Although Terry never buys a ticket or comes back to the station. Just like a cab driver confirms she picked the coach up and dropped him off at the train station, where more video footage shows him waiting around. Claude gave a general description of him, specifically the blood on the back of his jacket. They have a casual talk, because Claude works at a strip club called the Peach Crease, where Terry wandered in covered with blood looking for a place to clean up and a “ doc in a box.” Surely suspicious, plus the fact Coach Terry had a change of clothes with him. Ralph sat down with Claude Bolton (Paddy Considine), a recovering addict well-known to the police department. The white van is being picked apart forensically for any and all evidence of what happened to poor little Frankie. The coach doesn’t resist, calmly going along with them across the field to their cruiser. Coach Terry’s surprised when two cops read him his rights and arrest him in front of everybody. Anderson and the police are bearing down on the local baseball game. Was it just a nosebleed? Was Coach Terry really out there cutting up a boy?ĭt. Ralph also talked to a young girl who was going to the park and she supposedly saw Terry, covered in blood, walking back to his van. Frankie got into the van after Terry loaded the bike, and then they were gone. The kid stopped to talk to Terry, who pulled up in a white van for a chat. She was getting groceries and saw the Peterson boy walking his bike with a busted chain. Anderson spoke to teacher Mary Mason (Margo Moorer). We see a bit of the police leg work leading to the arrest. He’s got a warrant and everything’s official, so there’s nothing left to do. Elsewhere, Ralph’s grappling with the terrifying implications of what happened to Frankie, and also with the man he’s going to have to arrest. People are trying to get back to normal, including the Maitlands. The whole town’s been rocked by the murder, obviously. Anderson goes back to the station to speak with the man walking his dog who stumbled onto the slaughtered corpse.Īt home, we meet Coach Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman), his wife Glory (Julianne Nicholson), and their family. He meets Yunis Sablo (Yul Vazquez) from the GBI and take a look at the gruesome mess left in an awful murderer’s wake: a little boy, Frankie Peterson. Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) arrives on the scene. The dog runs off on its own, trailed by its owner, and comes upon what’s surely the murder scene/origin point for all the blood. Further into the woods the dog runs, pulling its owner, to find more blood on a tree stump. At least that’s how it seems, until a dog being walked by its owner sniffs around a van with blood smeared on its door. * For a recap & review of Episode 2, “Roanoke” – click hereĪ normal day in a normal neighbourhood.
