on duty.

[Arthur] Well then, deputy,

hold on to your johnson.

We're not deputies.

- Shh.

- This morning at O600,

head check came up

one short, prisoner 614.

Fine then.

COs discovered a tunnel,

hidden behind the

toilet in his cell,

spanned 400 feet.

Son of a b*tch must've

held it for months.

Anyhow,

we got word

that a hunting party

saw a fella in shackles,

matching his description,

up on Slide Mountain.

Now, if I'm not mistaken,

that sits square within the

middle of your jurisdiction.

Yes, sir, it does.

Good, any questions?

Uh, yes, sir.

What do you want us to do?

Well, for starters,

catch the son of a b*tch.

- He murdered a deputy in cold blood, back in '58.

- Jesus.

Left a widow and

three daughters.

So, if anything happens,

nobody's gonna lose sleep

over a dead cop-killer.

Godspeed, deputy.

I'm counting on you.

Yes, sir, and I just

wanna let you know,

on behalf of the...

- [dial tone humming]

- Hello?

Is he gone?

He's gone.

[phone hanging up]

[sighing]

I know what we're gonna do.

Nothing.

We ain't doing nothing.

You heard the sheriff

as same as I did.

We're gonna hike out

to Slide Mountain,

capture the prisoner,

return him to justice.

We'll be heroes.

Sheriff will have no choice,

but to give us our jobs back.

Thurman, we swore an oath

to uphold the law.

It seems awful

wrong to break it.

Tell me, Jim, what law

are we breaking?

Impersonating an officer.

We're not

impersonating anyone.

Badge or no badge,

we're deputies.

And you're right,

we did swear an oath

to the good people of Shandaken.

And I'll be damned if I leave

them in their time of need.

There's a cold-blooded

killer out there, Jim.

And goddamn it,

we're gonna find him.

Get your hat.

[door opening]

[rock smashing schackles]

We head out in the wilderness,

we capture the prisoner,

return him to justice,

at which point,

we will inevitably

be hailed as heroes

and the sheriff

will have no choice

but to give us our jobs back.

- That's a dynamite plan.

- [slamming table]

- See?

- And no one's disputing that.

What makes you think

that we can find him,

much less apprehend him?

The Slide Mountain

wilderness is 45,000 acres

of rugged beauty.

He could be anywhere.

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe the fact that

we're highly-trained

sheriff's deputies.

We've been training for

this our entire lives.

This whole, a culmination

of all of our experience.

- We don't even have our guns.

- It's just an apex of things that we've learned.

We don't have our guns.

What are we gonna do?

This man killed a

deputy in cold blood.

What makes you figure he's just

gonna give up to us willingly, huh?

Still have the
