Blue Ridge.

Evenin' Sheriff.

How goes the servin' and protectin'?

It goes.

Your lovely daughter who clearly takes after her mother

should be out any second.

She's sayin' goodbye to my boy.

Ah...

They make a cute couple.

- Hey, sweetie. -Hey.

Hey, Mr. Wise.

I just wanted to say thank you for letting Maddie come over.

Sure thing, buddy.

Thanks again for dinner, Mr. Wade.

Any time, darlin'.

Hey, buckle up.

Have a good one.

SO...

Blade's a nice boy. -Yeah.

-Yeah. - He is.

But boys his age, you know...

Don't worry, dad.

Mom and I had that talk already, so it's...

Okay.

So, what'd you have to eat?

Uh, Mr. Wade grilled out.

He's a really good cook.

- Oh yeah? -What about you?

What'd you eat?

No, no, let me guess.

I'm gonna say whatever the special was at mom's diner.

No one likes a smart aleck.

It's not a smart aleck nobody likes, it's a know-it-all.

Nobody likes a know-it-all.

- You're in a good mood. -Yeah.

Not even Jeremiah Wade's gonna

take away from my day off tomorrow.

Silence, fishing...

relaxation.

Sounds exciting.

Good talk.

You remember 2019

Alabama, the Briggs, all right.

You're finishing us out, the crowd's going crazy.

This wild man took a swig of your beer.

And then, bam!!

You remember that?! - Yeah.

-Hey Maxx, what's up? -Hey, Sheriff.

There's a disturbance out at the Whispering Pines.

You're kiddin' me.

Thought you might be close.

I'm on my way.

Stay inside.

I'll be right back.

It was awesome.

You fellas have something against recycling?

Just having a little bit of fun.

You got a problem with that?

Actually, I do.

I'm not just the fun police,

I'm the police, police.

So, I'm gonna need you guys to clean up this mess.

No, thanks.

I don't think we're gonna oblige, Barney Fife.

You know, you're just like every other glorified

politician, small town sheriff we've run into.

You act a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier

because you're walking around with a badge.

I love to run into you guys as soon as you leave your county.

Is that so?

Hey there.

I'm the manager, Miles, sorry Sheriff.

The boys are just letting off a little steam between gigs.

We'll clean up the mess and keep it down.

We're headed out of town first thing in the morning.

The sooner the better.

Alright, let's blow this joint.

You gotta be kiddin' me.

Nice job, Dale Jr.

For future reference, brake's on the left

the gas is on the right.

Funny.

The air brakes weren't workin' from the start.

Alright? - I've been on the band's

promoter to upgrade the tour bus for months.

I knew something like this would happen.

Maybe now they'll listen.

Well, we're gonna have to get it towed to our mechanic.

But, you should know if it needs some parts

it's gonna take a day or so.

Well, I guess

we'll be seeing each other around then.

I have the day off.

We better not.

Whew.

Hey.

Ma'am.

It's right there.

It's pretty cool having a famous band in town.

Not as cool once you meet 'em.

Well, Cold Lead does have a big reputation for partying.

Yeah, and for getting in a lot of trouble.

Well, if that's the case you stay with 'em.

Keep an eye on 'em alright?

What do you think, some of the locals are gonna mess with 'em?

No, I think the other way around.

The band's got their reputation, but,

the roadies have the scars.

Well, we do have availability.

So uh, we can get you checked back in if you want.

I appreciate that.

Bus might take a couple of days to get repaired, so.

- Okay, well sure enough. -Hey...

fellas.

Hey.

Howdy.

You mind if we talk for a bit?

Uh, sure, yes.

Yeah, okay.

I'll be inside waiting.

I heard about your trouble.

You did?

Yeah.

Bad news travels fast

in Blue Ridge.

I'm Jeremiah Wade.

I'm gonna make you an offer.

I happen to own the only bar here in town.

Now it ain't big but it's got a stage.

Folks around here, they'd pay a premium

to see the band Cold Lead

in such an intimate venue, you know.

Wouldn't have to play very long.

Because the very talented house band would open for you.

Jeremiah and the Chain Gang.

I suppose you've heard of us?

- Nope. - Hmm.

Well, after tomorrow you won't be able to forget us.

You'll get the gate; we'll just take the alcohol.

Hmm.

Ah, what the heck.

We're gonna be stuck here, might as well make some cash

to pay for the repairs.

Give me a contract.

No.

Contract's for people what their handshake ain't no good.

Now my handshake...

is my bond.

This better be good. -Ah, sorry.

Look, I'm not sure if this qualifies as an emergency but

since it could be high-profile,

I figured I'd just let you decide.

Go ahead.

I just got a call from the mechanic.

And apparently this bus accident

wasn't really an accident.

He's positive somebody messed with the brakes

so the bus would crash on purpose.

You aware of anyone that might

want to hurt the band?

Any threats? - Not really.

Well, you guys have a pretty bad reputation.

It's-- it's just that.

A reputation, the boys like to play it up for their image.

Like Johnny Cash singing about Folsom Prison

when he never went there.

Well, what about your roadie?

Gage?

Does he live up to it?

Well, yeah-- yeah he does.

But we need somebody like him to protect the band.

He looks out for everybody;

sleeps on the bus to keep an eye on the instruments.

Did he hear anything last night?

No.

He must be a sound sleeper.

Especially when he's passed out.

Well, you should lay low.

Looks like someone's trying to hurt you.

I'm afraid they're gonna try again.

The deputy's gonna interview all the motel guests.

See if they heard or saw anything suspicious.

That reminds me...

Go ahead.

Gage got into it with another guest last night

just before you showed up.

I guess the guy took a swing at him.

And what happened then?

People who pick a fight with Gage don't typically

have a good night.

Listen man, I went over

with my girlfriend Tina to take

a picture with the band.

Before we even got there that dude started mouthing off.

Told her to ditch the loser, come party with us.

You swing at him first?

Only after he called her a pig.

And other worse things.

I took one swing at him, that was it.

But it's like he was waiting for it.

Because he blocked it, and then

he smiled really wide and said "free licks."

And then, went all roadhouse on me.

He wouldn't stop until his manager stopped him.

Sheriff Wise.

What paper?

Attempted murder?

No comment.

The Charlotte Times, Richmond Register

and The Knoxville News Argus... -Knock, knock.

Hello? -The phone just keeps ringing.

Oh man, Sheriff...

Cold Lead is big time.

I saw them last year at the Civic Center for the first time.

Dude, they were on fire.

This is some big news.

I don't understand why you're here.

Well, I want to help if I can.

I don't understand how the press got ahold of this so quickly.

This is why.

The way they described it you'd think it rolled a few times

before going off the cliff.

Huh.

Blue Ridge is headline news.

Like I said, this is big time.

Unbelievable.

During an active investigation

the last thing I need is a bunch of yahoos

sharing my information.

And exaggerating it to boot. -Listen...

somebody posted something, our publicist ran with it.

Didn't hurt that you leaned into the angle that

someone was after you did it?

While we're stuck here

we're losing money.

In addition to bus repairs

we've got extra hotel nights,

shows we're missing in Nashville.

The money we make in our gig here in Blue Ridge

will hardly begin to cover the costs.

What gig?

Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me.

-Jeremiah

and the Chain Gang.

If you didn't know any better you'd think

they were co-headlining.

The band gets stranded in Blue Ridge

and an hour later Jeremiah Wade's got him signed

to play at his bar.

It's mighty coincidental.

Don't you think? - Yeah.

May be hard to prove though.

Not yet.

My money's on Jeremiah.

Here you go.

Everybody happy?

Okay.

Hey. -Hey.

Nice weather.

Yeah.

Hey, heck of a game, huh?

I can't believe the Bulldogs pulled it out in over time.

I was recording that for later.

Sorry, sorry.

My bad.

- Excuse me. - Yeah.

- Hi. - Hi.

- I'm Justin. - Rebekah.

- May I? - Of course, yes.

Thank you.

So, I've been investigating

what happened to the bus.

Do you know anyone that would want to hurt the band?

No, um.

But I'm not officially with the band;

I just tour with them.

Well no offense, but why would you want

to be with those knuckleheads?

Well, I studied violin at Juilliard.

My plan was to be a concert violinist.

Ended up following this guy to Nashville.

There's way more opportunity for fiddle than the violin.

So...

I've been traveling with the band for the last year.

It gets kind of lonely on the road.

And how does your boyfriend feel about all the travel?

I don't know.

You'll have to ask his new girlfriend.

So... was it a mistake?

Following him?

I don't know, the jury's still out.

Mr. Wise?

Uh, Mrs. Wise said I could

hand these out already. - Thanks, Blade.

They're for the concert.

Thank you.

So, Mrs. Wise?

I assume that's your wife.

Ms. Wise, my ex-wife.

And that's-- that's my daughter.

Maddie.

My ex-wife, she cooks more for me now than

she did when we were married.

But I have to pay for it.

- But I don't do dishes.

So, there's that.

- There's that, yeah. - There's that.

This isn't what we ordered.

That's okay, sir, we'll take care of it.

What happen, some moron back there screw it up?

Sir, we'll fix it.

Who messed it up?

Sir, you need to calm down, okay?

I am calm.

Oh, good,

let's make sure this is right.

Here's your correct order.

Sorry for the confusion.

I said who did it?!

You know what?

Take your order and get out.

Law dog.

Why don't you sit down and shut up?

Leave.

And if I don't?

I'll make you.

And I'll teach you some manners to boot.

Everyone's a tough guy with a badge on.

Justin.

You can't threaten every customer that's rude to me.

Sorry, I was just trying to protect you.

Well, we're not married so it's not your job anymore.

Duly noted.

It was great to see someone stick up to that jerk.

Thanks.

It was nice meeting you.

I'm gonna come here tomorrow for lunch

if you want to join me and keep chattin'.

Just be nice to talk to someone other than the band.

Well, I...

have plans in the morning but

lunch sounds good.

Great, it's a date.

Well, I believe some congrats are in order, Mr. Wade.

Your concert is the talk of Blue Ridge.

Well...

I thank ya.

You know, I was a little worried

that my band might overshadow the main act.

Of course, that's a chance they gotta take, right?

I guess so.

Well, I only came by as a courtesy.

I wanted to let you know

that you're about to have some competition.

Really?

Yeah...

I'm reopening the Water Wheel down the street.

And I'm fairly confident the town council will

approve my liquor and business license.

Since they already have.

Hmm.

Bar business is a lot harder

than most people think, you know.

You can ask the last guy who tried to open up down there.

I did.

I did indeed.

He said you strongly encouraged him to pack it in.

You know, just giving friendly advice.

Same as I'm doing you right now.

Well, I appreciate your concern.

But I will be giving it a go.

Alright.

No problem.

My clientele is very loyal.

Yes sir.

Of course every customer's loyal...

until you give them the chance to start...

weighing their options.

Anyway...

You have a good day now neighbor.

Better option...

Sheriff, I'm sorry to bother you again.

But, you're not gonna believe this.

It's all gone.

The instruments disappeared.

Unbelievable.

I can't believe this.

Gage normally sleeps on the bus so he can guard the trailer

where we keep all of our instruments, amps, speakers...

The bus is in the shop so we just chained it to the back

of the motel... and now this...

- What's the value? - Counting the trailer, 100K!

The drum kit alone is worth $40,000.

It's a vintage Slingerland that Buddy Rich used to own.

But...

The trailer has a hidden GPS tracker attached to it...

I can see exactly where it is.

You know where this is?

Oh yeah.

No sign of the trailer.

It must be in the garage.

Gentlemen.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Have at it.

Looks like whoever stole the instruments

was trying to set you up.

Wow.

I wonder who would do something like that?

Hey.

Hey buddy, is your dad home?

Yeah.

He's out back.

Thanks.

Tell Maddie I said hi.

...Please?

Alright, Jeremiah...

First you sabotage the bus.

Then you swindle them into playing at your bar.

Then, you steal their instruments.

Why would I steal their instruments when

they're playing at my bar tonight?

For one, because you'll make more pawning them off

than you'll make at the show. -Yeah.

You could have them rent your instruments

and you double dip.

Well, for the drummer being a diva who won't play

nothing but his own kit.

You wouldn't have known that at the time.

Sheriff, that dog just won't hunt.

You need to talk to Connor.

You know, he's opening a rival bar up the street.

This concert will make my bar the talk of the town

and he don't want that to happen.

Alright... maybe you didn't steal the instruments

but you definitely sabotaged the bus.

I had nothing to do with the bus.

I'm a businessman, so I took advantage of a situation...

And you know what...

I'm getting tired of you accusing my family

every time there's a crime here in Blue Ridge!

I've had about enough of that.

I can't believe I'm about to say this but...

I believe him.

Yeah, me too.

So if Jeremiah didn't sabotage the brakes

to keep the band in town, that means

that somebody actually tried to crash the bus.

Which means we have to keep investigating.

We need to find those instruments.

What are you smilin' about?

You remember how you're always telling me to

take initiative Uncle Jeremiah?

Yes...

So I was just driving by and BAM...

There it was sitting behind McGrath's motel...

Reckon it's bad for business when his guest's stuff gets stolen...

So I figured I'd get him back for opening a bar.

I even thought to check for a GPS which I stuck to his car!

It was the perfect crime!

A perfect crime?

You're an idiot.

Do you even know what is in there?

Oh.

I bet those belong to the band.

You think?

Get 'em back to 'em now.

And don't get caught.

Big break, ah...

Here's some.

Sources say that the local sheriff was out fishing

when the brazen crime took place...

What sources?

Wasn't me.

You need to make a detailed list of all of the instruments

and then you reach out to all the pawn shops

in the surrounding areas.

If you find the instruments we may figure out

who sabotaged the bus.

Alright...

Got the Fender, Gibson...

Morton, Taylor...

Ibinez in there.

Blue Ridge Sheriff department.

Yeah, this is uh...

this is a regular concerned citizen with...

with a tip...

Yeah, yeah.

Sheriff...

Do you have any clue what's going on here?

Absolutely none.

Well, howdy.

Howdy.

You hear about Cold Lead's losin' their equipment

and then miraculously getting it back?

Yeah, I did.

For some strange reason Sheriff Wise thought

I had something to do with that.

Hmph.

Go figure, yeah. -Go figure.

Well, at least I'm glad they got it back

so they can play tonight.

Me too.

Especially since they won't be playing here.

You see, I

talked their Manager into playing the pre-pre

grand opening of the Water Wheel...

I mean... it's nowhere near ready... but

when am I ever going to have the opportunity

to book a band like that in my bar ever again?

We had a handshake deal.

Which was probably voided

when their instruments were stolen and

the show was cancelled.

But was most definitely voided when I was blamed

And their instruments found on my land.

That said...

I wouldn't want you to be sitting here

all by your lonesome so...

You should come neighbor...

But don't be late Jeremiah...

because...

I'm sure you've figured out by now...

there is no opening act.

Booster!

- Yes sir. - Steal that trailer back... now.

So the instruments being stolen isn't connected to the threat or the bus?

Nope...

The whole thing seems strange, right?

And it's like the band doesn't care.

So, maybe they don't care.

That's a McGrath truck.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

I thought this was going to Jeremiah Wade's place.

Not anymore.

Playing for some McGrath guy now.

Why don't I put you on the guest list, sweetheart?

Show you a real good time.

Thanks, but I'm busy.

Got to wash my hair.

Whatever.

Figured when in a slum like Blue Ridge

might as well go slummin'.

Why don't you just

shut that mouth of yours?

Easy cowboy.

She ain't my type anyway.

But you know who is?

That little hottie from the diner.

Why don't I bring her and

remind her what it's like to be with a real man.

Bus is fixed.

I suggest you get on it and leave in the morning.

And if you ever run into me outside this county...

you're gonna regret it.

Well...

you know, that ain't the small town

Southern hospitality I keep hearing about.

Good job not knocking him out.

Although I for one would have really enjoyed it.

I think we're gonna need to go to the concert,

make sure everything is okay.

Hypothetical question. - Hmm?

So, if a woman asks you to lunch and you accept it...

and afterward she says,

"It's a date,"

is it a "date date"

or is that just an expression?

You know Sheriff, I can't say for certain.

But my guess...

is that you're going on a date.

That's what I thought.

Get your truck up here.

Let's get after him.

Go!

Yeah, let's go. Let's go! Come on.

Hey! Come here you little-

Come here!

Gonna take from me? - Get off my man!

Now, I told

that manager that my handshake was my bond.

I assume his is the same.

Now that band, Cold Lead, will play here tomorrow.

You tell McGrath

if he got a problem with that...

come see me and my own self.

Clear?

Yeah.

Git!

You seem...

pretty shy...

nervous?

Both.

I don't think I've gone on a date since my marriage ended.

I mean, I like doing something different but...

But... you're still not sure if you're ready.

Yeah.

Like you, I followed someone here.

And I may be naive, since she's got a boyfriend but...

I'm not ready to give up on her yet.

What are you doing?

I'm reminding her what she let get away.

Are you coming to Jeremiah's tonight?

It's back at Jeremiah's?

Yep. I mean, it's been a bit of a crazy week.

But it's been a bit of a blessing.

I mean, that place that we play in Nashville,

we've been playing too much lately

and our ticket sales have been really low.

Probably would have lost money but

now that it's been rescheduled and we've had

all this press around the threats...

we've added multiple nights and we are sold out.

Truthfully,

being stuck here...

has been the best thing that ever happened to us.

Miles, I figured it out.

Yeah?

You

sabotaged the bus.

Oh, wait a minute. I don't know what you're talking about.

You wanted the promoter to buy you a new bus.

You didn't want to get to Nashville on time

because you wanted that concert to get cancelled because

you've been playing that venue way too much.

Ticket sales are way down.

Right?

Okay, okay...

You're right. I just made it so the brakes wouldn't work.

I figured Gage would notice right away

even before we pulled out but... he didn't.

Listen, I had no intention

of getting the police involved.

Once the PR team got a hold to it,

they just ran with it.

What about your instruments?

I have no idea

what's going on... I promise.

You going to arrest me?

No.

I heard you got yourself right smack dab

in the middle of Wade/McGrath feud.

That's punishment enough.

Ha. Enjoy the show.

Are you sure you don't want to go tonight?

Bluegrass? No thank you.

Just drop me off at the diner?

You don't know what you're missing.

What?

Maddie?

What is it?

Dad...

that lady I saw you with today...

I thought you came here for mom.

I came here for the both of you.

But you don't always get what you want.

I love you.

Love you too.

Like I said...

my handshake and my word is my bond.

So, I'll honor our deal.

You get the gate.

Deal?

Whatever...

Just want our instruments back

so we can get out of here.

So, this is my special peach cobbler shine

ladies and gentlemen.

Drink up! Drink up.

Let's get out of here.

YOLO.

I'd love to but...

but I think I'm-

think I'm going to have to pass.

I understand.

I hope that everything works out for you.

Whoa!

How you all doing?

Playing exclusively here at my place...

ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Cold Lead.

Nah, nah. You you-

wouldn't believe me if I told you but-

don't start; I'm not staying.

I'll call ya from the road.

Come on, you might as well stay and enjoy the show.

Not a chance.

I- underestimated you...

but I want you to know that I won't be

making that mistake again.

Ever.

Well, that's not gonna be good.

That's it. Let's go.

Ain't the first time I've been arrested

and definitely won't be the last.

Isn't the station back in that direction?

That's not where we're going.

Typical small town sheriff.

Throw a beatin' when I can't fight back.

We just passed the sign for Blue Ridge.

The next county is past that tree line.

This is no man's land.

I'm just a citizen.

This isn't police business...

This...

is personal.

This is gonna be fun.

Don't count on it.

In all my years in the service

and on the job...

there's one thing

I hate more than anything. - What's that?

A bully.

You having fun yet?

You want a ride home or you want to walk?

You should see the other guy.

That expression is meant to be used ironically.

Just like old times, huh?

Yeah except I thought I was done with this.

I'm sorry. That guy just needed to be put in his place.

Who?

The roadie. The guy from earlier.

Justin, I told you I don't need you to defend me.

You're the mother of my daughter.

You're my best friend.

I am always going to defend you,

no matter what.

Just got to live with that.

And it wasn't just because of what happened here.

You mean that woman

that you appeared to be on a date with?

In my diner of all places?

No.

He's just a bully who needed to be

taught a lesson.

Fair enough.

I got a bunch of dishes to do. - I'll help.

- Yeah? - Yeah. I can't wait

to get back to work 'cause

I need to relax.
