TVTranscript
00:01Previously on, one calls the hearth.
00:03Mr. Gowan!
00:04This Toby and Cooper made a campfire.
00:06Before the fire started, it's probably what caused it.
00:09What about that?
00:10Lee?
00:11What you experienced was an anxiety neurosis.
00:14I was very focused on trying to prove my worth to you.
00:16Well, it was foolish.
00:17I regret my rash words.
00:19Looks like some burnt cement.
00:21I think the bigger question is, what was it?
00:23Gowan discovers two chunks in Christopher's car.
00:26Near the schoolhouse, Nathan and Elizabeth sit together on horseback.
00:31Even after all these years, I never tire of this view.
00:35Yeah, it's okay.
00:38No, I'm happy to be here, despite the dreadful early hour.
00:44Just trying to steal some time for just us.
00:49Yeah, well, I had some stealing this mound you could get behind.
00:54How are you, Nathan, honestly?
00:57Honestly, I've been a little obsessed with this fire investigation that I can't seem to close.
01:02You practically live behind that desk of yours these days.
01:06Don't be so hard on yourself.
01:07No, I mean like...
01:09I mean like I should be able to close it.
01:12Protocol, regulation, it's done.
01:15Anyways, I'm sorry, we came up here not to talk about the investigation.
01:20We're not here to forget.
01:25Just to take a step back and appreciate what we have.
01:30Smell the roses.
01:32Right now, in this moment, we can just be together.
01:38I like that.
01:42Meanwhile, at the school, Joseph enters to discover Gowan seated at the front.
01:47Good morning, Henry.
01:48Well, I'd come back.
01:50Oh no, we're here now.
01:52How can I help, my friend?
01:54Oh, I'm alright.
01:55What's your toolbox for?
01:57Oh, Elizabeth asked me to check on a sagging door.
02:00Can I help you?
02:01I'd appreciate that.
02:02Oh.
02:03Need new hands or...?
02:04Yeah, probably a shim too.
02:05They crouch by the door.
02:06Joseph, what do you do if someone you love did something that's horrible?
02:10If your brother sins, rebuke him.
02:11If he repents, forgive him.
02:13If he repents, forgive him.
02:16What if it's unforgivable?
02:17Well, that's not for us to judge.
02:18You know, Henry, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't struggling, knowing that I was
02:21my own son may have started that fire.
02:22Even by my son, I had to be doing something that's horrible.
02:23If your brother sins, rebuke him.
02:28If he repents, forgive him.
02:34What if it's unforgivable?
02:36Well, that's not for us to judge.
02:39You know, Henry, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't struggling, knowing that my own son
02:48I mean, it started that fire, even by accident.
02:53All I can do is be there for him, love him.
02:58That's all any of us can do.
03:00Cooper's a good kid.
03:04When I was his age, all I was looking for was an easy way out.
03:12A long time after that, too.
03:15Well, you found your way.
03:19That's what matters.
03:21Sometimes, just standing beside our loved ones, no matter what they may have done,
03:28is all the guiding light they need.
03:30And the greatest blessing.
03:36They both stand up.
03:44Good as new.
03:46It's got to be.
03:46Thanks, my friend.
03:49Thanks, Joseph.
03:51Have a good rest of your day.
03:53You, too.
03:57Caption, a Hallmark original series.
04:00A montage features characters from the little town.
04:02School teacher Elizabeth Thornton, Rosemary Coulter, Lucas Bouchard, Bill Avery, Lee Coulter, Joseph Canfield, and Mountie Nathan Grant.
04:12The title appears, when he calls the heart.
04:15In the woods, Lee stands on a bridge fishing.
04:23The reel spins.
04:25Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:28There you go.
04:28No matter what I do, come on, gee, what are you, Moby Dick?
04:32No matter how hard I reel, I just can't pull it up.
04:35And that's it?
04:36Yep, that's it.
04:37With rosemary.
04:38Breakfast?
04:38No, no, wait just a second.
04:40We are going to see what Dr. Freud has to say about this.
04:43Rosie, it's just a dream.
04:44A recurring dream?
04:46Okay, you know what?
04:46I'm going to put on some coffee.
04:48Yo.
04:48Aha, here it is.
04:52Fishing symbolizes dreamers need to bring something to the surface.
04:58Well, that's the whole point.
04:59I can't.
04:59Exactly.
05:00I think the reason you can't bring it out of the water is because your subconscious mind is suppressing whatever it is the fish represents.
05:11So what do you think it is?
05:13I don't know.
05:14Maybe a marlin?
05:15Or a trout?
05:16Big tuna?
05:17Ha ha.
05:17You are going to laugh yourself right back into the infirmary.
05:21Or worse.
05:22Oh, come on, sweetheart.
05:24No, you come on.
05:26You're not the one who had to watch the love of your life grasping his chest and struggling to breathe.
05:32You're absolutely right.
05:34Sweetheart, I promise you, I will do exactly what you tell me to do.
05:40All right?
05:41Okay.
05:42Okay.
05:42As soon as I get home from the office, I have to meet with the new contractor.
05:45No.
05:45Fernando, yes.
05:47No work.
05:47No office.
05:49On the boardwalk with Allie and LJ.
05:52Can you bring me to the clinic every morning?
05:55It was fun in Cape Fullerton, wasn't it?
05:57I miss riding the carousel with you.
06:00Aw.
06:00Me too.
06:02I'll show my sister.
06:03Then we can do everything together forever.
06:06Hi, honey bear.
06:07You all done with Dr. Carter?
06:08I'm a model patient.
06:09I'm a model patient, as always.
06:11Allie's coming for dinner.
06:13And Mountain Ethan.
06:15Tonight?
06:16Forever.
06:17Bill appears.
06:17Um, where's my invitation to this dinner, young man?
06:20You can come too.
06:21I wouldn't want to impose.
06:23Not at all.
06:24There's room for everyone.
06:25Uh, I can help you cook.
06:26He turns to Bill.
06:28Can I talk to you for a sec?
06:30Okay, kiddos.
06:31Let's see if Minnie has any muffins.
06:32Mmm.
06:33Bye!
06:34So the last of the maps came in from Pioneer Electric.
06:39And?
06:39It's a dead end.
06:40None of their equipment's near the fire's area of origin.
06:42Unfortunately, there's no way to know where that concrete came from.
06:45Doesn't leave us many leads, does it?
06:47Just one.
06:48Bill looks down the street at an approaching vintage car.
06:53You expecting someone?
06:54Is that a crime?
06:56No.
06:57This...
06:57I didn't know we both were.
07:00The car stops outside the visitor's center.
07:03And a young white man in a red Mountie uniform steps out.
07:08Name's Elmore Briggs.
07:10Constable Grant?
07:11Briggs.
07:12Welcome to Hope Alley.
07:15Georgie steps out and smiles at Bill.
07:20Hello, Bill.
07:21Lovely to see you.
07:23Hello, Georgie.
07:25They share a smile.
07:28Now at the cafe, Alley enters with Elizabeth and LJ.
07:31She walks up to Oliver.
07:33Whoa, we have some muffins for the rest of us.
07:36Hi, Alley.
07:37These aren't just for me.
07:38Your dad wanted me to get some.
07:39My dad does love muffins.
07:41And as constable, it's within his rights to commandeer as many as he wants.
07:45Mm-hmm.
07:46Well, I gotta get back.
07:48See ya.
07:48Bye, Alley.
07:49He goes to the door and then turns back and waves.
07:52Alley smiles and waves back.
07:54Elizabeth watches from a distance and smiles.
07:57On the boardwalk with Nathan, Georgie, Elmore, and Bill.
08:00What's that called again?
08:02Polygraph machine, sir.
08:03It's going to revolutionize detective work.
08:05Did you know about this?
08:07Yes.
08:07Headquarters thought it'd be helpful for the investigation.
08:10The young constable and I enjoyed a spirited debate on the train.
08:14Science versus instinct.
08:16When it comes to detecting a lie, a polygraph is far more reliable.
08:21Human intuition, or instinct, can be influenced by any number of factors.
08:25A machine has no such deficiencies.
08:27Well, a Mountie's intuition is a different breed.
08:29Remember that young man.
08:31We'll test them both.
08:32I'm going to get set up.
08:36Oh, Oliver.
08:37See Operation Muffins was a success?
08:40Go help Constable Briggs clear up the desk and set the polygraph.
08:43Yes, sir.
08:44Judge Avery.
08:45Inspector McGill.
08:46Oh, offer him a muffin.
08:50So, Georgie, how long are you staying with us?
08:52As long as it takes to help Miss Martell get national insurance to pony up to its Benson Hill policyholders.
08:57They are pulling some fast ones on denying the claims.
09:01I recommended her to Edie, because nobody's better at using forensics to sniff out how these companies try to hide their illicit funds in their books.
09:09Well, smart move.
09:10He turns to Georgie.
09:12Say, uh, why don't you join us later?
09:15You know, for the, what do Briggs call it, the, the calibration.
09:20I might just enjoy seeing your new toy in action.
09:24Come on.
09:25I'll walk you over to the office.
09:27Meanwhile, at the saloon, Lucas looks up from his desk.
09:31He furrows his brow.
09:35He steps into the saloon and then walks up to Edie as she struggles to drag a table.
09:40You seem to have an affinity for moving heavy furniture.
09:43You're the one who keeps coming to my aid despite the peril.
09:47It's simply an affinity for you.
09:50I don't suppose you're free for dinner.
09:52Regrettably, no.
09:53I'm hosting a charity poker tournament tonight.
09:57I should have guessed the moving of tables wasn't simply for sport.
10:00Well, it actually is.
10:02Kind of.
10:02The Benson Hills Recreation Center isn't covered by territorial relief funds, so I'm helping
10:09them to raise some money.
10:11Well, I can take that up with the council and chip in, so to speak.
10:16Oh, Lucas, I'm not asking for your money.
10:18I think you'd agree.
10:19Well, I can hold my own at a poker table.
10:22Oh, I guess we'll see tonight.
10:24Lucas watches her go and smiles.
10:29At home, Rosemary opens her front door.
10:32Faith, what a lovely surprise.
10:33Come on in.
10:35I have news about Gwendolyn's father.
10:38Is she here?
10:39Yes, yes.
10:40She's right out back.
10:41Gwen!
10:42Oh, my gosh.
10:45What's going on?
10:46Is he okay?
10:47Hi, Gwen.
10:47Your dad is more than okay.
10:49His doctor from Buxton Hospital called me and told me that he's no longer at risk of infection.
10:54So, they're allowing visitors now.
10:57We can go today if you like.
10:59Okay, I have to get ready.
11:01Go, go get ready.
11:02I have to get the...
11:03It's all right.
11:03I'll get it for you.
11:04Go on.
11:05Gwen hurries upstairs.
11:07Thank you for coming to deliver such happy news.
11:10The pleasure's all mine.
11:12How are you doing, Lee?
11:15I mean, I'm not as good as that, but all in all, I'm doing pretty good, I think.
11:20I've been reminding him to breathe.
11:22Always a good idea.
11:24Ah, yeah.
11:24Okay, fine.
11:27At the saloon, Lucas knocks over a white man with a beard.
11:31Oh, my gosh.
11:33I am so sorry.
11:34You should watch where you're going, amigo.
11:35You're absolutely right.
11:36Please let me help you up.
11:37The man stands up and stares.
11:40Governor Bouchard.
11:41Mr. Arroyo, are you all right?
11:43Yes, all's well.
11:44No, it's completely my fault.
11:46I shouldn't walk and read at the same time.
11:47Mike, would you please pour this gentleman a drink?
11:50On me.
11:50Immediately.
11:51I picked up a little Espanol on my honeymoon down in Miami.
11:55Are these plans for the Benson Hills rebuild?
11:57You know about it?
12:00Intimately.
12:02Fernando Arroyo.
12:04Coulter Construction's new contractor.
12:07Lucas Bouchard at your service.
12:08I was hoping to meet with Mr. Coulter as soon as I checked in.
12:12I'm afraid Mr. Coulter's wife has him on a new health regimen that limits his weekend work.
12:18Well, I have no such regimen.
12:20Or wife.
12:22I'm happy to share my ideas for those plans if you're interested.
12:26Ideas are exactly what I'm interested in.
12:28Please.
12:28Lee drives down a dirt road with Gwen.
12:32He stops outside a rural gas station with two men outside.
12:39Hey there, boys.
12:40Fill it up for us.
12:41Here we go.
12:43Thank you very much.
12:44Gwen holds a walking stick and studies a carved bear head on top.
12:48Hey, take my word for it.
12:50He's going to love it.
12:51It's not smooth enough.
12:52Are you kidding me?
12:54I can only wish to carve like that.
12:56I don't want to go anymore.
12:58Wait, why?
12:59Can we just go back?
13:02Please.
13:02Gwen, your dad is going to be so excited to see you.
13:05That's the real gift here, not the stick.
13:08No.
13:09I just can't go.
13:12I can't.
13:14Okay.
13:15All right?
13:17If that's what you really want, I'm fine with that.
13:21It's okay.
13:22If there was a torture device in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, this would be it.
13:31It's more H.G. Wells to me, but not quite a time machine.
13:35Or a self-made ticker tape.
13:37Yeah.
13:39Trust me, I've heard it all, but wait till you see it in action.
13:42Now, who wants to tell me with the calibration?
13:44Oh, you need a guinea pig.
13:45Nathan and Bill look at Oliver, eating.
13:49You're up.
13:50Hmm?
13:52Oliver sits down and Elmore steps forward.
13:54Arms up.
13:56Lean forward.
13:59Thank you for the muffin, by the way.
14:01Elmore straps him in and then puts down playing cards.
14:04The device measures heartbeat, blood pressure, and respiration.
14:09The readouts are recorded here.
14:12A cylinder graph.
14:13You're nervous.
14:15I could have told you that.
14:17Don't touch the cards, constable, but pick one and don't tell me which one.
14:22Oliver nods.
14:24All right, then.
14:25What's your full name?
14:27Oliver Marion Garrett.
14:29Elmore watches the moving graph needle.
14:31In which city or town were you born?
14:34I, I don't know.
14:37The needle moves.
14:39What's your favorite food?
14:41Liverwurst.
14:42Elmore watches the needle.
14:46Now the cards.
14:48One by one, I'll ask you if each card is the one that you selected.
14:51I want you to answer no to all of them, including the one that you chose.
14:54Understood?
14:55Is your card the ace of spades?
14:57No.
14:59Is your card the queen of hearts?
15:02No.
15:02Is your card the king of diamonds?
15:05No.
15:06Your card is the queen of hearts.
15:11That's right.
15:14Boys and their toys.
15:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, constable.
15:18I want to ask one question.
15:20Nathan sits down in front of him.
15:21Oliver, why don't you tell me just what you really think of what you had for breakfast this morning?
15:33Oh, I liked it a lot.
15:40Bill made waffles.
15:42Elmore studies the moving needle and gives a thumbs up.
15:45I'm going to have to try these waffles.
15:50Indeed.
15:51Georgie, why don't you join us for dinner tonight at Elizabeth's?
15:55Bill's coming.
15:56Oh, I'm sure she has other plans.
15:58Liz, that would be wonderful.
16:00We could walk there together if you'd like.
16:03I'd like that very much.
16:04In a big city cafe, Christopher sits at a table and studies a piece of paper.
16:12Gowan appears and sits across from him.
16:16Christopher looks up at him.
16:18Ben.
16:19Gowan slides a small vase of flowers out of the way.
16:22What are you doing here?
16:23He puts down the two chunks of concrete.
16:25Christopher looks at him.
16:26Tell me about this.
16:33Why?
16:34Do you even know what that is?
16:35Constable Grant found this mysterious concrete where the fire started.
16:42He asked me if I knew what it was.
16:45I didn't.
16:48It's the one that found the same thing in the trunk of your car.
16:51Well, I learned from the past, didn't I?
16:59Learned this.
17:01Whatever your involvement in this is, whatever you stand to gain, it ain't worth it.
17:08It's just business.
17:09No, it's not.
17:12Don't trade your humanity for a paycheck.
17:16Don't talk to me about my humanity.
17:18You've treated yours my whole life instead of being a father to me yourself.
17:29That's fair.
17:34Look at me.
17:36Look what I got for him.
17:39Sitting where you are now.
17:42I lost all those years.
17:44Never get him back.
17:45Neither of us will.
17:48This is your moment of truth.
17:55I don't think it was an accident that you left this in the trunk of your car.
18:00I think that there was a part of you that wanted someone to find it.
18:06I'm talking to that part right now.
18:08Yeah, well, it's too late now, anyways.
18:13No, it's not too late.
18:15You don't have to condemn those boys for your mistake.
18:20You talk to Constable Grant, you unburden yourself.
18:23If you don't know what you're feeling right now, then I'll never leave you.
18:33You've got a decision to make.
18:45I hope you make the right one.
18:49Christopher's eyes fill with tears.
18:51Gowan stands up and goes to the cafe door.
18:53At the saloon office with Fernando.
19:01I used poured concrete bricks on dozens of homes when Pine Creek opened for development last year.
19:06That was you?
19:07I approve that.
19:09Smart.
19:11Concrete is better looking and more fire resistant.
19:14How have we not met before?
19:17Because I was a cowboy until just a few years ago.
19:22Herding cattle, training horses.
19:25My other passion.
19:27You're a true renaissance man.
19:30I follow my heart's desires, that's all.
19:33Fernando, thank you.
19:35I need to make a stop at home before my evening plans today.
19:39And we still need to find time to take in an automobile race.
19:42I would love that, Governor.
19:43Oh, Lucas, please.
19:46Do you play poker?
19:47Play?
19:49No.
19:50I live for poker.
19:52Why do you ask?
19:54Because you're going to be my guest tonight at a charity poker event.
19:57If you're free, of course.
19:59It will be my pleasure, Lucas.
20:06Lee comes to a stop on a dirt road.
20:08Why are we stopping?
20:15You smell that, kettle?
20:17What?
20:18Fresh water.
20:19A little breeze on the face.
20:21Maybe just a smidge of good luck.
20:23Are you having another episode?
20:25No, I am not having another episode, thank you very much.
20:29We just so happen to be near one of my favorite honey holes.
20:31Pond for fishing.
20:34So, what do you say?
20:37Why?
20:38What do you mean, why?
20:39It's a beautiful day, and even though it's not technically on the clipboard list of approved
20:44relaxation activities, I think Rosie might let it slide.
20:47Where are we going to get rods and bait?
20:50Oh, ye of little faith.
20:52Come on, young one, let's go.
20:54They step out of the vehicle.
20:57See, Henry keeps, uh, or Mr. Gowan, always keeps something here for anybody driving by
21:02who might want a little tranquility.
21:04There you go.
21:06He hands her a fishing rod and a can of worms.
21:09So, do you know how to bait a hook?
21:12Watch me.
21:13She takes a worm.
21:14It's a good one.
21:15My dad taught me to leave the tail dangling, like this, so the fish sees it.
21:21Hmm.
21:22But how do you know which end is the tail?
21:26You're funny.
21:27Sort of.
21:28They sit on the bank and fish.
21:34I don't get it.
21:35Hmm?
21:36You thought you had a heart attack, but you didn't.
21:39So, why do you still have to be doing all this relaxing?
21:42Um, because my wife is smarter than me, and she loves me.
21:45My mom loved my dad, but she died.
21:50And now my dad just has me.
21:55Um, um, I'm sorry about your mom.
22:00She'd been sick for a while.
22:02Dad took me to the hospital every day.
22:05I hated seeing her there.
22:06Everyone kept telling me she'd get better.
22:12Yeah.
22:15Sometimes, uh, Gwen, they...
22:17Sometimes people just don't.
22:20I'm so sorry, Gwen.
22:21Now, everyone keeps telling me my dad is going to be fine, but people who are fine don't go to the hospital for this long.
22:30Hey.
22:32Look at me.
22:33This is important, all right?
22:34Your dad is not sick the way your mom was.
22:37I promise you that.
22:38The worst thing that's going to happen is we're going to go to the hospital, and you're going to see a big white plaster cast on his leg.
22:43That's it.
22:44If anything, it's just going to look kind of funny.
22:46Really?
22:47Yes.
22:48Seeing you is going to give him hope.
22:51It's going to put a big old smile on his face, huh?
22:54Like that.
22:55Yes, like that one right there.
22:57You should have seen his smile when we got to the top of Mount Kilwauke last summer.
23:00Oh, yeah?
23:01He carried me on his shoulders most of the way, and we camped out for two whole weeks, and he taught me all about the constellations.
23:08That sounds like a lot of fun.
23:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I think you got one.
23:15He's a fighter, but I got him.
23:18Easy there, fella.
23:19Keep it going, keep it going.
23:20Come on.
23:22Oh, I got him, I got him, I got him.
23:24There we go.
23:26He pulls in a fish.
23:27Look at that.
23:29He's a beaut.
23:30Beautilicious.
23:32My dad's the word for pretty animals that taste good.
23:36That's a good word.
23:37Won't Rosemary be surprised when we bring home this beautilicious fish for dinner?
23:41Can we go see my dad first?
23:48Absolutely we can, kiddo.
23:50I'll just put this guy on ice, and then you two can take all the time you want.
23:52Thank you, Mr. Coulter.
23:56It is my absolute pleasure.
23:58Gwen smiles.
23:59Thank you for having us, Elizabeth, Nathan.
24:04These are for you.
24:05Oh, my goodness, they're gorgeous.
24:07I'll just put them in water, please.
24:10Uncle Bill!
24:11Oh, Jackaroo!
24:13Hey!
24:13Actually, he's going by LJ now.
24:17LJ, huh?
24:18It's still like Jackaroo.
24:19There's no little.
24:21Oh, that is a good point.
24:23Jackaroo stands.
24:24Yes, it does.
24:25Hi, Judge Avery.
24:26Hey, hi, Allie.
24:28You guys remember my friend Inspector McGill, don't you?
24:31Also known as X-Ray McGill.
24:33Oh, will you stop with that?
24:35Nice to see you again, Inspector McGill.
24:38Hi, Inspector X-Ray.
24:39No, it's Inspector McGill.
24:43Uncle Bill just has the funnies tonight.
24:45How'd she get the nickname?
24:47It was in forensics class in RCMP basic training.
24:51Bill started calling me that, and it stuck.
24:54Because she was so good at reading people,
24:56she could always tell if someone was lying.
24:59And apparently there is a machine that can do that now.
25:02So you mean the polygraph?
25:04That's right.
25:05Word spreads fast.
25:06People have to tell the truth, or they get in trouble.
25:09Right?
25:10Well, the idea is that it can tell if people are lying or not.
25:13But if they get in trouble afterwards, that's a separate issue.
25:16LJ, let's see if you can tell if I'm lying or telling the truth.
25:21I brought you a brand new box of Crayola crayons.
25:26Oh, boy!
25:27I think it's the truth!
25:28You're right!
25:29Ha!
25:30Thank you, Inspector McGill!
25:32You're welcome, Mr. Jackaroo.
25:33And I understand we have a budding young writer with us this evening.
25:38She gives Allie a pen.
25:39Inspector McGill, thank you.
25:43That's very thoughtful.
25:45That's awful sweet of you.
25:46Hey, let's go find some paper.
25:48Yeah!
25:49Thanks again, Inspector.
25:51Have fun, you two!
25:53Well, I should check on dessert.
25:56I hope you all like lemon curd.
25:58Oh, it smells delicious.
26:00Yes, it does.
26:01It's Nathan's favorite.
26:02Yes.
26:03It's the best dessert that I ever had.
26:05Better than my mother's blueberry pie.
26:07Bill and Georgie share a look.
26:09At home, Rosemary wipes a bowl as Lee and Gwen enter.
26:12Welcome home.
26:15Hey, sweetheart.
26:17I'm going to bed if that's okay.
26:19Oh, of course, kiddo.
26:20Yeah.
26:21Sweet dreams.
26:23Gwen disappears upstairs.
26:26Is she okay?
26:32What happened at the hospital?
26:34Sweetheart, I wish you'd have been there.
26:36It was beautiful.
26:37She and James were over at the moon to see each other.
26:40They talked for hours.
26:42I thought I got a little choked up myself.
26:47Oh, of course you did.
26:49You're a big old softy, Leland, Colter.
26:51Sometimes.
26:52And I got dinner.
26:55Did a little fishing.
26:57It's your dream.
26:59No, not like the dream.
27:02Okay, well, a little bit, maybe.
27:05I suppose it made me realize that I want to spend more one-on-one time with Colby.
27:10So, starting tomorrow, it's going to be daddy-daughter berry picking, followed by daddy-daughter ice cream lunch, if that could be on the approved list of relaxation activities.
27:21It can be added.
27:22Excellent.
27:22So, it seems as though Dr. Freud was right.
27:30Pays to take the time to reach down into the water to see what might be lurking below the surface?
27:36Mm-mm.
27:37It was dinner, Rosie.
27:38It was a beautalicious dinner lurking below the surface.
27:43Beautalicious.
27:44Uh-huh.
27:46Okay.
27:48Lee smiles.
27:49Now back to Elizabeth.
27:50More dessert, anyone?
27:52No, no, thank you, Elizabeth.
27:53You're going to have to take me out of here in a wheelbarrow.
27:55I'm afraid I'm going to have to wave the white flag as well.
27:59Me too.
28:00What about you, Nathan?
28:01Any room for more lemon card?
28:02Oh, I think I'll be joining Bill in that wheelbarrow if I have any more.
28:05But please, save some for tomorrow.
28:06That stuff is gold.
28:08All right.
28:09I'm going to get ready for bed now.
28:10Can Ali read to me?
28:13Of course.
28:15Ali steps away with LJ.
28:18They are such great kids.
28:21Amen to that.
28:22I couldn't agree more.
28:22I loved watching LJ try to wrap his brain around the polygraph.
28:27Kids, they have no fear of this newfangled technology.
28:31I think it's couples that could benefit the most from the polygraph.
28:34Hmm.
28:35I actually think that total honesty is more suited for best friends than for couples.
28:40People want a little mystery with their romance.
28:44I disagree.
28:46Nathan and I don't have any secrets, do we?
28:49That's right.
28:49Bill twists his neck and raises an eyebrow.
28:54What?
28:54What is that?
28:55Oh, my neck.
28:56Must have pulled something.
28:59Really?
29:00Okay.
29:02It's pretty clear that you're not honest with Elizabeth about everything.
29:06What is that supposed to mean?
29:07What are you getting at, Bill?
29:09You really want to know?
29:10I'm an open book.
29:12The lemon curd.
29:14Hmm.
29:15Clearly not your favorite constable.
29:18What?
29:19See that reaction?
29:20A little over the top.
29:21Yeah.
29:21I'm sorry, my friend.
29:22My love and devotion for Elizabeth's lemon curd is unassailable.
29:28Hmm.
29:29What do you think, X-Ray McGill?
29:31Oh, yeah.
29:32He can't stand it.
29:34Your voice goes up at the end.
29:35Yeah.
29:36Really?
29:36Very funny.
29:37Never mind.
29:38I mean, we are off the clock.
29:39Yeah, forget it.
29:40Your voice did kind of go up at the end.
29:45You too, Elizabeth?
29:46Oh, you just did it again.
29:48Well, I was asking a question.
29:49Your voice actually goes up at the end of a question.
29:51There is one way we could settle this.
29:53The polygraph?
29:55Oh, right.
29:56Sure.
29:58Well, why not?
30:01Uh, well, um, for starters, it's pretty late to call on Constable Briggs, right?
30:07Even in the interest of science?
30:10He said it could always use more testing and calibrating.
30:13The machine could use more testing and calibrating, Nathan.
30:16Isn't that a fact, Bill?
30:17Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
30:19Uh, we couldn't help overhearing.
30:23Can we come, too?
30:24Please?
30:25LJ has been asking to see the polygraph.
30:28It'll be educational.
30:30Let's go!
30:32Yay!
30:32Uh, guys, this, uh, we're...
30:37Nathan sits alone.
30:39At the jail, Elmore straps Nathan into the chair.
30:44Well, I hope you're all enjoying this.
30:46Well, we are.
30:47All those wires and buttons.
30:50Thanks for letting us come, Dad.
30:52You're very welcome.
30:53Although I think somebody else should be sitting in this chair.
30:56Why?
30:57You have nothing to worry about, right?
30:58Right.
30:59It's just, you know, this technology, it's not 100%.
31:04That's a fact.
31:05Actually, Mounties invariably get the most accurate readings
31:07because of our training, temperaments, and reverence for the truth.
31:13See?
31:14You have the perfect temperament and reverence.
31:18Please don't touch that.
31:22Sorry.
31:23The needle moves.
31:24Actually, you're not.
31:25What?
31:26We're up and running.
31:27We should have brought popcorn.
31:29And we're ready to start.
31:31What's your full name?
31:33Nathan Archibald Grant.
31:35Elmore watches the needle move.
31:38In which city or town were you born?
31:41Winnipeg.
31:44Is Elizabeth Thornton's lemon curd your favorite dessert?
31:49Nathan looks over at Elizabeth, then locks eyes with Bill and Georgie.
31:54Elizabeth smiles at him and leans forward.
31:57Yes.
32:00They all watch the needle move.
32:03Not true, constable.
32:08Mountie Nathan lied?
32:10Well, according to the polygraph.
32:13LJ, you know, we're just testing the machine.
32:15So you meant to lie.
32:17Well, not really.
32:21These polygraphs, they're not 100% accurate.
32:24Constable, due respect, but this is as clear and definitive a result as we did on the model 45972G.
32:32Constable, I'm sure it is.
32:33That's great.
32:34Elizabeth, look.
32:34I love your lemon curd because I love you.
32:39Elmore checks the graph.
32:43That's true.
32:44Okay, well, that's not exactly the same.
32:46No, it is, really.
32:47I don't mind saying this in front of everybody here, but my love for you is so much bigger than some dessert because it means the world to me.
32:59Just like you mean the world to me.
33:00Is that when you're going to marry my mama, LJ, Nathan?
33:07Well, that's a funny question, LJ.
33:10I wasn't trying to be funny.
33:13Um, of course not.
33:15Uh, well, I was thinking...
33:17Christopher bursts in.
33:19Ah, I'm so sorry.
33:22I didn't realize...
33:23No, Christopher, what can we do for you?
33:26Christopher looks out the door, then back at Nathan.
33:30I don't suppose you'd join me at my table.
33:42With pleasure.
33:45Buenas noches, Senora Arroyo.
33:47Glad to see the two of you aren't butting heads anymore.
33:50Thanks, Mike.
33:51Quite the opposite, in fact.
33:52Un poquito de...
33:53I scoured the papers for every upcoming automobile race
33:56and found there's a Roscoe Champions event next Saturday afternoon
33:59at the Bertette Speedway in Devereaux City.
34:02I'll be there.
34:03I don't suppose you'd mind if I invited a certain special lady friend of mine
34:07who I think might enjoy it, too.
34:08Ladies are always welcome.
34:12Excellent.
34:13Because you are about to meet her.
34:17Edie, I would love to introduce you to my brilliant, talented new friend...
34:21Fernando.
34:22Well, you two already know each other.
34:25Indeed.
34:27You have excellent taste in ladies, my friend.
34:30Fernando worked on my Uncle Ernie's ranch
34:32the summer that I lived there before law school.
34:37The summer that you met your fiancé?
34:40Ex-fiancé.
34:42Fernando looks at him
34:45and Lucas raises his eyebrows.
34:48Back at the jail,
34:50Georgie smiles at Bill and leaves.
34:52Elizabeth and Nathan.
34:54So, we just, uh...
34:57check in tomorrow.
34:58Of course.
35:00Good night.
35:02Good night.
35:03Elizabeth leaves the jail.
35:08So, Christopher,
35:11what can we do for you?
35:12I know what started the wildfire.
35:19And it wasn't those boys.
35:23Later in the jail with Christopher.
35:25The morning after the fire started,
35:27I was called into this meeting with my, uh...
35:31my boss, Shelby Whitaker and Patrick McDougal,
35:33this Pioneer Electric chief technician.
35:35They wanted me to go and retrieve
35:37what was left of this...
35:39this transformer box.
35:41In that spot you showed my dad a few days ago.
35:43Whoa, wait.
35:44He told you about that?
35:48Yeah, only after.
35:49About these.
35:52In the...
35:53trunk of my car.
35:55He hands the two concrete chunks to Bill.
35:57Guess I got a little sloppy
35:59and left some behind.
36:00So the transformer
36:04started the fire.
36:08Mr. Whitaker knew it.
36:10Mr. McDougal knew it.
36:11They talked about it.
36:12Well, wait a minute.
36:13This map that your company provided,
36:14it shows that that transformer
36:16is at least two miles away from that spot.
36:19The new one.
36:20Well, that's dated two weeks before the fire.
36:24It's backdated.
36:26You mean fraudulent.
36:29I didn't mean for those boys to get in trouble.
36:33Where is the transformer right now?
36:37Mr. Whitaker wanted me to dump it
36:38in the Brookhaven River,
36:39but I couldn't bring myself to do that,
36:42so I buried it in the foothills
36:44north of Buxton.
36:45Do you remember where?
36:46I think so.
36:47You need to show me
36:48where you buried it tomorrow morning.
36:51You're doing the right thing.
36:53Your old man would be proud of you.
36:55I can't say I'd be here
36:57if he hadn't figured it out.
37:03So I guess it's a good thing he did, right?
37:06After hours at the cafe,
37:08Minnie serves tea to Yulia,
37:09Joseph, Cooper, and Toby.
37:11Remember, his nickname is Home Run.
37:13Unfortunately for him,
37:14his teammate's Babe Ruth.
37:15Who had 59 Home Runs last year.
37:18The Babe hit 59.
37:20And Home Run himself only hit 10.
37:22So embarrassing, right?
37:23We're just wondering,
37:25at what point is he going to consider
37:26changing his nickname?
37:27The door opens,
37:29and they all stand up.
37:31Good evening, Nathan.
37:33Bill?
37:33Good evening.
37:35Mrs. Kavilenko, Toby.
37:37I'm glad you're both here as well.
37:39Is there any news?
37:41Good news.
37:41We just received information,
37:45all but confirming that the wildfire
37:46was not caused by the boys' campfire.
37:50So this means...
37:52Toby, Cooper,
37:53you're no longer under investigation.
37:57So it's over.
38:00It's over.
38:02Praise be!
38:03Thank you, Lisa!
38:04Thank you, Lisa!
38:05Thank you, Lisa!
38:05Oh, my God!
38:06They all hug,
38:07and Nathan shakes Joseph's hand.
38:08At home,
38:10Elizabeth shares a bowl of lemon curd
38:12with rosemary.
38:13So,
38:14after telling LJ
38:15he was funny for asking,
38:17he just started sputtering.
38:18If he was an airplane,
38:19he would have fallen out of the sky.
38:21Oh, my.
38:22Well, LJ did put him on the spot.
38:24Even if he didn't mean to.
38:25Exactly.
38:26And poor Nathan,
38:27he must have felt so uncomfortable
38:28being asked in front of so many people.
38:31Yes, that must be it.
38:35What?
38:37You think maybe...
38:37What?
38:41Well, I just can't help wondering
38:43why he didn't just say yes.
38:47Rosemary,
38:47there must be plenty of reasons.
38:50Mm-hmm.
38:50This is the part where you agree
38:52and reassure me.
38:54I'm sorry.
38:55Don't ask me.
38:56I don't know.
38:56I don't even know what Lee's dreams mean.
38:58What do Lee's dreams have to do
38:59with any of this?
39:01The point is...
39:02I don't know what the point is.
39:04What is the point?
39:05Don't look at me.
39:06It's your point.
39:07Dreams.
39:09They could mean anything.
39:13As good Nathan's sputtering.
39:15Hmm.
39:15Point taken.
39:17But again,
39:18not very reassuring.
39:19Elizabeth,
39:20I'm sure you have nothing
39:21to worry about.
39:22Mm-hmm.
39:23I say,
39:24more lemon curd
39:24than sleep.
39:26Hmm?
39:26At this point,
39:27that's exactly what I need.
39:28But you like it, right?
39:31My lemon curd?
39:31Mm-hmm.
39:35Rosemary crinkles her nose
39:37and looks at the lemon curd.
39:39Oh, no.
39:40Under a bright moon,
39:42Gowan and Christopher
39:42sit outside
39:43and toast with brown liquor.
39:46They sit side by side
39:47and drink.
39:48Oh, no.
39:48Oh, no.
39:49Oh, no.
39:49Oh, no.
39:50Oh, no.
39:50Oh, no.
39:51Oh, no.
39:52Oh, no.
39:52Oh, no.
39:52Oh, no.
39:53Oh, no.
39:54Oh, no.
39:54Oh, no.
39:55Oh, no.
39:56Oh, no.
39:56Oh, no.
39:57Oh, no.
39:58Oh, no.
39:59Oh, no.
40:00Oh, no.
40:02Gowan puts his arm around him
40:03and they sit in silence.
40:14Elizabeth goes to her front door
40:15and opens it to Nathan.
40:19Nathan, hi.
40:20Okay.
40:21He hurries inside.
40:24I'm sorry about last night.
40:25I don't know what I was thinking.
40:27And then Christopher showed up
40:28and by the time that was over
40:29it was too late to come over here
40:30which is all I really wanted to do
40:31so I could explain to you
40:31that LJ's question
40:33it's not like I've never
40:34thought about it before
40:35but, you know, honestly
40:36we've never really talked about it.
40:38Yes, I was hesitant
40:39and there was many reasons for that.
40:40One, of course,
40:41is that I was sitting down
40:42and everyone was staring at me
40:43but none of those reasons
40:45were because of what I feel for you
