

and let some witch
that killed my dad

get away with it.

I've watched you
in the woods.

You're pretty good.

Well, I'm good with guns.
Good with knives.

-Really?
-Yeah.

[forest din]

Wow.
That's impressive.

I'm so glad
you were here to protect me

HANK: Heard
you were dead, man.

-Nah, not yet.
-Well, it's going to happen

if you keep sneaking
in people's backyards at night.

-I hear ya, I hear ya.
-Hey, I'm Barry.

HANK: Hey Barry,
sorry about earlier.

-It's okay.
-Hey, hey, listen.

-I need to borrow the RTV.
-It's mine.

I won it fair
and square, remember?

JIM: You and I both know

you did not win
that fair and square.

-But it's still mine.
-I hear ya, but listen,

I don't want to keep it.

I just want to borrow it
for a couple of days,

just for
a special project of mine.

I don't even want
to know why, do I?

Probably not.

Well, there's no tag on it,

Okay, cool.

All right.
Thanks, Hank.

Talk to you soon.

HANK: All right, hey, Barry,

-Shut up, Hank.

Not that I can't handle.

JIM: We're just
around the corner.

-We'll be there in just a sec.
-Okay.

Hey, it's Gola,
she's that way,

let's go that way.

Okay.

Gola!

Have you seen Deb?

Yes, she's fine.
She's with some--

Barry? Barry.

Cherry Barry, th--
this is your reinforcement?

He's the barber!

Hey, Gola,
looks like it might be time

-for you to come see me.
-Hey Gola, get in the back.

We gotta get out of here.

So your dad
and your uncle were killed.

Then you were chased.
Then you got into a fight--

-Don't forget the wolf--
-Right, the wolf.

And the chicken squirrel.
There was a sniper.

A car chase.

I almost got shot
by some yahoo with a 12 gauge.

And don't forget,
I was attacked earlier today.

So why are we not leaving?

Because I'm not going
to let some old,

mean, crusty woman
get her way.

Really?

Shut up.
Think you can do better?

No...

soul sucking,
pantsuit wearing,

frosty tip,
manipulative defiler

of all things
good and holy?

She did not get those
frosted tips from me.

[laughter]

Seriously, though,

I am a little
concerned about my uncle.

If it's all right
with you, Major,

I'd like to go
over to his place to tell him

to keep his head down
for a couple of days.

Maybe get him to stay
with his cousin, Silva.

Yeah, man, I'm sorry.

It's fine.

I think
we're doing a good thing.

It's dangerous but good.

You know, Barry,
I'm sorry about earlier today.

I really
appreciate your help.

Yeah.

Honestly,
if it wasn't for you and Jim,

I-- I would have
no one to trust.

You know, ever since
my uncle was killed...

Never shall I fail

It is that

I'm just glad

Are we interrupting?

No, that's--

Gola, this is my sister, Deb.

-Nice to meet you.
-Friend, Janie.

I've been busy.

I can see that!

[Jim scoffs] It's not

Her uncle
was good friends with Dad.

Deb, so Gola and I,

we've been kind of
looking at some things

that her uncle
and dad were into.

Like, what?

Do tell, please.

Well, at the moment,

there's not a lot
to talk about, but...

for now, kinda got
to keep things on the down low

so the less people know,
the better.

JANIE: Don't worry.

Your secret
is totally safe with us.

Yeah, I don't like
the sound of that, Jim.

Some things
are better left unsaid

and Jim will explain
it to you later.

Be careful.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow we've got
a few things to finish up,

-so...
-No, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah?

[door clicking closed]

JANIE: She's been
kind of worrying

a lot these past few days.

JIM: I know.
I know exactly how she is.

She's just like my mom.
She's a worrier.

But you need
to help me out and remind her

that I'm never
going to dig a hole deeper

than I can crawl out of.

Well, do you need somebody
in the trenches with you?

I make
a really good partner.

[chuckling]

No, but thanks for asking.

Gola and I
are just about finished up.

Hmm. That's sad.

You said you had something
to finish up tomorrow?

Why do you ask?

I don't know,
I just thought we could

get together for dinner.

Maybe we can do something.

[chuckles]

Well, not tomorrow.

Maybe some other time.

vomit right here.

I don't like that woman.

What? Shut up.

How do they

She didn't. Debra did.

We used this place
as kind of a party house

when we were kids.

-I don't like it, Jim.
-Like what?

Sabal has people everywhere.

Deb is not
a Sabal Fade secret agent.

Okay, fair enough.

But still,
don't you think it's dangerous

they know where we are?

All right. I agree.

I-- I know it's a hike

but nobody knows
about my place.

That'll work.

I'll just call Deb

-we won't be staying here.
-Right.

Yeah, yeah,

It's just
a matter of time now

before you have
possession of Jim Powell.

I know I took my time
getting close to Debra

but when you wanted Jim,
I gave him to you.

I knew when he came in town
that I should keep tabs on him.

So I cloned his phone--

Oh, shut up, Janie.

It's annoying to hear you
so pleased with yourself.

Sabal, I don't know
what I did to--

I don't care
what you don't know.

I only care
about one thing.

The gold.

No, you moron.
The arrowhead.

Arrowhead?

There are thousands
of arrowheads.

Farmers find arrowheads.

Can those arrowheads
tell the future?

Can they tell you privileged
or confidential information?

Can they stop time?

And you think
an arrowhead like that

is in Towns County?

I don't think it.
I know it.

How?

[sighs] Well.

In 1974,
Daddy had a breakdown.

I loved it.

There was no one else

I would rather
see it happen to.

But Mother was concerned.

Oh, oh, not for his health
but his wealth.

You see, she couldn't possibly
drink herself to death

in anything
but designer shoes.

So Mother sent him off
to a sweat lodge in Oklahoma.

And she said it was--
Oh, how did she put it?

"So that he could become one
with his inner spirit animal."

What?

Like most addicts,

mother went through
an experimental phase.

Daddy, well, he became
friends with the locals.

And he started smoking
the peace pipe with them.

They would tell him
crazy stories

about magical
and golden arrowheads.

They thought,
"What can this hurt?

Some white guy
up for the weekend on a romp?"

Yeah, but they
didn't know Daddy.

Once he set his mind
to something he didn't let up.

And you really think
that story is true?

That an arrowhead
with all that power

would be in this county?

Yes.

Idiot.

So the shaman.

Was my uncle.

When he removed the arrowhead,

it left a drawing
tattoo on his chest.

Like yours.

Yes.

Once everyone
started traveling

on the Trail of Tears,
my uncle stayed behind.

He needed to keep
the arrowhead safe.

And grandmother
wasn't going to leave him.

And I wasn't going
to leave grandmother.

And she passed away
shortly after that.

That was over
150 years ago.

The arrowhead
kept my uncle young.

He still aged.

In fact,
the arrowhead drawing

would run low,
like a-- like a fuel gauge,

and he would get older,

but it was like every
year was seven years.

And when he realized
it was just him and me,

he put the arrowhead on me
so that we can age the same.

But my dad.

My uncle
really liked your dad.

And he was close
to telling him the truth.

And then
they were both killed.

My uncle
was a private man

and he didn't even tell me
about the arrowhead.

I-- I guess he left me
these little clues

along the way
so that I can figure it out

in case
he wasn't here to tell me.

So you surviving
that gunshot?

I-- I kind of
put the arrowhead on

so I can do a recharge.

Looks like it's almost
back to where it was.
