00:01Previously on, One Calls the Hearth.
00:03Mr. Gowan!
00:04This Toby and Cooper made a campfire.
00:06Before the fire started, it's probably what caused it.
00:09What about that?
00:10Lee?
00:11What you experienced was an anxiety neurosis.
00:14I was very focused on trying to prove my worth to you.
00:16Well, it was foolish.
00:17I regret my rash words.
00:19Looks like some burnt cement.
00:21I think the bigger question is, what was it?
00:23Gowan discovers two chunks in Christopher's car.
00:25Near the schoolhouse, Nathan and Elizabeth sit together on horseback.
00:31Even after all these years, I never tire of this view.
00:35Yeah, it's okay.
00:38No, I'm happy to be here, despite the dreadful early hour.
00:44Just trying to steal some time for just us.
00:49Yeah, well, I had some stealing this mound you could get behind.
00:55How are you, Nathan, honestly?
00:58Honestly, I've been a little obsessed with this fire investigation that I can't seem to close.
01:03You practically live behind that desk of yours these days.
01:06Don't be so hard on yourself.
01:07No, I mean like...
01:09I mean like I should be able to close it.
01:13Protocol, regulation, it's done.
01:16Anyways, I'm sorry, we came up here not to talk about the investigation.
01:22We're not here to forget.
01:25Just to take a step back and appreciate what we have.
01:31Smell the roses.
01:32Right now, in this moment, we can just be together.
01:38I like that.
01:42Meanwhile, at the school, Joseph enters to discover Gowan seated at the front.
01:46Good morning, Henry.
01:48Well, I'd come back.
01:50Oh, no, we're here now.
01:52How can I help, my friend?
01:54Oh, I'm all right.
01:55What's the toolbox for?
01:57Oh, Elizabeth asked me to check on a sagging door.
02:00Can I help you?
02:01I'd appreciate that.
02:04Oh.
02:05Need new hands or...?
02:07Yeah, probably a shim too.
02:09They crouch by the door.
02:16Joseph, what do you do if someone you love did something that's horrible?
02:24If your brother sins, rebuke him.
02:28If he repents, forgive him.
02:33What if it's unforgivable?
02:36Well, that's not for us to judge.
02:41You know, Henry, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't struggling, knowing that my own son may have started
02:49that fire.
02:50Even by accident.
02:53All I can do is be there for him.
02:56Love him.
02:58That's all any of us can do.
03:00Cooper's a good kid.
03:04And that was his age all.
03:06All I was looking for was an easy way out.
03:12A long time after that, too.
03:15Well, you found your way.
03:19That's what matters.
03:21Sometimes, just standing beside our loved ones,
03:25no matter what they may have done,
03:28there's all the guiding light they need.
03:31And the greatest blessing.
03:41They both stand up.
03:44Good as new.
03:46It's gotta be.
03:47Thanks, my friend.
03:49Thanks, Joseph.
03:51Have a good rest of your day.
03:53Me, too.
03:57Caption.
03:58A hallmark original series.
04:00A montage features characters from the little town.
04:03School teacher Elizabeth Thornton.
04:04Rosemary Colter.
04:06Lucas Bouchard.
04:07Bill Avery.
04:08Lee Colter.
04:09Joseph Canfield.
04:11And Mountie Nathan Grant.
04:12The title appears.
04:14When Calls the Heart.
04:17In the woods, Lee stands on a bridge, fishing.
04:23The reel spins.
04:26Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:28No matter what I do.
04:30Ah, gee.
04:31What are you, Moby Dick?
04:32No matter how hard I reel, I just can't pull it up.
04:35And that's it?
04:36Yep.
04:36That's it.
04:37With Rosemary.
04:38Breakfast?
04:38No, no.
04:39Wait just a second.
04:40We are going to see what Dr. Freud has to say about this.
04:43Rosie, it's just a dream.
04:44A recurring dream?
04:46Okay, you know what?
04:46I'm gonna put on some coffee.
04:49Uh-huh.
04:51Here it is.
04:53Fishing symbolizes dreamers need to bring something to the surface.
04:58Well, that's the whole point.
04:59I can't.
04:59Exactly.
05:00I think the reason you can't bring it out of the water is because your subconscious mind
05:07is suppressing whatever it is the fish represents.
05:11So what do you think it is?
05:13I don't know.
05:14Maybe a marlin?
05:15Or a trout?
05:16Big tuna?
05:17Ha-ha.
05:18You are going to laugh yourself right back into the infirmary.
05:21Or worse.
05:22Oh, come on, sweetheart.
05:24No.
05:25You come on.
05:26You're not the one who had to watch the love of your life grasping his chest and struggling
05:31to breathe.
05:32You're absolutely right.
05:36Sweetheart, I promise you, I will do exactly what you tell me to do.
05:40All right?
05:41Okay.
05:42Okay.
05:42As soon as I get home from the office.
05:44No.
05:44The new contractor.
05:45No.
05:46Fernando, yes.
05:47No work.
05:48No office.
05:50On the boardwalk with Allie and LJ.
05:52Can you bring me to the clinic every morning?
05:54It was fun in Cape Fullerton, wasn't it?
05:57I miss riding the carousel with you.
06:00Aw.
06:00Me too.
06:02I'll show my sister.
06:03Then we can do everything together forever.
06:06Hi, honey bear.
06:07You all done with Dr. Carter?
06:09A model patient, as always.
06:11Allie's coming for dinner.
06:13And Mountain Ethan.
06:15Tonight?
06:16Forever.
06:17Bill appears.
06:17Um, where's my invitation to this dinner, young man?
06:20You can come too.
06:22I wouldn't want to impose.
06:23Not at all.
06:24There's room for everyone.
06:25I can help you cook.
06:26He turns to Bill.
06:28Can I talk to you for a sec?
06:30Okay, kiddos.
06:31Let's see if Minnie has any muffins.
06:32Mmm.
06:33Bye!
06:36So the last of the maps came in from Pioneer Electric.
06:39And?
06:39It's a dead end.
06:40None of their equipment's near the fire's area of origin.
06:42Unfortunately, there's no way to know where that concrete came from.
06:45Doesn't leave us many leads, does it?
06:47Just one.
06:48Bill looks down the street at an approaching vintage car.
06:53You expecting someone?
06:54Is that a crime?
06:56No.
06:57This...
06:57I didn't know we both were.
07:00The car stops outside the visitor's center.
07:03And a young white man in a red Mountie uniform steps out.
07:08Name's Elmore Briggs.
07:10Constable Grant?
07:11Briggs.
07:12Welcome to Hope Valley.
07:15Georgie steps out and smiles at Bill.
07:20Hello, Bill.
07:21Lovely to see you.
07:23Hello, Georgie.
07:25They share a smile.
07:28Now, at the cafe, Allie enters with Elizabeth and LJ.
07:31She walks up to Oliver.
07:33Whoa!
07:34We have some muffins for the rest of us.
07:36Hi, Allie.
07:37These aren't just for me.
07:38Your dad wanted me to get some.
07:39My dad does love muffins.
07:41And as constable, it's within his rights to commandeer as many as he wants.
07:45Mm-hmm.
07:46Well, I gotta get back.
07:48See ya.
07:48Bye, Allie.
07:49He goes to the door and then turns back and waves.
07:52Allie smiles and waves back.
07:54Elizabeth watches from a distance and smiles.
07:57On the boardwalk with Nathan, Georgie, Elmore and Bill.
08:00What's that called again?
08:02Polygraph machine, sir.
08:03It's going to revolutionize detective work.
08:05Did you know about this?
08:07Yes.
08:07Headquarters thought it'd be helpful for the investigation.
08:10The young constable and I enjoyed a spirited debate on the train.
08:14Science versus instinct.
08:16When it comes to detecting a lie, a polygraph is far more reliable.
08:21Human intuition or instinct can be influenced by any number of factors.
08:25A machine has no such deficiencies.
08:27Well, Lamont, his intuition is a different breed.
08:30Remember that young man.
08:31We'll test them both.
08:32I'm going to get set up.
08:36Oh, Oliver.
08:37Say Operation Muffins was a success?
08:40Go help constable Briggs clear up the desk and set up the polygraph.
08:43Yes, sir.
08:44Judge Avery.
08:45Inspector McGill.
08:46Oh, offer him a muffin.
08:50So, Georgie, how long are you staying with us?
08:52As long as it takes to help Miss Martell get national insurance to pony up to its Benson Hill policyholders.
08:57They are pulling some fast ones on denying the claims.
09:00I recommended her to Edie because nobody's better at using forensics to sniff out how these companies try to hide
09:07their illicit funds in their books.
09:09Smart move.
09:10He turns to Georgie.
09:12Say, why don't you join us later?
09:15For the...
09:17What do Briggs call it?
09:18The calibration.
09:20I might just enjoy seeing your new toy in action.
09:24Come on.
09:25I'll walk you over to the office.
09:27Meanwhile, at the saloon, Lucas looks up from his desk.
09:31He furrows his brow.
09:35He steps into the saloon and then walks up to Edie as she struggles to drag a table.
09:40You seem to have an affinity for moving heavy furniture.
09:43You're the one who keeps coming to my aid despite the peril.
09:47It's simply an affinity for you.
09:50I don't suppose you're free for dinner.
09:52Regrettably, no.
09:53I'm hosting a charity poker tournament tonight.
09:57Should have guessed the moving of tables wasn't simply for sport.
10:00Well, it actually is.
10:01Kind of.
10:03The Benson Hills Recreation Center isn't covered by territorial relief funds, so I'm helping them to raise some money.
10:10Well, I can take that up with the council.
10:14And chip in, so to speak.
10:16Lucas, I'm not asking for your money.
10:18I think you'd agree.
10:20I can hold my own at a poker table.
10:22Oh.
10:23I guess we'll see tonight.
10:27Lucas watches her go and smiles.
10:29At home, Rosemary opens her front door.
10:32Faith! What a lovely surprise. Come on in.
10:35I have news about Gwendolyn's father.
10:38Is she here?
10:39Yes, yes. She's right out back.
10:41Gwen!
10:43Oh, my gosh.
10:45What's going on? Is he okay?
10:46Hi, Gwen. Your dad is more than okay.
10:49His doctor from Buxton Hospital called me and told me that he's no longer at risk of infection.
10:54So, they're allowing visitors now.
10:57We can go today if you like.
10:59Okay. I have to get ready.
11:01Go. Go get ready.
11:02I have to get the...
11:03It's all right. I'll get it for you. Go on.
11:05Gwen hurries upstairs.
11:08Thank you for coming to deliver such happy news.
11:10The pleasure's all mine.
11:13How are you doing, Lee?
11:15I mean, I'm not as good as that, but all in all, I'm doing pretty good, I think.
11:20I've been reminding him to breathe. Always a good idea.
11:23Ah, yeah. Okay, fine.
11:27At the saloon, Lucas knocks over a white man with a beard.
11:31Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry.
11:34You should watch where you're going, amigo.
11:35You're absolutely right. Please let me help you up.
11:37The man stands up and stares.
11:40Governor Bouchard.
11:41Mr. Arroyo, are you all right?
11:43Yes, all's well. Thank you.
11:44No, it's completely my fault. I shouldn't walk and read at the same time.
11:47Mike, would you please pour this gentleman a drink on me?
11:50Immediately.
11:51I picked up a little Espanol on my honeymoon down to Miami.
11:55Are these plans for the Benson Hills rebuild?
11:58You know about it?
12:00Intimately.
12:02Fernando Arroyo.
12:04Coulter Construction's new contractor.
12:07Lucas Bouchard at your service.
12:09I was hoping to meet with Mr. Coulter as soon as I checked in.
12:12I'm afraid Mr. Coulter's wife has him on a new health regimen that limits his weekend work.
12:18Well, I have no such regimen.
12:20Or wife.
12:22I'm happy to share my ideas for those plans if you're interested.
12:26Ideas are exactly what I'm interested in.
12:28Please.
12:30Lee drives down a dirt road with Gwen.
12:32He stops outside a rural gas station with two men outside.
12:39Hey there, boys. Fill it up for us.
12:41Here we go.
12:43Thank you very much.
12:44Gwen holds a walking stick and studies a carved bear head on top.
12:48Hey, take my word for it. He's gonna love it.
12:50It's not smooth enough.
12:52Are you kidding me?
12:54I can only wish to carve like that.
12:56I don't want to go anymore.
12:58Wait, why?
12:59Can we just go back?
13:01Please.
13:02Gwen, your dad is gonna be so excited to see you.
13:05That's the real gift here, not the stick.
13:08No.
13:09I just can't go.
13:11I can't.
13:14Okay.
13:15Alright.
13:16If that's what you really want, I'm fine with that.
13:21It's okay.
13:26If there was a torture device in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, this would be it.
13:31It's more H.G. Wells to me, but not quite a time machine.
13:35Or a self-made ticker tape.
13:37Yeah.
13:39Trust me, I've heard it all, but wait till you see it in action.
13:42Now, who wants to tell me what the calibration?
13:44Oh, you need a guinea pig.
13:46Nathan and Bill look at Oliver, eating.
13:48You're out.
13:50Me?
13:51Oliver sits down and Elmore steps forward.
13:55Arms up.
13:55Lean forward.
13:59Thank you for the muffin, by the way.
14:01Elmore straps him in and then puts down playing cards.
14:05The device measures heartbeat, blood pressure, and respiration.
14:08The readouts are recorded here.
14:12A cylinder graph.
14:13You're nervous.
14:15I could have told you that.
14:17Don't touch the cards, Constable, but pick one and don't tell me which one.
14:21Oliver nods.
14:23Alright then.
14:25What's your full name?
14:26Oliver Marion Garrett.
14:28Elmore watches the moving graph needle.
14:31In which city or town were you born?
14:34I...
14:34I don't know.
14:37The needle moves.
14:39What's your favorite food?
14:41Liverwurst.
14:42Elmore watches the needle.
14:46Now the cards.
14:48One by one, I'll ask you if each card is the one that you selected.
14:51I want you to answer no to all of them, including the one that you chose.
14:54Understood?
14:55Is your card the ace of spades?
14:57No.
14:59Is your card the queen of hearts?
15:02No.
15:03Is your card the king of diamonds?
15:05No.
15:06Your card is the queen of hearts.
15:11That's right.
15:14Boys and their toys.
15:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, Constable.
15:18I want to ask one question.
15:20Nathan sits down in front of him.
15:22Oliver.
15:24Why don't you tell me just what you really think of what you had for breakfast this morning?
15:37Uh...
15:38I liked it.
15:39A lot.
15:40Bill made waffles.
15:42Elmore studies the moving needle and gives a thumbs up.
15:47I'm gonna have to try these waffles.
15:50Indeed.
15:51Georgie.
15:52Why don't you join us for dinner tonight at Elizabeth's?
15:55Bill's coming.
15:56Oh, I'm sure she has other plans.
15:58That would be wonderful.
16:00We could walk there together if you'd like.
16:03I'd like that very much.
16:05In a big city cafe, Christopher sits at a table and studies a piece of paper.
16:11Gowan appears and sits across from him.
16:16Christopher looks up at him.
16:18Ben.
16:19Gowan slides a small vase of flowers out of the way.
16:22What are you doing here?
16:23He puts down the two chunks of concrete.
16:25Christopher looks at him.
16:28Tell me about this.
16:33Well, how do you even know what that is?
16:35Constable Grant found this mysterious concrete where the fire started.
16:41He asked me if I knew what it was.
16:45I didn't.
16:48Until I found the same thing in the trunk of your car.
16:55Well, I learned from the past, didn't I?
16:59Learn this.
17:01Whatever your involvement in this is, whatever you stand to gain, it ain't worth it.
17:08It's just business.
17:09No, it's not.
17:12Don't trade your humanity for a paycheck.
17:16Don't talk to me about my humanity.
17:20You've treated yours my whole life instead of being a father to me yourself.
17:29That's fair.
17:34Look at me.
17:36Look what I got for sitting where you are now.
17:42I lost all those years.
17:44I'll never get them back.
17:45Neither of us will.
17:50This is your moment of truth.
17:55I don't think it was an accident that you left this in the trunk of your car.
17:59I think that there was a part of you that wanted someone to find it.
18:06I'm talking to that part right now.
18:10Yeah, well, it's too late now anyways.
18:13No, it's not too late.
18:15You don't have to condemn those boys for your mistake.
18:19You talk to Constable Grant, you unburden yourself.
18:26If you don't the way you're feeling right now,
18:32then I'll never leave you.
18:42You got a decision to make.
18:45I hope you make the right one.
18:49Christopher's eyes fill with tears.
18:51Gowan stands up and goes to the cafe door.
18:59At the saloon office with Fernando.
19:01I used poured concrete bricks on dozens of homes when Pine Creek opened for development last year.
19:06That was you?
19:07I approve that.
19:09Smart.
19:11Concrete is better looking and more fire resistant.
19:16How have we not met before?
19:17Because I was a cowboy.
19:20Until just a few years ago.
19:22Herding cattle, training horses.
19:25My other passion.
19:26You're a true renaissance man.
19:30I follow my heart's desires, that's all.
19:33Fernando, thank you.
19:35I need to make a stop at home before my evening plans today.
19:39And we still need to find time to take in an automobile race.
19:42I would love that, Governor.
19:43Oh, Lucas, please.
19:46Do you play poker?
19:47Play?
19:48No.
19:50I live for poker.
19:52Why do you ask?
19:54Because you're going to be my guest tonight at a charity poker event.
19:57If you're free, of course.
19:59It will be my pleasure, Lucas.
20:06Lee comes to a stop on a dirt road.
20:12Why are we stopping?
20:15You smell that, kiddo?
20:16What?
20:18Fresh water.
20:19A little breeze on the face.
20:21Maybe just a smidge of good luck.
20:23Are you having another episode?
20:25No, I am not having another episode, thank you very much.
20:29We just so happen to be near one of my favorite honey holes.
20:32Pond. For fishing.
20:34So?
20:35What do you say?
20:37Why?
20:38What do you mean, why?
20:39It's a beautiful day, and even though it's not technically on the clipboard list of approved relaxation activities, I think
20:46Rosie might let it slide.
20:47Where are we going to get rods and bait?
20:50Oh, ye of little faith.
20:52Come on, young one, let's go.
20:54They step out of the vehicle.
20:57See, Henry keeps, or Mr. Gowan, always keeps something here for anybody driving by who might want a little tranquility.
21:04There you go.
21:05He hands her a fishing rod and a can of worms.
21:10So, you know how to bait a hook?
21:12Watch me.
21:13She takes a worm.
21:14It's a good one.
21:17My dad taught me to leave the tail dangling, like this, so the fish sees it.
21:21Hmm.
21:22But how do you know which end is the tail?
21:26You're funny.
21:27Sort of.
21:28They sit on the bank and fish.
21:34I don't get it.
21:36You thought you had a heart attack, but you didn't.
21:39So why do you still have to be doing all this relaxing?
21:42Um, because my wife is smarter than me, and she loves me.
21:47My mom loved my dad.
21:49But she died.
21:51Now my dad just has me.
21:55Um, um, I'm sorry about your mom.
22:00She'd been sick for a while.
22:02Dad took me to the hospital every day.
22:05I hated seeing her there.
22:09Everyone kept telling me she'd get better.
22:12Yeah.
22:15Sometimes, uh, Gwen, they...
22:18Sometimes people just don't.
22:20I'm so sorry, Gwen.
22:23Now everyone keeps telling me my dad is gonna be fine, but people who are fine don't go to the
22:28hospital for this long.
22:30Hey.
22:32Look at me. This is important, alright?
22:34Your dad is not sick the way your mom was. I promise you that.
22:38The worst thing that's gonna happen is we're gonna go to the hospital, and you're gonna see a big white
22:42plaster cast on his leg.
22:43That's it. If anything, it's just gonna look kinda funny.
22:46Really?
22:47Yes!
22:47Seeing you is gonna give him hope.
22:51It's gonna put a big ol' smile on his face, huh?
22:54Like that.
22:55Yes, like that one right there.
22:57You should've seen his smile when we got to the top of Mount Kilwaukie last summer.
23:00He carried me on his shoulders most of the way, and we camped out for two whole weeks, and he
23:06taught me all about the constellations.
23:08That sounds like a lot of fun.
23:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I think he got one!
23:15He's a fighter, but I got him!
23:18Easy there, Philip!
23:19Keep it going, keep it going!
23:20Come on!
23:22Oh, I got him, I got him, I got him!
23:24Ah, there we go!
23:26He pulls in a fish.
23:27Whoa! Look at that!
23:29He's a beaut!
23:30Beautilicious!
23:32My dad's the word for pretty animals that taste good.
23:36That's a good word.
23:38Won't Rosemary be surprised when we bring home this beautilicious fish for dinner?
23:44Can we go see my dad first?
23:48Absolutely we can, kiddo.
23:49I'll just put this guy on ice, and then you two can take all the time you want.
23:53Thank you, Mr. Coulter.
23:56It is my absolute pleasure.
23:58Gwen smiles.
24:01Thank you for having us, Elizabeth, Nathan.
24:04These are for you.
24:05Oh, my goodness, they're gorgeous!
24:06Thank you!
24:07I'll just put them in water, please.
24:10Uncle Bill!
24:11Aw, Jackaroo!
24:13Hey, hey, hey, hey!
24:14Actually, he's going by LJ now.
24:17LJ, huh?
24:17It's still like Jackaroo.
24:19There's no little!
24:21Aw, that is a good point.
24:23Jackaroo stands.
24:24Yes, it does.
24:25Hi, Judge Avery.
24:26Hey, hi, Allie.
24:28You guys remember my friend Inspector McGill, don't you?
24:31Also known as X-Ray McGill.
24:33Will you stop with that?
24:35Nice to see you again, Inspector McGill.
24:38Hi, Inspector X-Ray!
24:40No, it's Inspector McGill.
24:43Uncle Bill just has the funnies tonight.
24:45How'd she get the nickname?
24:47It was in forensics class in RCMP basic training.
24:51Bill started calling me that, and it stuck.
24:54Because she was so good at reading people,
24:56she could always tell if someone was lying.
24:59And apparently there is a machine that can do that now.
25:02So you mean the polygraph?
25:04That's right.
25:05Word spreads fast.
25:06People have to tell the truth, or they get in trouble, right?
25:10Well, the idea is that it can tell if people are lying or not.
25:13But if they get in trouble afterwards, that's a separate issue.
25:16LJ, let's see if you can tell if I'm lying or telling the truth.
25:21I brought you a brand new box of Crayola crayons.
25:26Oh, boy! I think it's the truth!
25:28You're right!
25:30Thank you, Inspector McGill!
25:32You're welcome, Mr. Jackaroo.
25:33And I understand we have a budding young writer with us this evening.
25:37She gives Allie a pen.
25:39Inspector McGill, thank you.
25:43Yeah, that's very thoughtful.
25:45That's awful sweet of you.
25:46Hey, let's go find some paper.
25:48Yeah!
25:50Thanks again, Inspector.
25:51Have fun, you two!
25:53Well, I should check on dessert.
25:56I hope you all like lemon curd.
25:58Oh, it smells delicious.
26:00Yes, it does.
26:01It's Nathan's favorite.
26:02Yes, it's the best dessert that I ever had.
26:05Better than my mother's blueberry pie.
26:07Bill and Georgie share a look.
26:09At home, Rosemary wipes a bowl as Lee and Gwen enter.
26:14Welcome home.
26:16Thanks, sweetheart.
26:17I'm going to bed if that's okay.
26:19Oh, of course, kiddo. Yeah.
26:21Sweet dreams.
26:23Gwen disappears upstairs.
26:29Is she okay?
26:32What happened at the hospital?
26:34Sweetheart, I wish you'd have been there.
26:36It was beautiful.
26:37She and James were over the moon to see each other.
26:40They talked for hours.
26:45But I got a little choked up myself.
26:47Of course you did.
26:49Your big old softy Leland culture.
26:51Sometimes.
26:53And...
26:54I got dinner.
26:55Did a little fishing.
26:57It's your dream.
26:59No, not like the dream.
27:02Okay, well, a little bit maybe.
27:05I suppose it made me realize that I want to spend more one-on-one time with Goldie.
27:10So starting tomorrow, it's going to be daddy-daughter berry picking, followed by daddy-daughter ice cream lunch.
27:16If that could be on the approved list of relaxation activities.
27:20It can be added.
27:22Excellent.
27:24So it seems as though Dr. Freud was right.
27:30Pays to take the time to reach down into the water to see what might be lurking below the surface?
27:36Mm-hmm.
27:37It was dinner, Rosie.
27:38It was a beautiful-licious dinner lurking below the surface.
27:43Beautiful-licious.
27:44Uh-huh.
27:46Okay.
27:48Lee smiles.
27:49Now back to Elizabeth.
27:50More dessert, anyone?
27:52Oh, no, thank you, Elizabeth.
27:53You're going to have to take me out of here in a wheelbarrow.
27:55I'm afraid I'm going to have to wave the white flag as well.
27:59Me too.
28:00What about you, Nathan?
28:01Any room for more lemon curd?
28:02Oh, I think I'll be joining Bill in that wheelbarrow if I have any more.
28:05But please, save some for tomorrow.
28:06That stuff is gold.
28:08All right.
28:09Time to get ready for bed, LJ.
28:11Can Allie read to me?
28:12Of course.
28:15Allie steps away with LJ.
28:18They are such great kids.
28:21Amen to that.
28:22I couldn't agree more.
28:23I loved watching LJ try to wrap his brain around the polygraph.
28:27Kids, they have no fear of this newfangled technology.
28:30It's couples that could benefit the most from the polygraph.
28:34Hmm.
28:35I actually think that total honesty is more suited for best friends than for couples.
28:40People want a little mystery with their romance.
28:44I disagree.
28:46Nathan and I don't have any secrets, do we?
28:49That's right.
28:51Bill twists his neck and raises an eyebrow.
28:54What?
28:54What is that?
28:55Oh, my neck.
28:56Must have pulled something.
28:59Really?
29:00Okay.
29:02It's pretty clear that you're not honest with Elizabeth about everything.
29:06What is that supposed to mean?
29:07What are you getting at, Bill?
29:09You really want to know?
29:10Absolutely not.
29:10I'm an open book.
29:12The lemon curd.
29:15Clearly not your favorite constable.
29:18What?
29:19See that reaction?
29:20A little over the top.
29:21Yeah.
29:21I'm sorry, my friend.
29:22My love and devotion for Elizabeth's lemon curd is unassailable.
29:28Hmm.
29:29What do you think, X-Ray McGill?
29:31Oh, yeah.
29:32He can't stand it.
29:34Your voice goes up at the end.
29:35Yeah.
29:36Really?
29:36Very funny.
29:37Never mind.
29:38I mean, we are off the clock.
29:39Yeah, forget it.
29:40Your voice did kind of go up at the end.
29:45You too, Elizabeth?
29:46You just did it again.
29:48Well, I was asking a question.
29:49Your voice naturally goes up at the end of a question.
29:51There is one way we could settle this.
29:53The polygraph?
29:55Oh, right.
29:56Sure.
29:58Well, why not?
30:01Uh, well, um...
30:04For starters, it's pretty late to call on Constable Briggs, right?
30:07Even in the interest of science?
30:10He said it could always use more testing and calibrating.
30:13The machine could use more testing and calibrating, Nathan.
30:16Isn't that a fact, Phil?
30:17Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
30:19Uh, we couldn't help overhearing.
30:22Can we come, too?
30:24Please?
30:25LJ has been asking to see the polygraph.
30:28It'll be educational.
30:30Let's go!
30:32Yay!
30:33Uh, guys, this, uh, we're...
30:37Nathan sits alone.
30:40At the jail, Elmore straps Nathan into the chair.
30:44Well, I hope you're all enjoying this.
30:46Well, we are.
30:47All those wires and buttons.
30:50Thanks for letting us come, Dad.
30:52You're very welcome.
30:53Although I think somebody else should be sitting in this chair.
30:56Why?
30:57You have nothing to worry about, right?
30:59Right.
30:59It's just, you know, it's technology.
31:02It's...
31:02Not 100%.
31:04That's a fact.
31:05Actually, Mounties invariably get the most accurate readings because of our training, temperaments, and reverence for the truth.
31:13See?
31:14You have the perfect temperament.
31:15And reverence.
31:16Uh, please don't touch that.
31:22Sorry.
31:23The needle moves.
31:24Actually, you're not.
31:25What?
31:26We're up and running.
31:27We should have brought popcorn.
31:29And we're ready to start.
31:31What's your full name?
31:33Nathan Archibald Grant.
31:35Elmore watches the needle move.
31:37In which city or town were you born?
31:41Winnipeg.
31:44Is Elizabeth Thornton's lemon curd your favorite dessert?
31:49Nathan looks over at Elizabeth, then locks eyes with Bill and Georgie.
31:54Elizabeth smiles at him and leans forward.
31:57Yes.
32:00They all watch the needle move.
32:03Not true, Constable.
32:08Melody needs and lie?
32:10Well, according to the polygraph.
32:13LJ, you know, we're just testing the machine.
32:15So you meant to lie.
32:17Well, not really.
32:21These polygraphs, they're not 100% accurate.
32:24Constable, due respect, but this is as clear and definitive a result as we did on the model 45972G.
32:32Constable, I'm sure it is. That's great.
32:33Elizabeth, look. I love your lemon curd because I love you.
32:39Elmore checks the graph.
32:43That's true.
32:44Okay, well, that's not exactly the same.
32:46No, it is, really. I don't mind saying this in front of everybody here.
32:49But my love for you is so much bigger than some dessert.
32:54Because it means the world to me.
32:59Just like you mean the world to me.
33:02Is that when you're going to marry my mum on LJ, Nathan?
33:06Well, that's a funny question, LJ.
33:10I wasn't trying to be funny.
33:12Um, of course not.
33:15Well, I was thinking...
33:17Christopher bursts in.
33:18Ah, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize...
33:23No, Christopher, what can we do for you?
33:26Christopher looks out the door, then back at Nathan.
33:31The end.
33:32The end.
33:36Hello.
33:38Fernando, thank you for coming.
33:40I don't suppose you'd join me at my table.
33:42With pleasure.
33:45Buenas noches, Senora Arroyo.
33:47Glad to see the two of you aren't butting heads anymore.
33:50Thanks, Mike. Quite the opposite, in fact.
33:52Mmm, un poquito de...
33:54I have to admit, I scoured the papers for every upcoming automobile race
33:56and found there's a Roscoe Champions of Ethnic Saturday afternoon
33:59at the Bertette Speedway in Devereaux City.
34:01I'll be there.
34:03I don't suppose you'd mind if I invited a certain special lady friend of mine
34:07who I think might enjoy it, too.
34:08Ladies are always welcome.
34:12Excellent.
34:13Because you are about to meet her.
34:17Edie, I would love to introduce you to my brilliant, talented new friend...
34:21Fernando.
34:22Well, you two already know each other.
34:25Indeed.
34:27You have excellent taste in ladies, my friend.
34:30Uh, Fernando worked on my uncle Ernie's ranch
34:33the summer that I lived there before law school.
34:37The summer that you met your fiancé?
34:41Ex-fiancé.
34:44Fernando looks at him, and Lucas raises his eyebrows.
34:47Ah.
34:48Back at the jail, Georgie smiles at Bill and leaves.
34:52Elizabeth and Nathan.
34:54So, did we just, uh, check in tomorrow?
34:58Of course.
35:00Good night.
35:02Good night.
35:03Elizabeth leaves the jail.
35:08So, Christopher, what can we do for you?
35:14I know what started the wildfire.
35:19And it wasn't those boys.
35:23Later in the jail with Christopher.
35:25The morning after the fire started, I was called into this meeting with my, uh,
35:31my boss, Shelby Whitaker and Patrick McDougal.
35:33This Pioneer Electric chief technician.
35:35They wanted me to go and retrieve what was left of this...
35:39this transformer box.
35:41In that spot you showed my dad a few days ago.
35:43Whoa, wait. He told you about that?
35:47You helped me after you...
35:49on these...
35:52in the...
35:53trunk of my car.
35:55He hands the two concrete chunks to Bill.
35:57Guess I got a little sloppy and left some behind.
36:02So the transformer...
36:06started the fire.
36:08Mr. Whitaker knew it, Mr. McDougal knew it, they talked about it.
36:12Well, wait a minute.
36:12This map that your company provided,
36:14it shows that that transform is at least two miles away from that spot.
36:19Hey, the new one.
36:21Well, that's dated two weeks before the fire.
36:24It's back dated.
36:26You mean fraudulent.
36:29I didn't mean for those boys to get in trouble.
36:33Where is the transformer right now?
36:36Mr. Whitaker wanted me to dump it in the Brookhaven River.
36:40But I couldn't bring myself to do that, so...
36:43I buried it in the foothills north of Buxton.
36:45Do you remember where?
36:46I think so.
36:47You need to show me where you buried it tomorrow morning.
36:51You're doing the right thing.
36:53Your old man would be proud of you.
36:55I can't...
36:56say I'd be here if...
36:58he hadn't figured it out.
37:03So I guess it's a good thing he did, right?
37:06After hours at the cafe,
37:08Minnie serves tea to Julia, Joseph, Cooper, and Toby.
37:11Remember, his nickname is Home Run.
37:13Unfortunately for him, his teammate's Babe Ruth.
37:15Who had 59 home runs last year.
37:18The Babe hit 59.
37:20And Home Run himself only hit 10.
37:22So embarrassing, right?
37:23We're just wondering, at what point is he gonna consider changing his nickname?
37:28The door opens, and they all stand up.
37:31Good evening, Nathan.
37:33Bill?
37:33Good evening.
37:35Mrs. Kavilenko, Toby.
37:37I'm glad you're both here as well.
37:38Is there any news?
37:40Good news.
37:43We just received information,
37:44all but confirming that the wildfire was not caused by the boys' campfire.
37:50So this means...
37:51Toby, Cooper,
37:54you're no longer under investigation.
37:57So it's over.
38:00It's over.
38:02Praise be!
38:03Thank you!
38:05They all hug, and Nathan shakes Joseph's hand.
38:09At home, Elizabeth shares a bowl of lemon curd with Rosemary.
38:13So, after telling LJ he was funny for asking,
38:17he just started sputtering.
38:18If he was an airplane, he would have fallen out of the sky.
38:21Oh, my.
38:22Well, LJ did put him on the spot.
38:24Even if he didn't mean to.
38:25Exactly.
38:26And poor Nathan.
38:27He must have felt so uncomfortable being asked in front of so many people.
38:31Yes, that must be it.
38:35What?
38:37You think maybe...
38:38What?
38:41Well, I just can't help wondering why he didn't just say yes.
38:47Rosemary, there must be plenty of reasons.
38:50Mm-hmm.
38:51This is the part where you agree and reassure me.
38:54I'm sorry.
38:55Don't ask me. I don't know.
38:56I don't even know what Lee's dreams mean.
38:58What do Lee's dreams have to do with any of this?
39:01The point is...
39:03I don't know what the point is.
39:04What is the point?
39:05Don't look at me. It's your point.
39:07Dreams.
39:09They could mean anything.
39:13As could Nathan sputtering.
39:15Point taken.
39:17But again, not very reassuring.
39:19Elizabeth, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.
39:22I say, more lemon curd than sleep.
39:26At this point, that's exactly what I need.
39:29But you like it, right? My lemon curd?
39:33Mm-hmm.
39:35Rosemary crinkles her nose and looks at the lemon curd.
39:39Oh, no.
39:40Under a bright moon, Gowan and Christopher sit outside and toast with brown liquor.
39:46They sit side by side and drink.
39:55Gowan looks at Christopher and Christopher bows his head.
40:02Gowan puts his arm around him, and they sit in silence.
40:13Gowan puts his arm around him, and they sit in silence.
40:13Elizabeth goes to her front door and opens it to Nathan.
40:19Nathan, hi.
40:20Okay.
40:22He hurries inside.
40:24I'm sorry about last night.
40:25I don't know what I was thinking.
40:27And then Christopher showed up, and by the time that was over, it was too late to come over here,
40:30which is all I really wanted to do.
40:31So I could explain to you that LJ's question, it's not like I've never thought about it before.
40:35But you know, honestly, we've never really talked about it.
40:38Yes, I was hesitant, and there was many reasons for that.
40:41One, of course, is that I was sitting down and everyone was staring at me.
40:44But none of those reasons were because of what I feel for you, or what I want with you, or
40:52what I dream of with you.
40:55He steps forward and takes both her hands.
41:00Look at my heartbeat.
41:02And look at my eyes.
41:05This is the only evidence you need.
41:09This is the truth.
41:13Can we just leave it there for now?
41:17Elizabeth smiles and nods her head.
41:23I'm a newswoman, Elizabeth.
41:25The deadline is my news.
41:26Sunday, February 15th.
41:28I'm meeting someone.
41:29It's part of the investigation.
41:30Don't tell me.
41:31I don't want to accidentally spill anything to Rosemary.
41:33If Toby and Cooper are no longer under investigation, it must mean the Mounties have a new lead.
41:38Cough twice if I'm right.
41:39They put it in paper?
41:40No wonder Whitaker was grilling meat.
41:41You'll get through this.
41:43You're doing the right thing here, Christopher.
41:45Even though this is hard.
41:47When Calls the Heart.
41:48New episode Sunday, February 15th at 8 on Hallmark Channel.
41:51Next.
