Perimeter guard 83.
No sign of Ethan Burke.

Be happy! Enjoy your life
in Wayward Pines!

Beverly Brown
broke the rules.

What are you
talking about?

That's why
she was reckoned.

We have a problem.

Ethan Burke's wife might be
coming to look for him.

The problem is
your vehicle. It's leaking oil.

I can tighten
the valve

so that you don't break down
in the middle of nowhere.



Where is
my wife and son?

Don't worry.
I made them all better.

What happened?
Were you in an accident?

That's what the hospital
told us,

but we don't...
we don't remember.

- Have you told her that I'm here?
- No.

I wouldn't wait too long.
It's a small town.

I was right.
He's with her.

Go, go!

How many times
do I have to tell you?

This is my town!

- You have to ask my permission
- I know,

- I know.
- in order to leave!

What is wrong with this?!



Ethan!

I got you now,

you son of a...

You think you want
to know the truth,

but you don't.

It's worse than anything
you could even imagine.

Ben?

Ben, Ben, Ben?

Come outside.

Come outside with me.

It's okay, sweetie.

Come on.

Yeah.
Come over here.

Okay.
Come here.

Give me your hands.
Give me your hands.

There's blood.

What were those things

on the other side of the wall?

Wolves.

This is wolf country.

Here.
Take this.

That man
almost killed us, Ethan.

Well, he didn't.

We need
to call the police.

He was the police.

Exactly.

There is no covering
this up.

They... they already know.

There's cameras
and mikes everywhere.

This house, these trees.

This whole town
is under surveillance.

By who?

The FBI?
The... Who?

I-I don't know.

I was sent here
to investigate

the disappearance
of two of our agents.

One of them
was Bill Evans.

The other one was Kate.

After the accident,

I woke up in that hospital
just like you and Ben.

I tried calling you,
tried calling headquarters.

Had no luck getting through
to anybody on the outside.

But I've been trying
to get out of this town

from the moment that I woke up
in that hospital.

So, what do we do now?

We keep our guard up.

Keep playing along.

Act like
there's nothing wrong.

Act like...

Act like
we're a happy family.

If you want to survive.

Where's Ben?!

Ben?!

Ben?!

What hap... What is it?!

"Dear Ben, we look forward
to your first day of school

at Wayward Pines Academy,
8:00 A.M. sharp."

1x04 - One of Our Senior Realtors
Has Chosen to Retire

Congratulations,
Sheriff Burke.

I got you a cake, and...

you can even eat
the pinecones.

- Oops.
- Mr. Burke.

So thrilled to have you
as our new Sheriff.

Mayor Brad Fisher.

Say "Pines!"

Pines!

I'm Toby.
I'm from the paper.

I know it must be
a fast transition.

Well, I

I'd be lying if I said
that I wasn't...

a little surprised.

So, want to tell me who
appointed me as the Sheriff?

Was that you?

Not my purview.

Well...
whose purview is it?

You see, I'd like to,
I'd like to talk to that person.

I'd like to personally
thank them for this position

and ask them some questions
about my new role.

So I can do a good job
as the new Sheriff.

You know,
we find it better

not to ask questions
and just...

go by the rules.

Yeah, we don't really like
nosy nellies around here.

Who wants some cake?

I'll get a knife.

Give us a minute, please.

Yeah, sure.

You know, personally,
I'm very happy

to have a new Sheriff
with your experience.

What do you know
about my experience?

More than most.
It's my job as Mayor.

And it's the kind of power

that your new position affords,
as well.

I see.

Well, Mr. Mayor,
as the new Sheriff,

I really look forward to working
with you in the future.

Best of luck
on your first day.

This is just for a few days

until your dad finishes
his case, all right?

Try not to draw
too much attention.

I never do.

And be careful.

Come on, guys!

Good morning, Theresa!

Ben.

Up high.

Down low.

In the middle.
Too slow.

You got me.

Come on, I'm excited
to introduce you to the academy.

You can call me
"Mrs. Fisher."

Some of the students like
to call me "Mrs. F,"

but that's up to you.

Now, the focus here is really
on your mind, the arts,

team building,
and athletics.

Everyone here
plays a sport.

Do you play a sport?

No, not really.

Yeah, I had you pegged
for an artist.

Let me guess.

Musician?

Guitar?

- Yeah.
- Yes!

Well, we have a fantastic
music program here.

I'll tell you something
that's so neat.

A lot of the students
form their own bands,

and every summer,
we get together

for a battle of the bands
at the Rosemary Cafe.

That sounds neat.

Okay.
School day's already begun.

Okay, I will
pick you up at 3:00.

Girls.

I have a welcome brochure
for you.

- Thank you.
- All right.

Come with me.

From New Jersey.

Yeah.

Do you ever want
to go back?

No.
I love it here.

Holy crap.

Good morning, Sheriff Burke.

What is this?

Citizen's arrest.

You can go, boys.

For what?

He's an insurgent.
He propagates propaganda.

This morning,

he defaced
public property with...

...subversive graffiti.

There's got to be
a reckoning.

A reckoning?

Let's get
something straight.

Nobody's getting reckoned here.

Believe me, it's not
what we want either, but...

Peter's given us no choice.

It's his third strike.

But how would you
even know

about the Third-Strike Law,
Sheriff?

You've done
your civic duty, Pam.

You can go now.

Ethan, darling...

if you don't want
to do this...

I'd be happy
to do it myself.

It's taken care of.

Well...

I'll be
looking forward

to how
you take care of it.

Honey.

I'm gonna ask you
some questions, Ben.

I need to get a feel
of where you're at

so I know exactly
where to place you.

Don't think of this as a test.

Think of it as us...

getting to know each other.

Okay.

Great.
Where are you from, Ben?

Seattle.

And where do you live?

Seattle.

And where is home, Ben?

Do you need me
to repeat the question?

I already told you
where I live.

I didn't ask you
where you live.

I asked, "Where is home?"

Seattle.

And do you miss it, Ben?

Yeah, I guess.

Why do you miss it,
Ben?

I don't know...
A lot of reasons.

You miss something, and you
don't know why you miss it.

Why won't your parents
take you home, Ben?

It's my turn!

'Cause they can't.

Why not?

Because my dad is
in the Secret Service,

and he's been
assigned here.

What makes you
so sure of that?

Because
that's what he does.

What if he made it up?

He wouldn't do that.

Has your father
never lied to you, Ben?

He's...
He's lied, but...

Then how
can you trust him?

How can you
trust him, Ben?

_

Can I help you
find something?

Yeah, I want a gift
for my son.

Well,
what's the occasion?

There's no occasion.

I just... just want
to get him something.

H-He likes music, right?

I have...

these are h-hand-crafted
by my husband.

Each one
has a different melody.

This one's my favorite.

You have 30 seconds
to say

exactly what
you need to say to me.

I do not think
you are in any position

to be setting
the rules here.

25,
and they're not my rules.

I stopped training
to be an agent

because the job
always comes first.

And I wanted
to be a mother.

I chose for my family
to come first.

But Ethan didn't make
that choice, did he?

You hurt my family, Kate.

I know.
I'm sorry.

A lot has changed
since then.

Maybe for you.

For you, too.
You just don't know it yet.

Would you like me
to gift-wrap this?

No. No, thank you.
I changed my mind.

Thank you.

See you guys!

It's Ben, right?

- I'm Amy.
- Hi.

Are you waiting
for your mom, or...

No,
I'm... I'm walking home.

Do you live by the woods?

Actually, I don't really
know exactly

where I'm staying.

Well, do you live by
the really, really tall trees

or the kind-of-tall trees?

Come on,
Wayward's not that big.

We'll find it together.

Come on.

She was asking me
a lot of questions

about, like, where I live.

She probably just wanted
to make sure

you weren't
getting homesick.

Are you?

What?

Homesick?

I guess.

Probably really popular
at your old school.

Sort of.

Probably have a girlfriend,
too, I'm sure.

Well, I... I did,

but, you know, right now
it's kind of...

...like, long distance,
I guess.

Right.

Well, guess if everything's
perfect in Seattle,

it makes sense for you
to want to go back.

Have you ever been
to that fence?

Or wall,
whatever it is?

No.
Why would I go there?

Do you know about those...
animals on the other side?

How do you know
about them?

Ben, Ben!
What are you doing?!

I told you I was going
to pick you up at school!

It's my fault,
Mrs. Burke.

I asked Ben
to walk me home.

He didn't even want to,
but I practically forced him.

Okay, that's all right.
That's fine.

- Let's go.
- Sorry.

- Bye.
- Thank you!

Bye.

That's...
You have the wrong person.

Really?

And what about
these people here?

S-Standing there with you.

_

It's a long time ago,
another life.

How long?

I stopped keeping track
after four winters passed,

so probably another four,
maybe five.

There aren't
any calendars here.

What about
these numbers here?

No idea.
I don't know.

Well...

...you don't have a cane
in this picture.

Rock-climbing accident.

Where? Here?

Tried to climb out.

Silly me.

Why can't anybody
leave this town?

There's one way out.

Hello?

Sheriff Burke,
you must call a reckoning

for Peter McCall tomorrow,
10:00 P.M. sharp.

Telemarketer.

How did it go?

Well

they made me Sheriff
today.

They made you Sheriff?

I guess when you kill
somebody in this town,

they give you his job.

Ethan...

They want
to have a man executed

for spray-painting
graffiti.

And they're expecting me
to do it,

and if I don't do it...

they'll find someone
who will.

Everybody's
a prisoner here.

I met the Mayor today.

His name is Brad Fisher.

Fisher.

Fisher... Ben... Ben's
teacher's name is Fisher.

I met her this morning.

Megan?

That's his wife.

I checked their files.

Before Wayward Pines,
she used to be a hypnotherapist.

They made a hypnotherapist
a schoolteacher.

I feel like that Mayor was
trying to tell me something.

How do you mean?

I don't know.

I feel like we can get
more out of him.

- Good morning.
- Mrs. F.

- Mrs. Burke.
- Hi.

I love seeing parents

who are so involved
in their children's lives.

Should we be expecting
to see you every morning?

Well, actually,
I came to see you.

Yeah, can I get them
to you at lunch?

I believe our husbands
met yesterday?

Yes, of course.

How exciting to be
the wife of the Sheriff.

It is.
It is exciting.

- Morning.
- ...But you know what?

We're new, and we don't have
any friends, and...

and we were hoping
that you guys

might come over
for dinner tonight.

We'd love to.

How nice.
But you know what?

You and Ethan really should
see more of the town.

What do we say,
the Biergarten at, 7:00?

- Perfect.
- Wonderful.

- Good morning.
- We'll keep it intimate...

a little booth in the back,
burgers and beers.

You do eat meat,
don't you?

Yep, we eat everything.

- I'll see you then.
- Okay. Great.

Come on.

Morning, Peter.

Is that my last meal?

Nothing's gonna happen
to you.

I've read through this thing
10 times.

I forgot
how much I forgot.

Why don't you tell me
what you remember?

It was 2001,

and I was in Los Angeles
for a conference.

I went down
for a, quick drink...

at the bar.

Struck up a conversation
with a brunette named Denise.

We really hit it off,
you know?

And...

after five drinks,

I asked her to come back
to my hotel room,

take the party
up a notch.

I was still married
at the time.

I'd like to say
that it was a...

temporary, fleeting moment
of weakness,

a mistake
that never happened before.

That'd be a lie.

Anyway...

we went back to my room...

where I blacked out.

Next thing I knew,
I woke up in a hotel room.

Wasn't the same hotel.

The brunette
from the bar...

was still there.

But she was older.

And her name
wasn't Denise.

It was Pam.

All right, let's start
where we left off yesterday.

Where are you from, Ben?

Seattle.

And where do you live?

I don't know.

Good, Ben.
So good.

Tomorrow, you can start class
with the other students,

and guess what?
I'm gonna be your teacher.

Close your eyes.

Ready?

For your heart zone.

- That's her.
- Good.

Sheriff Burke,
good to see you again.

Mr. Mayor.
Good to see you.

- This is my wife, Megan.
- Megan Fisher.

You must be Theresa.
Very nice to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you.

Please, sit, please.

Theresa, hello again.
It's so nice to see you.

Did you have any trouble
finding the place?

No, no trouble at all.

They sure do make
a fine buffalo burger.

How's your steak?

What?

Your steak...
is it okay?

Yeah, it's great.

You all right?

Well, this is nice.
I'm glad we could do this.

Please.

It's our honor to be having
dinner with our new Sheriff.

Yes, congratulations.

Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.

Of course, we all
will miss Sheriff Pope.

He did retire so abruptly.

Yeah, I think it was a...

a bit of a surprise
to all of us.

Yeah.

You know, I always thought
that being a good Sheriff

was a lot like being
a good schoolteacher.

You need to set
clear boundaries.

And you need to let people know

there are consequences
for their behavior.

Right.

Yeah.
I have to wash my hands.

Can you show me
where the bathroom is?

Will you guys excuse us?

Certainly.
Follow me.

Your wife's very lovely.

- Thank you.
- So...

what are your impressions
of our little town so far?

I-I just love it here.

- Yeah.
- I think it's great...

the, mountains,
the pine trees,

the look of fear
in everyone's eyes.

Wine?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Nothing like a...
nice glass of wine

to loosen up
the conversation.

Your son, Ben...

I hear he's a good kid.

Yeah, I think so.

See, the thing about this town
is that...

...they focus
on the children.

The school...
very dedicated.

It's all about shaping
the mind of the child.

Your wife is a teacher
at that school?

Yes.

Be careful.

Everyone raves
about the buffalo burger,

but if you ask me,
the trout is sublime.

Buffalo burger.

So, how does everybody feel

about the,
public executions?

What?

You know,
what Pope did to Beverly,

what they're expecting me
to do to Peter McCall.

The reckonings.

We don't make the laws.

We... just follow them.

Couldn't have said it
better myself.

Well, that's why I write
all your speeches.

What an ice-cream-cone-eating
bastard.

He leaves without
even saying goodbye?

Come on, Arlene, you got
to admit he was creepy.

He was so cute.

Yes, well,
Sheriff Pope is gone,

and now
we have a new Sheriff.

Yippee!

I mean, a lot of people
didn't like him.

They thought
he was too gruff,

but he was a really good man
one-on-one.

Honest
and easy to work for.

Sure.

Very generous with me
during the holidays especially.

Arlene, I'm sure
in a very short while,

you'll feel exactly the same way
about Sheriff Burke.

You think?

And bear in mind,
Ethan is a married man.

Pam, that's gross!

Friends...
neighbors...

let's all raise a glass
to our new Sheriff, Ethan Burke!

I'm sure all our heads
are spinning

with how quickly
he's risen in the ranks.

Great power...

requires great responsibility.

Someone who understands...

that those who break the law
need to be punished swiftly

and whenever necessary,
severely...

to the fullest extent
of our laws...

Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Pam.

That was very, very kind.

I just want to say that,
it's an honor to be of service.

And I want everyone here tonight
to know...

that as long as I'm Sheriff
of Wayward Pines,

I will do everything
in my power to ensure...

that the evils of this town
are brought to light...

and that the true criminals...

...are brought to justice.

Hear, hear!

To Sheriff Burke.

To Sheriff Burke!

Thank you.

It's that psychiatrist.

Did you meet him
in the hospital?

Dr. Jenkins!

Ethan.

How are you?

And you must be Theresa.

I'm so glad
you've recovered.

Thank you.

So, what are you
doing out here?

Just,
checking on the progress

of my latest species.

She's a crossbreed
of two different pines.

She doesn't require that
much attention, actually.

She's... she's thriving,
but I...

I worry.

Look, Doctor

there are some people
in this town

that want me to execute a man
for spray-painting graffiti.

So the rumor is true.

I'm so sorry.

We're not gonna just go along
with this, are we?

I know how you feel, Ethan.
Believe me, I-I do.

Perhaps the best things
in this world...

require
the biggest sacrifice.

Look.

Look at all this beauty
around us.

Hector Gaither.

He's on the local radio
every night.

Come on, let's go.

Almost all the locals
tune in.

When we get
to the end of the road,

I want you to go left,
go home,

and I'll see you there
in a bit.

And we're here.

This is
your favorite place?

No.

This...

is my favorite place.

Tell me
about your friends.

I-I didn't...
I didn't really have any.

I-I lied to you.

It's okay.

We don't really dwell on the
past here in Wayward anyways.

And you have me now.

Time to go.

10:00 P.M. is really
the cutoff time

for a reckoning, Ethan.

There's not gonna be
a reckoning.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

I'm gonna hide you,
take you to the woods.

They'll find me right away.

Well, that's a chance
we're gonna have to take.

We got to move.

All right.

Take me to the fence.

"Dear Theresa, congratulations!

"A spot has just opened at
Wayward Pines Realty Associates.

"One of our senior realtors
has chosen to retire.

"Please come to the office
tomorrow morning

at 9:00 A.M. sharp."

Why did you
bring me here, Peter?

"Before I built a wall,

I'd ask to know what I was
walling in or walling out."

That's Robert Frost.

Which is it?
Is it keeping us in?

Or something else out?

Why don't you tell me?

Most people want to leave
when they first get here,

just like you.

But I didn't.

It let me be someone new,
you know, forget my past.

Problem is,
you can't forget forever.

It'll catch up to you.

It's caught up to me.

There's only one way out.

But this is the end
for me.

you don't have to do this.

You're right.
You do.

They're watching.

You got to earn
their trust.

All right?

You can do this,
or I can.

But if you want to survive
in this place,

I suggest you give me
a little push.

Peter,
I'm not gonna do that, okay?

I'm not gonna do that.

I know you're not.

Man, come on, come on.

- That's why this town needs you.
- What?!

Peter McCall's dead.

How?

Doesn't matter.

I need you to stay here,
keep playing along.

I'm gonna leave.
I'm gonna go get help.

You're strong.

Much stronger
than you know.

Well...

looks like maybe you could be
Sheriff after all.

I think you're better suited
for Sheriff

in this town than me.

That's the smartest thing
you've said

since you got here
to my town.

I know you let Peter McCall
do your job for you.

You might've fooled
everyone else,

but I'm a registered nurse.

The radio's
nothing but static,

except for when Hector Gaither
plays piano.

Did he grow up here,
too?

No.
He's like 40.

What's on the other side
of the fence?
