00:00That's ready to run.
00:02I just happen to be in the right place at the right time?
00:06Still no hits on Chimera.
00:08I've underestimated him in the past, and it ended... badly.
00:12Did a little digging? Tell me you haven't been lying to me.
00:14Who are you, really?
00:25I can't tell you. I'm sorry.
00:28If you're in witness protection...
00:29It's more complicated than that, please. Just let it go.
00:33If you could just assure me...
00:34Just stop.
00:36Please. I can't.
00:41Can't or won't?
00:52I guess I have my answer, then.
00:58Sam, I...
01:07I really wish we could've gone for that walk in the snow.
01:13Merry Christmas, Emily.
01:14I won't lie. I thought about leaving.
01:15Just packing up my cats, and my computer, and my comfortable pajamas, and starting over, in some other way.
01:20I love it here. I love my shop. I love the people.
01:22I love it here. I love the people.
01:23I love my shop. I love the people.
01:24I love the people. I love the people.
01:25You're all right here.
01:26One day, I was a girl. I was a girl.
01:27I never wanted to go and see her.
01:29I don't know.
01:30I don't know.
01:32I was a girl.
01:47I love my shop. I love the people. I even love the cold.
01:51And what's to say things will be any better somewhere else?
01:55Knowing me, I just find some inventive new way to mess up a good thing.
02:05This is gonna happen, okay? We're gonna lose some times. It's all right.
02:09Judging from your expressions, I guess you had a tough match.
02:12We played hard, Sue, but the chess gods were just not looking down on us today.
02:16Maybe I can help with that. Milkshakes are on the house.
02:19Hey!
02:20Thanks, Sue. Look at that.
02:24You okay, Kyle?
02:26I just don't understand what happened. We never lose to East Creek.
02:29My focus has been way off. I'm so distracted by schoolwork.
02:34Sorry.
02:35Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't. I don't meet you.
02:38Have you lost without your help?
02:40Um, you have your books with you?
02:43Yeah.
02:43Yeah.
02:43Uh, here. Here we go.
02:46Wait.
02:47Is that the new Run Run Hamari volume?
02:50Yeah, I picked it up at the new anime store next to the skate shopping place.
02:53Okay, I have to know. Does Hamari finally...
02:55Wait.
02:56No distractions.
02:58School stuff first, and then I want a page-by-page recap.
03:00Deal.
03:03Let me guess.
03:05Large coffee, black.
03:06Thank you very much. Yes, please.
03:08I'll brew you a fresh pot.
03:10Violet, break's over.
03:11I'll be back in a few, okay?
03:13I'm not going anywhere.
03:15You know, Emily, you really should hydrate after a run, like a normal person.
03:19Normal's overrated.
03:20Losing Violet at the mistletoe was a painful consequence of what I'm calling the Christmas Eve catastrophe.
03:26Without knowing my situation, Sam didn't feel safe having her in my immediate orbit.
03:30And I can't really blame him.
03:33So, Christmas is coming up fast.
03:35Must be getting busy at the mistletoe.
03:37Yeah.
03:38Yeah, it's picking up.
03:39I told Violet I needed to cut her hours to zero during our slow period.
03:43A lie she gracefully accepted.
03:45Okay, bring it in.
03:46I don't want to see any more long faces.
03:48What's going on over there?
03:50The chess team just got back from an out-of-town match.
03:52That's Mr. Henley, the coach.
03:54And we'll see you all at practice tomorrow.
03:56Henley.
03:56Uh, why do I know that name?
03:58He's my English teacher.
03:59I've mentioned him before.
03:59Yes.
04:00Right.
04:03And you and I will have a talk.
04:04I just don't understand why I...
04:05We'll talk about it tomorrow.
04:06Um, Mr. Henley, before you leave, I have someone I want you to meet.
04:11Hi, Tim Henley.
04:12Emily Lane.
04:12You've made quite an impression on Violet.
04:14Oh, really?
04:15I must not be giving out enough homework.
04:18Hey, I know why the team lost today.
04:21You're not wearing your lucky tie.
04:22Oh, you noticed that, huh?
04:24Uh, so how do you two know each other?
04:27Emily's my boss.
04:28Well, former boss.
04:30Hopefully future boss.
04:31Hint, hint.
04:32Well, I'm sure you're just as impressed with Violet as I am.
04:35Violet, table five.
04:36Uh, that's me.
04:37You two feel free to keep singing my praises.
04:40I was actually just on my way out, but it was great meeting you.
04:43Yeah, you two.
04:43Merry Christmas.
04:44Merry Christmas.
04:45Hey, coach, I'm like...
04:46It's out of my hand, Shane.
04:47Who's that cute guy over there?
04:55He's a friend from school.
04:57And before you ask, it's not like that.
05:00He struggles with Shakespeare, so Mr. Henley asked me to help him get his grade up.
05:04Mm-hmm.
05:05As the immortal bard once said, the lady doth protest too much.
05:10I know a teen crush when I see one.
05:12Oops.
05:13Forgot to turn the coffee on.
05:14Hello, Sam.
05:20Emily.
05:21Getting excited for the holidays?
05:23Kind of goes without saying, doesn't it?
05:27And how have you been?
05:28Can't complain.
05:30And that about sums up every conversation I've had with Sam since last Christmas.
05:34I should.
05:35Yep.
05:36Yeah, have a good night.
05:37Sure, we're friendly to each other on the occasions we cross paths,
05:40and we've had many chances to clear the air, but we never did.
05:44Oh, Sam, wait.
05:48Violet asked about coming back to work at the store.
05:52Yeah, I'm not sure that's...
05:53No, no, I know, I know.
05:54I just wanted you to be aware that she brought it up.
05:57All right.
05:59Thanks for letting me know.
06:00I'm not sure that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware that she's going to be aware
06:30My god.
06:55We wish you a merry Christmas.
06:58We wish you a merry Christmas.
07:02We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy Christmas.
07:08Good news.
07:09I found another one.
07:10What?
07:11June.
07:12Hey.
07:13Wow.
07:14Ellie, it is bustling in here.
07:17I know.
07:18You're going to need to hire some extra help.
07:19Oh, God, I know.
07:20I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
07:22Oh, well, are we still on for dinner?
07:23I understand if you need to cancel.
07:25No, absolutely not.
07:26No, let me just finish up with these last few customers,
07:28and then we'll be good to go.
07:29Okay.
07:30Okay.
07:31This is so nice.
07:33I didn't realize how much I needed this.
07:35Right?
07:36The problem is I share my clinic with my house,
07:38so I don't go anywhere.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Same.
07:42If I didn't have to leave my apartment to open up the shop,
07:43I wouldn't know what day it was.
07:45Well, here's to getting out more often.
07:47I will drink to that.
07:49Great job today, Violet.
07:51You want something to eat before you go?
07:52I'm good, thanks.
07:53My dad's on his way.
07:56What are you reading over there?
07:58A book about chess.
07:59I didn't know you had an interest, Vi.
08:01Oh, it's not chess that she's interested in.
08:04It's who's playing the game.
08:06Oh, okay.
08:08Kyle is a good friend.
08:11Kyle?
08:12And chess is important to him,
08:13so I figured I'd at least learn the basics.
08:15Is that so wrong?
08:16No.
08:17I think it's sweet.
08:18But when you say good friends...
08:20That's all we are.
08:21Yeah, okay.
08:24Although, I am kind of hoping he asks me
08:27to the Snowflakes Emmy Formal next week.
08:31But don't say anything to Dad.
08:33The last time he saw a boy talking to me,
08:34he ran a background check on him.
08:36And that was in middle school.
08:37Yeah, that tracks.
08:39You know, I used to dabble in chess back in the day.
08:41Really?
08:42Yeah, I mean, I was no grandmaster or anything,
08:44but I held my own.
08:46Violet?
08:47Oh, Dad.
08:50Ladies?
08:52Can I drive, please?
08:54Maybe on the side roads.
08:55Oh, we have our side roads.
09:00She's quite the smit kitten.
09:02And Kyle is crazy about her, too.
09:03He's in here so much during her shifts,
09:05I should charge him rent.
09:12Hello.
09:13Hi.
09:14Mwah.
09:15Get this off.
09:17Okay.
09:21I was careless in my search for Chimera last year,
09:23and very nearly brought them right to my doorstep.
09:25Since then, I've replaced my hard drive and built an improved firewall to ensure nobody can pinpoint my location.
09:35Now I'm mostly focused on tracking sites associated with Chimera, rather than poking the bear directly.
09:41So, what have I discovered?
09:45Gotcha.
09:46Mostly that Chimera is being as careful as I am.
09:49But the last few months I've noticed an uptick in their activity,
09:53which makes me uneasy and triggers some bad memories.
09:56I'd much rather bury my head in the snow and pretend Chimera isn't still a threat.
10:04But I can't let myself get complacent.
10:07Not again.
10:08Violet!
10:09Hey!
10:10Are you on your way to school?
10:11Yeah.
10:12It's been a while since I've been by.
10:13I miss it.
10:14Well, my loss is Sue's gain.
10:15She told me what a great job you're doing.
10:16She's lying.
10:17Can I ask a favor?
10:18I'm on the decorating committee for the semi-formal,
10:19and I was hoping you might have some decorations you'd be willing to donate.
10:20Yeah, I'm sure I could figure something out.
10:21I'll take a look.
10:22Thanks.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Oh.
10:25Oh.
10:26Oh.
10:27Oh.
10:28Oh.
10:29Oh.
10:30Oh.
10:31Oh.
10:32Oh.
10:33Oh.
10:34Oh.
10:35Oh.
10:36Oh.
10:37Oh.
10:38Oh.
10:39Oh.
10:40Oh.
10:41Oh.
10:42Oh.
10:43Oh.
10:44Oh.
10:45Oh.
10:46Oh.
10:47Oh.
10:48And, um, you mentioned you play chess.
10:51Any chance you have time to teach me a thing or two?
10:53Are you sure Mr. Henley wouldn't be a better choice?
10:55Maybe.
10:56But he's gone.
10:58What do you mean, gone?
11:00The day after we met him at the diner, he didn't show up for school, and he hasn't been
11:04back since.
11:05Kyle says the chess team is really struggling without him.
11:07Oh, you can't.
11:08He's just vanished.
11:09Our vice principal told us that he resigned unexpectedly to take care of a sick relative or
11:13something.
11:14But I can't believe that he'd just leave without saying goodbye to his students like that.
11:18It's very unlike him.
11:20Yeah, it does seem unusual.
11:21Oh, I'm going to be late.
11:22You'll go back to me about those decorations?
11:24Yes, absolutely.
11:25Thanks, Em.
11:26You're the best.
11:27It was easy enough to find Tim Henley's address online, even if I don't quite understand
11:40why I felt compelled to come to his house.
11:43Then again, I probably don't need a shrink to tell me that in addition to a guilty conscience
11:47for ending Violet's employment so abruptly, I also feel bad that she's now lost someone
11:52important in her life.
11:54Mail's piling up.
12:01Nobody's been here for days.
12:04Maybe he's had to leave town, but then why leave the Christmas lights on like this?
12:11Something feels very wrong here.
12:20You don't think a missing teacher is worthy of investigation?
12:23Missing's an overstatement.
12:24Look, if he handed in his resignation letter, it doesn't exactly scream foul play.
12:28I am telling you, there was zero indication that he was on the brink of walking away.
12:32Okay.
12:33I'll look into it.
12:34Great.
12:36How's everything else?
12:38You doing okay?
12:40Yeah.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Yeah.
12:44Um, Christmas store is keeping me busy.
12:47Good.
12:48I know we haven't, um, I want you to know I regret how we left things.
12:59I was caught off guard and I didn't handle it well.
13:03Um, I probably could have handled things differently too.
13:07That's not to say I don't still have questions.
13:10And I'm still not comfortable answering those questions.
13:17Great.
13:18See ya.
13:19What time do you see?
13:21Okay.
13:22Okay.
13:23I'm still sitting right in the chair.
13:24Okay.
13:25You're right, okay?
13:26I've got a judge.
13:27Hey.
13:28You're a judge.
13:29You're a judge.
13:30You're a judge in your place.
13:31Okay, what's up?
13:32Oh my God.
13:33You're a judge.
13:34You're a judge.
13:35Yeah, I'm a judge.
13:36You're a judge.
13:37Your judge is a judge.
13:38It's been a long time since I've set foot in a high school.
13:56A lifetime, really.
13:58And as different as my experience was, there's still something very familiar.
14:02The sounds, the smells.
14:04It's like I'm being transported back in time.
14:08Excuse me, I'm looking for the residence building.
14:23Hello.
14:38Everyone take your seats quietly, please.
14:46There's a seat right up here.
14:47I like your computer.
14:53The processing speed on that model is incredible.
14:56You know computers?
14:57I have a customized PC back home.
14:59It's an older model, but I've been working on upgrading it.
15:06I'm Grace.
15:07Good to know.
15:14I'm Aaron.
15:15Class is starting.
15:17Computer away now, please.
15:22It was the best of times.
15:25It was the worst of times.
15:26I don't think Charles Dickens was referring to high school when he wrote that.
15:30But he may as well have been.
15:31Emily!
15:32Ray!
15:33What?
15:34Merry Christmas!
15:35Oh, we're starting out already?
15:36We're barely into December.
15:37Oh, it's never too early to wish someone a Merry Christmas.
15:39I'll take your word for it.
15:40What brings you here?
15:41I sponsored the chess team.
15:42I was just dropping off their new team jackets.
15:43You like?
15:44Seems a little niche.
15:45No?
15:46It's not exactly Friday Night Lights.
15:47Well, have you know that the chess team has a long and storied tradition?
15:51Five times regional champs in the last decade alone.
15:53I stand corrected.
15:54Do you know where the gym is?
15:55Down the hall to the right.
15:56Tell them Famous Ray sent you out.
15:57You really can't turn it off, can you?
15:59Merry Christmas, Emily.
16:00Ooh, hey, you're right.
16:01Maybe it's not too early.
16:02Hmm.
16:03Hmm.
16:04Hmm.
16:05Hmm.
16:06Odin's Mate.
16:32Well played.
16:33You know yourself.
16:35yourself. I don't think we've met. I'm Richard Leland, vice principal and interim coach. Emily
16:41Lane, observer. Are you a family member or? No, I just came to drop off this box of decorations for
16:47the dance committee, but I got turned around. Well, I can take that for you. Oh, great. Thanks. This
16:51match will be wrapping up soon anyway. That was over two moves ago. Bishop to age six.
17:01Checkmate.
17:01You know, the team could use a seasoned hand in that corner. This isn't really my forte.
17:13My son Shane convinced me after our longtime coach left the school. It was unexpected. The coach
17:18leaving? I was completely blindsided. He really let these kids down. But it does leave us in the
17:24market for a new coach. The team plays in competition twice a week after school and the practices are
17:28flexible. What do you say? I can't. I'm sorry. Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
17:34Yeah. Nice to meet you.
17:38Kyle.
17:40I have to admit I'm tempted by the vice principal's offer.
17:44If things weren't so complicated, I might have even taken him up on it.
17:47That was close. Sam almost saw me. Wait, why am I even hiding from him? I have every right
18:04to be here. Guilty reflex, I guess.
18:19Oh! Hey! Where'd you come from? Is there a person in there? Huh?
18:23I think he's a stray. I've seen him around the last couple days, just didn't have the heart to call
18:28animal services. Yeah, he's got no collar. I think I know just who you need.
18:40I mean, he's hungry, but otherwise healthy. I'll take him back to my clinic for a more thorough
18:44checkup and a hot meal. If we're lucky, he'll have a chip with his owner's information on it.
18:49I keep him here, but Moseley and Doyle weren't too thrilled with the idea of another roommate.
18:54I had to lock him in my bedroom just to keep the peace.
18:56Oh, it's okay. I've got the space. Plus, it'd be kind of nice to have the company.
19:02Yeah, even if it's just for a day or two.
19:08You're getting the late start to your decorating?
19:11Yeah, I've been a little distracted.
19:14Anything you want to talk about?
19:19Hey, Sam. What's up?
19:26Thanks for coming.
19:27Everything okay?
19:29That depends.
19:31You want to tell me what you were doing at the high school this afternoon?
19:34I saw your car in the lot when I went to talk to the staff about Violet's teacher.
19:38What'd you find out?
19:40Okay, fine. Violet came to see me today to ask if I had any decorations I could donate for the dance.
19:46I went to the school to drop them off. That's it. Your turn.
19:51All right. Hanley's a popular guy.
19:53His peers seem pretty disappointed he left. A few of them have reached out,
19:56but no one's heard anything back.
19:57What about the resignation letter?
19:58I've asked to see it. I'm meeting with the vice principal tomorrow.
20:01Look, the point is I've got it handled.
20:02Fine.
20:04Look, I may not fully know your circumstances,
20:06but I'm pretty sure you came here to keep your head down and start fresh.
20:09The more you get involved in things that don't concern you,
20:12the more you put yourself and possibly others at risk.
20:14Merry Christmas. Thanks for coming in.
20:30Emily.
20:32Hi.
20:33Brooke, what can I do for you?
20:35I was just in the area and thought I would pop by to say thank you for the Christmas decorations you donated.
20:40For the school dance?
20:41Exactly. Well, I head off the decorating committee.
20:44Isn't that a student-led committee?
20:47Technically. I first accepted the position when I was a student.
20:51After I graduated, I intended to hand over the reins to someone with the same
20:55drive and passion, but I just never found them.
20:59Anyway, one of those strings of lights that you brought over isn't working,
21:03and I was just wondering if maybe you had a replacement?
21:05Oh, it's probably just a faulty bulb. You just had to figure out which one it is and switch it out.
21:09Perfect. If you could come by after school and take care of that, that would be wonderful.
21:14Yeah, I could do that.
21:16I knew I could count on you.
21:18Actually, you know what? Hang on a second.
21:21If you spend some time at the school, you probably know a little bit about what goes on there, right?
21:25Try me.
21:27Okay. Let me see.
21:30Any good intel on the chess team?
21:32Well, I know the top players are in line for scholarships. Very competitive.
21:36And I also know that our team is in some trouble this year,
21:39thanks to East Creek bringing in a ringer for their coach.
21:42Do tell.
21:43Mila Bancroft.
21:46As I understand it, she was a former prodigy,
21:48but she was blacklisted from competition when she was still a student.
21:52But do you know why?
21:53Hmm.
21:53She hired someone to rough up her opponent so they'd miss the match and she would win by default.
22:01It was a big scandal at the time.
22:03I mean, I guess everyone's entitled to a second chance.
22:07But with Mr. Henley gone.
22:09Oh, well, that's another thing.
22:14I was hearing whisperings about the two of them.
22:17Mila and Coach Henley?
22:19Mm-hmm.
22:20There was some suggestion that they were meeting on the side for extracurricular activities.
22:27I'm saying that they may have actually been-
22:28Oh no, I got it. I got it. I got it.
22:30Okay.
22:31Well, I'll see you after school.
22:32Okay.
22:33Okay.
22:35I don't see how this is relevant.
22:37Come on, Sam. Two chess team coaches from rival schools in a toured love affair.
22:41One suddenly goes missing.
22:42What does it matter if they're in a relationship?
22:44For starters, Mila's history of solving problems with violence.
22:47Also, just ethically, it's not a good look, which is probably why they kept it a secret.
22:51Is it really a secret if people are talking about it?
22:53Okay, so what's the next move?
22:54There is no next move. We just had this conversation.
22:57That was before I brought you a lead.
22:58That doesn't change anything. Look, I want you to stay away from the school and anyone associated with this.
23:03Stay away from Violet. You mean.
23:06Because that's actually what this is all about. You still think I'm a danger to her.
23:10I don't know if you're a danger to her.
23:12Look, if you would just let me in.
23:13We have talked about this, Sam.
23:14I know. I guess I thought if enough time passed, maybe you would change your mind.
23:17And I thought that if enough time passed, you'd finally start to appreciate the person I am now,
23:21instead of fixating on the person I used to be.
23:23But I guess we were both wrong.
23:36Don't do it. Just keep on walking.
23:44You're Mila Bancroft, right?
23:46I am.
23:48I'm an admirer of yours.
23:50Seems you're not my only fan.
23:52Richard Leland just offered me a coaching job.
23:54But you're already coaching a team.
23:57And we are quickly rising in the rankings, which is likely why Leland was hoping to convince me to switch sides.
24:02But I'm happy where I am.
24:05Though I do sympathize that those kids lost their own coach so abruptly.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Did you and Coach Henley get along well?
24:14Well enough.
24:16Good man.
24:17Over the adversary.
24:20The adversary, yes.
24:21It's interesting.
24:25Why do you say it like that?
24:27It's just a rumor that I heard.
24:32I am well aware of those disgusting rumors.
24:35But that's all they are.
24:36I would never risk harming my reputation further by getting involved with a fellow coach.
24:41Feel free to spread that around.
24:44Pushing buttons and hitting nerves.
24:47All in a day's work.
24:53Okay.
24:54Try now?
24:55Okay.
24:59Still nothing.
24:59You know, I was gonna ask you.
25:06How would you feel about being a chaperone at the dance, huh?
25:09I don't think that's a good idea.
25:11Oh.
25:13You already signed me up, didn't you?
25:15I did.
25:15Oh, yeah.
25:17Hey!
25:18No, you have to alternate the colors of the balloons.
25:21Blue, light, blue.
25:22You know what?
25:23Stop, stop, stop, stop.
25:24I will just do it myself.
25:25Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
25:26Hey, bye.
25:30So, do you have a date for the dance yet?
25:32Not yet.
25:34I keep dropping hints to Kyle, but it's like he just doesn't quite understand the assignment.
25:38Well, have you considered asking him?
25:41I thought about it.
25:42But what if he says no?
25:44If he says no, it's his loss.
25:46You're right.
25:49Um, I've been meaning to ask.
25:52Do you think maybe I could come back to the mistletoe?
25:56Just a few days a week, even.
25:58For the holidays?
25:59I will definitely take that into consideration.
26:02Can you, I think all these bulbs are faulty.
26:04I might have more in my car, though.
26:11I tried to convince him to take a leave of absence instead,
26:13but he said this was for the best.
26:15And he didn't elaborate on the reason?
26:16Well, just what's in the letter.
26:18A family member acquired full-time care.
26:21He seemed out of sorts at all to you?
26:23He did seem a little anxious, which was unusual.
26:26You know if anyone else was in the building that night?
26:28It was later in the evening.
26:30I typically work until about eight,
26:32and the only other people here most nights are the custodial staff.
26:35Any security cameras?
26:36Not inside, though.
26:37We take student privacy seriously.
26:39There's a camera at the main entrance and at the side exits, but that's it.
26:42Tim wasn't just a teacher here.
26:45He's also a friend.
26:46I have to ask.
26:48Should I be concerned?
26:51I hope not.
26:52I feel awful pushing Violet away,
26:56but Sam has made his position clear, and he's not wrong.
26:59As long as Chimera remains a threat, I'll never be totally safe.
27:02Man, you left yourself right away.
27:03You think you're better than me?
27:04It's wonderful.
27:05Don't teach me how to play chess.
27:06All right?
27:06Shane, this is important to me, okay?
27:08I need the scholarship.
27:09You don't deserve it, man.
27:10You shouldn't even still be on the team right now.
27:11Guys, guys, guys, break it up.
27:12Break it up.
27:13That's enough.
27:13That's enough.
27:15Hey, stop this right now.
27:17He started it.
27:18My office.
27:20Both of you.
27:24Now!
27:30What happened?
27:31It is both.
27:32He started it.
27:42Sam, wait.
27:42You're not going to ask me what I'm doing here?
27:45Nope.
27:45Well, I'm going to tell you anyway.
27:46Brooke asked me to come so you can blame her.
27:48I'm going to go with Leland.
27:49Is the resignation letter legit?
27:50I'll let the lab determine that.
27:52Great.
27:52Thanks for the sparkling conversation.
27:54Look, I am trying to stay calm, but once again,
27:56you've Emilyed your way into my investigation.
27:57You wouldn't even have an investigation if I hadn't brought this to you.
27:59Did you obviously just use my name as a verb?
28:02Wilner.
28:02I should probably tell Sam what Shane said to Kyle during their argument,
28:06you shouldn't still be on the team.
28:08But I'm not sure it's connected to Coach Henley.
28:10And I don't think Violet would appreciate me drawing Sam's attention
28:12to Kyle without good reason.
28:14All right.
28:15Well, let's get forensics out to Newark ASAP and keep the ASOs away from it.
28:19Thanks.
28:19Did you track down Henley?
28:21Not yet.
28:22ASO, airport safety officer.
28:24You found his car at Newark airport.
28:26That's an eight hour drive from here.
28:28If he was in a rush to help a family member,
28:29why not fly out to somewhere closer like, like Buffalo?
28:31Great question.
28:32Wait, if you're bringing in forensics, there must be a reason.
28:34You found something in the car, didn't you?
28:36What was it?
28:37Was it an ear?
28:38Was it a finger?
28:38His suitcase was still in the trunk.
28:40Oh, that's a pretty big red flag.
28:41I need to get back to the station.
28:51I thought throwing myself into my work would help distract me from getting involved in Sam's case,
28:56but my mind is going to go where it goes.
28:59I'm just along for the ride.
29:02Oh, shoot.
29:10The angry words between Kyle and Shane keep replaying in my head.
29:14Kyle's clearly the top player, so what did Shane mean when he said Kyle shouldn't be on the team?
29:20If Kyle's scholarship opportunity was threatened, it could lead to him doing something desperate.
29:24Oh, I hope that's not the case.
29:26Violet is clearly crushing on him.
29:29I was her age once.
29:30I know that feeling.
29:35Get away from me, Zeke.
29:36What's your problem?
29:37I just want to see your computer.
29:38I said no.
29:39Stop.
29:39Give me that.
29:39Give me it.
29:39Stop.
29:40Give me it.
29:40Come on.
29:41Enough.
29:41I'm not asking permission.
29:42Give me that.
29:42I said get away from me, Zeke.
29:44Get away.
29:44Give me it.
29:45Give me it.
29:45Why am I not surprised you freaks stick together?
30:00Greek mythology.
30:02Cool.
30:04Big fan of the Minotaur myself.
30:07And more of a Medusa girl.
30:12Hey, uh, I have to go.
30:16Sure.
30:33Nice of you to join us, Aaron.
30:39Emily.
30:39I wanted to let you know.
30:41I've decided to take your advice.
30:42Great.
30:43About what?
30:44You know, asking Kyle to the nurse.
30:47Of course.
30:48Sorry.
30:48I'm, um, I'm just a little...
30:49Here, let me help.
30:51Uh, okay.
30:54Oh, hi.
30:55All right.
30:57Hey, so were Kyle and Mr. Henley close?
30:59Mr. Henley was a fan.
31:01Yeah.
31:01Kyle was failing English earlier in the semester and almost lost his bond on the chess team.
31:06That's why Mr. Henley asked me to tutor him.
31:08Hmm.
31:08He didn't want to lose his best player, huh?
31:11It's more than that.
31:13He knows Kyle's home life isn't the easiest.
31:16Sorry to hear that.
31:17His mom's a single parent and she works long hours.
31:20I can relate to that.
31:22We talk about it a lot.
31:23But the difference is Kyle never even knew his dad.
31:27Merry Christmas.
31:31I really miss this.
31:32And don't even try to say you don't.
31:33I'm glad you reached out.
31:39I, uh, hope this is in regards to my offer.
31:42Uh, well, I actually haven't made a decision about the coaching position yet,
31:46but I did have a couple questions.
31:48Fire away.
31:49I heard that if a team member falls below a certain grade level,
31:53then they're no longer eligible to play.
31:55That's our policy.
31:56Education first.
31:58Right.
31:59To be candid, there are a few players hovering close to that line.
32:03Kyle Granger is one of them.
32:05He's turned around his average this past month.
32:07Oh, that's, that's good to hear.
32:09I mean, Kyle is, he is a rare talent.
32:12But as I said, it's no longer an issue.
32:16So what do you say?
32:17Well, I still have a few outside factors to consider,
32:20but I promise I will let you know soon.
32:23I'm not sure if Kyle's grades are what Shane was referring to in the argument,
32:27but it was nice to hear that Violet's tutoring is paying off.
32:30Kyle is so lucky to have her in his corner.
32:33Hello again.
32:34Hey.
32:34I just wanted to say thank you for helping out during the fight yesterday.
32:37It was, it was pretty good timing.
32:39Yeah, it's not the first time those two butted heads.
32:41Chess can get pretty tense.
32:43I'm Hollis, by the way.
32:44Oh, Emily.
32:46Nice to meet you.
32:46Oh, oh.
32:47Hey, jeez.
32:48Looks like our friend is back.
32:50That's weird.
32:50I left him in really good hands.
32:52No, why don't I go round him up?
32:53Great.
32:53Emily.
32:58I'm glad you called.
32:59I have a problem.
33:00Uh, does it have to do with a certain four-legged friend?
33:02Yes.
33:03I put him in the backyard to get some fresh air and he must have jumped the fence.
33:07Wait, how did you know that?
33:08Uh, well, he's here at the high school as we speak.
33:10Oh, God.
33:13Something must be familiar to him there.
33:15Good news is he has a chip.
33:16His name is Clyde.
33:17I've been trying to get a hold of his owner, Tim Henley.
33:21Tim Henley?
33:22That's what the chip said.
33:24Um, I gotta call you later, okay?
33:33Hey, we're down here.
33:36He was pawing at the door, so I let him in.
33:37He made a beeline here and he just stopped.
33:40It's Coach Henley's dog.
33:42What?
33:43For kidding, he abandoned him?
33:44It's not like Tim.
33:46I think he smells something familiar.
33:49I mean, on the floor.
33:50Or through it.
33:51I mean, dogs can pick up a scent 10 miles away, even from outside.
33:55Something drew him here.
34:02Wait.
34:04This, this part of the floor looks new.
34:06When was it laid?
34:06Uh, it was part of a renovation project.
34:10They did the leveling and digging a few weeks ago,
34:12but they just poured the concrete a few days ago.
34:15Come on.
34:20Sam, I think I found Tim Henley.
34:28It's coming on Christmas, and you have to leave.
34:41So I got to thinking what it all means to me.
34:46Hey.
34:48Hey.
34:49Can I come in?
34:50Yeah.
34:51Ground penetrating radar confirmed your suspicion.
34:53There's a body underneath the floor.
34:55Excavation's happening now.
34:57It's Henley.
34:57His dog tracked him there.
34:59Where's Clyde now?
35:00He's been returned to June's care for the time being.
35:03I, uh, I haven't told Violet yet.
35:07She's gonna be devastated.
35:08Let me put on some tea for you.
35:14Thanks.
35:18You know, Violet is so strong.
35:20She'll, she'll be okay.
35:23No, I know.
35:24She's just, uh, she's never lost anyone before.
35:30Not like this.
35:34Oh, I was looking for that.
35:37I'm slipping.
35:38That was careless.
35:39Something you're working on?
35:41Uh, just some order codes for suppliers
35:43I'm thinking of using for the shop.
35:45Actually, you know, while you're here,
35:46can you help me out with something?
35:48I can't quite reach the top.
36:00Sure.
36:00What do you think of you?
36:14It's perfect.
36:14All for Christmas under my tree.
36:38This is really good.
36:39I don't think you even need my help anymore.
36:41You're done with me already, huh?
36:43I didn't say that.
36:45I just can't believe they're opening the school so soon.
36:50I only found Coach Henley a few days ago.
36:52I know.
36:54My dad says that's normal.
36:55Once the forensics is done, they...
36:58Sorry.
36:59You don't want to hear this.
37:00Oh, no, no, I don't mind.
37:02I like listening to you.
37:03Oh.
37:06Oh.
37:07Emily, I'll get your coffee.
37:09I got it.
37:10You just relax.
37:11But I'm not on break.
37:12I said I got it.
37:18It's just been through so much.
37:20I can't imagine how hard it must be.
37:23As painful as it is, it's a good lesson for them to learn.
37:26In the end, death comes for us all.
37:30Oh, fresh baked cookies just out of the oven.
37:32What do you say?
37:33I'm good, thanks.
37:36Emily, I am so glad I bumped into you.
37:39I just got word from the school board that the snowflake
37:42semi-formal is still on, so save the date.
37:45The dance is still going ahead?
37:47Well, I had to twist some arms, but I was able to convince the board
37:52that you kids need this now more than ever.
37:54It will be dedicated to the memory of Mr. Henley.
37:57He really would have loved that.
37:59He wouldn't have wanted us to be sad.
38:00It's what we all loved about him.
38:21That doesn't look too friendly.
38:22Well, thanks for your help, Violet.
38:40Um, actually, there's something I wanted to ask you.
38:45Okay, but can I go first?
38:47I've been meaning to, um, you know, now that the dance is back on, I didn't know if, uh,
38:51maybe, only if you wanted to, you could...
38:53Yes.
38:54Really?
38:55What took you so long?
39:01Dad.
39:02Um, there's someone I want you to meet.
39:05Kyle Granger.
39:05That's right.
39:06You need to come with me.
39:07Your mom will meet us at the station.
39:08Sam, Dad.
39:10We can discuss this later, all right?
39:11Well, it's about Sam.
39:12Dad, please.
39:13You're wanted for questioning in regard to the murder of Tim Henley.
39:15No, I didn't do anything wrong.
39:16Dad!
39:16We can talk about it at the station, all right?
39:18Let's go.
39:21It's okay.
