(Selena)
As long as it's painful.
(Billy)
How about
a fall down the stairs?
Most accidents do happen
in the home.
Or a hair dryer
in the bathtub,
that's always fun.
Fork in the toaster?
Lucas doesn't cook.
We'll have to be
more creative.
Killing him
always been a fantasy?
I figured out with the old,
in with the new.
I think you're just jealous,
'cause he got Gail pregnant.
Please, I could have had
10 of his little demons
if I'd wanted 'em.
That's a pleasant thought.
I think I'd better
go find those files.
Relax, Doctor.
We haven't come
to a conclusion yet.
Maybe we could just
smother him in
his own bed sheets.
Or you could perform surgery.
You certainly have the tools.
Selena, I really need
to find those files
for Yancy Lydon...
and he is convinced
that Lucas stole them.
You have no sense
of adventure.
Hey.
I'm in the man's bed,
aren't I?
[dog barking in distance]
[changing gears]
Now, where do you think
they are?
What?
The files.
Too late for that now,
darling.
The master has returned.
You said he was out of town.
My mistake.
Better get your boots on.
You wanted this.
Call me crazy.
Come on.
I'll catch up to you.
What?
I'm not ready to go yet.
Look, your ex-boyfriend,
who just happens to be
a sociopathic sheriff...
is about to
find us in his bedroom...
and I don't think
he's gonna offer us
an espresso.
I want to kill him, Billy.
Enough with the games.
No game.
I really want him dead.
[door creaking]
Selena, honey...
this was not safe sex.
(Yancy)
"She was a Phantom
of delight
"When first
she gleam'd upon my sight
"A lovely Apparition sent
"To be a moment's ornament
"Her eyes as stars
of twilight fair
"Like twilight's, too,
her dusky hair
"But all things else
about her drawn
"From May-time
"and the cheerful dawn."
[groaning]
[cardiograph beeping]
I'm here, Doris.
Always here.
[grunting]
Okay.
Excuse me, Mr. Lydon?
I'm sorry to disturb you...
but I need to know the dosage
for Cecil Perkins'
Lasix IV push.
100 milligrams.
Yes, sir.
[Doris groaning]
Late night?
You don't want to know.
Doris.
[mumbling]
She's screaming.
Can you hear her?
[Doris exclaiming]
I owe you an apology, Yancy.
It's like she's drowning right
in front of me and I can't do
a damn thing about it.
I didn't get your files.
I trusted someone
I shouldn't have.
It's okay.
This isn't
your responsibility anyway.
What makes you so sure
Lucas took 'em?
He's punishing me.
By taking her medical records,
he's made it impossible...
for me to find out
what caused this.
I need to know
what drugs
were administered...
what her vitals were.
I need to do something,
Doctor!
I can't wait for
Lucas anymore.
Wait for Lucas to do what?
[cardiograph beeping]
Sweetheart.
I've got to go back
to the pharmacy.
Yancy, what do you mean?
Wait for Lucas
to do what?
I just thought things
would be different,
that's all.
Feel free to read to her,
Doc.
Wordsworth.
It's her favorite.
(woman on PA)
Dr. Kelly,
please call the operator.
Dr. Kelly,
please call the operator.
And along with
Alexander Hamilton,
Benjamin Franklin...
is the other member
of our group
who was not a president.
Now, can anyone tell me
some of his accomplishments?
Caleb?
He invented
the postal service.
That's right. Anything else?
He was the first ambassador
to France.
Right again.
(Lucas)
And he fathered a bastard.
Sorry, kids,
slip of the tongue.
Morning, Ms. Coombs.
Morning, Sheriff Buck.
Can we help you?
Just in the neighborhood.
Just poking around.
Really.
Hope you don't mind me
breaking in on you.
You studying money?
Yes, we are.
Maybe I can help you...
'cause the buck stops here.
[children chuckle]
That's a buck, isn't it, son?
Yes, sir.
Who's that handsome devil?
George Washington.
Sheriff...
George "I cannot tell a lie"
Washington.
Father of our country.
Ms. Coombs, draw that line.
We really need
to get back to...
Work?
Yeah, you're busy as a bee,
aren't you?
Draw the line.
Now.
When they put
something on money...
that means
it's pretty important. Right?
George Washington was
our first president.
And they honored him
on this side.
Now, what about
the other side?
What about here?
(Caleb)
An eagle and a pyramid.
It's a Masonic Temple.
A temple?
Like this boy right here?
Caleb Temple?
[children chuckle]
Well, that's his name,
ain't it?
So, this side honors a temple.
Now, what's on top
of the temple?
(Caleb)
An eye.
An all-seeing eye.
The third eye.
The mystical source
of all power.
Sheriff...
Patience, Ms. Coombs.
We're almost finished
with our lesson.
Now, can you tell me
what's written beneath
the temple?
Right there
on that buck?
(Caleb)
Novus ordo...
seclorum.
That's Latin.
Latin for...
"an old order of
the ages is born anew."
That's right,
with each generation,
there can only be one.
One who sees all,
one who knows all...
and one who conquers all.
If you want to hurt me,
you did.
If you're upset about
Gail being pregnant,
I'm sorry.
And if you ever soil
my house again...
I'll cut out your heart
and use it for a chammy.
Why do you think they call it
the root of all evil?
I rarely get involved
with patients, Gail...
but when Dr. Peale told me
about you, I was intrigued.
(Gail)
Yes, I'm everyone's favorite
science project lately.
Your baby is growing
at a remarkable rate.
So I understand.
And since you're still
in your first trimester...
Where's this
3-pound baby hiding?
It is odd,
but not without precedent.
Are you aware that Lucas Buck
has another child?
Illegitimate.
Yes.
I just wasn't aware
that it was common knowledge.
I've known the sheriff
for a long time.
This is
Caleb's mother's chart.
Seven weeks into
her pregnancy, he weighed
four and a half pounds.
My god!
But at birth,
his weight was normal.
His growth slowed considerably
during the third trimester...
which is exactly the opposite
of the usual pattern.
And he was healthy?
Perfectly.
[grunts]
So, what do you make of this?
I don't know.
But I wanted to share
his history with you...
because I thought
it might ease your mind.
Caleb's mother
was my aunt, Doctor.
The day after
she gave birth...
she committed suicide.
You think
she knew something I don't?
You said that if I gave
that judge a placebo instead
of his regular medication...
that I wouldn't be
doing anything wrong...
I'd just be helping nature
take its course.
Is that what I said?
In return,
you promised to help my wife.
Why did you take her file?
Because I care.
She hasn't opened her eyes
in 2 years, Lucas.
2 years. I've been
waiting for a change.
You haven't done anything.
I'm not God, Yance.
I can't snap my fingers
and bring Doris back.
But that was the deal.
You said
you could do something.
No. I said,
"an eye for an eye."
You take care of the judge
and I take care of
your wife...
and all debts are paid.
She's still alive, isn't she?
That's not living.
But you said that you'd give
anything not to lose her,
and you haven't.
This is what you've done?
I know it's costly,
but at least
she don't eat much.
I thought that
you could revive her,
not just keep her breathing.
I don't remember
making that distinction.
My god.
You bastard.
Friend to few,
benefactor to many.
I'm ending this.
No.
She dies, you go to jail.
That's our deal.
No.
You've hurt too many people.
No more, Lucas. No more.
[door slams]
What are you having, a party?
Doctor says I should eat
a lot of protein.
[metallic clattering]
That's not all for you.
Man!
What do you got in there,
a football team?
Shh.
What?
Caleb doesn't know
that I'm pregnant.
You keep eating like that,
he's gonna figure it out.
(Caleb)
Ms. Holt?
[door shuts]
Don't tell him, okay, Ben?
I just want to make sure
that everything's all right.
(Caleb)
Ms. Holt?
It's your call.
Anybody seen Ms. Holt?
She went to the store.
(Caleb)
Oh.
(Caleb)
Could you give me my allowance
and she could pay you back?
What do you need it for?
Project.
(Ben)
How much do you get, bud?
$5 a week.
$5!
Here you go.
You got five singles?
Yeah.
(Ben)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
How's that?
Great. Thanks.
(Ben)
Hey, now.
You're not flimflamming me,
are you?
Me?
[Ben and Caleb chuckle]
[Ben chuckling]
You know, Lucas' son or not,
he's still a pretty good...
What the hell are you doing?
I'm hungry.
Gail, that's not anywhere
near cooked.
I'm hungry.
Have an apple or something.
You don't want to eat that.
Why not?
Because it's raw.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I'm just hungry, that's all.
Let me take you
and get you a cheeseburger.
No, I want this.
What's the matter with you?
Nothing!
Look, I'm just trying
to tell you that...
I know what
you're trying to tell me, Ben.
It's none of your business.
I'm hungry,
my baby's hungry...
so why don't you just
leave us alone.
You win the lottery?
No.
You must be mighty rich
to be cutting up
all that money.
You know why
our last name is Temple?
'Cause it was
our parents' name.
Your parents, my mother.
My father is Lucas Buck.
See, here's the temple
and here's the buck.
[paper rustling]
See? They go together.
Temple and Buck, that's me.
I don't know what
you're talking about, Caleb.
You ever heard of
the all-seeing eye, Merly?
Yes. What's your point?
It's right here.
This is Lucas' voice
I'm hearing.
Novus ordo seclorum.
An old order of the ages
is born anew.
That's me, too.
Caleb, Lucas is a part of you.
But that don't mean
you have to be like him.
I know.
The day will come when
you have to choose your path.
And I want you
to be strong enough...
to resist his influence.
I know, Merly, I know.
Don't worry.
The buck stops here.
(Yancy)
Honey, I don't know
what's keeping you alive.
But I know
you never wanted this.
I love you so much.
[cardiograph beeping]
That's why
I'm going to free you.
I'm gonna free you.
Soon as I take care of things.
(Billy)
What did you
expect him to do?
(Selena)
I don't know.
You should have seen
the look on his face.
Selena, Lucas Buck
always has
a look on his face.
I mean, we broke into
the guy's house.
He has a right to be pissed.
I don't know
how to stop him now.
Stop him from what?
Killing us.
I used to find
these little eccentricities
of yours endearing.
What's that?
Your finger.
It's your third eye.
Okay.
And the part of the brain
that's inside there's
called the pineal gland.
Did you know that?
It's all coming back.
Nobody's sure what it's for.
Less-evolved types think
it's the source of
some untapped power...
but we know better,
don't we?
It's the root of all evil,
darling.
(Selena)
And it's Lucas'
Achilles' heel.
What?
It's how you kill him.
Selena,
since we're still in the...
formative stages of
our relationship,
I'd hate to jeopardize it...
but I didn't realize
you were insane.
It's him or us, Willie.
Yeah, well,
murder's not on my resume.
You defiled his home.
You insulted his manhood.
Yeah, and you set me up.
I don't know
what's happened to you...
but I'm going back to Lucas'
to find those files.
When I see him,
I'm going to apologize...
for ever being
stupid enough to trust you.
And then...
Hell, then
I am checking one of us
into happy land.
[door opening]
Lucas?
You in here?
Look, I just want
to talk to you.
(Billy)
Lucas?
[switching light switch]
I'm going to have to get me
a security system.
Oh, my god.
Jesus.
(Nerone)
Did somebody shoot him?
(Billy)
A bullet didn't do this.
(Nerone)
Well, what happened?
Billy, what happened?
His third eye
must have blinked.
[nurses chattering]
(Nerone)
What were you doing
at his house?
(Billy)
I wanted to talk to him.
And this is
how you found him?
Yeah.
Was anyone else around?
Can we carry on
this interrogation
a little later?
I'd like to help the patient.
Are you sure?
(Nerone)
Stop by my office
when you're done.
Nurse.
(Ben)
How soon till he can talk?
(Billy)
Don't know.
Walking may be a challenge.
He's gonna pull through,
isn't he?
It's too soon to tell.
He's still critical.
[phone ringing]
Can you tell me what this is?
(Nerone)
It's a trocar.
What's it for?
In layman's terms,
it's a hole punch
for the skull.
We found this in the sewer
behind Lucas' house.
And you think this is
the attempted murder weapon?
Looks that way.
Has your fingerprints
all over it.
Yeah, well, if it's the one
from our hospital,
I used it this morning.
We found your fingerprints
on Lucas' bedroom window.
You find a bloody glove, too?
Look, I don't enjoy this
any more then you do.
I didn't do it.
I'm sorry, Billy.
But I have to take you in.
I don't have any choice.
Deputy Healy?
Yeah?
(nurse)
The Sheriff's asking for you.
[exhales]
Hi, Lucas.
How you doing?
Where's Caleb?
I don't know.
We haven't told him yet.
I need to see him.
Bring him to me.
Okay.
You want Gail, too?
No, just the boy.
[cardiograph beeping]
Lucas.
Can you tell me
who done this to you?
Just bring me my son, Ben.
As I go, so will he.
Novus ordo seclorum.
Novus ordo seclorum.
Novus ordo seclorum.
Novus ordo seclorum.
Novus ordo seclorum.
Novus ordo seclorum.
[birds chirping]
[gate clangs]
[footsteps approaching]
Caleb?
Hey.
What's going on?
Evening, Dr. Peale.
Look, I'm sorry about Lucas.
I know that...
You know what?
You know he was my daddy.
Caleb, I know what
you must be thinking,
but believe me, I never...
Never laid a hand on
what exactly, Dr. Peale?
Never laid a hand
on Lucas Buck?
Seems like you've had
your hands all over
my father's property lately.
What's this all about, Caleb?
Messed up bed sheets,
an open window.
You two
barely got away in time.
Hold it right there.
Selena, she's very upset
with my father.
She wanted you to kill him,
didn't she?
Stop it!
A man like you will do
anything to get
what you want, right?
What do you think?
I think
you're a dangerous man.
And if a person can't protect
his own property from you...
he can't protect himself.
So it's true,
Selena did want you to do it.
Selena belonged to Lucas,
Caleb.
In more ways
than you can imagine.
She was never
really mine.
Now, Caleb,
I don't want you
to be scared.
But he looks pretty bad.
I ain't scared.
He's been waiting for you.
It's in you, isn't it?
Yeah.
Come closer.
[inaudible]
[exhales]
Could you do that for me?
An old order of the ages...
Is born anew.
[cardiograph beeping]
[monitor buzzing]
[grunting]
(Nerone)
Code blue!
[nurses chattering]
200 joules, stat!
200.
(nurse #1)
Okay, let's go.
(nurse #2)
I got the defibrillator to go.
(nurse #2)
Stand away.
[nurses chattering]
(nurse #2)
Come on, time it.
Clear.
Everybody, clear.
[cardiograph buzzes]
(Nerone)
Damn.
(Nerone)
Nurse, 250 joules.
(nurse #2)
250.
Clear.
Again.
250.
Clear.
Come on.
[nurse chatters]
[cardiograph flatlining]
He's dead.
He's dead.
[bells tolling]
##[organ playing]
[mumbles]
You asked me once,
you said, "Who am I?"
I said, "You're Lucas Buck."
"You're Lucas Buck."
I never liked you.
And I never liked
your damn vest, neither.
You was always
a man of your word to me.
See you on the other side.
I don't blame you
for anything, Lucas.
I don't blame you
for anything at all.
No, nothing at all.
[grunts]
[Waylon grunts]
Well, Lucas,
you always tried to
get me to see things...
the way you wanted me to.
You never could.
But I'll tell you, I'd give
anything for an ounce of
your clarity right now.
I don't know how
this town's gonna function
without you.
To tell you the truth...
I don't know how I am, either.
Go on.
Is this real, Lucas?
Are you really dead?
You know,
I never believed you before,
but I guess I should now.
You son of a b*tch.
How could you let this happen?
Didn't you know...
Didn't you know
how much I loved you?
I am carrying your child.
(Selena)
Please.
Save it for your memoirs.
You're more dead than he is.
That child will rot with you.
Doris.
You're not going
to get any better.
I know that now.
I thought
Lucas could perform a miracle.
I waited and I prayed.
But demons don't
perform miracles, do they?
Hmm.
Forgive me, Doris.
For not having the courage
to do this sooner.
Oh, my god.
You've already gone.
You've gone without me.
[sniffs]
Doris.
"A lovely Apparition sent"
[Yancy sobbing]
"A lovely Apparition sent"
[Yancy sobs]
"Her eyes
as stars of twilight fair"
"Like twilight's, too,
her dusky hair"
Is this real?
Does it matter?
Thanks for the poetry.
It softened my dreams.
I love you.
I know.
Now, say it.
I can't.
You have to.
No.
Please, Doris.
Please.
Say it.
Goodbye.
Billy.
[door clanging]
You gonna let me out of here?
I'd like to.
Come on, Ben.
Look, you know
I didn't do this.
[plastic rustling]
What's that?
I was hoping
you could tell me.
We found it in the sewer
along with that thing
from the hospital.
Yeah, the trocar.
Right.
That look familiar?
Wordsworth.
You like poetry, Billy?
Hell.
I'm sorry.
We weren't sure
because of the initials.
Wait,
he put his initials in there?
Who?
The book doesn't
belong to me, Ben.
I told you,
I didn't kill Lucas.
But now we know who did.
"YL," right?
Yancy Lydon.
The pharmacist?
His wife's in a coma.
He reads that stuff
to her everyday.
But why would he
want to kill Lucas?
Because he blames him
for his wife's condition.
He's convinced
that Lucas stole
his medical files.
It was Yancy, Ben.
Now if you let me out of here,
I can prove it.
[plastic rustling]
Were the initials written
in pen or pencil?
How the hell should I know?
Good answer.
[keys jangling]
Yes, well.
I was just finishing up
the orders for the next shift.
Yes.
Yes.
Well...
would you mind
if I take off early tonight?
As you know, my wife...
Yes.
Thank you.
I really appreciate that,
Dr. Nerone.
Yes.
Yes, I took...
My daddy sent me.
Disconnect the phone.
Now you're going to get
a taste of your own medicine.
Rita, have you seen Yancy?
They let you go?
Temporarily.
Have you seen him?
Not since this morning.
He's probably in the pharmacy.
Billy.
His wife died.
You think that's
just a coincidence
that she's dead, too?
I don't know.
I don't know anything anymore.
Caleb?
Caleb?
(Billy)
Ben, help me get him up!
[gasping]
[grunting]
Look, he's going out.
Get him down.
(Billy)
Watch his head, keep him calm.
I'll get help.
No, there's no time.
I need something sharp,
scissors...
Give me your pen.
My pen?
Your pen, now...
get his hands
out of the way. Clear.
All right, hold him.
This is gonna sting.
[flesh rupturing]
(Billy)
Easy.
[Yancy groaning]
Just breathe, relax.
(Billy)
Just relax.
Show him the book.
We found this book
outside Lucas' house.
Is this yours?
I just saved your life, Yancy.
Now you can save mine.
I think you'll get
a full confession from him
once he can talk.
Right, Yancy?
(Ben)
Mr. Lydon, Mr. Lydon.
Mr. Lydon, was that little boy
in here with you?
(Billy)
Easy, just breathe, relax.
Breathe, relax.
Caleb?
Caleb?
[door opening]
[door squeaking]
The buck starts here.
[door banging shut]
