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

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.

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

This better be good.

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.

Attempted murder?
No comment.

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.

Yeah.
Hey, heck of a game, huh?

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.

My ex-wife, she cooks
more for me now than
she did when we were married.

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

Why don't you sit

stick up to that jerk.

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

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

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.

friendly advice.
Same as I'm doing you right now.

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.

The trailer has a hidden GPS
tracker attached to it

Wow.

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

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

voided when I was blamed

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.
