Previously on Happy Town...
We're having a party this weekend.
Perhaps you'd like to attend.
You're just trying to pull one over Peggy Haplin.
You just went against the wrong broad.
- I need to get into the Whipping Wall. - That could be arranged.
Why is it so important to you what I saw at the ice shack?
State Police.
- A cop? - I'll be watching you.
- Bye bye. - Dave Duncan killed my husband
with a railroad spike through his head.
I wanna know what you're gonna do about it.
There were seven cages
Put the rifle down.
The Magic Man is still out there.

Hey, Tommy.
- Not now. - Tommy.
- I'll be... - Don't wanna see.
Alright, let's not make a scene.
Okay. What is it?
I've been poking at this thing in my mind...
You know, like you do with a sore tooth with the tip of your tongue...
From all the places Dave Duncan could have hidden from the law....
Why did he run to your family's lake house?
- It's not really the time and place... - It doesn't make any sense, that's the thing.
Nothing about that day makes any sense.
The trick is Dave wasn't thinking straight.
When I found him, he was talking all kinds of crazy about...
...dead birds.
Some twisted old stump in an underground pit where the Magic Man kept his victims in giant cages.
You haven't seen any of these things? The pit, the cages?
We spent over an hour searching the woods with Dave looking for this hole underground
But we didn't find it, cause there was nothing to find.
So what do some of your men out at the Lake Spirit if there's nothing to find?
What are they looking for?
They were being thorough, but Tommy's been through 3 days of debriefing
- Nerve's a little raw here, okay? - You know what I think?
I think you knew Dave Duncan killed Johnny Friddle
and you didn't know what to do about it and while you tried to work it out...
Guilt just tore your buddy Dave up inside and he couldn't take it anymore
and then in a desperate moment
you ended up having to shoot him.
That's some story.
I got one for you now.
It's about a deputy turned sheriff who never fired his gun in the line of duty.
Never even unholstered it.
Till the day that he shot his best friend dead.
And that's a tragedy, Dan.
Worst part is, unlike your yarn, mine is true.
And I have to live with that forever.
We're done here.
Hey, Shel, it's me.
Hey, root bear. Anything?
Nah. No.
Giant earthen pits here.
If the Magic Man is hiding his victims up at Lake Spirit,
You'll find them. It's just gonna take some time.
He can be long gone by now.
If they were ever here in the first place.
It sounds to me like Big Dave didn't have all his marbles in the end.
Anyway, I'm moving the...uh...
Moving the team in to the next quadrant. I'll let you know if anything comes of it.
Okay, well you better hurry.
- Funeral's starting soon. - I'm.. I'm not going.
You're not? But he was your friend.
Big Dave was a murderer.
I don't...
I don't feel comfortable honoring a murderer.
Alright.
Oh, dear.
A dodgy button, that won't do. Not for my first visit to Whipping Wall.
Oh, let me.
Thank you.
Here. Consider it a repayment for helping me crash Peggy Haplin's party tonight.
I took the weeping wall tour yesterday.
Oh?
What kind of docent give complete strangers a tour of their home?
Someone with excellent security.
The entire east wing is off limits.
Cameras, guards, I'm sure there's a snake pit or two back there.
That's where we'll find the hammer.
Well I'm sure I can get you through the front door alright
and keep Peggy Haplin properly distracted.
- But the east wing... - Mm...
That'll require some doing.
Peggy Haplin is going down.
We missed Carol at yesterday's daughters of the American revolution meeting.
Well she wasn't feeling well, so...
It's important that all the Haplins be present tonight.
The event is already teetering on the edge.
Certain DAR members think gathering in Haplin is unsafe.
I arranged extra security
and I think that seems to have quieted the naysayers for now.
I do hope Carol will be feeling better by then.
Unless you can invent a time machine which would prevent her from eating the
tuna tartare at Ritas, then she wont be there.
So what do you care if she's going to be attending or not?
She is the D.A.R. Secretary John,
and she hasn't been at church in weeks.
These things do not go unnoticed.
Am I not allowed to worry about my daughter-in-law?
Your concern is about as genuine as those
plastic plants you are so obsessed with.
So if you'll excuse me, I think I'll just go back to tending to my sick wife.
Of course, a sick wife. Nothing concerns me more.
Carol will be missed tonight.
You OK? You look pale.
Yeah. I'm fine. So where is everybody?
I think a lot of people had mixed feelings about big Dave in the end.
Thank you all for coming.
Duncan's family hope you all share in the comfort of knowing
their beloved David is back home.
I'd like to read a passage of scripture to you.
And on that day, they would sing this song.
The time is coming in the land of Judah...
A strong city have we.
He sets up walls and ramparts to protect us.
Trust in the lord forever.
The lord is the eternal rock.
I gotta ... I need to take a walk.
- Are you OK? - Yeah. I just need to take a walk.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven ...
Hey Ma.
Its all changin, Ma
Youve only been gone five years, but its all changin.
I tried to hold on to the Haplin that you knew and loved, but
its slipping away.
I keep looking for someone to blame, but...
all I can see is Daves big goofy smile.
He did this.
Big Dave spilled the blood,
and brought the darkness back.
Tommy.
I just wanted to
thank you for finding Jerrys killer.
You really shouldn't be thanking me.
I always knew youll be the one to find him, Tommy.
You and I are kindred spirits.
We both have someone we love just snatched from us in unnatural way.
I lost Jerry and...
well, you lost your mom.
My mother died from the stroke.
Yeah. So they say.
Wha..what does that mean?
Its nothing. Its just...
Im so sorry that bothered you.
Thank you, Tommy.
Ill always be grateful.
The doc says youre doing all good, pop.
A millimeter here, a fraction there,
they all seem to think it's gonna add up to something.
Im not so sure.
Hey, hows Big Daves funeral?
I dont know. Not a lot of people showed up.
I did running to Donna Friddle though.
Hows she holding up?
- She said something about mom. - Whats that?
She insinuated that maybe
Ma died from...
something other that the stroke, something unnatural.
Tommy.
When your mom died, at first...
I was convinced it was murder.
Murder?
Why am I hearing about this now?
Cause I was trying to protect you for one.
Look.
It was my way of dealing with Alice's death.
I needed someone to blame.
There wasn't anybody.
The autopsy report was conclusive.
She had a stroke and fell down the stairs.
It was a freak accident.
I had to accept that, son.
And you should too.
This town has enough mysteries.
I haven't seen him all day.
I ain't seen Greggy this bad since Lauryn Ward disappeared.
Yeah, well, Lauryn ward never strung him up in a barn and pummeled him with a mallet
like the little pint of piss Henley did.
Girls are nothin' but trouble.
And don't you ever forget that, baby boy.
Well, boys, what do you think?
Nice car, where'd you steal it?
Nah, I didn't steal it. I bought it.
With what?
Do right by Peggy Haplin and Peggy Haplin does right by you.
I think Peggy Haplin's a witch.
Sometimes in my dream, she chases me around the yard.
Well, how about come and take a ride on the broomstick she bought us, eh, baby boy?
- Yes, yes, yes, yes. - Come on. Come on.
Shotgun.
Shotgun, Womper! Oh!
You suck!
- Strumpet. - Harlot.
Hussy.
Ladies, please.
- Your language. - Oh, dot.
We're just having a gab. No harm in that.
I think it's unfair for Peggy Haplin to shoulder all the blame.
After all, it takes two to build a chase.
Perhaps we should be directing our venom to Mr. Grieves as well.
- I say scoundrel. - No. No. No.
Our Mr. Grieves is too much a gentleman
to deflect a full frontal assault from Peggy Haplin.
That's all.
- Well, he's just being polite. - You know what I think?
I think you ladies should step up your game.
Show him what a real full frontal assault looks like.
Ooh! I like that.
Well, I, for one, am through
pining after Merritt Grieves.
Peggy Haplin can have him, for all I care.
He's just a foppish dandy.
Well, I'll bet the accent isn't even real.
- Oh, here he comes now. - Rose, you just ...
Ahh.
Ohh. Mmm.
Ladies.
- Oh, my god. - Dreamy.
I love him like the flowers love the rain.
Hey.
So, huh...
Do you know Dan Farmer?
- He's with a state police. - No.
Georgia, is everything okay?
Time to eat.
Thank god, I'm starving.
Well, hello. So glad you could join us.
Well, thank you for inviting me
and what a beautiful house!
You're seeing weeping wall at its finest.
It's usually not so grand as it is tonight.
I feel like something of an interloper
as the only Brit at a...
Daughters of the American revolution event.
I'll protect you.
So long as you stay close. Mm.
Let me introduce you to some friends of mine.
That would be lovely.
- Mr. Merrit Grieves. - Merrit Grieves.
Come on.
Birds. Dead birds.
Come on. Where is it?
Dead...birds.
Dorothy Meadows.
You found the dead birds, didn't you?
What did you see, Dorothy?
What did you see?
Andrew, look after you mother tonight. I'll cover at weeping wall.
- Maybe I should go instead. - No, no, no.
It's fine. I'll handle your grandmother.
Besides, you're better with your mom when she's like this.
Screw grandma and her stupid party.
- You should be here. - I need to find Addie.
What?
I'm worried I'm never gonna see her again.
I need to see her face, John.
I know.
What is that?
They're what he sent
after he took her.
Ma, you kept them?
What would you have me do with them?
The police are doing everything they can to find Addie.
I want you to call Dr. Moss. Have him refill your mother's prescriptions.
You just need to rest a little bit.
And I'll be back later on, okay?
Dad.
I'm sorry you're not on the list.
The name is Smith.
Can't you spell?
S-m-i-t-h. Smith.
Josephine. There you are.
You are late.
I told you not to be late.
Well, you told me you'd get me a pony when I was 6,
and you're little late on that promise. You don't see me bitching, do you?
I only apologize for my daughter's rude behavior.
Come with me.
Wasnt so bad, was it?
That was an easy part.
Good luck, Miss Boone. Oh.
- You clean up quite well. - Thank you. See you soon.
Georgia, we need to talk.
Dont ask me, my boy. How should I know?...
Georgia...
Hey... Whats gotten into you?
I think the house might be bugged.
Why would my house be bugged?
Dan Farmer was the one that drugged me.
Dan Farmer? State polices Dan Farmer?
He kidnapped me and Andrew too,
he lives out in the woods up by Saddleback Cliffs, in some creepy trailer.
And he drove me and Andrew miles out of town,
tied us up and interrogated us.
He admitted to drugging me that night at the hospital
and to drugging Carl. Does that sound like normal police behavior to you?
I am telling you the truth.
Dan Farmer is not who you think he is.
Then who is he?
Hes the Magic Man.
Hey, Tom.
That Dan Farmers personnel jacket?
Yeah, I reached out to a friend of Griff's in St. Paul.
Tommy, thats a confidential file. What are you doing?
Its like Farmer didnt exist before 2000;
when he transferred to State to work the magic man case.
- Well, he had to come from somewhere. - He did. Bismarck.
But every partner of supervisor I tried to contact
has either moved or died.
I couldnt find one person who actually knew the guy.
Is that from hospital security?
Yeah. Yeah.
So what is it exactly were looking for?
I dont know, but well know it when we see it.
- Is that Georgia? - Yeah.
And thats Dan. He looks... crazed.
I mean, this was filmed before he came to Haplin to help out with the Friddle case.
Well, clearly, he arrived in Haplin, before he arrived in Haplin.
All right, Im gonna go talk to Dan.
Count to 30. Come find me.
Hand this to me and say, this just came in.
If Im right, Danll head out.
Then take an unmarked car and follow him. I want to see where Dan goes.
Hey, Dan.
Listen, Im... Im sorry about this morning.
Uh, things got a little hot.
I.. I know youre just doing your job.
Not a problem, Sheriff.
Im pretty sure you were just doing yours, too
This just came in.
- Great. - What do you got?
Uh, its a report about an abandoned trailer out by Saddleback Cliffs.
You want to take a ride and check it out?
Hmm. Ill pass. Ive got a few things to take care of.
- Night. - Night.
[Definitely. Then when Inke knocks the door.]
[Nothing is here as it should be.]
[We can't leave her there.]
[Out and not protected.]
[***]
[Please, understand it.]
[What do you suggest?]
[We need to protect ourselves from him.]
[There is nothing we can do.]
[He exists only in the darkness.]
[***]
[And he rests in the shadows.]
[Is that good to know?]
[His power is eternal]
[Childlike.]
[Which one?]
[A black smooth rises on pressure.]
[Examine a black raven.]
Alright, that's enough.
[Bora, bora, that tickles.]
- Come on. Come on. - Henley Boone.
Welcome to Weeping Wall.
[This is the death sound.]
[What about Schmidt? Can he try it?]
If you wanted to see the inside of Weeping Wall, you had only to ask.
We give docent tours every other Thursday.
Yes. Yes. I took the tour. It left me...
unfulfilled.
I like to discover things for myself.
For instance, I found out that Greggy Stiviletto works for you.
And Im quite sure you arranged for his early release from prison.
I bet youre also wondering whether I arranged for him to seduce you.
Im sure that is the subject of much turmoil in that pretty little head of yours.
The questioning...
"Was it all just a sham?
"Every kiss, every caress?"
I thought he liked me. I did. I did. I did.
My only question is, do the good people of this town
know that their Grand Dame is such a demented old spider?
Didnt you mother tell you its rude to disrespect your elders?
Oh, my mother told me a lot of things.
By the way, Susan says hello.
She knows youve been looking for her,
and thats why you will never, ever find her.
Take her to the guest house so we can continue our conversation later.
Im sorry dear. I have guests,
and they need their demented old spider.
Where are you?
Hes pulled into the quickie serv on Route 8,
going towards Saddleback Cliffs.
Hes heading to his trailer.
What do you want me to do when he gets there?
Just one step at a time. Stay on his tail. Lets see where he takes us.
You got it.
I lost him.
What happened?
He pulled in to the quickie serv, then just...
he just disappeared.
I mean, his trucks still here, barely, but
no sign of Dan. He must have seen me.
Looks like you were right about him.
Now he knows were looking for him.
Dad.
- What are you doing here? - Um, its Mom. Shes gone.
- What do you mean shes gone? - The phone rang,
and I went to go answer it, and Mom was in the kitchen,
and when I got back, she was gone and so was her car.
Andrew.
I thought you werent going to be able to come tonight.
John said you werent feeling well.
Actually, its my mom whos not feeling all that well.
Its all this renewed talk of disappearances.
Im sure its bringing up all kinds of old ghosts.
Mom, please,
have the decency not to refer to my daughter as an old ghost.
Youre not fooling anyone, John.
I know Carol is sick with more than just a tummy ache.
If you lack the salt to get her the institutionalized help
she shouldve gotten years ago, I will be more than happy to intervene
- for the sake of the family. - For the sake of the family.
Im so sick of hearing you talk about the family. It' is not a family, Mother.
This is kabuki with caviar. You dont care about us.
I mean, for you to care about us
would mean that you would have to have the capacity to actually feel something.
Oh look. Heres Sid and Lee Manning.
There she goes. There she goes... Of course, all smiles.
And she thinks its your mother whos in need of mental help. Come on, lets go.
Okay. All right. Listen up, everyone.
Were looking for Dan Farmer.
I want all available deputies out on Route 8.
Get there, set up a command post.
I want a 5-mile perimeter around the quickie serv.
With the exception of law enforcement,
emergency, nobody gets in or out without passing through a checkpoint, you understand?
Come on, people. You hear the man, lets go.
Ive been trying to get Captain Frost up at state on the phone. No luck.
Keep trying, and put out an APB on Dan Farmer.
- Get his picture out on the wire. - You got it, Tommy.
Take this file.
Youre hiding from your guests?
My artificial plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
Im sorry. Ive been a terrible host.
Oh, its been a...
- very enlightening evening. - How so?
So often the things that we do for others go unnoticed,
and yet we still do them.
Why?
Not for the recognition, but because
that is who we are.
And I think tonight I have seen a little of the kind of person
that you are.
- No. - No?
I havent kissed a man quite a long time.
Trust me, it will be just how you remember it,
only better.
- Good to have you back, Bud. - Good to be back, Womp.
Watch out, watch out, watch out! Watch out!
What the hell are you doing?
Everybody out of the truck.
Good.
You're a dead man, you know that? Do you have any idea who I am?
Sure I do.
You're the guy that French-kisses the asphalt.
What?
See?
Who are you, you crazy bastard, huh?
They call me gazpacho
cause I like my soup cold.
The grounds are beautiful.
Of all the places I've been held prisoner, this is by far the nicest.
By the hair? Really now? Ow.
- Dont sass me, little one. - Ow.
Oh, dear. I seem to have lost another button.
I believe I lost it
entertaining the old Mrs. Haplin.
Spare me the details.
- Did you get it? - Oh, yes.
You were right all along.
I play decoy, you play the thief.
This isnt exactly my first time around the mulberry bush, Ms. Boone, no.
Oh! What did you do to them?
Not my first time at all.
I must tell you,
Im not usually in the habit of showing the place
- this late at night. - I appreciate it more than you know.
The motel had no vacancies,
and I really didnt want to drive all the way to Crescent View.
I have eight borders at this time, including myself.
And the only rule of the TV room is
- the first to arrive gets to drive. - Yeah, good.
I like to drive.
Come along, Dorothy.
Quit on me now, I promise you Ill leave you out here.
Please. Ive told you everything I know.
I believe you, Dorothy, especially now I see that stump over there.
Come on.
Bet you never thought youd be back here after you filed that police report.
Who files a police report on dead birds anyway?
It was a mix of... of crows, sparrows,
swallows, finches, robin red breasts, grouse, even a gull.
Strange to see such a variety of birds in one place,
let alone all of em dead!
People think Im a freak.
Come on!
Well...what do we have here? Come on!
All right, come here. Come here.
Ladies first.
Youre him, arent you?
If by him you mean the man with the plan, then yes, I am.
Now get down there, bird-watcher, before I throw you down.
I will keep you updated.
Yeah, I... I hear you.
Thanks for the call, Captain Frost. All right.
Ohh. St. Pauls none too pleased weve launched a manhunt for one of their own.
This flyers getting distributed over the tri-county area.
Were getting tips as far as Duluth.
Great. Were gonna need all the help we can get.
- Daddy! - Hey, Emma C. What are you guys doing here?
Is it true about Dan Farmer?
Hey, Emma, want a little sody pop?
- Yes, please. - All right, come on, lets go.
Its... its just too early to say anything...
No, I... Im not interested in talking to Sheriff Conroy.
Tommy, is Dan Farmer the Magic Man?
I honestly dont know.
I want to look him in the eyes.
I want to see the face that no matter how hard I try I cant remember.
Quiet.
Hello, Cicero.
Been a while.
Theres dried blood down here, Dorothy.
Please. Help me please!
Help me, please.
Get me out of here. Get me out of here. Please.
What the hells going on?
- Hes the magic-- - What the hells going...
Youre the guy the cops are looking for.
All right, just take a deep breath.
Everybody just needs to calm down.
What happened?
I just shot the magic man.
We caught him in his underground pit.
- Did you say underground pit? - Yeah, with cages and bones.
Guys, get him off his feet.
I am not the Magic Man.
Im the cop thats gonna bring him in.
And if... if you were any sort of cop, youd know that.
Shell, lets get an ambulance in here now.
I was so close... So close...
Good as new.
Whats wrong?
I just had some terrible news.
A friend of mine from Manchester has had some kind of an accident.
Oh, Im sorry.
- So is he gonna all right? - I dont know.
Was he a close friend?
Actually, Xavier was a protégé of mine
until we became
rivals for the same woman...
my wife, Kendall.
When she became pregnant,
she chose me.
It was never really clear whether Xavier or I were Simons father.
It didnt matter to me. I had a...
wife and a child, both of whom I cherished.
When Simon was kidnapped...
Xavier and I put aside our differences and
vowed to find him. And ever since then, weve worked from separate ends
towards the same goal of
reclaiming our boy.
Tell me, is...
is there anything I can do or...
No, thank you, Henley. I appreciate the offer,
but this is something I must do on my own.
And Im sorry I wont be there to see
Peggy Haplin get her just deserts, but, uh,
the game seems to have changed for me for the time being.
Hello.
Oh. Yeah.
I hope your friend recovers.
Yes?
Are you sure it was Merritt Grieves that helped her escape?
What did I say to the girl about Greggy?
And I bet youre wondering if I arranged for him to seduce you.
Im sure that is the subject of much turmoil in that pretty little head of yours.
The questioning...
Was it all just a sham? Every kiss, every caress?
I thought he liked me. I did. I did. I did.
Do you remember when Addie gave this to me?
It was grandparents day.
When she looked at me, I really felt like the worlds best grandma.
If Addie were here now, do you think shed look at me the same way?
I dont think she would.
I think shed know that Id changed,
that everything had changed.
So... what did you have in mind?
I want to change everything.
This is the last time I want to look at this face.
I want to be blonde...
with a little curl to my hair.
And I want porcelain skin
I want to be unrecognizable.
Can you do that?
Excuse me. Do you know where I can find Tommy Conroy?
Yeah. Thats him right over there.
- ... begin questioning. - Ronnie, line two.
- Excuse me. Are you Tommy Conroy? - Yeah.
- Your mother was Alice Conroy?
Yeah. Whats this about? We got a lot going on here today.
What is that?
This is the hammer that Peggy Haplin used to kill your mother.
