Sheriff Country

- Previously on sheriff country... - My sister Zoey

disappeared 14 years ago.

She went to a party one night, and she never came home.

You're a sheriff's deputy. You can get answers.

Mr. Barlow, you're under arrest for violation

of the United States internal revenue code.

You've sown the wind, sheriff.

Now you shall reap the whirlwind.

Mickey, they shot Travis.

I shot someone.

There's too much pressure.

His heart's not pumping. He's dying.

Tell Nora I love her.

Boone, you are not saying goodbye.

Cover me.

Call everyone.

Ecso under attack.

I'm ready to fight for you now.

Southwest corner.

Copy.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.

Morning.

I think I missed my calling.

I should've gone into medicine.

That is not the ringing endorsement

- that I was fishing for. - I...

I was just thinking about the night I was discharged

from the hospital, and you used the wrong tape

and ripped a chunk of skin off my chest.

It could've happened to anyone.

Twice?

Honestly, Mick,

seeing you in action during the siege...

Never has anyone so clearly found their calling.

Couldn't have done it without my people.

No doubt.

But when you're giving Boone and Cassidy

their medals of valor tomorrow,

maybe think about giving one to yourself?

Okay. How'd I do?

Hey. Epidermis intact.

And how are the lungs?

- Good as new. - Yeah?

I guess Enoch Barlow knew what he was doing?

Don't joke about him.

Don't you remember how much you love my jokes?

I have never loved your jokes.

I feel... so lucky.

I never thought I'd get another chance.

You had me scared there for a minute.

I mean with you.

Mom, can I borrow your hair dryer?

Obviously, this is not how we were gonna tell you.

- Here you go. - Seriously?

Unbelievable.

That is not the reaction I was expecting.

Well, we surprised her, right?

Dispatch to Adam one,

you're needed at the courthouse, stat.

All right, go. Go.

We'll talk about it at dinner. She'll be fine.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Boone, welcome back.

You know, you learn a lot on medical leave.

Like did you know that Bob barker doesn't host

the price is right anymore?

Yeah. I did know that.

Hello, sheriff fox.

- What do we got? - This is Theo.

That's Reid.

Short version, they broke into the courthouse,

hacked the computers, stole a bunch of files,

then set off the alarm. Here's the twist.

They say edge water county hired them to do it.

No, no, they're lying. Someone would've told me.

- Who's that? - That's Russell, the night guard.

I'm calling my boss.

Our contract's in there,

along with the contact info for six people

from the county board of supervisors

who can verify our story.

They hired us to tighten up security after the siege.

So, you're criminals for hire?

White hat hackers. We use our powers for good.

We get paid to do these penetration tests...

Pen tests. No one says penetration.

Basically, we get hired to identify

and exploit any physical or digital vulnerabilities.

We'll be sharing our findings with the county tomorrow.

- It can get awkward. - Yeah.

People do not like their browser history

projected up on a share screen.

Our findings are on those thumb drives.

You buying any of this?

I don't know many burglars that wait around to get caught.

Why wasn't my office notified in advance?

That's part of it.

They're also testing police response time.

Giving us advance notice would defeat the purpose.

Boone and I responded within two minutes, no biggie.

A-plus-plus.

Here, start making calls.

Deputy Campbell, can I have a word?

- What are you doing here? - What do you mean?

I was cleared to return.

- The review panel decl... - Declared it a good shoot.

That's not talking what I'm about that.

It's no small thing to take a life,

even if it's justified.

There's no shame in it if you need more time.

I don't.

You're here. So's Boone.

Why should I be any different?

I'm fine, sheriff.

All right, put those two in your car

while Boone calls around.

Courthouse employees are gonna start showing up.

I have a feeling it might get heated.

What the hell are you saying?

These guys break into my courthouse,

claim it's their job,

and we just take their word for it?

Nobody's taking their word for it, judge caffey.

We have confiscated their belongings,

and deputy Campbell has the suspects in her cruiser

until we verify their story.

Can we at least go inside and see what they rifled through?

I'm sorry, judge macrae.

Not until we figure out whether it's a crime scene.

They copied everything off our computers?

Bailiffs, judges.

All court personnel, I believe so.

But some of that's sensitive material.

I just got off the phone with someone

from the county board of supervisors.

She confirmed the story. These guys are legit.

Thanks for your Patience, everyone.

You can now enter the building.

If you have any complaints,

please take it up with the county.

I'm gonna grab a bite with Nora.

That's great. How's she doing?

You know, she was shaken up at first.

We-we had to stop watching the news.

She didn't like seeing the details.

But...

She really likes being the wife of a small-town celebrity.

And who can blame her?

- She move here yet? - We're getting there.

How about you and Travis?

It's good. It's really good.

Whoa.

What is this girlish glow?

I know, it's gross.

We may have screwed up, though.

We were waiting for the perfect time to tell Skye,

and then this morning, she walked in on us.

- No. - No! God no. No.

Just k-just kissing.

But she wasn't thrilled.

I mean, did you expect her to be thrilled?

Kind of.

Isn't that every divorced kid's dream...

Your parents getting back together?

Give her time.

Once she sees this, glow... she'll come around.

Get out of here.

You guys are free to go.

Nice.

Thumb drives.

Thank you.

Wrists up.

Hey, we're in town until tomorrow.

You like line dancing?

You'll have to excuse my friend here.

He's got a little bit of a crush.

Yo, dude, lay off.

Ooh, we saw you on TV.

That whole siege of the sheriff's office...

That was insane.

You're one of the edge water heroes, right?

I didn't come up with the nickname.

Hey!

You sons of bitches cost me my job.

You should've been better at it!

Hey!

Hey.

You okay?

I-I'm fine.

So, how does it feel to be wearing the badge again?

- It's pretty boring. - No.

You're such a liar. You're beaming.

- That's because I'm looking at you. - No.

Don't even try that.

You just-just keep digging.

Just-just keep digging.

- You now, you have a little something... - What?

Right there.

So bad.

Hey, Amber.
