00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:01I need to get off that boat and back to being a full-time detective.
00:03And you need to stay out of prison.
00:05The best way we do that is to keep our heads down and do as we're told.
00:07Think you can handle that?
00:08Absolutely.
00:08This is our first official shift together.
00:10You think, oh no, walk on stage separately?
00:12Nice work, both of you.
00:13You hear that?
00:14You said both.
00:15If you couldn't be a cop, what would you be?
00:17Nothing.
00:17My dad raised me to be a cop.
00:19That's who I am.
00:31There you go.
00:32Team building day.
00:33I didn't get the memo.
00:34Did you get the memo?
00:35Me neither.
00:36You don't even work here.
00:37Why would you get the memo?
00:39Oh, and the crowd goes wild.
00:41Lucky catch.
00:43So, do I get a shirt?
00:44No.
00:44You see, Ellis here isn't exactly a team player.
00:47Oh, really?
00:47Well, he would be if he had a shirt.
00:49We have any more shirts?
00:49We don't have any more shirts.
00:50No, I still don't get how you're here.
00:52Don't think about it too much, okay?
00:54You'll strain yourself.
00:55Simmons, Yates, stop messing around.
00:57Go split the squad up into teams.
00:58And you two.
00:59Trust fall, escape room.
01:01You know, we could really use shirts.
01:03Not for where you're going.
01:04You know Stanford Township?
01:05A little town out in wine country outside the city?
01:08That's it.
01:08Their local butcher's gone missing.
01:10I'm sure they have their own force, right?
01:11An entire force of two.
01:12And they both just went on their honeymoon.
01:14Together?
01:14So sweet.
01:15I assured the commissioner we'd be happy to step in and help.
01:18So go help.
01:20If we find the butcher, do we get shirts?
01:22No.
01:22Make this any worse than it already is, okay?
01:27What are you doing?
01:28What?
01:28We're a team.
01:29We need building.
01:33Okay, what is your earliest childhood memory?
01:36I'm not playing this game.
01:38Do you consider yourself a masterpiece or a work in progress?
01:42Anybody who considers themselves a masterpiece is not somebody you want on your team.
01:45Fair enough.
01:46Okay, if you could have any superpower, what would it be?
01:50That's easy.
01:51The power to get out of this conversation.
01:54Captain avoidance, superpower, deflection.
01:57We need to focus on him, okay?
01:59Okay.
02:02Lucas Mays, 34, no priors, volunteers for the Elder League, Coach Little League.
02:07And he looks like a Hemsworth.
02:09Ellis, we have got to find this man.
02:11Oh, now you're focused.
02:12Well, what if he's wandering the woods?
02:14Lost with sunlight glistening off his cab.
02:16Okay, we're here.
02:22There's something about these small towns, you know?
02:25It's like a Norman Rockwell painting.
02:27Have you ever looked at those paintings?
02:29Decidedly creepy.
02:42Thor lives in a trailer?
02:44Did me?
02:44It's not just a trailer.
02:45It's a classic silver bullet.
02:47First, classic lack of commitment?
02:49Any guy who lives in a house on wheels is usually looking for a quick exit.
02:52Lucas Mays?
02:59Police.
02:59Anybody home?
03:30Looks like things just went from Norman Rockwell to Norman Bates.
03:33Cheers.
03:38Thanks, sir.
05:38Everybody, this is now a police investigation.
05:40I'm going to need you to clear out, okay?
05:41Everybody move.
05:42Let's go.
06:13All right, you filed the missing persons report?
06:18I'm going to need you to know.
06:25I'm going to need you to know.
06:35I'm going to need you to know.
06:37A van and a list of all the deliveries that Lucas made on his last day, all right?
06:41You got it, officer.
06:44Can I be honest?
06:45Purple is step you.
06:47You're too sweet.
06:48Are you in town for our wine fest?
06:51That's one of the reasons.
06:53That's one of the reasons.
06:53I don't mean to snoop, but that book saved my life when my ex ran out on me.
06:59Yeah.
06:59Um, the heart chakra affirmations are helping, but if I'm honest, it's my fault.
07:06I never learn.
07:07Listen, I don't usually tell people this, but I can read auras.
07:13And yours is like this brilliant pink.
07:16And I don't know, is it like an indigo?
07:19Really?
07:20Yes.
07:21You're loving, caring, empathetic.
07:22You're the total package.
07:24You're not the problem.
07:25It's them.
07:26Wow.
07:26Uh, thank you.
07:28Can I ask you a question?
07:30Your hunky butcher is burning up the socials.
07:34I hear he's gone AWOL.
07:35What?
07:36I have no idea.
07:38Weird, right?
07:39Do you know him?
07:40Yeah, everybody knows everybody around here.
07:43But are you sure he's missing?
07:44I made a special trip for his insta-famous sausage rolls.
07:48They are delicious.
07:50But if you will excuse me, I have a ton of work to do.
07:54Feel free to help yourself to a brochure.
08:12Hey.
08:13Grape lady was definitely sleeping with Lucas.
08:15Lucas, but I don't think it ended well.
08:17She told you that?
08:18She didn't have to.
08:19She's realigning her heart chakras.
08:22And every time she talked about him, she played with her hair.
08:24Textbook tell.
08:25Lucas's van's missing, too.
08:27I just put out a bolo.
08:27And I got a list of all of Lucas's deliveries the day he disappeared.
08:31His last stop was at a restaurant named Trilici at the local winery.
08:34Shut up.
08:35Check out this graphic.
08:37It has the same stick pictures in the background.
08:40Just like the ones we found on Lucas's trailer.
08:41Look at us.
08:42Two investigators coming to the same conclusion.
08:45Two minds thinking it's one.
08:46Otherwise known as...
08:48Coincidence.
08:49Teamwork.
08:50Synchronicity.
08:51Kismet?
09:05You hear about Lucas?
09:06What makes you say that?
09:07It's a small town.
09:09News travels fast.
09:11No.
09:12I said Julianne.
09:13A baby with a chainsaw could have done better than this.
09:15Start over.
09:16Now.
09:19The day Lucas disappeared, your restaurant was his last stop.
09:22Well, you're more than welcome to look around.
09:24But unless he's in the walk-in fridge, you're not concerned he's missing.
09:27He's a grown man.
09:28I'm not his keeper.
09:29Anybody who might have had it in for Lucas?
09:31Everyone loves Lucas.
09:33Everyone.
09:35We saw some stick figures that were very similar to these in Lucas's trailer.
09:39Oh, it's just local superstition.
09:41The totems represent the harvest blessing.
09:43It's total nonsense, but, you know, the tourists eat it up.
09:46Siobhan.
09:47Siobhan.
09:48What in the world are you thinking?
09:49We will talk about this later.
09:50I am prepping the lunch rush.
09:51No, we'll talk now.
09:53You turn the restaurant vegetarian without consulting me?
09:55I've gone off meat.
09:56But what even is celiac, carpaccio, and kohlrabi sorbet?
10:00It's celeriac and kohlrabi.
10:01They're vegetables.
10:02Keep up.
10:03What kind of wine am I supposed to fare with that?
10:04I don't know, Harlan.
10:05Okay?
10:06But the regular money back, or you no longer have a job.
10:08Carpaccio?
10:10You are?
10:11Harlan Stanford.
10:11Like the town?
10:12Yes.
10:13My grandfather founded the town, and my father founded the winery.
10:15We're investigating the disappearance of Lucas Mays.
10:18When was the last time you saw him?
10:19A week or so ago, but the chef deals with all the food deliveries, so you should ask
10:23her while she still has a job.
10:29You don't really think he'd fire you, do you?
10:32You know, in high school, Harlan was a rich and tied a little prick.
10:35And that hasn't changed.
10:37So when did you switch to vegetarian?
10:39A couple days ago?
10:40So right after Lucas' last delivery.
10:42Yeah.
10:42I told him that I was canceling our account.
10:44How did he react to that?
10:45He wasn't thrilled.
10:47We are all eating too much meat.
10:49Meat?
10:50Meat?
10:50Meat!
10:51It couldn't go on forever.
10:53I mean, it had to stop.
10:57Idiot!
11:00Thanks for your time.
11:06Go Lucas.
11:07First Mona, then the hot chef in town?
11:09Yeah, it's definitely a history there.
11:11I mean, you saw the way she was punching that dough every time she talked about him.
11:14I think that Lucas was playing hide the kielbasa with Siobhan.
11:18Not anymore.
11:19Hey, look.
11:21This bottle from 1922 sold to a collector for 50 grand.
11:25Don't get any ideas.
11:26When my father first started this winery, it was on a humble, three acres, small store.
11:33But thanks to the support of this incredible community, and maybe a little business brilliance
11:38on my behalf.
11:39Oh, it's all right.
11:40The Stanford Winery can proudly say we have over 100 acres of vines, an award-winning
11:46restaurant, and are currently being sold across North America.
11:51What's more, today, I'm excited to announce our own recently discovered vintage wine, unseen
11:58by human eyes for almost 100 years.
12:02And now, you'll please, excuse me, enjoy.
12:06I would like you to remember, we sell by the case and drink up.
12:10Pam?
12:11Pam!
12:13Did you not put these up here?
12:14Wow.
12:15Small town, big drama.
12:23Have you seen my wolf?
12:25Her name's Tala.
12:26She's a gray timber wolf.
12:28Um, somehow she got loose.
12:30Pam!
12:30Pam!
12:31Hi, how are you doing?
12:32You're scaring the clientele.
12:34You can't tape these up.
12:35It's private property.
12:37Hey, is there a problem here?
12:39Yes, this woman is trespassing.
12:40Please arrest her.
12:41Shut it, Harlan.
12:42I run the wolf rescue next door.
12:44And one of your wolves is missing?
12:45She's not just missing.
12:46She vanished.
12:48I can't understand how.
12:49Look, just because you can't control your animals is no reason to scare my clientele.
12:53You know how important Weinfest is to this town.
12:55So if I do see your damn wolf, I'm going to-
12:57What the heck was that?
12:59Bird cannon.
13:00They're shooting birds out of a cannon?
13:02Is that like a small town thing?
13:03No, it's a noisemaker to keep the birds away from the graves.
13:07Usually goes off a couple times a day.
13:09Well, how come it isn't scaring off those birds?
13:13Red-tailed hawks?
13:14They're probably circling prey.
13:16Tala.
13:19Does it just file me?
13:24Anyone else getting creepy Red Riding Hood vibes?
13:27Wolves don't usually attack unless provoked and carrying birds.
13:31They wouldn't fly that close to the wolves.
13:33They must have found something big.
13:34Wow.
13:35Your Discovery Channel subscription is really paying off.
13:38I like to leave the TV out for the cat.
13:40You know, he likes those animal documentaries.
13:42I'm sure Mark really appreciates it.
13:49Stay back.
13:51Hold on a second.
13:52What is it?
13:59No!
14:15There's no way my wolves did this.
14:18They know Lucas.
14:20He was a kind, wonderful...
14:22I can't believe...
14:24We'll find whoever did this.
14:26You go back to the house.
14:28We'll join you in a minute.
14:34You can't say that.
14:35Say what?
14:36I promised we're gonna catch the bad guys.
14:37You can't say that.
14:38Someone she knows was gruesomely mauled.
14:40What was I supposed to say?
14:41Cops can't make guarantees like that, Max.
14:43Plus, Pam could be the murderer for all we know.
14:45Pam?
14:45No.
14:47What you looking at?
14:47Not much.
14:48It's open for some footprints, but not in this grass.
14:51There's hardly any blood either.
14:52How does someone get ripped to shreds and not bleed?
14:54When someone's killed, they only keep bleeding so long as their heart keeps falling.
14:57So Lucas was dead by the time the wolves got to him.
15:00Which means this missing persons case just became a murder.
15:03And wine festers are headed to a town where a killer and a wolf is on the loose.
15:08Exactly.
15:08So we need to act fast.
15:09I think he was killed somewhere else in the dump tier.
15:12Ew.
15:12Do you think the murderers were hoping the wolves would finish off their dirty work?
15:15Maybe, but it doesn't make any sense.
15:17There's high fencing all around the property.
15:19So how did Lucas's body appear and a wolf disappear all from within a secure facility?
15:26Unless...
15:26What?
15:27Lucas was the wolf.
15:30Okay.
15:30You're not helping.
15:35All my wolves are chipped so I can track them.
15:38And they're all accounted for except for...
15:39Tala.
15:40Her tracker's disappearing and reappearing constantly.
15:44How's that possible?
15:45I've walked the grounds.
15:46There's no gap in the fencing.
15:47The gates are secure.
15:49One minute she was there, the next, gone.
15:51Have you known Lucas for long?
15:53We went to high school together.
15:55We didn't really travel in the same circles.
15:58He was handsome.
16:01Star jock.
16:02Prom king.
16:03Let me guess.
16:04You were the shy, nerdy kid who would rather hang out with animals over people.
16:08Does it still show?
16:10You very well.
16:10Talk to me about after graduation.
16:12I left town for college, studied zoology, and became fascinated with wolves.
16:19Last year I inherited this land and decided to move back and open the sanctuary.
16:23And you said your wolves were familiar with Lucas?
16:26They knew him?
16:26He made deliveries a couple times a week, so they got to know the sound of his van.
16:31He'd always drop the meat off here with me.
16:33He never went out into the property.
16:36Certainly not by himself.
16:37It's just not fair.
16:39Lucas was one of the good guys, and they are few and far between.
16:43When was the last time you saw him?
16:44The day he disappeared.
16:46He swung by with my delivery, but when he heard that Tala was missing, he said he would help find
16:52her.
16:54That's the wolf tracker.
16:59Let me guess, you think Pam was sleeping with Lucas too?
17:01There was definitely something somewhere in there.
17:20She's back.
17:22Tala's back.
17:23Where?
17:24Outside the sanctuary.
17:26Tala!
17:27Is it where wolf enters now?
17:29I just need to confirm her story.
17:32She disappeared again.
17:33I don't understand.
17:34She was heading in this direction, right?
17:39That's Lucas' van.
17:41Do you smell that?
17:42Yeah, it's hard not to.
17:53Tiny hearts?
17:55Chicken hearts.
17:56Catching onto a theme here.
17:57But who would buy a box of chicken hearts?
18:00Somebody named Peter Milford at 435 West Valley Lane.
18:04That guy's so into hearts, maybe he's the one that put the Miller Cousins trailer.
18:08I used the hearts in my dissection class.
18:11Makes him glad I was homeschooled.
18:13How well did you know Lucas Mays?
18:15We grew up here.
18:17Went to the school together.
18:18Class of 2009.
18:21I couldn't believe it when I heard about his murder.
18:23Who said it was a murder?
18:24Oh.
18:25Well, everybody was talking about the body.
18:27Right.
18:27Small town.
18:28I just assumed that it was, you know...
18:31You want to open up a window?
18:31You're just looking a little hot.
18:33I'm fine.
18:33But I do have a parent-teacher meeting I should get to, so...
18:36Right.
18:37Well, we won't take up too much more of your time.
18:38Can you think of anyone who'd want to harm Lucas?
18:40No.
18:41I mean, when I heard the body was found on Pam's land, I...
18:44Well, you don't think she...
18:46Do you?
18:47What?
18:48No.
18:48We were all kids together.
18:50Pam was a bit of a loner back in school.
18:52We didn't really hang out much.
18:54But I know she tutored Lucas in math.
18:56Um, if you'll excuse me, I really should get to that meeting.
18:59You can see yourselves out.
19:00Sure.
19:01Thanks for your time.
19:04Call me crazy.
19:06You say that like it's supposed to be a leap of logic.
19:08You saw the way he was cleaning his glasses every time we talked about Lucas.
19:11Maybe he's just nervous because he's the one who killed him.
19:13Or maybe he was hiding another secret.
19:15Such as?
19:16Mona from the Welcome Center, Siobhan, the winery chef, and Peter,
19:20a hunky science school teacher.
19:21I think they were all getting a piece of grade A Lucas.
19:23I mean, look at them all here rocking those hot Y2K looks.
19:27All except for Pam, who's clearly marching to the beat of her own drum.
19:31I don't trust him.
19:33Come on, grab the book.
19:35Let's go.
19:40Parent-teacher meeting.
19:42You really buy that?
19:42Nope.
19:44His hand was shaking too much.
19:46What the?
19:49Someone broke into my truck.
19:52My bag is missing.
19:53And my shawl and my hat.
19:55So is my uniform.
19:57Hey, that's Peter.
20:05Someone lost his parent-teacher meeting as a mobile one.
20:08I think we got ghosted.
20:18You going to pull him over?
20:19No.
20:20I want to see where he's going.
20:22I wonder where you were like in high school.
20:25Quarterback, unexpected drama club star.
20:27You just keep on poking the bear, don't you?
20:29It's either that or we play high spy.
20:31I was a regular kid, Max.
20:33Average grades.
20:34Nothing special.
20:35Boring.
20:35Yeah, boring.
20:36Exactly.
20:37And you?
20:38I didn't go to school.
20:39Never?
20:40We were always on the move.
20:41Paris, Lisbon, Barcelona, Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
20:46That was a tough year.
20:47So you grew up on the run, huh?
20:49We weren't running from anybody.
20:51We moved because we wanted to.
20:53New languages, cultures.
20:55How many kids get that chance?
20:58I learned more than I ever would have in school.
21:00Like how to pick a lock in seven languages?
21:03Maybe.
21:04Maybe.
21:30Where's he going?
21:31Where's he going?
21:46Looks like he ditched his car.
22:13Are we really going to be one of those couples who get out of their car on a deserted country
22:16road in the night and chase the chicken heart freak into the woods?
22:19Here, take this.
22:21Why, yes, Max.
22:22Yes, we are.
22:24Okay, perfect.
22:25What's next?
22:26Going down into a dark basement to check on the fuse box?
22:29What?
22:29I'm ignoring that creepy doll with the eyes that follow you.
22:32Shh.
22:34Listen.
22:37What's that?
22:38You hear that?
22:40It's chanting.
22:41Yes, that's definitely chanting.
22:43And this is me.
22:43Definitely ladies.
22:44Wait.
22:44Come on.
22:45Look, there's smoke up ahead.
22:47I know what they say.
22:48There's smoke.
22:49There's...
22:51Original snickering ice.
22:52Wait a minute.
22:53Those...
22:54Those are our clothes.
22:55It's us.
22:57They're burning us.
23:03Seal the truth of our dark deep.
23:05Let the crying ice be us.
23:07Seal the truth of our dark deep.
23:09Let the crying ice be us.
23:11Seal the truth of our dark deep.
23:13Let the crying ice be.
23:22we uh we did it oh my god i'm so sorry are you saying that the three of you killed
23:28lucas mays
23:29and then dragged his body into the wolf rescue what we were all in love with them so when you
23:33found out he was sleeping with other people you all decided to kill him no no we all knew but
23:38you
23:38all knew that you were all sleeping with him yeah it's not the 90s ethical non-monogamy is the norm
23:43now maybe i do like this town but then a few days ago things changed out of the blue he
23:49told us he
23:49couldn't be with us anymore he said he'd met someone someone he loved someone he wanted to
23:55be monogamous with and he wouldn't tell us who only that being with any of us would betray his feelings
24:00for them we never meant to hurt lucas we we never ever would i i was happy that he found
24:08that kind
24:08of love but you wanted it for yourself yes but love is wanting what's best for someone

24:30from our hearts
24:31not to hurt him so the three of you set up that altar in lucas's trailer is that right
24:35three hearts for the ones that he shattered but then he went missing and when you found his body
24:40we knew our spell it backfired we didn't banish lucas from our hearts we banished him from the face of
24:47the earth all right so this spell he performed in the woods why did you need to steal our clothes

27:50Thanks.
27:51Say hi to Sam for me, okay?
28:18What's wrong, baby girl?
28:20Nothing.
28:20I'm fine.
28:22Oh, come on.
28:23Talk to me.
28:24It's okay.
28:24I'm just tired.
28:26Don't worry.
28:27I always worry.
28:28You never worry.
28:29You're worry-free.
28:31Okay, I'm giving away a father's secret here.
28:34You said you were fine.
28:36That's your tell for not okay.
28:38Now, Tish, just pretend we're back on the Cote d'Azur and you're crying about little Francois
28:43and how he broke your heart.
28:44He was so cute.
28:45From all ears.
28:50There's someone at the door.
28:51I got 15 more minutes.
28:52I'll be fine.
28:53I gotta go.
28:54I love you.
28:55I love you.
29:05New mansion.
29:06Uh-huh.
29:07Variety is the space of life.
29:10May I come in?
29:11Sure.
29:12Wait, wait.
29:14I'm assuming this gesture is your unspoken apology or am I totally off base and you just came
29:19here to snap me again?
29:20No.
29:21No, I'm not totally off base or no, this isn't your unspoken apology.
29:25Please stop talking.
29:26The first one.
29:28I'm sorry I snapped at you.
29:29All right?
29:30Apology accepted.
29:32You hungry?
29:33I could eat.
29:39So, I was looking through Lucas's belongings and you...
29:43My God, that's amazing.
29:45I came up with a recipe a few years ago.
29:47I stuck into the VIP lounge at a Harry Styles concert.
29:50A few hours later, I was on a long-haul flight on his private jet cooking for the whole crew.
29:55You know a song, Adore You?
29:56It was written about this very girl cheese.
30:01Look, I'm sorry.
30:03You were right.
30:05I know you have a lot of history with those guys and a lot of stuff going on inside that
30:09I don't know about and you don't have to help me about it.
30:12I'll just be more mindful the next time she's such a colossal jerk.
30:20Look at this.
30:23I found it in Lucas's belongings.
30:25I was carrying it around in his wallet.
30:36Lucas kept one half in his wallet.
30:39Why do you have the other half of this wishbone?
30:42It's hard to grow up in a small town.
30:45You get labeled early on and that's who you are and always will be.
30:50I went to school with Lucas since the first grade and I don't think we ever spoke until I was
30:55assigned to tutor him in senior year.
30:57I think I know where this is going.
31:00Of course I fell for him.
31:01He was kind, sweet, and so much smarter than he was ever given credit for.
31:09The night before I left for college, I found a love letter with one half of a wishbone that he'd
31:16left for me.
31:17It said that if I felt the same way he did, then I should meet him at midnight in the
31:24middle of Town Square.
31:25This is like the best Johnny Hughes movie ever.
31:27I went there and I waited for hours.
31:33And he never showed up.
31:35Scratch Dad's like the worst Johnny Hughes movie ever.
31:38When I moved back over a decade later, he showed up at my door and apologized.
31:44Said he got scared.
31:46Scared of what?
31:47Didn't think he was smart enough or good enough for me.
31:51I was leaving to do all these things and he was going to work in his dad's butcher shop.
31:56We started talking every time he came by.
32:00It was just like old times.
32:04We spent over a decade apart because we were scared to talk.
32:08If we'd just been honest with each other.
32:13Is that your wolf tracker?
32:16That's not possible.
32:18What?
32:18Tala's back in the sanctuary.
32:25She's here.
32:26What?
32:27How did she get back inside?
32:32Hi, baby girl.
32:37There's a tunnel.
32:40I've never seen that before.
32:42That's how Tala got in and out of the sanctuary.
32:45She was the cheater way through.
32:48That's how the murderer dragged in Lucas's body without getting caught.
32:51Please don't tell me where to lay inside.
32:54Well, we're going in.
33:13Creepy, drippy cave.
33:14Very apropos for murder, yes, but for once can a crime take place in a bakery?
33:20Where even are we?
33:21Where even are we?
33:21I guess.
33:22These are old rum running tunnels they used to smuggle booze in Prohibition.
33:27No signal.
33:28Hey, look at this.
33:30Animal prints.
33:32Wolf tracks.
33:34Tala.
33:35Hey, do you remember when Tala's signal kept disappearing?
33:37She was probably running in and out of these tunnels.
33:45Oh, darkness.
33:46So not my old friend.
33:50Hey, look.
33:53Wow.
33:57We must be under Harlan's Vineyard now.
34:01Bordeaux Grand Cru, 1922.
34:04This bottle is a real deal.
34:05Oh, yeah?
34:06Why can't you be so sure?
34:07Paper is the hardest thing to counterfeit.
34:10I don't think any of these have ever been used.
34:15Yeah, these are all clean.
34:18Oh, my Merlot.
34:20What?
34:21I think Harlan is filling these with boxed wine.
34:25A little cardboard dough, if you will.
34:27Corking it and selling it for 50 grand.
34:30That's exactly what he's doing.
34:31It's genius.
34:31No, it's fraud.
34:32Fine, fraudulent genius.
34:33Okay, so if Pam's wolf Tala found this tunnel, I bet Lucas did, too.
34:37And that's when he caught Harlan in the act.
34:38Why murder someone over a $50,000 bottle of wine?
34:40You mean a $50,000 counterfeit scheme?
34:42It's a federal crime.
34:44That's just for one bottle.
34:45He gets caught doing this?
34:46It's an end to that money train, not to mention it's a pretty serious jail time.
34:49Picture it.
34:50Harlan's a legacy kid who runs this town.
34:52Everything in it bears his name.
34:54One wrong move, and his name would be forever tainted.
34:57I mean, you get it.
34:57You're a legacy kid.
34:58No, I'm not.
34:59Your dad's a cop.
35:00You're a cop.
35:01I mean, isn't part of the reason you want your desk back to restore your family name?
35:06Okay, look.
35:07We have a theory, all right?
35:09But not a bullet, a crime scene, or anything that suggests Harlan saw Lucas the night of the murder.
35:12Okay, here's a thought.
35:13I get out of this creepy, gross, bad tunnel.
35:16Really?
35:16Let me finish, and then I'll go call for backup and keep an eye on Harlan.
35:20Well, I look for the bullet and anything that can tie Harlan to Lucas' murder.
35:23See?
35:24The team is built.
35:25We're like one machine.
35:27Like Rapinoe and Morgan.
35:28Who?
35:29Do you not watch women's soccer?
35:31Okay, look, just be careful.
35:32Any backup's at least an hour away.
35:33We got a big cheese.
35:38Gates, enough of the Sabrina jokes, okay?
35:40The moment's passed.
35:41We need backup, so floor it.
35:42And when I added a restaurant and elongated the cellar, I made a fascinating discovery.
35:48A Prohibition-era cache of vintage wine almost 100 years old.
35:53You know what that son of a bitch did?
35:54Harlan?
35:55What?
35:55He fired me.
35:56I'm so sorry.
35:58That's long overdue.
35:59I'm actually kind of relieved.
36:00When it comes down to it, I have given this place the best years of my life.
36:04And what did I get in return?
36:05Besides callus, back pain, and mild drinking problem.
36:08I'm sure.
36:09And I've always wanted to leave this small town and open my own shop.
36:12Because now I don't have an excuse.
36:14Good for you.
36:15You know what I think I'm going to call it?
36:17Siobhan's.
36:17That has a nice ring to it.
36:21Dammit, look.
36:22I gotta go.
36:23Text me for the grand opening.
36:24Okay?
36:25Do you know what Halloween is?
36:26I need to talk to him.
36:27He had to get something from the basement.
36:29Everyone, the wine tour will be starting in just a Prosecco.
36:33Like, just a second, but with Prosecco?
36:38I'm going to take a break.
36:45I'm going to take a break.
37:25Put your gun on the ground.
37:28Then kick it over.
37:30Slowly.
37:32That's it.
37:39What you doing?
37:41Just admiring your counterfeit operation.
37:43You got guests Lucas did, too, and that's when you killed him, right?
37:46I offered to cut him in, but the idiot had morals and wouldn't bite.
37:51He left me no choice.
37:53It's always a choice, Arlan.
37:54This isn't just about the money, is it?
37:56It's about what happens if this winery goes down.
37:59They built an empire here.
38:00Well, your daddy built an empire.
38:02Now you're about to lose it.
38:03A hit like that would be pretty devastating to your reputation.
38:06I'm the king of this city.
38:08People look up to me.
38:09For now.
38:10But your father was a true winemaker.
38:13He left you a legacy.
38:14You just turned this place into some tourist trap that sells cheap wine at a premium.
38:18You get caught with this counterfeit crap, you're done.
38:23That's never gonna happen.
38:26Even your gun's prohibition era.
38:28You sure that dusty old thing still shoots?
38:31Okay.
38:32Yeah.
38:33It definitely shoots.
38:35Look, if you shoot me with that gun, powder residue will match the wound on Lucas' body.
38:40Not to mention the bullet in the barrel.
38:42Well, I'll just have to make sure they never find you.
38:45Don't do anything stupid, all right?
38:47I got backup on the way.
38:48Come on.
38:49We both know there's no backup.
38:52All right.
38:53Right this way, folks.
38:54Watch your step, mind your neighbor, and check your attitudes at the door.
38:58And what do we have here?
39:00A recreation, no doubt, of a very special event that happened at this very winery.
39:07Okay, so hang back, people, and get your phones a-rolling.
39:12You're definitely not gonna want to miss this.
39:15The story of yore begins as such.
39:19The youngest member of the most prominent family struggles to keep the business afloat.
39:24And, spoiler alert, he sucks, so he fakes a buried treasure and makes a barrel of money.
39:31Until he's discovered by the local butcher, who's actually the town's most beloved son.
39:37Money usually gets him out of everything, but the butcher is a good, decent, hot, incorruptible man.
39:44Everything the loser's son is not, so the butcher has to die.
39:47Did you shut her up?
39:51Oh, believe me, I've tried.
39:55Harlan Stanford, you're under arrest for the murder of Lucas Mays.
39:58Turn around, put your hands by your back.
40:00Now!
40:09We went over Harlan's financials.
40:11Turns out his vineyards were growing mostly spoiled crops over the years.
40:14Sounds like he was up to his ears in debt.
40:15Exactly, which is why he started selling these so-called vintage bottles every few months, just to keep the place
40:20afloat.
40:20Turns out it was just bad luck that Lucas found him out.
40:23The butcher was genuinely a good, decent guy.
40:26Not many of those left.
40:27Nope, there aren't.
40:29I got a meeting out of my office.
40:34So, what do you want to do to celebrate?
40:36Toilet paper, Gates' house?
40:38I'd save it for yourselves.
40:40Both your careers are getting flushed down the drain.
40:42Oh, she helped me catch a murderer today.
40:43What'd you do?
40:44She solved today's wordle.
40:46Oh.
40:47You hungry?
40:48I'm buying.
40:50I got it in four tries.
40:51The word was foyer.
40:53Probably could get that if you tried.
40:54Couldn't solve that.
40:56Couldn't solve that.
40:57But, why don't you say it sooner?
40:59They're not even here anymore.
41:00I don't know.
41:00They turned the corner.
41:02You're gonna have my back have my back right away.
41:09It's not your grilled cheese, but it'll do.
41:13Nothing's like my grilled cheese.
41:15So, you said you moved around a lot growing up.
41:17It must have been hard to make friends.
41:19My parents are my friends.
41:21Okay, so, if you didn't go to school and you didn't have any friends, what were you doing while your
41:26parents were out, um...
41:27I was never alone.
41:28I played with Holly Golightly, John McClane, Sarah Connor.
41:32I sang with Mick and Keith.
41:35Salt and Pepper.
41:36I hang out with Dawson, Pacey, Joey.
41:39Until things got weird, there was always so much drama.
41:42Yeah, but those aren't real people.
41:43They were to me.
41:44Sounds lonely.
41:45Sorry to hear that.
41:46I had a wonderful childhood.
41:47My folks were really great people.
41:50Do you really not see it?
41:51See what?
41:52Thanks.
41:53Your parents were criminals.
41:54They put you in a position where they could have been taken from you at any minute.
41:57That wasn't a normal childhood.
41:59My parents loved me.
42:02They gave me everything I needed.
42:04Like what?
42:04They taught me to never punch down, never work a mark that wasn't deserved, and to always lend out my
42:10hand to anyone within reach.
42:12So don't tell me that my parents aren't good people.
42:16They taught me how to survive in a world where no one has your back unless they want something from
42:20you.
42:22We looked out for each other.
42:25We were a team.
42:33Well, I'm glad you're on mine today.
42:36Thanks for having my back.
42:40I got you.
42:45So, since we're, uh, temporarily teammates...
42:51That's a hard no.
42:52I'm not putting that on, ever.
42:54They're not giving us matching t-shirts.
42:55We gotta have our own swag.
42:57Just put it on once.
42:58I'll close my eyes.
42:58What?
42:59I'm not gonna put that on.
43:00Please!
43:01When did you even have time to do that?
43:03Partners in wine!
43:04Partners in crime.
43:05Kidding, right?
43:06No, I don't do hats.
43:07I don't like it.
43:07They're so cute!
43:08It was expensive!
43:09Well, then you wasted your money.
43:10Okay, just keep it.
43:11Yeah, it'll grow on you.
