JUSTIN: [SIGH]
[WHISPERING TO SELF]
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.
[BLADE AND MADDIE CHATTERING]
- Hey, sweetie.
- MADDIE: Hey.
BLADE: 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'.
JUSTIN: Hey, buckle up.
Have a good one.
[CAR STARTS]

[BRAKES SQUEAK]
JUSTIN: SO
Blade's a nice boy.
- MADDIE: Yeah.
- JUSTIN: 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?
- MADDIE: 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.
[LAUGHS]
- You're in a good mood.
- JUSTIN: Yeah.
Not even Jeremiah Wade's gonna
take away from my
day off tomorrow.
Silence, fishing
relaxation.
Sounds exciting.
Good talk.
[CHATTERING NEARBY]
GAGE: 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!!
[LAUGHTER]
You remember that?!
- Yeah.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
- JUSTIN: Hey Maxx, what's up?
- MAXX (ON PHONE): Hey, Sheriff.
There's a disturbance out
at the Whispering Pines.
JUSTIN: You're kiddin' me.
MAXX (ON PHONE): Thought
you might be close.
JUSTIN: I'm on my way.
[MEN CHATTER, LAUGH]
Stay inside.
I'll be right back.
[TENSE] ♪
[LOUD LAUGHTER]
GAGE: 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?
MILES: [CHUCKLING] 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.

[NO AUDIO]

Alright, let's blow this joint.
[CRASH]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES, RINGS]
[TENSE] ♪
[HEAVY SIGH]
You gotta be kiddin' me.
Nice job, Dale Jr.
For future reference,
brake's on the left
the gas is on the right.
GAGE: 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.
MILES: Whew.
Hey.
Ma'am.

RP: It's right there.
It's pretty cool having
a famous band in town.
Not as cool once you meet 'em.
[LAUGHS] 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.
CONNOR: 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.
- JEREMIAH: Hey
fellas.
Hey.
Howdy.
You mind if we talk for a bit?
Uh, sure, yes.
Yeah, okay.
I'll be inside waiting.
JEREMIAH: 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.

[PHONE RINGS]
[SIGH]
This better be good.
- RP: 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.
JUSTIN (ON PHONE): 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.

JUSTIN: 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.
[CHUCKLING]
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.
JUSTIN: 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
JUSTIN: 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.
ROB: 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.
RP: 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.
[PHONE VIBRATES]
Sheriff Wise.
What paper?
Attempted murder?
No comment.
The Charlotte Times,
Richmond Register
and The Knoxville News Argus
- DWAYNE: Knock, knock.
Hello?
- MAXX: 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.
JUSTIN: Huh.
Blue Ridge is headline news.
Like I said, this is big time.
[PHONE RINGING]
[SIGHS]
JUSTIN: Unbelievable.
During an active investigation
the last thing I need
is a bunch of yahoos
sharing my information.
And exaggerating it to boot.
- MILES: 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.
[CHUCKLE]
- RP: 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.
[CAR STARTS]
ELLI: Here you go.
Everybody happy?
Okay.
Hey.
- JUSTIN: Hey.

[CLEARS THROAT]
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?
REBEKAH: 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?
[LAUGHS]
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.
BLADE: Mr. Wise?
Uh, Mrs. Wise said I could
hand these out already.
- Thanks, Blade.
MADDIE: They're
for the concert.
BLADE: 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.
- [LAUGHS]
- But I don't do dishes.
So, there's that.
- There's that, yeah.
- There's that.
GAGE: This isn't
what we ordered.
ELLI: 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?
[LAUGHING]
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.
[SUSPENSE] ♪
ELLI: 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.
JEREMIAH: 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

[PHONE RINGS]
RP: 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.

RP: No sign of the trailer.
JUSTIN: 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?
JUSTIN: 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.
- JUSTIN: 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
[GIGGLES]
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!
[LAUGHS] It was
the perfect crime!
A perfect crime?
You're an idiot.
Do you even know
what is in there?

BOOSTER: Oh.
I bet those belong to the band.
You think?
Get 'em back to 'em now.
And don't get caught.
Big break, ah
MAXX: Here's some.
Sources say that the local
sheriff was out fishing
when the brazen
crime took place
[SCOFF] 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.
[PHONE RINGS]
RP: Blue Ridge
Sheriff department.
Yeah, this is uh
this is a regular
concerned citizen with
with a tip
Yeah, yeah.

[JIGGLING LOCKED DOOR]
Sheriff
Do you have any clue
what's going on here?
Absolutely none.

[TUNING GUITAR]
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.
- CONNOR: 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.

MAXX: So the instruments being stolen
isn't connected to the threat or the bus?
JUSTIN: Nope
The whole thing
seems strange, right?
And it's like the
band doesn't care.
So, maybe they don't care.

MAXX: That's a McGrath truck.
JUSTIN: Whoa, whoa, whoa
I thought this was going
to Jeremiah Wade's place.
GAGE: 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.
[GAGE SCOFFS]
Whatever.
Figured when in a
slum like Blue Ridge
might as well go slummin'.
JUSTIN: 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.

[TAPS ON TRUCK]
[TRUCK ENGINE STARTS]
MAXX: 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.
[TRUCK ENGINE]



[CHUCKLES]
[TIRES SQUEAL]

[GAGE SHOUTS] 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!
[FIGHTING]
Gonna take from me?
- Get off my man!
[COCKS RIFLE]
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.

[LAUGHING LOUDLY]
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.

JUSTIN: Miles, I
figured it out.
Yeah?
You
sabotaged the bus.
[MILES LAUGHS]
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?
MILES: 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?
MILES: 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.

JEREMIAH: 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

Well, that's not gonna be good.

I know dark clouds ♪
will gather round me ♪
I know my way ♪
is hard and steep ♪
Yeah, dig it. I'll
bring back another one.
I got mine over in the truck so-
Oh I'm sorry.
My bad, big fella.
Idiot! [HEAD HITS BAR]
JUSTIN: Stop it!
That is enough!
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.
JUSTIN: 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.

[FIGHTING]
[COUGHING]
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.
[FIGHTING]
[GROANING]
You having fun yet?
[FIGHTING]

[FIGHTING]

[FIGHTING]

You want a ride home
or you want to walk?
[GAGE GROANS]


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.
