some fishing and learn how to play the guitar better.

And from what Skooter says I guess

we're gonna play golf, really?

It has been an honor to serve Maksville county

I made friends.

I made friendships that I think are gonna last a lifetime.

I couldn't have done it without you.

[WHOOSHING SOUND]

You having trouble with that thing?

NAT: You do realize I broke the law way less before

you had me go straight, right? ALDEN: Like I said,

you guys wouldn't take your weapons

to a police station. - You're right...

I left my backup in my jeep.

[BULLETS NOT FIRING CORRECTLY]

About that...

he might have been too smart to testify but Johnny

loves to play with firearms.

JO: Nice work, Johnny.

And now we have you on an attempted murder charge.

You see, you were 100% correct.

You actually did walk into another trap.

I think this is what you call checkmate.

Not quite.

Scarlett!

ALDEN: It seems like not that long ago that

I gave a little speech down at the diner and uh...

I'm sure you guys have noticed that I've been

having a little difficulty

with the transition to civilian life.

[SKOOTER SILENTLY MOUTHS] I didn't know that.

Ember reassures me that eventually I'll find something

that will ignite my passion again but it's been hard.

I've tried some of the leisure things like

drinking a case of beer in a week.

All that did was put on 5 pounds.

And golf? Skooter you can have my sticks.

SKOOTER: Really? ALDEN: I can't use 'em!

Well, gentleman's game is not meant for everybody. [CHUCKLES]

After awhile I started to worry that maybe I would

never find anything and um...

then it dawned on me that kinda like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz

that what I was searching for,

I could find right in my own backyard.

So I'm gonna ask y'all to step inside.

Nat here has been cooking up a storm.

I got to discuss a little personal business

with Miss Maddie here.
