So that's Anna Pigeon.
In this park, I'm a cop.
I think we're pretty tough.
More resilient than tough.
Help me! Down here!
I want to know you. Uh, more than...
If I were profiling you, I'd think you were on the run.
Yesterday would have been my husband's 40th.
Take the free $400 advice I'm giving you.
Write out your nightmares, and they'll stop.
Cheers.
Zach?
Unless you don't want them to stop.
Zach?
How can I help you today, sir?
Just empty the cash quickly and quietly.
Ah!
You don't wanna do that.
That's my family.
God doesn't want anyone to die today.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Zach?
That's a good start.

♪ You better grab the best of your life ♪
Hey, Bethany.
Isn't that Manny's truck?
Oh, his exhaust manifold's all messed up.
It's gonna cost him 2,000.
So I said I'd do it for 600.
That's a good deal for him.
Yeah. I'm saving up for a horse.
♪ All you have to do is wander ♪
Oh, Anna!
I didn't get your RSVP. Are you coming?
Oh, I think those are mine.
What are they doing in my stuff?
Probably just got stuck at the bottom of the machine.
You wear these,
like, under your ranger's uniform?
Better than over.
like, under your ranger's uniform?
Nice talk, Bethany.
like, under your ranger's uniform?
Is it always the same nightmare?
Yeah, pretty much.
Different parts of the party, and then Zach on the floor.
Oh, honey.
Married eight years,
and all my subconscious cares about is one night.
Married eight years,
You know your subconscious is you, right?
Oh, so I'm the asshole?
Hey, uh, are you vaping between patients?
I can hear you.
Maybe you should journal about that.
"There is no coming to consciousness without pain."
Please don't quote Jung at me
while I'm hungover and running errands.
Just write down your damn nightmares.
Do as I say for once.
Sound advice.
Hey, who's that?
I gotta go, Molly.
Your sister?
Yeah. What are you doing here?
Oh, the robberies. - Yeah.
After the third one, they call in the Feds.
So do you know who it is?
The guy wears a mask.
He could be anyone.
So you're gonna be here for a while?
No, uh, he's only hit the tellers so far,
so I'm just gonna beef up the security in the banks,
install new protocols.
County sheriff can take it from there.
So, uh, you're having nightmares?
Yeah.
Uh, my husband. My late husband.
The night he was killed.
Oh, yeah, they, um, never found
who did it, right?
Nope. Random home invasion.
I think that's what bugs me.
I don't like random. I like answers.
Hey, well, uh, I gotta catch a plane,
but give me a call if you ever want
to talk to an untrained professional.
Professional what?
Avoidant.
Okay, I tried.
- Okay? - Back to the bank.
We've all had our struggles.
At some point or another, we've all lost our way.
Some with addiction,
some with aggression, Some with incarceration.
Some with addiction,
But that's why we're here now.
Brother Manny...
You've been with us a few weeks now.
You wanna share?
You got this, man.
Speak your truth.
I have been struggling.
I love my job,
but I'm barely making ends meet.
I just want to make my wife happy.
We want to start a family.
But at what cost, you know?
S-Sorry, I--
I promised that I wasn't gonna cry.
You got this, man.
Sometimes I feel like using again.
That's-that's how I used to cope.
That's how I used to...
...take the weight off my shoulders.
And when we can't carry the burden anymore,
we give it to Him.
And He will turn our mess
into a miracle.
You're fun.
Thank you.
They're doing the, uh, Ranger and Friends talent show again.
Yeah, I did this a few years back,
but, you know, now I have to be invited.
What's your talent?
Is it embarrassing?
Juggling?
Mmm, impressions?
Oh, God, slam poetry?
It's not embarrassing to me, but I'm--
You know, I'm not sure you'd like it.
Hmm, you don't know everything about me.
And whose fault is that?
Hmm, you don't know everything about me.
Weren't you, like, a stage manager?
You know, behind the scenes in theater?
You should help out with the talent show.
No, I don't do that anymore.
I gotta go.
Stay if you want.
You let me know if you wanna see my talent.
I'm pretty sure I just did.
Nature is always regenerating.
A cyclical process of growth, decay and renewal.
If we were given the same chance
to be reborn, clean slate...
...could we really be made new?
You made it.
Well, I heard there'd be sacramental wine, so...
Uh, this is Lorraine.
She and her husband Ken are Manny's witnesses.
They're also our couple goals.
High school sweethearts and still together.
Bethany has been such a godsend at the church.
We all love her... and Manny.
You should come sometime.
It really is for everyone,
even women who are alone at your age.
Ooh.
What was that?
Oh, uh, they're just knocking down some old trees.
The guard's there to make sure no one walks
into the blast zone.
It's okay. - Of-Of all the days
for this to happen.
Oh, Bethany, it's okay.
- I'm just gonna... yeah. - Uh-huh.
How can peace be with him if there's no peace?
Sure you don't wanna just, you know, use a chainsaw?
Ah, too dangerous when they're this rotten.
It'll dull the chain.
But a couple of blasts will do it.
All right, everybody, clear out.
- Clear out! - Nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,
three, two, one.
Whoa.
three, two, one.
Okay, let's do this.
Is this when the earth opens up and swallows us whole?
Well, at least we don't have to go to the reception.
Last one. Everybody clear out.
Timothy says, "He who cleanses himself
will be reborn into a vessel of honor."
Manny...
It's my honor to baptize you, my brother.
In the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
Buried in the likeness of his death,
Manny, my brother.
And raised to walk...
...in the newness of life.
It's a miracle.
What the hell!?
Pigeon?
Hey, Guthrie.
Looks like the toolbox was buried here.
The explosion blew it into the air,
made it rain.
It's a good place to bury money.
I think it's connected to the robberies.
It's not your jurisdiction, Ranger.
FBI gave county the go-ahead to take the lead on this.
Not the tree cops.
It's buried in the park.
Which isn't a crime, unless you count littering.
I actually do think littering is a gateway crime.
Always a pleasure.
If this gets out,
every freaking online treasure hunter
with a metal detector is gonna be digging in the park.
The suspect uses a catchphrase,
"God doesn't want anyone to die today."
That's dark.
Hey, Anna, are you busy?
- Uh, yeah. - I was supposed to take
my pastor and his group down on a hike,
and I was gonna take them to Heaven's Gate.
Naturally.
I have something important to do at the same time.
Can you take them?
I know you'd rather be out in nature
than... out ticketing.
What do you have to do that's so important?
Just life stuff.
Okay, uh, what's the group?
Just men who've been through stuff.
Some former addicts,
some who used to be incarcerated.
Okay. Uh, sure, yeah.
Church has a group for everyone.
But does everyone need a group?
That's the kind of attitude that keeps you sick.
Just saying.
That's the kind of attitude that keeps you sick.
I don't know, a talent show is kinda cringe.
That's the kind of attitude that keeps you sick.
What's your talent, Anna?
Solitaire. Can I talk to you for a sec?
You know, secrets among friends is rude.
Well, Frieda, you've never kept a secret in your life.
'Cause it's rude.
Oh, you saved that.
Yeah, kind of.
That's evidence.
Okay, well, it was just laying in plain sight.
Aren't you a little bit curious where it came from?
I don't know.
Okay, I'll put it in a bag later.
Listen, with all the bank robberies going on,
I'm kind of worried that it's gonna come into the park.
So I was wondering if maybe you could run
these serial numbers, see if anything comes up?
If they're attached to the robberies that happened?
I'd do it myself, but Guthrie hates me
and is following my every move.
Sure.
But I'm not touching. - Oh.
Empty the cash.
God doesn't want anyone to die today.
Hurry up.
Now!
I-I'm sorry, I--
We've got new protocols today and...
Oh, my God. He's wearing a mask!
I'm not sure...
Not exactly the easy hike that Manny described.
Sometimes nature makes you work for it.
This is one of our hardest to find
glaciated landscapes.
Classic U-shaped valley
and peaks along its edges.
You know, I thought it'd be bigger.
Glaciers? Like in Alaska.
Ty, what do you know about Alaska?
You've never been outside the state.
Ever heard of the internet, Motown?
Uh, the reality is the glaciers are shrinking,
but all the rocks you see have all rolled down
from the mountains.
Anyway, I-I'll give you guys a minute.
Anna, thanks for doing this.
It's good to be out in nature. - Yeah, I agree.
You could say nature's my church.
Trees don't judge. - Me neither.
And these men have faced enough of that.
But now they're all saved.
Y-You mean that little dip in the lake?
You really think that's enough to change someone?
I believe in redemption, yes.
That you can come back from something and start fresh.
Don't you? - Redemption, yeah.
But that you're selling miracles and I'm not buying.
What can I say?
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Like a bunch of money showing up in the park?
I don't know anything about that.
Well, I didn't say you did, but now that you mention it...
A few of your guys have been incarcerated, right?
So, with respect, have any of them done time
for robberies, B&E's?
We've got an aggressive grouse harassing some campers.
Uh, I'm leading a group.
Can you see if someone else can handle it?
Ranger Pigeon, with respect, these men are trying to
put their past behind them.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't stand in their way.
Can somebody deal with this grouse?
All right, fellas, let's go, come on.
I'm on my way, Frieda.
Ouch!
Yeah, that's why I do not go on grouse calls anymore.
So I went down an internet rabbit hole last night.
What does this have to do with the money in the park?
Okay, so I checked the serial numbers
like you asked, and all that money is old.
They'll stay in circulation for a long time.
Well, just check it out.
Maybe it's a coincidence. I don't know.
All right, well, just don't say it's a miracle
and we're good.
In Detroit, Michigan,
there were a series of bank robberies
with a particularly unholy technique.
The robber would present a photograph of
the teller and their family,
proving he had been stalking them.
And then he would say,
"God doesn't want anyone to die today."
A chilling line that ultimately gave him
the nickname "The Preacher."
Holy shit!
Detroit... Motown!
- What? - I think I know who that is.
- Let me see this. - Hey!
We got an anonymous tip that he was at the scene
of the last robbery. - I didn't rob any bank.
What are you even charging him with?
Okay, stay out of this, Pigeon.
Yeah, this truck barely even works.
I'm fixing it.
Okay, this is not what it looks like...
Okay, this is a mistake. You gotta believe me, okay?
Hey, you gotta believe me.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you
in the court of law. - Don't say anything.
I won't-I won't.
I believe you. I believe you, yes.
This is a mistake. I didn't do this.
I didn't rob any bank. - No, I know.
I know. - I promise you, baby.
You gotta believe me.
I know. - I promise you, baby.
Don't talk. I'll handle this.
Back away from the car, please.
Release him!
You're going to hear from someone.
Back away from the car!
There's granite bedrock under there.
We're gonna need explosives to get through it.
I copy that, Bud, but let's just wait
'til the plans are finalized, all right?
Ranger Pigeon. What a surprise!
This is my wife, Darla.
- Hey. - Hi.
What's all this?
We finally raised enough money to be able to expand the church.
We can offer more programs and really be of service
to the community. Such a blessing.
Yeah. Hey, can we talk?
Hey, Pastor, we're gonna need a few extra hands over here.
Oh, Manny's friend, right? - Hi, Ken.
Did you come to volunteer?
I can, uh, show you the ropes.
No, just give us a minute, all right?
Be right back.
Ranger.
Better be careful with all these explosives, Pastor.
What do you mean?
God doesn't want anyone to die today, right?
Get the hell away from my church.
We'll talk...
Get the hell away from my church.
I want to help.
Manny's always talking about how amazing you are.
"Anna's so smart, and Anna so brave."
And you let him get arrested! - I didn't let him get arr--
Okay, look, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
If he didn't rob that bank yesterday,
then where was he? Was he involved?
Is he being coerced? What's going on?
He's not...
He didn't mean to do anything bad.
He's a good person. Manny's a good person!
You have to tell me what he's hiding.
You can't tell anyone.
Okay...
Okay.
A metal detector?
Oh, shit...
He didn't steal the money. He found it.
I can't lose him.
Anna, h-he's the only family I re--
Really have...
Anna, h-he's the only family I re--
I would die without Manny.
It's gonna be okay. We'll figure it out, okay?
I know about the metal detecting in the park.
Manny, it's illegal.
You know that!
Geoff's gonna fire you on the spot.
Why would you do that? What were you thinking?
Someone left me a note where to look in the park.
Honestly, I couldn't even believe I found money.
I figured God just wanted me to have it.
Are you in some sort of trouble?
Is that why you need the money?
I-It's Bethany.
She's done so much for me, Anna.
She helped me get clean. She helped me become a Ranger.
All she wanted was-- was a baby.
It's not working.
So I thought this could...
pay for the IVF.
Okay, look, I'm not gonna tell Geoff
about the metal detecting,
but you have to tell me who you told
about finding the money.
'Cause someone set you up.
about finding the money.
Right...
I only told the guys o-on my men's group.
I thought it was confidential.
I never realized how awful robberies are
on the people who work at banks.
I couldn't sleep last night.
I just kept seeing that photo and picturing my family dead.
Thanks for your help.
I'll call if I have any other questions.
Yeah.
Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
Um...
I just talked to Manny. He didn't do this.
You got a bad tip.
So you're saying he was framed?
I think it's Pastor Nelson.
The Pastor Nelson?
The bank robber has the same MO
as a bank robber from 20 years ago from Detroit
called The Preacher.
The guy was never caught.
I think it's Pastor Nelson. - And what?
He planted the money on Lopez?
The money that you found in the park, right?
Those bills are from 20 years ago, right?
That's when The Preacher was operating.
How do you know that money is old?
Look, I get that Lopez is your friend,
but the serial numbers on the money found in the truck
match the current robberies.
As far as I'm concerned, we've got our guy.
Jim, what do you got?
Can I get a copy of that ASAP?
Go for Guthrie. Um, copy.
We're gonna need some back up here.
Copy that.
Are you seriously gonna let Manny rot in jail for this?
I did everything I could to help Manny,
to put him on the right path.
Yeah, you put him on the path of taking the fall for you.
Nice work.
You've got the wrong idea about me.
- Are you robbing those banks? - No.
- Then who is? - I don't know.
Bullshit! I know exactly who you are.
You call yourself a man of God.
You pretend to be saving people.
The only person you're trying to save is yourself.
You're right.
Oh, which part?
You're right.
I am The Preacher.
- Are you robbing those banks? - No.
I swear, I haven't robbed a bank in over 20 years.
Okay. But you know something.
I-I don't know who's doing it, but I was blackmailed.
I-It's true.
Someone called me a few months ago,
voice was all distorted.
Said he wanted to know everything about
how I robbed those banks, or he'd tell my secret
and ruin my life.
Who else knows?
Could it be Ty? He knows you're from Detroit.
Called you "Motown."
Ever heard of the internet, Motown?
H-He calls me that because I always say,
"Reach out, and I'll be there."
Four Tops. Great song.
Can I show you something?
A photo from my last robbery.
I got away by the skin of my teeth.
Kept driving until I ended up here in Montana.
You buried the money from that last robbery in the park.
I looked out over those mountains.
I'd never seen anything like it.
I knew a higher power brought me here.
So I buried the past, started again.
Past tends to be a shallow grave.
The teller's family.
At the time, I told myself I didn't hurt anybody.
But I knew that was wrong.
I look at this photo to remind me
of the pain I caused.
I pray for these people every day.
Tell me everything you told the blackmailer.
The only good thing about these interagency conferences.
It's the free pastries, seeing good friends.
Ah, Wilt!
Wilt, it's good to see you, man.
I just sat through a seminar called "Chain of Custody...
"or Chain of Fools."
It's funny.
We have the most interesting jobs in the world,
and they can still make it dull.
Ah, a little dull isn't so bad.
Yeah, it used to be too exciting.
Remember that homicide case you worked?
How you sent me the file? Zach Redhill?
Hmm.
Yeah, theater guy. - Mm-hmm.
Unsolved.
Yeah, I was thinking I might put some fresh eyes on it.
First you ask me about a file.
Now you want to look into it?
First you ask me about a file.
It's the wife, right?
Mm-hmm.
I remember her.
Bit messed up when I met her, obviously.
Yeah, she still kinda is.
You got a thing for her?
She just knows how to get under your skin, you know?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Man, wipe that custard grin off your face.
Sure. I'll look into it.
You find something, let me know.
Okay.
You need to tell the police what you told me.
Whoa. Don't move.
Why are you following me?
Honestly, I've been debating whether or not
I should talk to you for about, uh, three blocks.
Oh, really?
Frederick Stanton. I'm a friend of Anna's.
She's mentioned you.
Listen, I spoke with an old friend.
Wilton Fontaine. - Right.
NYPD Homicide. I remember him well.
Does my sister know you're here?
It was a spur of the moment decision.
I was in Jersey, so...
Can I ask you a few questions?
About Anna's husband's murder?
Well, that's why she's having nightmares.
- You were on the phone. - Yeah.
I can't talk about this on a street corner.
Okay, then maybe we can go somewhere and talk.
I don't know if I want to talk to you at all.
Okay, hey, look, look.
I really care about your sister.
She's tough and smart.
I can look into her case.
I just really think that some closure will help.
Maybe.
But it's not my decision or yours.
You have to ask Anna.
Okay.
Just in case.
You were in the park when the money exploded.
You're a member of the church,
and you know a lot about explosives.
It's not looking good, Bud.
I'm telling you, I'm innocent.
Someone tried to kill a pastor
and almost killed me in the meantime, so...
But it wasn't me.
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
After I got home from the church,
I saw some of my stuff was missing.
I didn't think much of it then, but now...
So you're saying your explosive went missing
after the baptism?
That's what I'm telling you.
When I was at the church,
he saw me talking to Pastor Nelson.
He must have stolen it then.
Who?
What's going on?
You said you always took a photo of the tellers' families
before you robbed them, right?
The whole family. - Yeah.
I'd stake out the bank, pick the teller I was gonna hit,
and then I'd follow them.
I knew something was off.
Lorraine. Ken's wife.
Does anything look weird to you?
- Ken isn't in the photo. - Because Ken took the picture.
Ken is our bank robber.
You're leaving? Now?
I know it's bad timing, but I got a buddy
down in Missoula,
says he can get me some construction work.
But Manny's still in jail,
and you promised to be his spiritual support.
I'm so sorry, sweetie.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Come on, hon. Let's pick up our son.
- Guthrie. - It's Anna Pigeon.
The robberies, it's Ken Thompson
and his wife Lorraine.
Lorraine? The victim in the last robbery.
There's no way she didn't recognize her own husband.
And Ken wasn't in that photo, which means he's--
You're beginning to live up to your name, Pigeon.
A menace to society.
If you interfere in this case, I will arrest you.
Are you sure Lorraine's involved?
She didn't give him the money.
No, but she tipped him off so he can get away.
If they tried to kill you,
my guess is they're gonna skip town.
Which means they're gonna need a lot more money to disappear.
So they're gonna have to hit another bank.
Lorraine's branch,
no one would expect them to go back.
And if she's involved, they can hit the vault, too.
Big money. That's what I do.
And if she's involved, they can hit the vault, too.
It's not my jurisdiction.
I could get in a lot of trouble.
I have a feeling you've never let that stop you before.
True.
I have a feeling you've never let that stop you before.
I hope we can get through to him.
There's the bank.
What if he's in there?
I can't go in. I'm gonna call Guthrie.
Woah. No-no-no! Pastor! - I can.
Shit!
Pastor! Pastor! I can't go in there.
Hurry up.
Get down.
Don't do this.
Get down on the ground now.
I'm trying to stop you from making
the same mistakes I made. I've been where you are.
I can tell you it's not worth it.
Ken, you can stop hiding.
The cops, everyone knows it's you.
You know, it always bugged me how you didn't remember me.
I used to work at the First Hancock Credit,
in Detroit, as a teller.
I used to work at the First Hancock Credit,
Seriously, Pigeon?
Ken Thompson is robbing Copper Hill Bank right now.
Before you say it, I know I can't go in there
unless someone's in imminent danger.
So get down here before someone is.
You want to punish me for what I did to you, fine.
I own that.
But what you're doing now, man,
that's not you, brother.
You know, I came to Montana looking for work.
I wanted to make an honest living.
Really, I did.
But when I walked into the church
and I saw you that day,
I knew it was a sign.
I didn't need God or-or groups.
I need money!
Lorraine!
I'm sorry for what I did to you. I truly am.
Oh, yeah?
When you called to blackmail me,
you asked me how I got away.
I'm gonna tell you now what I should have told you then.
There is no getting away.
- He's right, Ken. - Shut up, Lorraine.
Let's go.
No, I-I never should have let you convince me to do this.
I can't spend my life running.
Think of our son.
Please...
Ken!
Hey. It's all right.
It's all right now.
Stay down. Give me your hands.
I didn't go inside.
It's all yours.
All right. Come on. Suspect is in custody.
We're on our way to the station.
Here's his gun, if you want it.
Ah, my back.
Thank you very much.
Continuing with the renovations.
Guess it'll be my legacy.
Stepping down?
"The Preacher" can be the pastor.
- So what's next? - I don't know.
But I'm at peace.
You asked if I believed that someone
could come back from something.
For the record, I do.
could come back from something.
Burn that photo.
Yeah, I'm just waiting inside.
Are you doing okay?
Stanton.
There was one thing about the case.
They had a party that night,
and someone left a red coat behind.
Well, that's not unusual for a party.
I know, but the police never figured out
where it came from.
And it was a vintage coat. Irreplaceable.
Just always struck me as strange.
All right, thanks.
Is everyone having fun?
Yeah!
The best night. It's my favorite night.
All right.
Up next, we have someone that everyone loves.
Our favorite dispatch, Frieda.

It's in our nature to try to protect ourselves.
Animals remember who or what hurt them.
It's how they keep themselves safe.
But the forest rebuilds itself after the fire.
It doesn't worry if another match will be lit.
I was reborn in the wilderness.
Let it burn.
You need to slow down.
Anna.
