00:00that's ready to run.
00:01I 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?
00:13Tell me you haven't been lying to me.
00:14Who are you, really?
00:24I can't tell you.
00:26I'm sorry.
00:28If you're in witness protection...
00:29No, it's more complicated than that.
00:30Please, just let it go.
00:32If you could just assure me...
00:34Just stop.
00:36Please.
00:37I can't.
00:40Can't or won't?
00:51I guess I have my answer then.
00:53Sam, I...
01:00I really wish we could have gone for that walk in the snow.
01:12Merry Christmas, Emily.
01:13I won't lie.
01:37I thought about leaving.
01:38I thought about leaving.
01:38Just packing up my cats and my computer and my comfortable pajamas and starting over in
01:43some other small town.
01:44But I love it here.
01:47I love my shop.
01:48I love the people.
01:49I even love the cold.
01:50And what's to say things will be any better somewhere else?
01:54Knowing me, I'd just find some inventive new way to mess up a good thing.
01:58This is gonna happen, okay?
02:06We're gonna lose some times.
02:07It's all right.
02:08Oh, judging 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.
02:18Milkshakes are on the house.
02:19Hey!
02:20Thanks, Steve.
02:22Look at that.
02:25You okay, Kyle?
02:26I just don't understand what happened.
02:27We never lose to East Creek.
02:29My focus has been way off.
02:31I'm so distracted by schoolwork.
02:34Sorry.
02:35Oh, no, no, no, no.
02:36I don't...
02:36I don't meet you.
02:38Have you lost without your help?
02:40Um, you have your books with you?
02:43Yeah.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Here.
02:45Here we go.
02:46Wait.
02:48Is that the new Run Run Himari volume?
02:50Yeah, I picked it up at the new anime store next to the skateshopping place.
02:53Okay, I have to know.
02:53Does Himari finally...
02:55Wait.
02:56No distractions.
02:58School stuff first, and then I want a page-by-page recap.
03:00Deal.
03:04Let me guess.
03:05Large coffee, black.
03:06Thank you very much.
03:07Yes, please.
03:08I'll brew you a fresh pot.
03:10Violet, break's over.
03:12We'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.
03:18Ugh.
03:19Normal's overrated.
03:20Losing Violet at the mistletoe was a painful consequence of what I'm calling the Christmas Eve catastrophe.
03:25Without knowing my situation, Sam didn't feel safe having her in my immediate orbit.
03:31And 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.
03:43Oh, I, 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 I will 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.
04:23You 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.
04:57Oh.
04:58And 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.
05:19Hello, 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.
05:36Have a good night.
05:37Sure.
05:37We're friendly to each other on the occasions we cross paths, and we've had many chances
05:41to clear the air, but we never did.
05:45Oh, 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.
05:58All right.
05:59Thanks for letting me know.
06:00I just wanted to know.
06:02Bye-bye.
06:03Bye-bye.
06:04Bye-bye.
06:15Bye-bye.
06:24Wait.
06:24Bye.
06:25Bye-bye.
06:28Come on.
06:29My God.
06:59Good news, I found another one.
07:11What?
07:13June!
07:14Hey!
07:15Wow.
07:16Lily, it is bustling in here.
07:18I know.
07:19You're gonna need to hire some extra help.
07:20Oh, God, I know.
07:21I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
07:23Oh, well, are we still on for dinner?
07:24I understand if you need to cancel.
07:26No, absolutely not.
07:27No, let me just finish up with these last few customers,
07:29and then we'll be good to go.
07:30Okay.
07:31Okay.
07:32This is so nice.
07:34I didn't realize how much I needed this.
07:36Right?
07:37The problem is, I share my clinic with my house,
07:39so 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.
07:48I will drink to that.
07:50Great job today, Violet.
07:51You want something to eat before you go?
07:53I'm good, thanks.
07:54My dad's on his way.
07:57What's your reading over there?
07:58That book about chess?
08:00I didn't know you had an interest, did I?
08:02Oh, 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.
08:22Yeah, okay.
08:23Although, I am kind of hoping he asks me to the Snowflakes semi-formal next week.
08:31But don't say anything to dad.
08:33The last time he saw a boy talking to me, he 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.
08:42Really?
08:43Yeah, I mean, I was no grandmaster or anything, but I held my own.
08:46Violet?
08:47Oh, dad.
08:51Ladies?
08:52Can I drive, please?
08:54Maybe on the side roads.
08:55Oh, we have our side roads.
09:00She's quite the smitten kitten.
09:02And Kyle is crazy about who, too.
09:04He's in here so much during her shifts, I should charge him rent.
09:12Hello.
09:13Hi.
09:17Okay.
09:18I was careless in my search for Chimera last year, and very nearly brought them right to my doorstep.
09:31Since then, I've replaced my hard drive and built an improved firewall to ensure nobody can pinpoint my location.
09:37Now I'm mostly focused on tracking sites associated with Chimera, rather than poking the bear directly.
09:44So, what have I discovered?
09:46Gotcha.
09:47Mostly that Chimera is being as careful as I am.
09:50But the last few months, I've noticed an uptick in their activity, which makes me uneasy and triggers some bad memories.
10:00I'd much rather bury my head in the snow and pretend Chimera isn't still a threat.
10:05But I can't let myself get complacent.
10:08Not again.
10:09Bye.
10:25혹시?
10:26See ya.
10:27It's been a while since I've been by.
10:28I miss it.
10:29Well, my loss is Sue's gain.
10:30Well, my loss is Sue's gain.
10:31She told me what a great job you're doing.
10:33She's lying.
10:35Can I ask a favor?
10:37I'm on the decorating committee for the semi-formal,
10:39and I was hoping you might have some decorations
10:41you'd be willing to donate.
10:42Yeah, I'm sure I could figure something out.
10:44I'll take a look.
10:45Thanks.
10:45Yeah.
10:47Oh, and, 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?
10:56Maybe, but he's gone.
10:58What do you mean, gone?
11:00The day after we met him at the diner,
11:02he didn't show up for school,
11:03and he hasn't been back since.
11:05Kyle says the chess team is really struggling without him.
11:08Oh, he can't. He's just vanished.
11:09Our vice principal told us that he resigned unexpectedly
11:12to take care of a sick relative or something,
11:14but I can't believe that he'd just leave
11:17without saying goodbye to his students like that.
11:19It's very unlike him.
11:20Yeah, it does seem unusual.
11:21Oh, I'm going to be late.
11:23You'll go back to me about those decorations?
11:25Yes, absolutely.
11:26Thanks, Sam. You're the best.
11:28It was easy enough to find Tim Henley's address online,
11:39even 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
11:45to tell me that in addition to a guilty conscience
11:47for ending Violet's employment so abruptly,
11:49I also feel bad that she's now lost
11:52someone important in her life.
12:00Mail's piling up.
12:02Nobody's been here for days.
12:04Maybe he's had to leave town,
12:06but then why leave the Christmas lights on like this?
12:08Something feels very wrong here.
12:20You don't think a missing teacher
12:22is worthy of investigation?
12:24Missing's an overstatement.
12:25Look, if he handed in his resignation letter,
12:27it doesn't exactly scream foul play.
12:29I am telling you, there was zero indication
12:31that he was on the brink of walking away.
12:32I don't know if he was on the brink of walking away.
12:34Okay. I'll look into it.
12:36Great. Thank you.
12:38How's everything else?
12:41You doing okay?
12:42Yeah. Yeah.
12:44Um, Christmas stories keep me busy.
12:48Good.
12:51I know we haven't, um...
12:53I want you to know I regret
12:57how we left things.
12:58I was caught off guard
13:00and I didn't handle it well.
13:03Um...
13:04I probably could have
13:06handled things differently, too.
13:08That's not to say I don't still have questions.
13:11And I'm still not comfortable
13:12answering those questions.
13:17Great.
13:18See ya.
13:19Bye.
13:28Hello.
13:53It's been a long time
13:54since I've set foot in a high school.
13:56A lifetime, really.
13:57And as different as my experience was,
13:59there's still something very familiar.
14:02The sounds, the smells.
14:04It's like I'm being transported back in time.
14:13Excuse me.
14:14I'm looking for the residence building.
14:16I'm looking for the residence building.
14:23Hello.
14:27Everyone take your seats quietly, please.
14:46There's a seat right up here.
14:47I like your computer.
14:54The processing speed on that model is incredible.
14:57You know computers?
14:58I have a customized PC back home.
15:00It's an older model,
15:01but I've been working on upgrading it.
15:06I'm Grace.
15:07Good to know.
15:09I'm Aaron.
15:16Class is starting.
15:18Computer away now, please.
15:23It was the best of times.
15:25It was the worst of times.
15:26I don't think Charles Dickens was referring to high school
15:29when he wrote that,
15:30but he may as well have been.
15:31Emily!
15:33Ray!
15:34What?
15:34Merry Christmas.
15:37Oh, are we starting out already?
15:38We're barely into December.
15:39Oh, it's never too early
15:40to wish someone a Merry Christmas.
15:41I'll take your word for it.
15:42What brings you here?
15:43I sponsored the chess team.
15:45I was just dropping off their new team jackets.
15:47You like?
15:48Seems a little niche.
15:49No?
15:50It's not exactly Friday Night Lights.
15:51Well, have you know that the chess team
15:52has a long and storied tradition?
15:54Five times regional champs
15:56of the last decade alone.
15:57I stand corrected.
15:59Do you know where the gym is?
16:00Down the hall to the right.
16:01Tell them Famous Ray sent you.
16:02You really can't turn it off, can you?
16:05Merry Christmas, Emily.
16:06Oh, hey, you're right.
16:08Maybe it's not too early.
16:08Hmm.
16:09Hmm.
16:31Odin's Meat.
16:33Well played.
16:33You know yourself.
16:37I don't think we've met.
16:38I'm Richard Leland,
16:39vice principal and interim coach.
16:41Emily Lane, observer.
16:43Are you a family member, or...?
16:45No, I just came to drop off
16:46this box of decorations
16:47for the dance committee,
16:48but I got turned around.
16:49Well, I can take that for you.
16:50Oh, great. Thanks.
16:51This match will be wrapping up soon anyway.
16:53That was over two moves ago.
16:55Bishop to age six.
16:56Checkmate.
17:03Begin.
17:03Okay.
17:08You know, the, uh,
17:09the team could use a seasoned hand
17:11in that corner.
17:11This isn't really my forte.
17:13My son Shane convinced me
17:15after our longtime coach
17:16left the school.
17:16It was unexpected?
17:18The coach leaving?
17:19I was completely blindsided.
17:20He really let these kids down.
17:22But it does leave us in the market
17:24for a new coach.
17:25The team plays in competition
17:27twice a week after school,
17:28and the practices are flexible.
17:29What do you say?
17:30I, I can't.
17:31I'm sorry.
17:32Well, if you change your mind,
17:33you know where to find me.
17:34Yeah.
17:35Nice to meet you.
17:38Kyle.
17:39Thanks, sir.
17:40I have to admit,
17:41I'm tempted by the vice principal's offer.
17:44If things weren't so complicated,
17:46I might have even taken him up on it.
17:48Oh.
17:52That was close.
17:59Sam almost saw me.
18:01Wait, why am I even hiding from him?
18:03I have every right to be here.
18:05Guilty reflex, I guess.
18:19Oh.
18:20Hey.
18:20Where'd you come from?
18:22Is there a person in there?
18:23Huh?
18:24I think he's a stray.
18:26I've seen him around the last couple days,
18:27just didn't have the heart
18:28to call animal services.
18:29Yeah, he's got no collar.
18:32I think I know just who you need.
18:35I mean, he's hungry,
18:41but otherwise healthy.
18:43I'll take him back to my clinic
18:44for a more thorough checkup
18:45and a hot meal.
18:46If we're lucky,
18:47he'll have a chip
18:47with his owner's information on it.
18:49I keep him here,
18:51but Moseley and Doyle
18:52weren't too thrilled
18:53with the idea of another roommate.
18:54Had to lock him in my bedroom
18:55just to keep the peace.
18:57Oh, it's okay.
18:58I've got the space.
19:00Plus,
19:01it'd be kind of nice
19:01to have the company.
19:02Yeah,
19:03even if it's just for a day or two.
19:08You're getting a late start
19:09to your decorating?
19:10Yeah, I've been a little distracted.
19:14Anything you want to talk about?
19:20Hey, Sam.
19:21What's up?
19:26Thanks for coming.
19:27Everything okay?
19:29That depends.
19:31You want to tell me
19:32what you were doing
19:32at the high school this afternoon?
19:34I saw your car in the lot
19:36when I went to talk
19:36to the staff about Violet's teacher.
19:38What'd you find out?
19:40Okay, fine.
19:41Violet came to see me today
19:43to ask if I had any decorations
19:45I could donate for the dance.
19:46I went to the school
19:46to drop them off.
19:47That's it.
19:48Your turn.
19:51All right.
19:52Hanley's a popular guy.
19:53His peers seem pretty disappointed.
19:55He left.
19:55A 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.
19:59I'm meeting with
19:59the vice principal tomorrow.
20:01Look, the point is
20:01I've got it handled.
20:03Fine.
20:04Look, I may not fully know
20:05your circumstances,
20:06but I'm pretty sure
20:07you came here
20:07to keep your head down
20:08and start fresh.
20:09The more you get involved
20:10in things that don't concern you,
20:12the more you put yourself
20:13and possibly others at risk.
20:28Merry Christmas.
20:30Thanks for coming in.
20:31Emily.
20:32Hi.
20:33Brooke, what can I do for you?
20:35I was just in the area
20:36and thought I would pop by
20:37to say thank you
20:38for the Christmas decorations
20:39you donated for the school dance.
20:41Exactly.
20:42Well, I head up
20:42the decorating committee.
20:44Isn't that a student-led committee?
20:47Technically.
20:48I first accepted the position
20:49when I was a student.
20:51After I graduated,
20:52I intended to hand over the reins
20:53to someone with the same
20:55drive and passion,
20:56but I just never found them.
20:59Anyway,
21:00what are those strings of lights
21:02that you brought over
21:03isn't working?
21:03And I was just wondering
21:04if maybe you had a replacement?
21:05Oh, it's probably
21:06just a faulty bulb.
21:07You just had to figure out
21:08which one it is
21:08and switch it out.
21:09Perfect.
21:10If you could come by
21:10after school
21:11and take care of that,
21:12that would be wonderful.
21:14Yeah, I could do that.
21:16I knew I could count on you.
21:18Actually, you know what?
21:20Hang on a second.
21:21If you spend some time
21:22at the school,
21:23you probably know a little bit
21:24about what goes on there, right?
21:26Try me.
21:27Okay.
21:28Um, I don't know.
21:29Let me see.
21:30Any good intel
21:31on the chess team?
21:32Well, I know the top players
21:34are in line for scholarships.
21:35Very competitive.
21:37And I also know
21:37that our team
21:38is in some trouble this year
21:39thanks to East Creek
21:40bringing in a ringer
21:41for their coach.
21:42Do tell.
21:43Mila Bancroft.
21:46As I understand it,
21:47she was a former prodigy,
21:49but she was blacklisted
21:50from competition
21:50when she was still a student.
21:52But do you know why?
21:53She hired someone
21:56to rough up her opponent
21:58so they'd miss the match
21:59and she would win by default.
22:01It was a big scandal at the time.
22:03I mean, I guess everyone's
22:04entitled to a second chance.
22:07But with Mr. Henley gone.
22:09Oh, well,
22:11that's another thing.
22:14I was hearing whisperings
22:16about the two of them.
22:18Mila and Coach Henley?
22:19Mm-hmm.
22:20There was some suggestion
22:21that they were meeting
22:22on the side
22:22for extracurricular activities.
22:27I'm saying that they may have actually...
22:28Oh, no, I got it.
22:29I got it.
22:29I 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.
22:38Two chess team coaches
22:39from rival schools
22:40in a torrid love affair.
22:41One suddenly goes missing.
22:42What does it matter
22:43if they're in a relationship?
22:44For starters,
22:45Mila's history
22:45of solving problems with violence.
22:47Also, just ethically,
22:49it's not a good look,
22:50which is probably why
22:50they kept it a secret.
22:51Is it really a secret?
22:52If people are talking about it.
22:53Okay, so what's the next move?
22:54There is no next move.
22:56We just had this conversation.
22:57That was before
22:57I brought you a lead.
22:59That doesn't change anything.
23:00Look, I want you to stay away
23:02from the school
23:02and anyone associated with this.
23:03Stay away from Violet.
23:05You mean.
23:06Because that's actually
23:07what this is all about.
23:08You still think
23:09I'm a danger to her.
23:10I don't know
23:10if you're a danger to her.
23:12Look, if you would just let me in.
23:13We have talked about this, Sam.
23:15I guess I thought
23:16if enough time passed,
23:17maybe you would change your mind.
23:17And I thought
23:18that if enough time passed,
23:19you'd finally start
23:20to appreciate the person
23:20I am now
23:21instead of fixating
23:22on the person I used to be.
23:23But I guess we were both wrong.
23:24Don't do it.
23:42Just keep on walking.
23:44You're Mila Bancroft, right?
23:47I am.
23:49I'm an admirer of yours.
23:51Seems you're not my only fan.
23:53Richard Leland
23:53just offered me a coaching job.
23:55But you're already coaching a team.
23:57And we are quickly rising
23:58in the rankings,
23:59which is likely why Leland
24:00was hoping to convince me
24:01to switch sides.
24:02But I'm happy where I am.
24:05Though I do sympathize
24:06that those kids lost
24:07their own coach so abruptly.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Did you and Coach Henley
24:13get along well?
24:14Well enough.
24:16Good man.
24:17Over the adversary.
24:20Adversary, 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
24:33disgusting rumors.
24:34Oh.
24:35But that's all they are.
24:36I would never risk
24:37harming my reputation further
24:38by getting involved
24:39with a fellow coach.
24:41Feel free to spread that around.
24:44Pushing buttons and hitting nerves.
24:47All in a day's work.
24:48Okay, try now?
24:55Okay.
24:58Still nothing.
25:02You know, I was gonna ask you,
25:05how would you feel
25:07about being a chaperone
25:08at the dance, huh?
25:09I don't think that's a good idea.
25:12How?
25:13You already signed me up,
25:14didn't you?
25:15I did.
25:15Oh.
25:16Yeah.
25:17Hey!
25:18No, you have to alternate
25:20the colors of the balloons.
25:21Blue, white, blue.
25:23You know what?
25:23Stop.
25:24Stop, stop, stop.
25:24I will just do it myself.
25:25Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
25:27Hey, bye.
25:30So, do you have a date
25:31for the dance yet?
25:32Not yet.
25:34I keep dropping hints to Kyle,
25:35but it's like he just doesn't quite
25:37understand the assignment.
25:39Well, have you considered asking him?
25:41I thought about it.
25:43But what if he says no?
25:44If he says no, it's his loss.
25:47You're right.
25:49Um, I've been meaning to ask.
25:52Do you think maybe I could come back
25:54to the mistletoe?
25:56Just a few days a week, even.
25:58For the holidays?
25:59I will definitely take that
26:01into consideration.
26:02I think all these bulbs are faulty.
26:04I might have more in my car.
26:05Oh.
26:11I tried to convince him
26:12to take a leave of absence instead,
26:13but he said this was for the best.
26:15And he didn't elaborate on the reason?
26:17Well, 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,
26:25which was unusual.
26:27You know if anyone else
26:27was in the building that night?
26:29It was later in the evening.
26:30I typically work until about 8,
26:32and the only other people here most nights
26:33are the custodial staff.
26:34Any security cameras?
26:36Not inside, though.
26:37We take student privacy seriously.
26:39There's a camera at the main entrance
26:40and at the side exits,
26:42but that's it.
26:44Tim wasn't just a teacher here.
26:46He's also a friend.
26:46I have to ask.
26:48Should I be concerned?
26:49I hope not.
26:53I feel awful pushing Violet away,
26:56but Sam has made his position clear,
26:58and he's not wrong.
26:59As long as Chimera remains a threat,
27:01I'll never be totally safe.
27:02You left yourself wide.
27:03Oh, I, you think you're better than me?
27:04It's one of...
27:05Don't teach me how to play chess, all right?
27:07Shane, 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.
27:12Guys, guys, break it up.
27:12Break it up.
27:13That's enough.
27:13That's enough.
27:15Hey, stop this right now.
27:16He started it.
27:19My office.
27:20Both of you.
27:24Now!
27:30What happened?
27:31It's his fault.
27:32He started it.
27:42Sam, wait.
27:43You'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.
27:53Thanks for the sparkling conversation.
27:54Look, I am trying to stay calm,
27:55but once again,
27:56you've Emilyed your way into my investigation.
27:58You wouldn't even have an investigation
27:58if I hadn't brought this to you.
28:00Did you honestly just use my name as a verb?
28:02Wilner.
28:03I should probably tell Sam
28:04what 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
28:12drawing Sam's attention to Kyle without good reason.
28:14All right.
28:15Well, let's get forensics out to Newark ASAP
28:17and keep the ASOs away from it.
28:19Thanks.
28:20Did you track down Henley?
28:21Not yet.
28:22ASO.
28:23Airport 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,
28:31like Buffalo?
28:32Great question.
28:32Wait, if you're bringing in forensics,
28:33there must be a reason.
28:35You 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
28:53would help distract me
28:54from 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, jeez.
29:04Shoot.
29:04The angry words between Kyle and Shane
29:12keep replaying in my head.
29:15Kyle's clearly the top player,
29:16so what did Shane mean
29:17when he said Kyle shouldn't be on the team?
29:20If Kyle's scholarship opportunity was threatened,
29:22it could lead to him doing something desperate.
29:25I hope that's not the case.
29:26Violet is clearly crushing on him.
29:29I was her age once.
29:30I know that feeling.
29:34Get away from me, Z.
29:36What's your problem?
29:37I just want to see your computer.
29:38I said no.
29:38Give me that.
29:39Stop.
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.
29:43I said get away from me, Z.
29:44Get away from me.
29:45Give me it.
29:45Give me it.
29:50Why am I not surprised
29:51you feet stick together?
30:00Greek mythology.
30:02Cool.
30:04Big fan of the Minotaur myself.
30:07And more of a Medusa girl.
30:12I, uh, I have to go.
30:17Sure.
30:17Nice of you to join us, Aaron.
30:39Emily, I wanted to let you know I've decided to take your advice.
30:42Great.
30:43About what?
30:44You know, asking Kyle to the news.
30:47Of course.
30:48Sorry.
30:48I'm, um, I'm just a little...
30:49Here.
30:50Let me help.
30:52Uh, okay.
30:54Oh, hi.
30:56All right.
30:57Hey, so were Kyle and Mr. Henley close?
31:00Mr. Henley was a fan.
31:01Yeah?
31:02Kyle was failing English earlier in the semester
31:04and almost lost his bond on the chess team.
31:06And that's why Mr. Henley asked me to tutor him.
31:09He 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.
31:21I can relate to that.
31:22We talk about it a lot.
31:23The difference is Kyle never even knew his dad.
31:27Merry Christmas!
31:28I really miss this.
31:32And don't even try to say you don't.
31:38I'm glad you reached out.
31:39I, uh, hope this is in regards to my offer.
31:42Uh, I actually haven't made a decision
31:45about the coaching position yet,
31:46but I did have a couple questions.
31:48Fire away.
31:49I heard that if a team member
31:51falls below a certain grade level,
31:53then they're no longer eligible to play.
31:55That's our policy.
31:57Education first.
31:58Right.
31:59To be candid,
32:00there 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?
32:17Uh, well, 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
32:25are what Shane was referring to in the argument.
32:27But it was nice to hear
32:28that Violet's tutoring is paying off.
32:31Kyle is so lucky to have her in his corner.
32:33Hello again.
32:34Hey.
32:35I just wanted to say thank you
32:36for helping out during the fight yesterday.
32:38It was, it was pretty good timing.
32:39Yeah, it's not the first time
32:40those two butted heads,
32:41chest can get pretty tense.
32:42I'm Hollis, by the way.
32:44Oh, Emily.
32:46Nice to meet you.
32:47Oh, oh, geez.
32:48It's 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.
32:58Emily, I'm glad you called.
33:00I have a problem.
33:00Does it have to do with a certain four-legged friend?
33:03Yes.
33:03I put him in the backyard to get some fresh air
33:05and he must have jumped the fence.
33:07Wait, how did you know that?
33:08Well, he's here at the high school as we speak.
33:11Oh, 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.
33:38He made a beeline here and he just stopped.
33:40It's Coach Henley's dog.
33:42What?
33:43Are you kidding?
33:43He abandoned him?
33:45It's not like Tim.
33:46I think he smells something familiar.
33:49I mean, on the floor.
33:50Or through it.
33:52Your dogs can pick up a scent ten miles away,
33:54even from outside.
33:55Something drew him here.
34:02Wait.
34:02This, this part of the floor looks new.
34:06When was it laid?
34:07Oh, it was part of a renovation project.
34:10They did the leveling and digging a few weeks ago,
34:13but they just poured the concrete a few days ago.
34:15Come on.
34:16Sam, I think I found Tim Henley.
34:28Sam, I think I found Tim Henley.
34:28It's coming on Christmas
34:35And you have to leave
34:40So I got to thinking
34:43What it all means to me
34:47Hey.
34:49Can I come in?
34:50Yeah.
34:51Ground penetrating radar confirmed your suspicion.
34:54There's a body underneath the floor.
34:55Excavation's happening now.
34:57It's Henley.
34:58His 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...
35:04I haven't told Violet yet.
35:07She's going to be devastated.
35:11Let me put on some tea for you.
35:14Thanks.
35:18You know,
35:18Violet is so strong.
35:21She'll, she'll be okay.
35:22No, I know.
35:24She's just, uh...
35:26She'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?
35:49I can't quite reach the top.
35:50Funny thing about Christmas
35:53It can fill your heart with light
35:57With family and laughter
36:00Sure.
36:02Shining all through the night
36:04I'm still missing you for Christmas
36:08Under my tree
36:11What do you think?
36:13It's perfect.
36:14It's perfect.
36:15It's perfect.
36:15It's perfect for Christmas
36:16Under my tree
36:18This is really good.
36:40I don't think you even need my help anymore.
36:41Done with me already, huh?
36:43I didn't say that.
36:47I just can't believe they're opening the school so soon.
36:50I only found Coach Emily a few days ago.
36:52I know.
36:54My dad says that's normal.
36:56Once the forensics is done, they...
36:57Sorry.
36:59You don't want to hear this.
37:00Oh, no, no.
37:00I don't mind.
37:02I like listening to you.
37:03Emily, 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.
37:18She's been through so much.
37:20I can't imagine how hard it must be.
37:22I know.
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.
37:36Well, Emily, I am so glad I bumped into you.
37:39I just got word from the school board
37:41that the snowflake semi-formal is still on,
37:43so save the date.
37:45The dance is still going ahead?
37:47Well, I had to twist some arms,
37:50but 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.
38:02It's what we all loved about him.
38:21That doesn't look too friendly.
38:24Well, thanks for your help, Violet.
38:40Um, actually,
38:42there's something I wanted to ask you.
38:45Okay, but can I go first?
38:47I've been meaning to.
38:48Um, you know, now that the dance is back on,
38:50I didn't know if, uh, maybe,
38:52only if you wanted to, we could...
38:53Yes.
38:54Really?
38:57What took you so long?
39:01Dad.
39:02Um, there's someone I want you to meet.
39:05Carl Granger.
39:06That's right.
39:06You need to come with me.
39:07Your mom will meet us at the station.
39:09Sam, Dad.
