00:00:53You have it?
00:01:15It's good.
00:01:32It's good.
00:02:10Please!
00:02:11Stop!
00:02:12Please!
00:02:13Don't do this.
00:02:15You don't understand what's happening here, okay?
00:02:18No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:19Please!
00:02:48Please!
00:02:51Don't do this!
00:02:53Don't do this!
00:02:56No!
00:02:57No!
00:02:58No!
00:03:04No!
00:03:06No!
00:03:07No!
00:03:09No!
00:03:10No!
00:03:13No!
00:03:16There 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, huh?
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.
00:03:41No major crimes is definitely a good thing.
00:03:43But 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, Bigfoot 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.
00:04:09You know, it'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 catalogs unsolved murders, disappearances, and suspicious deaths.
00:04:25Oh.
00:04:25Check this out.
00:04:27Cold case about a Sweet River man who mysteriously died while out on a hike ten years ago right here
00:04:31in 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.
00:04:48Yes.
00:04:50That man who died was Maria's husband.
00:04:55Oh, no.
00:05:05I am so sorry.
00:05:08We didn't know.
00:05:10My husband didn't just die mysteriously easily.
00:05:15He was murdered.
00:05:22Maria, if I had known...
00:05:25No, it 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, and 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, like tonight.
00:05:47If you ever need anyone to talk to, you know, I'm always here for you.
00:05:53I, uh, 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 it could have affected one of
00:06:11us.
00:06:16Mark Ravel.
00:06:20Was he related to the mayor?
00:06:22Jane is his sister, and 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.
00:06:36Well, depends 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.
00:07:14That'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 going to 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 cliche?
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, and any time I asked him what was going
00:08:16on, 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.
00:08:42Talk to me.
00:08:43It's going to be okay.
00:08:44It's going to 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.
00:09:14I only ever saw him wear it once, the day we got married.
00:09:18And aside from that one day, it 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 tourbalent.
00:09:33Tourbillon.
00:09:34Tourbillon.
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...
00:09:52Mark always politely turned them away.
00:09:55That watch was a symbol of Mark's family survival.
00:09:59To him, it was priceless.
00:10:06Maybe he had gotten into some trouble and had to sell it, but deep down I didn't think that could
00:10:13be the reason, but my mind, it was desperate for some crumb of 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...
00:10:34There it was.
00:10:37So it must have been something else.
00:10:39It 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.
00:11:12The real reason we're in this club is to remind ourselves that we're not alone, and 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, it 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.
00:11:39Count 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.
00:12:16Really helpful.
00:12:16Yeah, of course.
00:12:17No 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.
00:12:28Can 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.
00:12:40There's a vintage pop-up in town.
00:12:41I'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.
00:12:51This is the easiest cold case in the world to solve.
00:12:53It's not even a cold case.
00:12:55It'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.
00:13:03He probably owed some debts, tried to use the watch to pay them off, and got killed in the process.
00:13:08Wait, so you agree he was murdered?
00:13:10I didn't agree to anything.
00:13:12Don't put words in my mouth.
00:13:13I didn't say murdered.
00:13:14You said killed.
00:13:14I have witnesses.
00:13:16I 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?
00:13:22It's like 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.
00:13:42If you owe the money, you have to pay the money.
00:13:44Still, it had value.
00:13:46Why 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.
00:13:57How would you like me to refer to it?
00:14:00Hinky.
00:14:01Mm-hmm.
00:14:02Mm-hmm.
00:14:05It is pretty hinky.
00:14:11Well, Ains and I are meeting at Dooley's in a little bit if you want to join.
00:14:14We could invite Ryan, make it a double date.
00:14:15Yeah.
00:14:17Double date.
00:14:18Oh, that's just a saying.
00:14:20Just a figure of speech.
00:14:20Me and Ryan?
00:14:21You 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.
00:14:30I had to get somebody to show me how to use the photocopier.
00:14:32That thing is intense.
00:14:33Well, thank you, Deputy Trainee.
00:14:36You're welcome.
00:14:38Chief?
00:14:39Me.
00:14:39I'd love to join, but it's trivia night down at Yonder's.
00:14:43Let me know if you need anything else, okay?
00:14:45Okay.
00:14:45Bye.
00:14:46Bye, Sierra.
00:14:46Bye.
00:14:48Do you know who Dee Barnes is?
00:14:50Dalton Barnes, yeah.
00:14:51He'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?
00:15:04Well, I didn't come to Sweet River to meddle in everyone else's lives.
00:15:08I came here to sort through my own.
00:15:12You know something my grandmother used to say?
00:15:15The right thing and the most difficult thing are usually the same thing.
00:15:22You didn't answer my question.
00:15:23Oh, yes, I did.
00:15:25I gotta go check in at the station, but I will see 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.
00:15:55Well, that's as welcome as a wet shoe.
00:15:57He's gonna be on his knees, begging to get her back.
00:16:00No, he's not standing me up.
00:16:02He 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.
00:16:14No work on dates.
00:16:15I will put my computer away in two seconds.
00:16:17One, two, three.
00:16:20Three and a half, three and three quarters.
00:16:23Okay.
00:16:23Four.
00:16:25Work over.
00:16:26Date on.
00:16:28When do you ever stop working?
00:16:30It's true.
00:16:31Sorry.
00:16:31You don't apologize.
00:16:32That's what I love about you.
00:16:37Can I just tell you one thing about the case?
00:16:39Sure.
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,
00:16:52his 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?
00:17:02Well, according to what I could find on the net,
00:17:05Mark's might be the only one.
00:17:07It's like finding a Picasso in your basement.
00:17:10It'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
00:17:22in the middle of the night that upset him.
00:17:24But he wouldn't tell her what they were about.
00:17:27So maybe the watch became too much of a liability,
00:17:30so he decided to sell it to the person who 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,
00:17:45does 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.
00:17:55Jake 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.
00:18:07It is so good to see you.
00:18:09Yeah.
00:18:09Um.
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.
00:18:23City 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
00:18:33and 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 two.
00:18:45So, another 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 meeting.
00:18:55Ainsley, the pleasure is mine.
00:19:00JT, don'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.
00:19:09She's got my vote.
00:19:18Oh, hi, George.
00:19:20Hey, George.
00:19:21You know, Dooley's does a mean brisket sandwich,
00:19:23but 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
00:19:32when I bring home a chopped salad.
00:19:34Well, in the rock, paper, scissors of food,
00:19:36brisket 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
00:19:48to 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, yeah.
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,
00:20:07but 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,
00:20:13you know, getting gambling debts,
00:20:14it checks out.
00:20:16Well, Maria never mentioned anything
00:20:17about Mark being a gambler.
00:20:19Maybe he hid it from her.
00:20:23Back to Jane.
00:20:24You know what?
00:20:24I'm just looking at the time.
00:20:25I've got to get going.
00:20:26Oh, come on.
00:20:28They're not going to tell me?
00:20:30I'm a big girl.
00:20:31I can take it.
00:20:34Oh, tell you what?
00:20:36What do you think?
00:20:38Jane T.
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 going to do this.
00:20:48Um, yes, we were.
00:20:52Okay, let me guess.
00:20:53You were quarterback and she was prom queen.
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?
00:21:05No, it's not that I didn't want to tell you.
00:21:06It's just, it'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, uh, it was a little more serious than that.
00:21:22High school sweethearts?
00:21:24We almost got engaged.
00:21:26Oh.
00:21:28Oh, wow.
00:21:29But, but 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, I'm kind of the one that got away.
00:21:43Anyway, um, that is ancient history.
00:21:46I, I, I don't know why I said that.
00:21:47Um, but you were absolutely right.
00:21:51I should have told you, and, and next time, I will.
00:21:57Yeah, or not.
00:21:58You know, maybe we don't have to tell each other everything.
00:22:04Okay, um, I actually do have to go this time.
00:22:13But I will, um, I will see you tomorrow.
00:22:16Okay.
00:22:22Bye.
00:22:29What do you think of a mare, Georgie?
00:22:34Oh, yeah, you'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, not 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, I think so.
00:23:03The river's really narrow at that point.
00:23:10So, so 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.
00:23:21Let me know if I can help you find anything you like.
00:23:23Uh, oh, yeah, I 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 on 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, but 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.
00:23:54Yeah, Maria's mentioned you.
00:23:56Oh, we don't take cash.
00:23:59Uh, you can pay by card, but off your phone is usually an easy guess.
00:24:03Right.
00:24:04Yeah, I, um, I'm still not used to paying for things off of my phone.
00:24:08No worries.
00:24:09Um, here, I can, I can get that for you.
00:24:11Okay.
00:24:12Uh, yeah.
00:24:13Yeah, here.
00:24:14Wow.
00:24:15Ready?
00:24:16So?
00:24:17And?
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.
00:24:28I 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.
00:24:54Oh, 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.
00:26:03Because if you're not...
00:26:04Easily.
00:26:05Stop it.
00:26:06I'm fine.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:09I'm sorry.
00:26:10I won't ask you again.
00:26:14Before everyone gets here, can I ask you a couple of questions about the watch?
00:26:19Sure, but, 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.
00:26:47But I'd rather not see the watch in the state it's in.
00:26:52Okay.
00:26:54I promise I'll be very careful.
00:26:57There's no damage you could do to that watch.
00:27:00It hasn't already been done.
00:27:10Okay.
00:27:11Let's start with what we know.
00:27:12Yes, yes.
00:27:13The known knowns.
00:27:14It's what they're called, the things we know that we know.
00:27:17As opposed to the unknown knowns, the things we don't know that we know.
00:27:21Then there's the unknown unknowns, the things we don't know we don't know.
00:27:25And, of course, finally, there's the known unknowns, the 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.
00:27:41Clandestine meetings, mysterious 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 whale archery.
00:28:03Nice work, deputy.
00:28:05Deputy attorney.
00:28:06Let's discuss Mark's background.
00:28:09Is there anything about his past that might be relevant here?
00:28:17We 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.
00:29:05You can't run a gambling ring by yourself.
00:29:09Mark was not gambling that night.
00:29:11It was a set-up.
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?
00:29:29Maybe 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, and the watch is there on his right.
00:30:04It's harder to sell a watch built for a southpaw.
00:30:06Maybe 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.
00:30:37Well, maybe he didn't care what arm his watch was on.
00:30:42Oh, we're 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.
00:31:00Yeah.
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.
00:31:50Well, come on in then.
00:31:53Well, weirdo.
00:31:53You 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.
00:32:12That'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.
00:32:21You 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
00:32:40service of capitalist 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.
00:32:50I'm not one thing.
00:32:53I'm everything.
00:32:55I'm a numismatist.
00:32:57Coin collector.
00:32:59A philatelist.
00:33:01Stamps.
00:33:02A pancanologist.
00:33:04Dolls.
00:33:05A philographist.
00:33:07Autographs.
00:33:08Actifile.
00:33:09Teddy bears.
00:33:10Phonophile.
00:33:10Vinyl records.
00:33:11Digitabulist.
00:33:13Uh, uh, uh, uh, dimples.
00:33:16Plankomusophiliast.
00:33:17Uh, bottle caps.
00:33:19Melixifile.
00:33:20Corkscrews.
00:33:21Copocleaflist.
00:33:22Key rings.
00:33:25Signal vaginophile.
00:33:29Oh, uh, uh, um.
00:33:34Bookmarks.
00:33:35Oh, mm-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.
00:33:51Sold a couple local murders.
00:33:54Criminologist.
00:33:55Formerly with the Chicago PD.
00:33:57You are getting a little too big to hide.
00:34:03Obviously, 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 Graval 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.
00:34:42Mark 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?
00:36:00Mm-hmm.
00:36:01I 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.
00:36:11You 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, give you a break.
00:36:21You're going to 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.
00:36:29All right?
00:36:31I promise.
00:36:32Fine, you can drive.
00:36:33Pick 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.
00:36:54Well, as 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.
00:37:04Yes, you can.
00:37:05You always worry the worst is going to 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.
00:37:18Sisters, no.
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 kind
00:37:33of weird.
00:37:34Hold on.
00:37:34Are you suggesting that I would be interested in somebody who spends her days poking dead people?
00:37:41You're right.
00:37:43They're probably more rigid than you are.
00:37:51Oops.
00:37:58You need some help?
00:38:01Hello?
00:38:04I am so sorry.
00:38:05I didn't mean to scare you.
00:38:06Oh, no.
00:38:07That's okay.
00:38:09You need some help?
00:38:10No, no.
00:38:11I've got it.
00:38:12Thanks, Chief.
00:38:13Well, you know our motto.
00:38:14You don't have to be on fire for us to help you.
00:38:16Is that a real motto?
00:38:18It should be.
00:38:19Whoa.
00:38:20See ya.
00:38:29Oh, yeah.
00:38:33Nazzy.
00:38:35Ainsley?
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.
00:38:43Yeah, these cameras have mics on them.
00:38:45I'm thinking of putting a couple up around my spot, because someone vandalized one of my birdhouses last week.
00:38:52Was it George?
00:38:54Did he steal one of the stuffed birds off the perch again?
00:38:57Ainsley, you know I don't jump to conclusions.
00:38:59We'll know once those cameras are on.
00:39:02Dawn.
00:39:03Chief.
00:39:04How you doing?
00:39:06Okay.
00:39:06Hi.
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.
00:39:13Do you want to come?
00:39:14I can't.
00:39:14I've got to get back to the station.
00:39:16I just wanted to drop this off and see your beautiful face.
00:39:20Aw, thank you.
00:39:22What is this?
00:39:23It's coffee.
00:39:24It's a hot drink made from beans.
00:39:26Sounds gross, but people seem to really like it.
00:39:31Oh, all the way from the truck and not a drop spilled.
00:39:33Uh, give me one sec.
00:39:35I'll be right back.
00:39:35Okay.
00:39:45So, how was the coffee?
00:39:48Oh, 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.
00:40:04Yeah.
00:40:05Oh, it's Jane again asking if I'm going to be at the station tomorrow.
00:40:09She wants to come by and see me.
00:40:12Did she say why?
00:40:13No, but, uh, I guess I'll tell her to come by and find out.
00:40:16No, but, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
00:40:30uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
00:40:30uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
00:40:30uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
00:40:30uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
00:40:30uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
00:40:47Oh, my God.
00:41:17Oh, my God.
00:42:00Oh, my God.
00:42:12Oh, my God.
00:42:33Ainsley, hi.
00:42:34Hey, Sarah, I'm just leaving Maria's house.
00:42:36I'm going to go to that spot at the Falls Ravine.
00:42:38There's something I want to look at.
00:42:40Do you want to meet me?
00:42:58I'm going to go to that spot at the Falls Ravine.
00:43:35I'm going to go to that spot at the Falls Ravine.
00:43:41I'm going to go to that spot at the Falls Ravine.
00:43:41Oh, my God.
00:43:41Oh, my God.
00:43:49Oh, my God.
00:44:15Somebody 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!
00:44:33Take 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, public park, broad daylight, someone runs up behind you, pushes you, runs
00:45:03away, and you see nothing.
00:45:06Nothing?
00:45:09How much did that criminology degree cost?
00:45:11No, I was looking down into the ravine.
00:45:15What about you?
00:45:16Did you see anybody?
00:45:17No, no one.
00:45:19Who'd 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?
00:45:32Possibly.
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.
00:46:48Hmm.
00:47:09Freeze!
00:47:10Freeze!
00:47:11Sorry.
00:47:14I didn't want to wake you
00:47:17I know it's fine
00:47:18I wasn't sleeping anyways
00:47:20I was just 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
00:47:31Looking 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
00:47:44Man
00:47:47There'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
00:48:01In the morning
00:48:02Yeah
00:48:03But the time of death on the autopsy report said around 2am
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
00:48:19We 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, but 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
00:48:59Is 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
00:49:28Of 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
00:49:36Or if there's any way I can be of any assistance
00:49:40Will do
00:49:41Thank you
00:49:44Nice shot, Sheriff
00:49:46Thank you
00:50:03Woo!
00:50:04Woo!
00:50:05Ha ha!
00:50:06This one's a natural, she is
00:50:10How about another ding-dong?
00:50:12You are reading my mind
00:50:18So, how long were you Sheriff of Sweet River?
00:50:20Oh, too long
00:50:23Thankfully
00:50:24This young buck came along to put me out of my misery
00:50:29And, uh, what is it that you do?
00:50:32I'm a criminologist
00:50:33I work for the police department as well
00:50:36Do you now?
00:50:38In fact, I was hoping to ask you a couple of questions
00:50:40About an old case
00:50:42The death of Mark Ravel?
00:50:45I'm an old man
00:50:48I don't remember what I had for breakfast
00:50:50Let alone old cases
00:50:51Oh, 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
00:51:00Uh-uh
00:51:05You don't want to get into that
00:51:07This 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
00:51:23I'm definitely hitting the gym tomorrow
00:51:25You were supposed to be polite
00:51:26I was polite
00:51:27I was politely inquisitive
00:51:43You know, Ains
00:51:45Sweet rivers are home
00:51:46But
00:51:48We'll always be outsiders in some folks' eyes
00:51:52You start pointing fingers at people like the mayor and Barnes
00:51:56You gotta be really careful
00:51:57But 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 gotta 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
00:52:50We'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
00:53:17It'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
00:54:20But 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
00:54:41About 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 two dollar battery from Best Buy
00:54:53If this were an actual Valentin Revelle
00:54:56I wouldn't advise transporting
00:54:59Unless you were accompanied by an armed guard
00:55:02It's worth about three million
00:55:08That's why the watch was left on the body
00:55:10Because it's a fake
00:55:14So whoever stole the watch
00:55:16Somehow figured out it was fake
00:55:17Smashed it
00:55:18Put it back on the body
00:55:19That accounts for the four hour difference
00:55:21In the time of death
00:55:22Versus the time on the broken watch
00:55:24But why do that?
00:55:26Because if the valuables are left on the corpse
00:55:28There's no suspicion of foul play
00:55:29Right, it just gets ruled an accidental death
00:55:32Now
00:55:33Somebody could have taken the real watch
00:55:36And replaced it with a fake one
00:55:37Just to throw off the scent?
00:55:39It would have to be a dead ringer of a fake
00:55:41To even hope you could fool anyone that it was real
00:55:44Where would you even get something like that made?
00:55:46You're right
00:55:48The other major question is
00:55:50Who has the real watch?
00:55:52I'll get a search done of all the international registries
00:55:55And auction houses
00:55:56And if the sale was made legitimately
00:55:57We 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
00:56:20I will be right behind you
00:56:29See you in a bit
00:56:34Drive
00:56:37If you want to live, Ainsley
00:56:39Drive
00:56:40Now
00:56:59Whatever
00:57:00Right here
00:57:02Ryan
00:57:04Turn off the engine
00:57:11What's that?
00:57:14You'll see
00:57:33This
00:57:33Was the GPS tracker
00:57:35You were supposed to find
00:57:48And this
00:57:49Was the one you weren't supposed to find
00:57:53Let me see a phone
00:57:58Unlock it, please
00:58:04Here
00:58:04Ah, yes
00:58:06Ah, look at that
00:58:08Your phone has been cloned
00:58:11How 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
00:58:21They use the two things that move with you
00:58:24And there we are
00:58:26Your phone is clean
00:58:29You're welcome
00:58:36Jake
00:58:36Ainsley
00:58:37I'm okay
00:58:38I'm okay
00:58:38I'm okay
00:58:39It's okay
00:58:39Oh, I
00:58:41Oh, I can't believe I almost lost you
00:58:42I just turned around
00:58:43And then you were gone
00:58:43And then I've been driving around
00:58:44For the past 20 minutes
00:58:45Trying 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
00:58:56I'm nobody's friend
00:58:58I'm just a
00:59:00Ghost in the night
00:59:02Face in the crowd
00:59:03Fly on the wall
00:59:05But if you're asking me
00:59:07Whether or not I'm on
00:59:08Your side
00:59:09Well
00:59:11I'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
00:59:23He was there that night
00:59:24The night Mark died
00:59:31Did you see it happen?
00:59:33No
00:59:34In the weeks leading up to his death
00:59:37Mark had been receiving anonymous threatening phone calls
00:59:42Someone knew he had that watch
00:59:43And they were after it
00:59:45Mark had a dilemma on his hands
00:59:48There was no way
00:59:49That he was going to give up his family's namesake
00:59:52But he knew keeping it would make him a target
00:59:55So
00:59:56He came to me
00:59:58And we figured out the solution
01:00:00Something
01:00:01You see, I have a counterfeiting friend in Houston
01:00:03So I knew I could get a super fake
01:00:08Of course, we couldn't just FedEx the real watch to this guy
01:00:11So we had to measure it and picture it
01:00:13Right down to the last detail
01:00:15So that he could machine it
01:00:16And 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
01:00:23Yeah, it's this one
01:00:24Someone followed Mark
01:00:27You go
01:00:28Go
01:00:34Toby County Sheriff's Department
01:00:35Hands up
01:00:36Okay
01:00:42Lucky for us, though
01:00:43They didn't figure out what we were doing
01:00:45But Mark was arrested
01:00:47For running a gambling ring
01:00:49According to what we read on the arrest report
01:00:52So Sheriff Barnes was in on it
01:00:56After he was released
01:00:57Mark became even more determined
01:01:01We had to finish that replica fast
01:01:04The day it was done
01:01:06The day it was done
01:01:06I did a ten-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
01:01:21You had it?
01:01:31You think Mark was paranoid that he was being followed?
01:01:44That
01:01:46Was the last night I saw Mark alive
01:01:50And whoever he ran into on his way home that night
01:01:54Was the one who killed him
01:01:56Did Mark ever tell you who it was that was after him?
01:02:00Didn't tell me
01:02:01And I didn't ask
01:02:02If the Sheriff was involved, I didn't want to know
01:02:06And besides
01:02:08You 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
01:02:23To keep her out of it
01:02:27Why do you suppose his granddad gave him the watch and not her?
01:02:36We scoured every registry, auction house, community sales listing in the past ten years
01:02:41Nothing
01:02:42If the watch is out there, it means it's deep underground
01:02:45Probably sold illegally
01:02:46Down the black market
01:02:48You should be looking for someone who came into a lot of money
01:02:51But still had to find a way to launder it
01:02:53Any guesses?
01:02:56Jane had a very expensive mayoral campaign to pay for
01:02:59The 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
01:03:16She'd probably have the power to pull all the strings
01:03:19Have Mark framed
01:03:20Lean on Barnes
01:03:22To alter police reports
01:03:23Get 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
01:03:30Your phone getting cloned
01:03:32Your car getting bugged
01:03:33Jane did all that too?
01:03:38Why not?
01:03:39She knows I'm investigating the case
01:03:41And she has the most to lose if any new evidence comes to light
01:03:46Well, Jake, you know Jane the best of any of us
01:03:49Do you think that it's possible?
01:03:53Yeah, I believe it
01:03:55There's always something about it in trust
01:03:56It'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
01:04:16Not 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
01:04:24Which means someone has to wear a wire
01:04:31I'll do it
01:04:34She asked me to let her know
01:04:35If Ainsley found any new information on the case
01:04:37So I will call her
01:04:40Set up a meeting
01:04:41And I'll try and get her to talk
01:04:42If she's gonna spill her guts to anyone
01:04:45It's gonna be me
01:04:49Perfect
01:04:50Whoa, whoa, no, no
01:04:52Not perfect
01:04:54I've gotta get a warrant for starters
01:04:56Texas is a one-party consent state
01:04:58I'm aware of that, Professor
01:04:59But if we want the evidence to hold up in court
01:05:01I gotta get a 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
01:05:10But we're in Sweet River, not Langley
01:05:12We don't have the resources or the technology
01:05:14To deal with this kind of thing
01:05:19I think I know someone who can help
01:05:27Welly, well, well
01:05:28I never thought I'd see a day like this
01:05:31Me, a Robin Hood of the people
01:05:34Working alongside the Sheriff of Nottingham over there
01:05:37Mr. Mosby, the Colby County Sheriff's Department
01:05:40Appreciates your assistance in this matter
01:05:43Well, I 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
01:05:56No, thank you
01:05:58Thank you
01:06:01This has a range of half a mile
01:06:03However, it will have some issues
01:06:07If it has to transmit through prick or cement
01:06:10We'll be close by
01:06:11That's good
01:06:12Billy Mac, does your department have a surveillance van?
01:06:16Well, we have a van
01:06:17Do you?
01:06:19Yeah, but it's not exactly wired for surveillance
01:06:21Well, I will look in the back of mine
01:06:24And see what gear I have
01:06:29All right, I understand why you're A-Mac
01:06:32It means him to Gregor
01:06:34But why am I Billy Mac?
01:06:36Billy Mac, from the song
01:06:37He's a detective
01:06:39In Texas
01:06:40Steve Miller band?
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
01:06:54So 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
01:07:04Project Faceless
01:07:09Because watches have faces
01:07:10And so do we
01:07:11But
01:07:12We're incognito
01:07:14What did I just say?
01:07:16This doesn't officially exist
01:07:17Right
01:07:17So the mission does not need a name
01:07:20What mission?
01:07:25Okay
01:07:25We're going to be in a surveillance van
01:07:27Outside of Dooley's
01:07:28At 1900 hours tonight
01:07:30Our confidential informant is Chief Trenton
01:07:32Now
01:07:33If we're sloppy
01:07:34And we mess this up
01:07:35We're all going to look spectacularly stupid
01:07:37So let's make sure that doesn't happen
01:07:40Kevin, there's one more thing I need you to do
01:07:47I need you to write up an arrest warrant
01:07:50For Dalton Barnes
01:07:54But Sheriff Barnes?
01:07:55Yeah
01:07:56On what grounds?
01:07:58Instruction of justice
01:07:59Accessory to murder
01:08:00Falsifying police documents
01:08:02Do you have enough evidence to charge him?
01:08:05No
01:08:05But I've got probable cause enough to hold him for 24 hours
01:08:11I'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
01:08:22I sure hope you're sure
01:08:28Rye
01:08:30I'm sure that Jane is guilty
01:08:32Of something
01:08:33I just
01:08:34I don't know that she killed her brother
01:08:36What?
01:08:37Why would she put the watch on his wrong wrist?
01:08:40I don't know
01:08:41Maybe she panicked
01:08:44Ainsley
01:08:45Last 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
01:09:10And it's time to put a stop to that
01:09:34Hi
01:09:35Dooley
01:09:37Hey
01:09:38Hey
01:09:38How you doing chief?
01:09:39I'm all right
01:09:40Ainsley joining you tonight?
01:09:41No
01:09:42Ainsley's working
01:09:42I'm meeting the mayor
01:09:44Well your usual table's ready
01:09:47Actually you know what?
01:09:48I'm going to change you up tonight
01:09:48I'm going to sit over here at the bar
01:09:50Suit yourself
01:09:52Got some bad news though
01:09:53Oh no
01:09:55It's been a busy day Jake
01:09:56We're all out of brisket
01:09:57Oh it's okay
01:09:58I'm not that hungry
01:10:00No that's not the Jake I know
01:10:03Is everything okay?
01:10:04Yeah yeah it's fine
01:10:05Just some work stuff
01:10:07Well you know some days
01:10:08It feels like
01:10:09One wheels off
01:10:10And the axles drag
01:10:12I'm going to get you two
01:10:14A couple drinks
01:10:14Thank you
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
01:10:22He's fine
01:10:23Let him settle in
01:10:26I talk to myself all the time
01:10:28It's the only interesting conversation
01:10:30I ever have
01:10:31Excuse me
01:10:33Stay frosty people
01:10:35I got caddy movement
01:10:38Copy
01:10:55Condor's landed
01:10:56We're in business
01:10:58I told Kevin not to wear that mustache
01:11:00Really?
01:11:01I told him it looks great
01:11:03He's like a wild west magnum P.I.
01:11:12You look good J.T.
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 Ainsley tonight?
01:11:23No no we don't see each other that much
01:11:25Really?
01:11:27I thought the two of you were an item
01:11:28No no no it's not that serious
01:11:31I guess he's settling in
01:11:35Shall we order?
01:11:38I always get the brisket sandwich
01:11:40Me too
01:11:41But they're all sold out
01:11:43What?
01:11:44Yeah
01:11:44Oh 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
01:11:57Okay
01:11:59He's playing it cool
01:12:01You should try it sometime
01:12:09Cheers
01:12:14Mmm
01:12:15So
01:12:16You said Ainsley had some new info about Mark's death
01:12:20Yeah I'm not sure if you heard or not
01:12:22But 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
01:12:30But they still want me
01:12:31You know anything about it?
01:12:34I overheard Ainsley talking to Ryan
01:12:37Apparently Barnes told them that
01:12:39Your 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
01:12:50Oh
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
01:12:59Yes
01:13:00Yeah that um
01:13:01But also abusing your position of power for your own financial gain
01:13:05Okay that's rich
01:13:07Coming from Barnes
01:13:09Jane you know what
01:13:10I don't want to get in the middle of this
01:13:12Too late
01:13:13Tell me what he said
01:13:17Uh
01:13:18Well Barnes
01:13:19He um
01:13:21He said that you
01:13:22You
01:13:24Killed
01:13:25Mark to get the watch
01:13:26My own brother
01:13:27I'm just
01:13:28I'm just telling you what I heard
01:13:29Look
01:13:30I wanted
01:13:31That watch
01:13:32I deserved that watch
01:13:34Mark wouldn't give it to me
01:13:35So 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
01:13:45And I needed it more than he did
01:13:48Oh come on Jake
01:13:49Deliver 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
01:14:00If what?
01:14:01If I killed him?
01:14:04You know I don't think that we should talk about this anymore
01:14:08I am no killer
01:14:11Sure
01:14:11I set up Barnes that night to get that watch
01:14:13But I am not a murderer
01:14:15What?
01:14:21That's actionable
01:14:22Patrol deputies move in
01:14:23I uh
01:14:24I'm just gonna go use the ladies room
01:14:27Of course
01:14:29She's gonna rub it
01:14:30Rabbit?
01:14:39She's running
01:14:40Suspect's on the move
01:14:47Stop
01:14:49Mayor
01:14:53Mayor
01:14:54Mayor Reval
01:15:00You'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 Reval
01:15:26Mayor Reval you're aware of the charges being laid against you?
01:15:30Lawyer
01:15:33I know that you know your rights
01:15:34You're not required to say anything at this time
01:15:36But in the event that you'd like to add anything to your testimony voluntarily
01:15:42I'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
01:16:12Earlier that day
01:16:13And we had a screaming match about the whole plan
01:16:15I told him
01:16:16I changed my mind
01:16:18And that he shouldn't go and meet Mark
01:16:19But he wouldn't listen to me
01:16:21Is there anybody who can
01:16:23Corroborate this?
01:16:26My children's nanny, Philippa
01:16:28Overheard the whole exchange
01:16:30I remember
01:16:31Because she wanted to call the cops
01:16:33Without realizing how ironic that was
01:16:38Do you believe her?
01:16:40Yeah
01:16:40It doesn't matter
01:16:42We have her on the other charges
01:16:43Even if this Philippa the nanny person surfaces
01:16:47Wait
01:16:48Do you know the nickname for Philippa?
01:16:50Phil?
01:16:52Pippa
01:16:53Who?
01:16:54Pippa was Maria's babysitter
01:16:56She 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
01:17:08And she knew about the plan to steal it
01:17:12How would you two like to do another unofficial watchgate sting?
01:17:16No
01:17:16Yes
01:17:20There's a fake watch?
01:17:22Yes
01:17:25But
01:17:26But there definitely was a real watch
01:17:28Who 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
01:17:39And just go along with whatever happens, okay?
01:17:48Hi
01:17:51Hi
01:17:55I just can't believe that Jane has been hanging on to the real watch for all these years
01:18:00Jane
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
01:18:34Could you please tell me what's going on?
01:18:37Hold on, hold on
01:18:38Wait
01:18:38Me two
01:18:38Me 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
01:19:22You 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
01:19:29It's gonna be okay
01:19:32You knew some kind of transaction was about to happen because
01:19:36You overheard Jane and Barnes arguing earlier
01:19:39So you followed Mark
01:19:43It 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
01:19:49It was on the path by the river
01:20:03Please!
01:20:04Ah, please!
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
01:20:36Okay?
01:20:39Go home
01:20:42Don't go, please
01:20:44Don't go, please
01:20:45Don't go, please
01:20:50Don't go, please
01:20:51There just wasn't time than gone home
01:20:54What happened next?
01:20:59I had the watch, I 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
01:21:42I panicked
01:21:43I thought of the only thing I could do to not get caught
01:21:52The guy who had the Dang
01:21:54And I had the maid
01:22:02What'd she say?
01:22:09And then he could do it
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.
01:22:42And 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?
01:22:58I 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.
01:23:08Scare me off?
01:23:10Oh, 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.
01:24:01Buried?
01:24:06Maria, what's this?
01:24:07It was in the safe.
01:24:09Oh, that'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
01:25:47to work on any lukewarm cases?
01:25:49I'm not going to tell you anything.
01:25:51What's the point?
01:25:51You 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?
01:26:28No, he drives right past my place on the way home.
01:26:32Will you two grow up, please?
01:26:33Have fun.
01:26:37Mmm.
01:26:38You know, when you were wearing that wire,
01:26:40some 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, are you 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,
01:27:10I'm more interested in focusing on the future.
01:27:14That is what I love about you.
01:27:16Really?
01:27:17Mm-hmm.
01:27:24Tell me more about what you love about me.
01:27:26Is there anything else at a short list or a long list?
01:27:28I love your...
01:27:29I love you.
01:27:59I love you.
01:28:00I love you.
01:28:01I love you.
01:28:02I love you.
01:28:02You
