Go on.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

I'm getting out today.

Yeah?

You got my money?

What money?

What money.

You're funny. - Yeah.

My money.

Nothing to give you.

So be it.

What money?

You know, Junior,

you gotta be careful betting against the underdog

might just bite you.

By the way, you ever want to find me again,

I'll be heading home to Blue Ridge.

I want my family back

represented in this here museum.

We built this community, Sheriff

and deserve to be here.

Now, I'm serious

as a heart attack.

It's not my call.

I'm a tenant here, too.

And a reluctant one at that.

It's not even my business.

Well, whose dadgum business is it?

The museum's.

And who runs the museum?

The county commission.

Oh, and who, pray tell,

is the head of the county commission?

Connor McGrath.

Bingo.

Bingo.

I can't do it.

Can't?

Or won't?

You know...

it doesn't matter.

My family will not be erased from Blue Ridge.

We will be back

represented in this here museum.

Well, well, looks like the gang's all here.

Love the new digs.

Very chic, Sheriff.

Lunchbox.

87.

Looking strong.

87?

It's the number on my football jersey.

Hello, Sheriff.

Silas.

Aren't you supposed to be in prison?

What do you know?

Time off for good behavior.

Lucky me.

Howdy, Jeremiah.

Silas.

We ain't done here.

Mind?

What are you doing here?

Well,

I'm kind of required to show up at the station,

given my parole status. So-

this is me showing up.

Duly noted.

Now, you may want to replant your roots in another county.

No, sirree.

Blue Ridge, born and bred.

And now that I've heard you've been doing

such a great job cleaning all the crime up,

I'm going to feel nice and safe

and cozy here, Sheriff.

So thank you for that.

But I best be going.

Got lots to do now that I'm

out and free and back home.

Nice catch.

See you guys around town.

Who in the world was that?

Silas Creedy. Played football together.

He's bad news.

We were friends

till we weren't.

Why did he call you lunchbox?

Because he used to make fun of my lunchbox.

Well, what was it?

Huckleberry Hound.

Whatever. I never liked him anyway.

He's one of the hill people.

They live up on Rust Hollow Road.

Live like it's 1800s up there. It's freaky.

One thing for sure is they definitely

do not like outsiders.

They got their own law, which we can't trust.

Now, Silas,

he was raising havoc when I first came to town.

I couldn't pin anything on him till he nearly

beat this guy to death at a football game.

He pleaded self-defense, but I got the D.A. to prosecute.

Silas represented himself.

He should have got 25 to life,

but he got six,

out in three.

He's smart.

And ruthless.

Let's keep an eye out on him.

All righty.

Here we go.

You have a good day at school today, darlin'.

Thanks, grandpa.

Hey, Twig!

Here you go. - Thank you, Mrs. Wise.

Okay.

Have a good one. You too.

Ah, my head is killing me.

Do have an aspirin? - No.

But I have something else.

It's called Sky Fire.

What?

What is it?

All I know is, they say it'll make you

feel better instantly.

Take only a little bit of it, though.

Supposedly hits you hard.

No, I don't know about that.

Are you sure?

Twig.

I'm not- - Maddie!

- ...feeling good. - Maddie?

Maddie?

Call-

Maddie?

Can you hear me? Maddie?

I don't want to talk about it.

Too bad. That's not an option.

Mom, please?

Honey, we need to know.

I had a headache, and I took a part of a pill.

Okay? It was stupid, I know that.

Okay. What type of pill?

Where did you get this?

From a friend, okay?

Please don't ask me to tell you who.

- Blade? - No.

No, it wasn't him.

Then who?

Being known

as the sheriff's daughter

is hard enough.

I can't be a snitch, too.

And if I tell you where I got this from,

then nobody will speak to me, ever.

Okay, Maddie,

why don't you go wait in the car?

I need to talk to your father.

I need to know where this pill came from.

It's my job. - I understand.

Okay, but sometimes being a father

takes precedence over being a sheriff.

She messed up.

She knows it.

Well, it's a synthetic drug.

Goes by the name Sky Fire.

It's cheap.

Mass produced

and some batches, are laced with fentanyl.

It just recently hit the radar.

But there have already been OD deaths

in Georgia

and North Carolina.

Like always...

dealers are targeting teenagers.

We have to figure out what we're dealing with

and who's bringing it into Blue Ridge.

It's not just about Maddie.

Think maybe Silas is involved?

That was my first instinct,

but he just got out of prison yesterday,

so the timeline doesn't work out.

But let's keep eyes on him.

Maxx, reach out to neighboring counties

and see if anyone has any similar incidents.

Dwayne.

Yes, sir.

You know everybody in this town.

People trust you.

So you keep your eyes and ears open

and you report anything suspicious.

Dwayne is on the case.

All right. RP, come with me.

Where we headed?

Where we always start

local criminal mastermind.

You expect me to believe that someone is

breaking the law in Blue Ridge

and you don't know about it?

I don't.

And I'm highly offended by the insinuation.

You'll get over it.

Wade's built Blue Ridge.

And I protect it, the same as you do.

Fine.

As a concerned citizen...

who do you think would be involved?

If I had to hazard a guess,

I'd say Bubba Lee Haggard.

Bubba Lee Haggard.

The big fellow over at Howard Creek Basin?

The guy who dabbles in the moonshine business?

- That's the one. - And you wouldn't trying to

eliminate the competition, would you?

No.

It's the real deal.

Caught him in here selling

something last week.

Had Tyler throw him out and

put a beating on him for good measure.

Let's go, deputy.

Have a good day, Dixie.

Be safe.

See what you can find out about

Jeremiah's latest lapdog.

See if his

bite's as big as his bark.

I'll check on Bubba Lee.

Hey, Twig.

Hi.

I brought Maddy's homework.

I came to check and see how she's doing.

That's sweet of you.

You're a good friend.

She's in the back doing some dishes.

How about you have a seat

and I'll get you guys

some hummingbird cake.

I'm trying out a new recipe.

Thanks.

I am so sorry, Maddy.

I had no idea what hit you like that.

Thank you

for not telling I gave it to you.

Yeah.

Just now I'm suspended and

in so much trouble

with my parents.

Just promise me you won't use it.

I promise.

Good.

Where'd you even get it from?

Some guy at a bonfire party last weekend

had them.

You gave me something

from some random guy?

He was older.

He seemed trustworthy.

Wow.

Unbelievable, Twig.

He just gave them to us for free.

It wasn't like he was a dealer.

But I promise I won't take it.

Next.

Next.

I didn't realize pharmacists wore fanny packs.

I'm done, dude.

I'm done.

What'd you find?

Searched his apartment.

Found enough to put him away for a while,

but no Sky Fire.

We didn't find anything in his car,

but he is singing like a canary.

He says some young guy from the city popped up

last week and started dealing this Sky Fire.

Any idea who he is? Nope.

We need to find him ASAP

before somebody gets killed.

Anything from the neighboring counties?

None of them even heard of Sky Fire.

It's strange how it skipped over them

and popped up in Blue Ridge.

Yeah, it is strange.

All right, stay vigilant, deputy.

Copy that.

Elli?

Hey, Justin.

What's up?

I think I might know who gave Maddie the pill.

Hey.

You're good.

He uh...

he in there?

You're late.

This is good.

This is real good.

You're not mad about the sheriff's daughter?

Nah.

That's what we call a happy accident.

I don't know, maybe.

Maybe with all the heat that this has stirred up,

we should just set up shop somewhere else.

It's never just been about the money.

See, our main goal is to disturb

the sheriff's peace in this quiet little town.

That's exactly what we're doing.

Drugs.

Drugs.

You sure it was Twig that gave them to Maddie? - No.

That's why I came to you first.

Have you noticed anything suspicious?

You live with a teenage girl.

It's all cloak and dagger

whether it's their

homework or their phones.

Or someone gave them a funny look at recess.

What do you want me to do?

Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.

And you let me know if you see anything immediately.

I ain't exactly in the keeping my mouth shut business.

Yeah, I understand,

but I need you to try.

All right, fair enough.

What is this world coming to?

Tyler Wade.

He's the most rotten egg out of a

family of rotten eggs.

Tons of arrests, but

nothing drug related.

It was a long shot.

We shall leave no stone unturned.

Let's go back to the beginning.

RP,

find out everyone that was

arrested in other states

and see if they have any connection to Blue Ridge.

On it.

Maxx.

Look up the ingredients in this Sky Fire.

And see if anything's localized to Blue Ridge.

Copy that.

I got him to sell this to me.

You should have seen me, Sheriff.

I was cool as the Fonz eatin' a cucumber.

All right. This is your guy, Sheriff.

I split this case wide open.

Did you get a photo of him?

- Uh... - These aren't Sky Fire.

How do you know that?

Because they're candy.

- Uh uh. - Cinnamon Hots.

Congrats, brother.

You just cracked the case of the candy cartel.

Dwayne,

take me to where you found this guy.

We like your proposal, Oak.

We like it a lot.

Before her murder, Barbara Banning

was a pillar of Blue Ridge.

And to that end, the McGrath Family Trust

would like to provide you with funding

to purchase the Banning Ranch.

- Good deal. - Yeah? Yeah.

However,

we would like to make some changes to the proposal.

- It figures. - Well, actually, it's-

it's just one change.

What is it?

We'd like to insert a clause that says

the property cannot be sold for the next

100 years.

- Okay. - Yeah.

And

that it can never be sold

to the descendants of one particular family.

Let me guess which one.

We didn't find any connection with Blue Ridge

and other states with Sky Fire incidents.

I guess all the other law enforcement are struggling too.

One of the men of my unit,

came back from Afghanistan

only to find his

teenage son was addicted to

a drug similar to

Sky Fire.

He got him into rehab.

Ended up going to rehab like six times

til one day his

his father came home.

He found him dead in the bathtub.

There's been another overdose.

Don't know anything yet.

When she got here, she was unconscious.

Has anyone found Mister Miller?

Where is she?

Hey!

Boys, you have stepped in it now!

Dang, old man.

I see either one of you

anywhere near here, or Blue Ridge again,

I'm gonna kill the both of you.

Any word?

She's going to be okay.

Thank God.

Hmm.

She say anything about where she get the pills from?

No.

Look, if she does,

you need to tell me.

Hmm.

Don't you take matters into your own hands.

Oak.

I mean, it.

Who spat in your coffee?

Another OD last night.

They live?

Yeah.

You know Si, this last batch, it's-

it's pretty potent.

Yep.

That's the way I want it.

You know, I'd be surprised if they didn't

at least suspect you at this point.

Why do I care?

I'm safe and sound here.

They can't come in.

Jagger.

Get back to work.

Yeah.

- What's up, deputy? - Hey, boss.

There was an incident down at Jeremiah's earlier.

When isn't there an incident at Jeremiah's?

I know, but this one was about Sky Fire.

Caught a couple of guys dealin' and

Dixie said he took care of them pretty good.

Neither one of them were locals.

If Jeremiah has any idea

where these drugs are coming from

we need to find out.

Hey, Oak.

What can I help you with?

You don't

usually imbibe at this hour.

Cut the crap, Jeremiah.

I need to know who's peddling drugs to our kids.

Oh, why don't you shut up, old man?

Hmm.

Well,

I'm guessing if he can't respect his elders, he should

at least learn which ones to fear.

My granddaughter is in the hospital.

She all right?

She's gonna be.

That don't excuse things.

Oak, I don't know nothing about these drugs.

But if I find out who,

there will be a reckoning.

You got my word on that.

I am such an idiot.

Yeah, it was a stupid move.

But you can help fix this.

Just tell me what you know about

the guy who gave you the pills.

I don't want people to think I'm a snitch.

Twig.

You nearly died.

And the next person may not be so lucky.

Dad!

Dad!

I found out who's selling Sky Fire.

Twig doesn't know his name,

but they call him "The Face".

Like the A-Team?

Uh no. They call him that

because he looks like a movie star.

He's old. - Like in his 50s?

Uh, no. Like your age.

Like I said, he's older than us,

but he just started hanging out at school events.

Um, Twig said he was at the basketball game

and then the pep rally,

and then he showed up at the party

where she took the pill.

He's in the back.

- Is this is the guy you saw? - That's him, Sheriff.

I'd stake my assistant deputy position on it.

Great job, Maddie.

R.P., why don't you go out to that party location,

see what you can find. You know where it's at?

Yeah, it's on the back side of Old man Hastings property.

Used to go there after the games.

Maxx, run this photo through the national database.

See what you come up with.

Got it.

I'm going to find this guy, and we're going to end this.

Love it when a plan comes together.

The more things change.

Thanks for taking the time to meet with me, Principal Skinner.

This is the guy who's been selling drugs to your students.

He's dangerous.

Have you seen him?

Not that I can remember.

Can you share the photo with me so I can show it around?

Just to people that you trust.

We want to find him before

he knows that we're looking for him.

Of course.

Oak.

Twig told me what she told Maddie.

Thought you could use some help finding this scum.

I can't have you messing up this investigation.

Well, Sheriff, you and I both know that I ain't going to quit

until these folks are brought to justice.

Either we can work together, or we can try that alternative.

Again.

Get in the truck.

So you don't wanna work today?

Go get Silas.

Boog.

Uriah.

You don't want to work today?

Said his conscience was bothering him

after that girl ended up in the hospital.

All right, walk with me.

So you don't want what?

Get up!

You're banished!

He's banished!

Every body works!

Now Oak, if we find him...

you can't do anything drastic.

Hey, I am just a concerned citizen.

Of course, if he tries to flee, I may

have to make a citizen's arrest.

And I'm not always a model citizen.

Wait a minute.

That's him right there.

Oh, no. No, no.

Let's follow him.

I got a hunch.

- What's up, Maxx? - The dealer's facial recognition popped.

His name's Jagger Mercer. Just got out of jail six months ago.

Let me guess. Same one as Silas?

They were cellmates. How'd you know?

I'm just sitting here thinking back on my high school days.

Silas used to sell a bunch of drugs at these parties.

That's why we quit being friends.

I spoke to the warden, and Silas protected Jagger

and saved his life. So he owed him.

And this is how he's paying him back?

That's how Silas was able to get Sky Fire

into Blue Ridge before he got released.

They gave him an alibi.

Also explains why they gave so many drugs away for free.

Silas is here to

get back against the sheriff.

Good work Maxx.

Let's get him.

My jurisdiction ends at that bridge.

Lucky for you, I don't have to play by the same rules.

You just sit tight. I'll bring back the both of 'em.

We only get one shot at Silas.

Let's regroup and make a plan.

All right?

All right.

Oh, darlin,

you shouldn't be here.

Mr. Wade, sir.

I need your help.

Our community needs your help.

Silas knows he's safe in there,

and he's not going to come out before

someone else OD's or dies.

But we need to go in there and get him.

The second we step foot on that bridge,

they're going to see us coming from a mile away.

Yeah, we need to flush him out.

There's no other way in

except for that bridge.

I know another way.

If a small group was to go up through the woods,

come up Wiseman Creek, we could get to the cabin

from the back side.

You'd have to go through the Banning ranch and

your property, Jeremiah.

Well, you got my permission.

Of course, we'd have to go in on horseback.

No problem.

All right.

What do you mean, we?

That could have been my boy

just as easy as Maddie or Twig.

We don't sell drugs to kids in Blue Ridge.

Besides that, heard the man's got some

serious hired muscle up there.

May not want to take that one on yourself.

You two, get yourself stationed here by the bridge.

Just inside our jurisdiction.

The three of us

will go by horseback

through the Banning Ranch and

flush Silas out.

Yeah, we can do that.

Can you ride, city boy?

I can ride.

Yeah, we're about to test that.

Okay, you two, go get the horses ready.

I'll meet you at Oak's in an hour.

Ready?

Come on, Jeremiah, let's go.

You sure about this, boss?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Sir, you can't do anything on their property.

Your badge is worthless there.

You're essentially trespassing,

and Silas knows that. So

anything goes wrong, I mean,

it could be really bad for you.

Yeah,

I know,

but you gotta keep those two from doing something worse.

We can't let Silas destroy Blue Ridge.

Well boys, let's ride.

Okay. I'm gonna go position myself

by the bridge.

Can you drive them my way?

We can do that.

You bet we can.

All right. You get him on that bridge,

I'll flank him. Keep him from escaping.

Get him across that bridge to my deputies.

You get to Silas.

- Yep. - All right.

I'll take the other three.

The other three?

Yeah. Light day.

You think this is a smart plan?

Teaming up with Jeremiah?

Smart?

No.

Absolutely not.

Silas!

This all ends right here and now.

You Wades think you're big in Blue Ridge

but you mean nothing up here.

This is your only warning, Jeremiah.

Stay out of this.

Oh, it's too late for that.

You brought your trash to Blue Ridge.

Now I'm here to take it out.

Boys!

Don't do it, fellas.

Throw 'em out in the middle.

Now! All of them.

Tough guy with a gun.

Oh? That's all?

Well, let's put that away.

Have you come out.

Make it fair. Bring your friend with you.

Oh. With pleasure.

Oh, this just good.

Get up! Come on.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, no! You don't.

Get.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Come on.

Keep up.

Someone here wants to see you.

Can't do this to me, old man.

Can and will.

Now, shut your mouth

and get across the bridge.

Or if you want, I can hog tie you and drag you across.

I ain't takin' another step, old man.

Now, get!

Oh!

Give me that!

Welcome back to Blue Ridge.

Don't get too comfortable.

You're not gonna be staying long.

Deputies. Arrest him.

With pleasure.

I'll be back, Sheriff.

Got a few more for you.

Jail's gonna be full tonight, boys.

- Hey, Maddie. - Hey.

- Sheriff. - Need some help?

No, I think we've got it handled.

Listen, why don't you two go check out this barn.

There's going to be a lot of work needing to be done around here.

- Yes, sir. - Okay. Come on.

You given a lot of horses a new lease on life.

I think Barb would be proud.

Yes, sir.

She just might be.
