sing about tribal laws.

Horse sh*t excuses

for terrorists to...

put sand in my gears.

Is there something

you want to tell me?

Something specific?

You're a straight shooter,

aren't you? I like that.

Well, there is

someone specific.

Rene Laroque...

He's a part Indian.

He could be in the swamp,

killing people.

Lives there

like an animal.

Sir, before I arrest anybody...

I'll conduct an investigation.

Of course you will.

I'm saying it should be sooner

rather than later.

Let me tell you,

when the dust has settled...

you'll find this a nice

place to live.

- Isn't that right, Jake?

- Yes, Sir.

Real nice place.

I'll make sure of it.

Thank you, Mr. Schist.

Jake.

Get that dozer moving!

Pa. He's kind of young

to be Sheriff?

Yes...

he is.

That's the idea.

- Name?

- Teri Elizabeth Richards.

- Occupation?

- I teach third grade.

Being arrested

sets a good example?

Standing up for your

principles does.

So, yes.

Arrested 5 times.

the Dakota Ring.

Sheriff that swamp has been my

backyard since I was born.

It's part of me...

and I love it.

It's not Schist's.

It's ancestral

and sacred to the tribe.

And they saw no money.

Their leader, Ted Sallis

took it and ran.

Okay.

Okay, I'm listening.

No one'll see because Schist is

busy pumping money into the town.

But Sheriff this swamp is dying.

People are dying.

Rene Laroque.

Do you know him?

It's a small town.

- Everybody knows everybody.

- Can you help me find him?

He's not that easy to find.

Okay.

You can go.

Not charging me?

It's a small town.

Charging a teacher whose crime...

is caring about the land...

on my first day... That's not how

I'd like to get started.

You can go.

Fine.

- 'Morning, Sheriff.

- How are you doing?

Shouldn't diners be friendly?

Well, for you,

first coffee's free.

Thank you.

Second one is twice the price.

- There you go.

- Thanks.

- Morning, Sheriff.

- How are you doing?

What brings you here?

Warrant or pleasure?

- Got a sweet tooth.

- Well, Sheriff Williams...

meet another sugar addict.

This is Pete Horn.

Oh Pete, this is the nice man

that arrested me yesterday.

Howdy.

- Pleased to meet you, Sheriff.

- A pleasure, Pete.

- Do you mind?

- Here.

Breakfast, Sheriff?

Eggs and grits, I guess.

Can I help you?

No, I don't think you can.

But I can help you.

Welcome to Dodge City.

It's the showdown, man.

Legends here are true.

It's incredible.

Yeah?

Come to my swamp place...

I'll show you some things...

if you've the courage to...

Ploog!

What the hell you doing,

you freaky piece of sh*t?

Heel boys. Heel.

I told you,

don't bring them dogs.

Didn't realize you're the law.

You're lucky I didn't eat them.
