Nah.

Come on.

Grub was jumpin' the fence.

-What? -With Charlotte.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

I saw them in town a couple of times

in out-of-the-way places.

Everyone knows.

Except Kate?

Well, what am I supposed to do with this?

Unless any new evidence comes to light,

we're closing the case.

What about...Haggis?

The affair?

What affair?

Emma, go to your room.

Apparently, Grub and Charlotte had been meeting.

I mean, maybe the guilt tipped him over the edge.

Or maybe...

[Footsteps depart quickly]

We'll look into it.

Yeah. Haggis does not like people touching his things.

Come on, Dad. Let's get a cuppa.

Okay.

This must be a shit time for you.

Pretty much.

Hey, random question. Have you seen your dad's watch?

First thing Dad'd do is take his boots off

and wash his hands.

If he ever took it off, it would've been here.

Not a peep.

They're neighbors. Friends. Charlotte's a friend.

She brought food.

I'm not surprised. I'm a fucking mess.

Who would want to tap this?

The whole town must be fuckin' laughing at me.

Hey. No one is laughing at you.

Is Kate gonna be okay?

You know her better than me.

Grub's ready to come home when you are.

Undertaker's standing by.

Yes, we were meeting in secret.

No, we were not having an affair.

I was trying to get him to sell the farm.

[Chuckles] Took a lot of persuading.

We met multiple times over the last three months

in out-of-the-way places,

intimate places.

Not the best choice in hindsight.

I can understand how people got the wrong idea.

Haggis has struggled with the rumors, but he's a big boy.

I'm sure he'll cope.

And since when do you sell real estate?

You know me. Lots of fingers in lots of pies.

And was he going to sell the farm?

Nothing on paper, but, yeah.

Either way, there's motive.

If Charlotte was lying about the affair,

What do you think about this affair?

Well, something was going on.

Spit it out.

So why were you so adamant that

it was a suicide when you knew Haggis had a motive?

Yeah. Yeah, just in...

just in passing.

Don't get into his pocket.
