Original subtitles

- Previously on...

- Oh, ah!

- [Cora] Liam O'Connor.

You stole Cora MacLeod's heart

200 years ago.

- No, no, no.

- Your soul has been weighed

and found wanting.

Your mission is to help her

fall in love with her true soulmate

Finn Walsh.

Agon will be your handler.

(snap) (whoosh)

(siren) (crowd chatter)

- Whoa. Hey.

(honk)

(tire screech)

- [Driver] Come on!

- Detective Liam O'Connor.

- Sorry. Have we met before?

- Not in this lifetime.

(electric ringing)

Aha!

- When your skin

touches hers, (zap).

- Bloody painful.

- Think of it as a physical reminder to stay on mission.

- Finn Walsh, ADA.

- You look like you've got aristocrats quoting you.

- So, who ya going to pick?

- I don't know yet.

Remember that weird dream

I told you I had?

I think he's the guy in it?

- [Agon] Things are going off the rails down there.

Everything's repeating the same way

that it did back in Ireland.

- I'd like to find out what this could be.

(tense music)

(bright music)

(bright music continues)

- Morning, Cora.

- Detective.

- I, uh, got you a coffee.

It's the worst coffee known to man,

but at least it's lukewarm.

- Thanks, I already got one.

- Um, I looked for you at the house,

thought maybe I could catch a ride.

- Uh, yeah, I left early.

I wanted to get a headstart on the jewelry store paperwork.

Can't have my first bust as a detective

falling apart in court.

- I mean, that would never happen

far as you get in your job.

(throat clears)

Um, listen, Cora, about the, uh, the barbecue.

- Yeah, thank you for coming to the fundraiser.

I know that the kids were really happy to see you.

- I'm sorry that I couldn't give you the answer that you-

- Liam, we're fine.

Really.

I knew better than to mix work with anything personal.

So I appreciate you reminding me

of why I keep the two separate.

- Cora.

- The last thing that I need

is for rumors to be swirling around the station

about the rookie female detective and her new partner.

You did me a favor.

We could just keep things professional,

get through the case,

and you can move on to wherever you're headed next.

- Yeah.

(relaxing music)

Wherever that may be.

(pensive music)

- Heaven.

Heaven.

Other place. Heaven.

Definitely other place.

- Still filing?

- Uh, what you got there, Samael?

- Oh, behold, I bring your favorite case.

- Liam and Cora memories from back in Ireland.

- Okay, you know that those two

are not meant to be together.

- Right, yes!

- Agon, you are an angel of destiny, not some love lord

and observer rooting for the star-crossed lovers.

The whole reason we sent those souls back to earth

was so they could fix the mistakes

of their past life, not recreate them.

- I know.

Liam's mission is to get Cora back

with her soulmate, Finn Walsh.

- Splendid.

- Ah, although

(box thuds)

uh, Cora, it seems like she may accidentally

falling for Liam again.

- Agon.

- I know. I know.

We're working on it, but it's challenging

because history seems to be repeating itself.

Things are happening exactly the same way

they did back in Ireland.

Uh, the string of thefts, John Brady's murder,

Liam being falsely accused of John Brady's murder.

- (sighs) Okay, well,

we knew there might be unintended consequences

when we sent these souls back to earth the second time.

- Right, but it's just so strange

that they're all falling into the same patterns

as their past lives when Liam is the only one

with his memories from back in Ireland.

- Okay, well, Liam's mission is to get Cora on course.

As for the others,

destiny's a powerful force,

uh, which reminds me, mm,

you can file John Brady, hmm.

And also, (sighs)

Agon, I feel I need to tell you

that this case has come to the attention

of the, uh, higher ups.

- Which one? Gabriel?

- Yeah.

(tense music)

- I've never

actually met Gabriel.

(Samael sighs)

- You don't want to meet Gabriel,

especially if they have to come

and fix the mess that you made.

You need to keep Liam on track.

There is a lot riding on him and on Cora.

You understand?

(heavenly music)

- Okay.

(footsteps plod)

(drawer clicks)

(puzzling music)

(box thuds)

(tapes click)

(heavenly music)

(keyboard clicks)

(bagpipe music)

(Finn knocks)

- Come in. (door creaks)

Mr. Walsh.

I wasn't expecting to see ya.

- Please, call me Finn.

I was hoping to speak to you for a moment.

- Of course, I'm afraid my father

is out of town on business,

but perhaps Mrs. Taylor can chaperone.

- Right.

Well, I realize

this is unorthodox,

but I knew your father was away.

I was hoping to speak to you without him.

- Oh.

- I've come to ask for your hand in marriage.

- Finn, uh-

- You and I both know

how much our parents want this.

What I'd like to know

is whether or not you do.

- Ah, you do me a

great honor, Mr. Walsh.

- Finn. - Finn.

But I, I would ask,

might I have a day or two to think it over?

- (sighs) Of course.

(Finn smooches)

(footsteps plod)

(door thuds)

(bird chirps)

- There you are, my love.

- Liam, we must be careful.

(enchanting music)

(lips smack)

Mr. Walsh was just here.

- The langer, what did he want?

- To ask for my hand in marriage.

- Well, won't he be

disappointed the next time

he calls to discover that his bride to be

is halfway to America.

And in the meantime, I set up a hideout

in the woods by the old oak.

So meet me there on the morrow.

We should leave before your father returns.

- I'll be there.

(enchanting music continues)

(lips smack)

(anxious music)

- Cora, (sighs)

are you sure?

- I'm sure as I've ever been about anything.

- Well, despite the dangers,

I'm glad I have you by my side.

- There's nowhere else I'd rather be.

(enchanting music)

(Agon sighs)

- You know, O'Connor, when I brought you in

to help out McLeod on this case,

I didn't intend for you to be accused of murder.

- Well, I didn't intend to be.

- You didn't, you didn't intend to what?

Call in an anonymous tip for a house that was later robbed?

Or spend the entire night

supposedly just driving around

with the murder victim's ex-wife

before showing up to find him dead, hmm?

- Detective O'Connor had an alibi for the time

of the murder, you cleared him for duty.

- It doesn't mean that I don't have a lot

of unanswered

questions, Detective.

Where is Meredith Brady right now, Liam?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

- No.

- Do you think

that maybe she had something to do

with her ex-husband's murder?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

Well, it sounds like, (hand pounds)

it sounds like you don't know much right now.

- Yeah, well, it sounds like you're coming at me

pretty hard, Boyd. - It's Chief Thompson.

Right now, I am your boss, not your friend.

We need to find Meredith Brady because her

and her ex-husband were friends with the mayor.

And now, he's breathing down my neck on this.

She was in the middle of an acrimonious divorce,

and she wouldn't be the first woman

who decided to become a widow instead of a divorcee!

- Well, she had an airtight alibi,

but we're also looking into murder for hire.

- Good.

- And we're looking to see

if this is connected to the earlier larcenies:

the Sullivans, the

Sheikhs, the O'Malleys.

- [Chief] What's the connection?

- Well, based on the

markings on the doorknob,

entry point may be different,

but it could still be a burglary.

John Brady could have stumbled onto the burglars,

and things got out of hand.

- And we're sure the jewelry store owner

didn't have anything to do with all this?

- That seems unlikely.

- Unlikely?

- It's a different MO,

commercial versus private property.

Not to mention that

nothing from the larcenies

was ever found in the jewelry store take

after we apprehended Vance.

So seems like a copycat, not the original perp.

- You gotta really rule 'em out here, Detective.

- Of course.

- If you want the respect

of the people out there, you gotta prove

that you're more than just the Old Chief's daughter.

(Cora scoffs)

Find Meredith Brady!

Maybe lover boy here, he can give you an insight

into her state of mind at the time.

- I don't- - Dismissed!

(laborious music)

(door clicks)

(door thuds)

- You're sweating as much as I am.

- I doubt it 'cause you were the one

who was really in his crosshairs.

- Yeah, be grateful.

I think I might have to change my shirt.

- I'm retired less than a week,

and you're already getting called on the carpet, McLeod?

I thought I trained you better than that.

- Leo, good to see you.

- And you, you know this is

former chief's daughter, right?

You're supposed to keep her out of trouble,

not drag her into it.

- Okay, Leo, play off. What are you even doing here?

Shouldn't you be off golfing

with the rest of the retired folks?

- I'm more of a

fishing guy myself.

- So you're keeping busy? - More or less.

Interviewing with a private security firm,

may work part-time.

Until then, retirement shindig at Dante's.

- Mm.

- You should come.

I already nagged your old man into it.

- I'll be there.

- See you there.

So we should send some uniforms

over to the new work-live space

that the Brady Company was spearheading.

Maybe Meredith is hiding there.

- Yeah, the Bradys have dozens of properties

all in various stages of development.

- We should get ahold of the utilities information.

My gut says that if they turn the lights on at one of them-

- Yeah, ever, yeah.

And this party, I

think I'll invite Finn.

- What? Are you two friends now?

- Yeah, could be, could be,

but also, you know, I just thought you and him...

- Let's just focus on the case, okay?

(upbeat music)

- Hi. - Hi.

I ordered you a drink. - Oh, thank you.

- My horoscope said I'd have the opportunity

to help a friend in need, so there you go.

- Oh, did it also say that I'm overdue for a hang

with my best friend where we do absolutely nothing

but binge-watch reality shows, drink wine, and eat cheese?

- No, it should have,

though. That sounds amazing.

- [Suzette] Thought you

didn't believe in horoscopes.

- Oh, I would make an exception for that one.

(Suzette chuckles)

Thank you so much for coming.

I'm in desperate need of backup tonight.

- Can't you just ask your hot new Irish partner for backup?

- Absolutely not. Things with Liam are so weird.

I sort of told him that I might be interested

in being more than just partners.

- What?

- And then he ran away.

- He did not. - Yeah.

And now, he's being strange at work,

and he's trying to set me up with Finn.

- Why?

- I don't know. I'm a mess.

Finn and I also almost kissed.

- Hi, Finn!

- You guys talking about

anything interesting over here?

- Absolutely. - No.

Um, I, I did wanna thank you, though,

for coming to the

Second Chances barbecue.

- Oh, of course, anything I can do to support.

- Um, and I know that we didn't get a chance

to follow up after the policemen's ball,

but I just wanted to- - Mr. McLeod!

- Oh.

- So lovely to see you.

- Hey, Suzette, always a pleasure.

- Hey, Dad. - Hi, honey, hi.

- Uh, Dad, this is-

- Finn Walsh.

Worked on a couple cases back in the day.

- We sure did. How's

retirement treating you, Chief?

- I'm keeping busy.

Whatever happened to that arson case?

- Ah, it's still stuck in peels.

- Are you kidding me? I

thought that was a slam dunk.

- Ah, we're gonna go grab a table.

- [Leo] Okay, great. It's good to see ya.

- What do you expect me to do?

- But you're-

- Thank you so much.

(throat clears)

- Who is that?

- That's a, uh,

that's the tavern boy.

Yeah, I just had a

question about the ale.

(foreboding music)

- Mm.

- Okay, so if this is the vibe,

it's gonna be a very long night.

So can't you two, I don't know,

shake hands, call a truce or something?

- Tactful as always.

- You know I don't do tact,

but from where I'm sitting, you're cool, she's cool.

Can't you both just be cool?

- I think I can handle that if you can.

(electricity hums)

I get it, you're not interested.

- Cora, please, no, don't.

- Okay, I'm trying to help you out here,

but you need to figure out whatever that was

because it's the last thing she needs right now, Liam.

(footsteps plod)

- Copy that.

- Hey, Liam, is, uh, Cora- - Gone again.

- Right, so you and Cora, you two aren't-

- Just partners.

- Good to know.

Okay, well, I'll catch you around.

(darts rattle)

- Did that, uh, dartboard do something to annoy you?

- Magnus, gosh.

- Hi.

- What are you doing here?

You miss your old stomping friends?

- Something like that. I do private security now.

Just got a little

vacation spot out here.

Ah, and then Pallio told me to stop by.

- It's been what? Like?

- Eight years since I left the force for greener pastures.

- And were they? Greener, I mean?

- Mostly, but I did leave

behind a few things I regret.

- Are you still not over the fact

that I wouldn't date you?

- Want me to teach you how to throw?

- Oh, I think that you tried that move

last time we were in this bar.

And if it didn't work then,

I don't think it's gonna work now.

- It's too bad, it's kind of my main move.

- Eight years, and you haven't found any new moves?

- Maybe a few things.

- Magnus, didn't know you were back in town.

- Finn Walsh, blast from the past, man.

How's life? - Pretty good.

Wow, it's been forever since I've seen you.

- Yeah, right.

- Can I talk to you for a second?

- Yeah.

- Ah, dare I ask who that is?

- Uh, that's Magnus.

He used to be on the force before he moved here.

- (gasps) He's the one that got away.

- Look, I have a lot on my plate

in the men department at the moment.

- It might be on your plate,

but doesn't mean you have to eat it.

- That's true.

- Here, let me help you.

Hey, Finn, Cora's dad wants to talk to you.

- Oh, sure, again?

- [Suzette] Something about one of your old cases.

(throat clears)

- So can I get you a drink?

- Sure.

And then I can teach you how to play darts.

(adventurous music)

(door creaks)

- Who was that in there? - I don't know,

but our job's got a whole lot more complicated.

- Can you talk to Cora?

Push her back in Finn's direction or something?

- I can barely get her to talk to me right now!

And it doesn't help that every time I touch her,

I pull away from her like she's a leper!

Agon, take the zap off me, man.

- We have bigger problems than that right now.

A new player coming in at a time like this,

I gotta report that to Samael. I, I gotta loop her in.

- Okay, then go and do it.

And remind her I'm on your side!

She doesn't have to keep me in pain to keep me in line.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

(Agon zaps)

(phone clacks)

- What was that?

- Suzette, hi.

(footsteps plod)

- Did that man just disappear?

- Disappearing man, what?

You had too much of the uh.

- I've had half a glass of wine. I'm not confused.

That was, was that a ghost?

Magic, astral projection?

- I think you're probably either tired.

Maybe you need some food, some water, lie down.

- I know what I saw, Liam.

This is gonna blow Cora's mind.

She's always teasing me about being so woo woo,

but this is, this was real. - Ah, um.

- No, I saw, I know what I... - No, no, no. (shushes)

Let's go over here.

Uh, okay, okay. (door smacks)

Can't tell Cora, okay?

You, you, you, you can't tell anyone.

- What exactly are you mixed up in here?

- Angels.

That was an angel.

- Angels? - I know.

- You're telling me angels are real?

- And very, very meddlesome.

- Wait, are you an angel? (finger taps)

Because you're not what I would've pictured.

- No, I'm not, I've been brought back by the angels

to achieve an important mission.

- This is crazy and so cool.

- You're taking this far

better than I would've thought.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm

chronically open-minded.

Alien abductions, telepathy, bigfoot.

- Okay, yeah, I don't understand any of those references,

but I guess if someone wants to find out,

you're not the worst choice.

- So what is your angelic mission? Can I help?

- Actually, that's a grand idea.

Yes, you'd be perfect!

- To do what?

- To help me get Cora and Finn together.

- I'm sorry, what?

- It's very complicated,

but basically back in the 1840s,

I stole Cora from her true soulmate, Finn,

which led to her dying young.

Only Cora doesn't remember any of it,

and you can't tell her.

- This explains so much about your behavior.

- I know.

- But you still love her, don't you?

- I did then and I do now.

- You poor sap.

- But I know what's important here.

What's important is that we help Cora achieve her true fate.

And I need you to help me

to get them back together.

- Uh, no, no, that's crazy.

I'm not gonna meddle in my best friend's love life

like that.

- Oh, you do that

all the time.

- That's before the guy I thought was a good match,

you, got her killed in the previous lifetime?

No, no, no way, I'm out.

- No, Suzette, this is different.

This is-

- What? Destiny?

She's my best friend.

And how do you know you can even trust these guys?

- I mean, trust is kinda built

into the whole celestial concept.

- I'm sorry, Liam, I don't think I can be a part of this.

- Suzette, please.

Suzette, I need you. (door rattles)

(door smacks)

(puzzling music)

- Oh, there you are. (keyboard clicks)

- Yes, please, come in and interrupt me.

- Uh, I'm sorry, it's just that there's,

there's a new player in the Cora case.

Some ex-cop named Magnus.

He just showed up at Dante's, started hitting on Cora,

and she's not

exactly not into it,

if you know what I mean. (chuckles)

- A new player at this stage?

Uh, I mean, well, that couldn't (gasps), oh.

(keyboard clicks)

(computer beeps)

Have you seen him around?

- [Agon] Who is that?

- Well, Agon, that's Bael.

He works for the other side.

- The other side?

You mean he's, he's a...

- A nefarious counterpart who love nothing

more than meddling in my cases, yes!

At this point, it's a personal vendetta.

Ugh! This is just the sort of trick he would pull.

- But could Magnus really be working for him?

Cora remembers him from the force, like, a decade ago.

- (sighs) No, that rules out nothing.

Bael can implant false memories just as easily as we can.

Determining if Magnus is one of his agents

is gonna take so much digging.

As you can see, the files are not exactly organized.

- You know, for the Department of Destiny, we're not exactly

cutting-edge, are we? (hand taps)

- We're doing the best we can.

I will have some more angels come down

and start combing through

the files looking for Magnus.

In the meantime, you and Liam

need to keep him away from her.

- About that, um, Liam actually has, like,

a small, tiny little request.

(puzzling music)

(box thuds)

- (whistles) I'm nervous to ask.

- Yeah, these are all the files from the Brady Corporation

over the last 10 years.

- How on earth did you get them all so quickly?

- From a very weepy secretary

that I plied with tea and tissues.

She's also gonna let us know if anyone

turns the utilities on at one of their properties.

- Which could lead us to Meredith's hideouts, impressive.

So, uh, what exactly

are we gonna be looking for in these anyway?

- (sighs) I'm not even really sure.

I mean, I might be way off base with all of this.

John's murder could have just been

as simple as- - It's okay.

- You know, just coming home early,

and interrupting a burglary,

and things going sideways.

And I thought that if I took a look at John

and Meredith's business dealings,

maybe I might find some dirt.

I mean, if somebody wanted Brady dead,

it could be in those files.

- Or it could be what the Chief says.

Meredith wanted to be a

widow, she wanted to inherit,

and she hired someone to do the dirty work.

- Or that.

I mean, we just have to pursue all leads.

I have a feeling we're in for a lot of long nights.

Um, listen, I wanted- - I wanted to say...

You, you go. - No, you first.

- Okay. (exhales heavily)

I feel like I may have messed everything up with you.

And I just want you to know I'm truly sorry

that I let things get so, um.

- Weird.

- I, yeah, I'm sorry that I let things get so weird.

- Well, it's sort of your specialty.

- Not wrong there. (Cora chuckles)

It's just I would hate to lose us.

- Yeah, I would.

I would hate to lose us too.

So I am willing to give you one more chance.

(uplifting music)

You okay there, Detective?

- Oh, I'm better than okay.

- Oh, okay.

♪ Trade you all my money for your ♪

- Cora, I am

(phone vibrates)

(throat clears)

- Yeah, let's not make it weird.

- That wasn't weird. - Yeah.

- Um, you know, I'm just happy

to be back on an even keel with you.

- Me too. (throat clears)

- I do have something

really important to ask you.

- Okay.

- Cora McLeod, will you please

teach me how to drive?

I need to know how to drive.

I'm so tired of having to ask for a ride

anytime I wanna go somewhere.

- I still can't believe you never learned.

What, the wrong side of the road

is a little too much for you?

- Something like that, yeah. - Yeah.

(phone vibrates)

- So, um, who's that guy you're playing darts

with the other night anyway?

- Nope, friendly coworkers

do not dig into each other's personal lives.

- Yeah, I have to go.

I have to interview a friend of Meredith Brady's anyway.

- Oh, well, I recommend tea and tissues.

- Will do.

- Good luck!

(upbeat music)

- Come on, we'll let you know if we hear anything at all.

- Anything I can do to help.

- Suzette, you didn't tell Cora yet, did you?

- What would I even say?

I'm starting to think I made the whole thing up.

- Mm, yeah.

- Then again...

- Oh.

We need to talk, all of us, let's go.

- Uh, sir, I'm simply a customer.

Why would you? - She knows, Agon.

- Are you really an angel?

- What? You, you told her?

You just broke, like, a million rules!

- Mm-mm, I wouldn't have had to tell her

if you didn't pop out of existence

right in front of her face!

- I'm still figuring this stuff out.

I'm a little new at it.

- It's just I don't see any wings.

- They're metaphorical.

Liam, this is bad. This is very bad.

- I think it might

actually be quite good.

Cora keeps me at arm's length, right?

But she might trust Suzette.

Plus Suzette's an outsider.

She's not brought back from Ireland.

She can't get stuck in loops from the past.

- That's true. - She can help!

Especially with this Magnus character sloping in.

- About that, Samael thinks there's a chance

that Magnus might be working for the other side.

- Other side? - Wait, what?

- Our side has

angels, the other side

might have someone on the case too.

- We definitely need you.

Cora deserves a chance at a better life.

Please, help me guide her towards Finn.

- Okay, fine, I'll help,

but only because you two will clearly mess things up

if left on your own.

(door clicks)

- She might be right about that.

- Yeah.

(Cora knocks) - [Chief] Yeah.

- Chief. - Uh-huh?

- Uh, wanted to run something by you.

- Sure.

(door thuds)

- So I've been digging into the Brady business dealings.

- Hmm, I thought we were leaning towards murder for hire.

- Well, we're looking into that too,

but turns out that the Bradys made a couple

of high-profile real estate dealings with Eli Shelton.

- Hmm, and?

- Eli runs the Road Riders, the motorcycle gang.

- Oh, I don't know if they're much of a gang.

Most of 'em in their 60s,

and they do more charity work

than biking these days. - Yeah, I don't know.

Remember they were accused of running

the illicit gambling rings a while back?

- Yeah, we looked at them several times,

and they kept coming back squeaky clean.

- Then why do I feel like they still

might be a little dirty?

- Okay, chase it down, but you're gonna need an in.

They're not fans of the boys in blue

or women in blue.

- Thanks. Yeah, I'll look into it.

- Good, let me know. - Will do.

(files rustle)

(puzzling music)

Finn, how do you fit into all of this?

- Okay.

(keys clink)

What do you say?

(carefree music)

- You sure about this?

- No.

- Big brave detective man, and you're afraid of a car?

- Afraid? No, no.

Of a mechanized beast 10 times my size? No.

Could crush me if I handle it wrong, afraid? No.

- Come on, the whole future lies in uncertainty.

Live immediately.

- It's not Rousseau? - No, that one's Seneca.

- I'll have to look at it more.

Where'd you get started reading all these great thinkers?

- So my mom had this book

in college, "Essential Philosophers,"

and she would highlight some of the quotes,

and circle others, and write little notes

to herself in the margins.

And, um,

after she died, it was sort of my only glimpse

into who she was, what she thought about.

I think that it really helped me

become the person I'm supposed to be.

- That makes a lot of sense.

I mean, most people, they only see what's on the surface.

But you, you've always had this knack of going deeper,

trying to find the true meaning behind the thing.

- Um, (throat clears) it is exactly like Ireland,

only everything's reversed.

So we're gonna start by turning the car on.

- Which is this thing. (car engine revs)

- And then you're gonna put it in gear.

This one.

(gear clicks)

And then you're gonna press on the gas with your foot.

- Which is this one. - Yeah, okay, okay.

Brake, brake, brake, brake!

(Liam sighs)

- Great, good, very good.

That's done. - Oh.

- What a good lesson.

- Stop, you can't give up, no.

You're not.

- Uh, everyone should give up.

- No!

- No one should drive these.

- Okay, give me the keys. - You don't get.

- Give me the keys.

- I'm gonna throw them.

- Give them. - You shouldn't.

I, uh.

(romantic music)

- Is that Meredith?

(ominous music)

(car engine whirs)

Quick, quick, go after her. - Uh, uh, uh.

- Okay, give me the

keys. Move, move, move.

- Uh, okay, I'm

going. (throat clears)

(car engine rumbles)

Just let me get my

seatbelt on you, so whoa!

- No!

(car horn honks)

No, (sighs) she's getting away.

(Cora groans)

First hint of a lead in days, and I was (sighs).

You know what? Um.

Maybe we should chase down different leads

for a while alone.

- If that's what you think is best.

(keypad beeps)

- Hi, this is Detective McLeod.

Possible sighting on our missing person

driving a blue sedan.

- Thank you for

your consideration.

It sounds like an

incredible opportunity.

We'll be in touch, thanks.

Cora, hi.

- Hi, I was gonna call,

but I wanted to ask you about something in person.

- Good, I wanted to talk to you too about-

- I'm actually here on police business.

- Oh, okay, am I, am I in trouble?

- No, no, nothing like that.

Um, your name is just on a real estate deal

I wanted to ask you about.

- Oh.

(paper rustles)

Yeah, I did this deal

back when I was an intern

before I joined the DA's Office.

- So you know Eli Shelton?

- He was a friend of my father's.

- Great, um, do you think

that you can maybe

persuade him to talk to me?

I was just hoping to get a little insight

into how the Bradys

conduct their business.

- We're not really in touch these days.

- Oh, got it,

yeah, I understand.

Um, it's just that the Road Riders,

they don't really talk to cops.

And since he's a family friend, I,

I, I really wouldn't ask.

It, it's just that this case has been such a bear

and any hint of a lead would be helpful.

Please.

- Okay, fine, I'll do it for you.

- Really? Thank you. (chuckles)

- But I warn you, Eli is a tough nut to crack.

- I got it.

- Now?

- Yeah, now. - Okay, now.

(car engine whirs)

(car doors thud)

- Thanks for doing this. - Yeah, of course.

- So, uh, how long has it been

since you've seen this guy?

- I don't know. When did that property deal go through?

- Like, 10 years ago.

- Can I help you? (laughs)

Now, there's a face I didn't expect to see today.

Bring it in.

How long has it been, boy?

It's been a long time. - Sure,

it was good to see ya. - Yeah, likewise.

Eli, this is Cora McLeod.

- McLeod? Old Chief McLeod's daughter?

This official business she's bringing on me here, Finn?

- No, I just, I just need to ask you a couple of questions.

- Huh, a detective.

Well, missy, I've got nothing to hide here,

but, uh, I've got nothing to say to you either.

- Look, I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes.

I just need to ask you about your relationship

with John and Meredith Brady.

- Yeah, well, I'm not talking to anyone without a lawyer

unless you offer anything?

- Can I talk to you in private?

- No, Finn, it's, it's fine.

We could just find another angle.

- Yeah, well, come on back to my office.

Uh, not you, though. No offense.

(door clicks)

(puzzling music)

(distant tool rattles)

- So what's it gonna take to get you to talk to her?

- Why, Finn, you care about this girl.

Question is just how much? - Just get to it already.

- Quid pro quo as you lawyer types like to say, huh?

(footsteps clop)

Well, that works for me.

Why don't you dust it off,

meet me down at The Hog on Saturday.

You do that, I'll consider talking to your friend.

- Fine, I'll do it.

(pensive music)

(door clicks)

(door thuds)

- Send my regards to your father.

- He didn't ask you for any favors, right?

I mean, I don't want you crossing any ethical lines.

It's not worth it. - No, of course not.

I'll wait 'til he cools off and reach out again next week.

See if he's ready to talk then.

(bird chirps)

- Yeah, I, I'm telling you,

the teacher says we have to do it this way now.

- Are you sure? Because I was taught to start here.

- Okay.

- So unless they changed math,

but

okay, I, I guess they did change math, um.

- I, I think I got this one.

Yeah.

- Okay, well, just

make sure you show your work, okay?

Hey. - Hi.

- Oh my gosh, thank

you so much for coming.

- Of course, I'm useless at math tutoring,

but if anyone needs

help with their French.

(Suzette speaks French)

- Well, I need some

help packing these bags.

We keep these

first-night bags on hand

for kids that are

going into foster care.

A lot of them have to go and spend their first night,

and they have

absolutely nothing.

So I find that these really help.

So we're gonna take one of each of these

and put them in a bag.

- Have I ever told you how cool this place is?

- It's just a

little side project.

- No, it's way more than that, and you know it.

I really wish I had something like this when I was younger.

Or at least someone like you looking out for me.

- Well, you have me now.

(Suzette chuckles)

- So what's going on with this case?

- (sighs) I feel like I sort of dragged Finn in on the case.

And now, I'm worried that

he's putting himself at risk.

Do you know the Road Riders?

- Oh yeah, that sweet motorcycle club.

They make pancakes for the children's hospital, right?

- Yeah, well, I don't think they're so sweet.

My dad told me

some gnarly stories

about them back in the day.

And it seems like Finn is going to some place

called The Hog tonight to do something shady.

- The Wild Hog? That bar way out in the boonies?

- That's the one.

I was doing some digging into some property files,

and it turns out that Eli Shelton, who runs the Road Riders,

owns the bar through a shell company.

- Are you gonna

take Liam out there

and check it out tonight?

- No, if I show up in cop

mode, they're gonna lawyer up.

And also, things with Liam are weird.

- Hun, men only see what they wanna see.

If you wanna get in there, I'll get you in there.

- You're scary sometimes. I like it.

- Hmm.

(motorcycles rumble)

- Oh, I cannot believe you talked me into this outfit.

Oh, we can't let them check my ID.

- No, don't worry, people only look at the feathers.

They never check underneath to see

what kind of bird they're letting in.

Hi.

- ID, ladies.

- Oh, cutie, you think we're under 21?

Where were you back in our college days?

- Avoiding college bars like the plague.

- Smart man, do you think they'd, uh,

let me send you a drink out here?

- You can try.

Have fun in there.

- Oh, we will. Thanks so much.

- That was amazing.

Liam is officially out. You are my new partner.

- Anytime, this is fun.

(upbeat music)

- Do you see Finn anywhere?

- [Suzette] Maybe he's back there somewhere?

- Okay, this isn't just

throwing some 20s on the table.

This is organized gambling.

- So what are we betting on?

What? Sorry, you know I like a little action.

- Okay, folks, we've got (bell tolls)

the six-week undefeated champion, Zeke, here!

- Yeah!

- Yeah! Let's go, Zeke!

- And he's ready to wipe the floor with anybody

who dares to challenge him.

- Oh.

- But tonight,

we have the return of an old favorite.

Give it up for Deadeye!

(crowd cheers)

(groovy music)

- Okay, is this the start of a very vivid dream

or is that...

- Finn.

What is he doing here?

- Could be wrong, but looks like he's about

to run the table. (bell tolls)

- Suzette!

- Sorry, I couldn't resist.

(cool gritty music)

(balls clack)

- And Deadeye breaks! (crowd cheers)

(cool gritty music continues)

(balls clack)

(crowd cheers and whistles)

(cool gritty music continues)

- Two in the corner.

♪ Walk all night, yeah

♪ Yeah, walk all day

♪ Walk all night, yeah (ball clacks)

- Did you know he could do this?

- No idea.

(balls clack)

(crowd cheers and whistles)

♪ Yeah, smile at me

(crowd cheers and whistles)

- [Finn] Four in the corner.

(balls clack)

(bell tolls)

- Hooray, hooray!

Show me the money! Where'd that guy go?

(slap cracks)

(swing whooshes)

- Oh. - Hey!

- Come on, man. Hey!

Hey, what are you doing? Come on, let's go outside!

Come on, let me go!

Come on, what are you doing? Let me go!

(crowd laughs) (footsteps plod)

- Whatever, man. - Oh.

- Cora.

(door clicks)

Cora, wait.

(motorbike rumbles)

- You said Eli didn't ask you for any favors,

but then you come here

in front of that crowd against that guy.

You could have gotten hurt. - I can handle myself.

- That's not the point. You lied to me.

- Why'd you really come tonight?

- Because I was worried.

- It's nice to know you care.

- Of course, I care.

That's why I didn't want you putting your career

on the line for me.

If the DA's Office knew that you were gambling...

- Well, technically, if I'm not

profiting from it directly...

- You know, I have to call this in.

- Do what you need to do,

but you know they're not gonna find anything here.

Eli's been doing this too long.

- And how about you? How caught up are you in all of this?

- Cora.

- Great.

- Magnus.

- Stopping by for a drink.

You okay?

- We're good.

- Yeah, I was just heading out.

- Need a lift? - Okay, Cora,

please don't leave like this.

- Yeah, that would be great.

- All right.

(melancholic music)

(car engine whirs)

(upbeat music)

(notification hums)

(keypad beeps)

(glass shatters)

- Let me help you with that. Ouch.

(upbeat music continues)

- Thanks for getting me out of there.

- Yeah, that place is a little rowdy, even for me.

Surprised Finn Walsh thinks to go there.

- Yeah, I don't really wanna talk about Finn.

- Great, me neither.

(both laugh)

(notification beeps)

(throat clears) (phone rings)

- Friend of yours?

- Yeah, I'll just, uh, call her back later.

- You always did have a lot of friends.

- Uh, oh, what can I say? I'm a friendly guy.

(both laugh)

(door smacks)

- Oh hey, Finn.

- Oh hey, Suzette.

- Yeah.

- You okay?

- Yeah, yeah, I was

just helping a waitress

with some broken glass and accidentally sliced myself.

- Oh, that looks deep. Wait here.

- Hmm.

♪ Why won't you leave

(door thuds)

- Even guy bars have first-aid kits.

- Well, that's handy.

- Cora left.

- I know, she texted me.

She catch an Uber or something?

- No, Magnus drove her home.

- What do you think about that guy?

- Always been shady.

The fact that he hangs out here says a lot about him.

But who am I to judge?

- You're not a bad guy, Finn.

- Maybe not, but I did lie to her.

She is not happy with me.

- Cora's my best friend.

She's one of the most truly principled people I've ever met.

And she's amazing,

but sometimes it can be difficult

to be the person she expects you to be.

- Yeah, I feel that.

(Finn smooches)

Sorry, that was weird.

My, my mom used to do that, you know?

- It's okay, I don't mind.

(romantic music)

Um, I should probably get going.

- Suzette, I didn't mean to- - No, it's okay.

Thank you for this.

I just gotta, I gotta get going.

- Yeah.

- I'll see you later.

- You bet.

(Agon zaps)

- Oh, saint's alive, Agon.

- What?

- What'd we learn?

- You're alone. Also, why are you alone?

Is Cora on a date with Finn?

- I have no idea.

What's the point of this thing

if she won't answer me on it?

I mean, seriously.

(phone vibrates)

Cora's with Magnus right now.

What have you learned about him?

- We're still combing through files,

but even if he's not working for the other side,

it doesn't mean he can't mess things up for us.

- Well, I can't

imagine she'd actually

go for that scoundrel.

- Yeah, because she's never picked a bad boy before.

Oh, that was sarcasm. I just did sarcasm.

(car door thuds)

- Thanks for the ride. - Anytime.

I'll walk you to the door.

- Are you afraid I'll get lost?

- You never know.

- Back a little late!

- Oh, I'm sorry, I

didn't realize you two-

- Oh, we're not. He just rents my guest house.

Liam, we're fine.

- I know you're fine.

This one, I'm not so sure about, though.

- Liam.

- Are we gonna have a problem here?

- Not if you get back in your car

and go back to

wherever you came from.

- I'll see you later, Cora.

- Thanks again.

- [Magnus] Yeah, you have a good night.

- You too.

(car engine revs)

You're unbelievable. - No, no, no, no, no.

Please, please, please don't. - What are you doing?

- I'm protecting you from miscreants.

- I thought that we were keeping things professional.

This is the opposite of professional.

If you have a real reason

why I shouldn't hang out with Magnus,

I want you to tell me,

right now. (window clicks)

(melancholic music)

- I can't,

but I really, really care about you.

You can trust me on that at least, right?

- Trust has to be earned, Liam.

(footsteps rustle)

(waves crash)

(serene music)

- Oy, Liam.

- It's all right, he's a friend.

(hopeful music)

(feet stomp)

- I got your note. What's going on, Liam?

- We're running away. - What?

- And I need your help.

Here, can you pawn these

and get us the funds to buy passage to America?

- Liam, this is lunacy, right?

Sorry, lass. Well, it is like...

- Boyd, you've always been there for me.

Help me with this one last part.

- I'll tell you this much.

I'm not sure that these will be enough, right?

That, now that should help.

- That stays there.

She deserves to have something to remind her of home

and her mom, I promised her.

- I'll be back with the funds as fast I can.

- Thank you.

- You're a true friend.

(footsteps rustle)

- Well, are you sure about this?

- Where you go, I go.

(Cora gasps)

(shirt rustles)

(relaxing music)

(door clicks)

- Hey, Suzette, um,

can I talk to you for a moment?

- Yeah.

- Why was Cora with Magnus last night?

I thought she was

supposed to be with you.

- Yeah, she was,

but then she slipped the leash in all the chaos.

- Chaos, what chaos?

- Turns out Finn is a pool shark,

and he's involved in illegal gambling in a biker bar.

- Finn's what?

- Pool, billiards, he's incredible at it.

But he lied to Cora about where he was,

and she was really mad at him.

- Finn? Boring lawyer Finn?

We're talking

about the same man?

- I know, it surprised me too.

- Oh, and this is terrible.

He's driving her right into Magnus's arms,

who, if you recall, might be working for the other side.

And even if he's not, I really don't like the look of him.

- Because he reminds you of you?

- What? I'm nothing like that roughie.

We need to get Finn and Cora back together, Suzette.

Now, you, please, work on Cora

'cause she's had enough of me at the moment.

And I suppose I'll see what I can do about Finn.

(puzzling music)

(distant siren wails)

Here we go.

Finn! Morning.

- Oh, hey, Liam, I was just uh.

- Working up the courage to apologize to Cora

for last night.

- You heard about that? - Yeah, Suzette told me.

Didn't take you for a gambling man

or a billiards' bow, to be honest.

- Can you, uh, keep your voice down?

- Don't worry, we all have our little secrets,

and frankly, yours

makes you slightly more interesting.

- Yeah, well, Cora

doesn't seem to think so.

- Yeah, Cora doesn't like being deceived,

does she, by anybody?

- I know, I came here to talk to her, but I-

- Okay, so talk to her, man.

Maybe not here because she takes her job seriously.

That would be

unprofessional, yeah.

- I didn't even know what I'd say to her.

- Look, man, if you're gonna win a woman like Cora,

you're gonna have to step up, be open with her,

and tell her the truth.

You need to be the man that she needs you to be, yeah?

I mean, you know she's worth it.

(pensive music)

- [Chief] Because I'm not gonna do that.

Well, I'm not asking a lot.

No, because it's none of your business!

- [Leo] But why, it is my business.

- No, I, I don't know. - Are you kidding me?

This is over.

- Dad, what are you doing here?

- I was just discussing something with the chief.

- Everything okay? - Honey, it's nothing.

Nothing. Listen, I got an appointment.

I have to go, but I'll see you later on, okay?

(footsteps plod)

(Cora knocks)

- Sir?

- Oh yeah, yeah, mm-hmm?

- I'm so sorry, I, (sighs)

I've told him not to interfere.

- He wants me to take

you off the Brady murder.

- Sir?

- He says you're too green

for a high-profile case like this,

but I have faith in you, Detective.

So don't let me down, okay?

(door thuds)

(Cora gasps)

(lighthearted music)

(door thuds)

- Can I help you with something?

- Uh, yeah, I, I need to check out some evidence.

Thanks.

(Cora sighs)

- Oh yeah. - Thanks.

- Let me know if you need help finding anything.

- Thanks.

(box rustles)

(box thuds) (Cora sighs)

- Cora.

Everything all right? - Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I just, um, went and checked out the evidence

from the jewelry store case out of lockup.

- Memento? - Mm-hmm.

- You said that wasn't connected

to the residential larcenies or the Brady murder?

- Yeah, well, I didn't think that it was,

but I don't really know anymore.

I mean, I don't even know

if I should trust my own instincts.

- What?

(Cora sighs)

(door thuds)

What's going on?

- Maybe my dad is right.

Maybe I'm too green.

Maybe I've been

getting distracted,

and I'm, I'm just not seeing connections

that are right in front of me. (packages rustle)

(Cora exhales heavily)

This necklace, I can't explain why,

but it feels like it's connected

- Oh, there you are.

- Just wanted to let you know

that Samael is setting up a meeting

that might shed some light on this whole Magnus situation.

- That's all well and good, but I actually

have something else that I wanna ask you.

Is there any chance that Cora still

remembers our time

together back in Ireland?

- No.

- Just no?

- That would tear fissures

through the bedrock of time and space.

It would go against everything the Department of Destiny

knows about soulmates, about past lives.

- It's just sometimes she feels like she remembers

or she's about to remember.

And then our

connection is still so-

- Liam, you and Cora can't be together.

You have to help her on her fated path.

- Yeah, I, I know, it's um. (phone vibrates)

Well, we're off to meet Finn now,

so maybe you'll get your wish.

(melancholic music)

So, um, Cora, about the other day-

- I'm, I'm fine, really.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- What lies ahead for us in here?

- With Eli Shelton, I'm not sure.

Finn just texted saying that he was ready to talk, so.

- And are you ready to talk to Finn?

- What do you mean?

- I caught him lurking around the station

trying to work up the courage to come and speak to you.

- Yeah, I was a little hard on him at The Hog.

- He looked like a man who had a proper dressing down.

You know, you can be a wee bit scary

when you get your back up sometimes.

- No, when I get my back up?

You make me sound like I'm some angry cat or something.

- You're not a cat, but

sometimes slight resemblance.

So yeah. - Oh.

(romantic music)

I just hate it when people don't tell me the truth.

- I know.

- Well, we can talk more about that.

- [Eli] Okay, huh.

- Eli, good to see you.

Finn.

- Welcome, detectives.

So you're not

gonna believe this,

but uh, I remembered a couple things over the weekend.

- Oh, it's funny how that happens.

- Couple of weeks back, someone stole a whole lot of cash

from the back room of the shop.

- And you didn't report it? - Well, it's hard to report

cash from your illegal gambling ventures.

- Yeah, I can neither confirm nor deny the money's origin.

- How much are we talking here?

- Just under a million dollars.

- Are you kidding me, Eli?

What are you doing keeping that much cash on-site?

- Do you have any

surveillance? Security?

- Yeah, we had both.

- Okay, what was your relationship with John

and Meredith Brady?

- Well, that's what I wanted to show you.

(puzzling music)

Around a week before someone took our cash,

Meredith stopped by out of the blue.

- What'd she want?

- That's what was strange.

She seemed, uh, scared, in over her head like,

but when I left the room...

- (scoffs) She's casing it.

- Yeah, well, I know that now,

but I didn't see this footage until well

after all our profits had gone poof!

I kept the cash in packs of a thousand banded with these.

So if you find it,

you'll know whose it is.

- Subtle.

And if you remember anything else-

- Yeah, I'll reach out to my lawyer.

- So if Meredith was involved

in stealing the Road Riders' stash, that means she

and possibly even her

husband have been involved

in this thing from the beginning.

- And then John wasn't a random target,

and his murder likely wasn't a burglary gone wrong.

- I mean, this is looking more

and more like it's a falling out of co-conspirators.

- Mm.

- Which begs the question,

who else are they working with?

And who actually murdered him?

- Let's go find out.

- Cora.

(door creaks)

Can I talk to you?

(melancholic music)

- Yeah.

- Not here, though.

I'll text you the address.

- Um, I, I just have to take Liam back to the station,

and then I can meet up with you there.

- Okay.

(nostalgic music)

(traffic whirs)

(car door clicks)

(raven caws)

- Finn.

Thought we were meeting at a coffee shop or something.

- No, sorry, but I did bring you this.

- Suzette know that you're stepping out on her?

- What?

- Getting your coffee from somewhere other than The Cat?

- Oh, no, um, this place was just on the way.

I brought you here 'cause I wanted to show you something.

- Okay.

- This is where I grew up here.

- Here?

- It's not exactly the picture I paint,

but my parents, they were wonderful people.

He was a long-haul trucker.

She was a former debutante whose family cut her off

when she ran away with him.

- Cotillion.

- I did take cotillion, but only because my mom

was teaching classes to make ends meet.

But you know what?

They were happy here for a long time

'til he passed

away when I was 15.

- Finn, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that.

Uh, my mom passed away too when I was young.

It's just-

- Shattering.

- Yeah. - I know.

I guess we're both members of the world's worst club, huh?

- Yeah.

- Anyway, um, after that, we really struggled.

And my dad's friend, Eli,

was there to lend us a helping hand.

- Let me guess, if you just helped him

hustle a couple of suckers at the pool table...

- It started out that way, yeah.

Then it got more organized.

But it also got my mom and I outta here,

let me go to college, paid my law school.

And I was never involved in anything other than pool.

I swear to you.

To his credit, Eli kept whatever other dealings

he had with the Road Riders far away from me.

- Why are you telling me all of this?

- 'Cause my parents.

'Cause I saw what they had and when I met you

(romantic music)

gave me hope that maybe I could have that too,

someone to build a life with.

(romantic music continues)

- Yeah, I've always wanted that too, true partner.

And I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't wondered

if maybe that could be you,

even before the policemen's ball.

- And look, I'm not asking for an answer right now.

I know you have some

things you gotta sort out on your end,

and maybe I do too,

but didn't feel right to not at least tell you

how I've been feeling.

- I'm glad you did.

Thank you for being so honest with me.

Given me a lot to think about. (laughs)

- Yeah.

- Well, I should get going,

but I'll see you.

- And Cora,

be careful with Magnus.

I never could prove anything,

but back when he was on the force in Providence Falls,

he's involved with some less-than-savory people.

- Good to know. Thanks.

(traffic whirs)

(melancholic music)

- [Dominic] Ah,

oh, you're so done.

- Just doesn't, it

doesn't make any sense.

- Spamming it doesn't help.

- Liam.

- Just stop

mashing the buttons.

- Hi!

- I didn't know that you still came by here.

- Oh, came by? (chuckles)

Can't get rid of him.

(players chuckle)

- Here, take over.

I'll help you out.

- Thanks, I didn't realize

that you were still volunteering here.

- I like to keep an eye on Dominic and the others.

Make sure they're keeping their noses clean.

- It's really nice of you.

- Well, a long time ago,

someone saw the best in me,

changed the way that I thought about myself.

Maybe I can help him do that too,

if only for a little while.

- You're a good man, Liam.

- Mm, debatable.

- I mean it.

(romantic music)

- So as you know, I like being here.

Makes me feel closer to you.

And when I see you here,

you really just come alive.

(bag zips)

(romantic music intensifies)

(lighthearted music)

- [Leo] You know what, we're gonna get you

on fishing for a change of pace.

I think that'll do you good.

- Dad, how you doing? - Hey!

- Um, I'm running late.

I'll, uh, see you later, McLeod.

- Catch you later, pal.

- He okay?

- Yeah, he's just, uh,

adjusting to retirement.

He's having a hard time leaving the job behind.

- I could say the same thing about you.

I talked to Chief Thompson, Dad.

He told me you tried to get me off the Brady case?

- I'm just trying to protect you, Cora.

I know it's a tough

break catching a murderer

this early in your career, especially if you can't land it.

- Dad, what I need is your support

and for you to trust that I know how to do my job well.

- I do. I'll step back, I promise.

- Thank you. Okay. - See you later.

- Oh wait, Dad, um.

Do you remember Magnus Cartwright?

- Yeah, I remember him.

- What about him?

- Well, there's some allegations about him being dirty,

but there was never any proof.

He left before an

investigation could start.

- Any idea what he did after he left the force?

- Well, I think he

worked private security

at the MacArthur Building for a bit,

and then he went to Seattle.

What's going on?

- Probably nothing. Um, thanks.

- If you want, I...

You got this.

- Thank you.

Ah, hi, emergency best friend meeting?

- Ooh, my favorite kind.

I'm almost done here, give me a sec.

- Okay, I'll meet you upstairs.

(footsteps plod)

- Okay, so what's this meeting about?

Your tangled love life?

Because I have some thoughts.

So who's in the lead? Liam, Finn?

- Magnus.

- Really? Thought he was more of a distraction.

- No, no, no, no, uh.

I think Magnus might be involved in the case.

The MacArthur Building,

where he worked after he left the force,

not only do the Bradys own it,

but it's where the Brady Corporation's headquartered.

So he did know them.

Magnus did invite me over to his house for drinks tonight,

and I was gonna turn him down,

but maybe now- - Magnus?

He might be dangerous. Are you sure you'll be safe?

- Yeah, I'm not gonna

confront him or anything.

I know how to take care of myself.

- You really do.

- Well, I have a case to solve,

but after that, I

really do need girl talk

because the whole Liam-Finn of it all.

- Oh, I knew it!

So I will bring Little Marge,

you bring the romantic crisis,

and we'll figure the whole thing out.

But until then, you better go and catch the bad guys.

- Love you.

- Hey, Cora, be careful.

- Of course, I will.

(footsteps plod)

- Well, well, well, the great Samael

reaching out to me for a meeting.

I thought hell would freeze over first.

Ooh.

- Now, I just need to know

if you're sticking your dirty little fingers

into my cases again, Bael.

- Well, that is a

favorite pastime of mine.

- (laughs) Yes.

- You know, your little minion can join us.

He doesn't have to

skulk behind the trees.

(Samael sighs)

- Come on. (paper rustles)

- You, you need me?

- I highly doubt anyone needs you.

- Okay, I just

need you to tell me

if you have an agent working on this case.

- Oh, you expect an honest answer

to a direct question, Samael?

What is this, your first eon?

- Hardly, but you're just as easy to read now

as you were back then.

Oh, you do have an agent working, don't you?

- You don't expect me to name names, do you?

I never kiss and tell.

- (chuckles) I don't have time to sit here

and listen to your lie.

(fingers click) (Samael zaps)

(foreboding music)

- She's not as all-knowing as she seems, minion.

You'd do well to keep that in mind.

(Agon zaps)

- I don't know. That's why I'm calling you.

You tell me. (chuckles)

Uh, well, let me know, yeah. (Liam knocks)

Okay, I'll talk to you soon.

Okay, bye. (phone beeps)

- Chief.

- Hey.

- I think Cora may have found something.

- Really?

- Yeah, the Brady secretary just called.

She's been keeping an eye on the utilities

for all those

uninhabited properties

that Brady Corporation owns,

and someone just turned on the lights at one of them.

It's a cabin out at 52 Stony Way.

Could be nothing, but also could be-

- Meredith Brady's hideout, interesting.

- Cora's already gone home for the night,

but I was thinking maybe you give me a ride,

and we check it out?

- You know, unfortunately, I'm in for the long haul,

but I'll tell you

what, you go out front,

and I'll send a uniform and a car out for you in five.

- Righto. Thanks, old friend. - Yeah, no problem.

- All good?

- No, I gotta head outside.

(thrilling music)

(siren wails)

- What, Boyd?

Boyd, what? Hours.

(car engine rumbles)

- Liam.

- Finn. Cora's not here, man.

She went home.

- I was actually looking for you.

You waiting on someone?

- Yeah, a ride that seems to have forgotten about me.

- Well, I'm done for the night. Need a lift?

- Yeah.

(car door clicks)

(car door thuds)

So, ah, it looks like

it's just a left up here.

Thanks for the ride again, by the way.

It's probably another dead end.

- This gives us a chance to chat.

There's something I've been

wanting to say to you actually.

- And what might that be?

- I know there's maybe something between you

and Cora that you're trying to figure out,

but you went out of your way to give me the push

I needed to be honest with her.

I just, I want you to know that I appreciated that.

- Oh, you really are just

an annoyingly decent person, aren't ya?

- Thank you.

- Well, if it can't be me,

I guess I can live with it being you.

So I like you slightly better

now that I know that you stepped off the straight

and narrow a time or two with the billiards and all.

- You play?

- No, where I'm from,

that's a rich man's game.

- Where I'm from, it's either how you get rich

or how you can lose all your money.

- Mm.

- So one time,

I even got this guy's best man to bet against him.

- Go on.

- So he had the whole wedding party there.

Groom was telling some story about...

Is that door open? That's strange.

(car doors thud)

- Stay behind me.

(puzzling music)

Hello, anyone home?

- Anyone here? Liam, she's not here.

- Where are you?

She was.

(suspenseful music)

Someone got her out of here in a hurry.

- Samael,

think I found it.

(file flicks)

- Okay, okay, okay. (gasps)

Oh, thank the Maker, he's

not an agent for either side.

- That's great news. He's not working for Bael!

- Well, no, he could still be a problem

for our case, though.

- Right, um, but I don't know

if he's the most pressing

issue we're facing right now.

I was, uh, looking at Liam and Cora's tapes.

- What? Again?

- I know, but what's to stop things

from reaching the same tragic end?

(dramatic music)

(crowd chattering indistinctly)

(Cora gasps)

- [Liam] Cora!

(car engine whirs)

(Cora knocks)

(door clicks)

- Hey, you.

- So when you said a little vacation home,

this was not what I was expecting.

- Come on in.

(sensual music)

- Wow.

- You like?

- Yeah.

- Ah, white or red?

- Ah, white would be great.

- Got it.

- Ah, where is your bathroom?

- Ah, just upstairs.

- I'll find it.

- Okay, uh, up the stairs

and, uh, down the hall.

- Thanks.

(footsteps plod)

(sliding door rustles)

(scheming music)

(drawers click)

(scheming music continues)

(Cora gasps)

(bag rustles)

(shutter clicks)

(Cora gasps) (keypad clicks)

- Cora!

(bag rustles)

There's a bathroom out in the hall.

- Just used yours.

How am I supposed to poke

through your medicine cabinet out there?

- Now, you find anything good?

- Surprisingly boring, Magnus.

- Ah, we'll see if we can fix that.

Wine?

- I'd love some.

(footsteps plod)

- Forensics are on their way. (phone vibrates)

No, no, Cora's in trouble.

She's at Magnus's lake house.

- What?

- I'll put in the call.

How fast can you get us a 10 Bedford Street?

- As fast as she'll go.

(car engine whirs)

- Police are 15 out, so we have to get there.

We can't let anything happen to her.

Not again.

- This is amazing.

Is this actually quince on here?

- It is.

- Wow, you really pulled out all the stops.

Feel like I have to

record this for posterity.

Ah, I left my phone in my car.

I'm just gonna go get it.

- Your phone's in your pocket.

I really wish you hadn't look under that bed.

Take off your sidearm and

give me your phone, Detective.

(gun clacks)

- Police are on their way.

(Magnus chuckles)

- No, they're not.

You didn't have time to make the call.

It doesn't have to go like this.

We can just talk.

- You're in this thing deep, aren't you?

That phone call you got,

that was Meredith Brady, wasn't it?

Where is she, Magnus?

- She wouldn't tell me!

Don't worry, we'll find her.

- Finn was right about you.

You're up to your neck in dirty dealings.

- Finn can't see the bigger picture,

but I think you can.

I think you're smarter than him.

So if you keep your mouth shut, we'll cut you in.

You can have all of this.

- See, this is why we

never would've worked out.

You don't know me at all.

(bottle shatters) (footsteps plod)

(suspenseful music)

(Cora pants)

(footsteps clop)

(tires screech)

(car doors thud)

- [Magnus] Cora!

- [Cora] Please help!

- Cora!

Cora!

It doesn't have to be like this, okay?

We can figure this out.

- How's she doing?

You know, Magnus is in custody.

We have you to thank for that.

- Takes a lot to make me scared, and that scared me.

- Well, handled yourself pretty well

for a buttoned-up lawyer.

(Finn scoffs)

Surprised me.

- Listen, I, um, I saw what happened between you

and Cora by the docks.

- Oh, Finn, no, no, that was just, um.

- No, it's good that

everything's out in the open.

I'll take a step back since that's what Cora wants.

- It's not, though. You don't have to do that.

- Liam, it's okay.

If it's not gonna be me, I'm glad it's you.

(door clicks)

I'm just gonna sit with her for a minute

if that's okay.

- Yeah, yeah, of course.

(nostalgic music)

- [Suzette] Liam, hey, I got your message.

What's going on? Is Cora okay?

- Ah, yeah, she's gonna be fine.

Yeah.

- Thank goodness.

What happened?

- Well, we caught the bad guy.

Well, at least, but, um,

in the process, I kind of kissed Cora.

- Liam, what about your mission?

- I don't know.

I don't know how to get them together

after what just happened.

- Don't worry, we'll, we'll figure something out.

(phone vibrates)

I gotta get this. - Yeah.

- Hey, don't give up hope. It's not over yet.

(foreboding music)

(siren wails)

(door creaks)

(distant car horn honks)

- Well?

- Mission accomplished, Bael.

She's still in love with Liam,

and I don't think she'll be getting back

on the angel's faded path with Finn anytime soon.

- Excellent work, Suzette.

I knew you could do it.

- Thank God, there you are.

What happened?

(ECG monitor beeps)

- [Liam] Well,

everything's a mess, Agon.

- Is, is Cora...

- She's gonna be fine. - Mm.

- But, um,

Cora and I kissed down by the dock.

- You kissed?

No, wait, that,

oh, that's, that's bad, Liam.

That's, that's really bad.

- Yeah, I'm sorry, man.

I just, whatever's between us is stronger than we thought,

and I don't know what else to do.

Agon,

what are you doing?

(device beeps)

(Samael zaps)

- (throat clears) It's better be important, Agon,

if you were summoning me to earth.

Ugh, wonderful.

What fresh disaster have you wrought upon us?

- I was about to ask you two the same thing.

Cora nearly died last night.

- What?

- Because you two

are so eager to recreate the past.

- Okay, I, I think you still do not understand

what's at stake here.

We did send your souls back down here for one last chance

to determine your fates for good, but the truth is,

one of those fates is bigger than the others.

- Cora.

- Mm.

- Do you know what her fate actually is?

What it is that she's supposed to accomplish?

- No, you just said that she needed

to be with Finn to do it.

Is it to do with her job like,

like, she's catching bad guys or something?

- No, it's, uh, it's bigger than that.

It's Second Chances.

- Her charity.

- Mm-hmm, back in the 1840s, Cora was destined

to start Second Chances.

Back then, it would've taken the form of orphanages

and the halfway houses, but it would have grown

changing hundreds of thousands of lives.

People who were stuck on the wrong path

would've gotten the help that they needed.

People like you, people like-

- Like Dominic. - Yeah.

We gave all of you a second chance here on earth,

but if she is allowed to achieve her true fate,

then she can give that same opportunity

to millions of others.

- Okay, so what

you're saying is...

Cora is a unique soul, truly good,

and strong-willed enough to create that good in the world.

- But, um,

she can only accomplish that

with someone truly good by her side.

- [Agon] Someone like...

- Finn.

- But it's not too late.

If we can just get Cora back on track with Finn,

that should be enough to save her life.

- Yeah.

- So there you have it, the whole truth.

(throat clears)

- What are you gonna do, Liam?
