What we got?

Two vehicles parked at the other end.

You're on the plates?

I'm doing by sight.

Waves of McGrath's. Yeah, try both.

Oh.

There's two families together in the middle of the night.

That's trouble with a capital T.

Let's go.

Officer down.

Shot fired.

Officer down.

There's an incredible place nearby with authentic Southern-style food.

Hospital cafeteria is fine by me.

You're not from these parts.

I mean, the chicken fried steak is amazing. Fried okra and the best mashed

potatoes and gravy.

We're here for an officer-involved shooting.

Not CSI Waffle House.

Sheriff Wise?

I'm Agent Isaac Hernandez from State Bureau of Investigation.

This is my partner, Abigail.

Good to see you again, Justin.

How's your deputy doing?

Still touch and go.

I'm sorry, I didn't know there was an SBI investigation in the area.

We drove out from Raleigh this morning. Your mayor asked for our assistance.

Is there anywhere we can go talk privately?

Yeah, follow me.

Okay, let's start at the beginning.

What led you and your deputy to the warehouse last night?

We got an anonymous call on our tip line that there was a break-in that was

taking place at the warehouse.

And upon arrival, we ID'd two vehicles belonging to the Wades and the McGrath

clans. Anything unusual about the meet-up?

Besides the fact that both families have illustrious criminal careers.

They have a bitter feud that traces back generations.

What were they doing there? That's what I intended to find out.

What's up, guys?

We'll go back up. Hey!

Drop the weapon! Drop the weapon!

Drop out!

Drop out!

Shots fired.

Officer down.

All right, you don't leave him.

Don't move.

You're under arrest.

It wasn't us.

It was Tyler Wade that shot your deputy.

We tried to revive Tyler Wade, but he died at the scene.

Are you sure that you heard four shots inside the warehouse?

I moved on the first shot.

After that, I don't recall exactly how many shots. It was a little chaotic.

But you definitely heard two shots outside.

That's correct.

In your opinion, did your deputy have valid reason to think that Tyler Wade

was an imminent threat?

Her partner was just shot.

And he shot at her, so yes.

You said Tyler Wade was shot in the back.

That's right.

So he wasn't facing Deputy Covington when she fired the lethal shot?

We haven't got ballistics back yet.

Has she recorded her official statement?

Not yet.

She still shook up from the whole thing. Like I said, we tried to revive Tyler.

How to get RP to the hospital.

That's understandable.

But the sooner we speak to her, the sooner we can clear this up.

Well, in the meantime, there is an established protocol in this sort of

situation, one which I strongly suggest you follow.

talk to SBI they're gonna need to talk you down to the station hear your

version of things you just tell them the truth

I guess

I'm going to need to put you on administrative leave until this

investigation is over.

I hear a gun.

I'm going to need your badge.

Are they in there?

Yeah, Big Phil said I could stay in there as long as I needed them while

they figured everything out.

Hey, um, I need you to do me a favor.

Sure.

We got a tip that there was a break-in.

So we arrived at the scene, ID'd the cars, and radioed Sheriff Wise because

it was the Wades and McGraths.

He made the call. We had probable cause, so we went inside.

Don't take orders from you, tough guy.

I'm so sick of you. Y'all back up. Hey, hey!

Sorry to interrupt y'all, but we just received a call about a giraffe

wandering around downtown.

A giraffe?

Apparently the circus is in town this evening, and I couldn't get a hold of

the sheriff.

I'll handle it. Deputy Covington?

You're on leave.

As a concerned citizen, not the last thing we want is anyone getting hurt.

Okay.

Yeah, we can pick right back up once you take care of the giraffe.

She's hiding something?

Maybe. Or she could still be traumatized.

We can interview the other witnesses and circle back.

Who's next?

Please state your name for the record.

Booster Wade.

Your given name is Booster?

Yep. Uncle Jeremiah gave it to me.

Said when I hit someone, it was like a booster rocket to the moon.

No, your given name is the name that they...

gave you when you were born?

John Wayne.

Your name is John Wayne Wade?

Yep.

Okay, Mr. Wade.

Call me Booster.

Booster.

Can you tell us why you were at the warehouse last night?

Me and Tyler went out there to meet the McGraths about some business.

It's our understanding that your two families don't exactly get along.

Yeah, well, they reached out.

Said they had a deal we... Couldn't miss.

There's 100 in there.

250 a pop.

25 Gs total.

Where'd you get them from?

Wholesaler.

Something ain't right.

Feels like we're being set up.

Why would they want to cut us in?

I'll find out.

We ain't buying no stolen phone.

Why don't you tell us who you got here and where you got them from?

Don't take orders from you. I'm so sick of you. Go back up.

Wait a minute.

We were under the impression that your cousin fired the first shot.

No.

He was doing everything she said.

We've never shooted an officer of the law.

What happened inside was an accident.

He didn't know who was coming through that door. We thought the McGraths were

ambushing us. But outside, he fired at Deputy Covington. No, he didn't.

Never even pointed his gun at her.

He was fire-breathing, knuckle-headed, thought of a book.

Tested my patience more times than I could count.

But he was a true Wade.

Tyler.

Sorry, three laws.

Mm-hmm.

Let's boost you here.

You got a lot of nerve walking to my bar, interrogating me when your

deputy shot my nephew in the back. Don't forget, he shot my deputy first.

You might want to leave before he ain't the only lawman to take a bullet in this

town.

You're breathing.

So I'm going to enjoy the fact that...

Just threaten me.

The truth will come out.

You better wait till it does.

Daisy.

RP, he's stabilized in ICU.

It's only family right now.

But I told him that.

I told the nurses that he would have a friend.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Sheriff!

We will have our justice.

You hear me?

We will have our justice, but there will be a reckoning.

I understand your uncle's already posted bail.

Man, that must be nice having a family with that kind of cash.

It sure is.

Is there a question in there?

Why don't you just walk us through what happened last night?

They're brand new.

Two-fifty apiece.

Where'd you steal them from?

We didn't steal them.

We got them from a wholesaler. And yes, they're legit.

One-fifty apiece.

That's robbery, you know it.

Man, you McGraths know a lot about that, wouldn't you?

They're wasting our time.

Let's go.

You ain't going nowhere. Tyler, just give them the money.

We can sell these.

Okay.

Right after he has real nice.

Let me get this straight. You're saying Tyler Wade drew first and threatened

you? Yes.

He was out of control.

So you tried to sell stolen goods to the Wades, which resulted in a

confrontation, a shootout, and a death, and now there's a deputy fighting for

his life. That sound about right?

Did you see Deputy Covington fire the shot that killed Tyler Wade?

No. We were inside with the sheriff.

How many shots did you hear outside?

You sure?

Yeah, just one.

We're forced to move the bulldozers over there.

How do we get something in?

Got her.

It's hard to relax with you causing such a ruckus.

You own all this?

Yeah, as far as the eye can see.

We own it all.

Been in the family for a century.

Just now decided to develop this particular patch of heaven on earth.

I know that you and Jeremiah worked out some sort of truce. It doesn't explain

why your boys were selling stolen cell phones to the Wades.

Okay, now, I'm sure you were told those boots were not stolen, but I'd be happy

to have our CPA send you the receipts if you need.

Well, maybe they were selling the phones to the Wades, and then they were going

to report them stolen. That way you get rid of two of Jeremiah's men without

breaking up this truce.

Yeah, that would be a plan, all right.

More likely, my boys were just trying to do the Wades a solid, you know, genuine

business opportunity, but...

The Wades being the Wades, they turned it into the OK Corral.

What is a felony to file a false police report?

Good thing they didn't do that then.

Come to think of it, I don't think they broke any laws at all.

They ran from the police.

Tyler Wade shot your deputy.

I think it was less a matter of running from the police sheriff, more a matter

of running for their lives.

McGrath's magazines are fully loaded. They never fired a shot.

Tyler Wade, he fired four times.

Two inside my deputy, two somewhere around the warehouse.

Most likely one near RP and one near Max.

I know you've been doing this a long time. You have good instincts, Justin.

But we have a couple problems.

Both witnesses have already said they only heard one shot fired outside.

Your deputies.

Well, not the word of two criminals, but I'm positive I heard two shots.

So either Tyler fired at Max or Max fired twice.

That's not possible.

Only one round fired, the one that killed Tyler Wade.

Well, then he fired at her outside.

Except witnesses heard him fire four times in the warehouse.

No, I'm positive I heard two shots outside.

Look, you just saw your deputy get shot.

Sometimes stressful situations cause unreliable memories. That's why we have

to use physical evidence.

I know I heard two shots outside.

So, if he didn't fire at her, there's no doubt that she felt her life was in

danger.

Maybe, but we won't know that until she gives us her take on what happened.

The longer she ducks us, the less justified this is going to feel.

Thanks for calling.

Where is she?

She's at her takeout.

She's in the back waiting for it.

Now, I know it isn't pleasant, but you gotta talk to them sooner or later.

I know.

It's that everything after R.P. was shot is a blur.

When I was in Afghanistan, my unit would spend weeks on missions, running ops

among the tribes and the locals.

We didn't know who was a friendly or who was a foe.

One night we were sent to go meet some local Afghan forces.

And on the way, my sergeant yelled, Contact front.

I only had a split second to react.

But I told my men to open fire.

And we battled throughout the night.

And when that sun rose.

It was clear.

That we were sent straight into an ambush.

Now I learned a valuable lesson that night.

To trust my instincts.

To trust my team.

And to trust the brother by my side.

And that is exactly what you did.

You trusted your instincts.

And the brother by your side. your side.

That's why you're alive today.

That's what you need to tell the investigators.

Okay.

I'd like to remind you that you're under oath.

Why don't we start where you left off?

Okay.

Drop the weapon! Drop it!

Drop it!

Shot's fine.

Officer down.

You don't need him.

Sheriff Wise instructed you to stay with your partner.

Did you do that?

No.

Why not?

Because I couldn't just let them get away.

So, you were upset?

Angry even.

They had just shot my partner.

I couldn't give them a chance to ditch the gun.

It was a judgment call.

And it all happened really fast.

Stop! Drop your weapon!

Hey!

Drop your weapon!

Oh, you ordered the suspect to drop his weapon?

Yes. Did he comply?

I don't think so.

You don't think?

It was dark.

And it all happened really fast, so I... I don't know.

Well, you don't know.

Or you don't think.

Or you just don't want to admit the truth.

I want to tell the truth.

But it is all a blur.

So you don't remember pulling the trigger?

No.

But you do remember firing a warning shot?

Yes, I am certain I did that.

And I remember a second shot.

Or two shots.

Deputy, there's only one round missing from your weapon.

The round that killed Tyler Wade.

That doesn't make any sense.

Sure it does.

Allow me to suggest an alternative sequence of events.

One.

Sheriff Wise instructs you to remain with your partner.

Breathe.

Breathe!

But instead, you pursue the suspects yourself.

Two. You exit the warehouse.

To find Wade's fleeing on foot.

Hey! Stop!

Drop your weapon!

Three. They start to comply with your orders.

But you are so consumed with a desire for revenge that you shoot Tyler Wade in

the back.

That's it.

Max. I'm leaving.

Deputy.

What happened in there? My partner just accused her of murder.

Murder?

What do you think you're doing? My job, Sheriff.

Her retelling of events, at least what she claims to remember, is in direct

conflict with the evidence and the other witnesses' statements.

Booster Wade and Candace McGrath? At least their stories are consistent,

unlike your deputy's. I was there. I heard two shots.

So you claim.

Explain something to me, Sheriff.

We know who killed the suspect. We also know that there was only one bullet

fired from her gun.

But the only thing she remembers is firing a warning shot.

And now she has convenient amnesia, and the worst part about it is you believe

her.

What do you get in that?

I know how you country sheriffs cover for your own.

I'm not the type of cop you are.

What kind of cop makes a career out of stabbing other cops in the back? Stop.

We're all on the same team, okay?

We'll sweep the warehouse for ballistic evidence. You keep working the local

angle and see what you can find.

I'll be in the car.

I meant what I said. We need to look for the truth.

Best case scenario, she panicked and overreacted. Worst case scenario, she

shot a guy in the back.

Neither scenario is great, Justin.

We're just doing our job.

Dwayne.

Yes, sir.

You saw that cousin that works at the phone company?

Yes, sir.

We need to find out who made that anonymous tip.

Yes, sir.

Over here.

Spill it.

Look, I brought Tyler here to help me deal with McGrath.

But the boy's vicious nature just got out of hand. He wasn't listening to me.

So I thought I'd have to teach him some respect.

So you called in that tip so that I would arrest him?

Yeah. I figured a few days in the cell would cool his jets and teach him to

respect his elders.

and I did the right thing.

And I'm not getting paid for it.

The question is, Sheriff, would you do the same with one of your own?

What's going on here?

We recovered the missing casings from Tyler Wade's gun inside the warehouse.

We can account for all the bullets.

Your deputy's story is full of holes, and right now our witness's story is

more believable.

You've got to be kidding me. We're just following evidence, Justin.

Deputy,

we're here from the State Bureau of Investigation.

We need to ask you some questions.

Can you tell us what you remember once you got inside the warehouse?

The sheriff and Max went in the front.

I was covered around the back.

Go back up. Hey, hey!

Shots fired.

Officer down.

Of course, Ray.

Don't leave him.

Look at me.

Hey, look at me.

Breathe.

Last thing I remember.

There were two gunshots.

Two gunshots?

Are you certain?

Yeah, I'm positive.

So you're going to let her go now, right?

Ha!

Not hardly.

We've only accounted for Tyler Wade's bullets.

Look, something still doesn't add up.

Just give us a chance to figure out what that is.

In other words, stay out of our way.

Don't leave him.

Look at me.

Breathe!

Tyler did not deserve to go out like that.

Shot in the back.

He needs justice.

Mountain justice is what we need.

Let's go down there and do what the law want.

Jeremiah.

It was a judgment call.

And it all happened really fast.

Drop your weapon!

He was doing everything she said. He was out of control. So consumed with

revenge. They had just shot my partner. Drop your weapon!

They only heard one shot fired outside.

Your deputies. I'm positive I heard two shots.

Tyler fired at Max and Max fired twice. That's not possible.

Only one round fired.

The one that killed Tyler Wade.

This is Max's bullet.

Ma'am, the list of reports.

Thank you.

Hey, where are you taking me?

What are you doing?

Transferring the deputy to our jurisdiction.

Call the sheriff.

You do that, I'm going to arrest you too.

Everyone calm down.

We want that deputy.

We want justice for our family.

Booster, get on out of here.

She killed Tyler.

No, she didn't.

Now, can you tell me who did kill my nephew?

No. They used a rifle, not my deputy's gun.

He's right.

Ballistics say that the slug they pulled from the body wasn't a 9mm.

Go home, Jeremiah.

And take the rest of the clamp. It's with you.

Booster.

Uncover.

Now.

You do it, Festus.

My pleasure.

The bullet that I found at the warehouse matches Max's 9mm.

Her one and only shot.

Her warning shot.

The other shot that I heard came from a rifle. I found this casing, and where I

found it, the shooter would have shot Tyler in the back once he turned towards

Max. And ballistic...

couldn't tie the bullet pulled from Tyler Wade's body to a specific type of

rifle. As you can see, the neck of the cartridge has been enlarged. It comes

from a very unusual weapon. We find that rifle, we find the shooter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kill him, I'll call him. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I will. Yeah.

May I sit?

Well, here we go right here. I'd bet that this was a Japanese .38 Arisaka.

World War II rifle.

Well, G.I.s brought them home as trophies, but they didn't make the right

cartridge size over here, so...

They modified the neck to fit their own custom round.

You know anyone around here who might own something like that?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do.

Tyler Wade was been shot by my deputy.

It took a while, but I found a place where a real shooter hid.

And I found a casing on the roof.

A very unusual weapon.

An old Japanese World War II rifle.

Not many weapons around like that.

But I did find one.

And it belonged to your brother Cliff.

And I'm guessing, Connor, that it now belongs to you.

I knew my boys were taking a risk dealing with the wades, so I wanted to

be there, looking down from someplace high so I could see.

What we got?

Two vehicles parked at the other end.

Wait, grass?

Yeah, there's been all night.

Yeah, there's trouble in the capital T.

That's right.

Call Kansas.

Pick up, son. Pick up.

He turned to fire, had her dead to rights.

So I did what I had to do.

So why don't you step forward and tell me that right away?

Well, I was hoping it would be ruled a justified shooting, which it was, just

by me, not your deputy.

But we have a McGrath shooting a Wade and in the back no less.

This gets out. Our truth is over.

And Tyler's will be the first of many bodies he will be dealing with.

I strongly suggest for the sake of Blue Ridge that this case remain unsolved.

Boss.

You won't believe who's in your office.

Book Mr. McGrath.

Hi.

He's got quite a story.

Wow.

I gotta hear this.

Why was that the warehouse and not at the shooting?

I had the perfect vantage point.

When Tyler and Booster came out, I thought they might get away with it.

Then your deputy showed up.

Stop!

Drop your weapon!

Fired a warning shot.

Hey! Drop your weapon!

And then she froze.

He's a good boy.

But there ain't no doubt in my mind he'd have killed that girl.

Pains me to say, but... Taunter McGrath saved that girl's life.

And you'll testify to that?

Absolutely.

You'd have done the same for me, yeah?

You're a good cop, Justin.

From our perspective, this case is closed.

Get him out of here.

Don't worry.

I can't wait to leave this place.

Now I need to get me some chicken fried steak.

I will tell Ellie to cook you up a batch.

To go.

To go.

Jeremiah, what are you doing up here on the grassland?

My land now.

Your land?

All of it? Well, there's this little patch.

I get it.

Your testimony for this land.

You blackmailed him.

Oh, no, Sheriff, it ain't like that.

You see...

He was just so appreciative of me coming forward for him.

That is a token of his gratitude.

He sold me this here land at a steal of a deal.

That's the price of your nephew's life.

This land.

What I did was told the truth.

Now, Tyler would be glad to know that the land of his forefathers came back to

its rightful owners.

It's so good to be home.

This is just the beginning.
