Quotes 

• Chief Iain Vaughn : This could have been a trap. He could have been luring you here to kill you, Mrs. Bennett. Then we'd be carting two bodies out of here.

  Sarah Bennett : I'm sorry.

  Dylan Bennett : Chief, no one is more upset about this than I am, but the killer led Sarah directly to a body. Do we know who it is and-and why now?

• Chief Iain Vaughn : Mrs. Bennett, I don't go to church, so I don't know what any of this means, but I do know this: Verna McBride had a lot of enemies, and one of them wanted her dead. Now, he or she is piggybacking her murder onto what happened to your parents. It's a smokescreen.

  Sarah Bennett : And you don't think it could be something else?

  Chief Iain Vaughn : Like what?

  Sarah Bennett : I don't know. Maybe Verna is the first, and the killer's on a mission.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : A mission?

  Sarah Bennett : Why... why is everyone pretending that everything's okay? You know, you're... you're renting cottages, you're organizing fundraisers, you're... you're going fishing. I mean, what you need to be doing is telling people that they're in danger!

  Chief Iain Vaughn : I'm sorry. What *I* need to do?

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah! What you need to do.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : Mrs. Bennett, life is not a mystery novel. Now, I appreciate your concern, but... I got this under control, all right?

• Sarah Bennett : Why would the Executioner send me Verna McBridge's finger?

  Chief Iain Vaughn : Can we quit referring to him as the Executioner, like he's some god damn supervillain?

  Sarah Bennett : Really? That's what you're worried about right now? What I'm calling him?

• Sgt. Cam Henry : We found ID on the remains.

  Sarah Bennett : It's Peter McBride, isn't it? Verna McBride shot him.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : What exactly does that mean?

  Sarah Bennett : Tom Winston has a theory.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : A theory? Hmm.

  [to Cam] 

  Chief Iain Vaughn : Do you know about this?

  Sgt. Cam Henry : No, sir.

  Sarah Bennett : Tom thinks the Executioner is killing people for their sins. The seven deadly sins. Verna's was anger, and the biblical punishment for anger is being dismembered alive.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : Well, I guess my work here is done, huh? Because Tom Winston has gone and figured it all out for me! This is a murder investigation! Do you understand? And if you think I'm gonna give any credence to the ramblings of the town's resident serial killer, you're out of your god damn mind!

  Sarah Bennett : [Vaughn storms off]  It's a theory, Cam.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Yeah, one of many. Look, maybe you should put a little more faith in the police than faith in the guy who murdered your parents, huh?
