00:00:00I
00:00:29You're back
00:00:59Hey mom. David all moved out yet? Almost. We signed the papers yesterday. You still have some boxes to come pick up. Well, everybody moves on eventually. Nobody stays forever. You're just gonna have to get used to changes. You sound like a self-help book. What's going on?
00:01:25I've decided to sell the ranch. What? What do you mean you're selling the ranch? I just can't do it anymore. Romy, I'm ready to move on. I just think it's time to give it up, honey. No. Okay, don't sell. I'll take over. Romy, don't be ridiculous. I'm serious. I could use a change. My apartment already sold. My job is a dead end.
00:01:55My marriage is over. Maybe this could be a fresh start for me. A chance to do some real work with my hands. Well, it's not quite the same since you left. But Romy, if you are serious about this, you best make sure your skin's thick enough.
00:02:13Don't worry about me. I can handle it.

00:05:29Hi, buddy.
00:05:34Hi, old boy.
00:05:36Swiftie.
00:05:38Hi.
00:05:44Welcome home, baby.
00:05:49You're going to need better boots if you're going to work the land.
00:05:52I'll pick some up tomorrow.
00:05:54No need you.
00:05:55Take one of my old pairs.
00:05:57I got plenty.
00:05:57Hey, Swift's schedule's on the refrigerator.
00:06:01Here's his vet's number.
00:06:04He's your dog.
00:06:05You should take him with you when you go.
00:06:07If you're going to live out here alone, you need a dog.
00:06:10Besides, Swift knows what's outside before you do.
00:06:14It's his bark.
00:06:15If it's high-pitched, well, that's an animal.
00:06:18A coyote, maybe a bull.
00:06:21Low and throaty, that's a person.
00:06:24Should I be worried about trespassers?
00:06:26No, it's just better to be ready.
00:06:28Let's go.
00:06:58Zara, I never could bring myself to change anything in here.
00:07:12Sully, I know.
00:07:15Well, get some sleep.
00:07:17We're gonna be out in the fields tomorrow.
00:07:21Enough!
00:07:33She doesn't belong here.
00:07:35Go home!
00:07:37Leave my land now!
00:07:39Oh, you're last, huh?
00:07:41It's not over, Audrina!
00:07:50Mom, you okay?
00:07:51Go back to bed, Romy.
00:07:53I don't know.
00:08:03I do.
00:08:05You know, that fence is sagging.
00:08:30When was the last time it was repaired?
00:08:34Not sure.
00:08:36It's not easy doing everything alone.
00:08:39Something's going to fall through the cracks.
00:08:41Well, I have some money for my apartment sale and some savings.
00:08:45I could use them to fix this place up.
00:08:48Whatever you think's best.
00:08:51I don't know if you could stay longer.
00:08:56We could work on it together.
00:09:02Your aunt's really excited that I'm coming to Florida to be with her.
00:09:05You're going to be okay out here?
00:09:11Yeah, totally.
00:09:15Mm-hmm.
00:09:16Looks like you've got a lot of projects.
00:09:42Yeah, it'd be a lot easier with a ranch hand.
00:09:46Maybe I could help judge her from this home and say you've got some fences to mend.
00:09:51Exactly.
00:09:52In an old barn.
00:09:53Overgrown fields.
00:09:54Garden.
00:09:55Not to mention the farmhouse.
00:09:57Here, give me a call anytime.
00:10:04Chip Slater.
00:10:05As in these Slaters?
00:10:07Mm-hmm.
00:10:07I'm Romy Taylor.
00:10:13Romy.
00:10:14I haven't seen you since you were a kid.
00:10:17I used to go by Charlie back then, remember?
00:10:20Yeah.
00:10:21Yeah, I left after I graduated.
00:10:22I haven't made it back much since.
00:10:24Well, welcome home.
00:10:27Look, with everything between our families, I completely understand if you don't want the job.
00:10:34This town holds on to the past for too long.
00:10:36Maybe fixing up your place together, show everyone we buried the hatchet.
00:10:41Even if our parents couldn't.
00:10:43I like that idea.
00:10:45Great.
00:10:46Get my brother to help you load up your car.
00:10:49Hey, Brody!
00:10:50Yeah?
00:10:51Come help this nice lady with her things, please.
00:10:59So, you're a Slater.
00:11:01And you're a tailor.
00:11:04The whole bar was buzzing about it.
00:11:08You realize I was out flirting with the enemy.
00:11:12I remember you now.
00:11:15You're a few grades below me.
00:11:18Always had your nose in a book at recess.
00:11:21And my sister was a more social one.
00:11:28So...
00:11:29Good luck.
00:11:38Thanks.
00:11:38Thanks.
00:11:51Swifty, move.
00:11:56Okay?
00:12:00Swif, move.
00:12:01Thanks.
00:12:02Thanks.
00:12:30I'm going to be down on the cliff.
00:13:00hip shape, the remains are definitely female.
00:13:02Dental records will confirm her identity
00:13:04soon.
00:13:09I already know who it is.
00:13:30This is Romy.
00:13:44This is Detective Fitz.
00:13:47The autopsy came.
00:13:49Zara died from blunt force trauma,
00:13:51multiple wounds to the back of the skull.
00:13:54Decomposition estimates she was killed
00:13:56around the time she was reported missing.
00:13:58Are you going to be able to find out who did this?
00:14:01We're going to do everything we can,
00:14:02but cold cases, cold cases are tricky.
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:27You were her everything.
00:14:41Romy.
00:15:02Hey, just wanted to drop these off.
00:15:12Offer my condolences.
00:15:16You just let me know when you want to get started on work.
00:15:18If you need anything, don't hesitate.
00:15:22Actually, can you start today?
00:15:24You sure?
00:15:25Yeah, my mom left this morning.
00:15:26I could use the distraction.
00:15:31Of course.
00:15:32Where do we start?
00:15:36Daisy.
00:15:39Well, plumbing isn't exactly my specialty,
00:15:42but we can take a look.
00:15:44It needs a lot of work.
00:15:57Am I crazy for taking all this on?
00:16:00No.
00:16:01Your plans are exciting.
00:16:02We'll get it all done.
00:16:03Thanks.
00:16:05I think I need to hear that.
00:16:07We'll see you in the morning when we get started.
00:16:08Have a good night, Taylor.
00:16:19I hate you.
00:16:20I hate you.
00:16:31Where the hell does it keep going?
00:16:33You don't leave this house with my say-so.
00:16:35You don't control me anymore.
00:16:36I hate you, Taylor.
00:16:38I hate you, Taylor.
00:16:38Oh, my God.
00:17:08One more thing to fix.
00:17:15Is that it?
00:17:28Zara's diary.
00:17:38Oh, Zara.
00:17:51I'm headed into town.
00:18:08Hey.
00:18:09I'm headed into town.
00:18:13You need anything?
00:18:14No.
00:18:15I'm good.
00:18:15I'm just going to keep plugging away at this.
00:18:18All right.
00:18:19Enjoy.
00:18:28How was everything?
00:18:29It was good.
00:18:30Thanks.
00:18:31Hey, I was really sorry to hear about your sister.
00:18:36Don't take this the wrong way, but you moved out of town.
00:18:41Went to the city.
00:18:43Why come back to all this?
00:18:45This place isn't exactly easy for a woman on her own.
00:18:48Divorce.
00:18:49Hmm.
00:18:50Been through that.
00:18:52Ain't it a special kind of personal hell?
00:18:54Totally.
00:18:56I just, I needed a fresh start.
00:18:58And you picked here.
00:19:00You could have made for Italy.
00:19:01Somewhere where men know romance.
00:19:03Here, all they know how to do is rope a bull.
00:19:09Sometimes it gets lonely out here.
00:19:12If you ever need a friend, here's my number.
00:19:15It'd be nice having a girlfriend instead of all of these smelly ranchers.
00:19:32Oh.
00:19:33Hey.
00:19:34You should have had some things to handle at the store.
00:19:36I'm filling in.
00:19:38Where's your landlord?
00:19:40Over there.
00:19:41I'll help you.
00:19:47How you holding up?
00:19:49It's tough.
00:19:52No, I'm sorry.
00:19:54How about your sister?
00:19:57Thanks.
00:20:00You know, I think deep down, my mom and I always knew she wasn't coming back, but...
00:20:05I don't know.
00:20:06All these years of her being missing, it was almost easier than...
00:20:10I get it.
00:20:11The question is always better than an answer you don't actually want.
00:20:17Exactly.
00:20:21Strange to be surrounded by all this beauty.
00:20:24You know, it feels so much...
00:20:26darkness.
00:20:31This place holds on to memory.
00:20:33Yes, it does.
00:20:36It must be off.
00:20:46I have to warn you, not much of a cook.
00:20:49Are you kidding?
00:20:49This looks amazing.
00:20:51I'm just happy you called.
00:20:52Yeah?
00:20:53Yeah, well, you're kind of famous.
00:20:56I believe the word you're looking for is notorious.
00:21:01But I wish this town had better things to talk about.
00:21:04You'd think that after this long, people would be tired of telling the same old story.
00:21:10Sure, whatever version you heard was twisted.
00:21:13Don't worry.
00:21:14I always take gossip with a grain of salt.
00:21:16But I am curious.
00:21:21What exactly do you remember?
00:21:25Zara was my idol.
00:21:27But she was a restless kid.
00:21:34Rebellious.
00:21:36She always talked about running away.
00:21:38And she wanted to go to New York City.
00:21:42So I think, you know, when she went missing, it was easier for me to think of her there.
00:21:49You know, maybe she became a rockette or a singer in a smoky piano bar.
00:21:54Well, maybe it was easier for me to imagine that she really did run away.
00:22:07Is it true that your dad almost killed Willie Slater?
00:22:13The first few days, he was angry.
00:22:18You know, he thought Zara was acting out and had skipped town.
00:22:22And then when it became clear she wasn't coming back, he lost it.
00:22:29He blamed Willie Slater for everything.
00:22:33He beat Willie so bad that he never recovered.
00:22:39And then when my dad was going to be arrested, he left.
00:22:45Honestly, I don't think he was even worried about the police.
00:22:48I think he was worried about the Slaters.
00:22:51Why?
00:22:52Because the Slaters vowed if they ever saw him again, they'd kill him on sight.
00:23:00Whatever.
00:23:01You know, maybe it was better that he left.
00:23:07Still, it's not right for a father to bend his wife and child.
00:23:11I imagine that was very difficult.
00:23:15Very.
00:23:15Dad won't let me go to prom.
00:23:23Alice is going to make a dress for me and hide it.
00:23:26We'll have to find a way to sneak out.
00:23:28He'll kill me if he catches me.
00:23:31Romy!
00:23:35Romy!
00:23:35Oh, they've lined the whole system incorrectly.
00:23:50It's no wonder you don't have any water pressure.
00:23:52Up is down, down is left.
00:23:54It's a mess in there.
00:23:56I'm going to need to patch some new piping in.
00:23:58Especially if you still want those new sinks installed.
00:24:00Okay.
00:24:01So, how much is that going to cost me?
00:24:04It won't be cheap.
00:24:06Those water stains down in the kitchen are because your whole system's a highway of wrong.
00:24:11Well, we've got to do what we've got to do.
00:24:13I'll make this first priority.
00:24:15In the meantime, I might need to cut off the water for a day or two.
00:24:19Okay.
00:24:21Well, I got an outhouse and plenty of bottled water.
00:24:25I'll manage.
00:24:27You're a trooper.
00:24:41Let's take a little trip to the outhouse.
00:24:48What is it, boy?
00:25:03Swift.
00:25:18Come here, boy.
00:25:40Hello?
00:25:48Who's there?
00:25:52Who's there?
00:26:18Hey!
00:26:21Hey!
00:26:29Hey, who's down there?
00:26:33Murphy?
00:26:35How are you doing out here so late?
00:26:37I could ask you the same thing.
00:26:39You're on my property.
00:26:42Barely.
00:26:43Line's over there.
00:26:44Were you in my barn just now?
00:26:47Nope.
00:26:48I'm out here looking for a bull separated from my herd.
00:26:50You see one wandering around?
00:26:52No.
00:26:54All right.
00:26:57You really shouldn't be out here without the proper light.
00:27:00Take this one.
00:27:02I'm good.
00:27:02I insist.
00:27:07You should really be a little more careful, Taylor.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:14Okay.
00:27:14Swift.
00:27:27Swift.
00:27:28Swift.
00:27:28Swift.
00:27:28Swift.
00:27:29Swift!
00:27:42Swift!
00:27:47Good night.
00:28:00My dog ran away.
00:28:02Morning, Patricia.
00:28:06How's that ranch you're sold enough?
00:28:08It's a work in progress.
00:28:10I'm not sure how I feel about my nephew out there being your errand boy.
00:28:14Easy.
00:28:15Pay.
00:28:18Fair enough.
00:28:21Enjoy your eggs, Taylor.
00:28:25Well, that was fun.
00:28:27I should go.
00:28:28No, you don't have to.
00:28:29Yeah, no, I, uh, I don't want trouble.
00:28:47There you are.
00:28:57Where the heck have you been?
00:28:59No.
00:29:20No.
00:29:21No.
00:29:22Get out of the way, losers.
00:29:50VIP coming through.
00:29:52Boo!
00:29:53What's your problem?
00:29:56I'm not gonna get you.
00:29:59I'll just have a beer.
00:30:01Whenever you get a chance.
00:30:03Just let me get the wings?
00:30:05Yeah, no worries.
00:30:07You know, I always thought you'd be the prettier sister.
00:30:12Were you pretty taken with Zara?
00:30:15We all were.
00:30:17It's a shame what happened to her.
00:30:20But I'm thinking more about you now, Romy.
00:30:23Uh-huh.
00:30:24You still ride?
00:30:26I'll take you out on the trail one day.
00:30:28That's not really my thing anymore.
00:30:30All right.
00:30:31What about dinner?
00:30:33No, thank you.
00:30:36Oh, I see.
00:30:38You think that you're out of my league now.
00:30:43Now that is not how you thank someone for helping you.
00:30:47Now is it?
00:30:49Not now, Chief.
00:30:52Leave her be Murphy.
00:30:53Oh.
00:30:54Big Bad Brody coming to save her from Scary Murphy.
00:30:58Eh?
00:31:01We should call it a night.
00:31:04Move.
00:31:06We're talking.
00:31:08I don't think the lady's interested.
00:31:10Not a fact.
00:31:12Says who?
00:31:14You interested?
00:31:17Not in the least.
00:31:19There's your answer, Murph.
00:31:22And move along.
00:31:29Out on that ranch all by yourself, huh?
00:31:32I'd be careful.
00:31:34Taylor's got a lot of enemies nowadays.
00:31:38Don't they?
00:31:49Want to get out of here?
00:32:06Thanks for the help back there.
00:32:08No problem.
00:32:13Mmm.
00:32:15A little hot.
00:32:18Can I say something?
00:32:22The other day in the parking lot,
00:32:25I should have asked for your number.
00:32:28Why didn't you?
00:32:30Nervous, I guess.
00:32:33You don't get a lot of beautiful women coming through town.
00:32:38Wouldn't matter though, would it?
00:32:40You're a tailor, I'm a slater.
00:32:42I don't care about all that.
00:32:44You don't?
00:32:45Honestly.
00:32:47I was a little disappointed.
00:32:49When you leaned in.
00:32:51Kind of had this moment.
00:32:53Kind of like right now.
00:32:56So you think I could take you out sometime?
00:32:57For real?
00:32:59I'd like that.
00:33:01Alright then.
00:33:03So you think I could take you out sometime?
00:33:05For real?
00:33:07I'd like that.
00:33:10Alright then.
00:33:32Okay.
00:33:40Okay.
00:34:02I can't believe you're going to date with us later.
00:34:32Alright, that's good.
00:34:42Today was a good day.
00:34:44He came to see me.
00:34:46We have so much fun together.
00:34:50Who came to see you?
00:34:54Sometimes it feels exciting to have this secret.
00:34:57A person no one knows about who is all mine.
00:35:00But I can't risk anyone finding out about freckles.
00:35:03It wouldn't be good for anyone involved.
00:35:09It feels like it could all just boil over.
00:35:12My happy place.
00:35:13Where are you hiding, Zara?
00:35:20It was freckles.
00:35:32Ranch hand, carpenter, plumber.
00:35:34I'll be sure to put in that order.
00:35:35Thanks, Chip.
00:35:36Oh, hey.
00:35:37Detective Fitz.
00:35:38Romy.
00:35:39I was hoping I could ask you a few questions.
00:35:40Yeah.
00:35:41Detective.
00:35:42Chip.
00:35:43Come on in.
00:35:44Your father was spotted about 20 miles away from here in Bakerstown.
00:35:48You know what he'd be doing there?
00:35:50When was this?
00:35:51Last night.
00:35:52You haven't seen him or noticed anything unusual around the ranch?
00:35:57Curious how you come back into town and suddenly your father is spotted for the first time in decades.
00:36:04Sister's body turns up.
00:36:05You don't find that a bit odd?
00:36:06What are you saying?
00:36:07What are you saying?
00:36:08What are you saying?
00:36:09Your father is still our lead suspect.
00:36:11What makes you think that my father did it?
00:36:12Your father wasn't the most above-board business of mine.
00:36:13What are you saying?
00:36:14It's your only thing.
00:36:15I'm sure we're not going to be able to be able to get his person out.
00:36:16What's it, Eric?
00:36:17You mean, a friend?
00:36:18I'm sure I'm sure he's been to care.
00:36:19What makes you think?
00:36:20Last night.
00:36:21You haven't seen him or noticed anything unusual around the ranch?
00:36:25Are you sure you're starting to be honest?
00:36:26Curious how you come back into town and suddenly your father spot it for the first time in decades?
00:36:29Sister's body turns up.
00:36:32Do you find that a bit odd?
00:36:33your father wasn't the most above-board businessman he made several bad land deals with
00:36:38willie slater are you aware this land once belonged to the slaters according to this
00:36:45your father and willie plan to be business partners but your father stole this land right
00:36:51out from under him but why would a bad land contract cause my father to kill his own daughter
00:36:55that makes no sense shows he was erratic self-interested i'll tell you one thing i'm
00:37:02sure of your father was a violent man there's plenty of proof of that poor willie slater
00:37:07bizarre had nothing to do with the bad land deal how would she get caught in the crossfire you tell
00:37:18me my guess is he wasn't the easiest man to have as a father do you ever act violent at home
00:37:32no
00:37:33you know what i think i think you and your sister were afraid of him and he had good reason to be
00:37:41he nearly killed willie in public i shudder to think what he was like at home
00:37:46czar was free-spirited pushed his limits
00:37:48maybe he snapped on her too
00:37:52i think i was really young
00:38:01i don't remember a lot from that time
00:38:06well
00:38:10i best be going then
00:38:14still dealing with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease symptoms despite treatment
00:38:40put them in check with rinvoke rinvoke works differently and it's a once daily pill
00:38:45when symptoms
00:38:46i wasn't expecting a picnic for a first date
00:38:49i just figured we have a little more privacy this way
00:38:51better than being gawked at in town like we're zoo animals
00:38:54can you imagine a tailor and a slater on a date
00:38:57so what do you think you'll do once this place is all done
00:39:06what do you mean
00:39:08well you're fixing up to sell it right
00:39:10i moved back here so i could live here
00:39:13i don't know
00:39:16i thought all of this would come a little easier
00:39:18you know i thought i'd move home and actually feel like i belonged
00:39:22you belong
00:39:23this place is just so
00:39:27haunted
00:39:29don't sell

00:39:45but you can't take the ranch out of the girl

00:40:11you can take the ranch out of the man
00:40:15I don't know.
00:40:45I don't know.
00:41:15I don't know.
00:41:45Dad?
00:41:53Prodigal daughter returns.
00:41:57What are you doing here?
00:41:59It's my place.
00:42:00Not anymore.
00:42:02How about you put the gun down?
00:42:04Calling the police.
00:42:05Romy, listen to me.
00:42:07Your mother let me come when I needed supplies.
00:42:12I got no other means of surviving at the moment.
00:42:15I don't want to stir any trouble.
00:42:16I just need to take my wares and be on my way.
00:42:20Mom was helping you?
00:42:22When she could.
00:42:24Did she know that this land belonged to the Slaters?
00:42:27This is Taylor land.
00:42:28Don't lie to me.
00:42:31Detective Fitz showed me the contracts that you manipulated to cut Willie out of the partnership.
00:42:36Fitz's only case?
00:42:37Is it true you built this house on land you stole?
00:42:41What does that matter?
00:42:42What else have you lied about?
00:42:44What's that supposed to mean?
00:42:46Zara.
00:42:48Did you?
00:42:49If you really think that I could have killed your sister, then you have well and truly lost your mind, girl.
00:42:57You have one minute to tell me the truth, or I'm calling the police.
00:43:00All right.
00:43:02Willie and I, we made a handshake deal on the land grab.
00:43:06Willie already owned most of the acreage.
00:43:09I paid for all the equipment to till it.
00:43:1150-50.
00:43:12But a few weeks before, he cut me out of a cattle sale.
00:43:15I was bitter about it.
00:43:17Greedy.
00:43:18So when he suggested we pick up the surrounding lots, I told him I wouldn't go in on it unless we split all the land 50-50.
00:43:25The Slaters had everything already.
00:43:27All that money, and Willie stood to inherit everything.
00:43:30He didn't have to work the way I did.
00:43:32I built myself from nothing.
00:43:33By cheating.
00:43:34I was building something for our family.
00:43:37I was already struggling to feed one daughter.
00:43:41Then your mother had you.
00:43:44I did what was necessary to provide.
00:43:46But I figured Willie had plenty, and we'd get past it.
00:43:51After a few weeks, Willie came by the house, threatened to take everything back by whatever means necessary.
00:43:57I thought he was just blowing off steam.
00:44:00But then a tractor backfired.
00:44:02Almost killed Adrena.
00:44:05Our fields caught fire.
00:44:06Poisonous snakes were left in the house.
00:44:09Willie meant every word.
00:44:11Why do you think I was so strict about you keeping away from Slaters, huh?
00:44:14I didn't kill her, Romy.
00:44:30A couple of days after Zar went missing, I ran into Willie at a cattle auction.
00:44:36He was acting old, friendly, comfortable-like.
00:44:39It rubbed me wrong.
00:44:43I swear he was gloating, Romy.
00:44:45That's why you went after him.
00:44:46You really believed he killed her.
00:44:48I'm sure of it.
00:44:51Well, regardless, it's not safe for either of us that you're here.
00:44:55You were caught in some security footage a few times over.
00:44:58You know, the police could be watching the ranch as we speak.
00:45:02Fine.
00:45:03I'll keep clear from here on out.
00:45:08It's nice to see you.
00:45:14Take whatever you want.
00:45:20Why didn't you tell me that you were helping him?
00:45:23It would have put you in danger.
00:45:24You were a little girl.
00:45:26You would have wanted to go see him, and we couldn't take that chance.
00:45:29Mom, are you out of your mind?
00:45:31You don't know he didn't do it.
00:45:32Look, I believe your father, okay?
00:45:35There's a lot about the Slaters that you don't know.
00:45:38Just tell me what you think happened.
00:45:40I only know that Willie wanted to make your father suffer.
00:45:44Okay, so you think Willie Slater killed Zara?
00:45:47Doesn't matter what I think.
00:45:49With Fitz on the case, your father would never get a fair shot.
00:45:52Why is that?
00:45:53Because Willie and Fitz go way back.
00:45:55Fitz is going to paint this whole thing to look like your father's due, and you mark my words.
00:45:59Well, it wouldn't be hard to build that case.
00:46:02You remember how he was?
00:46:04Angry, combative.
00:46:06There's more I could have said to Fitz, but I remember the police weren't helpful back then, so I've kept quiet for now.
00:46:11But there's no guarantee that he didn't...
00:46:13Your father didn't kill her!
00:46:15But enough!
00:46:16Romy, I passed you that ranch.
00:46:18But if you keep digging up old business, I will come and take it back.
00:46:23Mom, do you hear me?
00:46:24You keep your head down, and you don't go stirring up anything that don't need stirring.
00:46:30Do you hear me, Romy?
00:46:31Are you okay?
00:46:40Sorry, what?
00:46:42Just checking in.
00:46:44You okay?
00:46:46Yeah, I'm good.
00:46:50Uh-huh.
00:46:51Sorry, it's just...
00:46:56It's all been so intense.
00:47:01You know...
00:47:03I always thought your sister seemed...
00:47:07really nice.
00:47:11Yeah?
00:47:11We never got to interact much on account of our dads, but...
00:47:16she seemed...
00:47:20special.
00:47:22And I'm really sorry.
00:47:27Thank you for saying that, Chip.
00:47:30Thanks for everything.
00:47:32You've been a real comfort.
00:47:35Likewise.
00:47:38Sounds like my brother's been a comfort, too.
00:47:41Oh.
00:47:43Hey.
00:47:45It's good.
00:47:47It's real good.
00:47:49I've been wanting Brody to find someone.
00:47:52And so many women want to date him.
00:47:55Just never had any interest.
00:47:58Until you.
00:48:00They must really like you.
00:48:02I guess so.
00:48:08Hey.
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:18Open.
00:48:21Wow.
00:48:24How did you...
00:48:25I had some help from Chip.
00:48:30After you.
00:48:44Very charming.
00:48:46I know you've been stressed.
00:48:48I want to take your mind off everything.
00:48:51You're so sweet.
00:48:53Yeah, I think it's been more stressful than I imagined having my dad so close by.
00:48:57Did the police tell you there's been another sighting?
00:49:00No, just...
00:49:02Bakerstown's so close.
00:49:07Are you worried he'll come here?
00:49:11No.
00:49:13Let's just enjoy tonight.
00:49:16Cheers...
00:49:17to...
00:49:19Us.
00:49:19Us.
00:49:21us.
00:49:27I'm all in something in the hall, it's a light.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:29I hate you.
00:49:30Yeah.
00:49:31Okay.
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:32Okay.
00:49:34Okay.
00:49:36All right.
00:49:38Like this.
00:49:39I'm gonna let you know.
00:49:41Oh, God.
00:49:43I'll let you know.
00:49:44You gotta let me know.
00:49:45You gotta let me know.
00:49:46That's not gonna let me know.
00:49:47I'll let you know.
00:49:48You haven't learned this later.
00:49:49See you, too.
00:49:54Chip helping you out with this dump is already a bridge too far, but now you're shacking up
00:50:21with Brody.
00:50:27Would you like to come in for some lemonade?
00:50:28Whatever business you got with Brody, you better cut it off, or I'll cut it for you.
00:50:33With all due respect, who I choose to see is none of your business.
00:50:37Taylors and Slaters don't mix, never have, never will.
00:50:42I was willing to let bygones be bygones when it came to Chip and you doing business, but
00:50:48this relationship with Brody is a hard line.
00:50:50He's a grown man, Patricia.
00:50:52He can do whatever he wants.
00:50:53We'll see about that.
00:50:55You best be careful with all this clover.
00:51:00You might get snakes.
00:51:02Willy followed me home from school today.
00:51:18It was scary for a minute.
00:51:21Sometimes I wish I could just talk to someone about this.
00:51:25Stay away from me.
00:51:26Stay away from me.
00:51:27I told you.
00:51:28No, I didn't do anything.
00:51:29Stop.
00:51:30Please.
00:51:31Do you think your dad was right?
00:51:32That Willy was behind it all?
00:51:33Oh, it makes sense.
00:51:34Right?
00:51:35I mean, Willy followed her home from school.
00:51:36Hmm.
00:51:37But why aren't the police looking into him?
00:51:39Fitz and the Slaters are close.
00:51:40Fitz and the Slaters are close.
00:51:41Fitz has already chosen his side.
00:51:42Do you know where Willy is now?
00:51:44Last I heard, he was in a care home a few towns over.
00:51:45No, Romy.
00:51:46You cannot go there.
00:51:47What other options do I have?
00:51:48If Willy was behind your sister's death, there's no telling what the Slaters wanted to
00:51:49be.
00:51:50I don't know.
00:51:51I don't know.
00:51:52I don't know.
00:51:53I don't know.
00:51:54I don't know.
00:51:55I don't know.
00:51:56I don't know.
00:51:57I don't know.
00:51:58I don't know.
00:51:59I don't know.
00:52:00I don't know.
00:52:01I don't know.
00:52:02I don't know.
00:52:03I don't know.
00:52:04I don't know.
00:52:05I don't know.
00:52:06I don't know.
00:52:07I don't know.
00:52:08I don't know.
00:52:09What other options do I have?
00:52:10If Willy was behind your sister's death, there's no telling what the Slaters will
00:52:14do if they find out you're trying to pin it on him.
00:52:16Patricia is already blowing a lid over you and Brody dating.
00:52:20Well, Brody and Chip are not like their father, just like I'm not like mine.
00:52:24They have been kind to me.
00:52:26I think they want to put this in the rear view as much as I do.
00:52:29Blood runs deep, Romy.
00:52:31Just promise me you won't do anything too reckless.
00:52:54I'm a legitimate suitor because I wanted to deal.
00:52:57Yes, it is.
00:52:58What are you doing?
00:52:59What are you doing?
00:53:00Calling my aunt.
00:53:05I'm okay.
00:53:06I'm not afraid of your aunt.
00:53:12We just don't want any more bad blood.
00:53:14What else knows we've been seeing each other.
00:53:17Emma?
00:53:19Chip?
00:53:20Why do we have to keep our relationship a secret?
00:53:25What are you ashamed of?
00:53:27I'm not ashamed.
00:53:29I'd love to be able to just be together.
00:53:31I...
00:53:32I...
00:53:33I don't want to put a target on your back.
00:53:37My aunt is volatile and until I can get control of the situation...
00:53:41I can handle myself.
00:53:43And I'm done sneaking around like a bunch of teenagers.
00:53:48I'm not gonna be your secret forever, Brody.
00:53:54You're right.
00:53:56You shouldn't be.
00:54:00Maybe it's better you find someone who can give you a real relationship.
00:54:04You deserve more than what I can offer you.
00:54:06Unless we stay away from each other.
00:54:11It's safer.
00:54:14Whoa.
00:54:15Hey, Brody.
00:54:16You don't mean that.
00:54:18Brody!
00:54:36Hi.
00:54:49Do you mind?
00:55:07Hey, Willy.
00:55:13It's Remy Taylor.
00:55:15I don't know if you remember me.
00:55:21What are you doing here, Taylor?
00:55:23I was just...
00:55:24I have no right to be here.
00:55:25I don't want to fight.
00:55:26How dare you come here?
00:55:28Get out!
00:55:29Get out.
00:55:30Get out!
00:55:31Get out!
00:55:36I don't know if I could commit.
00:55:54Now, let's wonder if I can show you how it looks.
00:56:00Did you try to sue my dad today?
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:19Why would you do that?
00:56:21Roman, you gotta stop being so dang reckless.
00:56:23I just want to know what happened to Zara.
00:56:26I feel like I can't get any peace until I know.
00:56:30I'm so sorry.
00:56:36All right.
00:56:39Do you want to come in?
00:56:41I can't.
00:56:42I have to be in Kentville for a cattle auction.
00:56:45But I'll be back in a couple days.
00:56:47Oh.
00:56:49I don't like the idea of you alone with Patricia on the warpath.
00:56:53I'll be okay.
00:56:54I told Chip to keep an eye on you.
00:56:57Just in case.
00:57:00Are we?
00:57:01We'll talk when I'm back.
00:57:02I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:04I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:05I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:06I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:08I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:10I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:11I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:12I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:13I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:14I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:15I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:15I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:16I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:16I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:17I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:18I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:19I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:19I don't like the idea of you alone.
00:57:20What's going on?
00:57:41Patricia Slater got into a car accident last night.
00:57:44Someone cut her brakes.
00:57:46She crashed into a tree.
00:57:47Roke her like, what?
00:57:50She's telling everyone that you did it.
00:57:52She said he tried to sneak into Ollie's nursing home to finish what your dad started.
00:57:56No.
00:57:56Okay, that's not why I...
00:57:58You didn't really go see him, did you?
00:58:00No.
00:58:01What were you thinking?
00:58:04I just want to know the truth.
00:58:06And I only went there to get his side of his story.
00:58:09Okay, I knew that my dad heard him.
00:58:10I didn't realize the extent of what he did.
00:58:13But Patricia's out of control.
00:58:15She came in there and she started hollering like a wild animal.
00:58:19Come on.
00:58:20No, but you know I would never...
00:58:22I don't know what to believe.
00:58:26Really?
00:58:30Fine.
00:58:31I'll just go.
00:58:36The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, does it?
00:58:39The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
00:58:57The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
00:58:58I don't know, but you know what to do.
00:58:59You're right.
00:58:59I'll just go.
00:59:00I don't know.
00:59:00You know what to do.
00:59:00I don't know.
00:59:01I don't know what to do.
00:59:03I'm a legitimate suitor because I wanted to find love, but nothing changed.
00:59:27What if we were to welcome?
00:59:31Mommy.
00:59:33Hey, whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
00:59:37What's the problem?
00:59:41Your aunt. Okay, everyone thinks that I...
00:59:44And I didn't. I didn't have anything to do with it.
00:59:46Take a breath.
00:59:48Breathe.
00:59:49Breathe.
00:59:56The only people that think you would hurt my aunt are people who are idiots.
00:59:59I know what it's like to have everyone judge you based on your parents.
01:00:05The way this town's cheated you hasn't been fair in the least.
01:00:09Everyone hates me.
01:00:10Even Emma's distancing herself.
01:00:16It's all because of what my father did.
01:00:17Look, your dad wasn't exactly a daisy.
01:00:23But my old man was a mean bastard, too.
01:00:26They were made for each other.
01:00:29Their fight is not our fight.
01:00:31Aunt Patricia is as blind as a bat.
01:00:38And I've been begging her to get glasses for years.
01:00:41No wonder she crashed her truck.
01:00:43Really?
01:00:44Really.
01:00:45If you can dig any harder, you're going to wind up in Australia.
01:00:55Oh, God.
01:01:01Hey.
01:01:03How was Canfield?
01:01:04Canfield.
01:01:04Canfield.
01:01:04Canfield.
01:01:06Canfield.
01:01:07Canfield.
01:01:08Canfield.
01:01:09Canfield.
01:01:10Canfield.
01:01:11Canfield.
01:01:12Canfield.
01:01:13Canfield.
01:01:14Canfield.
01:01:14Canfield.
01:01:15Canfield.
01:01:23Sorry.
01:01:26How's Patricia?
01:01:28She's okay.
01:01:30I'm banged up.
01:01:32I think I managed to talk her off the ledge of accusing you.
01:01:43Why don't you come inside?
01:01:44You can shower. I'll make us some dinner.
01:01:49Okay.
01:02:00Hey, Brode. Dinner's ready.
01:02:04Great. Be right now.
01:02:10Zara.
01:02:14Is something wrong?
01:02:26What is that?
01:02:27You tell me.
01:02:29Why is my sister's diary in your bag?
01:02:34I...
01:02:35I don't know.
01:02:37Were you really out of town for a cattle auction?
01:02:40Of course. What exactly is happening? You're not making any sense.
01:02:47Okay.
01:02:49I'll admit I read a little of the diary that first night I came over here, but that's it.
01:02:53I knew it was an invasion of privacy, so I left it. I don't know how it ended up in my bag.
01:02:59You leave town, and then someone breaks into my house and steals my sister's diary.
01:03:03Your aunt gets into a car wreck, and now I find the diary in your bag.
01:03:07Hold on. Hold on. Are you actually accusing me of attacking my own aunt and stealing from you right now?
01:03:13I think you should leave.
01:03:17Romy, listen to me.
01:03:25Fine.
01:03:26Fine.
01:03:33What the heck are you?
01:04:03I'm sorry I ever believed those awful rumors about you.
01:04:21Why would Brody want to steal your sister's diary?
01:04:24Maybe he knows something about Willie.
01:04:28Maybe he's afraid that Zara's diary contains something that he doesn't want anyone to know.
01:04:32Well, like what?
01:04:33I don't know.
01:04:34He ripped out most of the pages that she wrote before she was killed.
01:04:40Just left the one in about her wanting to run away.
01:04:43It's almost like he wants it to look like my father did it.
01:04:46That just doesn't sound like Brody.
01:04:48I know.
01:04:49But it's like you said, blood runs thick.
01:04:52But if he is trying to protect his own, then why hurt Patricia?
01:04:56Well, Chip said that he thinks Patricia's accident was really just an accident.
01:05:01But Brody was very upset about the snake incident.
01:05:03Zara was seeing someone in secret.
01:05:07You know, this code name, Freckles.
01:05:14Maybe that was Brody.
01:05:15The timing of all this is suspicious.
01:05:20I agree.
01:05:21Conveniently out of town when it all happened.
01:05:23Plus, Chip said that Brody hasn't been interested in any women until I showed up.
01:05:28That's true.
01:05:29Maybe he has a thing for the tailors.
01:05:32Maybe Willie found out about them, got angry, and then that's what my dad said Willie was gloating about.
01:05:37Okay, so if Brody was trying to protect Willie, what does he know that he wants to stay hidden?
01:05:43That's what I want to find out.
01:05:46Mrs. Buttafuoco?
01:05:48Your husband's Joey Buttafuoco.
01:05:53I just want to talk.
01:05:54You and I don't have anything to talk about.
01:05:57My father took land that rightfully belonged to your family.
01:06:00If I could go back and fix that, I would.
01:06:04I didn't do anything to your car, Patricia.
01:06:07I know that snake didn't end up in my mailbox all on its own.
01:06:12I don't have any answers to your mystery, so I don't know what you think you're going to get out of me.
01:06:17But you were part of the feud, so I'm just trying to get a picture of what went down.
01:06:22My brother hated your father, but he wasn't a killer.
01:06:25And now he's stuck in that home because of what your father did.
01:06:29I understand that you're angry.
01:06:31Okay, what happened was unacceptable.
01:06:32Just because you lost a sister doesn't mean you're the only one losing.
01:06:35Come rolling into town kicking up all these old things instead of just letting it all lie.
01:06:43I'm so sorry for what my father did to your brother.
01:06:53You of all people, you must understand.
01:06:55I just want my sister to have some peace.
01:07:01Well, if you didn't cut my brakes, who do you suppose did?
01:07:04All I know is that the sooner we put the pads to the bed, the better off everyone's going to be.
01:07:12Well, I'll stay on my side of the line.
01:07:15You agree to stay on yours.
01:07:18Fair enough.
01:07:19Who's this?
01:07:35That's Chip.
01:07:36He was all covered in polka dots when he was a kid.
01:07:40Freckles.
01:07:41Yeah, that's what we called him.
01:07:43So you think Chip and your sister were seeing each other?
01:07:52Maybe.
01:07:53What explained why your dad was so set off?
01:07:56Maybe he found out about them.
01:07:57She was planning on running away.
01:07:59She said it was going to break his heart.
01:08:01But then why would Chip lie about barely knowing her?
01:08:03He was afraid of setting off the feud again.
01:08:06You know, two kids in love.
01:08:08Their families hated each other.
01:08:09It was dangerous.
01:08:10It's very Romeo and Juliet.
01:08:12So I need to talk to Chip.
01:08:13Maybe he saw something or knows something that can lead me to some answers.
01:08:18But I hate to think that he's been grieving this whole time in secret.
01:08:33Hey.
01:08:34Hey.
01:08:35You ready to dig some more trench?
01:08:37Actually, there's something inside I'd love you to have a look at.
01:08:48So?
01:08:50What do you think?
01:08:53New wallpaper?
01:08:55Upgrade to a queen-size bed?
01:08:59I want to do something in here to honor Zara.
01:09:03Like what?
01:09:04Well, that's the thing.
01:09:07I mean, I was so young.
01:09:09So many of my memories of her are incomplete.
01:09:15You said that she was always nice to you.
01:09:18Maybe you could help me paint a clear picture.
01:09:23Well, I didn't know her very well.
01:09:26I don't think I'm the best person to ask.
01:09:27Come on, Chip.
01:09:28What?
01:09:31You don't have to hide anything from me.
01:09:33Okay, I know that you and my sister were a lot closer than you're letting on.
01:09:39And why would you think that?
01:09:41Because she wrote about you in her diary.
01:09:45I mean, you're freckles.
01:09:47Aren't you?
01:09:47Maybe I ought to head out.
01:09:54No, look.
01:09:55Something that hasn't made sense to me about her diary is that she had this big secret.
01:10:00You know, something that she wouldn't even let herself write about.
01:10:03But I know she was asked to prom.
01:10:05And I know that whoever asked her was someone that my father was very upset about the prospect of her dating.
01:10:13I know someone visited her and she'd look forward to those visits.
01:10:20Look, I know whoever she was spending time with was someone that she was worried would create chaos
01:10:26if the secret was found out by my father or yours.
01:10:29She was in love with you.
01:10:38No, please, Chip.
01:10:41If you know something, anything, okay, maybe it would help me understand why my father or your father snapped.
01:10:48I mean, was that why Willie was so focused on Zara?
01:10:52Because he found out?
01:10:54Or was it my father that knew?
01:10:55Stop!
01:10:59Stop, Romy, please.
01:11:09I'm sorry.
01:11:13Okay.
01:11:14Okay.
01:11:17I cared about your sister more than I initially let on.
01:11:22And her death broke me.
01:11:25Is that what you want to hear?
01:11:26But that doesn't mean that I know what happened to her.
01:11:30I'm so sorry.
01:11:33Okay?
01:11:33I didn't realize.
01:11:34I shouldn't have prompted.
01:11:35Can we just stop talking about it?
01:11:38Sure.
01:11:38Yeah.
01:11:46I'm gonna go finish the trench.
01:11:48Yeah.
01:11:48Yeah.
01:11:48Mm-hmm.
01:11:49I don't know.
01:12:19Okay.
01:12:31TV man.
01:12:33Ah!
01:12:37No!
01:12:38Ah!
01:12:39Ah!
01:12:43Ah!
01:12:44Ah!
01:12:45Ah!
01:12:46Ah!
01:12:46Ah!
01:12:48Ah!
01:12:48Ah!
01:12:49I don't know.
01:13:19Romy, why don't we talk about this?
01:13:49I know that we can figure this out together, but it didn't happen the way that you think.
01:14:17I'm not a murderer.
01:14:33Okay.
01:14:35I'm not a killer.
01:14:39I loved your sister.
01:14:43Did you know that?
01:16:17What was I supposed to do?
01:16:21I was just a kid.
01:16:23I panicked.
01:16:27Our families were already at war.
01:16:29You think they would have believed me if I told them it was an accident?
01:16:35So I buried all that fresh dirt your mom already planted in.
01:16:51Who'd know?
01:16:55Then your dad decided it had to have been my dad who did it.
01:17:01All these years, I blame myself for what happened to my old man.
01:17:15But I think it's time that we end this.
01:17:31Romy!
01:17:33Romy!
01:17:35Romy!
01:17:39Romy!
01:17:41Romy!
01:17:45Romy!
01:17:47Romy!
01:17:49Romy!
01:17:51Romy!
01:17:52Romy!
01:17:53Romy!
01:17:54Romy!
01:17:55Romy!
01:17:56Romy!
01:17:58I wish you would have left when I told you to.
01:18:00I wish you would have left when I told you to.
01:18:30I left you a little note, hoping you'd think it was from Patricia.
01:18:54She wanted you gone, and then I thought snipping her brakes would have been enough for you
01:19:01to want to skip town.
01:19:03We all know how Aunt Patricia gets when she's angry.
01:19:06Your daddy ran from the Slaters.
01:19:17I thought you would, too.
01:19:24No!
01:19:31No!
01:19:33No!
01:19:37No!
01:19:58No!
01:20:11No!
01:20:24No!
01:20:28No!
01:20:35Come on, come on!
01:20:39You know, I really wanted you and I to be the ones to end this feud.
01:20:57But I think it's pretty clear, Taylors and Sleeves, really don't mix.
01:21:27Sorry about this, Jack. Just doing your job.
01:21:46What? No. Why are you arresting him?
01:21:49It's okay. It's the right thing.
01:21:52It's about time I took accountability for what I'd done to Willie.
01:21:57If you don't worry about me, I love you, Romy.
01:22:03I love you too, Dad.
01:22:16Romy. Romy!
01:22:19Brody.
01:22:21I'm so sorry.
01:22:27What happened?
01:22:29It wouldn't have ever made me. It was crazy. The brother, I don't even know where to start.
01:22:35Here, Dad, let me help you.
01:22:41Oh, quit fussing over me.
01:22:45You're welcome home, honey.
01:22:51Good to see you too, Mr. Taylor.
01:22:53Brody.
01:22:55Brody.
01:22:56Come on.
01:22:57Food's on.
01:22:58Yeah, wait.
01:22:59You're welcome home, honey.
01:23:01Good to see you too, Mr. Taylor.
01:23:03Brody.
01:23:05Come on. Food's on.
01:23:07Yeah, wait.
01:23:08Brody.
01:23:09Romy.
01:23:10You coming?
01:23:11See you, too, Mr. Taylor.
01:23:13Rody?
01:23:21Come on. Food's on.
01:23:24Yeah, wait.
01:23:31Romy, you coming?
01:23:34I'll be right there.
01:23:41I'll be right there.
01:24:11I'll be right there.
