(pensive music)
(Claire laughing) (pensive music continues)
- Come on, Bug.
Let's go find some treasure.
You're so good at finding things, little Bug.
Come on.
(birds chirping) (pensive music continues)
Come on, Bug.
Oh, he's so cute. I love him. (laughs)
Let's go. Come on.
Come on.
(pensive music continues)
(laughs) Come on, little Bug.
(Blue barking)
(Blue whimpering) (pensive music continues)
(Blue sniffing)
- This is my mom.
(Blue whimpering)
You would've loved her.
She would've loved you.
It's her birthday today.
(Blue whimpering) (gentle music continues)
Today's gonna be hard.
(birds chirping) (gentle music continues)
(water sloshing)
- Hey everyone, Chelsea here.
I'm still in Crystal Ridge National Park
visiting Piper's Peak.
I came out here because some of you have commented,
asking me how to deal with being nervous
traveling to a new place.
And being in a new place can be scary,
but anything scary can be exciting, right?
And traveling is all about being introduced to new things.
I know you wanna see this beautiful face,
but you have got to see this vista.
Isn't it incredible?
(dramatic music) (Chelsea screaming)
(body thudding) (Chelsea gasping)
(gentle music)
(birds chirping) (water sloshing)
(gravel crunching) (engine humming)
- Come on, buddy. (Blue barks)
(Jodi laughs)
(Blue panting)
Welcome to the team, Blue.
(latch clicking)
- Hey. - Hey.
- Have a new member-
- (laughs) Yeah. - on the team.
(Blue barking) (rangers laughing)
- [Liza] Hey, Blue.
- Aw. - Congrats.
- Thank you. - To you both.
- [Liza] Oh, you're such a good boy.
- Yeah, buddy. - You did such a good job.
- [Ranger] Good job, Blue.
- Okay. - So proud of you, boy.
- [Liza] Let's get back to work now.
- [Nora] Okay, back to work.
- All right, let's go. - One of the team now.
- [Jodi] I know. (laughs)
- Okay, tonight you, me, Blue,
we'll do something very fun to celebrate.
Plus, I really need it, you know.
Sometimes I, I feel the small town walls closing in.
- Uh, any other night, I'd say yes.
- I'm not doing anything. - Pass.
(Jodi laughs)
- Tonight's sort of special. (pensive music)
- Special, okay, who is it?
- Oh, it's not that kind of special.
It's my mom's birthday, and we have this tradition.
My dad always tries to make a carrot cake,
and it's the first year without her.
- Sorry, Jodes. - It's okay.
Yeah, a night out with you would probably do me
a world of good.
- Well, I'm around, always around.
(Jodi laughs)
(phone ringing)
- NPS, this is Officer Meeks.
Okay, can you tell me what time that was at?
- Officer Jodi Larsen.
(phone ringing)
- NPS, Police Officer Esposito.
- NPS, Tyson Bernard. (pensive music)
- Okay, we have a potential injury.
A woman was seen falling in the park.
- Yeah, I just got the same call, happened at Piper's Peak.
- Some influencer, her followers watched it all
on live stream. (phones ringing)
- Let's check it out.
(phones ringing)
- Chelsea Vallon, 25, up-and-coming travel
and lifestyle influencer.
She was last seen here live streaming when she fell.
According to her followers,
no one has seen or heard from her since,
and she's the type of person who stays online.
- Okay, I'll work the ridge.
- Copy that, Meeks and I will check below.
Come on, buddy.
(pensive music continues)
- Between Whispering Pines and Stone Glass Lake,
the rabbit hole's a little deeper than I thought.
I'm looking into a possible witness in the Stone Glass case.
- Walk me through it.
- A diver was on Stone Glass Lake,
and he was hit by jet ski and killed.
- Accident? - No one was charged.
They couldn't find the owner of the jet ski
or who was driving it.
- So you think that this case is connected
to what happened to Claire?
- Not sure.
Claire did have newspaper clippings on the incident
at Stone Glass, and there was a 911 call.
That's the witness I was talking about.
I'm checking into that.
- Okay, I'm about to meet up
with Ross from the Sheriff's Department again,
see what else I can dig up.
- Keep me in the loop. I'll do the same.
- Yeah, will do.
- I'm looking down the river for any signs of Chelsea.
Nothing's jumping out at me from up here.
Everything looks clean.
- Nothing to immediately report up here, guys.
Hang on.
What are you? (camera clicks)
Scratch that.
I found one of those reflective boards
that social media people use.
It could mean that someone else was up here.
- [Tyson] How's it looking at the riverbank?
- There's no sign of her.
Anything?
- Well, not unless she learned how to fly on the way down.
- Well, if she did, her phone certainly didn't.
(brooding music)
It's a start.
(Blue barking) (pensive music continues)
(whisk clanking)
- I was never very good at this.
Every year, you asked me to bake your favorite cake.
Tell you what.
It was worth the work to watch you take that first bite
and pretend it wasn't terrible
(peeler rasping)
and smile and say,
"Best one yet."
(hand knocking) - Hey, who's that?
- That's Kyle Moore, Chelsea's boyfriend.
Their trailer is in Camp 11.
Been spending quite a bit of time talking to viewers
of Chelsea's live stream.
Lo and behold, was finally able to talk
to one who happened to screen-record it.
- Fantastic, you have it?
- Yep, it should be here right now.
Dang, that would've been cool, though.
But, no, it should be coming any second.
They're just emailing it
now. (fingers snapping)
Dang.
- In the meantime, do you think we can pull
anything off this phone?
I checked. It's registered in her name.
It's definitely Chelsea's.
- 'Kay, well, it's in pretty bad shape,
but I'll see what kind of magic I can do.
- If anyone can pull off this kinda magic,
it's you. (fingers snapping)
(computer beeping)
- Okay, you're just gonna steal my trick.
- 'Kay, what do we got?
(trafic humming)
(gentle music)
♪ Run a little farther (register beeping)
♪ Than you need to go
♪ Try a little harder
- Now a good time?
- I got a minute.
- [Ryan] Can you just take over for one second? Thank you.
- I have a couple questions about the Whispering Pines case.
- Claire Larsen's fall, right? I didn't work it.
- I know, but you read the file before you gave it to me.
- Course, I'm a cop, so what do you wanna know?
- We're here at Crystal Ridge National Park.
For those of you following,
you know I have been talking about coming up here for weeks.
It's the perfect romantic getaway with your boo.
There are crazy adventures to experience
and more hiking trails than I can count,
and next stop, Piper's Peak, but first-
- Can we fast forward to see if anything actually happened?
(pensive music)
(body thudding) (Chelsea screaming)
(Chelsea gasping) (body continues thudding)
Wow, she really did fall.
- Did you think she didn't?
- Can you take it back a few frames?
- Yeah. (mouse clicking)
(pensive music continues)
- Who is that?
- [Tyson] Boyfriend maybe.
- So if he saw Chelsea fall, then why didn't he call it in?
- Or he ate it as well.
Either way, we now have two missing people
or one person of interest.
- [Jodi] I'll go check out their trailer.
(pensive music continues)
(gentle music)
- It doesn't make sense.
If the incident happened on park land,
that's NPS's jurisdiction.
So why did county take it over so quickly?
- Sheriff Al was insistent that we take it on.
- Why?
- Mm, Sheriff wanted to take on the case
for Bill and his wife.
It was personal.
The sheriff and Bill Larsen have known each other for years.
He thought it was the least he could do.
You know, it's tough when cops show up
and deliver news like this.
Maybe it's a little easier having it come from a friend.
(gentle music continues)
I gotta go.
You have my number if anything else comes to mind.
- Thanks.
(gentle music continues)
(brooding music)
(pensive music)
(Blue barking) (pensive music continues)
- Just arrived at Kyle and Chelsea's camper van,
- Loud and clear, anyone around?
- We're about to find out.
(hand knocking)
This is Detective Larsen with NPS. Is anybody here?
(Blue sniffing)
(hand knocking)
This is Detective Larsen. Is anybody in here?
(handle clicking)
(door squeaking) (suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
I'm checking out inside. No one's here.
(suspenseful music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(notification chiming)
(Bill sighs)
- Well, here we go.
Let's see what Stacey Kanter called into the police.
Emergency response call log,
incident number, blah, blah, blah, blah, here we go.
(pensive music continues)
- [Stacey] I just saw a guy get hit by a jet ski.
Stone Glass Lake, I, I saw three teens.
They were on their jet skis, and they just, oh, my God,
I think the guy's dead.
(pensive music continues)
(Bill sighs)
(phone beeping)
(phone ringing)
- Hey. (laughs)
Uh, you know, hanging in there.
Listen, you around at all for a chat?
Fishing. Huh.
I guess even sheriffs need a day off now and then.
Got an extra pole?
(phone ringing)
- Meeks.
- What do you got?
- I've been reviewing gate footage.
Kyle was last seen leaving the park at 8:37 AM,
meaning he left shortly after the incident occurred.
- Where is he now? - That, I don't know.
Tracking CCTV footage but lost his car.
We have officers alerted and searching for him in town.
(phone clanking)
- There's an incident reported at the diner in Mimi's Motel,
a small dispute ending in a drink being thrown on someone.
You'll never guess who the victim of the assault is.
Kyle Moore.
- Benefit of living in a small town, right?
- Tell Jodi to head to the inn. Meet her there.
- Copy.
(water sloshing) (pensive music continues)
- [Bill] Catch anything, Sheriff?
- Whole lot of nothing.
Maybe my luck'll change now that you're here.
- Good to see ya. - Good to see you, too.
Got drinks and sandwiches in the cooler, so help yourself.
- Uh, thanks, won't be staying long.
Just wanna run a few case-related things by you.
- Oh, well, you know I got a rule, right?
There's no work while I'm fishing.
- Make an exception for an old friend?
- Maybe.
(gentle music)
(fishing rod whirring)
- It's his truck.
- Kyle Moore?
I'm Detective Larsen, NPS. This is Detective Meeks.
- Yeah, I was told somebody was coming to talk to me.
- You were also told to stay put.
You should only make somebody wait so long.
- We'd like to ask you a few questions.
- Here's the deal with the drink situation.
That girl needs to be arrested or something.
She literally threw an entire drink in my face.
- Mr. Moore, we'd actually like to talk
to you about Chelsea's live stream this morning.
It seems odd to us that we've been receiving calls all day
from worried Chelsea fans following the fall
but not a single call from you.
- Honestly, (laughs) I'm shocked you guys couldn't tell.
The whole live stream thing was fake.
- What do you mean fake? - (sighs) That's what it takes
to create a moment online these days.
You gotta be willing to go to drastic lengths
to keep people's eyes on the screen,
keep their thumbs from scrolling.
Good to know it looked real, though.
- It read very real.
That's why we have NPS police on it.
- I mean, from an optics standpoint, that is pretty cool.
- If the whole thing was fake, Kyle,
then where is Chelsea now?
- I don't know where she is.
She was supposed to be back by now.
- [Meeks] Back where?
- [Kyle] Our trailer.
- I went to your trailer. Chelsea wasn't there.
- What are you trying to say?
- Saying that your fake missing girlfriend appears
to be actually missing.
We're gonna need you to come down to headquarters
till we can sort this out.
(pensive music continues)
(water sloshing) (fishing rod whirring)
- I got a call from Stacey Kanter.
- What did Stacey Kanter want with a lawyer?
- [Bill] Said she wanted to talk.
- You haven't spoken to her yet?
- No, not yet.
I know that she was a witness in the Stone Glass case,
and I know how much an unsolved crime could be
a thorn in your side.
Between you and me, I think Stacey is the key
to a lot of what's missing.
- Ah, so that's why you requested access
to the emergency response call logs.
- That got back to you quick.
- Who do you think approved the request?
Look, Bill, I'm here to help,
so use me as a resource, but fair warning.
Stacey Kanter is only in it for herself.
She will lie through her teeth to the highest bidder.
We've had problems with her in the past.
- Look, I'm sorry for the stunt, okay?
Honestly, we didn't think the cops were gonna get involved.
Look, I know it was dumb, but I'm worried about her.
- I hear you, and we're doing everything we can,
to help, and you can, too.
- [Kyle] How?
- [Jodi] You can start by filing a missing-person report.
- Okay, I'll do anything.
(paper rustling) (pensive music continues)
- There was a box in your van.
It was for a tent, but it was empty.
Does that ring any bells?
- Sure, we're gonna take one
with us in case we actually wanted to try camping one night,
but we left it at home.
We just ended up bringing an empty bag with us.
Chelsea's kind of scatterbrained like that sometimes.
- Do you have any idea where she could've gone
if not the camper van?
Yeah.
(door clattering and squeaking)
- Have you even looked into Chelsea's stalker yet?
- Who's her stalker?
- That crazy girl who threw a drink on me,
Lana Lester.
- Okay, let's talk about Lana Lester.
- (sighs) I don't really know what there is to say.
She's been stalking Chelsea for a while now.
She shows up to places where, all the time.
It's creepy.
- Why'd she throw a drink in your face?
- (sighs) She saw the live stream, I guess.
Probably got it in her sick head that I pushed Chelsea.
- Did she have reason to believe you killed Chelsea,
other than the video of Chelsea appearing to fall?
- A reason? She's nuts.
I don't know. Go ask her.
(pensive music continues)
(laid-back country music)
- Hey, Ryan. - Hey.
- Have either of these two come into the Rock 'n' Roast
in the last 24 hours?
- Not that I can recall. What's going on with them?
- These two may have faked a fall for social media.
The only problem is now she is nowhere to be found.
- Man, the things people do for attention.
- Tell me about it. - Well, I just got the call,
so I'm just gonna clean up here,
and then I'll join the search.
- Great.
(laid-back music continues)
Hey, um, I don't suppose you wanna hang tonight.
I asked Jodi, but she's got a thing,
and, you know, my next choice would be Blue,
but he's hanging out with Jodi.
- Yeah, sure, I'm honored to be your third choice.
(Ryan and Nora laughing)
Uh, the Cliff's Edge has karaoke tonight.
What about that? - That's perfect.
- Great, (laughs) okay.
- See you then. - See ya.
(pensive music)
- I was able to find a bunch of stuff on Lana Lester.
Lana has several social media accounts.
Looks like Lana's trying to be
a influencer herself. - Hey, buddy.
- Problem is not many followers on any of her accounts.
"Lana Learns," "Lana Lives," Lana Leads," you get it.
- Any idea of her current whereabouts?
- CCTV footage has her entering the park.
She drove to Paper Birch Trail as of a few minutes ago.
Should be there a while. You guys can catch her there.
- You wanna come on a hike?
Come on, buddy.
(Blue panting) Come on.
(Bill sighs)
(glove compartment clattering)
(paper rustling)
(pensive music continues)
(Bill sighs)
(pensive music continues)
Come on, buddy.
- Looks like we're in the right place,
"Lana Learns," "Lana Lives."
(hand knocking) (birds chirping)
(door clattering)
- Who are you? - I'm Bill Larsen.
I was hoping I could ask you a few questions.
- You a cop or something?
- No, no, nothing like that.
A lawyer, actually.
- Oh, only thing I hate more than cops are lawyers.
(door slamming) (pensive music continues)
(knocking)
- Please, Ms. Kanter.
I'm not trying to get anybody in trouble.
It's about Stone Glass Lake.
(door clattering)
- You representing the case or something?
- Not really.
You can call me a concerned third party.
- Lana Lester?
- Yes. (Blue panting)
- I'm Detective Larsen with the NPS Police.
This is Detective Meeks. Blue, sit.
Is it okay if we ask you a few questions?
- Sorry, dogs make me nervous.
- Oh, he's really friendly.
- Unless he thinks you're lying.
(Blue whimpers) (pensive music continues)
- You have nothing to be nervous about.
- (sighs) Is this about the whole thing with Kyle?
We'd like to ask you about that,
but no, this is about Chelsea Vallon.
- You don't think I had anything to do with it, do you?
- We have no reason to believe you've done anything wrong.
- Except throwing your drink on Mr. Moore,
which was funny but wrong.
- He had that coming.
- Why did you come to town?
- I just, I've always wanted to come here.
- So not because Chelsea Vallon is here?
- (sighs) Okay, yes, I knew Chelsea was coming to the park,
and also I've always wanted to come here.
The timing was perfect. Both things can be true.
- You said that Kyle deserved what you did to him.
Why?
- Because he's a murderer.
- Lana, we've spoken with Kyle.
We can't get into the details,
but this is not a murder case.
- Have you not seen the video?
- When was the last time you saw Chelsea in person?
- I haven't actually seen her in person in a while.
I'm not really allowed near her, so.
(birds chirping) (pensive music continues)
(birds continue chirping) (pensive music continues)
- I wondered if anyone would ever be smart enough
to ask me about it.
- You're a witness to the incident at Stone Glass Lake,
where a diver named Adam Bronson was killed.
You even signed a witness report that was withdrawn.
Your call to emergency response services stated
that you saw three teens driving a jet ski
and that one of them ran over Adam.
- Is there a question coming?
- Why did you withdraw your statement?
- It happened so long ago I don't remember why.
I just did.
- So you didn't see anything?
- Can't remember.
- Can't or won't?
(Stacey sighs)
- I stay awake at night thinking about how things would be
better if I hadn't gone to the lake that day.
- Do you know who killed Adam Bronson that day or not?
- I don't know.
What I do know is you're doing a pretty dumb thing
asking questions about something so dangerous.
- Dangerous?
How?
Wait.
Let me be honest with you.
- (laughs) You're a lawyer.
I don't think you know how.
- There's something about this case
that might be connected to my wife's death.
So please, do you know which officer was working the case?
- I can't help you.
(gravel crunching) (pensive music continues)
- So we reviewed the gate footage.
She wasn't seen entering the park
until this afternoon when she went on a hike.
Lana was in town the whole time.
- Great, another dead end.
- We're nowhere at the moment.
We have no suspects, no evidence of a dead body
if there is one, no evidence of how
or why Chelsea disappeared if she faked her fall.
- Then maybe she's hurt or hiding on purpose.
I could go back to the campsite,
see if Blue can pick up a scent.
- It's worth a shot.
(pensive music continues)
(birds chirping) (pensive music)
(engine starting)
(brooding music)
(brooding music continues)
- So we're just gonna head to the right
(pensive music)
(pensive music continues)
- Should be there.
- Blue, come here.
(Blue sniffing)
Okay, search.
(Blue barking) (suspenseful music)
(Blue panting) (suspenseful music continues)
(Blue continues panting) (suspenseful music continues)
Blue's picked up a scent. I'm tracking him now.
- Copy that, NPS has officially joined search and rescue.
(walkie-talkie beeping)
(button clicks) (drone whirring)
(paws pattering)
- Blue.
(tail rattling) (tense music)
(Blue barks)
(tail rattling) (tense music continues)
(snake hissing)
Blue.
(Blue whimpering)
Blue?
(suspenseful music)
(tail rattling)
K9 down, I repeat, K9 down.
Blue's been bit by a rattlesnake.
I'm off scene. I'm taking him to the vet.
You're okay.
(siren wailing)
(tense music)
- How's Blue?
- Okay. - Uh, you can wait
in the equine clinic. - Okay, please, please.
- We'll do everything we can.
(solemn music)
(Jodi exhales)
(phone ringing)
- This is Bill Larsen.
- Hey, Bill, this is Superintendent King.
I'm calling because Blue was bitten by a rattlesnake.
- Oh, no. - Jodi took him to the vet.
I just wanted to inform you.
- (sighs) How's he doing?
- We don't know yet.
- Thanks for telling me.
If you talk to her first, can you tell her something for me?
(horses neighing) (pensive music continues)
- Hi.
- Thank you for coming. - Of course.
We're all very worried for him.
(birds chirping) (pensive music continues)
- In the Army,
I was on patrol,
and it was all routine until we spotted a security breach.
My partner and I went in early.
He got hit. He was fine.
But I should have waited for backup.
It was my job to keep us safe.
It was my call,
and it was a bad one.
(birds chirping) (pensive music continues)
I can't help but think
that Blue getting bitten was my fault.
- No, no.
These things happen. You know that.
Hey,
you're good at what you do, Jodi.
In fact, you're great at it.
Come on. Let's go sit down.
(pensive music continues)
- [Jodi] How did all the details of this case get leaked?
- There's been a tight lid on this all day.
(notification chiming)
Finding something?
- Looks like their little stunt worked.
Chelsea's followers have gone up.
- Disgusting.
- Kyle's doing well, too.
- We don't have any updates as of yet.
I recommend you go home. This could be a while.
- How is he?
- We're having a hard time stabilizing him.
We're concerned he'll go into organ failure,
but he's strong.
He was bitten on the leg, which is a good thing.
He's got a fighting chance. I'll keep you posted.
Until then, there's not much we can do.
(pensive music continues)
(engine starting)
- Let me know if you need anything.
I'll be with the search parties, but I've got my phone.
- Will do.
Hey, thanks for coming.
It means a lot.
(birds chirping) (gentle music)
- [Liza] How's he doing?
- Oh, we don't know yet.
- I'm so sorry.
- We're just hoping for the best.
- Why don't you go home for the night, get some rest?
You know, we have people out there searching.
There's nothing else we can do.
- I just, I need to work.
- Yeah, I understand.
I talked to your dad earlier.
- Oh, my dad. - Oh, no, it's okay.
I told him about Blue.
- How did he seem?
- He said to tell you it was the best one yet,
If you are still on the clock, I think Tyson has an update.
- Thank you.
(pensive music)
- Hey. - Hey, how are you?
- We'll know more soon, thank you.
Why is Kyle still here?
- [Tyson] He has to stay until we hear news about Chelsea.
- King said you had something for me.
- I certainly do.
Was finally able to get into Chelsea's phone.
- What'd you find? - Nothing.
- Nothing?
- That's the interesting thing.
The phone's completely blank except for one social media app
signed in to Chelsea's account.
- There's nothing else on there?
- No contacts, no other apps, no texts, no calls,
the phone's brand new, and it's barely been used.
- That is interesting.
(pensive music continues)
- I know that look.
You're getting an idea.
- In fact, I am.
(door clattering)
(Chelsea exhales) (pensive music continues)
- Babe, you're okay.
The fans have been worried sick about you.
Give, give 'em a few words.
- Hi, everyone, I'm okay.
I've had a harrowing experience, but not a moment passed
that I didn't feel your love and support.
I knew you were thinking of me. (laughs)
- Let's get you to sit down. - I fell down a mountain.
(lips fluttering)
I'm lucky that I didn't hurt myself.
I was trying to find my way back, but I got lost out there.
I am so grateful for all of you.
I'm okay. I'm safe.
And I would like to thank the NPS Police Department
for, what's happening?
- What are you doing?
(phone ringing) (tense music)
(Chelsea exhales)
- Answer your phone, Chelsea, the real one.
Answer it. (phone continues ringing)
(tense music continues)
You were hiding this whole time.
You were both in on it.
- (laughs) I'm sorry.
I just wanted to- - You're both under arrest.
- What? What for?
- Filing a false, missing-person report.
That's a felony to start, and you'll be paying restitution
'cause this is federal land.
- You know, your little staunch left my partner
seriously injured, and if he dies, it's on you.
Negligent homicide of a police officer will be added
to your list of charges.
- Whoa. - I hope it was worth it.
(solemn music)
(birds chirping) (pensive music)
(pensive music continues)
(horse neighing)
(door clattering) (gentle music)
- Hey.
- Hi.
Thanks.
(door clattering) (gentle music continues)
(door clattering)
- Hey.
(gentle music continues)
- Jodi, how you doing?
You good?
(Liza sighs)
Hey, everything okay?
(gentle music continues)
(door clattering)
- Sorry about all this.
- Thank you.
That means a lot.
- You'll be happy to know
Chelsea and Kyle admitted the whole thing was fake,
all of it, not just the first fall.
She was out camping in the woods,
watching her follower count grow by the minute.
(Jodi sighs)
- I'm so glad you got a full confession outta them.
- Turning point was you proving
that Chelsea always had a real phone on her.
I only wish I could have been there
to witness you catch her.
(Jodi laughs)
Good work today, Military.
I know it may not always seem like it,
but I'm glad you're on the team.
- Thank you, Grumpy.
- Grumpy, huh?
- Well, you always call me Military.
I need a nickname for you.
- You can do better.
(Jodi laughs)
- Hey, kiddo. - Hey.
- I'm sorry I missed Mom's birthday.
- You have nothing to apologize for.
Anything yet?
You okay?

(vet exhales)

You wanna see him? - Yes.
(bright music continues)
(Meeks exhales)
- Close, close call.
- Yes.
- You can get back to work now.
- What? I'm going bed.
- What? - (laughs) Yeah.
(door squeaking) (Blue whimpering)
- Hi, buddy. (gentle music continues)
(door squeaking and clattering)
You scared me.
(gentle music continues)
I've got you, partner.
(Blue whimpers)
I've got you. (Blue whimpering)
(birds chirping) (gentle music continues)
(door clattering)
You didn't have to wait.
- I know, but I'm your dad. That's what I do.
How is he? (horse neighing)
- Good, he's a tough one.
- Like someone else I know. (laughs)
- They're gonna keep him overnight.
Should be back on his feet in a few days.
- That's good.
(horses whickering and neighing)
I brought you some of that birthday cake I made.
- Ah, oh.
Really? - Mm-hmm.
Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
(gentle music continues)
Yeah, best one yet.
(both laughing)
Dad. - Yeah, Bug.
- You haven't called me Bug since I was a kid.
I had a dream about Mom,
and she was talking to me like I was a little kid,
and, and everything felt really strange,
and then Blue appeared,
and he ran right up to her as if he'd always known her.
And suddenly I felt,
at ease.
(gentle music continues)
- [Bill] She wants that for all of us.
