All language subtitles for Ainsley McGregor Mysteries A Case For The Watchmaker 2026 1080p WEB-DL HEVC x265 BONE

You have it?

It's good.

Wait! Stop! Please!

Don't do this!

You don't understand
what's happening here, okay?

No, no! Please!

-[gunshot]
-[screams] No!!!!

[Ainsley] There haven't been
any major crimes in Sweet River

for a while now.

I guess that's not a bad thing.

[Gladys] For book club it is.

But is it for the Novel
Crimes Club, huh?

-[all groan]
-Novel?

How about the Plot
Thickens club?

Mmm.

Murder by The Book... club.

Still just Book Club, then?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

No major crimes is definitely
a good thing,

but we need something else
to investigate.

Well, I did come up
with an idea.

We could try to solve
some cold cases.

Unsolved crimes that have
stymied authorities.

Like Bigfoot.

Uh... Bigfoot isn't
an unsolved case.

Come on, everyone knows
it's just a guy

in a Chewbacca costume
messing with people.

Yeah, it doesn't need
to be high-profile.

Perhaps we could find something
a little closer to home.

It's the perfect way for us
to continue what we're doing

without getting into
any real trouble.

Professor.

Yes, Lily.

I found a Texas Cold
Case Foundation

that catalogs unsolved murders,

disappearances,
and suspicious deaths.

Check this out.

Cold case, about a Sweet River
man who mysteriously died

while out on a hike
10 years ago

right here in Beacon Hill Park.

[Lily] That would be
a good case.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

What?

Did I say something wrong?

-Yes.
-Yes.

That man who died
was Maria's husband.

Oh, no.

I am so sorry.

We didn't know.

My husband didn't just die
mysteriously, Ainsley.

He was murdered.

Maria, if I had known.

It was my fault.

-It's okay.
-Sorry.

All of you.

Kevin and Lily you're too young
to know anything about it

and, Ainsley, you weren't
even here then.

Every now and then, I think
the grief had subsided a little.

And then it sneaks up
on me out of nowhere...

like tonight.

If you ever need anyone
to talk to,

you know I'm always
here for you.

Thank you.

I just need a few minutes.

You all know the story.

-Yeah.
-You can fill them in.

I can't even believe
I suggested

looking into a local cold case
without considering

it could have affected
one of us.

Mark Reval.

Was he related to the mayor?

Jane is his sister.

And the two of them couldn't
have been more different.

She was running for mayor
the first time

when they found him
in the ravine

by the falls that morning.

Hm.

The official report
ruled it an accident.

So technically,
it's not a cold case.

Well, it depends on who you ask.

There are a lot of questions
surrounding this case.

And if you ask me, I think Jane
had something to do with it.

His own sister?

That woman is so crooked

if she swallowed a nail,
she'd spit out a corkscrew.

Oh, you can't possibly
believe that.

Baby girl, when you've been
around as long as I have,

you never rule out anything.

What makes Mark's
death suspicious?

Well, for starters,

who goes out hiking in
the middle of the night?

In the winter.

Through the snow.

That's just the tip
of the iceberg.

Maria, we don't need
to revisit this.

No. If we're going to study
a cold case here in book club,

we might as well start
with this one.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I've spent so many years
trying not to think about it,

but it's impossible.

If nothing else, it might
give me some closure.

Hey, if I started with, it was
a dark and stormy night

would that be too much
of a cliché?

[exhales] It was
our anniversary.

Mark had gotten our regular
sitter to watch the kids.

Booked us a table for two
at our favorite restaurant.

[Maria] But in the weeks leading
up to that night,

Mark was acting strangely.

There were mysterious
phone calls

in the middle of the night,

and any time I asked him
what was going on,

he would just shut down.

In the middle of dinner,

Mark got another call,
said he had to go home

and deal with something, but
he wouldn't tell me what it was.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I remember our babysitter

was surprised we were home
so early.

The kids had just gone to bed.

Honey, what's going on?

-Nothing.
-Talk to me.

It's going to be okay.
It's going to be okay.

And that was the last time
I saw Mark alive.

And you don't think Mark's
death was an accident?

It wasn't.

I know in my heart
there's more to the story.

At first, I thought

it must have something
to do with the watch.

A watch?

Mark's grandfather's watch,
it was a family heirloom.

Mark was very protective of it.

I only ever saw him wear it
once the day we got married.

And aside from that one day,

it was always locked away
in the safe.

It says here that Valentin Reval
was rumored to be

the first watchmaker to use
a flying ruby set...

tourbillion.

-Tourbillon.
-Tourbillon.

And his watch is making them
some of the most valuable

in the world.

Did you ever have it appraised?

He never told me a specific
number, but it was significant.

There were always
watch collectors

trying to contact him,
offering to buy it, but...

Mark always politely
turned them away.

That watch was a symbol of
Mark's family's survival.

To him, it was priceless.

Maybe he had gotten into
some trouble and had to sell it,

but deep down, I didn't think
that could be the reason.

But my mind, it was desperate

for some crumb of
an explanation.

If I'd never seen
that watch again,

I would have accepted
that as the explanation but...

A few days later...

there it was.

So it must have been
something else.

It wasn't about the watch.

Maria, I can't imagine what it
feels like to have endured

what you have.

But as far as book club,

I don't think it's our place
to dredge all of this up.

We're not here to discuss books

or solve crimes
or anything else.

That's just window dressing.

The real reason we're in this
club is to remind ourselves

that we're not alone,
and to help each other.

Tonight made me realize
that I need help with this.

Even if we never solve
the case,

just to understand
what happened,

it would mean so much
to me.

So what do you say?

I'm in.

Me too.

Definitely in.

Count me in.

Well, that Bigfoot Chewbacca
angle is pretty intriguing,

but I guess I'm in too.

I guess we found our next case.

[Ainsley] Look at the position
of his body.

He was dead for some time
before they found him.

The current of the river could
have affected his position.

Well, the old coroner's
report lists

multiple musculoskeletal
fractures

in both arms.

Shattered wrists.
Forearms, elbows.

Thanks for getting the Cyra,
really helpful.

Yeah. Of course.
No problem.

It's a bit before my time.

I had to dig way back in
the database to get it.

Body position not consistent
with the injuries.

Something is hinky here.
-Mmhmm.

Can you please find your own
words, all right?

Hinky is my word.
My office, my word.

Soon you're going to want to
be the Sheriff, aren't you?

Mm. No, I don't look good
in brown.

Speaking of,
I love your coat.

Where did you get that?

Oh, thanks. There's a vintage
pop-up in town.

I'll take you.

You know, instead of hinky,
you could have said fishy

because the body was
found in water.

I don't know why you're wasting
your time with this.

This is the easiest cold case
in the world to solve.

It's not even a cold case.
It's a lukewarm case.

I went to middle school
with a guy named Luke Warm.

True story.

Mark was a gambler.
He probably owed some debts.

Tried to use the watch
to pay them off

and got killed in the process.

Wait, so you agree
he was murdered?

I didn't agree to anything.

Don't put words in my mouth.
I didn't say murdered.

You said killed.
I have witnesses.

I heard it.

You know he became a weatherman.

Who?

Luke Warm.

Perfect name for a weatherman.

Right. It's like born
to do the job.

Shouldn't you be at the station
waxing your truck or something?

No.

Fire Chief don't do that.

All I'm saying is that
Mark could have been killed,

but not necessarily.

But if he was trading his watch
to pay off debts,

why was he still wearing it
when they found him?

Because gangsters aren't usually
in the watch business.

If you owe them money,
you have to pay them money.

Still, it had value.
Why wouldn't they take it?

Maybe they didn't have... time.

Can we wrap this up?

Just admit this is not
a lukewarm case.

Okay, fine. How would you like
me to refer to it?

Hinky.

Uh-huh.

[groans]

It is pretty hinky.

Oh, Ains, and I are meeting
at Dooley's in a little bit,

if you want to join.
We could invite Ryan,

make it a double date.
-Yeah.

[laughs] Double date?

Oh, that's just a saying.
Just a figure of speech.

Me and Ryan, you think I would
actually date someone

who wears a cowboy hat
to work?

It's called a Stetson.

Anyway, here's a photocopy
of the police report.

I had to get somebody to show
me how to use the photocopier.

That thing is intense.

Thank you, Deputy Trainee.

You're welcome.

-Chief...

I'd love to join, but it's
trivia night down at Yonders.

Let me know if you need
anything else, okay?

-Okay. Bye.
-Bye, Cyra.

Bye.

Do you know who D. Barnes is?

Dalton Barnes, yeah,
he's the former Sheriff

before Ryan took over.

Are you okay?

Do you think I'm doing
the right thing?

The right thing?

I didn't come to Sweet River to
meddle in everyone else's lives.

I came here to sort through
my own.

Mm.

You know, something my
grandmother used to say,

the right thing and the most
difficult thing

are usually the same thing.

Hm.

You didn't answer my question.

Oh, yes, I did.

I gotta go check in
at the station

but I will see you later.

Yes.

Bye.

[upbeat country music]

Now that boy didn't stand
you up, did he?

Well--

You know, you stand up
a girl in Texas,

well, that's as welcome
as a wet shoe.

He's gonna be on his knees
begging to get her back.

No, he's not standing me up.

He just had to stop
at the fire station.

Well, you let me know if
you need anything, darling.

Okay.

Hey, there he is.

How you doing?

Chief, I was kind of worried
about you.

I'm all right.

You're cutting it close.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I know, I know, no work
on dates.

I will put my computer away
in two seconds.

One. Two. Three.

Three and a half,
three and three quarters.

-Okay, okay.
-Four.

Work over, date on.

When do you ever stop working?

It's true. I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize.
It's what I love about you.

Can I just tell you one thing
about the case.

Sure.

Okay. Mark's grandfather
was one of the most famous

watchmakers in Russia.

He made very prestigious
watches for royalty.

But World War II completely
destroyed his company,

his workshops and his
entire inventory.

So Mark's watch was more
than just a family heirloom.

I mean, who knows
how many were left?

Well, according to what
I could find on the net,

Mark's might be the only one.

That's like finding a Picasso
in your basement.

It's like finding
the only Picasso

in existence in your basement.

Wow.

Somebody must have
figured out what he had.

Maria said that Mark was getting
strange phone calls

in the middle of the night
that upset him.

But he wouldn't tell her
what they were about.

So maybe the watch became
too much of a liability.

So he decided to sell it to the
person who was threatening him.

No, except he didn't.

The watch was still on his wrist
when they found him.

Right.

Could have gotten smashed before
he made the transaction.

If you break a priceless watch,
does that make it worthless?

Mm.
It depends how broken it is.

Is a Picasso still a Picasso
if you take a chainsaw to it?

Really need to see this watch.

Jake Trenton?

[laughs] Hey.

Mayor Reval.

No, no, no, none of
that mayor stuff.

You knew me when
I had pimples and braces.

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Yeah. Um...

How rude of me.

You must be the famous
Ainsley MacGregor.

You own Bless Your Arts, right?

Yes. That's me.

Oh, well, I apologize,

I haven't come by your store
to introduce myself.

City Hall just keeps me busy.

But I respect what a community
leader you've become.

Bless Your Arts is such
an innovative business.

And then of course,
the work with your brother

in solving those murder
cases a couple of months ago

that was nothing short
of remarkable.

It's so nice
to finally meet you.

Thank you.
It's very nice to meet you, too.

So another case?

Oh, just doing some research.

Well, enough of
my blathering on.

I will let the two of you get
back to your meeting.

Ainsley, the pleasure is mine.

JT, don't be a stranger.

We should, uh, find a time
to catch up.

All right then.
Bye bye.

Bye.

She's got my vote.
-[laughs]

Oh. Hi, George.

Hey, George.

Dooley's does a mean
brisket sandwich,

but there's no way

that I would dream
of finishing it

and not sharing it with my best
four-legged friend.

Come on.

[George barks]
-Yes.

Somehow he's never
as enthusiastic

when I bring home
a chopped salad.

Well, in the rock, paper,
scissors of food,

brisket always beats salad.

-Oh, is that so?
-Mmhmm.

What beats brisket?

More brisket?

Are you teaching later today?

No, not today.

I'm meeting Cyra at this
little pop-up

to do some shopping.

Nice.

Yeah, and then we have
book club tonight.

Mm.

So you and Jane went
to high school together.

Yeah, yeah.
Sweet River Secondary.

Old friend of mine.

That means you must have
also known Mark.

Not really.

I mean, I met him a few times,

but his family sent him
to boarding school.

He was always getting
in trouble, I think.

You know Ryan's theory
about him,

you know, getting
gambling debts.

It checks out.

Maria never mentioned anything
about Mark being a gambler.

Maybe he hid it from her.
-Hmm.

Back to Jane--

You know what,
I'm just looking at the time.

I gotta get going.

Oh. Come on.
You're not going to tell me.

I'm a big girl,
I can take it.

Uh, tell you what.

What do you think, JT...

Were you and Jane more
than friends in high school?

Were you... boyfriend
and girlfriend?

Okay, fine.
Yes. We are going to do this.

Uh, yes we were.

Okay, let me guess.

You were quarterback
and she was prom queen.

Yeah. Well, you--

Yes. You nailed it. Yeah.

Really?

-Mmhmm.
-That is so cute.

Why didn't you want
to tell me that?

Well, no, it's not that
I didn't want to tell you.

It's just... it's not important.
It's ancient history.

Oh, of course it's important.
It's your history.

And how silly would that be
if I was jealous

of your teenage
puppy love romance.

Well, it was a little more
serious than that.

High school sweethearts?

We almost got engaged.

Oh. Oh, wow.

But... but I called it off.
We were just way too young.

I don't think she ever really
got over it. I mean...

I'm kind of the one
that got away.

Anyway, um, that is
ancient history.

I... I don't know why
I said that. Um...

but you are absolutely right.

I should have told you
and next time... I will.

Or not, you know.

Maybe we don't have to
tell each other everything.

Okay. Um, I actually do have
to go this time.

But I will, um...
I will see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Bye.

[whimpers]

What do you think of the mayor,
Georgie?

[George whines]

Oh, yeah. You're right.

She could spend more time
creating off-leash parks

and less time bothering
the fire chief.

[sighs]

[Cyra] The autopsy report didn't
find any pulmonary edema.

Mm. No water in the lungs
means Mark didn't drown.

Plus, the defensive wounds
on his arms

indicate he hit the ground,
not the water.

Well, you know the spot

in the park where he fell,
right?

We've hiked there before.

Yeah, I think so.

The river is really narrow
at that point.

So... so somebody dragged
his body into the water?

Possibly. Post mortem
is my guess.

I'm going to go try these on.

Okay.

Let me know if I can help you
find anything you like.

Uh. Oh, yeah.

I don't need any help
finding something I like.

You've got great stuff here.

I appreciate that.

Ah, it's too bad.

I'm going to have
to close tomorrow.

I guess they found someone

to pick up the lease
on the storefront.

Such is the life
of a pop-up shop.

You're Ainsley McGregor,
aren't you?

Yes. Have we--

No, no, no, but I know
all about you from Maria.

I'm Pippa.

I used to babysit for her
and her sister-in-law.

Right, Pippa.
Yeah, Maria's mentioned you.

Oh, we don't take cash.

Uh, you can pay by card,

but off your phone
is usually easiest.

Right.
Yeah. I, um, I'm still not

used to paying for things
off of my phone.

No worries.

Um, here, I can...
I can get that for you.

Okay. Uh, yeah.

Yeah. Here.

Well...

Ready.

And there we go.

All good.

Great. Thanks.

What did you decide on?

All of it.

I sure hope some more autopsies
come in

so I can pay off my credit card
bill after all this.

Uh, coroners don't work
on commission.

Look, I have to buy
as much as I can

because they're
closing tomorrow.

Well, what are you going to do
with all your inventory, Pippa?

Something will work out.
It always does.

Wait. You could rent one of the
big spaces at Bless Your Arts.

One of our vendors just left.

You could move in immediately,
if you'd like.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, thank you! Thank you,
thank you, thank you!

This is amazing news.

Yeah, unfortunately, not for me
and my credit card bill.

[knocks]

Hey you two.

Ainsley asked me to bring
photos of Mark

for the board tonight.

Use whichever ones you like.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah.

Oh. I can't believe

I didn't even think
to see if Pippa

wanted to open her
pop-up in here.

Oh, thank you for making
it happen.

Oh. My pleasure.
She'll fit right in.

Mmhmm.

So, are you excited
about tonight?

I'm always excited
for book club.

Because if you're not--

Ainsley... stop it.

I'm fine.

Okay. I'm sorry.
I... I won't ask you again.

Before everyone gets here, can
I ask you a couple of questions

about the watch?

Sure, but I really don't
know much about it.

It's still in the safe at home.
I haven't opened it in years.

I can show it to you
if you want.

Yes.

I was gonna ask you anyway,
if you wouldn't mind coming

by my house to water
my seedlings.

I'm taking Samantha to visit
the boys at school.

Yeah. Of course.
No problem.

Thank you.

I can text you the combination
to the safe.

Yeah, it's probably better
I'm not there anyway.

You can even take it.

I'd rather not see the watch
in the state it's in.

Okay. I promise I'll be
very careful.

There's no damage you
could do to that watch

that hasn't already been done.

Okay. Let's start
with what we know.

Yes, yes.
The known knowns.

It's what they're called.

The things that we know
that we know,

as opposed to
the unknown knowns,

the things we don't know
that we know.

Then there's the
unknown unknowns,

the things we don't know
we don't know.

And of course, finally,
there's the known unknowns,

the things we know
we don't know.

How about we just
keep it simple.

Okay.

Wonderful idea.

Okay, we know that Mark
was meeting someone

the night he was murdered,

and that it might have had
to do with the watch.

Clandestine meetings,
mysterious phone calls

in the middle of the night.

It's safe to assume that he was
in some kind of trouble.

This is the spot where
Mark's body was found.

Oh.

What?

Ironically, that's also
very near the pond

where Mark first proposed

under a gorgeous
weeping willow tree.

Nice work, Deputy.

Deputy Trainee.

Let's discuss Mark's background.

Is there anything about his past
that might be relevant here?

We aren't going to get anywhere
by being polite.

I know what I signed up for.

There were rumors Mark had
a gambling problem.

[all] Mmhmm.

Did he?

He got into some trouble
when he was younger,

but as a husband and father,

he never would have
done anything

to put us in harm's way.

He even put all the bank
accounts in my name,

just to make sure there was
never any doubt in my mind.

And there wasn't.

What about the arrest?

Mark had been hanging around
a guy named Rance Moesby,

a local pawnshop owner
in town.

He and Rance were working
on something,

but Mark wouldn't tell me
what it was.

One night, Mark must have
been followed

because the police raided
Rance's store when he was there.

Charges?

Running an illegal
gambling ring.

But Mark was the only
one arrested.

You can't run a gambling
ring by yourself.

Mark was not gambling
that night.

It was a setup.

Mm.

I suspect the police
were involved.

Our previous Sheriff was a man
named Dalton Barnes.

Mark's sister, Jane was just
about to be elected mayor.

And there were rumors that
those two didn't get along.

There was a power struggle
between them.

But what would that have
to do with the pawnbroker?

Maybe Mark was just a pawn
in the game.

Why do I even try?

What kind of relationship did
Mark have with his sister?

Complicated.

Jane tried to help Mark
get the charges dropped,

but he refused.

Said he didn't trust her.

Who else knew about the watch?

As far as I know,
just Jane and me.

Mark didn't even let the kids
know he had it.

Was Mark left-handed?

Mmhmm. How did you know?

Well, he's holding the cake
cutting knife

with his left hand,

and the watch
is there on his right.

It's harder to sell a watch
built for a southpaw.

Maybe he was talking to Rance
Moesby about buying the watch.

No, he wouldn't try and fence
a watch that expensive

through a local pawnbroker.

Maybe Rance knows a guy
who knows a guy.

I think a reasonable place
to start

is with Mr. Moesby tomorrow.

[Ainsley] Mark was left-handed.

Yet he wore his watch
on his right arm.

But in the crime scene photos,
the watch was on his left.

Well, maybe he didn't care
what arm his watch was on.

Well, we're here.

This is where Mark liked
to hang out?

Yeah. Maybe we'll get a great
deal on a Betamax VCR.

-[buzzer]
-[knocks]

Yes?

Uh, hi.
Are you open?

[unlocking multiple deadbolts]

Oh, here we go.

Oh, you fire department
donkeys

just can't get enough
of your inspections, can you?

Always have to pop by

and make sure everything
is up to code.

What are you here for
this time Chief, hm?

You want to make sure

I've got batteries
in my smoke alarm?

Well, actually, we're not here
on fire department business.

You're not?

Un-huh.

Oh, come on in then.

What a weirdo.

You know you should
really rethink

your outfit there, Smokey.

It's intentionally misleading.

Now, can I interest anyone
in some kombucha?

I made it myself.

Oh, that's very tempting,

but I try not to drink
kombucha after 2006.

Oh.

That's sad.

Yeah.

What are you in
the market for then?

Uh, Betamax?

Ah, physical media.
Very smart.

You will need that

when they shoot the satellites
out of the sky.

So is this your pawnshop?

Excuse me?

I'm sorry. Um...

Do I look like someone
who'd run a predatory business

that preys upon poor people

in the service of
capitalist greed?

I'm fighting a war against
planned obsolescence.

This isn't a pawn shop.
This is the junkyard of dreams.

I'm not one thing.

I'm everything.

I'm a numismatist.

Coin collector.

A philatelist.

Stamps.

A plangonologist.

Dolls.

A philagraphist.

Autographs.

-Actophile.
-Teddy bears.

-Phonofile.
-Vinyl records.

Digitabulist.

Uh, uh, uh, thimbles.

Plancomusophiliast.

Bottle caps.

Helixafile.

Corkscrews.

Copoclephalist.

Keyrings.

Signopaginophile.

Oh. Uh...

Uh, Um...

Bookmarks.

Mmhmm.

And you forgot horologist.

That too, A-Mac.

Do you know me?

I know of you Ainsley MacGregor,
sister to the Sheriff,

solved a couple
of local murders.

Criminologist formerly
with the Chicago PD.

You are getting a little
too big to hide.

Obviously, you are
not customers.

What are you doing here?

We're investigating the death
of Mark Reval.

We understand that you knew him

and wondering if you
would help us.

Follow me.

Mark Gregory Reval was found
dead in the fall of 2015.

He fell off the Falls Ravine
into the Sweet River

and was found the next morning.

His death was ruled an accident
by then Sheriff Barnes.

Mark is survived by his loving
wife, Maria Martinez,

and their five children.

Samantha, Tasha,
Connor, Levi and Max.

That's about all I can tell you.

[door slams]

[locks door]

I don't think he's coming back.

I'm sure he's great at parties.

Well, one thing's for sure.

He's got something to do
with the murder.

[Ryan] Mark Reval's
arrest report.

A lot of stuff redacted in here.

Yeah, they do that sometimes.
It's called hold back.

Things they don't want
to make public

to test for false confessions.

What do you know
about Dalton Barnes?

A lot. He was my mentor
in this job.

You think I could talk to him?

I have some questions
I'd like to ask.

He's a retired old man.

The last thing he needs is
to be bothered by old cases.

Unless the subject's golf
related, he's not interested.

I can do golf.

-Do golf?
-Mmhmm.

I check in on them
every couple of weeks.

I'm actually supposed to see
him tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yeah. I bring him some groceries
and let him talk

my ear off with stories
about golf.

You know what's more boring
than playing golf?

Listening to stories about
people playing golf.

Well, let me come with you.

He can talk my ear off
with golf stories.

Give you a break.

You're gonna regret that.

I won't.

Okay, but you have to be polite.

None of this, Ainsley Columbo,
"just one more thing" stuff.

All right?

I promise.

Fine. You can drive.

Pick me up at the station
tomorrow.

Thank you.

Why are you being so nice?

This is nice?

For you, yes.

I'm just glad you're distracting
yourself with this

and not distracting me from my
current dangerous police work.

Oh, you have more photocopying
to do.

If I leave the lid open,
I could blind myself.

As long as you're focusing
on cold cases,

I don't have to worry about
you getting into real trouble.

I can't live my life in fear.

Yes, you can.

You always worry the worst
is going to happen.

Yeah, it's my superpower.

Have you ever been right?

No. And I plan to keep that
perfect losing streak going.

Something else is going on
with you.

Sisters know.

Are you seeing someone?

I'm seeing way too much of you.

Oh. Jake mentioned something
to Cyra about the four of us

hanging out, and, I don't know,
she got kind of weird.

Hold on.

Are you suggesting that I would
be interested in somebody

who spends her days
poking dead people?

Mm. You're right.

They're probably more rigid
than you are.

[pleasant music]

You need some help?

Hello?

I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.

Oh, no. That's okay.

You need some help?

Uh, no.
No, I've got it.

Thanks, Chief.

Well, you know our motto.

You don't have to be on
fire for us to help you.

Is that a real motto?

It should be. Whoa!

See ya.

Ainsley.

Oh, she has to put a couple
of those up

to keep an eye on her more
expensive inventory.

And an ear.

Yeah, these these cameras
have mics on them.

I'm thinking of putting a couple
up around my spot

because, uh, someone vandalized
one of my birdhouses last week.

Was it George?

Did he steal one of the stuffed
birds off the perch again?

Ainsley, you know I don't
jump to conclusions.

We'll know once those cameras
are up.

-John.
-Chief.

-How are you doing?
-[laughs]

-Hi.
-Hi.

I was just about to head over
to Maria's

to take care of her flowers
and take a look at the watch.

Do you want to come?

I can't, I got to get back
to the station.

I just wanted to drop this off
and see your beautiful face.

Oh. Thank you.

What is this?

It's coffee.

It's a hot drink made
from beans.

Sounds gross, but people seem
to really like it.

Ugh, all the way from the truck,
not a drop spilled.

Uh, give me one second.
I'll be right back.

Okay.

[notification alert]

So how was the coffee?

Oh, I think they're on
to something

with this bean juice stuff.

Oh. The mayor texted.

Oh, what's the mayor
have to say?

Oh, just that it was nice
running into me

and that it was very nice
to meet you, too.

-Mm.
-Yeah.

[notification alert]

Oh, it's Jane again asking

if I'm going to be at
the station tomorrow.

She wants to come by
and see me.

Did she say why?

No, but I guess I'll tell her
to come by and find out.

[ominous music]

[creaking]

[beeping]

[tense music]

-[creaking sounds]
-[gasps]

[beeping]

[phone ringing]

[Cyra] Ainsley, hi.

Hey, Cyra. I'm just
leaving Maria's house.

I'm going to go to that spot
at the Falls Ravine.

There's something
I want to look at.

Do you want to meet me?

[tense music]

[twigs snap]

[screams]

[Ainsley] Help! Somebody,
help me!

[tense music]

Help!!!

Somebody help me!

-Ainsley!
-Cyra!

Grab my hand.

Take my hand.

[scream]

Got you!

What happened?

Somebody pushed me.

Did you see anyone?

No one.

Come on.
Let's get out of here.

Just so I'm clear.

Public park, broad daylight.

Someone runs up behind you,
pushes you, runs away,

and you see nothing.

Nothing?

How much did that criminology
degree cost?

No. I was looking down
into the ravine.

What about you?
Did you see anybody?

No one.

Who would have even known
that you were there?

Well, I just called Cyra
to meet me, that's it.

I swear I was joking about
wanting to do more autopsies.

No, it has to be someone
who knows

we're looking into the Reval
case and doesn't like it.

Rance?

Possibly.

No, but this person was quick,
nimble, athletic.

Right. And it was in a park.

Rance doesn't exactly strike
me as the outdoorsy type.

Or it could be something
separate altogether.

Chicago?

No, this was panicked,
impulsive.

If those people want you dead,
you won't feel a thing.

You'll just be dead.

Oh, well, that's a relief.

Regardless, I don't think you
should be alone tonight.

I'll stay.

Cool.

Yep. George and I will just stay
on the couch again.

Fine.

You want me to give you
a drive home?

Yeah, that'd be great.

What's this?

I drive right by her place
on my way home.

That's convenient.

Oh, no.

Just keep your phone on
and lock your doors, please.

Bye.

Mm.

[loud noise]

Freeze!

[George barking]

Sorry.

I didn't want to wake you.

No. It's fine.
I wasn't sleeping anyways.

I was just, um, guarding
with my eyes closed.

There's just something that's
been bothering me about this.

You know, when I was standing
there looking down at the spot

where Mark fell, just something
didn't seem right.

You know, there were no jagged
rocks or anything.

That's why Mark's body didn't
have any lacerations.

May I?

Yeah, there's no scratches
or scrapes anywhere.

Just this broken crystal.

It's almost like someone
smashed it with a hammer.

Wait. The time says 6:12
in the morning.

Yeah.

But the time of death
on the autopsy report

said around 2 AM.

So maybe the watch kept working

for a couple hours
after Mark fell.

I mean, possibly.

But the crystal here,
it's blocking the hands.

We need somebody to tell us
what we're looking at.

Rance is a Horologist.

Rance? Isn't he one of
our suspects?

All the more reason to talk
to him tomorrow.

Oh, fine.

But, hey, I... I am not drinking
any of that bathtub kombucha.

Ugh.

So what can I do for City Hall?

Oh, I just wanted to come by
and make sure you're good

with the fire department's
appropriations

and the new municipal budget.

Well, yeah, I signed off
on those.

Didn't your office get them?

We did.

I just wanted to double check.

Okay, well, I am
double confirming.

Is that why you came down
here today?

Because you could have
just replied to the email.

Oh, I'm more of an in person
kind of person.

So there is something else
I wanted to ask you about.

Ainsley is looking into
my brother's death.

Uh, yeah.
Who told you that?

She had the police reports the
other night at the restaurant.

Right. Uh...

Yeah, she's trying to get
Maria some closure.

I could use some closure, too.

Of course.

Look, I think it's wonderful

that she's taking
the initiative.

You'll let me know
if she gets any answers,

or if there's any way I can be
of any assistance.

Will do.

Thank you.

[Ainsley] Nice shot, Sheriff.

Thank you.

-Woo!
-Four!

[Ainsley laughs]

This one's a natural,
she is.

How about another Ding Dong?

You are reading my mind.

So how long were you Sheriff
of Sweet River?

Oh, too long.

Thankfully, this young buck

came along to put me out
of my misery.

And what is it that you do?

Oh, I'm a criminologist.

I work for the police department
as well.

Do you now?

In fact, I was hoping to ask
you a couple of questions

about an old case.

The death of Mark Reval.

I'm an old man.

I don't remember what I had for
breakfast let alone old cases.

Oh, come on, there must be
something you remember

that could help us.

In fact, you were the one

who redacted the original
police report.

[clears throat]

You don't want to get into that.

This is Texas, ma'am.

Around here we believe
it's better

to let sleeping dogs lie.

I can't believe you did that.

If you mean eat four
Ding Dongs, neither can I.

Definitely hitting
the gym tomorrow.

You're supposed to be polite.

I was polite.

I was politely inquisitive.

[sighs]

You know, Ains,
Sweet River is our home,

but... we'll always be outsiders
in some folks' eyes.

You start pointing fingers

at people like the mayor
and Barnes,

you got to be really careful.

But if they're involved--

You know who's responsible
for appointing me as Sheriff?

The mayor.

You know who's responsible
for appointing the Fire Chief?

The mayor.

You got to be careful.

Are you sure about this?

I'm not sure about
anything anymore.

[knocking]

You two.

Didn't you get my subtle hint
that I didn't really want

to talk about Mark Reval?

We're not here to talk about
the case.

We're here to get your expert
opinion on something.

Which expert do you need?

The horologist.

I want you to take a look
at this watch.

Where did you get that?

It belongs to my friend, Maria.
It's very valuable.

Oh. That's unfortunate.

This was a nice watch.

Not as nice as the real one.

What?

This one's a fake.

It's a really good fake,
but a replica nonetheless.

Every now and then you see
a convincing copy

of a designer watch
on the market.

It's called a super fake.

How can you be sure?

The last Valentin Reval
timepiece was made in 1938.

You think they had a button
cell battery in 1938?

Here's the thing about
expensive watches.

They might be pretty,

but that's not what makes
them valuable.

I mean, this is very elegant.

It's got a nice crocodile
skin strap.

Isn't that a good thing?

Not for the crocodile.

But you don't pay for that.

You pay for the guts,
the mechanics.

You know what's special about
an original Valentin Reval?

You know what makes it tick?

A flying ruby set tourbillon.

Exactly. Not a $2 battery
from Best Buy.

If this were an actual
Valentin Reval,

I wouldn't advise
transporting it

unless you were accompanied
by an armed guard.

It's worth about $3 million.

That's why the watch was
left on the body.

Because it's a fake.
-Mmhmm.

So whoever stole the watch
somehow figured out it was fake,

smashed it, put it back
on the body.

That accounts for the four-hour
difference in the time of death

versus the time on
the broken watch.

But why do that?

Because of all the valuables
that are left on the corpse,

there's no suspicion
of foul play.

Right. It just gets ruled
an accidental death.

Now, somebody could have taken
the real watch and replaced it

with a fake one just
to throw off the scent.

It would have to be a dead
ringer of a fake

to even hope you could fool
anyone that it was real.

Where would you even get
something like that made?

You're right.

The other major question
is who has the real watch?

I'll get a search done of all
the international registries

and auction houses,

and if the sale was made
legitimately,

we might be able to trace it
back to the seller.

You're not going to be
alone tonight, right?

No. She's not.

Getting to really like
that couch.

See you at my place.

I will be right behind you.

See you in a bit.

-[gasp]
-Drive!

If you want to live Ainsley,
drive now.

[engine accelerates]

Pull over. Right here.

Now, turn off the engine.

[beeping]

What's that?

You'll see.

This was a GPS tracker
you were supposed to find.

[beeping]

And this was the one you
weren't supposed to find.

Let me see your phone.

Unlock it, please.

Mm.

Here.
-Ah, yes.

Oh, look at that.
Your phone has been cloned.

How do you know that?

I'm also a technophile.

And it makes sense if
someone is tracking you.

These days, they use the two
things that move with you.

And there we are.
Your phone is clean.

You're welcome.

[tires screeching]

-Jake.
-Ainsley.

I'm okay, I'm okay,
I'm okay. It's okay.

I can't believe I almost
lost you.

I just turned around
and you were gone.

And then I'm driving around
for the past 20 minutes

trying to find you.

I know. I'm not in danger.
Everything's fine.

Rance?

No. He's fine, he's fine.
He's our friend, right?

Well...

I'm nobody's friend.

I'm just a ghost in the night.

A face in the crowd.

A fly on the wall.

But if you're asking me whether
or not I'm on your side.

Well, I'm on the side
of righteousness.

And in my view, A-Mac,
that's you.

Okay. Tell us everything.

I was there that night.

[sighs]
The night Mark died.

Did you see it happen?

No.

In the weeks leading up
to his death,

Mark had been receiving

anonymous, threatening
phone calls.

Someone knew he had that watch,
and they were after it.

Mark had a dilemma
on his hands.

There was no way

that he was going to give up
his family's namesake.

But he knew keeping it would
make him a target.

So he came to me and we figured
out a solution.

You see, I have a counterfeiting
friend in Houston,

so I knew I could get
a super fake.

Of course, we couldn't
just Fedex

the real watch to this guy.

So we had to measure it
and picture it

right down to the last detail so
that he could machine it.

And we didn't have
a lot of time,

and we had to
keep it a secret.

As careful as we were, though,
someone followed Mark.

[pounding on the door]

You go.

Okay.
-[pounding continues]

[pounding on door]

Colby County Sheriff Department,
hands up!

Okay.

Lucky for us, though,

they didn't figure out
what we were doing.

But Mark was arrested.

For running a gambling ring

according to what we read
on the arrest report.

So Sheriff Barnes was in on it.

After he was released,

Mark became even
more determined.

We had to finish
that replica fast.

The day it was done,

I did a ten-hour round trip
to pick it up.

I got back late.

I called him and he told me
to meet him in the park.

Do you have it?

You see, Mark was paranoid
that he was being followed.

[footsteps]

That... was the last night
I saw Mark alive.

And whoever he ran into
on his way home that night

was the one who killed him.

Did Mark ever tell you
who it was

who was after him?

He didn't tell me,
and I didn't ask.

If the Sheriff was involved,
I didn't want to know.

Besides, you don't have
to be a rocket scholar

to see that his sister was, too.

Mark always used to say people
assumed he was the black sheep,

but really, it was her.

Mark spent his whole life
getting into trouble

to keep her out of it.

Why do you suppose his granddad
gave him the watch and not her?

[Ryan] We scoured every
registry, auction house,

community sales listing
in the past ten years.

Nothing.

If the watch is out there,
it means it's deep underground.

Probably sold illegally.

On the black market.

We should be looking for someone
who came into a lot of money,

but still had to find a way
to launder it.

Any guesses?

Jane had a very expensive
mayoral campaign to pay for.

The Sheriff was riding
her coattails.

You know, Maria said that Jane
was the only other person

who knew about the watch.

Her brother got the extremely
valuable family heirloom.

She got nothing.

So as mayor,

she probably had the power
to pull all the strings.

Have Mark framed, lean on
Barnes to alter police reports,

get her brother out of the way
so she can get the watch.

But how does that translate
to what's happening now?

You getting pushed
in the ravine.

Your... your phone
getting cloned.

Your car getting bugged.
Jane did all that too?

Why not?

She knows I'm investigating
the case,

and she has the most to lose if
any new evidence comes to light.

Well, Jake, you know Jane,
the best of any of us.

Do you think that it's possible?

Yeah, I believe it.

There's always something
about her I didn't trust,

you know, just a gut feeling.

That's the real reason that
I ended the relationship.

I think we have
our prime suspect.

Jane Reval.

Here's the problem, though.

If Jane is guilty, she spent
the last ten years

covering her tracks,
not getting caught.

We don't have enough solid
evidence to charge her.

So what does solid evidence
look like?

A confession.

On the record, which means
someone has to wear a wire.

I'll do it.

She asked me to let
her know if Ainsley

found any new information
on the case.

So I will call her,
set up a meeting,

and I'll try and get her
to talk.

If she's gonna spill their
guts to anyone,

it's gonna be me.

Perfect.

Whoa, whoa, no, no.
Not perfect.

I've got to get a warrant
for starters.

Texas is a one-party
consent state.

I'm aware of that, Professor,
but if we want the evidence

to hold up in court, I got
to get a judicial order.

So get it.

It's not like ordering a pizza.

There are hoops to jump through.

Also, I don't know if you two
have been paying attention,

but we're in Sweet River,
not Langley.

We don't have the resources
or the technology

to deal with this kind of thing.

I think I know someone
who can help.

[Rance] Welly, well, well.

I never thought I'd see
a day like this.

Me, a Robin Hood of the people
working alongside

the Sheriff of Nottingham
over there.

Mr. Moesby, the Colby County
Sheriff's Department

appreciates your assistance
in this matter.

I bet you do, Billy Mac.

Rance, you said you wanted to
be on the side of the righteous.

That's us.

If you say so, A-Mac.

Now, would anyone
like some kombucha?

[both] No.

Thank you.

This has a range of half a mile.

However, it will have
some issues

if it has to transmit through
brick or cement.

We'll be close by.

That's good.

Billy Mac.

Does your department have
a surveillance van?

Well, we have a van.

Do you?

Yeah, but it's not exactly wired
for surveillance.

Well, I will look
in the back of mine

and see what gear I have.

All right.
I understand why you're A-Mac.

Ainsley MacGregor.

But why am I Billy Mac?

Billy Mac, from the song.

He's a detective.

In Texas.

Steve Miller Band.

Rance isn't allowed
in the van.

[Ryan] This can't be officially
sanctioned, Deputy Trainee.

We don't have enough evidence
to bring charges.

So this operation does not
officially exist.

Understood?

Understood, boss.

Hey, we should come up
with a code name...

like Project Faceless.

Because watches have faces,
and so do we.

But... we're incognito.

What did I just say?

This doesn't officially exist.

Right. So the mission does not
need a name.

What mission?

Okay, we're going to be
in a surveillance van

outside of Dooley's
at 1900 hours tonight.

Our confidential informant
is Chief Trenton.

Now, if we're sloppy
and we mess this up,

we're all going to look
spectacularly stupid.

So let's make sure
that doesn't happen.

Kevin, there's one more
thing I need you to do.

I need you to write up

an arrest warrant...
for Dalton Barnes.

But... Sheriff Barnes?

Yeah.

On what grounds?

Obstruction of justice.

Accessory to murder.

Falsifying police documents.

Do you have enough evidence
to charge him?

No, but I've got probable cause.
Enough to hold him for 24 hours.

I'm on it, boss.

Of course you have to get him
off the street.

And I've got to get to him
before Jane does.

I sure hope you're sure.

Ryan, I'm sure that Jane
is guilty of something.

I just... I don't know
that she killed her brother.

What?

Why would she put the
watch on his wrong wrist?

I don't know.
Maybe she panicked.

Ainsley, last chance here.
Am I calling this off?

No.

Are you sure you
want to do this?

Yes.

Someone's after you, and
it's time to put a stop to that.

[tense music]

Hi.

Dooley!

Hey, how you doing, Chief?

I'm all right.

Ainsley joining you tonight?

No. Ainsley is working.
I'm meeting the mayor.

Well, your usual table's ready.

Actually, you know what,
I'm gonna change it up tonight.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna sit
over here at the bar.

-Suit yourself.
-Mmhmm.

Got some bad news, though.

Oh, no.

It's been a busy day, Jake.
We're all out of brisket.

Oh. That's okay.
I'm not that hungry.

That's not the Jake I know.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah. It's fine.
It's just some work stuff.

Mmhmm. Well, you know,
some days it feels like

one wheel's off
and the axle's dragging.

Yeah.

I'm gonna get you two
a couple drinks.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

I'm in.

[Ryan] He's talking to himself?
Why is he talking to himself?

That's a dead giveaway.

He's fine.
Let him settle in.

I talk to myself all the time.

It's the only interesting
conversation I ever have.

Excuse me.

Stay frosty, people.

[Kevin] I got caddy movement.

Copy.

Condor has landed.

We're in business.

I told Kevin not to wear
that mustache.

Really?
I told him it looks great.

He's like a wild
west Magnum P.I.

You look good, JT.

You get all dressed up
just for me?

Oh, I suppose I did,
for old time's sake.

You didn't have any plans
with Ainsley tonight?

No, no, we don't see each
other that much.

Really?

I thought the two of you
were an item.

No, no, no, it's not
that serious.

I guess he's settling in.

Shall we order?

I always get the brisket
sandwich.

Me too.
But they're all sold out.

What?

Yeah.

Oh, that is the only reason
I come here.

Me too.

[laughing]

We can go somewhere else,
if you like.

What is he doing?

Nah, we're already here.
I'll get the fajitas.

Okay.

He's playing it cool.

[sighs]

You should try it sometime.

Cheers.

Mm.

So you said Ainsley had some
new info about Mark's death?

Yeah. I'm not sure
if you heard or not,

but Sheriff Barnes was arrested
a couple of hours ago.

I did hear that.

[Jane] Yeah, I called
the station

to get an official statement,
but they stonewalled me.

You know anything about it?

I overheard Ainsley
talking to Ryan.

Apparently, Barnes told them
that your brother's death

had something to do with
a watch that he owned.

My grandfather's watch.

Yeah.

And Barnes said that
you were after it,

that you forced him to do all
sorts of things to coerce Mark

into giving it to you.

Like what?
Altering the police reports?

Um, yes. Yeah, that, um...

but also abusing your position
of power

for your own financial gain.

Okay, that's rich
coming from Barnes.

Jane, you know what I...

I don't want to get
in the middle of this.

Too late.
Tell me what he said.

Uh, well, Barnes, he, um...

he said that you... you...
killed Mark to get the watch.

My own brother?!

I'm just....I'm just telling
you what I heard.

Look, I wanted that watch.
I deserved that watch.

Mark wouldn't give it to me,

so I needed to find a way
to get it from him.

And is that why you
had him arrested

at the pawn shop that night?

Absolutely right it is.

That watch was my family
heirloom, too,

and I needed it more
than he did.

Oh, come on, Jake, deliver
the knockout punch.

Hey.

Everyone knows what he was like.

Maybe there's part of me that
wouldn't have even blamed you

if you--

If what? If I killed him?

You know, I don't think that we
should talk about this anymore.

[Jane] I'm no killer.

Sure, I set up Barnes
that night to get that watch

but I'm not a murderer.

[customer] What?!

[indiscernible chatter]

Uh...

That's actionable.

Patrol deputies move in.

I, uh... I'm just going to go
use the ladies' room.

Of course.

She's gonna rabbit.

Rabbit?

She's running.

Suspect's on the move.

[sirens blare]

Stop! Mayor?

Mayor Reval!

You're under arrest.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say now can
and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to speak
to a lawyer for advice

before we ask you any questions.

[Ryan] Take her away.

Mayor Reval, you are aware
of the charges

being laid against you?

Lawyer.

I know that you know
your rights.

You're not required to say
anything at this time,

but in the event that you'd like
to add anything

to your testimony voluntarily,
I'll take those statements now.

Lawyer.

There's nothing else you
want to say?

Lawyer.

Yeah, I got that.

Alrighty. [clears throat]

I didn't kill my brother, Ryan.

Mark was meeting Barnes
the night of his death.

Barnes was getting greedy.

He came to my house
earlier that day,

and we had a screaming match
about the whole plan.

I told him I changed my mind
and that he shouldn't go

and meet Mark, but he
wouldn't listen to me.

Is there anybody who
can corroborate this?

My children's nanny, Philippa,
overheard the whole exchange.

I remember because she wanted
to call the cops

without realizing how ironic
that was.

Do you believe her?

Yeah.

It doesn't matter.

We have her on
the other charges.

Even if this Philippa,
the nanny person surfaces.

Wait.

Do you know the nickname
for Philippa?

Phil?

No, Pippa.

Who?

Pippa was Maria's babysitter.

She was at the house the night
of Mark's death.

And she also said she worked
for Maria's sister in law, Jane.

So she would have knowledge

of the goings-on
in both households.

She knew about the watch

and she knew about
the plan to steal it.

How would you two
like to do

another unofficial
Watchgate sting?

-No.
-Yes.

There's a fake watch?

Yes.

[message alert]

But... but there definitely
was a real watch.

Who has my husband's watch?

I don't know, and I don't have
time to try to figure it out.

I need you to come with me

and just go along with whatever
happens, okay?

Hi.

I just can't believe that Jane
has been hanging on

to the real watch
for all these years.

Jane, right. Uh, Jane,
it's unbelievable.

Well, I'm glad she finally
came clean.

And the most important part
is the watch is back

where it belongs,
in your safe.

I'm so glad you got
Mark's watch back.

Tell the world,
why don't you?

You just keep that thing safe,
you here?

I will.

Y'all ready for book club?

Wouldn't miss it.

I'll be there with bells on.

Could you please tell me
what's going?

Hold on, hold on, wait.

Me too.

Me three.

What was with that text
you sent us?

Do you know where
the real watch is?

No.

But I think I know who
the true killer is.

[tense music]

[beeping]

Surprise!

It's over, Pippa.

You saw Mark take the watch out
of the safe that night.

-Honey, what's going on?
-It's gonna be ok.

-I want...
-It's gonna be ok.

You knew some kind of
transaction was about to happen

because you overheard Jane
and Barnes arguing earlier.

So you followed Mark.

[Pippa] It took me a while
to find him.

He'd had a significant
head start.

When I finally caught up to him,
he was in the path by the river.

Please! Stop, please!

Pippa! Why are you here?

Give me the watch.

Please!

Don't do this!

You don't understand
what's happening here, okay?

Give it to me.

It's a fake.

Look...

It's a fake.

Don't get mixed up in this,
please.

Just go home, okay?

Go home.

No, no! Please!

No!!!!!!

[sobbing]

I should have just listened
to him and gone home.

What happened next?

I had the watch.

I knew where the rendezvous
point was with Barnes,

so I went there.

Barnes had brought his fence.

The guy who was going
to sell it for him.

Barnes was surprised to see me,
but he didn't care.

The guy took a long look
at the watch

and finally said
that it was a fake.

Before Barnes took off,
he told me that he'd kill me

if I ever told anyone
about his involvement.

So there I was... alone.

I panicked and thought of
the only thing I could do

to not get caught.

[sobbing]

I did everything
I could to make sure

there was no evidence
I was ever there.

But you also knew that
with Sheriff Barnes

and the mayor's involvement,

this would get swept
under the rug.

And it was.

Until I came along.

So it was you who cloned
my phone.

And there we go.

And bugged my car.

Need some help?

I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.

What about the park?

[Pippa] I heard you were going
there with the watch.

I didn't want you to find out
it was fake.

I tried to scare you off
the case.

Scare me off?

Oh, I think you tried to do
a lot more than that.

Why would you do this, Pippa?
We treated you like family.

Because she's a thief.

What do you think all
that designer stuff is

that she's selling?
It's all stolen.

[exhales]

Thank you, Ainsley.

This case never would have
been solved without you.

You never give up.

It's a blessing and--
and a curse.

The one mystery we never solved
was where the real watch is.

I guess that'll stay buried
with my love.

Buried?

Maria, what's this?
It was in the safe.

Oh, that's a poem Mark read
to me the day he proposed.

"I shall bury my weary love
beneath a tree

"in the forest tall and black
where no one can see."

And you said that Mark proposed
to you at the willow tree.

Mmhmm. By the lagoon
at the forest's edge.

[gasp]

-Did you hit something?
-Yeah.

There you go.

That poem was a message.
Mark wanted you to find it.

Nobody else but his one true
love should have it.

[crying]

Aren't you going to tell me
I'm no longer allowed

to work on any lukewarm cases?

I'm not gonna tell you anything.

What's the point?
You don't listen anyway.

Good job though.

You're welcome to work on any
temperature case that you like.

Seriously, why are you being
so nice to me?

It's unnerving.

This is nice?

For you, yes.

Something's going on.

Do you really think me--

All sisters know.

What are you guys doing tonight?

Going to Dooley's for dinner.

You guys want to make it
a double date?

I've got plans.

Yeah, and I got to catch up
on some work.

Give you a lift?

Yeah.

-Convenient.
-Convenient.

What?

He drives right past my place
on the way home.

Will you two grow up, please.

Have fun.

You know, when you were wearing
that wire,

some of the things you said
were pretty convincing.

Well, I was acting.

Really? Even that part
where you said--

I was acting.

You think if you and I went
to high school together--

Yeah, we'd be sweethearts.

Oh, yeah, Mr. Quarterback.

What are you telling me
you weren't the prom queen?

I was valedictorian.

[laughs]

Why does that not surprise me?

You know, instead of speculating
about the past,

I'm more interested in focusing
on the future.

That is what I love about you.

Really?

-Mm.
-Mm.

Tell me more about--

Is there anything else
on the short list...
