Sheriff Country

Previously on Sheriff Country...

You need to step away and just take some time off.

Just a little.

Our three million will be leaving

the sheriff's office tomorrow.

Rocky and I plan on stealing it back

from those DEA sons of bitches.

There is this company called Emerald Eden.

They have been snatching up the best

cannabis-producing land in Edgewater,

and they're using hardball tactics to get it.

It's either me or the case.

You can't have both.

I'm coming back, Mick.

People think I killed Brandon.

We can't control what people think.

- What is your problem... - I'm asking you, please...

- ...with Alec? - I'm-I'm crazy about you, Mick.

- I think I'm in love with you. - Wesley Fox,

you have the right to remain silent.

Deputy Director Eva Santos.

The Department of Justice has asked me to conduct

a comprehensive review to determine if you are corrupt.

I suggest you get a good lawyer.

You're gonna need one.

You know, we were waiting for you, but you never came.

Yeah, man, it didn't feel the same without you there.

Yeah, everybody was asking about you.

They were like, "Why isn't she here?"

and I was like, "I don't know."

I mean, you never miss a meeting.

Hello?

Skye?

Are you even listening to me?

Uh, sorry. What?

I said you never miss a meeting.

Where were you last night?

- You called Hazel? - She's your sponsor.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

Sit.

Don't be mad at Rick.

He's worried about you.

And so am I.

Why don't I get us some coffee?

What's going on?

What, I'm not allowed to miss a meeting?

Not when it's a milestone.

Nine months is a big deal.

I can take you to a meeting now.

I've got work.

- Work will understand. - Yeah, of course they will,

'cause everyone knows who I am.

They know who my mom is.

They know that she arrested my grandpa last week.

You know, even at N.A., I'm not really anonymous.

There's a closed meeting

at Saint Joseph's later today.

At the end, you'll get your nine-month chip...

- I don't want the chip. - Skye,

what is going on?

- You earned that chip. - I don't want it, okay?

You know, in the past, um...

when life got too much, I'd turn to drugs.

Uh, fail a test? Use.

Um, fight with my mom? Use.

And now my grandfather is going to prison.

And I watched my mom arrest him like it was nothing.

So, I don't know, I guess what happens next

just feels inevitable.

Skye, no. It is not.

Skye.

I'll go.

I don't know how else to say it.

I had no involvement

with my father's criminal activity.

So, walk me through it once more.

Look,

- Agent Santos... - Deputy Director.

Deputy Director.

I've done these interrogations many times.

I know you're looking for inconsistencies.

You're not gonna find any because I have nothing to hide.

I'm telling you the truth.

Just so I understand, the truth is,

you invited your father into your home,

at which point he not only started

an illegal cannabis trafficking ring

but stole $3 million of the DEA's money.

$3 million which had conveniently

just left your office.

And then I arrested him, as soon as I found out.

- What do you want from me? - It's very simple, Sheriff.

I want to know if you're compromised.

Compromised?

Look, I invited my father

to move in for a family matter.

Your daughter.

Skye. Correct?

Skye was in recovery.

She'd been addicted to stimulants

and she recently had a relapse.

I thought it would be a fresh start for her.

I-I thought it'd be a fresh start for all of us.

So, your daughter was a recovering drug addict,

and you invited a drug dealer into your home?

With all due respect, this is about the $3 million.

This line of questioning is completely irrelevant.

It's extremely relevant.

And might I remind you, you could have brought a lawyer,

but you declined.

Because I have nothing to hide.

I asked my father to live with us

because he told me he was going legal, and I believed him.

Perhaps because you wanted to believe him,

which, with all due respect,

suggests you're not a very good judge of character.

So, I will ask you once again.

Are you compromised?

Absolutely not.

This concludes my interview

with Sheriff Michaela Frances Fox,

9:53 a.m., Eva Santos, deputy director.

I'll be here a few days,

conducting further interviews and audits.

All right, I'll make sure you're comfortable.

You don't need to be working today.

- My mom will understand. - I'm fine, Rick.

Did your mom have a meeting in the calendar?

Not that I know of.

Rick, honey.

And Skye. How you doing, sweetie?

How are you holding up?

I know how close you and your grandpa are.

I'm good, thanks. Honestly,

I could use the distraction of work.

I get that. And I could definitely use you.

I'm holding a press event today.

Fraley Horizons is launching an exciting new project.

I've been dying to tell you,

but you know lawyers and their NDAs.

Finally, I can finally loop you in, if you're up for it.

- Of course. - I knew I could count on you.

Oh, Skye, let Rick get that.

Do you mind, hon?

Just tell whoever it is that I'm in an important meeting.

Hmm?

Hey.

How'd your interview with Santos go?

It wasn't an interview, it was a personal attack.

I'm so sorry, Mickey. I had no idea.

Look, you don't have anything to worry about...

Stop. Stop, stop.

Does she know about us?

Of course not. Why would she?

I don't feel comfortable lying to her.

We're not lying. We're under no oblig...

We're taking too big of a risk, Alec.

I don't think we should do this anymore.

Agent Kane?

I need your files on JoAnne Henshaw.

I'll pull those for you, ma'am.

I can't win. I arrested Wes,

yet somehow, I'm still too close to him.

Sorry you have to deal with all that.

I do have something that'll cheer you up.

Ta-da.

Cassidy.

You're back.

Reporting for duty.

And ready to give any obnoxious DEA agents a piece of my mind.

How was your time away?

After road-tripping with my mom, which was cathartic...

- Mm-hmm. - ...but a lot,

I rented a cabin down the coast.

Just me, the ocean, the quiet.

- You needed that. - Yeah, I did.

I expected a lot more resistance

when I asked her to come back early.

Wait, you called her?

Right after your dad got arrested.

He said you needed your people close.

He was worried about you.

Thank you.

Come on.

Let me catch you up on the land grab case.

So glad to have you back.

Wow.

And I thought I was obsessed

with catching the Blood Moon Killer.

This land grab case has me beat.

I'm not obsessed.

So, where are we?

When I left, all we knew was that someone

was trying to buy up land in Edgewater.

Not just any land, prime weed-growing land,

and if you refused to sell...

that's the red spaces... they would intimidate

the hell out of you, and sometimes worse.

- "They"? - An LLC.

Emerald Eden. Set up in Nevada.
