- 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.

(tire screech)
(honk)

- [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.

- Did you know he could do this?

- No idea.

- 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

to you and to me.

- Maybe there's a
reason for that.

- 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

- Yeah, I, I know, it's um.

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.

(paddle swooshes)
(Cora grunts)

(paddle smacks)

- How's she doing?

- Yeah, doctors are gonna

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?
