James Lindsay, huh?

Jim.

Is there a problem, officer?

I'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle, sir.

Okay.

Turn around.

Hands on the truck.

You have the right to remain silent.

I can make noise if I want to though, right?

Chief Bishop, Chief Bishop, come in.

Oh, what the fuck. Keep going.

- Okay. - Let them find someone else.

Chief Bishop?

Angela.

Mrs. Gross' sheep got loose on the Steiner property.

- They're eating his winter plantings. - Oh, fuck.

I'm in the middle of something. Uh...

...can Logan take care of it?

Logan's at the church.

The pecan pies were stolen from the potluck supper.

Obviously can't pull him off that.

Uh-huh.

Obviously. Um, what about Teddy?

It's week two, do you think he can handle a sheep crisis?

Teddy's out of commission. He just got his wisdom teeth pulled.

Should I let Mr. Steiner know

you're en route?

Sure, Esther.

This is me en route.

It's okay. You can pull me over again some other time.

I'm sorry. You can swing by the station later.

Okay, sure thing.

Hey, Mr. Lindsay.

Hey, you coming to the match next week?

I'm sure gonna try.

Go Hawks.

'Sup, Jimbo? How are you and Angela doing?

- Doing all right? - Yeah, as far as I know.

Why? What have you heard?

Only good things, Jim. Only good things.

Edward Olsen heading up to his chalet.

Yep.

- Hey, Gig. - You got my stuff.

There you go.

You're a lifesaver, Jimmy.

Please tell me you have

a strawberry cream cheese sweet roll in there?

I don't know what I would do without you, Jim.

- Well... - Mm!

Oh, it's so good.

Just so you know, it's gonna be a stress-y kind of week.

Brian and I are adopting.

It's so much pressure.

Wow. Yeah, I can only imagine.

Brian wants to call him Garfield.

I mean, who names a dog after a cat?

Evidently Brian does.

I think this pup looks more like a Gromit, don't you?

On this one, I think I'm basically Switzerland.

Smart man.

And here we go.

Just the guy I wanna see.

- Jim. - How can I help you?

Oh, I just rolled into town with my posse. Gonna do a little hunting.

Gonna need a new knife and a big-ass gun.

All right, you looking for a skinning knife,

- or a... - Oh, this one.

- This one's perfect. - Okay.

Wow.

Hey! Easy there!

Is there a problem?

I kinda have a thing about blood.

Oh. Ooh.

Anyway, uh, how about that rifle?

The Remington 783 will do the job.

It's got a good scope, solid construction.

You drop it a dozen times, it'll still shoot straight.

Yeah, yeah, I hear you, man. Here's the thing.

- Uh, my friend Bill over there... - Yeah?

...he's already got that one,

and I want a gun that's gonna make his one look like a Super Soaker.

- Ah. - So...

- That one. I want that one. - You sure?

It's gonna set you back $9,000.

I got a nice Christmas bonus at Morgan Stanley.

Okay.

You know, this is way more firepower

than anything you need hunting around here.

Oh, yeah? What do you hunt?

Me? I don't anymore.

I haven't killed any animals since I was a teenager.

Look at you, Saint, uh, Jim.

Yeah, I'll take it.

Not a problem.

Just gonna need some ID

for the federal background check.

Dude, really?

How long you been working here?

Mm, a couple years.

That's me, up on the wall.

I was on Fred Senior's Little League team when I was six.

- Nice. - Yo, Matt!

- We need this stuff? - No, no.

I got a ton of that in my dad's mud room.

Speaking of my dad, he bought me my first rifle

in this very store when I was ten.

What the actual fuck, man?

It happens sometimes.

It's just a 24-hour hold while the FBI checks on your record.

So, same time tomorrow?

Well, dude, just sell me the gun.

I gotta follow procedure.

Neither of us want Fred to lose his business, right?

Oh, yeah. Oh, okay, Eagle Scout.

You know, you break a rule,

sometimes you might even have a little fun.

Oh, fuck it. Whatever.

Means I get to start drinking earlier.

- Taking this though. - Okay.

- Gotta keep your guard up, dude! - Whoa!

Damn it! Matt, I almost shit myself.

So fucking...

Come on, let's get out of here. Let's get our swerve on!

First round's on you.

Thanks for shopping at Fred's Fish & Game.

Jim.

Jim, I heard a red flag came up on Matt Caldwell.

Seems like trouble follows Caldwell the Lesser wherever he goes.

There really are no secrets in this town.

Ange is in a meeting.

Hey, Teddy. How you feeling?

Been better.

Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, can you give me a hand with these?

Evidence from the Congregational church theft.

Keeping Iron Lake safe one pie at a time.

You're welcome very much.

Logan, you've known Matt since forever,

what do you think he could have done

to flag the FBI on a gun background check?

He tried to buy a rifle at Fred's. I'm sure it's just a formality.

These pies smell amazing.

Matt Caldwell's a good guy.

Kicking some major ass on Wall Street.

I mean, he likes to hang, drink, gamble, fight or two in high school.

But, no, yeah, he's a good guy.

I bet it was that boat crash out in Ohio.

No, no way. Matt wasn't even driving.

- Five people died. - Shit.

Matt was in the hospital for weeks.

Shattered femur, major surgery.

That whole thing was just a really tragic accident.

In fact, I bet his record is spotless.

Okay, maybe a few spots.

Is there any progress on putting up that stop sign

over by Louis's Package Store?

That's an accident waiting to happen.

- That's all I'm saying. - Thanks for your time, Dennis.

I will let you know if anything else turns up.

Sure thing.

See ya, folks.

- So, no good, huh? - The same as always.

No body, no pattern, no case.

And no funding.

Until one of these women turns up dead.

Hey, my money's on you.

Line dancing tonight?

What time?

- Oh. - Oh.

I thought it was more of a-a group thing. My bad.

You two have fun.

- See you tonight. - Bye.

Sorry.

Mad dash. Thought you'd appreciate seeing your girlfriend

in something other than a state-issued uniform.

You look cute in that uniform.

That's why I like you, Jim Lindsay.

- What's up, Jim? - Hey, Ramon.

You're working on a school night?

School has finals all week. Ergo, I don't have to grade anything.

So, picking up some extra shifts

- before the holidays. - Got it.

Chivas, rocks, IPA, and a veggie nachos?

- Am I that predictable? - Wanna shake it up?

- I got a pickleback special. - No.

We're good. Uh, just put it on my tab.

No need. Matt Caldwell's buying everyone a round.

Yo, it's Jim! Jim!

Jim! Jim! Jim! Jim! Jim!

Jim! Jim! Jim! Jim!

Put it on my tab anyway.

Okay. Chivas, rocks, IPA, nachos.

Yeah.

Chug. Give me the fucking bottle.

Last thing that guy needs is more liquor.

Or more firepower.

You know the messed up part?

FBI gets backed up and half the flags clear automatically.

People fall through the cracks all the time.

Oh, I fucked it up!

You're off the clock. Let's not talk about work.

Let's dance.

Can't let Esther and Alan show us up.

- Now we're talkin'. - Hey, Matt.

I'm having a party tomorrow at my dad's place. You should come.

I'll, uh... see.

Great.

Hey, listen.

I was thinking.

Why don't we get out of here?

You could open up your shop, give me that rifle.

My guys and I, we wanna go hunting in the morning.

If your background check clears, you can come and pick it up

at the store in the morning.

I'm sure your buds are gonna be really impressed

with the size of your gun.

Man. This Eagle Scout loves his rules!

Why don't you come to the party anyway?

You never know.

Matt Caldwell's been cleared.

He wants the gun dropped off at his dad's lodge.

Should we really sell him that gun?

Nine grand? Uh, yeah.

- It's called commerce. I'm into it. - Right.

Plus, Matt's dad's been a real friend to us for years, so...

I'm not comfortable delivering the gun. Can't you do it?

Brian and I are picking up Garfield.

Yeah, I lost the name battle. Happy husband, happy life.

Uh, not really.

All right, all right! Huh.

I did everything you said on the boat, okay? It's true.

I admit it. I was wrong.

I was wrong! Just please, please...

You shot my deer!

And you almost... killed... me!

I promise! I promise, I will never do anything like it again.

I swear to you.

I promised the same thing and look at me now.

Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait!

You don't understand! It's not my fault!

It's not my fault!

Okay? My mom died when I was eight!

My dad, he was never around. He was always working!

I had... I had a shitty childhood, okay?

You're blaming this on bad parenting?

It's true. It's not my fault, okay?

I didn't have anyone.

I had... I had nothing.

I had no compass. I-I was just...

You know, I lost both my parents when I was young, too.

I wouldn't have had any direction if it wasn't for Harry.

Who's Harry?

He adopted me.

Then you understand. You get it.

So you're not gonna kill me!

We're past the point of no return on that one.

You know what?

Fuck you, man!

My dad, he is gonna destroy you!

He knows everybody in this town.

They love him. They would do anything for him.

And when he finds out what you did to me, he is gonna find you

and he is gonna rain down

a world of pain on you, man!

You have no idea what you're doing!
