00:00:13I'm stopping by the gazebo on my way home to put up the sign.
00:00:15Now, I know it's not in the city manager's job description, but you know how important this is to the
00:00:19mayor.
00:00:20Oh, one second, Teresa. I submitted the approval for your new awnings. They're gonna be beautiful.
00:00:24Okay, so the demolition crew is coming early Friday morning?
00:00:28Well, the groundbreaking is a week later.
00:00:30It's not like they're taking down the space needle. It's a gazebo. They'll have it done in a day.
00:00:36Who didn't confirm?
00:00:38No, I'll handle it.
00:00:39Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
00:00:42Jason! Hi, Sally Ferguson. I hear you have an RSVP to the groundbreaking.
00:00:48Now, I know the flower show is a big deal, but...
00:00:51Okay, if I can smooth things over with the garden club, can I count you in?
00:00:55Great, I'll call you back.
00:01:00Mary, hi, it's Allie Ferguson.
00:01:02Good, good. I can't wait to see your prize-winning azaleas.
00:01:06Listen, about the flower show. I was thinking we'd move your booth to the front this year.
00:01:20Hey, don't forget to stop by my office. I'll help you fill out those forms.
00:01:24Good morning, Allie.
00:01:26Good morning, Freddie. Good morning, Julia.
00:01:28Mm-hmm. Julia, we are going to get you the approvals to paint your store.
00:01:32We just need a little more time. You know how City Hall is.
00:01:35You work for City Hall.
00:01:36We've been here for 50 years.
00:01:37Houston's family treasure's been here for 50 years.
00:01:39Downtown used to be nice.
00:01:40Downtown used to be so vibrant and colorful, and...
00:01:44We're just trying to bring some of that back.
00:01:46But red tape.
00:01:47Yeah, stop it.
00:01:48But there's too much red tape.
00:01:50I agree.
00:01:51And I love that you want to make Springfield better.
00:01:53That's what the mayor and I want as well, starting with the new fountain.
00:01:56Huh.
00:01:56Seems like there's more red tape for paint than digging up the town square, if you ask me.
00:02:03Have a muffin.
00:02:06I baked them myself.
00:02:10But she's still giving me muffins. She can't be that mad at me.
00:02:13You don't know my grandmother at all, do you?
00:02:26No stone, no turn.
00:02:27And that's why I think I would make just a great addition to the CLB.
00:02:32What does community mean to you?
00:02:33What does community mean to me?
00:02:35I want to protect it.
00:02:37Make it safe.
00:02:38Ryan?
00:02:38Ready for your first day?
00:02:40Yes, ma'am.
00:02:41Oh, huh.
00:02:42That's gonna get old really fast, please.
00:02:44Just call me Beth.
00:02:46Sarge.
00:02:47Can we agree on Sarge?
00:02:48Yeah, I think I can do that.
00:02:52Baby steps.
00:02:55So is that the Seattle PD interview?
00:02:58Jerry over in traffic told me he'd look at it all the time.
00:03:02Uh, I'm just trying to learn from my mistakes, Sarge.
00:03:06Look, I know you're trying for Seattle PD again at some point.
00:03:09Well, actually I can't for at least another six months.
00:03:11Until then, I'm taking this job very seriously.
00:03:14Yes, I've heard.
00:03:15Serious is your default setting.
00:03:18Look, Ryan, you were on traffic for less than six months.
00:03:21They reassigned you downtown because it took ages to get simple tickets filed.
00:03:25They were filled with details that didn't even matter.
00:03:28It would have mattered if the paperwork was wrong.
00:03:31What we do here is community policing.
00:03:33This is not Seattle PD and it is not the Army.
00:03:36Now things are a bit more relaxed here and you need to relax with it.
00:03:42Did you really just make a note about needing to relax?
00:03:46In the city code book?
00:03:48How much of that have you memorized?
00:03:50Most of it.
00:03:51But now that I'm here, you won't have to look stuff up.
00:03:54You can just ask me.
00:03:56It's a joke, ma'am.
00:03:58Sergeant.
00:03:59Sarge.
00:04:00I'm gonna go get a cup of coffee in the diner.
00:04:03Isn't that coffee?
00:04:05Now this?
00:04:05No, this is terrible.
00:04:06But my brother-in-law owns a coffee shop down the way and so I get a coffee every day
00:04:10and then I have them replace it at the diner.
00:04:12It makes things easier at Thanksgiving.
00:04:15It's all about relationships.
00:04:17Hmm.
00:04:18You want anything?
00:04:19Uh, no, I'm good. Thank you.
00:04:21I'm gonna keep my eye on things out here.
00:04:31It's a dance studio, Wyatt. I need to play music.
00:04:33What do you got against music these days?
00:04:34Nothing. You know, I help the music program at the school.
00:04:36I just don't like it when it's played too loud on the other side of my wall.
00:04:39What do you want me to do?
00:04:40Hum so my students can dance?
00:04:42Ally, you're the city manager.
00:04:43There must be some ordinance she's breaking.
00:04:45It's a public nuisance.
00:04:46A nuisance?
00:04:47How about the exhaust fan from your kitchen that's making my whole studio smell like pancakes?
00:04:51Unless that's the city manager about that.
00:04:53Who doesn't like pancakes?
00:04:54All I said was good morning.
00:04:56See, she doesn't want to talk about it either, Wyatt.
00:04:58Okay, okay.
00:04:59I can help you navigate this through City Hall if you want, or we can settle it like good neighbors.
00:05:04City Hall seems the way to go.
00:05:05Yeah, I think that's the way to go.
00:05:06Yeah, there goes my Nobel Peace Prize.
00:05:09Uh, stop by my office, I'll help you fill out the parts.
00:05:11Wonderful.
00:05:12Gladly.
00:05:13Hey Sam, how's the team looking?
00:05:16Pretty good.
00:05:16I think we have a good shot at State.
00:05:18Oh, well, I'll be there cheering you on.
00:05:20Thanks, Ms. Ferguson.
00:05:29Excuse me, ma'am.
00:05:30You know you're supposed to use a crosswalk.
00:05:32Oh.
00:05:33There was no cars coming.
00:05:35Yeah, it's still jaywalking.
00:05:37Well, technically, yes.
00:05:39But, I mean, the crosswalk was on the opposite side of where I'm going, and this was just more efficient.
00:05:44I get that, but I'm still gonna have to write you a ticket.
00:05:47A ticket?
00:05:48Oh, no.
00:05:49Officer.
00:05:50Uh, Pruitt.
00:05:51Can I see your ID, please?
00:05:54Yeah.
00:05:55That's my, uh, city hall badge.
00:05:58I am the city manager.
00:06:00Allie Ferguson.
00:06:01Nice to meet you, Allie Ferguson.
00:06:03Welcome to Springville.
00:06:04It's a great town that I manage.
00:06:08I've been here for six months, but just got transferred downtown.
00:06:11Oh, that's great.
00:06:11Well, if you need any help getting the lay of the land, I'm your person.
00:06:15Or if you need restaurant recommendations.
00:06:17I appreciate that.
00:06:18I'm actually hoping there's a good high place nearby.
00:06:20Oh, yeah.
00:06:21Uh, Sabai.
00:06:22It's fantastic.
00:06:24Okay.
00:06:25I'll check that out.
00:06:26Yes.
00:06:26Tell Mrs. Anong I sent you.
00:06:28I will do that.
00:06:31Listen, uh, about that ticket.
00:06:34Yes.
00:06:36Could you sign here, please?
00:06:40Okay.
00:06:41You can pay by check, online or in person at city hall.
00:06:45Yeah, I know.
00:06:45It's two doors down from my office.
00:06:47Well, that's efficient.
00:06:49Okay.
00:06:50Have a good day.
00:06:51And again, thank you very much for the Thai recommendation.
00:06:58I've lived here my whole life.
00:07:01You never got a ticket?
00:07:27Good morning, Ali.
00:07:28Good morning.
00:07:30Uh, Theresa, do you know anything about that piano?
00:07:32What piano?
00:07:33The piano in the gazebo.
00:07:34There's a piano in the gazebo?
00:07:36Where'd it come from?
00:07:37That's what I'm asking you.
00:07:38Well, I didn't know there was a piano in the gazebo.
00:07:40Is there a concert or something we don't know about?
00:07:43Not that I know of, which may prove your point, actually.
00:07:46Why is there a piano in the gazebo?
00:07:49This is the question of the day.
00:07:50Parks and Recreation is your jurisdiction, so if you don't know about it, who would?
00:07:54Oh, you're the mayor. You know how city bureaucracy is.
00:07:57There's probably an application stuck in the machinery somewhere.
00:07:59You know the building of Fountain in the town square is a stipulation of the Van Wilkinson Family Foundation's grant.
00:08:06If we don't stick to our schedule, we can't build it by the end of the year, and we lose
00:08:09our funding.
00:08:10Do you really want to say goodbye to all our plans on revitalizing downtown?
00:08:15We worked for over a year on securing that grant. I won't let anything jeopardize it, I promise.
00:08:21I do think a piano in the gazebo could be kind of fun.
00:08:24Not when the demolition crew comes tomorrow to tear it down.
00:08:27We'll have to have it removed by then.
00:08:29Um, okay, we need to call the facilities.
00:08:31Donnie and engineering will have to make sure it's removed safely.
00:08:35What else? I guess we need to file a police report.
00:08:38Why?
00:08:39There's a random piano in the town square. What if it's stolen?
00:08:43Somebody stole a piano and left it in the gazebo? Why?
00:08:46Maybe they couldn't fit it into the trunk of their getaway car.
00:08:50Do you want to divide and conquer?
00:08:52Nah, I'll have all this done and that piano gone by lunch.
00:08:55Okay.
00:10:04I'm sorry, officer.
00:10:05I was just...
00:10:06No, no, no, no.
00:10:07It's okay.
00:10:10Is it okay if I go?
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:12Yeah, go for it.
00:10:14By the way, you're really good.
00:10:18Just please don't tell anyone, okay?
00:10:34I hate to bother you with this, but I've been working on this mysterious piano in the gazebo.
00:10:38The city didn't put it there?
00:10:39No, and we can't figure out who did.
00:10:41How can I help?
00:10:42Well, before I haul it away, I need a police report in case it's stolen.
00:10:45We can do that.
00:10:47In fact, I know the perfect person for the job.
00:10:51Allie, meet Officer Pruitt.
00:10:57We've met.
00:11:01I thought I was supposed to be here.
00:11:03When was the first time you saw the piano?
00:11:06Around nine.
00:11:08If you need a more precise time, it was about five minutes after you gave me a jaywalking ticket.
00:11:17I'll cross-check that.
00:11:19Can you think of anyone who might have put it here?
00:11:21Look, I just need a quick report.
00:11:24It's more of a formality.
00:11:25I can't finish a report without conducting an investigation, okay?
00:11:28There is a process.
00:11:29I appreciate process as much as the next person.
00:11:32However, one thing I learned working for the city is that a rigid process is the enemy of efficiency.
00:11:39It's more about the spirit of the law and working together to accomplish goals expeditiously.
00:11:47So, in other words, you like to cut corners, or at least not use them crossing the street.
00:11:53It's not cutting corners.
00:11:54It's about getting things done and making it to the finish line quickly.
00:11:58In that race with the tortoise, how'd that work out for the hare?
00:12:06All I'm saying is that you need to know what strings to pull and who to talk to.
00:12:10In this town, I do.
00:12:14Great.
00:12:14You can introduce me to whoever I need to talk to for the investigation.
00:12:17Is there a music store around here, or some place that might have a spare piano lying around?
00:12:22Yeah.
00:12:23Over on Bay Street.
00:12:25Great.
00:12:25Let's start there.
00:12:27Great.
00:12:29Something wrong?
00:12:30No.
00:12:31It's all good.
00:12:32Let's go.
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:36This way, big guy.
00:12:39Just canvassing.
00:12:44Hey, Dex.
00:12:46Allie.
00:12:47Hey.
00:12:48Hey.
00:12:48Oh.
00:12:50Did you get my text?
00:12:51Uh, yeah.
00:12:52Sorry.
00:12:53It's been a busy day.
00:12:54That's no worries.
00:12:54It was about the concert next month.
00:12:55You still want to go?
00:12:58As friends, I mean.
00:12:59I thought you had a gig.
00:13:00You got moved, so I am all freed up.
00:13:03Okay.
00:13:04Um, yeah.
00:13:05Yeah.
00:13:05Let's go.
00:13:06Anyway, Dex Holloway.
00:13:07This is Officer Pruitt.
00:13:08He has some questions for you.
00:13:10What can I help you with?
00:13:12We are here about a piano.
00:13:13Well, you've come to the right place.
00:13:15Uh, no, Dex.
00:13:15Someone left a piano in the gazebo in Town Square.
00:13:18Oh, that's really cool.
00:13:19Yeah, except it's right where we're breaking ground for the new fountain, so we need to
00:13:23find out who put it there.
00:13:24Do you recognize this?
00:13:26I don't think so.
00:13:27So you didn't put it there?
00:13:29No.
00:13:29It wasn't me.
00:13:30Okay.
00:13:30Great.
00:13:31Thanks, Dex.
00:13:32Well, let me know if I can help with anything else.
00:13:34Text me?
00:13:37Yeah, sure.
00:13:46He seemed nice.
00:13:48Yeah, he's nice.
00:13:51Huh.
00:13:53And?
00:13:57And we dated, off and on.
00:13:59Currently off.
00:14:00Is that obvious?
00:14:02Look, it may be my first day as a community police officer, but, uh, it wasn't very hard
00:14:07to figure out.
00:14:09Well, I believe him when he says he didn't put the piano there.
00:14:12Okay, so who do we interview next?
00:14:15How many people do we have to talk to?
00:14:17More than one, less than the entire town.
00:14:19Okay, well, I-I-I kind of need this done today.
00:14:22Then let's get going.
00:14:27Okay, well, thank you very much, and let me know if you think of anything.
00:14:30Bye-bye.
00:14:31Okay, so all the school's pianos are accounted for, so it wasn't a senior class prank.
00:14:34I didn't think so.
00:14:36It's not the kind of shenanigans kids get up to.
00:14:38Shenanigans?
00:14:39What is this, a musical?
00:14:41Your senior class didn't do a prank?
00:14:43We did not leave a piano in a gazebo.
00:14:46It's a Chevy and a school gym.
00:14:49I'm surprised.
00:14:51Bye.
00:14:51You don't strike me as the type who breaks the rules, and I got a jaywalking ticket to
00:14:55prove it.
00:14:57Youthful rebellion.
00:14:58Well, I learned pretty fast that the Army doesn't like shenanigans either.
00:15:02You were in the Army?
00:15:04Thank you for your service.
00:15:06It was an honor.
00:15:08Well, we've talked to about a dozen people, and nobody knows where that piano came from.
00:15:13Can we wrap this up and finish the report now?
00:15:15Yeah, I think we've done our due diligence.
00:15:17Great.
00:15:17I've got a crew waiting at the gazebo to haul the piano away.
00:15:21Did you arrange that before we finished the investigation?
00:15:23Just being efficient.
00:15:37And one, two, three, stretch.
00:15:40Lift that leg.
00:15:42Good.
00:15:43Very nice, everyone.
00:15:45Take five.
00:15:48Allie, I love this piano.
00:15:50Was this your idea?
00:15:51No.
00:15:52We're here to take it away, actually.
00:15:54Really?
00:15:54But the kids love it.
00:15:56I even got a new student because of it.
00:15:57Oh, really?
00:15:58She saw us practicing and convinced her mom to let her sign up.
00:16:01I should have thought of this ages ago.
00:16:03I should have thought of it.
00:16:06Did you have something to do with this?
00:16:08No, I just, I mean, it's a great idea.
00:16:11Well, great or not, it has to go.
00:16:13Sorry.
00:16:14Okay, kids.
00:16:16Back to the studio.
00:16:17Aw.
00:16:19Really is a shame.
00:16:22Sorry.
00:16:23Okay, guys.
00:16:25Take it away.
00:16:27Well, it wasn't as fast as this hair would have liked to make it to the finish line, but
00:16:31I appreciate the tortoise's help.
00:16:34Anytime.
00:16:35Does this mean we can say, K's closed?
00:16:39If it makes you happy, yeah.
00:16:43Um...
00:16:46I'll see you around.
00:16:47Sure.
00:16:48See you around.
00:17:02Um, the mayor wants to make sure the site is cleared before we...
00:17:08I thought they moved the piano.
00:17:10They did.
00:17:11Well, they did a terrible job.
00:17:13Who is doing this?
00:17:15Does this mean we have to start the whole process over again?
00:17:17The paperwork?
00:17:18The police?
00:17:19Well, there's the crew coming to tear down the gazebo.
00:17:22I don't want to lose another whole day while the officer by the book does another investigation.
00:17:25You mean him?
00:17:30Okay.
00:17:30You know what?
00:17:33Stall him.
00:17:34Stall him?
00:17:34Yeah, go, go.
00:17:35How?
00:17:35Wait, I don't know.
00:17:36Just leave.
00:17:36Say something.
00:17:37Say that your cat is stuck in a tree.
00:17:39Hey, hey, guys.
00:17:41So, slight change of plan.
00:17:43Who wants to move a piano?
00:17:45All right, well, thank you very much.
00:17:46Have a great day.
00:17:47Hey, hi.
00:17:48I'm Teresa.
00:17:50I work with Allie.
00:17:51Hi.
00:17:51How are you?
00:17:52I'm great.
00:17:52I'm Ryan Prewitt.
00:17:53Ryan.
00:17:54So nice to meet you.
00:17:56So, what do you do?
00:17:59I'm a police officer.
00:18:02Right.
00:18:03Hence, the uniform.
00:18:05Uh-huh.
00:18:05Yeah.
00:18:06Yeah, yeah.
00:18:07That tracks.
00:18:08Uniform.
00:18:08Okay, it was very nice to meet you.
00:18:10I have to get going.
00:18:10Wait.
00:18:12I actually need a police officer.
00:18:15Right.
00:18:16I need to report a crime.
00:18:17You do?
00:18:18Mm-hmm.
00:18:18What kind of crime?
00:18:20How about you give me a few options,
00:18:22and I'll let you know if you get it right.
00:18:25I know your work order doesn't cover moving a piano,
00:18:28but since you're here and it needs to get done,
00:18:30maybe you can just do both?
00:18:32I mean, what's the crime?
00:18:34Um, I could name a few.
00:18:37I'm sorry.
00:18:42I'm sorry.
00:18:47How did this even get back here?
00:18:49Maybe it's a player piano, you know?
00:18:51They do things by themselves.
00:18:53If you ever take the detective's exam,
00:18:55I hope you leave those kinds of theories off the essay portion.
00:18:59Where did your moving crew put it?
00:19:01On the loading dock behind City Hall until we can figure out what to do with it.
00:19:04Huh.
00:19:05Huh?
00:19:05What, huh?
00:19:06We have to reopen the investigation.
00:19:08What?
00:19:09No.
00:19:10I already have all the necessary approvals to move this piano.
00:19:13You signed off on it.
00:19:14Why can't we just do it again?
00:19:16Because this is a different piano.
00:19:20Are you sure?
00:19:21Same style, different brand.
00:19:23The other one had a scratch on the top.
00:19:24Well, okay, fine, fine.
00:19:26Do an investigation.
00:19:27But can we at least still move this piano?
00:19:29I mean, the construction crew are here to tear down the gazebo.
00:19:32What are they going to do?
00:19:40Yeah, I think they'll find a way to keep themselves amused.
00:19:43Besides, the gazebo is technically a crime scene.
00:19:46It is not a crime.
00:19:48Or it's barely one.
00:19:50I mean, you said yourself, it's probably just a harmless break.
00:19:53High school, if not college kids.
00:19:55College kids don't get up to these types of shenanigans,
00:19:59and they certainly don't have an abundance of pianos lying around.
00:20:02I can't think of who would stand to benefit from this.
00:20:08Oh, when the sets go marching in
00:20:13Oh, when the sets go marching in
00:20:18Oh, I want to be in that number
00:20:23When the sets go marching in
00:20:29Oh, when the sets go marching in
00:20:42People seem to really like this.
00:20:45Yeah, well, like it or not,
00:20:47unless we can put a fountain on top of it,
00:20:49it has to go.
00:20:51Do we really need a new police report?
00:20:54Yeah, I'm afraid so.
00:20:56I don't suppose we can just copy the last one.
00:20:59Come on, aren't you just the least bit curious about who's doing this?
00:21:03It's a real life mystery.
00:21:05Professor Plum in the ballroom with a candlestick?
00:21:07Now we're talking.
00:21:10Okay, fine.
00:21:13I thought the crew needed a little entertainment while we wait.
00:21:16That was great.
00:21:18How many songs do you know?
00:21:19We need to postpone the demolition until tomorrow
00:21:22until we figure out who's leaving these pianos here.
00:21:25Tomorrow's Saturday and now I'm out of town.
00:21:27I could move some things around and do it Tuesday.
00:21:30Can you move more things around and do it Monday?
00:21:33I'll throw in tickets to the county fair.
00:21:35You drive a hard bargain.
00:21:37All right.
00:21:38Now, since you don't have anything better to do...
00:21:41Teresa, I'll see you at the office.
00:21:44We've got a few days to figure this out.
00:21:47We?
00:21:48When did this become a we?
00:21:50If this isn't solved by the time they return on Monday,
00:21:52you're going to end up paying him to put on another concert.
00:21:55Oh, I wonder if he takes requests.
00:21:58Okay, well, fine.
00:22:00But we do this fast, right?
00:22:02Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:22:03Where'd you next?
00:22:05I don't know.
00:22:05I mean, we've already talked to everyone I can think of.
00:22:07All right, let's talk to him again.
00:22:09Who's our main suspect?
00:22:11Monica Murphy?
00:22:12She did say she got a new student because of the piano
00:22:15and that she should have thought of it.
00:22:17So let's start there.
00:22:18I left around 8 o'clock last night.
00:22:20The piano wasn't there.
00:22:21I would have noticed.
00:22:22Your security camera only shows your front door, right?
00:22:25Yeah, you can't see the square.
00:22:26And you didn't see anyone else playing it?
00:22:29I thought I remember.
00:22:30Then there's Wyatt O'Connor.
00:22:32He's been complaining about Monica playing music next door.
00:22:35Maybe he put the piano there to get her out of the way.
00:22:37I also heard he supports the music program at the high school.
00:22:40Like I was saying, I arranged a bunch of instruments to be donated.
00:22:44The band has to be good if you're going to play the football games.
00:22:46Any pianos?
00:22:48Not too many pianos in the marching band,
00:22:50but the theater department has one, I think.
00:22:53Do you play?
00:22:54Me?
00:22:54No, but Sam used to.
00:22:57But he's more into football now.
00:22:59Right, Sam?
00:22:59Right.
00:23:04And lastly, there's Julia Hansen at the second-hand store.
00:23:07She's the only other person I know who'd have access to pianos.
00:23:10We get pianos occasionally from estate sales,
00:23:12but I don't have any right now.
00:23:14You know, I think that you should just leave it.
00:23:17I've seen people out there,
00:23:19they're playing and singing and dancing.
00:23:21Oh, I mean, anything that gets people to look up from their phones
00:23:24and stop rushing around is okay in my books.
00:23:27People don't connect like they used to.
00:23:30Well, Springdale's a pretty small town, Julia.
00:23:33We connect here.
00:23:34I stop and talk to you and Freddie every morning on my way to work.
00:23:36You say hi, we talk about the weather, and then you're off.
00:23:40Well, I have a lot of responsibilities.
00:23:42I don't want to miss anything.
00:23:45Slow down once in a while.
00:23:46Well, that's when you find real connection.
00:23:58What are you doing here on your day off?
00:24:00I'm just working on the report for the piano case.
00:24:02We spoke to at least 20 people.
00:24:04I reviewed the security cameras.
00:24:05I even tried tracing the serial numbers, but we've hit a dead end.
00:24:08Do you have any other ideas?
00:24:09Nothing that Ali probably hasn't told you.
00:24:12How's working with her?
00:24:13We've been having a very spirited tortoise-y hair debate.
00:24:17Yeah, she does understand that police work is a systematic process.
00:24:19Details matter.
00:24:20Well, it's not like you're taking down some major crime syndicate.
00:24:23It's a couple of pianos in a gazebo.
00:24:26I just feel like I am missing something.
00:24:29And it feels unfinished.
00:24:30Get used to that.
00:24:32We don't solve every case.
00:24:33I'd like to solve my first one.
00:24:37Some advice?
00:24:39Maybe let the hair win this one.
00:24:45Well, hello there.
00:24:47Hello.
00:24:48I almost didn't recognize you out of uniform.
00:24:52Police officers get days off, too.
00:24:54Oh, well, what is this day off you speak up?
00:24:57I want to drop off the report.
00:24:58I know you're on a deadline.
00:24:59Wait, we're done?
00:25:01Really?
00:25:02I'm not sure we've talked to every single resident of Springville yet.
00:25:06Well, if you didn't know them all before, you certainly do now.
00:25:09I certainly do.
00:25:12Yeah, I meet a lot of people at my job.
00:25:15You will, too.
00:25:16In the next couple of years, you'll even be on a first-name basis with the regular tourists.
00:25:20I probably won't be here long enough for that to happen.
00:25:23Where are you going?
00:25:23Back home to Seattle.
00:25:25Yeah, I'm going to be on the force there eventually.
00:25:27Oh, have you applied?
00:25:28Yeah, yeah, I aced the tests, but not so much on the interview portion.
00:25:34The answer is always world peace.
00:25:36Yeah, I can reapply again in six months.
00:25:39So, Springville's just a pit stop?
00:25:41I'm still committed to the job.
00:25:43And what does Seattle have that we don't?
00:25:46Fewer pianos being left in gazebos.
00:25:48Yeah, not a lot of true crime podcast-worthy things happen here.
00:25:52Mm-mm.
00:25:53Well, I'm sorry we didn't defeat piano guy.
00:25:56Piano woman?
00:25:57We've got to work on that name.
00:25:59Yeah.
00:25:59Mm-hmm.
00:26:00Yes.
00:26:02No, yeah, I would have loved to figure this one out, being my first case here.
00:26:08That's why I was being so thorough.
00:26:10I appreciate it.
00:26:13I do, I do.
00:26:14If I can't have something done right and quickly, I'd rather have it done right.
00:26:19Did that hurt you, to say that out loud?
00:26:21A little bit.
00:26:26Okay, uh, I'll let you get back to your, uh, your day off.
00:26:31Yeah.
00:26:34You know, I mean, we could go over the case one more time.
00:26:38I mean, there's nothing wrong with being thorough.
00:26:43Okay.
00:26:51Oh, that house back there had a camera.
00:26:53You couldn't see the gazebo.
00:26:55I'm gonna make a note.
00:26:56Were you always like this?
00:26:58Did you have fast and efficient tea parties?
00:27:00Always done in one hour instead of two?
00:27:02Uh, no, actually.
00:27:04Uh, the opposite.
00:27:06I grew up in Philly.
00:27:08My mom still lives there.
00:27:10And, uh, after my dad passed, it was just the two of us.
00:27:13And, let's just say I had a very unstructured childhood.
00:27:17Your mom wasn't big into rules and regulations.
00:27:20Exactly.
00:27:21She was, and still is, a child of the 60s.
00:27:24And embraced a very whatever-makes-you-happy kind of parenting style.
00:27:29So how did you...
00:27:30Become the goal-oriented and accomplished person I am today?
00:27:34Sure.
00:27:34We can use your words.
00:27:36Uh, after missing one too many school trips because I didn't have a signed permission form,
00:27:41I took it upon myself to make sure I never missed out on anything again.
00:27:45And so you were responsible for everything.
00:27:47That must have been hard.
00:27:49Yeah, but it made me who I am.
00:27:51Can't be mad about it.
00:27:53Honestly, I never saw an opportunity I didn't like the look of.
00:27:56Including joining the rush of working for small-town government?
00:27:58Yeah, only to find out we don't rush much.
00:28:00But I'm working on that.
00:28:03Uh, there's a camera.
00:28:06This can probably see the gazebo.
00:28:08Looks like the right angle.
00:28:11This is Frank Meyer's place, but he's on vacation.
00:28:14We can follow up once he gets back.
00:28:17Or we can find out now.
00:28:21Uh, what are you...
00:28:22What are you doing?
00:28:23That's...
00:28:25Hey, you're trespassing.
00:28:26Relax.
00:28:27Frank won't mind.
00:28:28He owes me a favor.
00:28:30I could arrest you right now.
00:28:32Come on.
00:28:33Did you ever climb things when you were a kid?
00:28:35You and I had very different childhoods.
00:28:37Oh, let me guess.
00:28:38Military family?
00:28:40Police.
00:28:41Close.
00:28:41Um, the opposite of unstructured, you know?
00:28:44Thanksgiving with them in Seattle, it consisted of a very, you know, rigid schedule and not
00:28:48much climbing or whatever you're doing.
00:28:51Listen, structure and rules are important, but so is time for play.
00:28:55Aren't you ever spontaneous?
00:28:57Yeah, I plan time for hobbies.
00:28:58Oh, so scheduled fun?
00:29:00You must be great at parties.
00:29:04Oh, no.
00:29:10There's a tree blocking the gazebo.
00:29:12Okay, so maybe sometimes being spontaneous doesn't pay off.
00:29:16I stand by my statement.
00:29:18Okay, you want to stand by it on solid ground?
00:29:20All right.
00:29:21Oh, sorry.
00:29:23You okay?
00:29:24Yes.
00:29:25Sorry.
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:27It's fine.
00:29:34Um, well, I think we've covered all the houses, so.
00:29:37Yeah.
00:29:37Is it okay to call the facilities and have them move the piano now?
00:29:41Yes, we are all done here.
00:29:42I am surprised you don't have the crew waiting on standby at the gazebo already.
00:29:50You have the crew standing by in the gazebo already, don't you?
00:29:53No, no.
00:29:54They're in a truck near the gazebo.
00:29:57There it is.
00:30:04Okay, I'll head back to the gazebo and meet you there.
00:30:07Okay, I'll see you in a minute.
00:30:08Okay, bye.
00:30:09Bye.
00:30:14Hey, you're Sam, right?
00:30:15Yeah, I was just taking a shortcut.
00:30:17Um, bye.
00:30:19Sam, Sam, wait.
00:30:21If you want to play the piano, it's okay.
00:30:23But it is your last chance.
00:30:25The guys are coming to take it away in a minute.
00:30:27Really?
00:30:29I mean, it's okay.
00:30:31I don't really need to play.
00:30:31You'd be fine if you did.
00:30:33You're really good.
00:30:34No.
00:30:36You think?
00:30:37Yeah, you're really good.
00:30:39Do you have a piano at home?
00:30:41No, we used to, but since football takes up most of my free time, my dad didn't think
00:30:47we needed one in the house.
00:30:48Do you like football?
00:30:50Yeah.
00:30:50Yeah, I mean, I'm good at it.
00:30:52At least that's what everyone tells me.
00:30:57Why don't you, uh, you go ahead, all right?
00:31:00One last time before they, you know, take it away.
00:31:03Okay.
00:31:32Do you want to join me?
00:31:37Bye.
00:32:02Okay, they're ready.
00:32:06Let's give it a minute.
00:32:27That was a nice send-off for the piano.
00:32:29Can we take a look at this?
00:32:31Are you in the market for a desk?
00:32:32My apartment came furnished, but there's no good place to work.
00:32:35That's the way it should be.
00:32:36Once you're home, you're off duty.
00:32:38I'll make sure to ask the criminals to respect my work-life balance.
00:32:41Oh, a funny cop.
00:32:43Oh, that's just what this town needs.
00:32:45Well, come on in.
00:32:49Guess we're shopping.
00:32:50I guess we are.
00:32:53Thanks for coming in.
00:32:55Hey, Allie.
00:32:56Hi.
00:32:56Officer Pruitt.
00:32:58Uh, what did my grandma do now?
00:33:00He's here to buy a desk.
00:33:02My grandson thinks I'm a troublemaker.
00:33:04Your grandson knows you're a troublemaker.
00:33:07Desks are over there.
00:33:08Just yell if you see something you like.
00:33:09Great, thank you.
00:33:14What about this one?
00:33:18Yeah, it's, uh, no.
00:33:20That's, that's, that's too expensive.
00:33:22Uh, I don't want to spend, you know, too much on something temporary.
00:33:26Right.
00:33:27See you, adult.
00:33:29Why don't you just take it with you?
00:33:30You gonna help me move?
00:33:32Oh, um, I can't because, um, I'm busy that day and I hurt my back and my grandma is...
00:33:40Uh-huh.
00:33:40Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:33:42No, I'm gonna keep my place pretty simple.
00:33:44Pretty much what's in there is what was in there when I moved in.
00:33:47Hmm.
00:33:47So you haven't put a personal touch on it at all?
00:33:50Not even a plant.
00:33:52Well, then, we have some work to do.
00:34:02I don't care what I've been told, bro.
00:34:05When I go, if I won't, oh, oh, oh, no.
00:34:08I'll go with the flow.
00:34:12I got soccer, I got style.
00:34:15When I walk on by the people's night, oh, oh.
00:34:18I'll go with the flow.
00:34:22I don't care what I'm doing.
00:34:46You good?
00:34:47Yeah?
00:34:47Not too heavy?
00:34:48No, it's not too heavy.
00:34:50Yeah, I think this is the perfect spot. You get the best light.
00:34:54Don't want to have bad light.
00:34:56I still think you should have got that vase you liked.
00:34:58Flowers bring so much life to a place.
00:35:00Sure, but men don't often receive flowers.
00:35:02I think we bought plenty of items. You snuck this past me.
00:35:07I did.
00:35:11Yeah, I mean, I guess this is all only temporary, right?
00:35:17Right.
00:35:22Okay, there's already a nail there. Should we put it there?
00:35:26Yeah, sure.
00:35:26Want to help me?
00:35:27Mm-hmm.
00:35:30Okay.
00:35:32Down.
00:35:46Wow, it looks great.
00:35:48Yeah, it does.
00:35:54So, they're demolishing the gazebo on Monday.
00:35:57Yeah, and then something else gets in the way.
00:36:00Well, it looks good in here.
00:36:03It's more... lived in.
00:36:12I should probably go.
00:36:13Um, on the other hand, we didn't expect there to be a second piano.
00:36:18Well, maybe a third is none of the question.
00:36:21Well, what do you want to do about it?
00:36:24Have you ever been on a stakeout?
00:36:37A stakeout? I love it. Do you get to be in a van with high-tech equipment?
00:36:41Ooh!
00:36:41You should get some night-vision goggles.
00:36:43I'll put in a requisition.
00:36:45Was this the mayor's idea?
00:36:46No, it was Ryan's.
00:36:50Ryan? Officer Pruitt!
00:36:51So, you're gonna be up all night under the stars with Ryan.
00:36:56Why do I tell you things?
00:36:57Yeah, you'd think you'd have learned your lesson by now.
00:36:59I'm only doing this to make sure that nothing happens before the demolition crew gets there tomorrow.
00:37:03Just be careful.
00:37:05I am always careful.
00:37:07Besides, I'm sure we'll have full support of the police department.
00:37:10The department is absolutely not gonna support this.
00:37:13Ma'am, Sarge, you know how important this is to the mayor.
00:37:17The mayor asked you to stake out the 10 square?
00:37:21No, but apparently she's very gung-ho about it.
00:37:24So you want to sit all night guarding a gazebo by yourself?
00:37:27Well, I'm not gonna be by myself.
00:37:30The city manager, she volunteered to help me out.
00:37:33I thought you were happy to be rid of Allie.
00:37:35Now you want to spend a whole night in a car with her?
00:37:37This is the best way to stop a crime from happening.
00:37:39At worst, it's illegal dumping.
00:37:41Not even stakeout worthy.
00:37:45Okay, fine.
00:37:46But you're not being paid overtime.
00:37:48And you're using your own car and buying your own coffee.
00:37:52And not for my brother-in-law's place.
00:37:54Deal.
00:38:02City codes.
00:38:04You need to join a new book club.
00:38:07That's actually really interesting.
00:38:09Every city has different rules.
00:38:11For instance, Springville has entire sections on public murals, naming conventions, and bees.
00:38:18Can we name this place Nothing Happening Square?
00:38:21Ugh, it's been hours.
00:38:23It's been 45 minutes.
00:38:25Feels like hours.
00:38:26I can do this by myself.
00:38:28And let you take all the glory while you catch the ne'er-do-well.
00:38:32Ne'er-do-well?
00:38:34Outlaw.
00:38:36Scoundrel.
00:38:36Oh, sorry, one sec.
00:38:38Yep.
00:38:39Oh.
00:38:40Sorry, the 1800s called and they want their words back?
00:38:43What do you call someone who puts pianos in gazebos?
00:38:46Someone who has way too much time on their hands.
00:38:48Needs work.
00:38:50This is gonna be a long night.
00:38:53So, tell me about the man, the mystery, Mr. Ryan Pruitt.
00:39:00You know everything.
00:39:01From Seattle, law enforcement, family, join the army, police officer.
00:39:06That's all you're gonna give me?
00:39:07I thought you'd appreciate the efficiency.
00:39:09But you know I'm gonna just keep on bothering you if you don't talk, so that's just wasting time, that's
00:39:14the opposite of efficient.
00:39:15Has anyone ever told you that you can be very frustrating?
00:39:18They used other words, but yes.
00:39:23I grew up in Seattle.
00:39:25In a little suburb.
00:39:27Two sisters.
00:39:29We lived with our parents in a house near the water.
00:39:33Oh.
00:39:34So.
00:39:35A boat guy.
00:39:37More like my dad really loves boats, but I get terrible seasickness kind of guy.
00:39:46You cannot mean that.
00:39:48I do.
00:39:48A hot dog is a sandwich.
00:39:50Get out of my car.
00:39:52Next, you're gonna be saying that cereal is a soup.
00:39:56Well.
00:39:56You gotta be kidding me.
00:39:57Okay, hold on here.
00:39:58What are you doing?
00:40:00I've proven a point.
00:40:06See?
00:40:07I didn't say they were the same.
00:40:09I said they were similar.
00:40:10I'll take that as a win.
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:12Yeah?
00:40:13You can take that as a win?
00:40:14Mm-hmm.
00:40:14All right.
00:40:15Congratulations.
00:40:25Oh.
00:40:26Oh.
00:40:26What?
00:40:27There's someone at the gazebo.
00:40:29Stay down here.
00:40:30Get the binoculars.
00:40:31Stay here.
00:40:32Stay here.
00:40:33Oh.
00:40:33Are you okay?
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:34No problem.
00:40:35Stay down.
00:40:42Really?
00:40:51What are you doing?
00:40:53Stopping you from rushing into what could be a dangerous situation.
00:40:56Okay.
00:40:56I don't think our piano guy, bad guy, is really gonna be dangerous.
00:41:00Don't you ever know where trouble lurks?
00:41:05Danger rarely plays the violin.
00:41:10Yeah.
00:41:14Tex?
00:41:16Ally?
00:41:34He's a friend of mine.
00:41:35He asked me to play the piano for his proposal.
00:41:38But since you had it removed, I had to improvise.
00:41:41Okay, go.
00:41:42Go.
00:41:42Sorry.
00:41:43Okay, okay.
00:41:44Sorry.
00:41:44Bye.
00:41:45Sorry.
00:41:47Congratulations.
00:41:56Blanket?
00:41:57Oh, thank you.
00:42:02That was a nice thing Dex did.
00:42:05He seems like a good guy.
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:08He is.
00:42:11So you guys were on again, off again.
00:42:14Are you going to try again?
00:42:17I don't know.
00:42:20I mean, he checks all the boxes, but his schedule's probably more packed than mine.
00:42:25We get busy, and our relationship takes a back seat, and we break up, and then we hang out, and
00:42:33we start dating again, and the cycle continues.
00:42:37So what are the boxes?
00:42:39Oh, I don't know.
00:42:40I mean, the usual stuff.
00:42:42Funny, kind, smart.
00:42:44He thinks hot dogs are sandwiches.
00:42:46Yeah.
00:42:47Doesn't hurt.
00:42:48I mean, it's not a deal breaker, but...
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:50What is?
00:42:53Well, they have to want to get married, and they have to want to have kids someday, and they have
00:43:03to want to settle down here in Springville.
00:43:16Wow.
00:43:18The stars are really beautiful tonight.
00:43:22Yeah, they are.
00:43:45Oh.
00:43:47Sorry.
00:43:50I'm so kind of asleep.
00:43:51No.
00:43:51It's okay.
00:43:52I did too.
00:43:57Oh, come on.
00:44:11How did this get past you?
00:44:14So, we had planned on staying awake, but...
00:44:18We fell asleep.
00:44:19I take full responsibility.
00:44:21Okay.
00:44:21Well, we have to move it before the demolition crew get here, so I guess, you know, we'll just have
00:44:26to lift from our knees.
00:44:27No, Hope, I already called them off as soon as I saw the piano. The soonest they can get here
00:44:31is Wednesday.
00:44:32Oh, is that enough time?
00:44:32Well, the ground breaking is a week from today, so we should be good.
00:44:36Okay, everyone. Sorry, excuse us. One lap around the square, and then we're done. It's important to keep moving.
00:44:45Look, I'm really sorry, but we have to reopen the investigation.
00:44:48No, we need to stop playing around.
00:44:51I assure you, no one is playing around.
00:44:57That was unfortunate timing.
00:44:59Very.
00:45:07Wow, a lot of piano players in this town.
00:45:11This is fantastic. I love that the city put in a public piano.
00:45:15Oh, we didn't, and it's not staying.
00:45:18Oh, that's a shame.
00:45:22Um, Hope, can I talk to you for a second?
00:45:28Okay.
00:45:29I'm wondering if we might want to take a step back and reconsider if tearing down the gazebo is the
00:45:35right thing.
00:45:36Allie!
00:45:37Well, I'm just saying, people are loving the piano.
00:45:39I get it. The piano's nice, but the Van Wilkinson family was clear about the grant.
00:45:44We only get the funding if we build the memorial fountain in the town square.
00:45:48Well, at least let me find another place to put the piano.
00:45:51I just think it's really making a difference in the community.
00:45:56If that's what you want to do, then we'll do it.
00:45:59Oh, thank you.
00:46:00And, well, since the demolition isn't happening until Wednesday, maybe we can leave the piano here for a few days?
00:46:06Sure, that's fine.
00:46:09Thanks, Hope. See ya.
00:46:10See ya.
00:46:15Hey, Riot. You got a sec?
00:46:18Hey, Sarge. What's up?
00:46:22Call that number. Set up another interview with Seattle PD.
00:46:26Uh, I don't understand. I was told I have to wait at least another six months before I can try
00:46:29again.
00:46:30I made a call. I know a guy. Look, I like you. I think you're a good fit for Springville
00:46:36and the job is yours as long as you want it.
00:46:38But if you are gonna leave, then I would rather you do it before people start depending on you too
00:46:43much.
00:46:44I mean, you're already Ali's guy.
00:46:46No, no, she's not, uh, I'm not, I'm not, no. I'm, I'm a, I am a guy though. Not her
00:46:51guy. But did you, did she say something?
00:46:53I meant professionally.
00:46:55Yes. That's, I did, I did too.
00:46:58A word of advice. If you ever commit a crime, just confess. Because this is not gonna fool anybody.
00:47:13Oh, hello.
00:47:23That was great guys.
00:47:30Oh, I know that look. Time to get back to work?
00:47:34Maybe a little spontaneous break won't hurt.
00:47:46Okay, so let's figure out the next steps to the case.
00:47:49Look at you doing two things at once. Don't forget we need to be methodical about this.
00:47:53Okay, are you done?
00:47:55I know.
00:47:59Here's the thing. I'm not sure how much help I can be on the case. I have another mystery on
00:48:05my hands. I talked Hope into letting me put another piano somewhere.
00:48:10So you want to keep the piano?
00:48:12Well, everyone keeps saying how vibrant downtown used to be and we've been looking for ways to make it that
00:48:18way again.
00:48:19Maybe this is one of those ways.
00:48:22Mystery is where to put it.
00:48:25Well, we could solve both of our mysteries together.
00:48:29I have to canvas the neighborhood still and we could look for places to put the piano at the same
00:48:34time.
00:48:35You know what I call that?
00:48:36Great idea.
00:48:37Efficient.
00:48:39I don't even know for you.
00:48:41Maybe a little.
00:48:51Okay, I talked to everybody on your list. Nobody had any leads.
00:48:55Maybe I should have worn the uniform.
00:48:56Because then you could have gotten them to confess?
00:48:58You never know.
00:48:59Well, Beth told you not to wear it. This sort of thing requires a personal touch. Get people on your
00:49:04side.
00:49:05Yeah, how's it going out here? There's plenty of room for a piano.
00:49:07Yeah, but there's no cover to put a piano under and I don't know, I'm just not feeling it.
00:49:13Yeah, Town Square has a certain romance.
00:49:16Exactly.
00:49:17I mean, we witnessed a marriage proposal last night. I can't imagine that kind of thing happening out here.
00:49:21Can you get married in City Hall?
00:49:23It would certainly be more efficient.
00:49:26That is a bonus, but I don't know. I'm just, I'm not picturing romance out here.
00:49:35What are you doing?
00:49:36Trying to help you picture it.
00:49:39Allie Ferguson, will you marry me?
00:49:44Ryan, this is the worst proposal I've ever seen.
00:49:47It's the setting. If I took the time to prepare a real proposal, it would be the best ever.
00:49:53I believe that.
00:49:57No, you're the one who needs a write-up.
00:49:59Me? You're the one who started this.
00:50:01Me?
00:50:02Yeah, Monica, what is going on?
00:50:04I came to file a formal complaint about the noise from her business.
00:50:07And I'm going to file one about the smell from his.
00:50:10Okay, well look, it's your prerogative to file a complaint and I can go inside and get the forms, but
00:50:15maybe we can just take a breath and try to talk this through.
00:50:19It feels like this all started a few months ago, Monica, when you started having early morning classes.
00:50:24Her music rattles the whole kitchen. It's distracting.
00:50:26What's distracting is the smell. My students are complaining.
00:50:30May I ask a question?
00:50:31Please do.
00:50:32Um, Monica, are your speakers near your shared wall?
00:50:35Yeah, how'd you know that?
00:50:36My sister had the same problem in her dorm. You just need to pad the speakers, move them to the
00:50:40other side of the room, and it shouldn't be an issue after that.
00:50:42Oh. Well, I could do that.
00:50:45Well, if Monica's willing to do that, then I guess I can get a new fan and open up the
00:50:50windows when class is on. That should reduce the smell.
00:50:53Really?
00:50:54Yeah.
00:50:55That'll be great. Thank you.
00:50:57You're welcome.
00:50:58I'm glad we could help. Well, Officer Britt and I have a case to solve.
00:51:02Okay.
00:51:02Bye.
00:51:04Well, that went well.
00:51:06Yeah.
00:51:16It's too bad the center director isn't here.
00:51:19Well, we can still poke around and see if there's a good place for a piano.
00:51:22Yeah.
00:51:23Oh.
00:51:24Oh, yoga.
00:51:26I actually wouldn't mind taking a class after sleeping in the truck all night.
00:51:30You do yoga?
00:51:32Yeah.
00:51:32Don't you?
00:51:33Never tried it.
00:51:35Class starts in 15 if you want to join.
00:51:37Date.
00:51:38What?
00:51:39I mean, we're not dressed for it.
00:51:41There's a sporting goods shop right across the street.
00:51:45Yeah.
00:51:46Yeah, we're doing it.
00:51:59Just take your time and stay with the class.
00:52:01Oh, sorry.
00:52:03Let's move into downward dog.
00:52:06Hold.
00:52:08And breathe.
00:52:12Great form.
00:52:12Keep opening up those shoulders.
00:52:14Everyone warrior one.
00:52:16What's that?
00:52:17Right leg forward.
00:52:18Oh.
00:52:19Forward.
00:52:19And then both heads up.
00:52:21Like this.
00:52:22Yeah.
00:52:24This.
00:52:25This is so slow.
00:52:27I don't know how you make it look easy.
00:52:29It just takes time and concentration.
00:52:31Try focusing on your breath.
00:52:33That keeps me in the moment.
00:52:36Warrior two?
00:52:41Try breathing with me.
00:52:53How you feeling?
00:52:55Like I tested every ounce of patience I possess.
00:52:58Yeah.
00:52:59The more you do it, the better you get.
00:53:01Slow and steady.
00:53:02Wins the race.
00:53:03Where have I heard that before?
00:53:06I don't know.
00:53:07Could we really fit a piano in here?
00:53:09Whoa.
00:53:09Did you say a piano?
00:53:10Please don't tell me you're gonna cram more stuff in.
00:53:13You saw how packed it was today.
00:53:14I'm just thinking out loud.
00:53:16We're looking for a place to put a public piano.
00:53:18I don't think there's much room in the center.
00:53:20But have you talked to that guy at the music store?
00:53:22Dex at Holloway Music?
00:53:23Yeah.
00:53:24Him.
00:53:24He might know a good place he could go.
00:53:26Thanks.
00:53:28Huh.
00:53:29We should talk to Dex again.
00:53:31Why?
00:53:32He said he didn't do it.
00:53:33Yeah, because we asked him, did you do it?
00:53:35But you didn't.
00:53:35But what we should have asked him was,
00:53:37did you sell the pianos to the person who did it?
00:53:40Interesting.
00:53:47Yes.
00:53:48The first two are not mine,
00:53:49but the one that's currently in the gazebo is from my store.
00:53:52Who bought it?
00:53:53I have no idea.
00:53:54Someone came in after I left, paid cash.
00:53:57Kenny took the sale.
00:53:58Can we talk to him?
00:53:59Oh, he's camping.
00:54:00He's off grid until Tuesday.
00:54:01It's okay.
00:54:03We will figure it out.
00:54:05All right.
00:54:06See you later.
00:54:07Thanks.
00:54:09Allie, can I talk to you for a second?
00:54:11Sure.
00:54:12I'll just be a few minutes.
00:54:13I'll meet you in the square.
00:54:14Sure.
00:54:15So, Tripp's come up with some friends,
00:54:17and I'm not going to be able to make it to the concert.
00:54:20Yeah.
00:54:22I wanted to talk to you about that, actually.
00:54:23We keep circling a relationship because we enjoy similar things,
00:54:28but then we end up rescheduling being together,
00:54:31and I think it's because the connection just isn't really there.
00:54:36I'm realizing I need something more steady, more constant.
00:54:46more like someone who makes me slow down and take a breath.
00:54:52Okay.
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:54No, I get that.
00:54:56So, just stay friends?
00:54:57Yeah.
00:54:58Just friends.
00:54:59Okay.
00:55:01I'll see you later.
00:55:02Okay.
00:55:13Why don't you join?
00:55:14Nah, you know, there's too many people, and music really isn't my thing.
00:55:19That's not what I saw.
00:55:21My dad wants me to focus on school and football.
00:55:23Plus, with my shifts to the diner, I wish they weren't taking away the piano.
00:55:30It's easy to come here on my breaks, or when I'm out on a delivery and dad's busy.
00:55:35You really like playing the piano, don't you?
00:55:37I love it.
00:55:38Then you need to talk to your dad.
00:55:40Yeah, you wouldn't understand.
00:55:42He might if he hears you play.
00:55:44You need to find a way to connect with him.
00:55:48Alright, tell him what you need.
00:55:50Family can be much more supportive than you think.
00:55:54Gotta go.
00:55:56See you later.
00:55:56See ya.
00:55:58Hi.
00:55:58You okay?
00:55:59I think he's gonna be.
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:03How was your talk?
00:56:08Clarifying.
00:56:10Dex and I are just friends.
00:56:12Nothing more.
00:56:15I've never seen the square so busy.
00:56:18There's usually nobody here.
00:56:20No.
00:56:21The fountain won't be nice.
00:56:23Yeah, but it won't be like this.
00:56:27There's something special about that piano.
00:56:31I've gotta find a place for it.
00:56:33Well, we've mixed the community center, the wharf, city hall plaza, about a dozen different street corners.
00:56:39I just need more time.
00:56:43Ugh.
00:56:43It's been a long day.
00:56:45Why don't we meet tomorrow at 9am?
00:56:46We can go over it all again.
00:56:48Can you do 1030?
00:56:49I got a point here.
00:56:51Yeah, that works.
00:56:53Okay.
00:56:54Okay.
00:56:55Well, I'm gonna take off.
00:56:57I'm gonna get some food before I get home.
00:57:00Thinking about trying that Thai place.
00:57:02Oh.
00:57:03Tell Mrs. Anong I sent you.
00:57:04I will.
00:57:05What would that get me?
00:57:06Extra packets of sweet chili sauce.
00:57:08Oh, yes.
00:57:09I know.
00:57:10I'm an impressive woman.
00:57:12You really are.
00:57:16Are you hungry?
00:57:19I could eat.
00:57:31See?
00:57:31Now, was I right or was I right?
00:57:33You were right.
00:57:33You're still wrong about hot dogs, but definitely right about this.
00:57:37Oh, it's getting late.
00:57:39Yeah.
00:57:40Didn't you say you had an appointment first thing?
00:57:42Yeah.
00:57:43I have an interview with the Seattle PD.
00:57:46Sergeant O'Leary set it up for me.
00:57:47Oh, that's great.
00:57:49Congratulations.
00:57:50Congratulate me if I get the job.
00:57:52The department sent me a recording of my last interview, and I just...
00:57:58It's...
00:57:58All I can look at are the things I did wrong.
00:58:01Hmm.
00:58:01Such as?
00:58:03They asked what community means to me, and I said some stuff about protecting and serving.
00:58:11And were you wearing tights when you said it?
00:58:13It does have a certain superhero vibe, huh?
00:58:15A little.
00:58:16I mean, the sentiment is there, but it doesn't really answer the question.
00:58:23You've been here for a bit.
00:58:24What have you learned about community?
00:58:27It's about making friends.
00:58:30Creating opportunities for connection.
00:58:32Hmm.
00:58:34When you're part of a community, and you're not just policing it, you know what's actually going on.
00:58:39And you can get to the core of a problem more efficiently.
00:58:43And you want to help, because you're part of that community, too.
00:58:47Say that.
00:58:51Cheers.
00:58:57Right?
00:59:02Who's the best?
00:59:03I'm telling you.
00:59:48I think the law and order part of the job is very important.
00:59:52However, I think it's even more important for a police officer to be a part of the community.
00:59:57What does the community mean to you?
01:00:00Well, um, I'm glad you asked.
01:00:11Hi.
01:00:12Hey.
01:00:13Whoa, someone's been busy.
01:00:15Yeah, I've been making progress.
01:00:17I've even been researching other places with public pianos to see how they managed it.
01:00:21How did the interview go?
01:00:23It's good, I think.
01:00:25The flowers help.
01:00:27You're welcome.
01:00:28I know you'll get the job.
01:00:30You seem like the type who always gets what he wants.
01:00:36This is what you want, right?
01:00:41Yeah.
01:00:43Then it's practically a done deal.
01:00:49So, progress?
01:00:50Yes, I've, uh, I've pulled every photo of the town I could to see if I've missed a place
01:00:54where a piano could go, something not obvious.
01:00:57Wow, that gazebo's been there a long time.
01:01:00Yeah, since the 1880s.
01:01:02This one looks like it's from the 1970s.
01:01:08Allie, is this who I think it is?
01:01:14Yes, it is.
01:01:18It was never about the fountain.
01:01:30You got married in the gazebo.
01:01:33June 28th, 1975.
01:01:37Beautiful day.
01:01:38You told us you didn't put the pianos in there.
01:01:41I didn't.
01:01:42Made Freddy do it.
01:01:45It's not my fault you didn't ask the right questions.
01:01:48Where did you get all the pianos?
01:01:51In the state sale.
01:01:52But they only had two.
01:01:54So you got the third one from Dex's store?
01:01:56And I would have bought more if you hadn't figured it out.
01:01:58Grandma, now is not the time to admit that.
01:02:00So you were just trying to save the gazebo?
01:02:03Yeah.
01:02:04I thought it would be easier to distract you than to get anyone to care about how much this
01:02:09place means to some silly old woman.
01:02:12You're not silly.
01:02:13You were just trying to protect the place you loved.
01:02:17How did you come up with this idea?
01:02:20Freddy.
01:02:21Okay.
01:02:22Not on purpose.
01:02:23He showed me videos of public pianos and inspiration just struck, you know?
01:02:28Yeah.
01:02:28We put the first one out there because I thought it would slow you down a little and get you
01:02:32to rethink things.
01:02:33And the second one?
01:02:34Have you seen the town square lately?
01:02:36The piano has made everyone slow down and talk with each other and sing with each other
01:02:44and dance with each other.
01:02:48Real human connection.
01:02:51Most powerful force in the world.
01:03:00So that's it?
01:03:01We can get rid of the piano and she's not going to do it again?
01:03:04She promised she wouldn't.
01:03:05But more importantly, Freddy promised he wouldn't.
01:03:08I think if it was up to her, she'd buy every piano on the West Coast just to stall us.
01:03:11I think it's really sweet.
01:03:12I mean, she has so many memories with the gazebo.
01:03:14Well, the fountain will be a place to make new memories.
01:03:17And with the grant, we can create more places for people to enjoy.
01:03:21I just wish I found a place for the piano already.
01:03:24I mean, I looked at city-owned properties, but there is nowhere as perfect as the town
01:03:28square.
01:03:28But how would that work in the long run?
01:03:30The weather's nice now, but what happens when it rains all winter?
01:03:32I found a company that does weatherproof pianos.
01:03:35And if it was in a place like the gazebo, it would last even longer.
01:03:39Allie.
01:03:39I know.
01:03:41I just wish there was a way I could make everybody happy.
01:03:44We work in municipal government.
01:03:46That's not possible.
01:03:51So that's it?
01:03:53Yeah.
01:03:54I guess.
01:03:59Hi, it's Allie.
01:04:01Can you send a crew to meet me at the gazebo?
01:04:03No.
01:04:08No.
01:04:44When you get the job.
01:04:47If I get the job.
01:04:49When?
01:04:52Would you leave right away?
01:04:54No, I'd like to take my time and make sure I didn't leave any loose ends.
01:05:01Wouldn't expect anything less.
01:05:08It's quiet out here.
01:05:11I was thinking the same thing.
01:05:14At least we got the job done.
01:05:16Once the gazebo's gone, I guess that's that.
01:05:23It's funny.
01:05:24At this point in a project, I'm usually thinking about the next thing.
01:05:28Worried I might be missing something.
01:05:32But?
01:05:37It's quiet out here.
01:05:40Yep.
01:05:42Yes, it is.
01:05:46I'm going to figure out how to make the piano work.
01:05:51I just wish I had more time.
01:05:53Maybe I could have even saved the gazebo.
01:05:56If anyone can do the job, it's you.
01:06:00It's not about the job.
01:06:05I've really enjoyed working with you.
01:06:09For the first time, I feel like...
01:06:13I'm not missing anything.
01:06:16I feel like I am right where I'm supposed to be.
01:06:20Yeah, me too.
01:06:34I...
01:06:35We can't.
01:06:39I'm sorry.
01:06:40I, um...
01:06:41I should go.
01:06:42I need to make sure everything is set for tomorrow.
01:06:45Yeah, yeah, me too.
01:06:47I'll, uh...
01:06:49See you at the finish line.
01:06:51Yeah.
01:06:53See ya.
01:07:03Best Thai food in town.
01:07:05Uh, yeah, it really is.
01:07:06You know, if I get the job, Seattle is less than a three-hour drive.
01:07:09I might have to come back just for this.
01:07:10I'm sure Seattle has great Thai food.
01:07:12Yeah, but can I get extra sweet chili packets there?
01:07:16What?
01:07:16Never mind.
01:07:17If you do get the job, we're really gonna miss you around here, Brian.
01:07:21Oh, thank you, Beth.
01:07:23Yeah, see?
01:07:24Only took you a week.
01:07:26Didn't take long to fit in at all.
01:07:28Yes, you were STAIP.
01:07:30Oh!
01:07:37Bye!
01:07:38Bye!
01:07:39Yes!
01:07:40Bye!
01:07:40Bye!
01:07:41Bye!
01:07:43Bye!
01:07:44Bye!
01:07:45Bye!
01:07:46Bye!
01:07:49Bye!
01:07:51Bye!
01:08:10Okay, so you can have this torn down and the site cleared by the end of the day, right?
01:08:17Well...
01:08:18You've got to be kidding me!
01:08:29Absolutely, that's why we're here, we're going to...
01:08:31Oh, just give me one second.
01:08:32It's impossible.
01:08:33All right, everyone!
01:08:36Apparently, there's a new piano.
01:08:38Yeah, no, I didn't do it.
01:08:39Freddie?
01:08:39Oh, she didn't ask me to do it either.
01:08:41Dex?
01:08:42Not me.
01:08:42Hold on, let me go take a look at it.
01:08:48No, it's not one from my store.
01:08:50Somebody has to know where it came from.
01:08:52That's the same piano as the first one.
01:08:53How do you know that?
01:08:55I don't know, it just looks the same, I guess.
01:08:57You know, from a distance.
01:08:59Oh!
01:09:00No, no.
01:09:01He's right.
01:09:01That's the first piano that we put in here.
01:09:04So we keep getting rid of them and they keep coming back?
01:09:06It's like a horror movie.
01:09:07Someone must have taken it from the loading dock behind City Hall.
01:09:10Yeah.
01:09:10Why don't we just leave it here?
01:09:12It's clear everybody wants it.
01:09:14Yeah.
01:09:15You know, everybody, please, we hear you.
01:09:19And Ali is already working on finding a place to put a public piano.
01:09:24It just can't be here.
01:09:25Please tell me that we can remove it before we have to do another investigation.
01:09:28Yeah, that's not a problem.
01:09:29With the other pianos, we didn't know where it came from or who it belonged to.
01:09:33We know this one belongs to Julia, so the question remains, who took it from City Hall and placed
01:09:39it here?
01:09:39But we can get rid of it now and ask that question later because we need to tear down
01:09:43the gazebo today.
01:09:44Yeah, that's fine.
01:09:45Okay, Freddie, how long will it take for you to get a dolly and one of your friends and
01:09:49move it back to the store?
01:09:51Maybe 30 minutes.
01:09:53We can move the demolition to this afternoon.
01:09:55If we do the other job now, come back for two.
01:09:58Oh.
01:09:59Two?
01:10:03Two?
01:10:04One.
01:10:05One.
01:10:05Another one.
01:10:08One.
01:10:08Sorry, couldn't help it.
01:10:12Though, while the piano's still here, might as well play it.
01:10:14Alas, hurrah.
01:10:16You know I have class in a few.
01:10:18Dex, would you mind if I bring the kids over?
01:10:21One last dance in the square?
01:10:23Yeah.
01:10:24More than the merrier, tell them to bring their friends!
01:10:27That's good news, huh?
01:10:28Now you have extra time to find a spot for the piano.
01:10:31I can't believe my luck.
01:10:33And now that the investigation's back on, I can help.
01:10:37Uh, hold on a second.
01:10:41Ryan here.
01:10:43Oh, hello.
01:10:48I will keep an eye out for it.
01:10:51Okay, bye.
01:10:54What's up? Everything okay?
01:10:56I got the job.
01:10:59You did?
01:11:01Oh, that's great.
01:11:03I knew you would. Congratulations.
01:11:06Oh, thank you.
01:11:09Wow. So, uh, I guess Beth will be taking over the case?
01:11:16Yeah, she can if, uh, that's what she thinks best.
01:11:22Um, yeah, maybe it's for the best, you know?
01:11:25It's a Springville community matter now.
01:11:32Right. Yeah, it's, uh, Springville community matter.
01:11:35Mm-hmm.
01:11:38Well, I, I should go. Um, I, uh, I hope Seattle is everything you wish it to be.
01:11:49Okay.
01:11:49Okay, I'll see you later.
01:11:50Yeah.
01:12:04Well, so many people have been using the piano. It's amazing.
01:12:05Well, so many people have been using the piano. It's amazing.
01:12:09Well, so many people have been using the piano. It's amazing.
01:12:20Yeah, it is, isn't it?
01:12:22Yeah.
01:12:23Well, you make me feel so whole. You're kept it in. So you make me smile. You make me smile.
01:12:36You make me smile.
01:12:45Do you know what would be even more amazing? If you took a turn up there?
01:12:49Yeah. Maybe it's time you showed your dad what you really love to do.
01:12:57Yeah.
01:13:25You have a talented son.
01:13:28I didn't realize he liked playing anymore, but, wow, he's phenomenal.
01:13:35Well, maybe you should tell him that.
01:13:40Yeah. Yeah, maybe I should.
01:13:53Why didn't you tell me you could play like this?
01:13:56I thought you'd be mad.
01:13:58Never. You're amazing.
01:14:01And if you love this, I will always support you.
01:14:04Yeah.
01:14:06I want some.
01:14:22I don't want to interrupt.
01:14:23No, come on in.
01:14:27Are we doing the right thing?
01:14:28It's like the whole town has suddenly found this thing they love.
01:14:32I know what you mean.
01:14:33I never knew a piano would fit so well until it was there.
01:14:36Any luck on finding a new place for it?
01:14:38I'm going over the grant paperwork.
01:14:39I know there's an answer.
01:14:40I'm just trying to go slow and take my time and...
01:14:43Take your time.
01:14:44Hmm.
01:14:45It looks like Officer Pruitt is rubbing off on you.
01:14:49Has he started working on the case of who put piano for there?
01:14:53I don't know.
01:14:54Um, I think Beth is taking over.
01:14:56Why?
01:14:57You two are great together.
01:14:59He got a job in Seattle.
01:15:01Oh.
01:15:03He's leaving?
01:15:04Really?
01:15:05Oh, I thought you two were getting close.
01:15:08No, it was just work.
01:15:11Or you could tell him you like him.
01:15:16I don't know what you mean.
01:15:18Oh.
01:15:20Anyway, I should get back to work.
01:15:22Sure thing.
01:15:23I will be at the gazebo if you need anything.
01:15:46Aren't you done for the day?
01:15:48I'm just finishing up my notes on the piano, okay?
01:15:50So you can hit the ground running.
01:15:53You got the job.
01:15:55Yeah, I did.
01:15:56Just found out.
01:15:57Um, still have to go over all the details, but...
01:16:00I want to say thank you.
01:16:01You sure you don't want to finish this last case?
01:16:03You worked extra diligent on this one.
01:16:06I think it's probably for the best if I turn it over to you.
01:16:09Is this because of Ali?
01:16:10Let's just say there may be a, um, a conflict of interest.
01:16:14Plus, I'm leaving.
01:16:15I'm not going to be part of this community anymore.
01:16:18You know, someone recently pointed out to me that Seattle is less than a three-hour drive from here.
01:16:23If it's worth making that drive for Thai food, maybe it's worth making that drive for other things.
01:16:29Those other things are a lot more complicated than Thai food.
01:16:31Are they?
01:16:33Or are you saying they're more complicated because that's easier than facing it head on?
01:16:41Uh, maybe I will finish the case.
01:16:44Uh, I may even know who left that last piano there.
01:16:47Hm.
01:16:48Who?
01:16:49Not ready to say yet.
01:16:52I think they were making things a little more complicated than they needed to.
01:16:56I reckon they were.
01:16:59Go get her.
01:17:03Allie, I need to talk to you.
01:17:05Right.
01:17:05What are you doing here?
01:17:08Hey.
01:17:09Hi.
01:17:12I wanted to check the tapes of the loading bay.
01:17:16It's important.
01:17:18You're still on the case?
01:17:19Yeah.
01:17:20Uh, I didn't want to leave anything unfinished.
01:17:23For the community.
01:17:25Uh, did you figure it out yet?
01:17:26You're witnessing our last-ditch attempt to keep the gazebo.
01:17:29Really?
01:17:29You think you can do it?
01:17:30The-the grant is watertight.
01:17:32Unless we can find an ordinance that keeps pianos in gazebos, I-
01:17:36I'm not sure that's in the city code, but maybe there's some archaic law we missed.
01:17:39Are you saying you don't know all of the city codes?
01:17:41They do change from time to time.
01:17:43Nothing is set in stone.
01:17:45Right.
01:17:46Nothing is set in stone.
01:17:48Nothing is set in stone.
01:17:50Uh, I'm gonna make a quick call, okay?
01:17:52Uh, I'll see you at the gazebo.
01:17:53Okay, I'll meet you there.
01:17:53I think I just figured it out.
01:17:57Um...
01:17:57So, this part of 2nd Street, this was renamed Benton Street back in 1968.
01:18:03And-and Douglas Street was changed from 3rd Street.
01:18:06If we can rename a street, we need to call the mayor.
01:18:11Hope, are you still at the gazebo?
01:18:13Still here.
01:18:14Can you stall the crew for a few minutes?
01:18:16I think I found a solution.
01:18:18Just give us a few more minutes.
01:18:20Oh, wait, wait!
01:18:20There they are.
01:18:22Did you sort it out?
01:18:24I checked every code, every contract, every line of the grant application.
01:18:29Our plan's foolproof.
01:18:31Turns out, we won't need your services after all, but thank you.
01:18:35Well, are you ready to share the good news?
01:18:37Yeah.
01:18:40Everybody, please, everyone, can I have your attention?
01:18:42Uh, I have an announcement I'd like to make.
01:18:45Uh, actually, I'm going to let the city manager, Allie Ferguson, announce it, because it was her idea.
01:18:55Hi, everyone.
01:18:56I want to thank you all for being here.
01:18:58I have been doing this job for years, and seeing the community this engaged has been pretty incredible.
01:19:05Uh, I'd like to thank Mayor Atkinson and, um, Officer Ryan Pruitt from the Springville Police Department.
01:19:16What are we thanking them for?
01:19:19Oh, right, yeah.
01:19:21Buried the lead, didn't I?
01:19:23Um, as most of you know, the city has secured a major grant for everything, including parks and landscaping, and
01:19:30city beautification, and a fountain honoring Springville's first mayor.
01:19:34We don't want the fountain.
01:19:35We want the piano.
01:19:36I know, I know.
01:19:37We want the piano, too, and, and this is the best place for it.
01:19:42The problem is, according to the grant's conditions, the fountain must be placed in the Springville town square, or we
01:19:48lose the funding.
01:19:49So what are you gonna do?
01:19:50Well, since we can't move the fountain, we're gonna move the square.
01:20:01I, Mayor Hope Atkinson, hereby declare that the plaza in front of City Hall will now be known as Springville
01:20:09Town Square.
01:20:10Further, I declare that the former town square will be renamed Springville Municipal Park.
01:20:22Oh, we did it.
01:20:23We did it.
01:20:25Okay.
01:20:32So happy.
01:20:36Oh, hi.
01:20:37You came.
01:20:39Yeah.
01:20:39Uh, did you work it out?
01:20:41We did.
01:20:42Partly thanks to you.
01:20:44Me?
01:20:45What did I do?
01:20:46Well, you said nothing is set in stone, and you were right.
01:20:50I realized I could rename City Hall Plaza into Springville Town Square.
01:20:55Problem solved.
01:20:56Oh, you're a genius.
01:20:58We'll still have to redo the plans, but construction can start this year, as promised.
01:21:03Okay, what about the gazebo?
01:21:04It's gonna stay.
01:21:05It's gonna stay.
01:21:05We can allocate some of the grant money to spurs it up, and install a weatherproof piano.
01:21:12This sounds like a lot of work.
01:21:14Well, it'll be worth it.
01:21:17Maybe being methodical isn't so bad.
01:21:22Well, I can't wait to watch the transformation.
01:21:26Wait.
01:21:27What?
01:21:29I turned down the job in Seattle.
01:21:31You did?
01:21:34Why?
01:21:35I was just really worried I wouldn't get good time for it.
01:21:39Well, who could blame you?
01:21:40I mean, no one makes cats at you like Mrs. Anong.
01:21:45Also, I felt like I got the job under false pretenses.
01:21:47How so?
01:21:49They asked me what community means to me.
01:21:51And what did you say?
01:21:52I told them that community is about friendship, and creating moments for connection.
01:21:57And the only way you can help a community is to be a part of them.
01:22:00Like being a part of Springville.
01:22:02I couldn't give that up.
01:22:03You learned all of that from us in a week.
01:22:05Yeah, I think I just needed to be in the right place with the right people.
01:22:08And by people, you mean me.
01:22:10Yeah.
01:22:12Especially you.
01:22:30Congratulations.
01:22:33It took months, but I loved every minute of it.
01:22:38The new weatherproof piano is beautiful.
01:22:42It is, isn't it?
01:22:44It's too bad we never figured out who put that last one up there and why they did it.
01:22:49My working theory is that they were buying time so someone could come up with a clever solution.
01:22:55It's so nice they did that for the community.
01:22:57They didn't do it for the community.
01:22:58No.
01:23:00It's just a theory, of course.
01:23:02I guess it's gonna remain a mystery.
01:23:05I guess it will.
01:23:15Shall we?
01:23:16Absolutely.
01:23:18.
01:23:22.
01:23:24.
