Mayor Gray gets help

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I love this show. The Marines come to town in order to help, but are they really Marines? Mayor Gray tries to bribe the Marines with food, etc. The old Mayor(his dad) gets wind of the con job being pulled on the town. He sees the inconsistency of the military behavior as he was in the military himself and hears the town's fireworks from the command base and knows something is amiss. I will not ruin the rest but the town gets a tank out of the deal. Great directing, big budget, and strong acting. 9 out of 10. This show gives Supernatural a run for the money. I cannot wait for the next season. My favorite episode. I think it starts showing here in Canada in February sometime. I hope the strike is not going to delay the showing. I hope the evil mayor from the other town receives payback.
