let's think about this for a minute
no one Charlie no man's right you just
be making another big mistake what ain't
so much room my old man this is who I am
you see that look there huh I see Karimi
we done may reserve deputies so all
partners
hey son you're gonna go fishing with me
follow father here listen mr. Warren I'm
really sorry to disturb you on your day
off but you got to help me what's the
matter
everything is screwed up mr. wand
I don't know I'm crazier they're crazy I
don't know anymore wait you want me to
help you you're gonna have to slow down
what's the matter I don't understand I
mean we torture confessions out of
prisoners we're out on 91 busting
innocent people even the guilty ones we
get most of the arrests are illegal I
mean people get out of jail because the
friends are the sheriff who's in charge
of the department clay you know mr.
Warren of course not well then you
listen hey in law enforcement sometimes
the decisions are not always that simple
sometimes you've got to break eggs if
you're gonna make an omelet mr. Warren
not at all I mean I love my job
but what is Randy doing with a badge
this room is all around this county
human Terry Snyder dealing drugs rumors
rumors you got any proof no well what
about right and wrong look I'll be
honest with you I don't always approve
everything the sheriff does myself and
this business out on ninety one I don't
like that any more than you do but every
Election Day the folks in this county
have a chance to tell the sheriff
whether or not they approve of what he's
doing now if everybody else is happy
with things the way they are and why
fight it
huh you're just gonna give yourself a
lot of grief you're not gonna change a
damn thing oh it's right about that
I know come on out here there's a
catfish out there but that bigs got my
name you gonna join me
no I can't I best get on back to work
I got your weight to my son you worry
too much
so why didn't he just quit I almost did
but I couldn't I love my job I was
getting good at it made me feel good
driving around the county in my uniform
and in my patrol car and people respect
you yeah that's part of it but it's more
than that Evans I was doing something
for the community I grew up in and what
my parents and grandparents grew up to
so I got to thinking Mr Wong was right
nobody else is upset so why should I be
but you were upset I just couldn't let
it go
okay watch now what's going on not much
I've got a possession of the illegal
substance here so all right this has
gone too far I demand to see the sheriff
I want to file a complaint against this
officer what happened

want to call my attorney you better tell
them we don't look too kindly on people

deputy clay Nelson yes sir I am
I'm Special Agent Dunn this is Terrell
go over there's Donnelly FC now for
pete's sake I told you they had to be on
the third base line I will call someone
else just trying to get us tickets for
tonight's game
your baseball fan clay no not really
just a little bit we're looking into
allegations about the Sheriff's
Department and want to know if you have
anything you'd like to tell us strictly
off the record of course I'll hold off
from that he's got four it's a way up
high take him take him for instance have
you heard anything about sheriff Barton
being involved in torturing prisoners
Rick's glad you can join us this is
deputy Nelson yeah I think we met a few
months back how are you buddy
so how about it clay got anything you
want to tell us
No
I've got nothing to say to y'all you
sure about that
yeah yeah I'm sure
I guess you're free to go
we'll keep in touch
[Music]
I want some answers
you do for a long time I've been looking
the other way and pretend that nothing's
going what you tell the FBI not a damn
thing
look I protected you and now you're
gonna tell me there was twenty five
thousand dollars worth of evidence in
that Property Room some of it I risk my
life to get and I want to know where the
hell it is
too many people had access to that room
so I moved to the safe place including
two truckloads of marijuana is that in a
safe place - that's correct
no there's a time I would have believed
you but not now Jesse you said mighty
close to the fire
ain't you deputy you may be able to run
this County like your own private
Kingdom and nobody gives a damn but
there's nothing says I got to be a part
of it
nothing
[Music]
so which do for job join the police
force holding rock water how'd that work
out not so bad
nice people but I missed home for a few
months I began thinking like I did the
wrong thing believing Kate County at
home rash of robberies and burglaries
and vandalism
how do you explain that combination of
naming the sheriff was so busy freaking
him off 91 he didn't have time for law
enforcement I began feeling guilty like
I'd run away from my people I was
thinking a lot about Laura - so you
asked Jesse for your job back no I
wasn't ready for that so what happened
let her hear after I quit my mom's
cousin passed away and I came back to
cable for the funeral you know it's nice
to be home and everything and see my
kinfolk again I sure wasn't expecting to
see Jesse though the crime wave was
really getting bad as a matter of fact
it was the first time I ever saw Jesse
worried he'd beat around the bush then
he finally got to the point he said I
was one hell of a deputy and then he
needed me back tried to butter me up
real good but I just couldn't forget
fast you and I don't see exactly eye to
eye on most things I'm confused
remember it's not just me play the town
council wants you back people are asking
for you really
nope play don't turn your back on then
but did decide to come back and I'm not
saying that I'm gonna I'd have nothing
to do with Lester or Terry Snyder or
Randy either you'll be on your own I'll
make you special investigator we got a
deal I'll think about it
I'll let Jesse sweat it out a day or two
then I called him and said yes I quit my
job in rock water found this big place
outside of town like a loop sheet
because they need a caretaker and a week
later I was back on the force
[Music]
wait haven't had a chance to tell you
it's good to have you back it's good to
be back
everything going okay yeah it's not so
bad want to come over to the house
Sunday watch the ball game Helen's been
asking about Sunday felt real bad but I
couldn't pretend that things were the
same between me and mr. Warren I just
tried to concentrate on doing my job and
my very first assignment was to
investigate a bunch of burglaries that
are reported out by the lake
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
gonna have to wait or could write me a
personal check if you got the proper ID
see you're moving up in the world mr.
Bambang you know what beats the hell out
of the old job mr. Deveny
I wonder where her BAM one is going now
I do jail faithful and he's got a nice
tight roll
there's nice the old place had a certain
charm hey yeah Johnson is it would you
book him for me grand theft auto and
burglary
there's no room clay we're all full up
Saturday night man he's not a jaywalker
he's an escaped convict damn it
sorry play and fly it down a few hours
then maybe we can squeeze him in I can't
believe this no problem I just go to a
movie or something
take it up with Randy if you want he's
senior officer tonight what sheriff is
he's around here somewhere
enjoy the show creep you know you want
me to call the sheriff I need to talk to
you
what's this I hear you caught all Conway
the act again I need to talk to you yeah
so I can't properly interrogate a
prisoner with this three-ring circus
going on hell I can't even get him
booked hey he's my prisoner
y'all prisoner I'm still running this
department and like I said our handling
you better go on duck
put it right on yourself you're on man
the next couple of months things just
went from bad to worse I was feeling
more and more alone to make things worse
I heard that Laura moved in with Randy
Barton
I couldn't sleep anyway so I volunteered
for night
[Music]
it's working late I heard shots anybody
hurt I don't know I just got here myself
anybody hurt
no okay what happened I mean tears don't
patrol here just long gone
got appearance to guys come flying out
of this busted window here yeah they had
a bag with him I think he got a bunch of
drugs from inside we yelled at him and
they started shooting at us
well just see their faces you get a good
look out hello son he's a little too
busy dodging bullets we shot at him any
hightail around back in the chase yeah
but it's pitch black back there you
can't see nothing we got to go to
Foley's trailer park fast out some of
them migrants they would get a lead on
this hey you know that's a good idea
there's always a bunch ex-cons hanging
right there anyway let's do it Terry
yeah I'm gonna get mr. Blanton a call
have them come down here
[Applause]
well what do you think I think they're
lying why is that well first off
anything involving Randy Barton with
drugs it smells funny to me and secondly
take a look at this they said it was
pitch dark in this alley and the only
way that's true is if you close your
eyes I guess I shouldn't be surprised
but I hope you're wrong no way I got him
this time what's this it's my robbery
report from last night I think y'all
look at it now Jim
just because of that girl no it's not
because of that girl it's good police
work is what it is I was out on that
side all morning Claire listen even if
you were right you don't stand a chance
I got the new indictment against two
deputies you got no proof sure I got
proof look at this I mean they jimmied
open the door they took the drugs out
they came back set the alarm far they
forget about it
the sheriff will take care of it alright
what is with you Jim

just scared I'm gonna try and forget you
said that you ought to be ashamed
[Music]
and Laura would you let me in for oh

important Laura come on quit it listen
Laura you may not care no more about me

to keep him off guard until he had
something solid on him how about that
rinky-dink operation of the post office

which is the way it turned out
satisfied yeah I guess so

matter
everything is screwed up mr. wand
I don't know I'm crazier they're crazy I
don't know anymore wait you want me to
help you you're gonna have to slow down
what's the matter I don't understand I
mean we torture confessions out of
prisoners we're out on 91 busting
innocent people even the guilty ones we
get most of the arrests are illegal I
mean people get out of jail because the
friends are the sheriff who's in charge
of the department clay you know mr.
Warren of course not well then you
listen hey in law enforcement sometimes
the decisions are not always that simple
sometimes you've got to break eggs if
you're gonna make an omelet mr. Warren
not at all I mean I love my job
but what is Randy doing with a badge
this room is all around this county
human Terry Snyder dealing drugs rumors
rumors you got any proof no well what
about right and wrong look I'll be
honest with you I don't always approve
everything the sheriff does myself and
this business out on ninety one I don't
like that any more than you do but every
Election Day the folks in this county
have a chance to tell the sheriff
whether or not they approve of what he's
doing now if everybody else is happy
with things the way they are and why
fight it
huh you're just gonna give yourself a
lot of grief you're not gonna change a
damn thing oh it's right about that
I know come on out here there's a
catfish out there but that bigs got my
name you gonna join me
no I can't I best get on back to work
I got your weight to my son you worry
too much
so why didn't he just quit I almost did
but I couldn't I love my job I was
getting good at it made me feel good
driving around the county in my uniform
and in my patrol car and people respect
you yeah that's part of it but it's more
than that Evans I was doing something
for the community I grew up in and what
my parents and grandparents grew up to
so I got to thinking Mr Wong was right
nobody else is upset so why should I be
but you were upset I just couldn't let
it go

substance here so all right this has

just a little bit we're looking into
allegations about the Sheriff's
Department and want to know if you have
anything you'd like to tell us strictly
off the record of course I'll hold off
from that he's got four it's a way up
high take him take him for instance have
you heard anything about sheriff Barton
being involved in torturing prisoners
Rick's glad you can join us this is
deputy Nelson yeah I think we met a few
months back how are you buddy
so how about it clay got anything you
want to tell us
No
I've got nothing to say to y'all you
sure about that
yeah yeah I'm sure
I guess you're free to go
we'll keep in touch
[Music]
I want some answers
you do for a long time I've been looking
the other way and pretend that nothing's
going what you tell the FBI not a damn
thing
look I protected you and now you're
gonna tell me there was twenty five
thousand dollars worth of evidence in
that Property Room some of it I risk my
life to get and I want to know where the
hell it is
too many people had access to that room
so I moved to the safe place including
two truckloads of marijuana is that in a
safe place - that's correct
no there's a time I would have believed
you but not now Jesse you said mighty
close to the fire
ain't you deputy you may be able to run
this County like your own private
Kingdom and nobody gives a damn but
there's nothing says I got to be a part
of it
nothing
[Music]
so which do for job join the police
force holding rock water how'd that work
out not so bad
nice people but I missed home for a few
months I began thinking like I did the
wrong thing believing Kate County at
home rash of robberies and burglaries
and vandalism
how do you explain that combination of
naming the sheriff was so busy freaking
him off 91 he didn't have time for law
enforcement I began feeling guilty like
I'd run away from my people I was
thinking a lot about Laura - so you
asked Jesse for your job back no I
wasn't ready for that so what happened
let her hear after I quit my mom's
cousin passed away and I came back to
cable for the funeral you know it's nice
to be home and everything and see my
kinfolk again I sure wasn't expecting to
see Jesse though the crime wave was
really getting bad as a matter of fact
it was the first time I ever saw Jesse
worried he'd beat around the bush then
he finally got to the point he said I
was one hell of a deputy and then he
needed me back tried to butter me up
real good but I just couldn't forget
fast you and I don't see exactly eye to
eye on most things I'm confused
remember it's not just me play the town
council wants you back people are asking
for you really
nope play don't turn your back on then
but did decide to come back and I'm not
saying that I'm gonna I'd have nothing
to do with Lester or Terry Snyder or
Randy either you'll be on your own I'll
make you special investigator we got a
deal I'll think about it
I'll let Jesse sweat it out a day or two
then I called him and said yes I quit my
job in rock water found this big place
outside of town like a loop sheet
because they need a caretaker and a week
later I was back on the force
[Music]
wait haven't had a chance to tell you
it's good to have you back it's good to
be back
everything going okay yeah it's not so
bad want to come over to the house
Sunday watch the ball game Helen's been
asking about Sunday felt real bad but I
couldn't pretend that things were the
same between me and mr. Warren I just
tried to concentrate on doing my job and
my very first assignment was to
investigate a bunch of burglaries that
are reported out by the lake
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
gonna have to wait or could write me a
personal check if you got the proper ID
see you're moving up in the world mr.
Bambang you know what beats the hell out
of the old job mr. Deveny

tight roll

charm hey yeah Johnson is it would you
book him for me grand theft auto and
burglary

believe this no problem I just go to a
movie or something

booked hey he's my prisoner
y'all prisoner I'm still running this
department and like I said our handling
you better go on duck
put it right on yourself you're on man
the next couple of months things just
went from bad to worse I was feeling
more and more alone to make things worse
I heard that Laura moved in with Randy
Barton
I couldn't sleep anyway so I volunteered
for night
[Music]
it's working late I heard shots anybody
hurt I don't know I just got here myself

drugs from inside we yelled at him and
they started shooting at us

look out hello son he's a little too
busy dodging bullets we shot at him any
hightail around back in the chase yeah
but it's pitch black back there you

lying why is that well first off
anything involving Randy Barton with
drugs it smells funny to me and secondly
take a look at this they said it was
pitch dark in this alley and the only
way that's true is if you close your
eyes I guess I shouldn't be surprised

to keep him off guard until he had
something solid on him how about that
rinky-dink operation of the post office
that was a trial balloon somebody was
willing to cooperate we win if not Jesse
thinks he's safe and relaxes some more
which is the way it turned out
satisfied yeah I guess so

says I'm guilty of something I'll take
my medicine
fine there is one thing you could do for
me what's that
could you go easy on mr. Warren he tried
to do a good job but for what but I
guess it was easier to go along with
