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