Previously on Sheriff Country
MICKEY: You got shot,
Boone. Take as much time as you need.
CASSIDY: Running in on an active
shooter no recon, no waiting for backup?
I found another way in.
Wes was abducted by the Stoyanovs.
He was working with the DEA
as a confidential informant.
I'm Sonny Stoyanov.
WES: Petar's boss. I know who you are.
I'm Anna Stoyanov.
WES: I know your husband by reputation,
- but what happened?
- ANNA: A stroke two years ago.
MOLLY: They keep us up in the attic.
You're not getting out of Deadwater.
MOLLY: We have to! Priya is pregnant.
SONNY: I'm gonna show
those girls what happens
when they put their trust
in a busted old man.
- JOEY: Where did the girls go?
- MICKEY: Drop your weapons!
- (gunfire)
- (groaning)
MICKEY: What is it?
- Is it my dad?
- EVA: He was here.
- Wes was alive.
- Where is he now?
BOONE: Perimeter established.
We have a roadblock on Highway 14.
No signs of the girls, Stoyanovs or Wes.
PEÑA: We checked the
trail in both directions.
- Nothing.
- CASSIDY: I'm at the farmhouse.
The girls were definitely here,
but we don't know where they went
or where they're heading,
or if they're even still
No. They're alive.
They have to be alive.
BOONE: Hey, Mick. Mick, you copy?
Mickey, talk to me.
What do you want us to do?
All right, Boone, Cassidy,
head back to the ECSO.
We're just chasing our tails out here.
The Stoyanovs could
be hours ahead of us.
Peña, keep your position.
Meet up with the K9
units when they arrive.
And be careful.
Bulgarians chased off any growers,
but it's still Deadwater.
(sighs) Wes, where are you?
(bird cawing)
(sighs)
(coughing)
(panting)
(engine revving)
Go. Go! Run! Run!
Oh, my God. Get up.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
MOLLY: Run!
- (metal grinding)
- (groaning)
(men groaning)
Wes. This is the guy I
was telling you about.
There's an army of these guys,
and they're just gonna keep coming, so,
- we cannot stay on this trail.
- (engine approaching)
MICKEY: I just want to scream.
Where the hell is my dad?
EVA: At this point,
we don't know anything.
MICKEY:has a saying. "If Wes
isn't scheming, he's not breathing."
EVA: The mountain is his turf.
- CASSIDY: Mickey!
- Yeah.
We finished searching the compound.
- What?
- We found two more bodies.
Bulgarian. There was a struggle.
Bloody footprints from a third
person that we never found.
The Stoyanovs were torturing someone.
Someone who got away?
- Someone who got away.
- (knocking)
- JAKE: Sheriff.
- Jake.
- Thanks for coming.
- Hey, when the sheriff calls.
So, what are we looking at?
Right, earlier this Oh.
- Earlier this morning
- Sorry.
we executed a joint
DEA-ECSO operation
- at a cychlorphine drug lab in Deadwater.
- Okay.
The lab was being run
by the Bulgarian cartel.
- They were holding girls there.
- We think four.
We believe the girls got away on foot,
but there may be more
Bulgarians pursuing them.
Now, we have our search and
rescue team on the ground.
Any support that 42 could give
Yeah, we're stretched pretty thin these
days, but we'll do everything we can.
- Only
- Only Deadwater is 1,400 square miles
of harsh forest terrain and
canopy cover, which means
- helicopter is useless.
- JAKE: Yeah.
Not to mention, it's Deadwater.
MICKEY: Jake, there's more.
My dad.
- Wes?
- We have intel that suggests
that he was being held by the Stoyanovs.
We don't have a lot of details,
but we have reason to believe
that he left the compound
shortly before the raid.
Okay, do we think he's with the girls?
I hope so. If anybody knows Deadwater
I'll head over now, and my SAR
team is already on the way.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Nice suit.
Nice kit. So, what?
You sleeping out of the office?
I have boundaries.
Work-life balance even.
But these girls need someone.
And you don't get to change
the subject that easily.
What's with the suit?
Um, I'm taking Violet to
our old stomping ground.
Afternoon service.
You're back at church?
I'm just trying it on for size.
- Looks good on you.
- Yeah, well, maybe next week.
- Always someone new to save.
- Always.
- Hey, Mick?
- Yeah.
There's someone I need you to meet.
- Okay.
- This guy's name is Parker Chase.
Just flew in from Palo Alto.
Santos connected us. He is the CEO
of an AI startup.
Boone, we're in the middle of a manhunt.
- That's why he's here.
- SKYE: Mom!
- Skye, what's going on?
- Why are you not answering your phone?
I can't reach Grandpa.
I went to your house
to ask you about it,
and you never came home.
No matter what's going on,
I've always been able to reach him.
- Skye
- EVA: Mickey,
we need to huddle on Oh, Skye.
Mom, what's going on? Where's Grandpa?
PARKER: Sheriff Fox.
- SKYE: Mom!
- I know how to find your missing girls.
My company, Skotos AI, provides local
law enforcement with cutting-edge AI tools.
We are already up and
running in Drake County,
and Sheriff Jim Wade he will tell you
all the great results they've had.
We're talking license plate readers, facial
recognition, a whole arsenal of tools.
But maybe the most exciting thing?
Predictive policing.
What if I told you, in ten years,
no one with a cell phone will be
able to get away with a crime?
Because every time you
download an app to your phone,
you are voluntarily handing over
hundreds of unique data points.
You want to know where
someone will be in a month?
I can tell you where they've been
every month for the past two years.
- Mr. Chase
- It's Parker, please.
- Parker, uh, we are very busy.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Tell her about the drone, dude.
- Right. Sorry. The drone.
Right now, there is a
military-grade unmanned drone
sitting in the parking lot, equipped
with the latest in thermal
mapping technology.
If those girls are on the mountain,
my drone will find them.
I just need you to give
the word, Sheriff Fox.
Let's get that drone in the air.
WES: In the '90s,
the Feds raided this entire mountain,
and when the dust settled,
all the original growers got together.
They built a-a series of cabins
so that we'd have places to
lay low when the need arose.
Those cabins they kept them stocked.
But, uh, all those OGs they're gone.
Their cabins are still here.
Let's see.
(chuckles) Ike, you crazy bastard.
Okay. Okay. All right.
I want you to follow me.
Follow behind me.
You follow single file.
Watch where I step,
because I want you to
step in my boot prints.
This whole damn place is booby-trapped.
Cupboards are bare.
All right. We got to keep moving.
Catch your breath,
but don't make yourselves too comfortable.
Uh, uh, uh.
Here.
Molly told me you're pregnant.
How are you holding up?
All right.
PARKER: Using the coordinates you provided,
we're hunting for heat signatures.
Well, the drone is.
It does all the work.
Real-time calculation of all likely
routes from the starting location.
Just got word. Sonny
Stoyanov chartered a plane
out of a private Oakland airport.
Three passengers boarded
late last night.
We are tracking that flight from D.C.,
and the second they land,
we will take them into custody.
Finally, some good news.
Hello!
EVA: There are five of them.
Wes is with the girls.
They're about an hour's drive from here.
- Send me the coordinates.
- Got it.
And keep me updated on
any of their movements.
- Sheriff Fox!
- BOONE: Copy that.
What?
(computer chirps)
BOONE: That's one of Sonny's guys.
And he's armed.
All right. Okay.
We've got to get moving.
Can't we just wait for one more?
WES: Shh.
(distant clattering)
- (clattering)
- Down!
- (gunfire)
- (girls shriek)
- (man yelling)
- (girls whimpering)
- WES: Bear trap.
- (man screaming)
(man continues yelling in distance)
(panting)
WES: Come on. This side's clear.
Come on, come on, come on.
SKYE: Mom! Where are you going?
Is Grandpa okay?
(Mickey sighs)
She deserves to know.
Okay, um, yeah, Grandpa was taken.
- Taken?
- By some men, some criminals.
We think he got away,
but he might be in danger.
Your grandpa's working
undercover for the DEA.
It's part of the deal he made.
The deal I-I convinced him to take?
EVA: Wes made his own choice.
- Nobody made him.
- Hey, we're gonna find him,
I promise.
As soon as I know anything,
you'll be the first
to hear, okay?
- (kisses) Okay?
- Okay.
- (buzzer sounds)
- Thanks.
- All right.
- Wait. Don't leave.
- I'm coming back.
- (man yelling in distance)
(pained yelling continues)
(groans)
Ouch.
Hey.
- Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
- Aah!
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
- (panting)
- Shh. Shh, shh, shh, shh.
I am trying to show you mercy,
but, yeah, my gauge is
getting kind of low.
All right.
This is what's gonna happen.
I know you got a radio,
and you are gonna get on it,
and you're gonna tell your
boys to stop following us.
'Cause if they don't
that's gonna seem like a scratch.
(sirens wailing)
BOONE: Yeah, Mick, our five heat
signatures are back on the move.
Sonny's guy never left the cabin.
Copy.
Wes is a survivor.
She reminds me of you.
Skye.
She's been through a lot.
Well, she adores you.
I can tell by the way she looks at you.
It wasn't always like that.
We were at each other's
throats for years.
Then my dad moved in.
We had a good thing going.
At least I thought so.
GINA: They're gonna find him,
Skye.
I talked Grandpa into taking the deal.
I just wish there was something
that I could do, you know?
(scoffs)
- What?
- After Brandon,
when you were being interrogated,
right over there,
your grandpa was sitting here
crawling out of his skin.
Kind of like you are now.
And you know what I told him?
90% of being family is just showing up.
(phone buzzes)
(sighs)
Is everything okay?
Yeah. I'm just waiting for the
results of my latest scan.
I'm supposed to call tomorrow,
but I keep thinking
the doctor's gonna get the
news and call me early.
Ugh. If it's clear
I'm cancer-free.
If not,
another six months of chemo.
I'm sorry. I just
needed to tell somebody.
I'm glad you did.
(birds singing)
(soft groaning)
(Priya gasps, grunts)
Priya! Oh, my God.
- Shh. Shh.
- It's okay. It's okay.
- It's okay. It's okay.
- Shh. Shh.
(Wes shushing)
All right, uh, let me see it.
- (Priya whimpers)
- Let me see it.
It's it's not broken, but
it's a hell of a sprain.
Uh, all right, uh, change of plans.
Uh here.
You ever use one of these?
- Why?
- You are gonna take Noel and Bryce,
and you're gonna keep going down
this trail. There's a creek.
When you get to the creek,
go to the right.
A mile down the way,
there's a there's a crossing.
Go across the water,
and you stay on that trail.
You'll eventually come to a highway.
Uh
- WES: Oh, hey, hey. It's
- (stammering)
- Uh, I
- It's not time to talk.
It is the time to move.
And you're gonna go walk all
the way to that highway,
and you flag down the
first car you find.
You-you ask her to call the sheriff.
Now, Priya and I we'll,
uh We're gonna keep moving
right down this ridgeline,
so you tell the sheriff
exactly where you have left us,
and she will know where to find us.
Go.
You heard him. Come on.
Come on.
Oh, God.
Okay. Everything's gonna be all right.
It's just me and you.
We make one hell of a pair, don't we?
(siren wailing)
MICKEY: Boone, we're
almost to the staging area.
- Give me an update.
- BOONE: All right, so,
42 are clearing a path
to the main trail.
Peña's team are circling back.
They're gonna meet you
at the staging area.
We still have eyes on the girls and Wes,
but we got a problem.
Our five heat signatures
are splitting up.
Three of them are going ahead,
two of them are taking
the long way around.
The drone can only stay with one group.
Wes took the long way around?
- BOONE: Yeah.
- (sighs)
If he did that,
he's got a reason for it.
Stick with the bigger group.
Copy that.
- (siren wailing)
- (engine revving)
(vehicle doors closing)
JAKE: Okay, we cut a path. It's tight,
but it'll get you there.
We're ready to move.
Okay.
BOONE: Mick,
the girls are heading your way.
They're on the main trail right now.
They're about half a mile
east of your current position.
Have Peña take position
west of the trail.
I don't know who's still
looking for the girls,
but I don't want them coming up behind us.
- Copy that.
- And Cassidy's two minutes out.
- Copy.
- All right, I'm with you.
- Mm-mm.
Look, we don't know what type
of shape these girls are in.
You need all the help you can get.
Okay, but wait for Cassidy.
- All right, we'll catch up.
- MICKEY: All right.
It's half a mile of rough terrain.
You sure you're up for this?
I haven't had this much fun in a decade.
So, how you holding up, kid?
How about you?
(coughs) Oh, I'm fresh as a daisy.
(whispering): Down, down,
down, down, down, down.
(chatter in Bulgarian over radio)
(speaking Bulgarian)
(twig snaps)
(grunting)
(grunts)
(strains)
(grunting continues)
(groaning)
(groans)
Wes.
(two gunshots)
(Noel screaming)
(muffled whimpering)
MICKEY: Boone, shots fired.
BOONE: Mickey, the girls are
just around the bend. Right there.
Edgewater County Sheriff's Office!
We're here to help.
- Get down!
- (screaming)
MICKEY: Multiple suspects,
exchanging fire.
NOEL: I can't. I can't.
I can't! (whimpering)
(cries out)
(grunts)
(panting)
I got her.
- Look at me. Hey.
- (Noel panting)
- Ow! (groans)
- Okay.
Can you tell me your name?
- (Noel cries)
- MICKEY: You're okay.
You're okay. It's okay.
(both panting)
(whimpering)
Boone, have you found the
other two heat signatures yet?
BOONE: We only found one.
The body's not moving.
The gunshots.
BOONE: Hey, Mickey, Skye's still here.
What should I tell her?
WES: Hey!
What's all the fuss?
- Oh, you stupid son of a
- (Wes groans)
Somehow, you always come back.
(panting)
- Here.
- You had us scared, old man.
Who you calling old?
(phone ringing)
Santos.
You know, you could have
waited five minutes.
Up at the compound?
We could have helped you find the girls.
Yeah, well, those girls
didn't have five minutes.
- So
- So you risked your life
to save four girls you've never met?
Yeah?
Ugh! Dad, you make me insane.
You do stuff like this,
and then you also
I know. I know.
I haven't forgotten, you know?
The co-op? Stealing $3 million?
I know.
The Stoyanovs requested
clearance to land in Peru.
I have a team waiting for them.
Sonny, Anna,
Konstantin will get picked up
as soon as they hit the ground.
Not a bad day's work.
- Skye.
- What?
She was worried sick about you.
I told her I would let her know
- as soon as I got word.
- Just-just go.
I can get one of your
deputies to give me a ride.
(siren wailing)
You were worried sick about me, too.
(laughs) - I bet you
didn't sleep a single wink.
Tell Violet I'm sorry you missed church.
Damn. I better grab her
some tulips on my way back.
Must be hard, being married
with a job like this.
You know what's funny?
It was actually harder before.
I just didn't know it.
That sounds like something
married people say.
What? No. No. No. Hey, no. I mean it.
Every part of this job
it used to be tougher before I
found somebody to share it with.
All right, but what about you?
Uh-huh. Miss Work-Life Balance.
- (laughs)
- What?
I mean, no thoughts of settling down?
Me? No. Honestly,
I don't even know where I'd
find the time to start looking.
Yeah, well, I mean,
the time is never gonna be perfect.
But if you keep waiting for that exact
right moment, it's never going to happen.
All right, look, I'm not saying
that I don't keep a toothbrush
in the back of the truck.
But if you want a life
more than all of this,
you're gonna have to be the
one to make the time for it.
(quiet chatter)
- Grandpa?
- He's safe.
I know.
- You raised quite a kid.
- (Skye laughs softly)
And you are dangerously
behind on your reports.
Tomorrow, paperwork.
- She's right.
- Okay.
There's something I need to say.
Uh-oh.
When I found out Eva
your grandmother was still alive
I felt like my whole
world was spinning.
Like I was that little
six-year-old girl all over again.
I was so focused on my own pain.
And then, this morning,
you were so scared.
And I just brushed past it.
I should have told you
sooner what was going on.
I think I took for granted
how strong you've become.
I'm sorry I was so
consumed by my own crap.
Um
You're right.
You're not a kid anymore.
But neither am I.
Maybe it's time that I
start taking care of you.
And that's what you
and Grandpa taught me.
Family is about being there for each other,
through thick and thin.
- (Skye laughs softly)
- Mmm.
- (sighs)
- Ugh.
It has been a long
Day, week, year?
- Mm.
- (Skye laughs)
- You hungry?
- Chinese?
- Mm, that's perfect.
- Yes.
WES: Mmm! Mm. (laughs)
Hey. Just like the old days.
EVA: You learned a trick or two
in the last three decades.
Yeah, it was either that,
or join the priesthood.
- (laughs)
- But I was thinking
that, uh, we could try again,
me and you.
What? Us again?
Oh, come on. Have you ever loved anybody
the way that you loved me?
That was Maria, Sly. Not me.
Yeah. No, no, no. No.
You said yourself that
what we had was real, so
I'm not the mountain girl
that you fell in love with.
I never was.
(phone buzzes)
(groans) Come on.
Santos.
What?
How the hell did this happen?
Find them. I don't care
what you have to do.
Just find them.
- (Eva sighs)
- What's going on now?
More Stoyanovs?
The plane was a decoy.
I had a whole team waiting for
them on the ground in Peru.
They weren't on the plane.
They played us.
Sonny, Anna, Konstantin.
They're all in the wind.
- Where are you going?
- Flying back to D.C.
I need all my resources
available at my disposal.
You're gonna leave Edgewater
without speaking to Mickey?
The last time that Sonny evaded capture,
his family went dark for a year.
I need to find the Stoyanovs
before they go off the grid.
Petar.
Sonny's underboss? What about him?
You said Sonny disappeared before.
But his business didn't
shut down, did it?
Deals were being done,
decisions were being made, so,
he was sending orders from
somewhere to somebody.
That somebody's probably
gonna know how to reach him.
Petar. We have him under
protective custody
in a DEA safe house.
- Want to give me a ride?
- Yup.
I was just talking to Parker Chase,
and this AI stuff is amazing.
He wants to set a call.
I'm catching up on reports.
Uh, I was just looking over
the Mary Elliot murder file?
Yeah, we closed it. Turns out it was,
uh, Owen Bekins, friend of the family.
After taking fire, you entered the
suspect's house without backup.
- Is that accurate?
- I had backup.
I was with I was
with Hank and Cassidy.
It says you broke a window.
You entered the suspect's house alone.
No, I went in through the back door
while Cassidy and Hank
secured the front.
Did Hank call for backup?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Did you wait for the backup to arrive?
Is this a joke?
He was shooting at us, Mickey.
I didn't think it was a
good idea to wait around
while one of your deputies
got blasted by a shotgun.
Procedure exists for a reason, Boone.
Yes, and I was handling the
situation on the ground.
He shot at us through the front door.
So you go in without backup?
Without visibility?
Without having any sense of what's?
I do not need you
to Monday-morning quarterback my plays.
I pulled myself out of
a hospital bed for you.
I didn't ask you to do that.
No, you didn't,
because you didn't need to.
You asked me to cover
the Mary Elliot case,
which I did, when I was on desk duty!
If you're gonna call me into your office,
how about a thank-you?
How oh, how about,
"Excellent job, Lieutenant Boone.
"Thank you for clearing
yet one more of my cases
"while I'm off
playing with the DEA"?
I have been working my ass off
- to hold this place together.
- It's your job!
Just because things get stressful,
it doesn't mean the
standards of the job slip.
Now, that-that's rich
coming from you, Mickey.
Excuse me?
What is that supposed to mean?
I don't know. Maybe if I didn't
have to scrape you off the floor
of the Drake County Sheriff's Office.
Mickey
You're dismissed, Lieutenant Boone.
- Okay. Look, I
- I said, you are dismissed, Lieutenant!
- Hey.
- (Boone sighs)
The other day, uh, you were right.
I don't have any bars on my collar.
But I don't give a damn.
You're gonna hear what I got to say.
Every single person in this
department looks up to you, Boone.
Because you're a great cop.
And you're not wrong.
You deserve more than a thank-you.
You've been working your ass off.
We all have.
But is this how a Number
Two carries himself?
After the siege, I wasn't okay.
You helped me.
Now it's my turn.
You cannot keep going like this, Boone.
If you do, you are going
to burn out, or worse.
You have to take care of yourself,
so that you can take
care of all of us, too.
EVA: Since you've got a
good thing with Petar,
I may tap you in if
he doesn't talk to me.
Hang on.
Marshal, this is Deputy
Director Santos. I'm coming in.
Marshal Skinner?
WES: Petar.
- What the hell happened here?
- EVA: We were on our way
to question Petar,
and Sonny got here first.
- You think he's still in town?
- The plane was a head fake.
Sonny's in Edgewater.
He's tying up loose ends,
eliminating anybody who
could testify against him.
The girls. Molly and Priya and
All right, Boone, Cassidy, find the girls,
bring them into protective custody.
And Courtney, Donna, Dale,
- anybody who knew anything.
- Yup.
And you, you're coming to stay with me
until this gets wrapped up.
I should've seen this coming.
Parker Chase?
This is Sheriff Mickey Fox.
Tell me more about predictive policing.
Oh, hey, your mom's not here.
Oh, I'm not here for my mom.
I'm here for your call.
You're not doing this alone.
Okay. I guess there's no use in waiting.
Hi. This is Gina Fletcher.
I'm calling for the results of my scan.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
Yes.
I understand. Thank you.
(crying)
It's clear. My scan is clear.
(Skye screams)
- Oh! Oh, my God.
- My scan is clear.
Yes, yes, yes!
(both laughing)
- (sighs heavily)
- Goodness.
- Oh, yay.
- Mm-hmm.
Here.
NURSE: You, uh, you
You can't you can't go back there!
Clear.
- (handcuffs clicking)
- How'd you find us?
Every two weeks for the last six months,
you've sat in that chair and
played solitaire on your phone.
EVA: Every two weeks, without fail,
except for yesterday.
And then, an hour ago,
you opened your app again.
Talk about Big Brother.
You should've helped me
save those girls, Anna.
Could've avoided a lot of trouble.
Hank's with Molly and Courtney.
They're safe.
Noel is at the hospital with her mom.
Chang is there.
- Who's left?
- Just Priya.
There's no known addresses.
She gave us a bad cell number.
There's got to be something.
I have an idea.
EVA: Help us find Sonny, Anna.
How do you communicate with him?
If something were to happen to Konstantin,
how do you reach them?
DEA bitch.
Family would never betray family.
- That's why we keep beating you.
- WES: He's gonna kill
- those girls.
- With any luck, he'll reach you first.
WES: Oh, you're a hard one, Anna.
I knew there was a reason I liked ya.
But you're sitting across from the
two hardest women I've ever met.
So, what do you think they're
gonna do when they find Sonny?
EVA: And what about Konstantin?
How long do you think he's
gonna last in federal lockup?
If you help us bring in Sonny,
I'll make sure he gets into
the best facility possible.
Look, I know what it's
like to lose family.
I was just a kid when I lost my mom.
And then, two weeks ago,
I almost lost my daughter.
I don't know what I would have
done if she didn't make it.
That's a grief I don't
think I could've survived.
How will you feel, losing Sonny
and Konstantin on the same day?
How will you live, knowing you could
have helped us bring Sonny in safely?
Come on, Anna.
It's over.
Thank you. Yeah. Thanks.

Priya has an aunt that
she stays with sometimes.
BOONE: That's the other direction.
And I'll try her aunt.

- Hold on.
(tires screeching)
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- Priya, it's Deputy Campbell.
Are you alone?
How did you get this number?
I don't want I don't want to testify.
I don't want anything to do with it.
- I need you to listen to me.
- What's wrong?
I am on my way to you now.
I need you to go hide.
One of Sonny's guys is
Uh, a car just stopped on the street.
There's a man inside.
- (engine revving)
- Priya, lock the front door.
I need you to hide. Now.
- (engine revving)
- (tires screeching)
(tires screeching)
Drop the gun! Down on the ground, now!
Shots fired. Suspect down.
Repeat, shots fired!
(speaking Bulgarian)
- (sighs heavily)
- (phone chimes)
Uh, uh, excuse me.
My-my parents?
- Are you Sonny?
- Yeah.
Come on back. It's your dad.
Federal agents! Do not resist!
(Sonny grunting)
(handcuffs clicking)
(groans)
(panting)
ANNA: Sonny, I'm sorry.
No. I saved you.
- You'll forgive me someday.
- MICKEY: Keep her moving.
How long did it take you to walk
across the parking lot, huh?
99% chance you knew
that this was a trick.
But, ooh, that one percent.
That one percent. Family.
Family's everything.
Over that way. Mm-hmm.
WES: Despite everything,
she turned out amazing.
Despite us.
And she didn't turn out,
she fought her way out.
You never quit on her, Sly.
You never quit on this family.
You always do what you think is right.
Even when I'm wrong?
(laughs)
You know, Costa Rica is very
beautiful this time of year.
And I have some vacation time saved up.
I may not be ready for
a trailer in Deadwater,
but two weeks on a beach?
Think about it.
You know how to reach me.
- Nice work.
- You, too.
Well, I guess you got what you came for.
Not quite.
Um, leaving you was the hardest
thing I ever did in my life.
I had to convince myself that I
could live with the choices I made.
But seeing you with Skye
I was so wrong.
And I'm so sorry.
I thought that I could just
go on living without you.
But now, I know I don't want to.
I didn't come back
here for the Stoyanovs.
I came here for you.
I came back for
I came back for my Michaela.
I want to be in your life
if you'll let me.
My mom is the most important
person in my life.
I am who I am, I do what I do,
because of her.
There's not a single day that goes by
that I don't think about her.
But my mother, Maria Fox?
She died 35 years ago.
I'm I'm glad I came back.
Seeing you and Skye
it's meant the world to me.
And Wes
There's nothing he wouldn't do for you.
Sheriff Fox.
Deputy Director Santos.
