Beast of Trinity Texas, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

If you listen closely on a quiet night,

you can hear the beast

roaming through the woods,

you can smell him 50 yards away.

Legend has it, he m*rder*d

a whole tribe of Indians

just for being on his property,

and that's why we never

wander out into the woods.

He's always watching.

How many more Sasquatch stories

are we gonna have to listen to tonight?

But those are all just

made-up stories, Dad.

Right, Dad?

Why don't we call it a night, honey,

and yes, those are stories

straight out of your father's

overactive imagination.

You guys go ahead, I'll be right in.

Who are you?

What's wrong with you?

I'm writing because

I've tried everything else.

It's time that we talk and

let the past be the past.

I love you.

Been trying

to get in contact with you, Sheriff.

Where's the victim?

This way.

Hey, I'm warning you, it's bad.

I've never seen anything like this.

Where's the rest of him?

Out there?

You need to slow down

and take fewer breaths.

I know that there's been an intruder.

Yes, ma'am, slow, slow down, ma'am.

I understand that there has

been some kind of intruder,

but I need you to take a few deep breaths

and to speak more clearly.

It's Mrs. Shelton.

Yes, yes, I have it written down.

Yes.

Yep, your phone number,

address, I, I have it.

We will get back to you.

Okay.

Hello, this

is Dr. Mariella Hastings.

This message is for the

Sheriff and for the record,

this is my fourth attempt

to get a return call.

I'm the senior analyst

at the US Crypto

Zoological Research Center,

and as I've said before,

we have reason to believe

there may be some kind of

beast, a very dangerous one,

in your general vicinity.

I'm scheduling a trip to investigate.

Hey, Sheriff.

And it's protocol

to inform local authorities.

Hey, what's up?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, just people and their problems.

Oh, I tried calling at least

a dozen times this morning.

You almost had me worried.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I had an early call.

A friend over in Riverside

needed some help.

I'll keep a closer eye on my phone for now.

So this k*lling at the campground,

it's really that bad, huh?

Morning, Sheriff.

Morning, Clyde.

Ted Whiteman?

God, Sheriff, I heard what happened

to that family last night.

Yeah.

I've never seen anything like it.

And you have seen a lot.

Well, take a seat.

You know, it's times like these that we

as the leaders of Trinity

need to pull together.

So I'm offering up for any resources I have

to help with the investigation.

Sheriff, it's good to see you.

Can I get you something,

a coffee or an iced tea?

Yeah, coffee's fine, thanks.

Be sure to leave a

little room in the top of it.

Not for cream, of course.

Anyway, after hearing about what happened,

I went back through the town records.

You know, there hasn't

been a wild animal attack

since the 1930s.

Mama bear and her cub

came across a lone hiker.

What's got you convinced

it's an animal attack?

Well, I was told the body

was mutilated, is that true?

Well, what else could have

done something like that?

We haven't ruled out homicide yet.

Obviously, it was an animal.

Look, here's my concern.

We've got families moving

here around the clock

from California, New York,

a whole lot of investment

coming into our small town.

There's so much at stake here.

So if there's anything that

you need, just say the word.

Oh, and be sure to keep me in the loop.

Well, I really appreciate

the help, Mayor.

I seriously do.

Ha-ha, there he is.

Charles, it's good to see you.

Charles, this our town Sheriff.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you

I had another meeting.

Pleasure, name's Dun, Charles Dun.

Sheriff Titus Ridge.

Don't let me hold you

back, we all must be of help.

Hey, Sheriff, I mean it.

Anything you need, you should let me know.

Hi.

Howdy, Deputy, how can I help you today?

I need to

see your evidence supervisor.

Okay, you need to see

Layla, gimme one moment.

Hi, Layla, I got the Deputy over here.

He's looking for the evidence supervisor,

mind coming in for me?

Thank you so much, darling.

She'll be right with you, Deputy.

Thank you.

How can I help you, Officer?

I need to get a sample tested.

Well, let's get it logged, what is it?

Hair.

Okay.

And what is the presumed

source of the hair?

Unknown.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Calm down.

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm here, I'm here.

Take a few deep breaths.

Can I come in?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hey, you're okay.

Now, now listen.

Tell me what's going on.

Well, there's, it's

sounds from an animal.

It's, it's, it's wild.

It's everywhere.

Oh, just thank God you're here.

Okay, it was an animal this time?

It wasn't some noisy neighbor.

This, this is inside my house.

It, it's, it's a large animal.

Did you see anything?

No, no.

Okay, let me have a look around.

You stay put, I'll be right back.

Okay. - You're okay.

Okay.

What, what did you find?

I'm gonna give you a phone

number to a friend of mine.

He's an exterminator.

He'll come out and take

care of your animal problem.

So this fella can, can

take care of a wild beast?

Yeah.

Yeah, he'll take care of it.

Can't thank you enough, Sheriff.

Oh, bless you, Sheriff, for taking care

of the people of Trinity.

I, I heard about that

family and those, those kids.

My heart breaks for them.

Tori, I'm so sorry for the late notice,

but I am gonna be away for a while.

Taking a long overdue vacation.

Chief, is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Just please clear my

calendar for the next two weeks

and of course, if anything urgent pops up,

just sh**t me a text.

Okay. - Thanks.

Dispatch to Sheriff Ridge.

Copy,

this is Ridge, go ahead.

I've got another

report from Agnes Shelton.

A disturbance on her property,

you might wanna check it out.

Yeah, I already went by, it's nothing.

Now, she's saying there's

something behind her house,

out in the woods.

Get Miles on it.

He ran the

evidence down to Houston

and tonight he's got a

baseball game with his son.

I don't give a sh*t, get him over there.

I'm sorry.

Look, I've gotta look into something.

Have Miles swing by on

his way back from Houston

and check it out, I'm sure it's nothing.

Will do, Sheriff.

Hey, Sheriff,

how's it going, man?

My brother, I'm glad to see you.

What's going on, Colonel?

Driving to the VFW Hall this morning.

I noticed this construction crew

pulling up mustard around our bridge.

So naturally, I stopped to investigate.

Turns out they got a

permit to begin modification

for some high-speed rail.

That ain't gonna happen

on my watch, Sheriff.

I'll walk smack dab in

the middle of that bridge.

I'll lay down on it.

I'll be the first bridge

hugger in Texas history.

Yes, okay, calm down. - I will.

Gimme a minute.

Gentlemen. - Yeah.

Name's Sheriff Ridge.

Good to meet you, Sheriff.

How you doing?

Good. - Yeah.

I suppose you have

some kind of permit for this.

Yeah, sure.

Here, hold this.

There it is, Sheriff.

Now, I want you to know that I showed it

to these gentlemen earlier this morning

and they still wouldn't budge.

And this standoff here, this

standoffs costing us money.

Now, we got here early this morning

so that we could prep for demolition,

but then these yahoos decided to show up.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

show a little respect.

These guys served in a w*r.

It's not about money or a bridge to them.

They're just trying to protect a memory.

Okay, I'm, I'm sorry, Sheriff, all right?

This L.C. Hendricks Corporation.

This who you work for?

No, no. Sheriff.

No, no, no.

Hey, we are just subcontractors, that's it.

Look, day's almost over.

Let me make some phone calls,

I think I can get this

sorted out fairly quickly.

Okay, if you say so.

Alright men, we gotta go.

Let's head out.

You sure no one knows about this?

I've called everyone I can think of.

Nobody's heard nothing.

Something just doesn't smell right.

Hello, Sheriff.

Welcome, it's been a while.

I wish it were on better terms.

Yeah, Sheriff, I saw

the five o'clock news.

What happened to that

family, it was absolutely horrible.

That's why I'm here.

I'd like to show you a few pictures.

I don't want to take up

too much of your time,

but I'd like your opinion on 'em.

I have to warn you, they're brutal.

I don't need to get an

attorney here now, do I, Sheriff?

No, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

I'd like you to take a look at the photos

so you can let me know what kind of animal

could do this to a human body.

Sheriff, I'll be happy to help you.

Can I pour you a drink?

Yeah, I'd love one.

John, you've got quite the collection here.

Yeah, Sheriff, it didn't

start out being this way,

but these safaris get to

be a little bit of an obsession

after a period of time.

I'm gonna show you a photo

of the DB from the crime scene.

Okay.

Where's the rest of the body?

Sheriff, I've hunted the Amazon,

the Serengeti, the Congo,

pretty much all the woods of North America.

I have never seen, nor have I heard

of a creature that could

do this to a human body.

Thanks for your help, John.

Hey, anytime.

By the way, buddy, I

think you're gonna need

a bigger g*n for this one.

If you've got a minute, let

me grab something for you.

Yeah, sure.

Sheriff, this is an incredible

sh**ting system right here.

You won't see many of these.

This is a five by 30 by 56.

Stealth vision scope on a

300 PRC custom-built r*fle.

Incredibly accurate out to 1200 yards.

And it packs a thump when it hits.

Take it, keep it as long as you want.

I think you might need this.

And, and the exterminator went outside.

He saw broken limbs, and cracked trees,

and, and terrible things.

He said he thought it was

some kind of a, a bear or worse.

You know, I, I don't know,

but I, I am just glad that you're here.

Do, do you have a g*n?

You sure he said it's a bear?

Or worse.

Do you have a bigger g*n, Deputy?

I'll take care of it.

Just go inside and lock the door

until I come back up here, okay?

Okay.

I'm

missing my son's game

for a f*cking puppy dog.

So have you thought about

who you're taking to the fall dance?

It's always so romantic,

season changing, cooler air,

big Texas skies.

I don't know.

I mean, I haven't gone

to one of those since Jeff.

What an a*s?

I guess, there is someone

who might, maybe not.

Autumn, we have known

each other for three decades.

How dare you keep a

secret from me, who is he?

I demand to know right this second.

I gotta go, Titus just

walked through the door.

Well, Titus, who's that?

Sorry, the Sheriff, I gotta go.

Daddy, Daddy, you should've seen me.

I hit the ball just like you showed me

and we won the game, Dad.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm sorry I missed your game, big guy.

Did you at least catch the bad guy?

Huh?

You know I did, who you talking to?

Hey, why don't you go get cleaned up?

I'll get you tucked in.

I hope you've got a real good excuse

for missing your son's first game.

I got a late call, honey.

There's nothing I could do about it.

Miles, you have put

me through hell for years.

Left us for weeks on end,

traveling all around

the country playing ball.

Now, you've got your son

in there living out your dream

and you're not even around to see it.

Hey, come here.

Look, I'm sorry, I'll

make it up to you both.

No.

I'm not going anywhere, I promise.

Hey, you're here late.

You and Deputy

Deveraux were both on calls.

I wanna stick around just a case.

Can you help me with a few things?

I need you to look into a company,

the L.C. Hendricks Corporation.

They have a contract with

the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

Also, take a look at the

large indigenous animals

here in Trinity.

Hell, look all over Texas.

Could have migrated.

L.C. Hendricks Corporation

contracts on the bridge

and large indigenous animals.

Anything else?

No, that'll be it.

I knew I stuck around

for a reason, I'm on it.

Autumn, go home, you

can do it in the morning.

Are you sure, I can make

you a fresh pot of coffee?

Don't want you drinking that old stuff.

No, this'll be fine.

Get outta here, see you bright and early.

Um, speaking of heading out,

when was the last time you got away,

did something other than work?

A night out on the town?

Autumn, I've got a dead man on my hands.

First m*rder in Trinity County

since a gunfight back in 1872.

I'm so sorry.

Tell me again

about that one, Daddy.

That was the day I was drafted, big guy.

Do you think I could

play in the major leagues

like you did, Dad?

There's not a doubt in my mind.

But you're gonna need

a lot of rest, my man.

Okay, Dad?

Easy, easy, easy.

Damn it, Jeff, you almost

gave me a heart attack.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

I, I thought I'd surprise you.

Nah, it's more than that.

I miss you like crazy.

I can't sleep, I don't want to eat.

It's all wrong since you went away.

Damn, I could write a song about this.

I'm hurting bad.

Yeah, what does

Sarah think about all that?

I slipped up, baby,

but I'm, I'm different now.

How many times do I have to say I'm sorry.

I can't anymore.

I already told you that.

We both decided to go our separate ways.

But my heart is saying

something different.

Just gimme one more chance.

Our anniversary's coming up next week

and fall is here, baby.

Be my Autumn again.

Have you forgotten

everything you put me through?

Do you really think I

would just take you back?

No, but, but I was there

for you too, remember,

when your mom was in the hospital?

That was hard for me too.

But baby, I am so glad

that I stuck it out to help you.

I was the one there when you

had nothing else, remember?

So just, just think about it.

I'm here, okay?

Dad, why

won't you return my calls?

It's been 10 years.

We both made mistakes.

Dad?

Take this soul and bring

back the one they call Lucifer.

Waited a long time for this, boys.

Let's get us some honkies.

Hoorah.

Cover.

Cover me.

Cover.

Clear.

Man down.

Jeffers.

Jeffers stay with me, stay with me.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, no.

We made it through another one, boys

Sheriff, is your phone on?

Yeah, what do you need?

That doctor from the Crypto Zoo Agency,

the, the one that's been

leaving you all the messages.

Uh-huh?

She's here in your office.

Dad.

What are you doing here, Mar?

You're just gonna ignore my calls

and letters for the rest of your life?

I invited you to my wedding,

my graduation ceremonies.

Okay, sticking with the

usual, always avoiding.

But hey, at least you're consistent.

Let me give you a little dose of reality.

You're the one who left, not me.

And you wonder why.

Hey, what's up?

Just got a call from forensics.

No match on the sample.

What

the hell does that mean?

I asked

them the same question.

And?

They said they searched

the national database for

a potential animal match.

It's Mrs. Shelton, it

actually sounds urgent.

I'm coming with you.

The hell you are.

I'm not just here to hash things out.

I wanna help you work this m*rder.

What do you think you know about my case?

Like I've been trying to tell you,

we have a lot to talk about.

Hi, Dr. Mariella Hastings.

Miles Deveraux, nice to meet you.

So you and the Sheriff know each other?

Somewhat, I'm his daughter.

What?

Go away,

I said I wasn't interested.

Ms. Shelton, Trinity County Sheriff's.

We just need a few minutes of your time.

I'm, I'm sorry.

They've been harassing

me about selling my house

and that thing, whatever

it is, was back last night.

What was back?

I don't know exactly.

It's a wild beast.

We gotta get her outta here.

Now, what kind of doctor are you?

Okay.

My son will be here

tonight to, to pick me up.

Call the office if anything happens.

Okay.

Don't go outside if you can help it.

Okay.

United States Crypto

Zoological Research Center.

You know if you pick up the

phone every once in a while,

I wouldn't have to be catching you up

on 10 years in 10 minutes.

So lemme get this straight.

This US Crypto Zoo Center

is a part of the US government

and they investigate Bigfoot cases?

Among other unknown

or unverified species, yes.

And this tax-funded federal agency

sent you all the way down here

to find out if there's a

Sasquatch in Trinity.

Yes.

Mar, I always knew

you loved made-up stories.

I didn't think you'd

make a career out of it.

You had a man ripped apart

like he was made of straw,

trees snapped in half

like toothpicks everywhere.

What made-up story are you going with?

Black bear.

Black bear?

Seriously, that's your theory?

Come on, black bears

forge berries with their cubs,

plus their population

here is critically low,

thanks to you trigger happy Texans.

Then how do you explain

what's happening in this town?

And don't gimme anymore

of your mythical bullshit.

Dad, you're not listening to me.

I have spent the better half of a decade

researching this phenomenon.

And before you go and

roll your eyes at me again,

keep in mind that what

I'm about to show you here

is highly classified.

There have been sightings of this thing

all around the country.

Fouke, Arkansas, Estes Park, Colorado,

Mackinac Island, Michigan.

Sure, for the public, this is folklore,

but for us, it's well documented.

If this is true, how do we hunt it?

Have you forgotten who you are, Dad?

You were the youngest

officer in Houston PD history

to get promoted to detective.

Stay close and cover me.

Dad?

Dad, you okay?

All we have to go on is the body

we found at the campground.

And as most of you have

already heard by now,

it was ripped apart.

There were trees, large

ones snapped in half.

We found the same thing

at Ms. Shelton's home.

Finally, we found hair on the scene

that has no known matches to any species

in North or South America.

Damn, Sheriff, just what the hell

are we searching for then?

Good question.

And while this is all preliminary,

we do have some reason to believe

that we may be searching

for an unverified species.

A disputed creature.

No, wait, Sheriff, what

are we talking about,

like Bigfoot?

Roman, right?

Roger that, Sheriff.

We just need to follow the evidence.

And at this time, I want to introduce you

to Dr. Mariella Hastings, she has a theory.

Gentlemen, thank you all

so much for being here tonight.

As Sheriff Ridge just said, my

name is Dr. Mariella Hastings

and I work for the United States

Crypto Zoological Research Center.

Well, we are a government agency

that operates largely in the shadows,

and you're about to find out why.

Stay close.

Mar, wait.

I need to see the evidence.

Dammit, what does he want?

See you in the morning, Sheriff.

I'll wait in the car for you.

Gotta put a call in to my director.

Second m*rder in less than a week.

How close are you to a suspect?

Let me ask you a question.

Do you believe in?

Well, I'm not sure how to ask this.

There are people who believe in the,

there are myths and stories about-

What in God's holy name

are you dancing around, Titus?

Do you believe in Sasquatch?

Do you know what happened

in colonial Massachusetts

in the late 1600s?

Mayor, most days, I can't

remember what I ate for lunch,

but I got a feeling,

you're about to tell me.

For decades, people

were hunted down, arrested,

and tried for their sins.

A couple hundred people

were accused of being witches.

Was the largest case of

mass hysteria in America.

And it culminated in

the Salem witch trials.

Dozens of people were found guilty

and 19 were hanged to death.

Now, on the 300th

anniversary of the debacle,

11 of those 19 were

absolved to their crimes.

And a park was built to

commemorate the victims

of the Salem witch trials.

Now, the last thing we need in this town

is a witch or some sort

of a Sasquatch hunt.

Right.

One more thing before you go.

The protestors down at the bridge.

Yeah, I was supposed

to be following up on that.

Yeah, get 'em out of there.

Now, wait a minute, Ted.

You know that's a

veteran's Memorial bridge.

They're protesting something much bigger

than a construction project.

Titus, listen, there is nothing

that's gonna stop what's in motion.

That high-speed rail that's coming

is part of a huge federal contract.

That bridge is being retrofitted

so a billion-dollar b*llet train

can come through our town.

Now, this is big for us.

It'll bring a lot of money with it,

which means increased

budgets for our services,

including your office.

How come no one has heard of this?

And wasn't that bridge

donated as a memorial?

How is this even legal?

It was set aside by the city.

Look, it was cheaper to

paint it and put up a plaque

than to tear it down.

But there's a clause in the contract

and the powers that be

maintain sole discretion

of how it's used.

You know these veterans are just trying

to keep a memory alive.

It's, it's much bigger than

this construction project.

Look, if you wanna save face,

I'll get the state

troopers to take care of it.

No, I can handle it.

Look, I, I realize this hits

close to home for you, all right?

But we'll build a brand

new Veteran's Memorial

right in the middle of town square.

You have my word on that.

That might make it a little easier.

Good.

Have them out of there by

the end of the day tomorrow.

Look, I know you're under a lot of pressure

with all of this.

I just want to help.

And speaking of help,

have any other agencies

been nosing around Trinity or your case?

No, why?

Well, we just wanna keep

this as local as possible.

So you let me know if that changes.

Right.

My name's Sean Baker.

This song is called "Trouble".

And it was written for you.

I think of you, every

time I see a blue bonnets.

Yeah, that was our thing.

Sit amongst the flowers,

talk about the future.

I can't rewind time, but I promise you,

Ima work every day for the rest of my life

to make you happy.

Otherwise.

Otherwise, what?

Otherwise, I'm gonna tear

up every blue bonnets in Texas.

Without you, I don't wanna see it.

Gimme one dance.

Lemme twirl you around

like the princess you are.

One dance.

Come on.

She thunders always on his a*s

And rain is such a fool

I'm rolling riding shotgun

With the wind blowing strong

That storm's got a mind of her own

That storm's got a mind of her own

I need to freshen up.

I'm gonna grab another

drink, stay with me.

One more hour.

Alright.

Sound of love the right wrong

Come closer in this song

And the devil takes hold my hand

Down a road that'll never end

Those blue bonnets, you

better start ripping 'em up.

Over this?

Who's she?

No one.

And the devil takes hold my hand

Here you go.

Thanks for the drink.

It's the only extra space I have.

I know it's not much,

but it's what I've got.

You want a drink?

Yeah, I'd love one.

Thanks.

Do you know why I always

loved stories so much as a kid?

Because you were always

the best at telling them.

Every night, remember?

They were exciting and scary,

but they always had a good ending.

Always made me feel

safe enough to fall asleep.

But after mom left, you

stopped telling them.

And when I grew up and got

older, I realized the hard way,

that life doesn't always

have a good ending.

Mar, look at me.

Tonight, when he ran off into the woods,

I thought I might never see you again.

Don't put yourself at risk

over this investigation.

Promise me, with all that's going on,

you'll be more careful.

I promised, Dad.

I've got an early morning.

I usually watch a little

TV before I go to bed.

Is that gonna bother you?

No.

No, I'm gonna sleep well tonight.

Good night. - Night, Dad.

Take the street, we'll

head him off at the corner.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Put the bag down.

Freeze.

Put the bag down.

Freeze.

What's wrong with you?

Oh, no, no, no.

He's a mistake.

No.

Dad, Dad.

Are you okay?

Good morning, Sheriff.

Sheriff, is everything okay?

Yeah.

You have a moment to talk?

Of course.

Last night when you asked me

if I ever get out, the answer's no.

And I'm sorry about how I acted.

I understand.

It's just everything that's

going on with this town.

I can't seem to-

Hey, coffee makes everything better.

You're right.

I looked into those

permits like you asked me to.

They're registered to L.C.

Hendricks Corporation,

headquartered outta Houston, Texas.

L.C. are the founder's initials.

They stand for Louie Cormac.

I also looked into large animals in Texas.

Bovine, wild hog.

Yeah, let me guess.

Black bear, nearly extinct?

Dr. Hastings filled me in.

It was nice to meet your daughter.

Yeah, she's, um, something else.

Is she still around?

Yeah, she's staying at my house.

Just working on some reports

for her boss or something.

Must be nice having family at home again.

I just mean I'd like to have

somebody at home too.

I mean family, not just somebody.

Hey, Autumn, I need you to

look into somebody else for me.

Guy by the name of Charles Dunn.

Of course, anything else?

Yeah, you seen Miles today?

He said he was gonna be a little late.

He had to bring his kid to school.

Of course.

Dad, why'd you sleep on the couch?

Well, sometimes you

gotta switch things up.

You know, like when the pitcher's

got the ball and he

thinks he's got you down,

'cause you got two strikes,

and he gives you a big wind-up.

And what do you do?

Switch things up.

Then you grab that bat,

you get in the batter's box,

you give him a look that says, hmm-hm,

I'm not gonna miss it this time.

And boom, crush that ball.

Okay, Dad.

Will you make it to the game tonight?

Son, I'm gonna do my best, okay?

Go get you some breakfast,

you need your strength.

Mom, what's the breakfast?

What's going on?

Ridge, these assholes

aren't understanding.

This bridge stays intact.

Oh, oh, whoa.

We have every right to be here,

but because of you th*gs

draped in your American flags,

Sheriff, we are two days behind schedule.

Hold on.

No, you heard what I said.

Gimme a minute, gimme a minute.

Carl, I verified the permit's legit.

Yeah, so what's the plan?

What's our next move, Sheriff?

There's a way to fight this.

We may not know it yet,

but there's always a way.

You're not understanding me, Carl.

There's nothing you or me or

anyone else can do about this.

This is happening.

Have you lost your nerve, Ridge?

What happened to

standing up for what's right?

Are you gonna let your

brothers go down like this?

You've got 20 minutes to get yourself

and your people outta here

before I hand out some tickets.

Ridge, don't you see what's happening?

It's right under your nose.

Attention, men, we

got a traitor on our hands.

Time to regroup.

Where you been, Deputy?

I

hung back this morning,

took my son to school.

You know, we've got two

dead bodies on our hands

and zero evidence as to

who's behind the killings.

And we've been putting in the hours.

Just thought I'd play a little catch-up

with my family, that's all.

Miles, you're not playing

games anymore for a living.

Now, go interview the campground owner.

Take as long as you need,

we're missing something.

Autumn, gimme Ms.

Shelton's next of kin address.

I need to get over there

as quickly as possible.

Miles, he didn't mean it.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right,

pressure's getting to him.

I'll be okay.

How can I help you, Deputy?

Are you Sam Walker, owner

of Trinity Oaks Campground?

Former owner.

I

have a couple questions

I need to ask you, do

you mind if I come in?

Yeah, come on in.

Hey,

Mar, what's going on?

Hey, Dad.

So I've compared the way

the trees were snapped in half

to the other sightings

and they're consistent,

and the way the bodies

were found, this has to be it.

I just have to finish up some reports

and then I can join you.

Okay.

I'm getting ready to interview

Ms. Shelton's next of kin.

Maybe we can link up and

compare notes afterwards.

Well, what

other evidence do you have?

Not a damn thing.

Dad.

Yeah.

Back when you were in homicide

working the Buffalo Bayou k*ller case,

I remember you told me something.

Dad?

Go ahead.

I remember you

telling me to k*ll someone

and get away with it you have to be rich.

Where are you?

I, I'm at your place.

Just finishing up some reports.

I gotta go.

Your mom was sweet,

I'm sorry for your loss.

Who would do such a thing?

We are doing everything within our power

to find the k*ller.

Just tell me what to do so I can help.

Can you think of anybody

who might have wanted to hurt your mom?

My mom was a saint, she was all heart

and she gave everything

she had to the poor.

There's not a person I could think of

who would do something like this.

Sheriff, I've hunted

the Amazon, the Serengeti,

Congo, all the woods in North America.

I've never seen or even heard of an animal

that could do this to a human body.

Sheriff.

Sheriff.

Do you have any more coffee?

Of course.

We tried to pull an address for Samuel

and we couldn't find one.

Yeah, Samuel likes to stay off the grid.

I'm gonna need you

to write down his address

along with a list of

people who've had contact

with your mother in the last 30 days.

Of course.

But here's the thing.

All she did was clean that house

and go to church once a week.

Know the name of the church?

Sheriff Ridge, welcome.

What's happening in

this town is simply evil.

I understand you knew Agnes Shelton.

Our Father instructs

us to care for the widows

and the fathers, it's one

of our house colleagues.

Um, my apologies,

but for the sake of time,

specific answers would be most helpful.

Yes, of course, I knew Agnes,

she was one of our most faithful members.

We celebrated, worshiped,

and even shed tears together.

So you've heard what happened to her?

Mm, I was informed by her daughter.

She included the heinous details.

Any ideas about who could

have done something like this?

Are you familiar with

the Old Testament, Sheriff?

I only ask because in the Old Testament,

pagan worshipers sacrificed to false gods.

Do you know what those sacrifices entailed?

No, I do not.

Dismembered bodies.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Do you believe in God, Sheriff?

Thanks for your time.

Have you ever asked the

question, what's wrong with me?

What did you just say?

I asked if you had questioned the son.

Agnes was deeply concerned for her son.

Have you spoken to him yet?

I'm, I'm heading there next.

I've prayed for him many times,

but have to warn you,

Sheriff, he's haunted.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

Thanks, Pastor.

Ridge.

Ridge.

Samuel Shelton, Trinity

County Sheriff's Office.

I'm coming in.

Mr. Shelton, you around?

I'm here just to talk.

Samuel?

Autumn, have Miles meet

me at the station, immediately.

I've got a bad feeling.

Let me see your hands.

Oh sh*t.

Easy.

Are you Samuel Shelton?

No.

Get out of here, go.

Are Samuel Shelton?

No, he's in the back, cutting meat.

Clear.

Are Samuel Shelton?

No, no, he's in the back.

Get outta here.

Clear.

Samuel, Samuel.

Let me see your hands.

Do you

mind stating your name

for the record?

Samuel Quentin Shelton.

Do you know what happened

to your mother, Samuel?

Yeah, I got a call from

my sister this morning.

You don't seem too upset.

Do I look like an emotional guy to you?

How long have you been a butcher?

Why don't you just come out with it?

You wanna know if I k*lled Agnes Shelton,

if I hacked her body up

like I do to those animals?

Okay.

Did you k*ll your mom, Samuel?

No.

No way, I could never.

She gave birth to me, she raised me.

How'd I do, you like that answer?

I just, I thought I could

trust him, but I'm stupid.

I should have learned the first time.

No, honey, your heart is just longing,

but you're just not attracting true love.

You have to center yourself.

What?

What are you talking about?

Close your eyes.

Avery.

Just trust me.

Okay, my eyes are closed.

Now, repeat after me.

My heart is open and ready for love.

Go on, I'm waiting.

My heart is open and ready for true love.

Okay.

Again, but really mean it this time.

My heart is open and ready for love.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Wait, what?

Did it work?

I have to let you go.

We saw your mom yesterday.

She's a sweet, she was a sweet lady.

No, you didn't f*cking know her.

There was a disturbance at her house.

We asked her to clear out

before we could figure

out what was going on.

Lemme take a stab,

you didn't figure it out.

She told us you would

be by to pick her up.

Did you go to your mom's house last night?

Hey, she was a friend from school.

Nothing more, nothing less.

What are you doing here?

You can't just show up like this.

I hadn't seen her in 10 years.

There's something with you.

It's gonna be okay, baby.

It's gonna be all right.

Hey, come here, it's gonna be okay.

Have you been drinking?

No, no.

It's gonna be okay?

No.

It's gonna be okay. - No.

We're gonna make it work.

Not anymore.

Get away.

Come on, relax.

Get off me, get off of me.

Get your hands off of her, get off her.

I was consoling her.

We have history.

You son a b*tch, if you

ever come near me again,

I'll file a restraining order.

Do you need a formal invitation to leave?

Get your ratty a*s outta here.

You're making a big mistake.

Keep walking, dip sh*t.

Yeah, I went by.

What happened?

She's a stubborn old b*tch.

Now, why would you

say something like that?

We never saw eye to eye.

You know I went by your mom's church

and the pastor said

she prayed for you a lot.

f*ck you both and f*ck her prayers.

Sit your a*s down.

Hey, hey, back up.

Samuel, take, take it easy, have a seat.

We're not against you.

Just trying to figure things out.

All right.

But what happened next?

Are you still picking me up, son?

Where the hell are you gonna stay, huh?

I don't think my place is quite your style.

Can you ask your

sister to, to pick me up?

Then why the hell am I here?

Why didn't she come?

Because there are bad things happening.

And I thought you could protect me.

Protect you?

Wow.

What a strange turn of events.

All those years when I needed protection

from dad's beatings,

from the belt, from the bat,

where the hell were you?

Huh?

We had a marriage covenant.

And I had faith that it would work out.

f*ck your religious

hypocrisy, I'm your son.

What happened next?

She asked me to leave,

said God would protect her.

And?

I took out my chainsaw and fired it up.

No, I just left.

You know, you've got a

real twisted sense of humor.

I guess that's what a

f*cked up childhood will do.

Messes with the wires.

Where'd you go

after you left your mom's?

I went to my girl's house,

and we got high as an

eagle's nest, and had some fun.

She'll

back your story on that?

Oh, she'll give you

all the details you want.

Write your girlfriend's name

and address down.

And you're free to go, for now.

But don't leave time until

we get to the bottom of this.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Sometimes I just feel like

I'm inviting this crap into my life.

I know what you mean.

My marriage lasted less than a year.

I guess your man pickers broke too, huh?

Hey, why don't we go

grab something to drink?

We can talk things out, just us girls.

I could really use a glass of wine.

Go by the girlfriends, make

sure the story checks out.

Yeah, I'll do it first

thing in the morning.

No, do it tonight,

we're running outta time.

Yeah, Sheriff, I know but-

Miles, what's wrong with you?

You got laziness in your blood.

What the f*ck is that supposed to mean?

I didn't mean anything by it, Miles.

I'm sorry.

No, I think you mean a whole lot.

Once it's out, it's out.

You can't take that back.

I'm under a lot of pressure right now.

Pressure?

Man, my family's blowing up

and all you can say is quit playing games

and get the laziness outta of your blood.

Lemme tell you something about pressure.

A man's true character shown

when life weighs down on him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing, Miles?

Don't do this right now.

Come on.

Man, I gotta get things

straight with my family.

You might wanna think about doing the same.

So how long

have you worked with my dad?

Oh, around six years now.

Wow, he's hard to figure out, isn't he?

Yeah.

But deep down inside,

behind all that armor,

I believe there's a sweet-

Hey.

No, no, no.

You can't just stop it sentence like that.

You feel something for him, don't you?

Ladies.

Hey, Dad. - Sheriff.

I was just getting ready to go.

You know, we're not quite

at a celebration point yet.

We've got a m*rder*r on the loose

wreaking havoc in our town.

Dad, we didn't go into spring break mode

or anything like that.

We're simply unwinding

over a glass of wine.

That's just what women do.

Autumn, I'll see you bright and early

at the office in the morning.

Thank you for today.

Don't say a word.

Where'd you go today, Mar?

I, I spent some

time down at the Trinity River

comparing evidence with what we found

at the Second Victim's home.

And?

k*ller's the same,

same marks on the trees.

Same thing I've been

following all across the continent.

You're sure?

Yes, I'm more sure than ever.

You can stop searching for humans

and start searching for Sasquatch.

Come back to reality, Mar.

You know, you've got a real

knack for pushing people away.

Oh, yeah.

Is that how you justify running out on me?

No, I justify that a different way,

to save myself from you.

You know, when your mom walked out on us,

I told myself that I would

do everything that I could

to give you a good life.

And how'd you do, Dad?

Because the way I remember

it, you were hard on yourself

and everyone around you.

And when you looked at me-

I saw her.

And that's what drove me away.

Oh, that anger inside you

is what's been eating you alive ever since.

And here I am back in

your life for a few days

and you don't even see me.

You won't listen to a word I have to say.

Mar, I'm listening.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Coming all the way down here

hoping you would show up, the real you.

You couldn't even show up to my wedding.

Mar, that was a mistake and I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

It doesn't matter now, Dad.

It doesn't matter, you're too late

because it turns out, a lot like mom,

things got hard in my marriage, so I left.

Mar, I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

It's, it's not like having you around

would've helped anyway.

You know, I used to think

there wasn't a problem

in the world you couldn't solve.

But I guess I should have

learned when mom left.

There's plenty you can't fix.

Mar.

Rose, we're home.

It took us a little longer because

we stopped for ice cream.

All right, gentlemen,

just like we rehearsed.

Trigger man, ready?

Ready.

Doorman at the ready.

Ready.

Weapons at the ready.

Opening on two and three.

1, 2, 3.

Oh, f*ck.

Lock it up, lock it up.

Do not sh**t.

Do not sh**t.

Do not sh**t.

Hit him, hit him, hit him.

Make a hole, send him in.

Oh, God, what is that?

His

name was Frank Murphy,

served in Vietnam.

The paramedics, they got a pulse on him,

but he coded just as they got here.

He didn't make it.

I thought he had a g*n.

I was sure he was gonna

fire Detective Fields.

He, he wasn't armed.

He was reaching for his hearing aid.

Oh God.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Now, the, the next few months

is gonna be a tough process, Ridge.

And I'm going to advise you

to speak only to your union rep

and an attorney from here on out.

Oh, God.

I k*lled an innocent man.

No, no, no, no.

Oh, no.

Hello, this is Sheriff Ridge.

What?

What, what do you mean?

What do you mean?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Dad, who is that?

Oh God, no.

Dad, what's wrong?

What is it?

Got another one, Sheriff.

Ridge, don't you see what's happening

right under your nose?

Man, it hasn't been 24 hours.

What do you want, Ridge?

A third victim turned up last night.

What?

Who?

Carl.

Carl.

You, you served with him, didn't you?

Look, I'm sorry, man.

Miles, I can't do this

alone, I need your help.

I told you I'm done.

Hold on.

Move your damn foot

before you make me mad?

Miles, what I said last night

was wrong, and I'm sorry,

but I really need your help.

And I know you have

regrets about your family,

but the fact is, is we've

got a k*ller on the loose

wreaking havoc on our town.

Who's to say he or whatever this thing is,

won't come for your family next?

Shh, let me worry about my family, Ridge.

I said I'm done.

I'm sorry, brother, I

can't let you go, come back.

f*cking hell, get off of me.

I'm not letting go.

I'm sorry.

Ridge.

You punched your boss

out in our living room?

Technically, he's not my boss anymore.

Excuse me, what?

Yeah, I quit my job yesterday.

When the hell

were you gonna fill me in?

Well, it might have helped

if I had a chance to talk to you

instead of being locked out of our bedroom.

You cannot punch the Sheriff out

without repercussions, honey.

He's white.

You better fix this and get

your damn job back, Miles.

Hey, Sheriff fridge, it's been too long.

I'm gonna get you some ice for that, okay?

I'll come back on one condition.

Anything.

What is it?

You need to get your a*s some help.

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't play dumb with me.

I've been sniffing booze on

your breath since you hired me.

You need a program, therapist,

religion, something, man.

You need to face those

demons eating you alive.

Yeah, you might wanna get that looked at.

I got what I had coming.

Deal.

So your mysterious

doctor daughter, is she crazy,

or do we really have a

monster on our hands?

I'd like to rule out all

other possibilities first.

Still want me to

check into the girlfriend?

You're badge and g*n

are in my passenger seat.

I'm getting ready

to head over to the crime

scene to search for markings.

My guess is I'll find

a match to the others.

You need an address?

No, I got it from Autumn.

And Dad, I'm sorry for what I

said, I was just mad and hurt.

It's okay, Mar, I'm listening now.

And by the way, I'll be out

of pocket for a little while.

I gotta make a run down to

Houston to look into something.

Oh, what is it?

It's just a possible lead

I need to follow up on.

Wait, is everything okay?

My gut's telling me I'm

missing something, Mar.

Sheriff, Mr. Hendricks will see you now.

Sheriff Ridge, sure hope the other guy

got what he had coming.

Yeah, just doing some

yard work, rogue limb.

Okay.

So how can I be of assistance?

I'd like to ask you a few questions

about the high-speed rail

that's planned to go through Trinity.

Your company does have

the contract on that, correct?

Sheriff, I believe you

already know the answer to that.

We had a little trouble down at the bridge

that you were able to help us navigate.

I'm a man that likes to know the details.

And yes, we've been contracted

with Federal Highway authorities

to build the entire rail system.

It'll stretch all the way

from Canada to Mexico.

So as you can imagine,

I've got a busy calendar.

So anything else I could help you with?

Yeah, I'd like to see those contracts.

And why might you wanna see that?

Because the lead

protester, a friend of mine

and a veteran who served this country

was m*rder*d last night.

Sorry to hear that.

Well, I'll have to refer you

to our legal department.

Now, these contracts,

well, they can be a bit tricky,

so it may take a while.

Got a name and phone number?

Well, it's more like a team

that handles our legal affairs.

They occupy the entire 18th floor.

I'll let 'em know you're coming,

but they're gonna want a subpoena.

Hi, I'm Deputy Miles Deveraux,

Trinity County Sheriff's Office.

I'm looking for Shiela Montez.

Is that you?

Yeah.

Well, that's the name my mama gave me,

but people know me as Angel.

I'm here to inquire

about where you were last Tuesday night

between the hours of eight and midnight.

Yeah, okay.

Samuel Shelton said

that you were his girlfriend

and that you two were together

here the night in question.

Well, I'm not big on titles.

I like to keep my options

open, if you know what I mean.

Back to Tuesday night.

Yes, he was here

with me for quite a while.

I think he arrived a

little bit before eight

and stayed until the wee hours.

And how'd you guys spend the evening?

We got drunk, naked,

spent most of it f*cking.

Is there any way you can back that story?

Officer.

Well, how much evidence would you like?

I could reenact the entire evening for you

or I could show you some footage.

I am somewhat of a fledgling actress.

So what you gonna choose?

Big boy.

I think I got what I need.

But thanks for giving us some help.

You stay safe out here.

Why?

Are you afraid of the beast?

I, I have footage of that too.

Thank you so much for joining today

because we're going to have content

that's going to be a

little bit wilder than usual.

Just how you like it and

exactly what I give you,

this, and like this,

and like this, like this.

They're hiding something.

Who?

The L.C. Hendricks Corporation.

Autumn, see if you can find a record

showing a city contract on the bridge.

I'll get right on it.

Before I forget, Charles Dunn,

the person you asked me to look into.

Yeah?

He's a Texas Railroad Commissioner.

Good work.

Miles, what'd you find out

about Samuel Sheldon's girlfriend?

Stories line up.

They were together during

the night of the m*rder.

What's your gut telling you?

Well, I got something

else I need to show you.

Thank you so much for tuning in

'cause today we're going to have content,

but it's going to be wilder than usual.

Just how you like it and

exactly what I give you.

Miles, what the hell

did you get yourself into?

Give it a minute.

Oh, my God.

Now, look, right there, around his neck.

What's that look like to you?

Some kind of collar.

Right.

Right.

So whatever this thing

is, it's really out there.

It's all actually true.

Yeah, that definitely means

your daughter ain't crazy.

She said she's been trying to warn me.

Autumn, where's our map at Trinity County?

All right, what are we looking for here?

Show me exactly where the campground is.

It's right here,

just east of where Highway

75 and FM 124 come together.

Now, show me where the

Veterans Memorial Bridge is.

Son of a b*tch, right

through Miss Shelton's home.

What did she say the day

we went to go visit her?

They've been pestering

me about selling my home.

Thanks for your help, Mr. Walker.

That was the former

owner of the campground.

Says he sold to a company

called White Dunes Realty.

Company is registered to Adam Galveston.

I can send you the address.

I'm up for a drive.

First thing in the morning.

Go home to your family.

Sheriff, I was

just getting ready to call you.

I couldn't find any current

contracts on the bridge,

but I did find one from back in 2003.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that one.

The bridge was gifted by

the city to be a set aside

for a veteran's memorial.

Then there's a clause,

it states that the bridge can be reclaimed

by its original owner after

15 years if deemed necessary

for greater public benefit or other.

Who's

the contract between?

P.B. Whiteman and Company and Trinity?

I called the Secretary of State

and the company was owned

by the late Patrick Bell Whiteman.

Let me guess, there's a

relationship to the mayor.

P.B. Whiteman was his father.

I gotta go

Hey, you sure this is the right address?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I'm looking the map right here.

Man, that was a long day.

I'm glad it's finally done.

What'd you just say?

Man, I'm just glad the day is done.

You got a pen and a piece of paper?

Yeah.

Good God, it's Stockridge.

What's up my brother?

You still in Houston?

Ah, I can't seem

to escape the concrete jungle.

I need some help.

Anything you need, brother.

Cheers to a profitable venture.

And the start of phase two.

Who knew government

contracts could be so lucrative?

Oh God, I am ready to

have that thing off my land.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, when

are they gonna take it away?

Tomorrow night.

You sure?

Well, supposedly.

I don't know.

I've been getting mixed signals recently.

Some analyst, pretty young thing.

Seems to have more

questions for me than answers.

Yeah, it's the government,

head rarely knows

what the a*s is up to.

Speaking of which, you

gonna have any problems

with the Sheriff?

Nah, that guy's a drunk,

couldn't investigate his

way out of a wet paper sack.

It's a good thing he didn't

get too close, though.

Would've been a shame to waste him.

It is so good having an

empty badge to push around.

Hell yes.

Son of a b*tch.

What the

hell are they doing here?

Look, stay calm.

Wait for me in the study.

I can handle this.

You better or else?

Gentlemen, I assume

you have some good news.

Mind if

we come in for a moment?

I don't, I don't have

a whole lot of time.

But I can spare a few minutes.

I ought to commend both of you,

you'll have not stopped working this case

since that poor family lost their father.

Cut the sh*t, Whiteman.

Tell us everything you know

about White Dunes Realty.

We know the company is owned by a trust

and if we get a judge to open that trust,

we believe it's gonna show you.

Well, howdy, boys?

Now, we can't let you ruin

what we worked so hard on.

Raise your hands above

your head, slowly now.

Dammit, Ridge, I sure hate

that it's come down to this.

I'm gonna give you one chance.

Drop your weapons, now.

Looks like we got ourselves

a real-life Mexican standoff.

Son of a-

How bad are you hit?

I'll be okay.

Get that as*h*le.

Jackson, call for medics and backup.

God damn you, Ridge.

Why couldn't you just keep drinking

and doing your small-town Sheriff thing?

Is it really that simple?

You point it in the

direction you want to k*ll?

Something like that.

Is there really enough

money to justify the lives

of three innocent people?

And now, you've got a

Texas Ranger and your partner

dying on your front living room floor.

Now, I'm gonna transform this town

into something worth talking about.

It's not too late, Ridge, you can join me.

Oh God, it's real.

Keep your g*n on Whiteman.

Mayor, you've already

seen I got a quick trigger finger.

Give you one chance to

lay whatever that is down.

k*ll him.

Don't sh**t, he's not a k*ller.

Don't do it.

Get outta here, now's your chance.

Go.

Who else is behind this Whiteman?

You've only scratched the surface, Ridge.

What the hell does that mean?

Who's running this?

I'm just a pawn in the game.

Talk to me, you son of a b*tch.

Is Elsie Hendricks involved?

Dad?

Autumn told me that you

guys had a breakthrough.

Are you okay?

Well, we are a government

agency that operates largely

in the shadows and

you're about to find out why.

Where are you?

I, I'm at your place.

Just finishing up some reports.

1963, JFK assassinated,

the Don L. Hunter interview

of Sasquatch Sighting.

1967, scandals in the Lyndon

B. Johnson administration.

The Patterson-Gimlin file surfaces.

1981, attempted assassination

on President Reagan,

multiple sightings,

Chesapeake, Northwest River.

Just some of the evidence.

I'm finally listening.

Who are you?

I've gotta stop running, Dad.

Who do you work for?

The CIA.

Then what's the USCRC?

It's just to cover.

It's a shell operation.

And the beast?

We use it for a distraction.

We use it to redirect the

people's attention for confusion.

The Beast is just a tool

that's used by an agency

that will go to any extreme

to accomplish its goals.

How long?

Decades.

How big is this?

It's just one of many

in the house of cards.

UAPs, weapons of mass

destruction, cyber wars,

t*rror1st attacks, all of

it, they're all just tools.

But if you can expose

this, then it all unravels.

Why you?

Why me?

Why the victims?

And why this town, Mar?

Because I was told that we

worked for the greater good

and I believed it.

And as every advancement got greater,

the lies got bigger and

the stakes got higher.

Oh, no, no, no, not

you, Mar, not my baby.

I have been trapped for so long.

But I knew that you

could put a stop to this

because you're smart, and capable,

and you were drowning, Dad.

This is too big to go back in the box

and be hidden like it's been in the past.

And I know you will do what's right, Dad,

because that's who you really are.

You did good, sweetheart.

You don't have to run anymore, Mar.

I'll take it from here.

She's ready.

We'll handle this the best way possible.

She's gonna need protection.

You can count on me.

I owe you one, Jackson.

My brother, you saved

my life back in the sandbox.

Hey, gonna figure this out, okay?

Daddy.

Mar, what's wrong?

My name is Eli and I'm an alcoholic.

Hey, Eli.

Some of you already know my story,

but I never thought I had a problem.

I worked hard, I put on a good show,

and I tried to keep most people out of it,

but the people who really

knew me, who really cared,

they saw where I was.

And they pushed me to get

real help, to make real change.

And that's what this is all about.

Making real change with

people who really care.

So let's start by saying

the Serenity Prayer.

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Amen, amen.

Well, why don't you get us

started and we'll go clockwise.

My name's Penny.

I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Penny.

I think my need to escape

started when I was a kid.

I got really tired of the lies, you know,

hiding from my family,

and my kids, and everybody.

You know, it's just, it's hard.

Who are you?

My child, surrender.

It's the only way.

And that was the moment

when everything changed.

I had to admit I couldn't do it by myself.

I needed God and his children

to hold me up, to help me.

Guess I was broken.

That's awesome, Penny.

Keep coming back.

Thank you, Penny.

Would you like to go next?

My name's Titus and I'm an alcoholic.

Welcome, Titus.

Titus.

That took a lot of courage

admitting you needed help.

It's good.

This is just the beginning, brother.

How do you feel?

I feel in alignment,

like everything's changed.

Yeah.

Well, you got a whole lot

of change coming your way.

You're gonna go through

the pink cloud phase, alright?

It's, it's new passions and ideas.

Whole new way of thinking.

You might even hear voices,

see visions, all good things,

it's all good things.

Just remember who you are.

And keep coming back.

Okay.

Hi, Titus.

Hey.

You sure you're ready for this?

Yeah.

Hey, you guys leaving already?

Yeah, man.

We had a ball game to go to.

Aaron, come on, baby, we gotta go.

Okay.

Oh yeah, hey, Ridge,

my phone will be off.

Hey, it's a real special night

for Sheriff Ridge and Autumn.

You got something you can play for them?

I sure do.

Thanks. - Sure do.

Hey, you guys,

how are y'all joying Trinity's

25th annual Fall festival?

You know, I just had a request to do a song

that's never ever been heard before.

And up until just a couple of seconds ago,

it didn't even have a title.

But I think I'll call this

one, Autumn Ridge.

Looking at the future

here on Autumn Ridge

We'll find our strength

in all we'll do together

Standing hand in hand

We'll face whatever comes our way

Forever you, forever me

A brighter day

Here in the darkness

Who thought we'd ever find the light

I kept pushing forward

Knowing we were strong enough to fight

Travel in a road of twists and turns

Believing in the honesty we've learned

Looking at the future here on Autumn

Hey, Sheriff, you got a sec?

Yeah, what's up, Woody?

Hey, man, I keep hearing

all this stuff about a beast.

Do you really believe all that?

I'm not too sure about a beast,

but I do believe in Trinity.

Who would've believed it

Looking back from where we are today

Wasn't looking for it

Love came and found us anyway

Each of us were broken and alone

Never dreaming we

would ever find a whole

Looking at the future
