Jericho Ridge

It's bright and clear out there today.

We're looking at a high of 45 degrees this afternoon.

Wind's fairly light at ten miles per hour

before peaking up to 18

as the temperature dips down to 30

as we head into the evening.

Now tonight, make sure you wrap up warm as conditions takes

an Arctic turn.

Temperature's plunging down to 23 with heavy snow pushing

through overnight.

A strong chance of deep drifts tomorrow morning,

so make sure you keep listening for updates

and wherever you are, take care out there.

Now, over to Stephane with all your travel and...

Elect the change we need.

Vote Bob Peck for Clay County Sheriff.

I'll protect your second amendment rights

and defend our community from liberal elites and...

We're heading to the office.

Okay, then. I'll see you later.

I'm pretty sure I just said "We."

Monty.

Monty.

What the hello, mom?

If you want to ride up front like an adult,

then you take them off.

But it's not like we were talking.

But it's rude.

Then how come it's okay at home?

Because there's a wall between us.

Are you coming?

I'm gonna wait here.

Why would you do that?

Because it's embarrassing.

You don't think it's embarrassing sitting out here

by yourself?

Beats another lecture.

Hey, Tabby.

Hey.

Uh, what are you doing here? You should be resting.

Anymore resting, I'm liable to go batshit.

Eddie said he needs me riding dispatch for few hours.

I figured you guys had some kind of emergency.

More like a robbery.

Huh. Doesn't exactly sound like a red ball.

It was here.

Somebody b-and-e'd the sheriff's office?

Yeah, talk about brass balls,

How did they get in?

Front door.

No sign of forced entry.

Ah, well, they picked the lock.

Alarm didn't scare them off?

Well, it might have done if someone had remembered

to set it.

Do I get a prize if I can guess who?

Only if it's big and heavy, and I get to beat him

half to death with it.

So, where's Eddie?

Out on a call. Domestic situation.

That's him now.

Yeah, my mom clipped that out of the paper.

I... I was gonna take it down.

Not on my account.

Come on.

Hey, good to see you, Tab. How's the ankle?

Bugging the crap out of me.

And how's Monty?

See my previous answer.

Yeah. Here we go. Come on.

Earl Macready.

Yeah, wife locked herself in the bathroom,

called for help.

Is she gonna press charges this time?

Unlikely.

She started bawling as soon as I slap the cuffs on him.

I'm gonna send him home when he sobers up.

Dennis, show the gentleman to his new lodgings.

Come on.

I wanna make a goddamn phone call.

Come on.

I ain't going nowhere until I speak to my lawyer.

Does your lawyer have a name?

You know he doesn't have enough to pay legal fees.

What he needs is a public defender.

Hey Dennis, where's old Bill Sackler?

Deer Lake.

Took his pole and went fishing.

Hmm. Any way of reaching him?

Not while the fisher bite.

Come on.

You won't lay your damn hand on me

and I'll jalapeno their ass.

Hey.

Drop it.

Hey.

I wanna make my fucking phone call.

Drop it.

I know my god damn rights.

Put a hole in him, Dennis.

Fuck you, Tabby.

Holster that sidearm, Chief Deputy.

Eyes on me. Earl. Earl.

We're a little busy here today.

So the less of our time you waste,

the more favorably you're gonna get dealt with.

I happen to know you're a gambling man.

Yeah?

An unsuccessful one, but enthusiastic nevertheless.

I want you to take a second and consider the odds here.

There are three of us.

And there's one of you.

We're sporting guns.

You're packing two fluid ounces of pressurized hot sauce.

There's only one way a confrontation like that

goes down.

And it does not favor the underdog.

Rumpus time's been and gone.

It's nap time.

With me, Tab.

Nearly home.

Alright, alright, alright.

In we go. There.

Still want my goddamn phone call.

My lawyer's gonna have y'all's ass.

Sweet dreams.

I didn't do shit.

Asshole.

What's missing?

Current tally is four pistols.

Three Sigs and a Beretta APX.

Couple of hundred rounds of hydra-shok

and 20 grand the judge signed for undercover meth buys.

Shit.

You don't think that's weird?

They took the pistols but left the heavy artillery?

Yeah, kind of had me buffaloed too.

You got anything on camera?

I thought we were supposed to get these cameras upgraded.

We did.

Picture quality is just as crappy as the last ones.

I couldn't agree more.

So, what's the difference?

New cameras are covert.

Pretty much invisible to anyone that doesn't know

that they're there.

I got them off a spy website.

Oh. But isn't that the point of having them so they act

as a deterrent?

Yes.

So, how are they deterrent if people can't see them?

Money well spent.

God, I missed you, Tab.

Have we put out a state wide APB?

Oh, I'd like to think we could do our own dirty laundry.

Now, the sheriff's election is in two weeks.

And we just had a murder investigation dropped

right in our laps.

That's Jem Denton.

Yeah, picked him up a couple of nights ago

at a rest stop in Pine Hollow.

Took one to the back of the head execution style.

No witnesses.

It wouldn't have taken five minutes

to drag his body into the woods.

Whoever did wanted him found.

Yeah, it's a warning.

Someone out there sending a message.

It kind of narrows down the list of suspects.

Um-hmm.

Where are we with forensics?

Coroner dug a bullet out of his skull.

She sent it up to the state lab in Union Creek.

First things first. We gotta get our guns back.

There's no way I'm winning an election

if I can't get my house in order.

And if I lose, that asshole Bob Peck's in.

And if Bob Peck's in, you'll all be drawing welfare.

And that's not gonna happen.

Not on my watch.

Sounds like you have a plan.

Anonymous tipster called in.

He said they saw Arnold Beauchamp

firing off pistols this morning in the woods behind his cabin.

Arnie Boo?

You know him?

Back in the day, we were in high school together.

Arnie's a doomsday prepper and a second amendment freak.

He's not the sort of guy you wanna be sneaking up on.

If anyone understands the need for light touch,

it's me, Tab.

Whaddup, whaddup?

Oh hey, Tabby. It's been a minute.

What you carrying there, Walter?

Oh, these?

These things are sprouting out like goddang weeds.

You pull one up and two more take their place.

Do you have any idea the kind of stink you'll cause

if anyone sees you stealing those signs

in a sheriff department vehicle?
