Short filmTranscript
00:01Emily, this is Reed Donnelly, my mentor.
00:03What are you doing in town?
00:04Babysitting a bunch of paintings.
00:05Reed, Reed, no, no, no, no, no.
00:07This is a white rock crime.
00:08I'm aware I'm out of my jurisdiction.
00:10School's database with backdoor access.
00:12Who showed you how to do this?
00:13Self-taught.
00:14That's not the painting I saw on the truck.
00:16Hey, tell him what you told me.
00:31It's not the same painting.
00:32Well, maybe they showed you the wrong one on the truck.
00:34No, it was that painting.
00:36The subject and composition are the same, but the face is sort of different.
00:39It's hard to explain.
00:40But it was late at night. I mean, maybe it looked different in the dark.
00:43Maybe you don't appreciate who I am or what I do,
00:45but I know art. I have an eye for it.
00:47And that is not the same painting.
00:48All right, I need you to keep this to yourself for now.
00:50Will you make it worth my while?
00:52Do you enjoy not being in jail?
00:54Harrison. What'd you think? Was it worth the wait?
00:59I'm speechless.
01:00I knew you would be.
01:02If you'll excuse me.
01:05If Harrison's right and someone did swap out those paintings,
01:09that could be the reason why Reed was killed.
01:11I have to bring this to Meadows.
01:13No, that's just gonna open a whole can of worms.
01:15It changes the entire focus of the investigation. I can't withhold it from him.
01:19I guess it's your call.
01:21You okay? You seem a little tense.
01:24I'm sure it has nothing to do with learning he's been snooping around in my past.
01:28I just don't think it's fair how far we've come only to hand it off to another detective.
01:33This is about getting justice for Reed. I don't care who gets the link.
01:37As annoyed as I am, I can't deny he has a point there.
01:41That makes zero sense, Wilner.
01:46Why would somebody replace a painting with an imperfect forgery?
01:49That's the question.
01:50What did Moira Wells have to say about it?
01:52She didn't seem to indicate anything was wrong.
01:54Quite the opposite, in fact.
01:55Well, there you go. She's familiar with the painting. She wouldn't noticed any flaws.
01:59Maybe she's involved somehow.
02:01Are you even listening to yourself?
02:03Sam knows what he's talking about. You should be looking into this.
02:06I'm sorry, who are you?
02:08I run the local Christmas shop.
02:10She's done some consulting work for us in the past.
02:13I've heard enough. This is a waste of my time.
02:15Hey, I'm trying to help you.
02:17No, you are trying to convince yourself that your buddy Reed died a hero
02:20when everything points to this being a random robbery gone wrong.
02:23I haven't murdered herself. You have fun with whatever this is. Just stay out of my way.
02:36Well, I thought that went really well.
02:48As steamed as I am at him, Sam made a good point last night.
02:51If the self-portrait really is a fake, then Moira had to have noticed.
02:55Which would mean she's wrapped up in this somehow.
02:58It made me realize how little I really know about her.
03:01According to this article, Moira was put up for adoption as a newborn,
03:05but tracked down her birth mother, Catherine, eight years ago,
03:08which is when she discovered her grandmother was Angela Wells.
03:10Her previously floundering career as an artist got a major boost from that.
03:15Her birth mom passed away only a few years after they reunited.
03:19Complications from early onset Alzheimer's.
03:22I can only imagine how hard that must have been.
03:28The loss of my own parents changed the course of my life in ways I never could have predicted.
03:40Hi, everyone.
03:41Now, I hate to kick off the school year on such a negative note,
03:44but there's something I need to address, and I'm afraid it's quite serious.
03:48Now, it has been brought to my attention that someone was able to access the school's bank accounts
03:55and remove funds that were set aside for the senior class trip.
03:59That's really awful.
04:01The authorities have been alerted, and in their opinion,
04:04the responsible party would have required advanced coding knowledge
04:08in order to circumvent the bank's digital security protocols.
04:12Are you saying it was one of us?
04:14There's strong evidence to suggest that our school network was the origin point of the breach.
04:19Now, if anyone has anything they want to say to me, come speak to me privately then.
04:24Until this matter is settled, this program is discontinued.
04:31I can't believe she's blaming us.
04:33It is possible though, right?
04:34I mean, you did manage to get into the school database unnoticed.
04:36The bank can't be that much harder.
04:38Wait, do you think I did this?
04:40Of course not.
04:41I know you'd never do anything to hurt anybody, but if people found out what we've been up to,
04:47guilty or not, we'd be blamed.
04:49You're right.
04:50We should be careful.
04:52Thanks for coming.
04:53I needed someone to tell me I'm not crazy.
04:54Or that I am crazy.
04:55That works too.
04:56I'm happy to help.
04:57What is all this?
04:58A deep dive into the personal and professional life of Moira Wells.
04:59Wow.
05:00I guess I'm not the only one with Moira on the brain today.
05:04Guess how many paintings Moira sold back before she learned who her grandmother was.
05:05Never mind, I'll just tell you.
05:06Zero.
05:07Zilch.
05:08None.
05:09Zero.

06:02is lining up exactly with my own let's see if he's come to a similar conclusion you think that moira
06:08could be a fraud no i think she's definitely a fraud she got her own supposed grandmother's
06:13middle name wrong i think you might be onto something yes i knew you'd believe me still
06:18without any actual evidence i know i know i just i needed to get it out of my system
06:25as intriguing as this is it doesn't answer any of the questions surrounding reed's murder
06:31the smart thing to do would be to concentrate on the crime itself but that's easier said than done
06:38because moira wells is now living rent-free in my head
06:42emily what have you done why would you buy so many of these ornamental rabbits with santa house
06:52there must be two dozen in here i had a moment of weakness they're so cute hey did you figure out
06:58what to get kyle for christmas nope and i'm running out of time what gift says i like you a lot but
07:04definitely not in a weird desperate clingy way what about a shiny adorable rabbit wearing a cute
07:10little santa hat all that says is i used my staff discount well why don't you make him something
07:13yourself i'm so not crafty i once tried to make a macaroni bracelet but i didn't realize you weren't
07:19supposed to cook the macaroni hey dad hey bye emily are you free for a bit what's up harrison
07:28asked to meet up at the art space but he'll only talk to me if you're there i have no idea why
07:32because you are a grumpy cop and she is a nice lady
07:35bye would you mind watching the store i got it
07:40he didn't give you any indication of what this was about no you better not be wasting my time
07:48i'm still trying to figure out why someone would make it in perfect forgery
07:53maybe the forger lacked in skill that's possible i do have my moments
07:58help somebody help help
08:01what harrison
08:06he has a pulse but it's faint what happened i don't know i came out here to get some air
08:12and i just found him like this
08:13hey harrison come on come on harrison
08:18harrison's lucky you found him when you did
08:31yeah i know it's just everything is
08:33what do you mean what happened somebody destroyed my painting for the competition
08:38my canvas was cut all my supplies were scattered
08:41was anyone else targeted i don't think so it was it was just me
08:45it started to have a panic attack and so that's why i came out here
08:48harrison's stable but he hasn't regained consciousness
08:50his wallet and phone appear to be missing
08:53he was robbed in the middle of the day in a public space
08:56it's even more strange as the method
08:58attempted suffocation with a toxic substance
09:01i noticed he smelled of turpentine when we found him
09:05sam look
09:08leave it police are en route
09:11it looks like a painter's rag
09:13i'm guessing someone came up from behind harrison put it over his mouth till he passed out
09:17great
09:17so we have an entire art space full of suspects
09:20it's mine
09:22excuse me
09:23some artists prefer mineral spirits to clean their brushes but i find that turpentine works best
09:27whoever destroyed my painting must have taken it
09:31you again
09:34nothing to do with me i just called it in
09:36who found him
09:37i did
09:38and you christmas lady
09:41just along for the ride
09:42okay you stay you too wilner
09:44ride's over
09:45you can go now
09:47emily
09:58is it true what i'm hearing
10:00is harrison crane dead
10:02what no
10:03he's not out of the woods but yeah he's stable
10:06oh thank goodness i mean if he had died then they probably would have canceled the whole contest
10:10and then all of my work would have been for nothing
10:13well that and also it would have been so sad
10:18yeah um it where's june
10:19june went home to walk that dog of hers for like the third time already today
10:24i'm beginning to question her dedication to this project
10:26maybe i should have made you my model after all
10:29in fact
10:31they're still tied
10:32hiper is right to be upset
10:46this was very much intentional
10:48somebody is sending her a message
10:50hey
10:51sorry i didn't get to see the finished piece
10:56yeah me too
10:57how'd it go with the detective
11:00good yeah he took my statement and he released me
11:03your friend's still out there though
11:05wait you're not quitting the contest are you
11:12you know i have been a starving artist for such a long time and
11:16i think this is a sign it's time to give up that dream
11:18no if anything this is a sign that someone is incredibly jealous of your talent
11:23it's your decision but if you walk away now then
11:27they just get what they want
11:29yeah maybe
11:30or maybe they just don't like my art
11:32i don't know
11:33this feels personal
11:34have you looked into moira wells any further
11:42no i've exhausted all my resources
11:44why what's going on
11:45i think she may have just sabotaged another young artist's work
11:48i'd love to know why
11:49well you could always ask her yourself
11:51she's on her way over
11:52she's coming here now
11:53that's right i gave her a call to tell her i overreacted
11:57i suggested she come by for a drink in hopes of putting this whole misunderstanding behind us
12:01why would you do that
12:03it's the season of forgiveness
12:04more like the season of lying through your teeth
12:06what's your game dude
12:07trust me this is for the best
12:09moira i'm so glad you came i cannot tell you enough how sorry i am for my behavior
12:17you were way out of line but i'm happy to put this behind us
12:20have you met my friend emily
12:23we've crossed paths
12:26yeah the art space right
12:27yeah
12:28emily
12:30care to join us
12:31tempting uh but i gotta get back to my shop
12:34in case we don't cross paths again
12:36merry christmas
12:36merry christmas
12:37to burying the hatchet
12:43i'll drink to that
12:44back
12:50don't distract me
12:52i need to focus on this
12:53i hope noah knows what he's doing
12:56if his plan is to loosen moira up to get her to spill her secrets
12:59i'm not at all convinced she'll be so easily played
13:02hey sam
13:05i hope this isn't your one phone call from prison
13:10meadows was just puffing up his chest to prove he was in charge
13:13he mostly seemed curious about whether i knew if reed had anyone else besides benny on his payroll
13:17like who
13:18i don't know
13:19when i turned down the job reed mentioned he had another friend he could ask but
13:22i didn't get a name
13:24you think there was a third security guard that night
13:26it's possible
13:28when we talked to benny he mentioned turning down a second shift that reed needed to fill
13:32yeah that's right
13:33i think it's time benny and i had another little heart to heart
13:36he wasn't too eager to talk to you last time
13:38i can handle benny
13:39i'll let you know how it goes
13:41okay
13:41is that a paper snowflake?
13:51yeah i took your advice and i decided to make a gift for kyle
13:56okay
13:57moment of truth
13:58yeah
13:58let's do it
13:59i can't even make a snowflake
14:06in a way you made many snowflakes
14:09you're not helping
14:11you know what
14:11i believe in you
14:13okay
14:13here's what we're gonna do
14:16we are not leaving here until we have the perfect homemade gift
14:21i should probably call my dad and let him know i'm never coming home
14:24man why are you hassling me
14:28told you everything i know
14:32not everything
14:33what about the money?
14:35what money?
14:37the five bills harrison paid you to get a look at the painting
14:39yeah
14:41i know about that
14:42so did you and reed split it between yourselves or did you include the other guy?
14:48what other guy?
14:49the third security guard
14:51the friend reed hired to work the morning shift
14:53okay look reed mentioned that but i never saw anything
14:57for the record reed never took any of harrison's money
15:00he said that i needed it more
15:01he was good like that
15:03that much i believe
15:05i'm sorry i lied
15:07i was scared
15:09how about detective meadows?
15:13did you lie to him too?
15:14who?
15:15look you and your lady friend are the only other people who've been around here
15:18white rock pd haven't talked to you
15:20no i figured they were following their own leads
15:22and why would i put myself on their radar right?
15:25right
15:25let's gather on the fireplace

16:17um angela is buried here in town
16:19oh slow down there igor

20:59i have a friend in the lab i can call in a favor okay yes i know once again i'm falling back on
21:10department resources separating myself from the job is proven harder than i thought yeah don't sell
21:15yourself short that was some quick thinking back there things would have gone really bad really fast if
21:20you hadn't intervened thanks oh by the way harrison reached out he's been released from the hospital he
21:25wants to meet up with us in the morning if you're free i can move some things around
21:34i'm still extremely annoyed that sam has been digging into my past behind my back
21:39but i can't deny i'm enjoying this little rebellious streak he's on it's nice to see seeing the world
21:45from my point of view for a little while sometimes you gotta be a little bad in order to do good
21:50of course it can be a tricky balancing act and if you're not careful the darkness overshadows the
21:57light
22:05how quick i've been looking for you what i have a class the bell just just come
22:08what's going on is cambridge
22:27i overheard the police and apparently the money was found in a secret bank account under her name
22:31you just don't know what people are capable of
22:50i feel so much better what doesn't kill me makes me stronger
22:54to the tune of a hundred thousand new followers in the last 24 hours you're here to boast or you're
22:59here to talk okay moro's unveiling of the self-portrait is really bugging me i know what i saw on that
23:05truck but it's your word against moira's maybe but maybe not okay i told you that i tried to get a
23:11shot of the painting right here's the thing i did take a picture you have it here i didn't even realize
23:17i had until i was editing some videos for my channel it's a little dark and blurry but it's all still
23:22there i thought your phone was stolen oh please i had a new one shipped over within five minutes of
23:26waking up at the hospital it's all in the cloud it's still there i can barely make it out maybe we
23:31can digitally clean it up why are you helping us like this the satisfaction of helping solve a
23:39potential crime okay fine i want mora to pay for not giving me the exclusive and there it is
23:47all right i sent the photo to a tech guy i've used before no guarantees but he's worked wonders in the
23:54past well if that doesn't pan out i could always give it a try i didn't care much for computers
23:59was that just another one of your stories
24:03i didn't mean that like that i just assumed that you knew all my secrets since you've been
24:07investigating me this whole time what you've been looking into my past don't even bother trying to
24:12deny it sam okay it's it's not what you think really okay what what is it then okay well as far
24:21as i see it you're here because you're hiding from someone or you're running from something and the fact
24:25that you're in some kind of danger that i know nothing about that i can't see that doesn't sit
24:31well with me so last christmas when you wouldn't let me in i did what i always do when i'm faced with
24:36a mystery i threw myself into solving it so i could be there to help you if you needed that's all i want
24:41it's just to be there for you i didn't ask for your help sam there are things that belong to me
24:46that i don't want you to know about because you don't trust me no it's not about trust then why
24:55because i like the way you used to look at me
25:01it made me feel special it still does and i'm afraid that if you
25:06i'm afraid if you know my secrets then you're never gonna look at me like that again
25:11it's from my deck guy i was fast
25:21can i see
25:24the likeness is uncanny
25:27but not to moira no not moira that is a piper
25:33what now this doesn't prove that moira killed reed
25:36but it does prove that she knew about the painting you're gonna bring it to meadows no
25:41the paintings in fletcher's grove that makes this a local crime
25:45sounds like you've made a decision i'm gonna need the full weight of the department behind me
25:50it's good to have you back detective wildner
26:03back in business no more lone wolf i work better in a pack anyway and moira brought in she's here now
26:11what about meadows does he know you're back in business not yet but that could change any
26:15minute so let's go talk to her before it does you want me in there with you yeah
26:20owe you for all your help this week
26:23but only to observe understand yeah i think i can handle that
26:28they're very similar i'm embarrassed i didn't notice yeah right and the oscar goes to you don't
26:44think this original painting bears a striking resemblance to anyone like who
26:50piper hutchins she's a big fan of yours i have a lot of fans of course you're moira wells
26:56welles granddaughter of angela wells or are you you see unlike you dna doesn't lie
27:07where'd you get this doesn't matter it's accurate it proves to me that you're a fraud
27:12katherine wells publicly accepted me as her daughter i was a legal beneficiary of her estate
27:18you took advantage of a woman with early onset alzheimer's who was both vulnerable and lonely how
27:25did you even find out about her what is she doing here observing but actually i have the same
27:30question how'd you find your way in i read a story about angela wells in a magazine right the one that
27:36got her middle name wrong it mentioned that her only daughter was recently moved to a care home
27:41i paid her several visits eventually convinced her i was the child she gave up
27:46she desperately wanted it to be true and so it was
27:49but then piper showed up at one of your events and you noticed the uncanny resemblance to angela's
27:55self-portrait she lived in fletcher's grove it was too much of a coincidence she was the true heir
28:01of angela wells only she had no idea and you did everything you could to dismiss and belittle piper
28:07hoping that she'd just give up on her dream and stay out of the public eye including destroying her
28:12contest entry is the thing that i would say if i wasn't just here to observe
28:18but piper didn't go away so you made a plan to switch the painting with a forgery with a few
28:24subtle facial differences no one would know the difference the real painting has been hidden away
28:28for years by a reclusive collector you were one of very few people who knew about it and the only way
28:34to safely swap it out was while it was on that truck how much did you pay reed to turn a blind eye
28:39while you switched out the paintings you can't prove any of this you know you would have got away
28:45with it too if only reed hadn't taken a second ride that night allowing harrison a sneak peek at the
28:52merchandise okay look i didn't kill reed you're late suspecting you an hour ago i was there just before
29:02dawn it took all of 10 minutes he was very much alive when i left and i suppose you didn't
29:09attack harrison at the art space either harrison told me about the photo over dinner said it was
29:16blurry but that if i didn't give him the exclusive he'd leak it anyway i couldn't risk it coming out
29:20so i thought if i faked the robbery and took his phone that that would be enough clearly i was wrong
29:26okay that doesn't make me a killer that remains to be seen
29:29i have nothing else to say i want my lawyer
29:41wilner what have you done i need you to be more specific you blew up the case i was building well
29:48it's not just your case now it's a joint effort between our departments so since we're working
29:52together maybe it's time that you did this on purpose didn't you you never stepped away from
29:56this at all reed was my partner my friend even if he was an ex-addict with failing kidneys do you
30:02really think moira wells had the the physical strength to overpower him and kill him with his own gun
30:10what nothing i just happen to agree with you about moira
30:17we still have her on the fraud in our theft charges
30:19so where is she in custody i was forced to release her after her lawyers learned that her dna
30:28wasn't obtained legally they convinced her to retract her confession and without the original angela
30:32wells painting i have nothing to prove she's the one who switched them out well that's just great
30:38it's a minor setback i have a judge ready to issue a warrant for a dna test we'll have her back in our
30:42custody by morning that painting is worth something if it hits a black market did she tell you where she
30:47stashed it not yet we'll get it back do you have somebody watching her what if she grabs it and splits
30:53look she's a public figure where's she gonna go she's staying at the grand we'll pick her up in
30:58the morning you can be there you can count on it hey this is detective wilner get me moira wells
31:14lawyer immediately
31:17okay you ready mm-hmm
31:22i can't wait for you to open this can i go first i worked so hard on
31:25uh was that my present uh no i don't know what that was but uh here's your present
31:47what are you doing
31:55what are you doing
31:57this is
32:05Merry Christmas.
32:35Amazing.
32:39So good.
32:41Violet, I actually loved it.
32:42Seriously, amazing job.
32:44Wow.
32:45That is going to be a very tough act to follow.
32:48Oh.
32:50Yours.
32:57Socks.
32:58You always complain when your feet are too cold.
33:00And you told me that you love pandas.
33:02And they're violet.
33:04Just like you.
33:05They are very violet.
33:08I love them.
33:09Really?
33:10You're so thoughtful.
33:13Of course.
33:22What's wrong?
33:24Nothing.
33:25I just realized I owe my dad an apology.
33:31Don't.
33:32Ever.
33:33Tell anyone.
33:34About.
33:35This.
33:36Okay?
33:37Like ever.
33:38You got it.
33:39Hmm.
33:49Hello.
33:50Hey.
33:52Hey, Dad.
33:54Hey, you're sorry.
33:55Maybe you're sorry.
33:57This is empty.
33:59Do you need any seconds or amortized by your brother?
34:01Moira Wells, don't move.
34:24I knew as soon as I heard you were released, you were going to go for that painting.
34:28And you led me right to it.
34:30Now hand it over.
34:31Reed held out on me, too, and you know what I did to him.
34:36You don't want to make the same mistake.
34:42Hand it over.
34:43Now.
34:44I don't think so.
34:46Who are they?
34:46What?
34:49You?
34:49Never mess with a Christmas lady.
34:55Hey, hey, everybody chill.
34:57There's been a big mistake.
34:59I'm a cop.
35:00And not for much longer.
35:01Mike Menos.
35:03You're under arrest for the murder of Reed Donnelly.
35:05You're making a mistake, Wilner.
35:08Let's go.
35:12You okay?
35:13Yeah.
35:13You?
35:14I will be.
35:16I will be.
35:24This is ridiculous.
35:25It's my word against hers.
35:32Reed held out on me, too, and you know what I did to him.
35:35You don't want to make the same mistake.
35:38She was wired.
35:40You put her in Moira's clothes.
35:42You gave her Moira's rental car.
35:44You set a trap.
35:47Why?
35:48When you came to my office, you mentioned Reed's kidney issues.
35:52He told me he only shared that with a few close friends.
35:55I read it in the autopsy report.
35:56It wasn't in the report.
35:59I spoke to the examiner.
36:02Reed told you himself.
36:05You're the friend he went to after I turned him down.
36:07My son wants to go to medical school.
36:14Can you imagine?
36:15While on a cop salary.
36:19You were supposed to work the morning shift.
36:22What happened?
36:26I got there a few minutes early,
36:28and I happened to see Moira swap the paintings.
36:31I also saw her hand an envelope to Reed.
36:35Big fat one.
36:37So I figured it's only fair if I get cut in.
36:42You want me to stay quiet on this?
36:43It's got to be 50-50, okay?
36:44I can't do it, Mike.
36:45Just give me the envelope.
36:47No, it's not going to happen, okay?
36:48We're done here.
36:51Don't walk away from me.
36:52What are you doing, man?
36:53Hey!
36:54Come on!
36:55Shut up!
36:56Shut up!
36:56Don't do it, Mike!
37:01Nobody knew that I was doing the job.
37:03I asked them to keep it off the books
37:05because I was embarrassed.
37:06But you weren't sure.
37:09That's why you asked about the third guard.
37:11Wanted to see if you were safe.
37:12How did you know I'd take the paint?
37:14Greed's a powerful motivator.
37:16You said it yourself.
37:17The Wells painting had some value.
37:20You weren't going to leave that on the table.
37:21So you got Moira to tell you where she stashed the painting.
37:24I called her lawyers after you left my office.
37:27She was pretty eager to make a deal in exchange for a reduced sentence on her charges.
37:31And that's why you told me what hotel she was at.
37:36Smart.
37:36And that Christmas lady, the way she held herself, she wasn't undercover, right?
37:43All right, everyone.
37:51It's the moment you've been waiting for.
37:52Congratulations to the winner of the Christmas art competition, Piper Hutchins.
37:59Yay!
37:59And there you have it, folks, the true heir of Angela Wells taking the world, or at least
38:05this little frozen corner, by storm.
38:08It's breathtaking.
38:10She couldn't have picked a better inspiration.
38:12I mean, what's more Christmassy than the mistletoe?
38:14Well, I suppose, just like Angela Wells, I too will remain unappreciated in my time.
38:21You know, you haven't even shown me the finished painting yet.
38:23Yeah, I haven't seen it yet either.
38:24Oh, well, there's no time like the present.
38:33It's you?
38:35Well, obviously.
38:36It's a self-portrait.
38:37But I was posing for you.
38:39I gave you days of my time.
38:41Well, I needed someone to model the coat.
38:44Oh, she's speechless.
38:47I get it.
38:50Emily.
38:51Piper, congratulations.
38:55I'm so touched by your painting.
38:58You made the mistletoe look so magical.
39:01Well, I'm really glad you like it, because I would like to offer you the original.
39:05No, no, come on, I can't.
39:07I insist.
39:08I owe you so much, everything you've done for me.
39:11Are you kidding me?
39:13You're Wells.
39:13You're porn for this.
39:15Yeah, I don't know if I'm ever going to get used to that.
39:18I like my privacy.
39:20Yeah, I like your grandma.
39:24I know just where I'm going to put it.
39:27It's Christmas.
39:28Thanks again for giving us access to your store last night.
39:35Well, I wasn't crazy about the broken window, but it was worth it.
39:39Hey, maybe I'll send Moira a signed copy of my book in prison.
39:42She would love that.
39:44Hey, Vi, if you want to take off, I can close up.
39:46With Kyle gone for the holidays, I need the distraction.
39:48Plus, my feet are so warm and cozy, I think I could stay on them all day.
39:56Emily, could I, uh, steal you for a moment?
39:58Why don't we talk outside?
39:59It's so beautiful out.
40:02So that's it.
40:04You got him.
40:05Mostly thanks to you.
40:07Nah, you would have managed.
40:09But it wouldn't have been as much fun.
40:10Hey, I, uh, I want you to know my investigation into your past, it's over.
40:20You were right.
40:21I overstepped.
40:22I apologize.
40:24Just like that?
40:26I'm more interested in the person you are now.
40:29Just took me a second to realize that.
40:36Maybe we could make a deal?
40:38No more secrets?
40:38For no new secrets?
40:43Yes, I think I can manage that one.
40:48So we good?
40:49Yeah.
40:51We're good.
40:54I'm not exactly sure where this leaves us, but if nothing else, it feels like a fresh start.
41:00I can work with that.
41:02Is it me, or is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas?
41:08Aaron?
41:12My eyes must be playing tricks on me.
41:14It can't be him.
41:16Hey.
41:17Everything okay?
41:19Um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:21Uh, it's nothing.
41:22Uh, it's nothing.
