Sheriff Country (2025) s01e20 Episode Script

1
Previously on Sheriff Country
Deputy Director Eva Santos.
Walk me through it once more.
You invited your father into
your home, at which point
he stole three million
dollars of the DEA's money.
And I arrested him.
No, Mom, don't. No!
Miranda Fraley is Emerald Eden?
BOONE: She's the one
behind the land grab,
the murders, all of it.
MICKEY: Skye! Do not leave Skye's side.
I don't think she overdosed,
I think she was poisoned.
SKYE: It was Rick. He caught me trying
to break into Aunt Miranda's safe.
Rick would never do
anything to hurt Skye.
You have to tell me
where Rick is right now.
RICK: You got to get me out of this.
You poisoned a sheriff's daughter.
- You can clean up anything.
- I work for your mother.
- I don't work for you.
- So you'll take care of it?
Yeah, Rick, I'll take care of it.
- Hey.
- Hey.

AMBER: Here you are.
Thank you.
AMBER: Enjoy.
Amber.
AMBER: Yeah, Punch?
Nice picture.
It's vandalism, pure and simple.
I'll alert the FBI.
Hey, Ted, I just sent you a
list of Rick Fraley's roommates
when he was in rehab.
Let's run 'em down.
Maybe they've heard from him.
And then, uh, and also
see if we got any touch
DNA from those stones
that Cassidy and I found
at the safe house.
All right, thanks, man.
- [sighs]
- EMMY: Don't you ever rest?
Hey. Emmy, hey.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I'm a workaholic too.
But, as a medical examiner,
I don't think folks would appreciate it
if I brought my work to The Meat Up.
Buy you a cup?
You know, I would love that,
but I'm-I'm still
working this land grab case.
I will leave you to it.
Hey, Emmy.
Just a sec.
Here.
Hey, Amber.
You come visit empty-handed?
No flowers? No cake?
Okay, you're really milking
this broken rib thing.
Ribs. Plural.
And you ever hear of internal bleeding?
Oh, hey. Come on in.
Don't tell the orderly, but I, uh,
snuck you an extra pudding cup.
Why, thank you, Lisa.
That's so sweet.
Feel better, Enrique.
- Enrique?
- Oh, God.
Is your real name Enrique Iglesias?
Enrique is Spanish for Henry
Bailamos ♪
Oh, God.
Let the rhythm take you over,
bailamos. ♪
Yeah. How are things at the ECSO?
Dude, this is amazing. Enrique Iglesias
- is your name.
- How are things at the ECSO?
Yeah, the ECSO. Uh they're good.
All right.
What's up?
We catch the Blood Moon Killer,
and thank God
we did. I go away for a month,
and what do I come back to?
Skye getting poisoned?
A plot to kill people for
their land. For money.
[sighs] This job, Hank.
Sometimes, I don't know.
Cassidy.
You're not thinking of leaving the force.
Maybe I am.

Know I won't find it ♪
I could get used to this.
[grunts]
Sorry. My back's been acting up.
Well, getting a little old
to be rappelling out of helicopters.
Yeah, no kidding.
All joking aside
Have you ever thought about
not being sheriff anymore?
Getting out of Edgewater,
just saying screw it?
[soft chuckle] No.
Come on. You never thought about it?
You on a beach?
Teeny, tiny bikini?
I can tell you've thought about it.
Uh-huh.
[laughs]
You know
if you'd asked me a year ago,
I would have said no way.
But everything that's happened with Skye
and arresting my dad
Doesn't sound too bad, does it?
I used to run cases out
of Central America,
so I had to get my pilot's license.
And a few years back,
I bought a little Piper Cub.
It's at the airport right now.
We could be in Mexico by sunset.
I'm Seriously. Think about it.
Lazy evenings.
Nowhere to be, nothing to do.
Be a jump start on a whole new life.
You're too much of an adrenaline junkie.
You would never quit the DEA.
I'd do anything for you, Mickey.
[knocking]
- Set the table.
- No
I'll go see who it is.
Miranda. What are you doing here?
I can't find Rick.
Can I come in, please?
Uh I've tried calling, texting.
His Find My Phone is off.
I'm afraid he might be
using again. Or worse.
And I know what you're gonna say.
Rick tried overdosing Skye
He didn't try, he did.
- Skye confirmed it when she woke up.
- She did?
Yeah. That could be why you
haven't heard from him.
- You have company.
- Um, Alec Kane. He's, uh,
DEA. Alec, this is Miranda Fraley.
Travis' sister.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Can I get you anything
coffee?
Coffee would be great.
- I didn't sleep last night.
- When's the last time
- you saw Rick?
- Yesterday morning.
I was hoping your office
could look for him.
But, given what you just said,
I-I suppose you already are.
- I'm afraid so.
- It's fine.
I don't care if he gets arrested.
I-I just want to find my son.
All right, um,
let me check in with Boone.
See if he's heard anything.
[phone vibrates]
Hey, Mick.
Hey, um, I have Miranda over at my house.
Uh, that BOLO we put out
on Rick any hits?
No.
No, nothing yet, but don't worry,
it's-it's early, Mickey, we'll find him.
And, I mean, there's only so
many places he could be, right?
Mick?
I said no hits on that BOLO.
I'll see you at the ECSO.
Okay.
Nothing yet. We'll let you
know if we hear anything.
Thanks, Mickey. It means a lot.
It was nice meeting you,
- Agent Kane.
- It was nice meeting you, too.
Sounds like she's been
through a lot with her son.
You know, I have the day off.
If you want me to help you
find this kid, just read me in.
That's great.
I'm gonna just get dressed.
All right.
[phone rings]
It's Director Santos.
Director Santos, how are you?
Mickey. I got to show you something.
Cassidy and I went back to the
safe house where Hank got shot.
I don't think Mack Maguire
pulled the trigger.
I think somebody else did.
Miranda Fraley's hatchet man
call him Mr. X I think
he was there that night.
And I think I found
his shooting position.
You see these stones? He left 'em there.
ALEC: Yes, ma'am, that's great news.
I think it's pretty thin, Boone.
What do you mean, thin? I mean,
look-look at how
these stones are piled.
That's meticulous. Someone was there.
Doesn't mean it was
Miranda's hatchet man.
Did you pull any touch DNA?
No, no touch DNA. But this guy had
- the perfect shooting
- I still think it's thin.
I like Mack Maguire as the shooter.
ALEC: Thanks.
- How was the call?
- Good.
Santos is finishing up her report now.
It'd be good to have you
cleared of suspicion.
The idea that you, of all people,
could be compromised.
Mickey. Rick Fraley's car was spotted
at a convenience store out in Dogtown.
Lot of drug activity
in that part of town.
- I could ride with you.
- Yeah, that'd be great.
I could use somebody
who knows the terrain.
Boone, Cassidy, you follow.
Apparently, it's
"bring your boyfriend to work" day.
Mickey's been through a lot lately.
Try and cut her some slack.
Adam One on scene. Adam Four, report.
PEÑA: Suspect's vehicle hasn't moved.
Male subject was observed going
into the store a few minutes ago.
MICKEY: That's Rick.
He's on the move.
All units, move in. All units, move in.
Sheriff's office! Rick, stop!
Do not move!
[grunts]
[grunting]
Hey, let me go. We didn't do nothing.
CASSIDY: Mickey.
- Whoa, do you have a warrant?
- Thanks to that blood, I don't need one.
Is that
- Rick Fraley. Hey, uh, we didn't do that.
- We don't know nothing about that.
- Shut up.
They both have the same story.
Found the car last night,
abandoned in Needle Ravine,
decided to take it for a joyride.
More likely they shot Rick
and were on their way to drop the body.
And decided to stop
for snacks on the way?
- That's weird.
- You got another theory?
Well, Rick would use when he was
stressed, right? I'd say hiding
from the cops after trying
to kill Skye checks the box.
So, he goes to Needle Ravine, he's gonna
try and score some drugs,
meets a dealer, shoots Rick,
stuffs him in the trunk,
and that's where he is
when these two idiots
come across the car.
- Feels like a stretch.
- [scoffs, laughs]
Let's bring 'em in. I bet a
little pressure, they confess.
Mickey, I'm telling you,
something's not adding up.
I like Alec's theory better.
We're going to Needle Ravine.
But Mickey just said
I don't care what Mickey said.
[crying]: No, no, no, no.
- Oh
- Miranda, I'm so sorry.
You know, you hope and you pray.
You try to talk yourself out of it.
But somehow I always knew
something like this could happen.
Do you have someone in custody?
We haven't charged them.
Right now we're holding them
for possession of a stolen vehicle.
But yes, we detained two suspects,
one of whom has a history
of drug offenses.
If I'm right and this is about drugs,
I promise you the DEA
will do whatever we can
to help Sheriff Fox
bring your son's killer to justice.
Thank you, Agent Kane.
The last time I saw Rick,
he was standing over me,
waiting for me to die.
Now I'll never get to ask him why.
I think I need to call Hazel.
That's a great idea.
That's what your sponsor's there for.
I'll stick around today,
make sure she's okay.
My parents, my sister, now my nephew.
My family has caused us so much pain,
and I never see it coming.
It's what family does to us.
Boone.
- What's up?
- Eyeball test
looks like the same
treads as Rick's car.
All right, so let's assume
that those idiots we busted
were here last night. Who kills somebody
and then does a bunch of doughnuts
with the dead body in the trunk?
So you don't buy Alec's theory.
No, I do not.
CASSIDY: I know him.
Hey, Andy, it's Deputy Campbell.
ANDY: Yeah, I
I don't want to talk to you.
I got this.
Hey, Andy. I haven't
seen you in a while.
ANDY: I don't want to
go back to the shelter.
CASSIDY: That's not why we're here.
Andy
a man was shot last night.
I think it could have happened here.
Did you see anything?
I heard it.
Gunshot, just after midnight.
See this graduation gift, from my mom?
Still works.
Well, I popped my head
out and I saw a guy
standing there, with a gun, and he was
next to a car. It was too dark,
couldn't really see his face.
And then there was another guy.
He looked dead.
Then what happened?
Then the guy with the gun
he, uh, slipped
[laughs]: on the ice and he fell.
He started cursing up a storm.
And then he put the
dead guy in the trunk.
Then he drove off in another car.
BOONE: These kids didn't do it, Mickey.
Andy said he heard a shot and saw
one man stuff Rick into the trunk.
Think about it.
You put a dead body in a car,
leave it with the keys
in an area that is known
for vehicle theft
how long before someone takes it?
It is the perfect way
to cover up a murder.
Did the on-site techs find anything
shell casings, anything?
ALEC: And that second set of tire treads
that you saw at Needle Ravine
are a make that you can
find on a million different vehicles.
I don't know, Boone.
Eyewitness testimony's
notoriously unreliable.
Eyewitness testimony from a homeless guy
with a history of mental illness?
That may be next-level.
- Thank you so much, Deputy Kane.
- Boone.
[chuckles] Look,
let me reach out to one of my
undercover contacts who
frequents Needle Ravine.
Maybe someone a little more reliable
- saw something.
- Thank you.
- We appreciate it.
- Hey,
we're all on the same team, right?
[door opens]
- What are you doing?
- You're not gonna like
what I'm about to say.
You're gonna say I'm jealous
or resentful, and I don't give a damn.
Boone
For months, we've been looking
for Mr. X Miranda Fraley's
hatchet man. Right?
The guy who cleans up her messes.
I think it could be Alec.
I don't think Alec Kane is Mr. X.
I know he is.
A year ago, Miranda Fraley started
muscling her way into the
Edgewater cannabis trade.
Mack Maguire was one of her enforcers
a member of
the Death Merchants Motorcycle Club.
The same gang that Alec was
embedded with when he was undercover.
"We're all on the same team, right?"
He used that exact same
phrase when he sent
me and Hank to the
safe house to get shot.
Alec was there that night, Mickey.
I didn't realize it until just now.
Alec killed Mack Maguire and shot Hank.
This morning, when
Miranda was at my house,
they didn't think I saw them,
but Alec and Miranda knew each other.
Alec spent years undercover
getting to know all the players,
learning their tactics.
If you're Miranda and you're
looking for someone to help
you strong-arm your way
into the weed business, you could
not do better than a dirty DEA agent.
MICKEY: He winced. This morning,
when I hugged him, he winced.
Didn't Andy say
The man who shot Rick took a hard fall.
And the timeline works.
Rick was shot just after midnight.
Alec got to my house at 1:24.
I know because I woke up.
That gives him enough time
to shoot Rick, go home, take a shower,
and then get in bed with me.
Should've dialed me in, Mick.
You know I've been losing my damn mind.
I wasn't sure.
Wasn't sure or didn't want to be?
I'm sorry, Mickey.
I know how much you care about him.
Alec Kane is Mr. X.
Now all we have to do is prove it.
SKYE: My dad said that they offered
you a deal but you wouldn't even hear it.
Is that true?
N-Now, hold on, little girl.
You don't know all the details.
No, and, apparently, neither do you.
Skye, you make a deal with the Feds,
they own you forever.
So maybe they offer
you a crap deal, maybe
you say no. Doesn't hurt to listen.
They There's no deal
that they can offer me
that's gonna get your mom to forgive me,
so what's the damn point?
After Brandon died,
I wanted to use so bad.
But I didn't.
Because you were there for me.
I'm a better person with you in my life.
A stronger person.
That's the damn point.
Grandpa, just hear them out.
If we could make this quick,
I'm on my way
to make funeral arrangements.
I came to talk to you about the person
that killed your son.
Not the guys we have in custody.
I don't think they had anything
to do with Rick's murder.
And I think, deep down,
you don't, either.
What are you talking about?
You knew you'd have a
fight on your hands
when you decided to take over
the Edgewater cannabis trade.
The cartels, the OG
growers like my dad
they weren't gonna go quietly.
I-I don't know if he approached
you or the other way around.
Either way, you found
your right-hand man.
Someone to do your dirty work,
tie up loose ends.
It was a great arrangement.
Then yesterday,
Rick poisoned Skye.
And I think you and I both
know what happened next.
Your right-hand man decided that Rick
was just another loose
end and he killed him.
Now you don't know if you can trust him.
You don't know who you
can trust, do you?
And if, for the sake of argument,
your theory is right,
what do you want me to do about it?
Turn yourself in, Miranda.
Testify to Alec Kane's
role in your crimes.
Get justice for your son.
Is this the same Alec Kane
you were playing house with yesterday?
Makes me wonder.
What are you prepared to
take responsibility for?
For taking you and Alec down.
I take responsibility for that.
My son is dead. Nothing I
say will bring him back,
and neither will going to jail
for something you can't prove.
Sandwiches are coming.
You can take this with you.
- Thank you, Deputy Ca-Ca
- Cassidy.
PUNCH: I've had it, Gina.
And don't tell me it's
a victimless crime.
GINA: Punch, you can't
just come back here.
This has gone on too damn long.
I want to talk to Mickey.
- Punch.
- Andy.
You two know each other?
- He's my brother.
- Your brother?
Punch, Andy's sleeping
- in Needle Ravine.
- I'm aware of that, Deputy.
I'm trying to get him
to go to the shelter.
- Maybe you can talk him into it.
- I'm sorry,
but I have to think about
my family's safety.
I want nothing to do with my brother.
CASSIDY: What was that about?
GINA: Follow me.
The Elliots have been
in Edgewater forever.
Thirty-some years ago
I remember Punch was in college
their mom Mary was brutally murdered
in their home. Andy was there.
And for a while,
he was considered a suspect.
But there was conflicting
evidence and he was never charged.
But that didn't stop Punch
from believing that his brother did it.
Punch grew up with Andy hearing voices,
sometimes becoming violent.
That's why, to this day,
Punch wants nothing to
do with his brother.
I'm gonna have a chef salad.
- All right.
- Uh, grilled cheese.
- Thanks, Amber.
- Got it.
Somehow I'm not in the mood for
a sandwich named after Pop-Pop.
The Fraley.
I used to be so proud
to share that name.
My phone has been blowing up all day.
Bankers, board members.
Timber workers' union.
They all want to talk
about your cousin Rick,
and the shady land deals
and "Is this company on the up-and-up?"
And what did you tell them?
Told them what I always tell them.
"I have full faith and confidence
in my sister Miranda's leadership."
But what do I think?
No matter what happens,
the company that we knew,
the firm that built Edgewater
it's over.
[sighs] First Grandpa, now you.
Do I have to kick
everyone in the ass today?
There are great people
working at Fraley Horizons.
I know, because unlike you,
I go to the board meetings.
I eat lunch in the company mess.
Honey, I'm not saying there
aren't great people there.
I'm not even saying the
company's lost its way.
Timber is dying, we had to pivot.
I guess I just-I just mean
i-it feels like it's lost its soul.
Or
maybe its soul hasn't been
going to the board meetings.
You say you're not proud to be a Fraley.
Well, I am.
Because the Fraley I grew up with,
he isn't perfect
[laughs]:but he is kind
and he cares about people
and he fights for what he believes in.
And right now, the company
needs the same thing that I do.
Someone who will fight for them.
With them.
I'm game if you are.
BOONE: Mickey, I think this is insane.
MICKEY: Yeah, well, you also thought
that the Raiders were
gonna make the playoffs.
Wish me luck.
I figured, after the week you had
MICKEY: I went to see Miranda today.
Oh, yeah? How'd that go?
We were, uh, discussing
alternative theories
about who killed Rick.
- Alternative theories?
- Yeah, um,
we heard she got in with
some pretty bad people,
and I think it's possible
one of them could have killed Rick.
You know what she said?
Hmm?
Nothing.
Wasn't gonna bring Rick back.
- Can you believe that?
- [laughs softly]
I swear, the things we see on this job,
half the time, I don't know why we do it.
Thought it was the huge
salary we get paid.
There's always Mexico.
Kane.
Boss is looking for you.
[door opens]
You wanted to see me?
Shut the door, Agent Kane.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
Uh, not that I'm aware of.
Nothing you want to
tell me about your time
here in Edgewater County?
Uh [soft chuckle]
At what point were you gonna
tell me you were carrying on
a relationship with the
sheriff of Edgewater
the same sheriff that I
came here to investigate?
I know I should've disclosed it.
- The relationship
- As you know, Agent Kane,
of the three million dollars
that the co-op stole,
two million has never been recovered.
I now have it on very good
evidence who has that money.
Sheriff Mickey Fox.
No.
No way.
I'm sorry, ma'am, but Mickey Fox would
never be involved in something like that.
You're lucky that I've turned up nothing
to link you to the heist.
Otherwise, you'd be in custody.
As it is, I'm putting you
on a plane back to D.C.
- You are off the case.
- Deputy Director
Eva.
I made a terrible lapse in
judgment by having a relationship
with Sheriff Fox, but there is no way
that she's involved in
a criminal conspiracy.
I don't know who gave
you that information,
but whoever it is, they're wrong.
[button clicks]
Send him in.
[door closes]
- Deputy Director.
- Go ahead, Deputy Boone.
Two days ago,
one of my CIs gave me a tip
that JoAnne "Mama Joe"
Henshaw was hiding
in a remote cabin up in Deadwater.
Grabbed a couple of deputies
and we took her into custody.
Henshaw admitted to helping
Wes Fox take the DEA's money.
But that's not all she told us.
She said, in exchange for helping
to hide Mama Joe from you guys,
Sheriff Fox accepted a bribe
of two million dollars.
EVA: Think about it, Alec.
Of all the co-op members that
you were able to round up,
only Mama Joe slipped
through your fingers?
How do you think that happened?
I don't believe it.
I've known Mickey for years.
I didn't want to believe it, either.
But Mama Joe showed me her phone,
and it's
A screen grab, of multiple texts
between Henshaw and Sheriff Mickey Fox,
implicating her in the bribe.
And let's not forget
the sheriff's uniform
that Luna Miller wore
that played a key role in that heist.
That was Mickey's uniform.
EVA: At a minimum, it's enough
for a warrant to search her house.
I just submitted the application,
it should be here within the hour.
And when we get that money,
Mickey Fox will be joining
her father in federal prison.
- Where's the money?
- Money? What money?
Come on, Mickey, we don't have time.
Time for what?
What are you talking about?
Do you trust me?
Alec, what is going on?
Do you trust me?
- Yeah, I trust you.
- Boone is onto you.
He knows about the two million
and he read in Santos.
In an hour, she will have a
warrant with your name on it.
Now, please, where's the money?
Upstairs.
You must be disgusted with me.
[laughs]
Hot damn, girl, you are good.
Mickey, we are getting out of here
and we're never coming back.
Huh?
There's just one thing.
Y-You ask me if I can trust you,
and then you're checking
to see if I'm wired?
ALEC: I had to be sure.
[laughs softly]
Where are we going?
Far away. I need you to pack a bag.
This is my mess.
Y-You can't sacrifice
your career for me.
Mickey, when are you gonna learn?
I'd do anything for you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's not supposed to leave with him.
She didn't get the confession.
Backup units, keep your distance.
So, we'll fly to Southern California,
we'll refuel in Palm Desert.
We should be in Mexico by nightfall.
I'm gonna need your cell phone.
We got to ditch our SIM cards
so the FBI can't track us.
Oh, my God, Skye. I have to call Skye.
What, do you want to call her from jail?
They got phones in Mexico.
- We'll call her
- I can't just leave her here.
M-Miranda's hatchet man
is still out there.
What's to stop him
from going after Skye?
She could be another loose
end he needs to tie up.
That's not gonna happen.
You don't know that.
Actually, I do.
MICKEY: How?
How do you know that?
Drop it.
- He made her.
- Boone.
Wait! Damn it.
When did you know?
Yesterday, with Miranda.
You saw us.
Drop the gun or I'll shoot you.
Mickey, if you were gonna shoot me,
I think you'd have done it already.
How could you?
Twenty years I've been
putting my life on the line.
I got three bullets in me.
And for what?
A garbage pension and the
thanks of a grateful nation?
Everything you told me was a lie.
Mickey, we can still get on that plane.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
- You killed Rick.
- No.
I killed the psychopath
who tried to murder Skye.
I had to do it. He wasn't gonna stop.
I didn't want Skye to
end up like Brandon.
What?
Rick killed Brandon Debrauske.
They got in a fight over drugs.
All Miranda cared about was
that I clean it up for her.
I was thinking about you,
I was thinking about Skye.
I made sure that Skye
didn't go down for a murder
- that she didn't commit.
- Wait.
MICKEY: The drug dealer. Smith.
You-you teed him up to take
the fall for Brandon's murder.
[gunshot]
[gasps]
Okay. We need to staunch the blood.
You planted the knife
so I would find it.
ALEC: I did it for you, Mickey.
Forget Smith, forget Rick,
forget whoever's listening
on the other end of that wire,
it's just you and me,
like we talked about, remember?
Lazy evenings, late mornings.
A fresh start. We can
still have that, Mickey.
You just got to get on that plane.
I love you.
I know.
That's how I knew this plan would work.
[grunting]
[gunshot]
[Alec coughing, groaning]
[panting]
I loved you
and you used it against me.
You did it first.
Mickey. You okay?
Gun!
[sirens wailing in distance]
BOONE: Mickey?
Boone! Boone. No, no.
- Boone
- Officer down.
We need an ambulance. Officer down.
MICKEY: No, no, Boone. Boone!
Your taste in men.
It keeps me up at night.
Me too.
Hmm.
Alec?
Are you okay?
I'm supposed to be asking you that.
I'm good as new.
I let my walls down.
That was a big mistake.
Letting people in is never a mistake.
And the next time you do,
you'll find someone who deserves you.
Knock, knock.
[chuckles]: Emmy, hey.
- What a nice surprise.
- Hi, Sheriff Fox.
Emmy.
Wow. You'll do anything
to get out of karaoke.
Don't make me laugh.
- This is for you.
- Oh, my God, that's amazing.
Oh, here.
I should get going.
You sure?
- Take care.
- All right.
- EMMY: Looks just like you.
- BOONE: Stop.
Yeah. The same smile.
BOONE: [laughs] Oh, stop.
You got me feeling lately ♪
Like a new world has begun ♪
There's a fire so deep ♪
Miranda Fraley, you're
under arrest for extortion
and conspiracy to commit murder.
[scoffs] I'll beat this.
You'll never prove this
conspiracy even existed.
Maybe, maybe not.
But for something that never existed,
it sure cost you a hell
of a lot, didn't it?
It's a brand-new day ♪
TRAVIS: My family loves
to say we built Edgewater.
But we didn't.
You did.
Look, you built this
company, too, and I
Come on.
A brand-new day ♪
We
are going to need the help of
every single one of you to rebuild it.
As a family.
It's a brand-new day ♪
A brand-new day ♪
A brand-new day. ♪
Ah.
Okay
Welcome back, Burrito Boy.
Thank you. Hilarious.
Hey, it was either the burritos
or I tell them your real name.
Whoa, hey.
You're not packing up, are you?
- Why would I be packing up?
- Because the other day,
you said you were
thinking about quitting.
- I never said that.
- So, when I asked you,
"Are you thinking about leaving?"
and you said, "Maybe I am"
- You're drunk.
- Uh-huh.
"Unsolved homicide."
I keep thinking about my mom.
We didn't get along for years,
then I solved Zoey's case,
and we're good.
Maybe I can give other families
that same kind of healing.
I'm working late.
We could divvy up the work.
Maybe order in?
Mexican?
[chuckles]
AGENT: Deputy Director Santos?
EVA: Thanks for coming in, Sheriff.
I wanted to thank you for bringing
Alec Kane's criminality to light.
I know it must have been difficult
to sacrifice the love of someone
you care about for your job.
Like you said, it's my job.
Well, you'll be happy to know
that I finished my investigation
and found that you were
in no way compromised
by your father's criminal activities.
I know my questions were probing,
even personal at times.
I hope there are no hard feelings.
In fact, I would like to continue
our working relationship.
You know this town better than anyone.
Would you be open to
a joint investigation
between the ECSO and the DEA?
What do you have in mind?
What do you know about the Stoyanovs?
A Bulgarian cartel just starting
to make inroads in Edgewater.
They're a violent, tight-knit group.
It would be hard to gather any intel
- without a man on the inside.
- Exactly.
And I've got the perfect person.
He has an established
relationship with the Bulgarians,
he has enough street cred to hide in plain
sight and he's agreed to work with us.
His name
is Wes Fox.
[laughs]
Okay, I'm sorry,
I am not working with my father.
Besides, he is never going to
cooperate with the government.
Well, he did resist our initial
overtures, but apparently,
your daughter is very persuasive.
I just got a call from
his lawyer this morning,
and he is willing if you are.
Well, I'm not.
I'm done with my father.
I don't want to talk to him,
let alone work with him.
You have a good day.
Just a moment, Sheriff.
This can go one of two ways.
One, you work with your father
for the good of the
town that you both love.
The other, evidence of your
relationship with Alec Kane,
who perpetrated several
murders in this community,
finds its way into the local media.
Forget about winning the next
election, you'll be lucky
to get a job as a mall cop.
Bring in our new confidential informant.
Mari You Maria?
Hello, Wes.
We have a lot to talk about.
Wait, you two know each other?
I thought you were dead.
Dad, who is this?
Mickey, this is your mother.
