All language subtitles for Blue Ridge s02e07 A Matter of Perspective

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.
