00:00:53You have it?
00:01:15It's good.
00:01:32It's good.
00:02:10Please!
00:02:11Stop!
00:02:12Please!
00:02:14Don't do this.
00:02:15You don't understand what's happening here, okay?
00:02:18No, no, please!
00:02:48Please!
00:02:51Don't do this.
00:03:17There haven't been any major crimes in Sweet River for a while now.
00:03:20I guess that's not a bad thing.
00:03:23For book club it is.
00:03:24Ah, but is it for the novel crimes club?
00:03:28Huh?
00:03:29Novel.
00:03:30How about the plot thickens club?
00:03:34Murder by the book club.
00:03:38Still just book club then?
00:03:40Yeah.
00:03:40Yeah.
00:03:41No major crimes is definitely a good thing, but we need something else to investigate.
00:03:46Well, I did come up with an idea.
00:03:48We could try to solve some cold cases.
00:03:53Unsolved crimes that have stymied authorities.
00:03:55Like Bigfoot.
00:03:57All right.
00:03:57Bigfoot isn't an unsolved case.
00:04:00Come on, everyone knows it's just a guy in a Chewbacca costume messing with people.
00:04:04Yeah, it doesn't need to be high profile.
00:04:06Perhaps we could find something a little closer to home.
00:04:09It's the perfect way for us to continue what we're doing without getting into any real trouble.
00:04:14Professor?
00:04:16Yes, Lily.
00:04:17I found a Texas cold case foundation that catalogues unsolved murders, disappearances, and suspicious deaths.
00:04:25Oh.
00:04:25Check this out.
00:04:27A cold case about a sweet river man who mysteriously died while out on a hike ten years ago right
00:04:31here in Beacon Hill Park.
00:04:32That would be a good case.
00:04:34Yeah.
00:04:34Yeah.
00:04:39What?
00:04:47Did I say something wrong?
00:04:48Yes.
00:04:50That man who died was Maria's husband.
00:04:54Oh, no.
00:05:05I am so sorry.
00:05:08We didn't know.
00:05:10My husband didn't just die mysteriously, Ainsley.
00:05:15He was murdered.
00:05:22Maria, if I had known...
00:05:25It was my fault.
00:05:27It's okay.
00:05:28Sorry.
00:05:29All of you.
00:05:30Kevin and Lily, you were too young to know anything about it.
00:05:33And Ainsley, you weren't even here then.
00:05:38Every now and then, I think the grief subsided a little, and then it sneaks up on me out of
00:05:44nowhere.
00:05:45Like tonight.
00:05:47If you ever need anyone to talk to, you know I'm always here for you.
00:05:53I just need a few minutes.
00:05:56You all know the story.
00:05:58You can fill them in?
00:06:04I can't even believe I suggested looking into a local cold case without considering.
00:06:09It could have affected one of us.
00:06:16Mark Ravel.
00:06:20Was he related to the mayor?
00:06:22Jane is his sister.
00:06:23And the two of them couldn't have been more different.
00:06:26She was running for mayor the first time when they found him in the ravine by the falls that morning.
00:06:31The official report ruled it an accident.
00:06:34So, technically it's not a cold case.
00:06:37Depends on who you ask.
00:06:38There are a lot of questions surrounding this case.
00:06:42And if you ask me, I think Jane had something to do with it.
00:06:46His own sister?
00:06:47That woman is so crooked, if she swallowed a nail she'd spit out a corkscrew.
00:06:52Oh, you can't possibly believe that.
00:06:54Baby girl, when you've been around as long as I have, you never rule out anything.
00:07:03What makes Mark's death suspicious?
00:07:06Well, for starters, who goes out hiking in the middle of the night?
00:07:10In the winter.
00:07:11Through the snow.
00:07:13That's just the tip of the iceberg.
00:07:18Maria, we don't need to revisit this.
00:07:21No.
00:07:22If we're gonna study a cold case here in book club, we might as well start with this one.
00:07:27Are you sure?
00:07:30Yes.
00:07:32I've spent so many years trying not to think about it, but it's impossible.
00:07:38If nothing else, it might give me some closure.
00:07:43Hey, if I started with it was a dark and stormy night, would that be too much of a cliché?
00:07:55It was our anniversary.
00:07:58Mark had gotten our regular sitter to watch the kids.
00:08:02Booked us a table for two at our favorite restaurant.
00:08:06But in the weeks leading up to that night, Mark was acting strangely.
00:08:10There were mysterious phone calls in the middle of the night.
00:08:14And anytime I asked him what was going on, he would just shut down.
00:08:18In the middle of dinner, Mark got another call.
00:08:21Said he had to go home and deal with something, but he wouldn't tell me what it was.
00:08:27What's going on?
00:08:28I don't know.
00:08:29I remember our babysitter was surprised we were home so early.
00:08:34The kids had just gone to bed.
00:08:39Honey, what's going on?
00:08:42Nothing. Talk to me.
00:08:43It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.
00:08:47And that was the last time I saw Mark alive.
00:08:52And you don't think Mark's death was an accident?
00:08:55It wasn't.
00:08:57I know in my heart there's more to the story.
00:09:02At first, I thought it must have something to do with the watch.
00:09:07A watch?
00:09:09Mark's grandfather's watch.
00:09:10It was a family heirloom, and Mark was very protective of it.
00:09:15I only ever saw him wear it once.
00:09:17The day we got married, and aside from that one day,
00:09:21it was always locked away in the safe.
00:09:25It says here that Valentin Reval was rumored to be the first watchmaker to use a flying ruby set tourbillon.
00:09:33Turbillon.
00:09:34Turbillon.
00:09:35And his watch is making them some of the most valuable in the world.
00:09:39Did you ever have it appraised?
00:09:41He never told me a specific number, but it was significant.
00:09:45There were always watch collectors trying to contact him, offering to buy it, but Mark always politely turned them away.
00:09:55That watch was a symbol of Mark's family's survival.
00:09:59To him, it was priceless.
00:10:06Maybe he had gotten into some trouble and had to sell it.
00:10:12But deep down, I didn't think that could be the reason, but my mind, it was desperate for some crumb
00:10:17of an explanation.
00:10:20If I had never seen that watch again, I would have accepted that as the explanation, but...
00:10:30A few days later, there it was.
00:10:37So it must have been something else. It wasn't about the watch.
00:10:48Maria, I can't imagine what it feels like to have endured what you have.
00:10:55But as far as book club, I don't think it's our place to dredge all of this up.
00:11:03We're not here to discuss books, or solve crimes, or anything else.
00:11:10That's just window dressing.
00:11:13The real reason we're in this club is to remind ourselves that we're not alone.
00:11:18And to help each other.
00:11:21Tonight made me realize that I need help with this.
00:11:25Even if we never solve the case, just understand what happened.
00:11:30It would mean so much to it.
00:11:34So what do you say?
00:11:36I'm in.
00:11:37Me too.
00:11:38Definitely in.
00:11:40Count me in.
00:11:41Well, that Bigfoot Chewbacca angle's pretty intriguing, but I guess I'm in too.
00:11:48I guess we found our next case.
00:11:58Look at the position of his body.
00:12:00He was dead for some time before they found him.
00:12:03Current of the river could have affected his position.
00:12:06Well, the old coroner's report lists multiple musculoskeletal fractures in both arms.
00:12:11Shattered wrists, forearms, elbows.
00:12:14Thanks for getting this, Sierra. Really helpful.
00:12:16Yeah, of course. No problem.
00:12:18It's a bit before my time.
00:12:19I had to dig way back in the database to get it.
00:12:22Body position not consistent with the injuries.
00:12:26Something is hinky here.
00:12:28Mm-hmm.
00:12:28Can you please find your own words, all right?
00:12:31Hinky's my word.
00:12:32My office, my words.
00:12:33Soon you're going to want to be the sheriff, aren't you?
00:12:35No, I don't look good in brown.
00:12:37Speaking of, I love your coat.
00:12:39Where did you get that?
00:12:40Oh, thanks. There's a vintage pop-up in town. I'll take you.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:42You know, instead of hinky, you could have said fishy because the body was found in water.
00:12:49I don't know why you're wasting your time with this. This is the easiest cold case in the world to
00:12:53solve.
00:12:53It's not even a cold case. It's a lukewarm case.
00:12:57I went to middle school with a guy named Luke Warm.
00:13:00True story.
00:13:02Mark was a gambler. He probably owed some debts, tried to use the watch to pay them off, and got
00:13:06killed in the process.
00:13:08Wait, so you agree he was murdered?
00:13:10I didn't agree to anything. Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say murdered.
00:13:14You said killed. I have witnesses.
00:13:15I heard it.
00:13:17You know, he became a weatherman.
00:13:18Who?
00:13:19Luke Warm.
00:13:21Perfect name for a weatherman, right? It's like he was born to do the job.
00:13:23Shouldn't you be at the station waxing your truck or something?
00:13:27No.
00:13:28Fart, you don't do that.
00:13:29All I'm saying is that Mark could have been killed, but not necessarily.
00:13:34But if he was trading his watch to pay off debts, why was it still wearing it when they found
00:13:39him?
00:13:39Because gangsters aren't usually in the watch business. If you owe the money, you have to pay the money.
00:13:44Still, it had value. Why wouldn't they take it?
00:13:48Maybe they didn't have... time.
00:13:53Can we wrap this up?
00:13:54Just admit this is not a lukewarm case.
00:13:56Okay, fine. How would you like me to refer to it?
00:14:00Hinky.
00:14:01Mm-hmm.
00:14:02Mm-hmm.
00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:05It is pretty hinky.
00:14:11Uh, Ains and I are meeting at Dooley's in a little bit if you want to join. We could invite
00:14:14Ryan, make it a double date.
00:14:15Yeah. Double date.
00:14:18Oh, that's just a saying. Just a figure of speech.
00:14:20Me and Ryan? You think I would actually date someone who wears a cowboy hat to work?
00:14:24It's called Stetson.
00:14:27Anyway, here's that photocopy of the police report. I had to get somebody to show me how to use the
00:14:31photocopier. That thing is intense.
00:14:33Well, thank you, Deputy Trainee.
00:14:36You're welcome. Chief?
00:14:39I'd love to join, but it's trivia night down at Yonder's. Let me know if you need anything else, okay?
00:14:45Okay. Bye.
00:14:46Bye, Ciara.
00:14:46Bye.
00:14:48Do you know who Dee Barnes is?
00:14:50Dalton Barnes, yeah. He's the former sheriff before Ryan took over.
00:14:57Are you okay?
00:15:00Do you think I'm doing the right thing?
00:15:03The right thing?
00:15:05I didn't come to Sweet River to meddle in everyone else's lives. I came here to sort through my own.
00:15:12You know something my grandmother used to say? The right thing and the most difficult thing are usually the same
00:15:18thing.
00:15:22You didn't answer my question. Oh, yes, I did. I gotta go check in at the station, but I will
00:15:27see you later.
00:15:28Yes.
00:15:32Bye.
00:15:47Now, that boy didn't stand you up, did he?
00:15:51What?
00:15:52You know, you stand up a girl in Texas. Well, that's as welcome as a wet shoe. He's gonna be
00:15:58on his knees, begging to get her back.
00:16:00No, he's not standing me up. He just had to stop at the fire station.
00:16:03Will you let me know if you need anything, Laura?
00:16:05Okay.
00:16:07Hey, there he is.
00:16:08How you doing?
00:16:09Chief, I was kind of worried about you.
00:16:11I'm all right.
00:16:11You cutting it close?
00:16:12Hi.
00:16:13I know, I know. No work on dates. I will put my computer away in two seconds.
00:16:17One, two, three. Three and a half, three and three quarters.
00:16:23Okay, okay.
00:16:24Four.
00:16:25Work over. Date on.
00:16:28When do you ever stop working?
00:16:30It's true. Sorry.
00:16:32You don't apologize. That's what I love about you.
00:16:37Can I just tell you one thing about the case?
00:16:39Sure.
00:16:40Okay.
00:16:41Mark's grandfather was one of the most famous watchmakers in Russia.
00:16:45He made very prestigious watches for royalty.
00:16:48But World War II completely destroyed his company, his workshops, and his entire inventory.
00:16:56So Mark's watch was more than just a family heirloom.
00:16:59I mean, who knows how many were left?
00:17:01Well, according to what I could find on the net, Mark's might be the only one.
00:17:07It's like finding a Picasso in your basement.
00:17:10Whoa.
00:17:11It's like finding the only Picasso in existence in your basement.
00:17:15Whoa.
00:17:15Somebody must have figured out what he had.
00:17:19Maria said that Mark was getting strange phone calls in the middle of the night that upset him.
00:17:24But he wouldn't tell her what they were about.
00:17:27Well, so maybe the watch became too much of a liability, so he decided to sell it to the person
00:17:32who was threatening him.
00:17:34No, except he didn't.
00:17:35The watch was still on his wrist when they found him.
00:17:38Right.
00:17:39Could have gotten smashed before he made the transaction.
00:17:43If you break a priceless watch, does that make it worthless?
00:17:47Hmm.
00:17:48Depends how broken it is.
00:17:50Is the Picasso still a Picasso if you take a chainsaw to it?
00:17:53Really need to see this watch.
00:17:56Jake Trenton?
00:17:58Hey!
00:17:59They were involved.
00:18:00No, no, no.
00:18:01None of that mayor stuff.
00:18:02You knew me when I had pimples and braces.
00:18:05Oh.
00:18:06And it's so good to see you.
00:18:09Yeah.
00:18:10Um.
00:18:11How rude of me.
00:18:12You must be the famous Ainsley McGregor.
00:18:15You own Bless Your Arts, right?
00:18:17Yes.
00:18:18That's me.
00:18:19Oh.
00:18:19Well, I apologize.
00:18:20I haven't gone by your store to introduce myself.
00:18:22City Hall just keeps me busy.
00:18:26But I respect what a community leader you've become.
00:18:29Bless Your Arts is such an innovative business.
00:18:31And then, of course, the work with your brother in solving those murder cases a couple months ago.
00:18:35That was nothing short of remarkable.
00:18:38It's so nice to finally meet you.
00:18:41It's very nice to meet you, too.
00:18:44So?
00:18:45Another case?
00:18:47Oh.
00:18:47Just, uh, doing some research.
00:18:50Well, enough of my blathering on.
00:18:51I will let the two of you get back to your, uh, meeting.
00:18:55Ainsley.
00:18:56The pleasure is mine.
00:18:59JT.
00:19:00Don't be a stranger.
00:19:01We should, uh, find a time to catch up.
00:19:06All right, then.
00:19:07Bye-bye.
00:19:07Bye.
00:19:09Bye.
00:19:09She's got my vote.
00:19:18Oh, hi, George.
00:19:20Hey, George.
00:19:21You know, Dooley's does a mean brisket sandwich, but there was no way that I would dream of finishing it
00:19:26and not sharing it with my best four-legged friend.
00:19:28Come on.
00:19:29Yes.
00:19:30Somehow he's never as enthusiastic when I bring home a chopped salad.
00:19:34Well, in the rock, paper, scissors of food, brisket always beats salad.
00:19:38Oh, is that so?
00:19:39Mm-hmm.
00:19:39What beats brisket?
00:19:41More brisket?
00:19:43Are you teaching later today?
00:19:45No, not today.
00:19:46I'm meeting Sierra at this little pop-up to do some shopping.
00:19:49Nice.
00:19:49Yeah, and then we have book club tonight.
00:19:51Mm.
00:19:55So you and Jane went to high school together?
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59Yeah.
00:20:00Sweet River Secondary.
00:20:01Old friend of mine.
00:20:02That means you must have also known Mark.
00:20:04Not really.
00:20:05I mean, I met him a few times, but his family sent him to boarding school.
00:20:09He was always getting in trouble, I think.
00:20:11You know, Ryan's theory about him, you know, getting gambling debts, it checks out.
00:20:16Well, Maria never mentioned anything about Mark being a gambler.
00:20:19Maybe he ate it from her.
00:20:23Back to Jane.
00:20:24Uh, you know what?
00:20:24I'm just looking at the time.
00:20:25I gotta get going.
00:20:26Oh, come on.
00:20:28They're not gonna tell me?
00:20:30I'm a big girl.
00:20:30I can take it.
00:20:34Uh, tell you what?
00:20:36What do you think?
00:20:38Jane tea.
00:20:41Were you and Jane more than friends in high school?
00:20:43Were you boyfriend and girlfriend?
00:20:46Okay, fine.
00:20:47Yes, we are gonna do this.
00:20:49Um...
00:20:50Yes, we were.
00:20:52Okay, let me guess.
00:20:53You were quarterback and she was prom with you.
00:20:58Yes, you nailed it, yeah.
00:20:59Really?
00:21:00Mm-hmm.
00:21:01That is so cute.
00:21:02Why didn't you want to tell me that?
00:21:05Well, no, it's not that I didn't want to tell you.
00:21:06It's just...
00:21:07It's not important.
00:21:09It's ancient history.
00:21:10Well, of course it's important.
00:21:11It's your history.
00:21:13And how silly would that be if I was jealous of your teenage puppy love romance?
00:21:18Well, it was a little more serious than that.
00:21:22High school sweethearts?
00:21:24We almost got engaged.
00:21:26Oh.
00:21:27Oh, wow.
00:21:29But I called it off.
00:21:31We were just way too young.
00:21:35I don't think she ever really got over it.
00:21:36I mean...
00:21:38I'm kind of the one that got away.
00:21:43Anyway...
00:21:44That is ancient history.
00:21:46I don't know why I said that.
00:21:49But you were absolutely right.
00:21:51I should have told you and next time...
00:21:54I will.
00:21:57Yeah.
00:21:58Or not.
00:21:59You know?
00:21:59Maybe we don't have to tell each other everything.
00:22:04Okay.
00:22:05Um...
00:22:05I actually do have to go this time.
00:22:13But I will, um...
00:22:15I will see you tomorrow.
00:22:16Okay.
00:22:22Bye.
00:22:29Bye.
00:22:30What do you think of a mare, Georgie?
00:22:34Oh.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:36You're right.
00:22:36She could spend more time creating off-leash parks.
00:22:39And less time bothering the fire chief.
00:22:46The autopsy report didn't find any pulmonary edema.
00:22:50No water in the lungs means Mark didn't drown.
00:22:54Plus the defensive wounds on his arms indicate he hit the ground.
00:22:56Not the water.
00:22:57Well, you know the spot in the park where he fell, right?
00:23:00We've hiked there before.
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02I think so.
00:23:04The river's really narrow at that point.
00:23:10So...
00:23:10So somebody dragged his body into the water?
00:23:14Possibly.
00:23:15Post-martem is my guess.
00:23:16I'm gonna go try these on.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:20Let me know if I can help you find anything you like.
00:23:24Uh...
00:23:24Oh.
00:23:25Yeah.
00:23:25I don't need any help finding something I like.
00:23:27You've got great stuff here.
00:23:29I appreciate that.
00:23:31It's too bad I'm gonna have to close tomorrow.
00:23:33I guess they found someone to pick up the lease in the storefront.
00:23:36Such is the life of a pop-up shop.
00:23:42You're Ainsley McGregor, aren't you?
00:23:44Yes.
00:23:45Have we...
00:23:46No, no, no.
00:23:47But I know all about you from Maria.
00:23:49I'm Peppa.
00:23:50I used to babysit for her and her sister-in-law.
00:23:53Hi, Peppa.
00:23:53Yeah, Maria's mentioned you.
00:23:56Oh, we don't take cash.
00:23:59You can pay by card, but off your phone is usually easiest.
00:24:03Right.
00:24:04Yeah, I, um...
00:24:05I'm still not used to paying for things off of my phone.
00:24:08No worries.
00:24:09Um...
00:24:09Here, I can get that for you.
00:24:11Okay.
00:24:12Uh, yeah.
00:24:13Yeah, here.
00:24:14Wow.
00:24:15Ready?
00:24:18And...
00:24:19There we go.
00:24:20All done.
00:24:21Great.
00:24:22Thanks.
00:24:24What did you decide on?
00:24:26All of it.
00:24:27I sure hope some more autopsies come in so I can pay off my credit card bill after all this.
00:24:32Uh, coroners don't work on commission.
00:24:34Look, I have to buy as much as I can because they're closing tomorrow.
00:24:39W-what are you gonna do with all your inventory, Peppa?
00:24:42Something will work out.
00:24:43It always does.
00:24:45Wait.
00:24:45You could rent one of the big spaces at Bless Your Arts.
00:24:48One of our vendors just left.
00:24:50You could move in immediately if you'd like.
00:24:52Really?
00:24:53Yeah.
00:24:53Oh, thank you.
00:24:55Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:24:57This is amazing news.
00:24:59Yeah, unfortunately not for me and my credit card bill.
00:25:01No.
00:25:16Hey, you two.
00:25:18Ainsley asked me to bring photos of Mark for the board tonight.
00:25:22Use whichever ones you like.
00:25:34You okay?
00:25:36Yeah.
00:25:47Oh.
00:25:48Can't believe I didn't even think to see if Peppa wanted to open her pop-up in here.
00:25:52Oh.
00:25:53Thank you for making it happen.
00:25:55Oh, my pleasure.
00:25:56She'll fit right in.
00:25:57Mm-hmm.
00:25:58So, are you excited about tonight?
00:26:01I'm always excited for Buck Club.
00:26:03Cause if you're not-
00:26:04Easily.
00:26:05Stop it.
00:26:06I'm fine.
00:26:09Okay.
00:26:09I'm sorry.
00:26:10I, I won't ask you again.
00:26:15Before everyone gets here, can I ask you a couple of questions about the watch?
00:26:20Sure.
00:26:21But, uh, I really don't know much about it.
00:26:23It's still in the safe at home.
00:26:24I haven't opened it in years.
00:26:26I can show it to you if you want.
00:26:29Yes.
00:26:30I was gonna ask you anyway if you wouldn't mind coming by my house to water my seedlings.
00:26:34I'm taking Samantha to visit the boys at school.
00:26:36Yeah, of course.
00:26:37No problem.
00:26:39Oh, I can text you the combination to the safe.
00:26:42Yeah, it's probably better I'm not there anyway.
00:26:45You can even take it.
00:26:48I'd rather not see the watch in the state it's in.
00:26:52Okay.
00:26:54I promise I'll be very careful.
00:26:56Mm-hmm.
00:26:58There's no damage you could do to that watch.
00:27:00It, uh, hasn't already been done.
00:27:10Okay, let's start with what we know.
00:27:12Yes, yes.
00:27:13The known knowns.
00:27:14It's what they're called.
00:27:15The things we know that we know.
00:27:17As opposed to the unknown knowns.
00:27:19The things we don't know that we know.
00:27:21Then there's the unknown unknowns.
00:27:23The things we don't know we don't know.
00:27:25And, of course, finally there's the known unknowns.
00:27:27The things we know we don't know.
00:27:31How about we just keep it simple?
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:34Wonderful idea.
00:27:35Okay, we know that Mark was meeting someone the night he was murdered and that it might have had to
00:27:39do with the watch.
00:27:40Clandestine meetings.
00:27:42Mysterious phone calls in the middle of the night.
00:27:44It's safe to assume that he was in some kind of trouble.
00:27:48This is the spot where Mark's body was found.
00:27:52Oh.
00:27:53What?
00:27:55Ironically, that's also very near the pond where Mark first proposed.
00:28:00Under a gorgeous weeping willow tree.
00:28:03Nice work, deputy.
00:28:05Deputy trainee.
00:28:06Let's discuss Mark's background.
00:28:09Is there anything about his past that might be relevant here?
00:28:16We aren't going to get anywhere by being polite.
00:28:19I know what I signed up for.
00:28:21There were rumors Mark had a gambling problem.
00:28:24Did he?
00:28:26He got into some trouble when he was younger, but as a husband and father, he never would have done
00:28:31anything to put us in harm's way.
00:28:33He even put all the bank accounts in my name just to make sure there was never any doubt in
00:28:38my mind.
00:28:38And there wasn't.
00:28:40What about the arrest?
00:28:45Mark had been hanging around a guy named Rance Mosby, a local pawn shop owner in town.
00:28:51He and Rance were working on something, but Mark wouldn't tell me what it was.
00:28:55One night, Mark must have been followed because the police raided Rance's store when he was there.
00:29:01Charges?
00:29:02Running an illegal gambling ring, but Mark was the only one arrested.
00:29:06You can't run a gambling ring by yourself.
00:29:09Mark was not gambling that night.
00:29:11It was a setup.
00:29:12I suspect the police were involved.
00:29:15Our previous sheriff was a man named Dalton Barnes.
00:29:18Mark's sister Jane was just about to be elected mayor.
00:29:21And there were rumors that those two didn't get along.
00:29:23There was a power struggle between them.
00:29:26But what would that have to do with a pawnbroker?
00:29:28Maybe Mark was just a pawn in the game.
00:29:33Why do I even try?
00:29:34What kind of relationship did Mark have with his sister?
00:29:37Complicated.
00:29:38Jane tried to help Mark get the charges dropped, but he refused.
00:29:43Said he didn't trust her.
00:29:45Who else knew about the watch?
00:29:47As far as I know, just Jane and me.
00:29:50Mark didn't even let the kids know he had it.
00:29:55Was Mark left-handed?
00:29:57Mm-hmm.
00:29:58How did you know?
00:29:59Well, he's holding the cake cutting knife with his left hand.
00:30:02And the watch is there on his right.
00:30:04It's harder to sell a watch built for a southpaw.
00:30:07Maybe he was talking to Rance Mosby about buying the watch.
00:30:09No, he wouldn't try and fence a watch that expensive through a local pawnbroker.
00:30:14Maybe Rance knows a guy who knows a guy.
00:30:19I think a reasonable place to start is with Mr. Mosby tomorrow.
00:30:30Mark was left-handed.
00:30:32He wore his watch on his right arm.
00:30:34But in the crime scene photos, the watch was on his left.
00:30:38Well, maybe he didn't care what arm his watch was on.
00:30:42Oh, or here.
00:30:54This is where Mark liked to hang out?
00:30:56Yeah, maybe we'll get a great deal on a Betamax VCR.
00:31:07Yes?
00:31:08Uh, hi.
00:31:10Are you open?
00:31:24Oh, here we go.
00:31:26Oh, you fire department donkeys.
00:31:28Just can't get enough of your inspections, can you?
00:31:32Always have to pop by and make sure everything is up to code.
00:31:36What are you here for this time, Chief?
00:31:39You want to make sure I've got batteries in my smoke alarm?
00:31:44Well, actually, we're not here on fire department business.
00:31:48You're not?
00:31:49Mm-mm.
00:31:50Oh, come on in then.
00:31:52Well, weirdo.
00:31:54You know, you should really rethink your outfit there, Smokey.
00:31:57It's intentionally misleading.
00:32:00Now, can I interest anyone in some kombucha?
00:32:04I made it myself.
00:32:07Oh, that's very tempting, but I try not to drink kombucha after 2006.
00:32:11That's sad.
00:32:13Yeah.
00:32:14What are you in the market for, then?
00:32:16Um, Betamax?
00:32:19Ah, physical media.
00:32:20Very smart.
00:32:21Smart.
00:32:21You will need that when they shoot the satellites out of the sky.
00:32:28So is this your pawn shop?
00:32:30Excuse me?
00:32:32I'm sorry.
00:32:33Um, do I look like someone who run a predatory business that preys upon poor people in the service of
00:32:40capitalist greed?
00:32:42I'm fighting war against planned obsolescence.
00:32:45This isn't a pawn shop.
00:32:47This is the junkyard of dreams.
00:32:51I'm not one thing.
00:32:53I'm everything.
00:32:54I'm a numismatist.
00:32:57Coin collector.
00:32:59A philatelist.
00:33:00A philatelist.
00:33:01Stamps.
00:33:02A pantenologist.
00:33:04Dolls.
00:33:05A philographist.
00:33:07Autographs.
00:33:08Actifile.
00:33:09Teddy bears.
00:33:10Phonophile.
00:33:10Vinyl records.
00:33:12Digitabulist.
00:33:13Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, dimbles.
00:33:16Clankomuzophiliast.
00:33:17Uh, bottle caps.
00:33:19Elixophile.
00:33:20Corkscrews.
00:33:21Copocliflist.
00:33:22Key rings.
00:33:25Signopaginophile.
00:33:29Oh, uh, uh, um.
00:33:34Bookmarks.
00:33:35Mm-hmm.
00:33:37And you forgot horologist.
00:33:40That too, eh, Mac?
00:33:44Do you know me?
00:33:45I know of you, Ainsley McGregor.
00:33:49Sister to the sheriff.
00:33:50Solved a couple local murders.
00:33:54Criminologist.
00:33:55Formerly with the Chicago PD.
00:33:58You are getting a little too big to hide.
00:34:04Obviously, you are not customers.
00:34:07What are you doing here?
00:34:11We're investigating the death of Mark Graval.
00:34:13We understand that you knew him, and wondering if you would help us.
00:34:20Follow me.
00:34:23Mark Grigori Raval was found dead in the fall of 2015.
00:34:29He fell off the falls ravine into the sweet river, and was found the next morning.
00:34:36His death was ruled an accident by then Sheriff Barnes.
00:34:41Mark is survived by his loving wife, Maria Martinez, and their five children.
00:34:50Samantha, Tasha, Connor, Levi, and Max.
00:34:57And that's about all I can tell you.
00:35:06I don't think he's coming back.
00:35:08I'm sure he's great at parties.
00:35:11Well, one thing's for sure.
00:35:14He's got something to do with the murder.
00:35:26Mark Graval's arrest report.
00:35:28A lot of stuff redacted in here.
00:35:31Yeah, they do that sometimes.
00:35:32It's called hold back.
00:35:34Things they don't want to make public to test for false confessions.
00:35:38What do you know about Dalton Barnes?
00:35:41A lot.
00:35:42He was my mentor in this job.
00:35:44Think I could talk to him?
00:35:46I have some questions I'd like to ask.
00:35:48He's a retired old man.
00:35:50The last thing he needs is to be bothered by old cases.
00:35:53Unless the subject's golf-related, he's not interested.
00:35:57I can do golf.
00:35:59Do golf?
00:36:00I check in on him every couple of weeks.
00:36:02I'm actually supposed to see him tomorrow.
00:36:04Tomorrow?
00:36:05Yeah, I bring him some groceries and let him talk my ear off with stories about golf.
00:36:10You know what's more boring than playing golf?
00:36:13Listening to stories about people playing golf.
00:36:16Well, let me come with you.
00:36:18He can talk my ear off with golf stories and give you a break.
00:36:21You're gonna regret that.
00:36:22I won't.
00:36:24Okay, but you have to be polite.
00:36:26None of this Ainsley-Columbo-just-one-more-thing stuff.
00:36:29Alright?
00:36:31I promise.
00:36:32Fine, you can drive. Pick me up at the station tomorrow.
00:36:39Why are you being so nice?
00:36:42This is nice?
00:36:43For you, yes.
00:36:45I'm just glad you're distracting yourself with this and not distracting me from my current dangerous police work.
00:36:51Oh, you have more photocopying to do?
00:36:53If I leave the lid open, I could blind myself.
00:36:55As long as you're focusing on cold cases, I don't have to worry about you getting into real trouble.
00:37:01I can't live my life in fear.
00:37:03Yes, you can.
00:37:05You always worry the worst is gonna happen.
00:37:07Yeah. It's my superpower.
00:37:09Have you ever been right?
00:37:11No. And I plan to keep that perfect losing streak going.
00:37:16Something else is going on with you. Sisters know.
00:37:22Are you seeing someone?
00:37:25I'm seeing way too much of you.
00:37:28Oh, Jake mentioned something to Sierra about the four of us hanging out and I don't know, she got kinda
00:37:33weird.
00:37:34Hold on. Are you suggesting that I would be interested in somebody who spends her days poking dead people?
00:37:40Hmm. You're right.
00:37:43They're probably more rigid than you are.
00:37:50Oh.
00:37:58You need some help?
00:38:00Hello?
00:38:01Hello?
00:38:04I am so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
00:38:06Oh, no. Uh, that's okay.
00:38:09You need some help?
00:38:10Uh, no. No. I've got it. Thanks, Chief.
00:38:13Well, you know our motto. You don't have to be on fire for us to help you.
00:38:17Is that a real motto?
00:38:18It should be. Whoa. See ya.
00:38:31Oh, yeah. Nazzy. Gainsley?
00:38:37Oh, she has to put a couple of those up to keep an eye on her more expensive inventory.
00:38:41And an ear. Yeah, these cameras have mics on them.
00:38:45I'm thinking of putting a couple up around my spot because, uh, someone vandalized one of my birdhouses last week.
00:38:52Was it George? Did he steal one of the stuffed birds off the perch again?
00:38:57Gainsley, you know I don't jump to conclusions. We'll know once those cameras are up.
00:39:02Don. Chief.
00:39:04How you doing?
00:39:06Okay. Hi.
00:39:07Hi.
00:39:08I was just about to head over to Maria's to take care of her flowers and take a look at
00:39:12the watch. Do you want to come?
00:39:13I can't. I gotta get back to the station. I just wanted to drop this off and see your beautiful
00:39:19face.
00:39:20Aw, thank you.
00:39:22What is this?
00:39:23It's coffee. It's a hot drink made from beans. Sounds gross, but people seem to really like it.
00:39:31All the way from the truck and not a drop spilt. Uh, give me one sec. I'll be right back.
00:39:35Okay.
00:39:45So, how was the coffee?
00:39:48Oh, I, uh, I think they're onto something with this bean juice stuff.
00:39:55Oh, the mayor texted.
00:39:57Oh, what's the mayor have to say?
00:39:59Oh, just that it was nice running into me and that it was very nice to meet you too.
00:40:03Hmm. Yeah.
00:40:05Oh, it's Jane again asking if I'm going to be at the station tomorrow. She wants to come by and
00:40:10see me.
00:40:12Did she say why?
00:40:13No, but, uh, I guess I'll tell her to come by and find out.
00:40:31No, no, no, no.
00:40:32He's told the mayor to go outside.
00:40:32He says why they have no?
00:40:32No, no, no, no.
00:40:40So, it's just a bad guy.
00:40:42He's there.
00:40:42I don't know what he's living with.
00:40:43He's not a bad guy who's living with the man.
00:40:44But yeah, he's there.
00:41:03I don't know.
00:41:39I don't know.
00:41:53I don't know.
00:42:16I don't know.
00:42:55I don't know.
00:43:25I don't know.
00:44:15I don't know.
00:44:15I don't know.
00:44:16Somebody help me!
00:44:20Help!
00:44:24Somebody help me!
00:44:27Ainsley!
00:44:28Sierra!
00:44:29Grab my hand!
00:44:31Take my hand!
00:44:38I got you!
00:44:45What happened?
00:44:47Somebody pushed me!
00:44:49Did you see anyone?
00:44:51No one.
00:44:53Come on, let's get out of here.
00:44:55Just so I'm clear.
00:44:57Just so I'm clear, public park, broad daylight, someone runs up behind you, pushes you, runs away, and you see
00:45:04nothing.
00:45:06Nothing?
00:45:08How much did that criminology degree cost?
00:45:11No, I was looking down into the ravine.
00:45:15What about you?
00:45:16What about you?
00:45:16Did you see anybody?
00:45:17I don't know.
00:45:18No one.
00:45:19Who had even known that you were there?
00:45:21Well, I just called Sierra to meet me, that's it.
00:45:23I swear, I was joking about wanting to do more autopsies.
00:45:26No, it has to be someone who knows we're looking into the Roval case and doesn't like it.
00:45:30Rants?
00:45:31Possibly.
00:45:33No, but this person was quick.
00:45:35Nimble, athletic.
00:45:36Right, and it was in a park.
00:45:38Rants doesn't exactly strike me as the outdoorsy type.
00:45:41Or it could be something separate altogether.
00:45:45Chicago?
00:45:47No.
00:45:48This was panicked.
00:45:50Impulsive.
00:45:52If those people want you dead, you won't feel a thing.
00:45:56You'll just be dead.
00:45:59Oh, well, that's a relief.
00:46:01Regardless, I don't think you should be alone tonight.
00:46:05I'll stay.
00:46:10Cool.
00:46:15Yep, George and I will just stay on the couch again.
00:46:20Fine.
00:46:22Want me to give you a drive home?
00:46:23Yeah, that'd be great.
00:46:31What's this?
00:46:35I drive right by her place on my way home.
00:46:38That's convenient.
00:46:40Oh, no.
00:46:41Just keep your phone on and lock your doors, please.
00:46:44Bye.
00:46:49Hmm.
00:47:09Freeze!
00:47:11Sorry.
00:47:14I didn't want to wake you.
00:47:17You know, it's fine.
00:47:19I wasn't sleeping anyways.
00:47:20I was just, uh, guarding with my eyes closed.
00:47:25There's just something that's been bothering me about this.
00:47:29You know, when I was standing there, looking down at the spot where Mark fell,
00:47:34just something didn't seem right.
00:47:36You know, there were no jagged rocks or anything.
00:47:40That's why Mark's body didn't have any lacerations.
00:47:44Yeah?
00:47:46Yeah, there's no scratches or scrapes anywhere.
00:47:50Just this broken crystal.
00:47:53It's almost like someone smashed it with a hammer.
00:47:57Wait.
00:47:59The time says 6.12 in the morning.
00:48:03Yeah.
00:48:04But the time of death on the autopsy report said around 2 a.m.
00:48:08So maybe the watch kept working for a couple hours after Mark fell?
00:48:12I mean, possibly.
00:48:15But the crystal here, it's blocking the hands.
00:48:20We need somebody to tell us what we're looking at.
00:48:23Rance is a horologist.
00:48:26Rance?
00:48:28Isn't he one of our suspects?
00:48:31All the more reason to talk to him tomorrow.
00:48:33Oh, fine.
00:48:34But hey, I am not drinking any of that bathtub kombucha.
00:48:39Ew.
00:48:41So, what can I do for City Hall?
00:48:44Oh, I just wanted to come by and make sure you're good with the fire department's appropriations
00:48:48and the new municipal budget.
00:48:49Yeah, I signed off on those.
00:48:51Didn't your office get them?
00:48:52We did.
00:48:53I just wanted to double check.
00:48:55Okay, well, I am double confirming.
00:48:58Is that why you came down here today?
00:49:00Because you could have just replied to the email.
00:49:02Oh, I'm more of an in-person kind of person.
00:49:06Though, there is something else I wanted to ask you about.
00:49:12Ainsley's looking into my brother's death?
00:49:15Uh, yeah, who told you that?
00:49:17She had the police reports the other night at the restaurant.
00:49:20Right.
00:49:21Uh, yeah, she's trying to get Maria some closure.
00:49:25I could use some closure, too.
00:49:29Of course.
00:49:30Look, I think it's wonderful that she's taking the initiative.
00:49:33You'll let me know if she gets any answers or if there's any way I can be of any assistance.
00:49:40Will do.
00:49:44Nice shot, Sheriff.
00:50:03Woo!
00:50:04Oh, this one's a natural, she is.
00:50:10How about another ding-dong?
00:50:12You are reading my mind.
00:50:17So how long were you sheriff of Sweet River?
00:50:20Oh, too long.
00:50:24Thankfully, this young buck came along to put me out of my misery.
00:50:29And what is it that you do?
00:50:32I'm a criminologist.
00:50:34I work for the police department as well.
00:50:36Do you now?
00:50:37In fact, I was hoping to ask you a couple of questions about an old case.
00:50:42The death of Mark Graval.
00:50:46I'm an old man.
00:50:48I don't remember what I had for breakfast, let alone old cases.
00:50:52Oh, come on.
00:50:53There must be something you remember that could help us.
00:50:56In fact, you were the one who redacted the original police report.
00:51:05You don't want to get into that.
00:51:08This is Texas, ma'am.
00:51:10Around here, we believe it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.
00:51:19I can't believe you did that.
00:51:21If you mean eat four ding-dongs, neither can I.
00:51:24I'm definitely hitting the gym tomorrow.
00:51:25You were supposed to be polite.
00:51:27I was polite.
00:51:27I was politely inquisitive.
00:51:43You know, Ains, sweet rivers are home, but we'll always be outsiders in some folks' eyes.
00:51:52If you start pointing fingers at people like the mayor and Barnes, you've got to be really careful.
00:51:58But if they're involved...
00:51:59You know who's responsible for appointing me a sheriff?
00:52:03The mayor.
00:52:05You know who's responsible for appointing the fire chief?
00:52:09The mayor.
00:52:12You've got to be careful.
00:52:35You sure about this?
00:52:37I'm not sure about anything anymore.
00:52:43You two.
00:52:45Didn't you get my subtle hint that I didn't really want to talk about Mark Ravel?
00:52:49We're not here to talk about the case.
00:52:51We're here to get your expert opinion on something.
00:52:55Which expert do you need?
00:52:57The horologist.
00:52:59I want you to take a look at this watch.
00:53:14Where did you get that?
00:53:16It belongs to my friend Maria.
00:53:18It's very valuable.
00:53:23Well, that's unfortunate.
00:53:25This was a nice watch.
00:53:28Not as nice as the real one.
00:53:31What?
00:53:32This one's a fake.
00:53:42It's a really good fake.
00:53:44But a replica nonetheless.
00:53:47Every now and then you see a convincing copy of a designer watch on the market.
00:53:53It's called a super fake.
00:53:56How can you be sure?
00:53:58The last Valentin Revelle timepiece was made in 1938.
00:54:06You think they had a button cell battery in 1938?
00:54:14Here's the thing about expensive watches.
00:54:19They might be pretty, but that's not what makes them valuable.
00:54:24I mean, this is very elegant.
00:54:26It's got a nice crocodile skin strap.
00:54:29Isn't that a good thing?
00:54:30Not for the crocodile.
00:54:33But you don't pay for that.
00:54:35You pay for the guts, the mechanics.
00:54:39You know what's special about an original Valentin Revelle?
00:54:44You know what makes it tick?
00:54:46A flying ruby set tourbillon.
00:54:49Exactly.
00:54:51Not a $2 battery from Best Buy.
00:54:53If this were an actual Valentin Revelle, I wouldn't advise transporting unless you were accompanied by an armed guard.
00:55:02It's worth about $3 million.
00:55:08That's why the watch was left on the body.
00:55:11Because it's a fake.
00:55:13Mm-hmm.
00:55:14So whoever stole the watch, somehow figured out it was fake, smashed it, put it back on the body.
00:55:19That accounts for the four-hour difference in the time of death versus the time on the broken watch.
00:55:24But why do that?
00:55:26Because if the valuables are left on the corpse, there's no suspicion of foul play.
00:55:30Right.
00:55:30It just gets ruled an accidental death.
00:55:32Now, somebody could have taken the real watch and replaced it with a fake one just to throw off the
00:55:39scent?
00:55:39It would have to be a dead ringer of a fake to even hope you could fool anyone that it
00:55:44was real.
00:55:44Where would you even get something like that made?
00:55:46You're right.
00:55:48The other major question is, who has the real watch?
00:55:52I'll get a search done of all the international registries and auction houses, and if the sale was made legitimately,
00:55:58we might be able to trace it back to the seller.
00:56:00You're not going to be alone tonight, right?
00:56:02No, she's not.
00:56:07Getting to really like that couch.
00:56:19See you at my place?
00:56:21I will be right behind you.
00:56:29See you in a bit.
00:56:34Drive.
00:56:37If you want to live, Ainsley, drive now.
00:56:59Put it over.
00:57:00Right here.
00:57:02Ryan, turn off the engine.
00:57:11What's that?
00:57:14You'll see.
00:57:16You'll see.
00:57:33This was the GPS tracker you were supposed to find.
00:57:48And this was the one you weren't supposed to find.
00:57:53Let me see a phone.
00:57:58Unlock it, please.
00:58:04Here.
00:58:05Here.
00:58:05Ah, yes.
00:58:06Ah, look at that.
00:58:08Your phone has been cloned.
00:58:11How do you know that?
00:58:13How do you know that?
00:58:13I'm also a technophile.
00:58:16And it makes sense if someone is tracking you.
00:58:20These days, they use the two things that move with you.
00:58:24And there we are.
00:58:27Your phone is clean.
00:58:29You're welcome.
00:58:36Jake.
00:58:37Ainsley?
00:58:37I'm okay.
00:58:38I'm okay.
00:58:38I'm okay.
00:58:39I'm okay.
00:58:39It's okay.
00:58:39Oh, I can't believe I almost lost you.
00:58:42I just turned around and you were gone.
00:58:44And then I've been driving around for the past 20 minutes trying to find you.
00:58:45I know.
00:58:46I'm not in danger.
00:58:47Everything's fine.
00:58:49Rance?
00:58:51No, he's fine.
00:58:52He's fine.
00:58:52He's our friend.
00:58:54Right?
00:58:55Well, I'm nobody's friend.
00:58:58I'm just a ghost in the night.
00:59:02Face in the crowd.
00:59:04Fly on the wall.
00:59:05But if you're asking me whether or not I'm on your side, well, I'm on the side of righteousness.
00:59:13And in my view, eh, Mac?
00:59:16That's you.
00:59:18Okay.
00:59:20Tell us everything.
00:59:22He was there that night.
00:59:29The night Mark died.
00:59:31Did you see it happen?
00:59:33No.
00:59:34In the weeks leading up to his death, Mark had been receiving anonymous threatening phone
00:59:40calls.
00:59:42Someone knew he had that watch and they were after it.
00:59:45Mark had a dilemma on his hands.
00:59:48There was no way that he was going to give up his family's namesake.
00:59:51But he knew keeping it would make him a target.
00:59:55So, he came to me.
00:59:57And we figured out the solution.
01:00:00Something.
01:00:01You see, I have a counterfeiting friend in Houston, so I knew I could get a super fake.
01:00:08Of course, we couldn't just FedEx the real watch to this guy, so we had to measure it and picture
01:00:13it right down to the last detail so that he could machine it.
01:00:17And we didn't have a lot of time.
01:00:19And we didn't have a lot of time.
01:00:19And we had to keep her secret.
01:00:22As careful as we were, though, someone followed Mark.
01:00:25You're welcome.
01:00:27You go.
01:00:28Go.
01:00:33Go.
01:00:34County Sheriff's Department.
01:00:35Hands off.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:42Lucky Frost, though, they didn't figure out what we were doing.
01:00:45But Mark was arrested.
01:00:47For running a gambling ring, according to what we read on the arrest report.
01:00:53So, Sheriff Barnes was in on it.
01:00:56After he was released, Mark became even more determined.
01:01:01We had to finish that replica fast.
01:01:04The day it was done, I did a 10-hour round trip to pick it up.
01:01:08I got back late.
01:01:09I called him, and he told me to meet him in the park.
01:01:12Mark.
01:01:21You had it?
01:01:30You think Mark was paranoid that he was being followed?
01:01:46That was the last night I saw Mark alive.
01:01:50And whoever he ran into on his way home that night was the one who killed him.
01:01:57Did Mark ever tell you who it was that was after him?
01:02:00He didn't tell me, and I didn't ask.
01:02:03If the Sheriff was involved, I didn't want to know.
01:02:06And besides, you don't have to be a rocket scholar to see that his sister was too.
01:02:12Mark always used to say people assumed he was the black sheep.
01:02:17But really, it was her.
01:02:20Mark spent his whole life getting into trouble to keep her out of it.
01:02:27Why do you suppose his granddad gave him the watch and not her?
01:02:35We scoured every registry, auction house, community sales listing in the past 10 years. Nothing.
01:02:42If the watch is out there, it means it's deep underground.
01:02:45Probably sold illegally.
01:02:46You know, in the black market.
01:02:48You should be looking for someone who came into a lot of money, but still had to find a way
01:02:52to launder it.
01:02:53Any guesses?
01:02:56Jane had a very expensive mayoral campaign to pay for.
01:03:00The Sheriff was riding her coattails.
01:03:02You know, Maria said that Jane was the only other person who knew about the watch.
01:03:07Her brother got the extremely valuable family heirloom.
01:03:11She got nothing.
01:03:13So, as mayor, you should probably have the power to pull all the strings.
01:03:19Have Mark framed.
01:03:21Lean on Barnes to alter police reports.
01:03:24Get her brother out of the way so she can get the watch.
01:03:26But how does that translate to what's happening now?
01:03:29You getting pushed in the ravine.
01:03:31Your phone getting cloned.
01:03:32Your car getting bugged.
01:03:34Jane did all that too?
01:03:38Why not?
01:03:39She knows I'm investigating the case.
01:03:42And she has the most to lose if any new evidence comes to light.
01:03:47Well, Jake, you know Jane the best of any of us.
01:03:50Do you think that it's possible?
01:03:53Yeah, I believe it.
01:03:54There's always something about it in trust.
01:03:57It's the gut feeling.
01:03:59It's the real reason that I ended the relationship.
01:04:04I think we have our prime suspect.
01:04:07Jane Revell.
01:04:09Here's the problem though.
01:04:11If Jane is guilty,
01:04:13she spent the last ten years covering her tracks, not getting caught.
01:04:17We don't have enough solid evidence to charge her.
01:04:20So what does solid evidence look like?
01:04:22A confession.
01:04:23On the record.
01:04:25Which means someone has to wear a wire.
01:04:31I'll do it.
01:04:34She asked me to let her know if Ainsley found any new information on the case.
01:04:38So I will call her, set up a meeting and I'll try and get her to talk.
01:04:42If she's going to spill her guts to anyone, it's going to be me.
01:04:49Perfect.
01:04:50Whoa, whoa, no, no, not perfect.
01:04:54I've got to get a warrant for starters.
01:04:56Texas is a one-party consent state.
01:04:58I'm aware of that, Professor, but if we want the evidence to hold up in court, I've got to get
01:05:02a judicial order.
01:05:03So get it.
01:05:04It's not like ordering a pizza.
01:05:06There are hoops to jump through.
01:05:08Also, I don't know if you two have been paying attention, but we're in Sweet River, not Langley.
01:05:12We don't have the resources or the technology to deal with this kind of thing.
01:05:19I think I know someone who can help.
01:05:26Welly, well, well.
01:05:28I never thought I'd see a day like this.
01:05:31Me, a Robin Hood of the people, working alongside the Sheriff of Nottingham over there.
01:05:38Mr. Mosby, the Colby County Sheriff's Department appreciates your assistance in this matter.
01:05:43I bet you do, Billy Mac.
01:05:46Rance, you said you wanted to be on the side of the righteous.
01:05:49That's us.
01:05:50If you say so, eh, Mac?
01:05:53Now, would anyone like some kombucha?
01:05:56No. Thank you.
01:06:01This has a range of half a mile.
01:06:03However, it will have some issues if it has to transmit through brick or cement.
01:06:10We'll be close by.
01:06:12That's good.
01:06:13Billy Mac, does your department have a surveillance van?
01:06:16Well, we have a man.
01:06:18Do you?
01:06:19Yeah, but it's not exactly wired for surveillance.
01:06:21Well, I will look in the back of mine and see what gear I have.
01:06:29All right, I understand why you're A-Mac and Ainsen McGregor, but why am I Billy Mac?
01:06:36Billy Mac.
01:06:37From the song?
01:06:38He's a detective.
01:06:40In Texas?
01:06:40Steve Miller van?
01:06:44Rance isn't allowed in the van.
01:06:49This can't be officially sanctioned, deputy trainee.
01:06:52We don't have enough evidence to bring charges, so this operation does not officially exist.
01:06:57Understood?
01:06:58Understood, boss.
01:07:00Hey, we should come up with a code name.
01:07:03Like, Project Faceless.
01:07:09Because watches have faces, and so do we, but we're incognito.
01:07:14What did I just say?
01:07:16This doesn't officially exist?
01:07:17Right.
01:07:18So the mission does not need a name.
01:07:20What mission?
01:07:25Okay, we're going to be in a surveillance van outside of Dooley's at 1900 hours tonight.
01:07:30Our confidential informant is Chief Trenton.
01:07:32Now, if we're sloppy and we mess this up, we're all going to look spectacularly stupid,
01:07:37so let's make sure that doesn't happen.
01:07:41Kevin, there's one more thing I need you to do.
01:07:47I need you to write up an arrest warrant for Dalton Barnes.
01:07:54But Sheriff Barnes?
01:07:55Yeah.
01:07:57On what grounds?
01:07:58Instruction of justice, accessory to murder, falsifying police documents.
01:08:02Do you have enough evidence to charge him?
01:08:05No, but I've got probable cause enough to hold him for 24 hours.
01:08:10I'm on a bus.
01:08:14Of course, you have to get him off the street.
01:08:15And I've got to get to him before Jane does.
01:08:21I sure hope you're sure.
01:08:29Rye, I'm sure that Jane is guilty of something.
01:08:33I just, I don't know that she killed her brother.
01:08:36What?
01:08:38Why would she put the watch on his wrong wrist?
01:08:40I don't know.
01:08:42Maybe she panicked.
01:08:44Ainsley.
01:08:46Last chance here.
01:08:47Am I calling this off?
01:08:52No.
01:09:05Are you sure you want to do this?
01:09:07Yeah.
01:09:09Someone's after you and it's time to put a stop to that.
01:09:35I...
01:09:36Julie!
01:09:37Hey, how you doing chief?
01:09:39I'm all right.
01:09:40Ainsley joining you tonight?
01:09:41No, Ainsley's working.
01:09:42I'm meeting the mayor.
01:09:43Ooh.
01:09:44Well, your usual table's ready.
01:09:47Actually, you know what?
01:09:48I'm going to change you up tonight.
01:09:49I'm going to sit over here at the bar.
01:09:50Suit yourself.
01:09:51Mm-hmm.
01:09:52Got some bad news, though.
01:09:54Oh, no.
01:09:55It's been a busy day, Jake.
01:09:56We're all out of brisket.
01:09:57Oh, it's okay.
01:09:58Yeah, I'm not that hungry.
01:10:00Well, that's not the Jake I know.
01:10:03Is everything okay?
01:10:04Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
01:10:05It's just some work stuff.
01:10:07Mm-hmm.
01:10:07Well, you know, some days it feels like one wheel's off and the axle's dragging.
01:10:11Yeah.
01:10:13I'm going to get you two a couple drinks.
01:10:15My pleasure.
01:10:17I'm in.
01:10:19He's talking to himself?
01:10:20Why is he talking to himself?
01:10:22That's a dead giveaway.
01:10:23He's fine.
01:10:24Let him settle in.
01:10:25I talk to myself all the time.
01:10:28It's the only interesting conversation I ever have.
01:10:31Excuse me.
01:10:33Stay frosty, people.
01:10:36I got catty movement.
01:10:38Copy.
01:10:55Condor has landed.
01:10:57We're in business.
01:10:58I told Kevin not to wear that mustache.
01:11:01Really?
01:11:01I told him it looks great.
01:11:03He's like a Wild West Magnum PI.
01:11:12You look good, JT.
01:11:14You get all dressed up just for me?
01:11:16Oh, I suppose I did.
01:11:17I rolled time six.
01:11:20You didn't have any plans with Ainsling tonight?
01:11:22No, no.
01:11:23We don't see each other that much.
01:11:26Really?
01:11:27I thought the two of you were an item.
01:11:29No, no, no.
01:11:30It's not that serious.
01:11:32I guess he's settling in.
01:11:35Shall we order?
01:11:38I always get the brisket sandwich.
01:11:41Me too.
01:11:42But they're all sold out.
01:11:43What?
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:45Oh, that is the only reason I come here.
01:11:47Me too.
01:11:51We can go somewhere else if you like.
01:11:52What is he doing?
01:11:55Nah, we're already here.
01:11:56I'll get the fajitas.
01:11:58Okay.
01:11:59He's playing it cool.
01:12:01You should try it sometime.
01:12:09Cheers.
01:12:14Mmm.
01:12:16So, you said Ainsley had some new info about Mark's death?
01:12:20Yeah, I'm not sure if you heard or not, but Sheriff Barnes was arrested a couple hours ago.
01:12:26I did hear that.
01:12:28Yeah, I called the station to get an official statement, but they still mauled me.
01:12:31You know anything about it?
01:12:34I overheard Ainsley talking to Ryan.
01:12:37Apparently Barnes told them that your brother's death had something to do with a watch that he owned.
01:12:45My grandfather's watch?
01:12:47Yeah.
01:12:48Now Barnes said that you were after it.
01:12:51You forced him to do all sorts of things to coerce Mark into giving it to you.
01:12:55Like what?
01:12:57Altering the police reports?
01:12:59Uh, y-yes.
01:13:00Yeah, that, um...
01:13:02But also abusing your position of power for your own financial gain.
01:13:05Okay, that's rich.
01:13:07Coming from Barnes.
01:13:10Jane, you know what?
01:13:10I-I don't wanna get in the middle of this.
01:13:12Too late. Tell me what he said.
01:13:17Uh, well Barnes, he, um...
01:13:21He said that you-you...
01:13:23You killed Mark to get the watch.
01:13:26My own brother.
01:13:28I'm just-I'm just telling you what I heard.
01:13:29Look.
01:13:30I wanted that watch.
01:13:32I deserved that watch.
01:13:34Mark wouldn't give it to me, so I needed to find a way to get it from him.
01:13:38And is that why you had him arrested at the pawn shop that night?
01:13:41Absolutely right it is.
01:13:43That watch was my family heirloom too, and I needed it more than he did.
01:13:48Oh, come on Jake, deliver the knockout punch!
01:13:53Hey.
01:13:55Everyone knows what he was like.
01:13:58But there's part of me that wouldn't have even blamed you if you-
01:14:00If what?
01:14:01If I killed him?
01:14:04You know, I-I don't think that we should talk about this anymore.
01:14:08I am no killer.
01:14:11Sure.
01:14:11I said it burns that night to get that watch, but I'm not a murderer.
01:14:15What?
01:14:21That's actionable.
01:14:22Patrol deputies move in.
01:14:24I, uh, just gonna go use the ladies room.
01:14:28Of course.
01:14:29She's gonna rabbit.
01:14:31Rabbit?
01:14:32I...
01:14:39She's running.
01:14:40Suspect's on the move!
01:14:48Stop!
01:14:49Mayor!
01:14:53Mayor Raval!
01:15:01You're under arrest.
01:15:04You have the right to remain silent.
01:15:06Anything you say now can and will be used against you in the court of law.
01:15:09You have the right to speak to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions.
01:15:13Take her away.
01:15:25Mayor Raval, you're aware of the charges being laid against you?
01:15:30Lawyer.
01:15:33I know that you know your rights. You're not required to say anything at this time.
01:15:37But in the event that you'd like to add anything to your testimony voluntarily, I'll take those statements now.
01:15:44Lawyer.
01:15:47There's nothing else you want to say?
01:15:50Lawyer.
01:15:53Yeah.
01:15:54You got that.
01:15:57Alrighty.
01:16:00I didn't kill my brother, Ryan.
01:16:06Mark was meeting Barnes the night of his death.
01:16:09Barnes was getting greedy.
01:16:11He came to my house earlier that day and we had a screaming match about the whole plan.
01:16:15I told him.
01:16:16I changed my mind and that he shouldn't go and meet Mark, but he wouldn't listen to me.
01:16:21Is there anybody who can corroborate this?
01:16:26My children's nanny, Philippa, overheard the whole exchange.
01:16:30I remember because she wanted to call the cops without realizing how ironic that was.
01:16:38Do you believe her?
01:16:40Yeah.
01:16:40It doesn't matter. We have her on the other charges, even if this Philippa the nanny person surfaces.
01:16:47Wait. Do you know the nickname for Philippa?
01:16:50Phil?
01:16:52Pippa.
01:16:53Who?
01:16:54Pippa was Maria's babysitter. She was at the house the night of Mark's death.
01:16:59And she also said she worked for Maria's sister-in-law, Jane.
01:17:03So she would have knowledge of the going-ons in both households.
01:17:06She knew about the watch. And she knew about the plan to steal it.
01:17:12How would you two like to do another unofficial watch gate sting?
01:17:16No.
01:17:17Yes.
01:17:18Ugh.
01:17:20There's a fake watch?
01:17:22Yes.
01:17:25What?
01:17:26But there definitely was a real watch.
01:17:29Who has my husband's watch?
01:17:32I don't know.
01:17:33And I don't have time to try to figure it out.
01:17:37I need you to come with me and just go along with whatever happens, okay?
01:17:48Hi.
01:17:50Hi.
01:17:55I just can't believe that Jane has been hanging on to the real watch for all these years.
01:18:01Jane?
01:18:02Right.
01:18:03Jane, it's unbelievable.
01:18:05Well, I'm glad she finally came clean.
01:18:08And the most important part is the watch is back where it belongs.
01:18:11And you're safe.
01:18:13I'm so glad you got Mark's watch back.
01:18:16Tell the world why don't you.
01:18:18You just keep that thing safe, you hear?
01:18:21I will.
01:18:24Y'all ready for book club?
01:18:26Wouldn't miss it.
01:18:27I'll be there.
01:18:29With the bells on.
01:18:35Could you please tell me what's going on?
01:18:37Hold on.
01:18:37Hold on, wait.
01:18:38Me, two.
01:18:39Me, three.
01:18:41What was with that text you sent us?
01:18:43Do you know where the real watch is?
01:18:45No.
01:18:47But I think I know who the true killer is.
01:19:10Surprise.
01:19:12It's over, Pippa.
01:19:14Surprise.
01:19:16It's over, Pippa.
01:19:22You saw Mark take the watch out of the safe that night.
01:19:26Honey, what's going on?
01:19:28It's gonna be okay.
01:19:29I want...
01:19:29It's gonna be okay.
01:19:32You knew some kind of transaction was about to happen because...
01:19:35You overheard Jane and Barnes arguing earlier.
01:19:39So you followed Mark.
01:19:42It took me a while to find him.
01:19:45He'd had a significant head start.
01:19:47When I finally caught up to him, it was on the path by the river.
01:20:03Please!
01:20:04Please!
01:20:04Please!
01:20:09Why are you here?
01:20:14Give me the watch.
01:20:15Please.
01:20:17Don't do this.
01:20:19You don't understand what's happening here, okay?
01:20:21Give it to me.
01:20:22It's a fake!
01:20:25Look.
01:20:29It's a fake.
01:20:32Don't get mixed up in this, please.
01:20:35Just go home.
01:20:37Okay?
01:20:39Go home.
01:20:42Don't go, please!
01:20:50There's just less of time than gone home.
01:20:54What happened next?
01:20:59I had the watch.
01:21:00I knew where the rendezvous point was with Barnes.
01:21:03So I went there.
01:21:06Barnes had brought his fence.
01:21:09The guy who was going to sell it for him.
01:21:15Barnes was surprised to see me, but he didn't care.
01:21:22The guy took a long look at the watch and finally said that it was a fake.
01:21:30Before Barnes took off, he told me that he'd kill me if I ever told anyone about his involvement.
01:21:37So there I was.
01:21:39Alone.
01:21:41I panicked.
01:21:43I thought of the only thing I could do to not get caught.
01:21:46No, he's not.
01:22:02It's just a light fire.
01:22:04No, no, no, no.
01:22:10No.
01:22:10You're not.
01:22:10No, no.
01:22:11No, no, no.
01:22:12No, no, no.
01:22:13No, no.
01:22:17I did everything I could to make sure there was no evidence I was ever there.
01:22:20But you also knew that with Sheriff Barnes and the mayor's involvement, this would get swept under the rug.
01:22:28And it was.
01:22:31Until I came along.
01:22:37So it was you who cloned my phone.
01:22:41And there we go.
01:22:44And bugged my car.
01:22:48Need some help?
01:22:51I am so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
01:22:55What about the park?
01:22:59I heard you were going there with the watch.
01:23:01I didn't want you to find out it was a fake.
01:23:06I tried to scare you off the case.
01:23:09Scare me off? Oh, I think you tried to do a lot more than that.
01:23:12Why would you do this, Pippa?
01:23:14We treated you like family.
01:23:16Because she's a thief.
01:23:18What do you think all that designer stuff is that she's selling?
01:23:21It's all stolen.
01:23:34Thank you, Ainsley.
01:23:36This case never would have been solved without you.
01:23:39You never give up.
01:23:43It's a blessing and a curse.
01:23:47The one mystery we never solved was where the real watch is.
01:23:53I guess that'll stay buried with my love.
01:24:00Buried?
01:24:06Maria, what's this?
01:24:07It was in the safe.
01:24:09Oh.
01:24:10That's a poem Mark read to me the day he proposed.
01:24:14I shall bury my weary love beneath a tree
01:24:17in the forest tall and black where no one can see.
01:24:22And you said that Mark proposed to you at the willow tree?
01:24:26Mm-hmm.
01:24:27By the lagoon at the forest's edge.
01:24:48Did she hit something?
01:24:49Yeah.
01:24:50There you go.
01:24:52Okay.
01:25:17That poem was a message.
01:25:20Mark wanted you to find it.
01:25:23Nobody else but his one true love should have it.
01:25:27Please.
01:25:45Aren't you going to tell me I'm no longer allowed to work on any lukewarm cases?
01:25:49I'm not going to tell you anything.
01:25:51What's the point?
01:25:51Well, you don't listen anyway.
01:25:54Good job, though.
01:25:56You're welcome to work on any temperature case that you like.
01:26:00Seriously, why are you being so nice to me?
01:26:03It's unnerving.
01:26:04This is nice?
01:26:05For you, yes.
01:26:09Something's going on.
01:26:10Do you really think me?
01:26:11Oh, sisters, no.
01:26:13What are you guys doing tonight?
01:26:15Going to Dooley's for dinner.
01:26:16You guys want to make it a double date?
01:26:19I've got plans.
01:26:20Yeah, and I've got to catch up on some work.
01:26:22I'll give you a lift.
01:26:23Yeah.
01:26:25Convenient.
01:26:25Convenient.
01:26:27What?
01:26:28He drives right past my place on the way home.
01:26:32Will you two grow up, please?
01:26:33Have fun.
01:26:38You know, when you were wearing that wire, some of the things you said were pretty convincing.
01:26:44Well, I was acting.
01:26:46Really?
01:26:47You in that part where you said...
01:26:49I was acting.
01:26:52You think if you and I went to high school together...
01:26:55Yeah, we'd be sweethearts.
01:26:56Oh, yeah?
01:26:57Mr. Quarterback?
01:26:59What, you're telling me you weren't the prom queen?
01:27:01I was valedictorian.
01:27:03Why does that not surprise me?
01:27:06You know, instead of speculating about the past, I'm more interested in focusing on the future.
01:27:14That is what I love about you.
01:27:16Really?
01:27:24Tell me more about Wiggle Up Boat.
01:27:26Is there anything else at a short list or a long list?
01:27:28I love your...
01:27:55Is there anything else at a short list or a long list or a long list or a long list
01:27:57or a long list or a long list or a long list or a long list or a long list
01:28:01or a long list or a long list or a long list or a long list or a long list
01:28:03or a long list or a long list or a long list or a long list or a long list.
