[♪♪♪]

سأتوقف عند الشرفة في طريقي إلى المنزل

لوضع اللافتة.

أعلم أنه ليس كذلك

في الوصف الوظيفي لمدير المدينة،

لكنك تعلم مدى أهمية هذا الأمر بالنسبة لرئيس البلدية.

لحظة من فضلك يا تيريزا.

لقد قدمت طلب الموافقة على المظلات الجديدة الخاصة بكم.

ستكون جميلة.

حسناً، إذن سيأتي فريق الهدم صباح يوم الجمعة الباكر؟

حسناً، سيتم وضع حجر الأساس بعد أسبوع.

الأمر ليس كما لو

إنهم يهدمون برج سبيس نيدل.

إنها مجرد شرفة! سينتهي العمل عليها في يوم واحد.

من لم يؤكد؟

لا، سأتولى الأمر بنفسي.

حسنًا، أراك غدًا. مع السلامة!

جايسون، مرحباً! أنا آلي فيرغسون.

سمعت أنك لم تؤكد حضورك لحفل وضع حجر الأساس.

لا، أعلم أن معرض الزهور حدث مهم، لكن...

حسناً، إذا استطعت تلطيف الأمور

هل يمكنني ضمك إلى نادي البستنة؟

ممتاز. سأتصل بك لاحقاً.

ماري، مرحباً! أنا آلي فيرغسون.

جيد، جيد!

لا أطيق الانتظار لرؤية أزهار الأزاليا الفائزة بجوائزك.

اسمع، بخصوص معرض الزهور،

كنت أفكر

سننقل جناحكم إلى المقدمة هذا العام.

[♪♪♪]

مرحباً! لا تنسَ أن تزور مكتبي.

سأساعدك في ملء تلك الاستمارات.

صباح الخير يا آلي.

صباح الخير يا فريدي! صباح الخير يا جوليا.

[اختبارات] هممم.

جوليا...

سنساعدك في الحصول على الموافقات

لطلاء متجرك.

نحتاج فقط إلى مزيد من الوقت.

أنت تعرف كيف تسير الأمور في مبنى البلدية.

أنت تعمل في مبنى البلدية!

لقد كنا هنا لمدة 50 عاماً.

متجر "كنوز عائلة هانسون" موجود هنا منذ 50 عامًا.

كان وسط المدينة جميلاً في السابق.

كان وسط المدينة في السابق نابضاً بالحياة ومليئاً بالألوان،

ونحن نحاول فقط استعادة بعض ذلك.

- لكن الروتين الإداري - توقفوا عن ذلك.

لكن هناك الكثير من الروتين.

أوافقك الرأي! وأنا أحب ذلك.

أنك تريد أن تجعل سبرينغفيل مدينة أفضل.

هذا ما نريده أنا ورئيس البلدية أيضاً.

بدءاً بالنافورة الجديدة.

همم. يبدو الأمر كذلك

هناك المزيد من الإجراءات البيروقراطية المتعلقة بالدهانات

بدلاً من حفر ساحة المدينة،

برأيي.

تناول قطعة من الكعك.

شكرًا لك.

لقد خبزتها بنفسي.

إذا كانت لا تزال تعطيني الكعك،

لا يمكن أن تكون غاضبة مني لهذه الدرجة.

أنت لا تعرف جدتي على الإطلاق، أليس كذلك؟

[يضحك]

[♪♪♪]

[يشاهد نفسه في الفيديو] نعم، لقد علمني الجيش

لدراسة كل التفاصيل،

لن ندخر جهداً،

ولهذا السبب أعتقد أنني سأفعل

إضافة رائعة لقسم شرطة سياتل.

[المحاور] ماذا تعني لك كلمة "مجتمع"؟

[ريان] ماذا تعني لي الجماعة؟

أريد حمايته، وجعله آمناً...

[بيث] رايان؟

هل أنت مستعد ليومك الأول؟

نعم يا سيدتي!

أوه، هذا سيصبح مملاً بسرعة كبيرة.

من فضلك، نادني بيث فقط.

"سارج". هل يمكننا الاتفاق على كلمة "سارج"؟

أجل، أعتقد أنني أستطيع فعل ذلك...

الرقيب.

خطوات صغيرة.

هل هذه هي مقابلة شرطة سياتل؟

أوه، جيري، في قسم المرور،

أخبرتني أنك تنظر إليه طوال الوقت.

أوه...

أنا فقط أحاول التعلم من أخطائي... يا رقيب.

اسمع، أعلم أنك تحاول الانضمام إلى شرطة سياتل مرة أخرى في وقت ما.

في الحقيقة، لا أستطيع ذلك لمدة ستة أشهر أخرى على الأقل.

وحتى ذلك الحين، سأتعامل مع هذه الوظيفة بجدية بالغة.

نعم، لقد سمعت ذلك.

"جدي" هو الإعداد الافتراضي لديك.

انظر يا ريان،

لقد كنت تعمل في مجال المرور لمدة تقل عن ستة أشهر.

تم نقلك إلى وسط المدينة

لأن الأمر استغرق وقتاً طويلاً لتسجيل المخالفات البسيطة.

كانت مليئة بتفاصيل لا تهم على الإطلاق.

كان الأمر سيختلف لو كانت الأوراق خاطئة.

ما نقوم به هنا هو عمل الشرطة المجتمعية.

هذا ليس قسم شرطة سياتل، وليس الجيش.

كما تعلم، الأمور هنا أكثر استرخاءً بعض الشيء.

وعليك أن تسترخي حيال ذلك.

هل دوّنت حقاً ملاحظة حول حاجتك للاسترخاء؟

في كتاب قوانين المدينة؟

كم من ذلك حفظت؟

معظمها، ولكن الآن بعد أن أصبحت هنا،

لن تحتاج إلى البحث عن أي شيء.

يمكنك ببساطة أن تسألني.

إنها... إنها مزحة يا سيدتي--

رقيب! رقيب.

سأذهب لأحضر فنجان قهوة من المطعم.

أليس هذا قهوة؟

لا، هذا؟ لا، هذا فظيع.

لكن صهري يملك المقهى الموجود في نهاية الطريق،

لذا أتناول القهوة كل يوم.

ثم أطلب منهم استبدالها في المطعم.

يجعل الأمور أسهل في عيد الشكر.

الأمر كله يتعلق بالعلاقات.

- همم. - هل تريد شيئاً؟

لا، أنا بخير. شكراً لك.

سأراقب الأمور هنا عن كثب.

[♪♪♪]

[يتنهد]

إنه استوديو رقص يا وايت. أحتاج إلى تشغيل الموسيقى.

ما مشكلتك مع الموسيقى هذه الأيام؟

لا شيء! أنت تعلم أنني أساعد برنامج الموسيقى في المدرسة.

أنا ببساطة لا أحب ذلك

عندما يتم تشغيلها بصوت عالٍ جدًا على الجانب الآخر من جداري.

ماذا تريدني أن أفعل؟ هممم، حتى يتمكن طلابي من الرقص؟

آلي، أنتِ مديرة المدينة.

لا بد أنها تخالف بعض القوانين.

إنه مصدر إزعاج عام!

هل هو مصدر إزعاج؟

ماذا عن مروحة شفط الهواء من مطبخك؟

هل هذا يجعل رائحة الاستوديو بأكمله تشبه رائحة الفطائر؟

هاه؟ دعنا نسأل مدير المدينة عن ذلك.

من منا لا يحب الفطائر؟

كل ما قلته هو "صباح الخير".

- كل صباح، يكون الأمر... - أترى؟ إنها لا تريد...

- ...بوب-بوب-بوب-بوب-بوب-بوب-بوب! - ...للحديث عن ذلك، سواء.

مهلاً مهلاً مهلاً! حسناً! حسناً! يمكنني مساعدتك

يمكنك القيام بذلك من خلال مبنى البلدية، إذا رغبت في ذلك.

أو يمكننا تسوية الأمر، كجيران طيبين.

- أجل، أجل. - يبدو أن التوجه إلى مبنى البلدية هو الخيار الأمثل.

أعتقد أن هذا هو الحل الأمثل.

أجل، هكذا ضاعت جائزة نوبل للسلام التي كنت أطمح إليها.

تفضل بزيارة مكتبي.

سأساعدك في ملء الاستمارات.

رائع.

بكل سرور.

مرحباً سام، كيف حال الفريق؟

جيد جداً.

أعتقد أن لدينا فرصة جيدة للفوز بالبطولة على مستوى الولاية.

رائع. حسنًا، سأكون هناك لأشجعك.

شكراً لكِ يا آنسة فيرغسون.

[♪♪♪]

معذرةً سيدتي؟

هل تعلم أنه من المفترض أن تستخدم ممر المشاة؟

أوه، حسناً، نعم... لم تكن هناك سيارات قادمة.

نعم، لا يزال هذا يُعتبر عبوراً غير قانوني للطريق.

حسناً، من الناحية الفنية، نعم.

لكنني أقصد، ممر المشاة

كان على الجانب الآخر من المكان الذي أذهب إليه،

وكان هذا أكثر كفاءة.

أفهم ذلك، لكنني سأضطر مع ذلك إلى كتابة تذكرة لك.

مخالفة مرورية؟ لا، يا حضرة الضابط.

- أوه، برويت-- - هل لي أن أرى هويتك من فضلك؟

نعم.

هذا هو، همم...

[بشكل واضح] ...شارة مبنى البلدية.

أنا مدير المدينة.

آلي فيرغسون.

تشرفت بلقائك يا آلي فيرغسون.

أهلاً بكم في سبرينغفيل.

إنها مدينة رائعة...

التي أديرها.

لقد كنت هنا لمدة ستة أشهر،

لكن تم نقلي للتو إلى وسط المدينة.

أوه، هذا رائع.

حسنًا، إذا كنت بحاجة إلى أي مساعدة في التعرف على المنطقة،

أنا الشخص المناسب لك،

أو إذا كنت بحاجة إلى توصيات بشأن المطاعم.

أقدر ذلك.

في الحقيقة، أتمنى أن يكون هناك مطعم تايلاندي جيد في الجوار.

أوه، أجل، سابهاي. إنه رائع.

حسناً! سأتحقق من ذلك.

نعم، أخبر السيدة بما أرسلته لك.

سأفعل ذلك.

[يضحك، ثم يتوقف]

اسمع، همم...

بخصوص تلك التذكرة.

نعم.

هل يمكنك التوقيع هنا من فضلك؟

تمام.

يمكنك الدفع...

عن طريق الشيك، أو عبر الإنترنت، أو شخصياً، في مبنى البلدية.

[يتلعثم] أجل، إنه يقع على بعد بابين من مكتبي.

أوه، هذا فعال.

حسنًا! أتمنى لك يومًا سعيدًا.

وأكرر شكري الجزيل على التوصية التايلاندية.

لقد عشت هنا طوال حياتي.

لم أحصل على مخالفة أبداً!

[ينفخ بغضب]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[تيريزا] صباح الخير يا آلي!

[آلي] صباح الخير.

تيريزا، هل لديكِ أي معلومات عن ذلك البيانو؟

أي بيانو؟

البيانو في الشرفة.

هل يوجد بيانو في الشرفة؟

من أين أتى؟

هذا ما أطلبه منك.

حسنًا، لم أكن أعلم بوجود بيانو في الشرفة.

هل هناك حفل موسيقي أو شيء آخر لا نعرفه؟

ليس على حد علمي،

وهذا قد يثبت وجهة نظرك بالفعل.

لماذا يوجد بيانو في الشرفة؟

هذا هو سؤال اليوم.

إدارة الحدائق والمنتزهات هي اختصاصك،

إذا كنت لا تعرف عنه، فمن سيعرفه؟

أتمنى أن تكون أنت رئيس البلدية.

أنت تعرف كيف هي بيروقراطية المدينة.

ربما يوجد تطبيق

عالق في مكان ما داخل الآلات.

أنت تعرف

ذلك المبنى الذي يضم نافورة في ساحة المدينة

هو شرط

منحة مؤسسة فان ويلكنسون العائلية.

إذا لم نلتزم بجدولنا الزمني،

لا يمكننا بناءه بحلول نهاية العام،

ونخسر تمويلنا.

هل تريد حقاً أن تقول وداعاً؟

ماذا عن جميع خططنا لإعادة تنشيط وسط المدينة؟

لقد عملنا لأكثر من عام على تأمين تلك المنحة.

لن أدع أي شيء يعرضه للخطر، أعدك بذلك.

شكرًا لك.

أعتقد أن البيانو في الشرفة فكرة جيدة.

قد يكون الأمر ممتعاً نوعاً ما.

ليس عندما يأتي فريق الهدم غداً

لهدمه.

سيتعين علينا إزالته بحلول ذلك الوقت.

حسنًا، علينا الاتصال بالمرافق--

سيتعين على دوني، في قسم الهندسة، التأكد من

تمت إزالته بأمان.

ماذا بعد؟

أعتقد أننا بحاجة إلى تقديم بلاغ للشرطة.

لماذا؟

يوجد بيانو عشوائي في ساحة المدينة.

ماذا لو سُرق؟

هل سرق أحدهم بيانو وتركه في الشرفة؟

لماذا؟

ربما لم يتمكنوا من وضعها

في صندوق سيارة هروبهم؟

[يضحك]

هل تريدون تقسيم الأمور والسيطرة عليها؟

لا! سأنجز كل هذا، وسأتخلص من البيانو بحلول وقت الغداء.

[♪♪♪]

[يُزفر]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[يعزف لحنًا استعراضيًا]

عفواً سيدي الضابط. كنتُ فقط...

لا، لا، لا، لا! لا بأس.

هل يُسمح لي بالذهاب؟

أجل، أجل، انطلق.

بالمناسبة، أنت رائع حقاً!

أرجوك لا تخبر أحداً، حسناً؟

[♪♪♪]

أكره أن أزعجك بهذا،

لكنني كنت أعمل على هذا البيانو الغامض

في الشرفة.

ألم تضعها المدينة هناك؟

لا، ولا نستطيع معرفة من فعل ذلك.

- كيف يمكنني المساعدة؟ - حسنًا، قبل أن أسحبها بعيدًا،

أحتاج إلى تقرير من الشرطة، تحسباً لسرقته.

بإمكاننا فعل ذلك.

في الحقيقة...

أعرف الشخص المثالي لهذه الوظيفة.

آلي، قابلي الضابط برويت.

[♪♪♪]

لقد التقينا.

[ريان] ظننت أنه من المفترض أن يكون هنا.

متى كانت المرة الأولى التي رأيت فيها البيانو؟

حوالي الساعة التاسعة؟

لكن إذا كنت بحاجة إلى وقت أكثر دقة،

كان الأمر يتعلق بـ

بعد خمس دقائق من إعطائك لي مخالفة عبور الشارع من غير المكان المخصص.

[أصوات رنين المفاتيح]

سأتحقق من ذلك، شكراً لك.

هل يمكنك التفكير في أي شخص ربما يكون قد وضعها هنا؟

اسمع، أنا فقط أحتاج إلى تقرير سريع.

الأمر أقرب إلى إجراء شكلي.

لا أستطيع إنهاء التقرير

دون إجراء تحقيق، حسناً؟

هناك إجراءات.

أقدر العملية بقدر ما يقدرها أي شخص آخر.

لكن...

أحد الأشياء التي تعلمتها من العمل في المدينة

إن اتباع عملية جامدة هو عدو الكفاءة.

الأمر يتعلق أكثر بروح القانون

والعمل معًا

لإنجاز الأهداف بسرعة.

بمعنى آخر، أنت تحب اختصار الطرق،

أو على الأقل عدم استخدامها عند عبور الشارع؟

الأمر لا يتعلق بالاختصارات!

الأمر يتعلق بإنجاز الأمور

والوصول إلى خط النهاية بسرعة.

في ذلك السباق مع السلحفاة،

كيف سارت الأمور بالنسبة للأرنب؟ همم؟

[فرقعة]

كل ما أقوله هو أنك بحاجة إلى معرفة

ما هي العلاقات التي يجب استغلالها ومع من يجب التحدث.

في هذه المدينة، أفعل ذلك.

رائع! يمكنك أن تعرفني على بعضنا البعض.

إلى أي شخص أحتاج للتحدث معه بخصوص التحقيق.

هل يوجد متجر موسيقى في هذه المنطقة؟

أو مكان ما قد يكون فيه بيانو احتياطي؟

نعم... في شارع باي.

ممتاز. لنبدأ من هنا.

رائع. [يتنهد]

هل هناك خطب ما ؟

لا! كل شيء على ما يرام.

دعنا نذهب.

تمام.

من هنا يا ضخم!

مجرد حملة انتخابية...

مرحباً يا ديكس.

آلي! مرحباً.

أهلاً. أوه...

هل وصلتك رسالتي؟

آه، نعم، آسف. لقد كان يوماً حافلاً.

لا داعي للقلق.

الأمر يتعلق بالحفل الموسيقي الذي سيقام الشهر المقبل.

هل ما زلت ترغب بالذهاب؟

أقصد، كأصدقاء.

ظننت أن لديك حفلة؟

تم نقله، لذا أنا الآن متفرغ تماماً.

حسنًا. اممم، أجل. أجل، هيا بنا.

على أي حال، ديكس هولواي، هذا الضابط برويت.

لديه بعض الأسئلة لك.

كيف يمكنني مساعدتك؟

نحن هنا بخصوص بيانو.

حسناً، لقد أتيت إلى المكان الصحيح.

لا يا ديكس، لقد ترك أحدهم بيانو

في الشرفة الموجودة في ساحة المدينة.

أوه، هذا رائع حقاً.

أجل، إلا أن ذلك يحدث تحديداً في المكان الذي نبدأ فيه أعمال البناء.

من أجل النافورة الجديدة،

لذا علينا أن نعرف من وضعها هناك.

هل تتعرف على هذا؟

أنا لا أعتقد ذلك.

إذن أنت لم تضعه هناك؟

لا، لم أكن أنا.

حسنًا، ممتاز. شكرًا لك يا ديكس.

حسنًا، أخبرني إن كنت أستطيع مساعدتك في أي شيء آخر. هل يمكنك مراسلتي؟

أجل، بالتأكيد.

بدا لطيفاً.

نعم، إنه لطيف.

هاه.

و؟

و... كنا نتواعد بشكل متقطع.

مغلق حاليًا.

هل الأمر بهذه الوضوح؟

انظر، قد يكون هذا يومي الأول كضابط شرطة مجتمعية،

لكن، همم...

لم يكن من الصعب جداً معرفة ذلك.

حسناً، أنا أصدقه.

عندما يقول إنه لم يضع البيانو هناك.

حسنًا، من سنجري معه المقابلة التالية؟

كم عدد الأشخاص الذين يتعين علينا التحدث إليهم؟

أكثر من واحد، وأقل من المدينة بأكملها.

حسنًا، أحتاج إلى إنجاز هذا اليوم.

هيا بنا ننطلق!

[سخرية محبطة]

حسنًا، شكرًا جزيلًا لك.

and let me know if you think of anything.

Bye-bye.

Okay, so all of the school's pianos are accounted for,

so it wasn't a senior class prank.

I didn't think so.

It's not the kind of shenanigans kids get up to.

"Shenanigans"? What is this, a musical?

What, your senior class didn't do a prank?

We did not leave a piano in a gazebo.

It was a Chevy in a school gym.

I'm surprised!

By...?

You don't strike me as the type who breaks the rules,

and I got a jaywalking ticket to prove it.

Youthful rebellion.

And I learned pretty fast

that the Army doesn't like shenanigans, either.

You were in the Army?

Thank you for your service.

It was an honor.

Well... we've talked to about a dozen people,

and nobody knows where that piano came from.

Can we wrap this up and finish the report now?

Yeah, I think we've done our due diligence.

Great!

I've got a crew waiting at the gazebo

to haul the piano away.

Did you arrange that

before we finished the investigation?

Just being efficient.

[piano playing]

And one, two, three... stretch!

Lift that leg!

Good!

- [claps] - Very nice, everyone!

Take five.

[laughing and chatting indistinctly]

Allie, I love this piano. Was this your idea?

No. We're here to take it away, actually.

Really? But the-- the kids love it.

I even got a new student because of it!

[Allie] Oh, really?

She saw us practicing

and convinced her mom to let her sign up.

I should've thought of this ages ago!

Uh, "should have" thought of it?

Did you have something to do with this?

No! I just-- I mean, it's a great idea!

Well, great or not, it has to go.

Sorry.

Okay, kids.

Back to the studio!

[ballerinas groaning]

It really is a shame.

[sighs] Sorry.

Okay, guys...

take it away!

Well, it wasn't as fast

as this hare would've liked to make it to the finish line,

but I appreciate the tortoise's help.

Any time.

Does this mean we can say "case closed"?

[laughs]

If it makes you happy, yeah.

Um...

I'll see you around.

Sure. See you around!

[♪♪♪]

the Mayor wants to make sure

the site is cleared

before we...

I thought they moved the piano?

They did!

Well, they did a terrible job.

[blurts out] Who is doing this?

Does this mean we have to start the whole process over again?

The paperwork, the police?

Well, there's the crew coming to tear down the gazebo.

I don't want to lose another whole day

while Officer By-the-Book does another investigation.

You mean him?

[♪♪♪]

Okay, you know what?

Stall him!

- Stall him? - Yeah, go, go.

- How? Wait! - I don't know.

- Wait. - Just say something.

Say that your cat is stuck in a tree!

Hey! Hey, guys!

So, slight change of plan. Who wants to move a piano?

All right, well, thank you very much.

Have a great day.

Hey! Hi!

I'm Theresa. I work with Allie. Hi. How are you?

I'm great. I'm Ryan Pruitt.

Ryan! So nice to meet you.

So... what do you do?

I'm a police officer.

Right... hence the uniform.

- Uh-huh. Yeah. - Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. That tracks.

The uniform. Okay. It was very nice to meet you.

I have to get going.

Wait!

I... actually...

need a police officer.

Right. I need to report a crime.

- You do? - Mm-hmm.

What kind of crime?

How about you give me a few options,

and I'll let you know if you get it right?

[♪♪♪]

I know your work order doesn't cover moving a piano,

but since you're here, and it needs to get done,

maybe you can just do both?

I mean, what's the crime?

Um...

[Ryan] I could name a few.

Sorry.

[♪♪♪]

How did this even get back here?

Maybe it's a player piano.

You know, they-they do things by themselves.

If you ever take the detective's exam,

I hope you leave those kinds of theories

off the essay portion.

Where did your moving crew put it?

On the loading dock, behind City Hall,

until we could figure out what to do with it a--

Huh!

Huh? What, "huh"?

We have to reopen the investigation.

What? No!

I already have all the necessary approvals

to move this piano.

You signed off on it.

Why can't we just... do it again?

Because this is a different piano.

Are you sure?

Same style, different brand!

The other one had a scratch on the top.

Well, okay, fine, fine.

Do an investigation,

but can we at least still move this piano?

I mean, the construction crew

are here to tear down the gazebo.

What are they gonna do?

[foreman begins playing]

[♪♪♪]

Yeah, I think they'll find a way to keep themselves amused.

Besides, the gazebo is technically a crime scene.

It is not a crime, or it's barely one.

I mean, you said yourself

it's probably just a harmless prank--

high school, if not college kids.

College kids don't get up to these types of shenanigans,

and they certainly don't have

an abundance of pianos lying around.

I can't think of who would stand to benefit from this.

[picks up the tempo]

[♪♪♪]

♪ Oh, when the saints ♪

♪ Go marching in ♪

♪ Oh, when the saints go marching in ♪

♪ Oh, I want to be in that number ♪

♪ When the saints go marching in ♪

♪ Whoa, when the saints ♪

♪ Go ♪

♪ Marching ♪

♪ In ♪

[crowd applauding]

People seem to really like this.

Yeah, well, like it or not,

unless we can put a fountain on top of it,

it has to go.

Do we really need a new police report?

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

[sighs]

I don't suppose we can just copy the last one?

Come on! Aren't you just the least bit curious

about who's doing this?

Hmm? It's a real-life mystery.

Professor Plum in the ballroom with a candlestick?

Ooh, now we're talking.

Okay, fine.

[sighs]

I thought the crew needed a little entertainment

while we wait.

That was great.

How many songs do you know?

We need to postpone the demolition until tomorrow,

until we figure out who's leaving these pianos here.

Tomorrow's Saturday, and I'm out of town.

I could move some things around and do it Tuesday?

Can you move more things around and do it Monday?

[chuckles]

I'll throw in tickets to the county fair!

You drive a hard bargain.

All right.

Now, since we don't have anything better to do...

Theresa, I'll see you at the office.

[foreman resumes playing]

We've got a few days to figure this out.

"We"?

When did this become a "we"?

If this isn't solved by the time they return on Monday,

you're gonna end up paying him to put on another concert.

Oh, I wonder if he takes requests.

Okay, well, fine, but we do this fast, right?

Yeah, yeah, of course. Where to next?

[sighs] I don't know.

I mean, we've already talked to everyone I can think of.

All right, let's talk to 'em again.

Who's our main suspects?

Monica Murphy?

She did say she got a new student

because of the piano

and that she should've thought of it,

so let's start there.

I left around 8:00 last night.

The piano wasn't there. I would have noticed.

Your security camera

only shows your front door, right?

Yeah, you can't see the square.

And you didn't see anyone else playing it?

Not that I remember.

[Allie] Then there's Wyatt O'Connor.

He's been complaining about Monica playing music next door.

Maybe he put the piano there to get her out of the way.

I also heard he supports

the music program at the high school.

There you go.

Like I was saying--

I arranged a bunch of instruments

to be donated--

the band has to be good,

if you're gonna play the football games.

Any pianos?

Not too many pianos in the marching band,

but the theater department has one, I think.

Do you play?

[laughs] Me? No!

But, uh, Sam used to,

but he's more into football now.

Right, Sam?

Right.

[♪♪♪]

[Allie] And lastly,

there's Julia Hanson at the second-hand store.

She's the only other person I know

who'd have access to pianos.

We get pianos occasionally from estate sales,

but I don't have any right now.

You know, I think that you should just leave it.

No, I've seen people out there--

they're playing and singing and dancing!

Oh, I mean, anything

that gets people to look up from their phones

and stop rushing around

is okay in my books.

People don't connect like they used to.

Well, Springville's a pretty small town, Julia.

We connect here.

I stop and talk to you and Freddie every morning,

on my way to work.

You say hi, we talk about the weather,

and then you're off.

Well, I have a lot of responsibilities.

I-I don't want to miss anything.

Slow down once in a while.

That's when you find real connection.

[♪♪♪]

[Beth] What are you doing here on your day off?

I'm just working on the report for the piano case.

We spoke to at least 20 people, I reviewed the security cameras,

I even tried tracing the serial numbers,

but we've hit a dead end.

Do you have any other ideas?

Nothing that Allie probably hasn't told you.

How's working with her?

Ha! We've been having a very spirited

"tortoise v. hare" debate.

Yeah, she doesn't understand

that police work is a systematic process.

Details matter.

Well, it's not like

you're taking down some major crime syndicate.

It's a couple of pianos in a gazebo.

Ah, I just feel like I am missing something.

You know, it feels unfinished.

Get used to that. We don't solve every case.

I'd like to solve my first one.

Some advice?

Maybe let the hare win this one.

[♪♪♪]

[Allie] Well, hello, there!

Hello.

I almost didn't recognize you out of uniform.

Well, police officers get days off, too.

Oh. Well, what is this "day off" you speak of?

I wanted to drop off the report.

I know you're on a deadline.

Wait, we're done? Really?

I'm not sure we've talked

to every single resident of Springville yet.

Well, if you didn't know them all before,

you certainly do now.

I certainly do.

Yeah. I meet a lot of people at my job.

You will, too.

In the next couple years,

you'll even be on a first-name basis

with the regular tourists.

I probably won't be here long enough

for that to happen.

- Oh, where are you going? - Back home to Seattle.

Yeah, I'm gonna be on the force there, eventually.

Oh, have you applied?

Yeah. Yeah, I aced the tests,

but, uh, not so much on the interview portion.

The answer is always "world peace".

[chuckles] Yeah, I can reapply again in six months.

So, Springville's just a pit stop?

I'm still committed to the job.

And what does Seattle have that we don't?

Fewer pianos being left in gazebos.

Yeah. Not a lot of true crime podcast-worthy things

- happen here. - Mm-mm.

Well, I'm sorry we didn't defeat piano guy.

Piano woman?

We gotta work on that name.

- Yeah. Yes. - Mm-hmm.

No, yeah, I would've loved to, uh, figure this one out,

being my first case here.

That's why I was being so thorough.

I appreciate it.

I do! I do.

If I can't have something done right and quickly,

I'd rather have it done right.

Did that hurt you, to say that out loud?

A little bit.

[laughs]

Okay, uh...

I'll let you get back to your, uh... your day off.

Yeah.

You know, I mean...

we could go over the case one more time.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with being thorough.

Okay.

[Allie] Oh, that house back there had a camera.

We couldn't see the gazebo. I'm gonna make a note.

Were you always like this?

Did you have fast-and-efficient tea parties,

always done in one hour instead of two?

Uh, no, actually.

The opposite.

I grew up in Philly,

and my mom still lives there,

and after my dad passed, it was just the two of us,

and let's just say

I had a very unstructured childhood.

Your mom wasn't big into rules and regulations?

Exactly.

She was, and still is, a child of the '60s,

and embraced

a very whatever-makes-you-happy kind of parenting style.

So how did you...

Become the goal-oriented

and accomplished person I am today?

Sure! We can use your words.

Uh, after missing one too many school trips

because I didn't have a signed permission form,

I took it upon myself

to make sure I never missed out on anything again.

And so you were responsible for everything?

That must have been hard.

Yeah, but it made me who I am.

Can't be mad about it.

Honestly, I never saw

an opportunity I didn't like the look of.

Including joining the rush

of working for small-town government?

Yeah, only to find out we don't rush much,

but I'm working on that.

Uh, there's a camera.

This can probably see the gazebo.

It looks like the right angle.

This is Frank Myer's place, but he's on vacation.

We can follow up once he gets back.

Or... we can find out now.

Uh, what are you-- what are you doing?

That's--

[whispers] Hey! You're trespassing.

Relax. Frank won't mind.

He owes me a favor.

I could arrest you right now.

Come on.

Did you never climb things when you were a kid?

You and I had very different childhoods.

Oh, let me guess. Military family?

Police. Close.

Um, the opposite of unstructured, you know?

Thanksgiving with them in Seattle,

it consisted of a very, you know, rigid schedule

and-and not much climbing, or whatever you're doing.

Listen, structure and rules are important,

but so is time for play.

Aren't you ever spontaneous?

Yeah, I plan time for hobbies.

Oh... so scheduled fun?

You must be great at parties.

[♪♪♪]

Just... careful.

Oh...

Oh, no.

There's a tree blocking the gazebo.

Okay, so, maybe sometimes,

being spontaneous doesn't pay off.

I stand by my statement.

Okay, you want to stand by it on solid ground?

All right.

Whoops!

- Sorry. - You okay?

Yeah, sorry. Thank you. Sorry.

Yeah.

It's fine.

[both chuckling awkwardly]

Um...

well, I think we've covered all the houses, so...

Yeah.

Is it okay to call the facilities

and have them move the piano now?

Yes, we are all done here.

I am surprised you don't have the crew waiting on standby

at the gazebo already.

[chuckles]

You have the crew standing by

in the gazebo already, don't you?

No, no.

They're in a truck, near the gazebo.

There it is.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, I'll head back to the gazebo

and meet you there.

Okay, I'll see you in a minute.

Okay, bye.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, you're Sam, right?

Yeah, I was just taking a shortcut.

Um... bye.

Sam! Sam, wait.

If you want to play the piano, it's okay,

but it is your last chance.

The guys are coming to take it away in a minute.

Really?

I mean-- [grunts]

Uh, it's okay. I don't really need to play.

It'd be fine if you did. You're really good.

Nah. [chuckles]

You think?

Yeah, you're really good.

Do you have a piano at home?

No, we-we used to,

but since football takes up most of my free time,

my dad didn't think we needed one in the house.

Do you like football?

Yeah! Yeah, I mean, I'm good at it...

at least, that's what everyone tells me.

Why don't you, uh... why don't you go ahead?

I mean, one last time,

before they, uh, you know, take it away.

[bench scrapes floor]

Okay.

[begins playing]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[stops playing]

Do you want to join me?

Hi.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, they're ready.

[piano playing continues]

Let's give it a minute.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[crowd applauding]

That was a nice send-off for the piano.

Can we take a look at this?

Are you in the market for a desk?

Well, my apartment came furnished,

but there's no good place to work.

That's the way it should be.

Once you're home, you're off-duty.

I'll make sure to ask the criminals

to respect my work-life balance.

Oh, ho! A funny cop.

Oh... that's just what this town needs.

Well, come on in.

I guess we're shopping.

I guess we are.

[Allie chuckles]

Thanks for coming in.

- Hey, Allie! - Hi.

Officer Pruitt? Uh, what did my grandma do now?

- He's here to buy a desk. - Ah.

My grandson thinks I'm a troublemaker.

Your grandson knows you're a troublemaker.

Desks are over there.

Just yell if you see something you like.

- Great, thank you. - Thank you.

What about this one?

Yeah, it's, uh... no!

That's-that's-- that's too expensive.

I don't want to spend, you know, too much

on something temporary.

Mm. Right, Seattle.

Why don't you just take it with you?

You gonna help me move?

Oh, um, I can't, because, um...

I'm busy that day,

and I hurt my back,

and my grandma is--

Uh-huh. Yeah. That's what I thought.

No, I'm going to keep my place pretty simple.

Pretty much what's in there

is what was in there when I moved in.

Mm. So you haven't put a personal touch on it at all?

Not even a plant.

Well then...

We have some work to do.

[chuckles]

- Yes. - Yeah? It's not too heavy?

No, it's not too heavy.

Yeah, I think this is the perfect spot.

You get the best light.

Don't want to have bad light.

I still think you should've got that vase you liked.

Flowers bring so much life to a place.

Sure, but men don't often receive flowers.

I think we bought plenty of...

items.

You snuck this past me.

I did.

[both chuckling]

Yeah, I mean, I guess this is all only temporary, right?

Right.

Okay. There's already a nail there.

- Should we put it there? - Yeah, sure.

- Want to help me? - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

There we go.

[♪♪♪]

Wow, it looks great.

Yeah, it does.

So...

they're demolishing the gazebo on Monday.

Yeah, unless something else gets in the way.

Well, it looks good in here.

It's more... lived-in.

I should probably go.

Um... on the other hand...

we didn't expect there to be a second piano.

Maybe a third isn't out of the question.

Well, what do you want to do about it?

Have you ever been on a stakeout?

[♪♪♪]

[gasps] A stakeout?

I love it!

Do you get to be in a van with high-tech equipment?

Ooh! You should get some night-vision goggles.

I'll put in a requisition.

Was this the Mayor's idea?

No, it was Ryan's.

Ryan?

Officer Pruitt!

So you're gonna be up, all night,

under the stars, with...

- "Ryan"? - Why do I tell you things?

Yeah, you'd think you'd have learned your lesson by now.

I'm only doing this to make sure

that nothing happens

before the demolition crew gets there tomorrow.

Just be careful.

I am always careful.

Besides, I'm sure we'll have full support

of the police department.

[Beth] The department

is absolutely not gonna support this.

Ma'am--

...Sarge, you know how important this is to the Mayor.

The Mayor asked you to stake out the town square?

No.

But... apparently, she's very gung-ho about it.

So you want to sit all night

guarding a gazebo by yourself?

Well, I'm not gonna, uh... be by myself.

The City Manager, she volunteered to help me out.

Oh. I thought you were happy to be rid of Allie.

Now you want to spend a whole night in a car with her?

This is the best way to stop a crime from happening.

At worst, it's illegal dumping.

Not even stakeout-worthy.

Okay, fine.

But you're not being paid overtime,

and you're using your own car and buying your own coffee.

And not from my brother-in-law's place.

Deal!

City codes?

You need to join a new book club.

No, that's actually really interesting.

Every city has different rules.

For instance,

Springville has entire sections

on public murals, naming conventions, and bees.

Can we name this place "Nothing Happening Square"?

[sighs] It's been hours.

It's been 45 minutes.

[sighs] Feels like hours.

I can do this by myself.

And let you take all the glory

while you catch the ne'er-do-well?

[laughs] Ne'er-do-well?

Outlaw. Scoundrel?

Oh, sorry, one second.

Yeah?

Oh.

Sorry, the 1800s called, and they want their words back.

But what do you call someone who puts pianos in gazebos?

Someone who has way too much time on their hands.

It needs work.

- This is gonna be a long night. - [laughing]

So...

tell me about the man, the mystery,

Mr. Ryan Pruitt.

You know everything.

From Seattle,

law enforcement family,

joined the Army, police officer.

That's all you're gonna give me?

I thought you'd appreciate the efficiency.

But you know I'm gonna just keep on bothering you

if you don't talk,

so that's just wasting time.

That's the opposite of efficient.

Has anyone ever told you

that you can be very frustrating?

They used other words, but yes.

[laughs]

I grew up in Seattle...

in a little suburb.

Two sisters.

We lived with our parents in a house near the water.

Oh. So...

a boat guy?

More like... "my dad really loves boats,

but I get terrible seasickness" kind of guy.

[laughs]

[♪♪♪]

You cannot mean that.

I do!

A hot dog is a sandwich.

Get out of my car. Next...

you're gonna be saying that cereal is a soup.

- Well-- - You've gotta be kidding me.

Okay, hold on here.

What are you doing?

[exhales] Proving a point.

[♪♪♪]

[Ryan laughs]

See?

I didn't say they were the same!

I said they were similar.

Mm, I'll take that as a win.

Oh, yeah?

- You can take that as a win? - Mm-hmm!

All right, congratulations.

- Thank you. - [laughing]

[♪♪♪]

Oh...

- Oh! - What? What?

Oh, yeah. There's someone at the gazebo.

Oh.

Stay down here. I'll get the binoculars.

You stay here. Stay here.

Stay here?

- [thud] - [groans]

- Are you okay? - Yeah! Shh!

"Stay down"? Pfft!

[panting]

Oh, yeah.

[breath catches, deflates]

[♪♪♪]

Really?

[sighs]

Whoa, whoa.

What are you doing?

Stopping you

from rushing into what could be a dangerous situation.

Okay, I don't think our piano guy/bad guy

is really gonna be that dangerous.

You never know where trouble lurks!

[heartfelt violin rises]

Danger rarely plays the violin.

[♪♪♪]

Yeah.

[violins playing]

Dex?

[♪♪♪]

Allie?

Shh, shh, shh.

[♪♪♪]

Yes!

[♪♪♪]

He's a friend of mine.

He asked me to play the piano for his proposal,

but since you had it removed, I had to improvise.

Okay, go, go. Sorry.

- Okay, okay, sorry. - Bye!

Sorry.

Congratulations!

[paper bag rustling]

A little blanket.

Oh, thank you.

That was a nice thing Dex did.

He seems like a good guy.

Yeah, he is.

So you guys were on-again, off-again?

Are you going to try again?

I don't know. [chuckles]

I mean, he checks all the boxes,

but his schedule's probably more packed than mine.

We get busy,

and our relationship takes a backseat,

and we break up,

and then we hang out,

and we start dating again,

and the cycle continues.

So what are the boxes?

Oh, I don't--

I mean, the usual stuff-- funny, kind, smart.

Thinks hot dogs are sandwiches?

[laughs] Yeah. Doesn't hurt.

I mean, it's not a deal-breaker, but...

Okay. What is?

Well, they have to want to get married...

and they have to want to have kids someday.

And they have to want to settle down

here in Springville.

[♪♪♪]

[exhales] Wow...

the stars are really beautiful tonight.

Yeah, they are.

[♪♪♪]

[groggily] Oh...

Sorry.

I must have fallen asleep.

It's okay.

I did, too.

[chuckles]

Oh, come on!

[♪♪♪]

How did this get past you?

So we had planned on staying awake,

um, but--

We fell asleep.

I take full responsibility.

Okay, well, we have to move it

before the demolition crew get here,

so I guess, you know, we'll just have to lift

from our knees.

No, Hope, I already called them off,

as soon as I saw the piano.

The soonest they can get here is Wednesday.

Oh, is that enough time?

Well, the groundbreaking is a week from today,

so we should be good.

[trainer] Okay, everyone!

Sorry, excuse us.

One lap around the square, and then we're done!

It's important to keep moving!

[Ryan] Look, I'm really sorry,

but we have to reopen the investigation.

No, we need to stop playing around.

I assure you, no one is playing around.

[woman begins playing rockabilly piano intro]

That was unfortunate timing.

Very.

[rousing piano continues]

[♪♪♪]

Wow! Lot of, uh, piano players in this town.

This is fantastic!

I love that the City put in a public piano.

Oh, we didn't, and it's not staying.

Oh! That's a shame.

[♪♪♪]

Um, Hope, can I talk to you for a second?

[♪♪♪]

Okay.

I'm-I'm wondering

if we might want to take a step back

and reconsider

if tearing down the gazebo is the right thing.

Allie!

Well, I'm just saying, people are loving the piano.

I get it-- the piano's nice, but...

the VanWilkinson family was clear about the grant.

We only get the funding if we build the memorial fountain

in the town square.

Well, at least let me find another place

to put the piano?

I just think

it's really making a difference in the community.

[rockabilly piano continues]

If that's what you want to do, then we'll do it.

Oh, thank you, and, well,

since the demolition isn't happening until Wednesday,

maybe we can leave the piano here

for a few days.

Sure, that's fine.

Thanks, Hope. See ya.

[Hope] See ya!

[♪♪♪]

[Beth] Hey, Ryan. You got a sec?

[Ryan] Hey, Sarge, what's up?

Call that number.

I set up another interview with Seattle PD.

Uh, I don't understand.

I was told I have to wait at least another six months

before I can try again.

I made a call. I know a guy.

Look, I like you.

I think you're a good fit for Springville,

and the job is yours as long as you want it,

but if you are gonna leave,

then I would rather you do it

before people start depending on you too much.

I mean, you're already Allie's guy.

No, no, she's not-- uh, I'm not-I'm not...

No. I'm, I'm-I'm...

I am a guy, though.

Not her guy, but did she-- did she say something?

I meant, professionally.

Yes. That's...

I did-- I did, too.

A word of advice.

If you ever commit a crime,

just confess,

because this...

is not gonna fool anybody.

[Beth snickers]

[rockabilly piano continues]

Whoa!

[♪♪♪]

Thank you!

That was great, guys.

[trainer begins an enchanting number]

[♪♪♪]

Oh, I know that look.

Time to get back to work.

Maybe a little spontaneous break won't hurt.

[♪♪♪]

[laughs]

Okay, so let's figure out the next steps to the case.

Look at you-- doing two things at once.

Don't forget,

we need to be methodical about this.

Okay, are you done?

Probably not.

[♪♪♪]

Here's the thing.

I'm not sure how much help I can be on the case.

I have another mystery on my hands.

I talked Hope into letting me put another piano somewhere.

So you want to keep the piano?

Well, everyone keeps saying

how vibrant downtown used to be,

and we've been looking

for ways to make it that way again.

Maybe this is one of those ways.

The mystery is, where to put it.

Well...

we could solve both of our mysteries together.

I have to canvass the neighborhood still,

and we could look for places to put the piano

at the same time.

You know what I call that?

- A great idea? - Efficient.

I'm rubbing off on you.

[chuckles]

Maybe a little.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, I talked to everybody on your list.

Nobody had any leads.

Maybe I should've worn the uniform.

Because then you could've gotten them to confess?

You never know.

Well, Beth told you not to wear it.

This sort of thing requires a personal touch.

Get people on your side.

Yeah. How's it going out here?

There's plenty of room for a piano.

Yeah, but there's no cover to put a piano under,

and I don't know, I'm just not feeling it.

Well, the town square has a certain romance.

Exactly! I mean, we witnessed a marriage proposal last night.

I-I can't imagine

that kind of thing happening out here.

Can't you get married in City Hall?

It would certainly be more, um, efficient.

That is a bonus, but I don't know.

I'm just-- I'm not picturing romance out here.

What are you doing?

Trying to help you picture it.

Allie Ferguson...

will you marry me?

[flirty laugh] Oh, Ryan!

[normal voice] This is the worst proposal I've ever seen.

It's the setting.

If I took the time to prepare a real proposal,

it would be the best ever.

I believe that.

[Wyatt] No! You're the one who needs a write-up!

Me? You're the one who started this.

- Me? - Yeah.

Monica, Wyatt, what is going on?

I came to file a formal complaint

about the noise from her business.

And I'm gonna file one about the smell from his.

Okay, well, look,

it's your prerogative to file a complaint,

and I can go inside and get the forms,

but maybe we can just take a breath

and try to talk this through.

It feels like this all started a few months ago, Monica,

when you started having early-morning classes.

Her music rattles the whole kitchen.

It's distracting.

What's distracting is the smell!

My students are complaining.

May I ask a question?

Please do.

Um, Monica,

are your speakers near your shared wall?

Yeah. How'd you know that?

My sister had the same problem in her dorm.

You just need to pad the speakers,

move them to the other side of the room,

and it shouldn't be an issue after that.

[Monica] Oh. I could do that.

Well, if Monica's willing to do that,

then I guess I can get a new fan,

and open up the windows when class is on--

that should reduce the smell.

- Really? - Yup.

That'll be great. Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm glad we could help.

Well, Officer Pruitt and I have a case to solve.

- Okay. - Bye.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Well, that went well.

- Yeah. - [chuckling]

Ah, well, it's too bad the center director isn't here.

Well, we can still poke around,

see if there's a good place for a piano.

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, yoga.

I actually wouldn't mind taking a class

after sleeping in the truck all night.

You do yoga?

Yeah, don't you?

I never tried it.

Class starts in 15, if you want to join.

Fate!

What? I mean, we're not-- we're not dressed for it.

There's a sporting good shop right across the street.

Uh... okay.

Yeah. Yeah, we're doing it.

[laughs] Okay.

[soothing music plays]

[♪♪♪]

[quietly] Just take your time

- and stay with the class. - Oh, sorry.

Okay.

[to class] Let's move into downward dog.

Hold...

and breathe...

[all exhaling]

Great form. Keep opening up those shoulders.

Everyone, warrior one.

What's that?

- Right leg forward. - Oh.

Forward, and then both hands up.

Like this. Yeah.

This is so slow!

[laughs]

I don't know how you make it look easy.

It just takes time and concentration.

Try focusing on your breath.

That keeps me in the moment.

[exhaling]

[instructor] Warrior two.

Try breathing with me.

[exhaling deeply]

How are you feeling?

Like I tested every ounce of patience I possess.

Yeah. The more you do it, the better you get.

Slow... and steady.

Wins the race?

And where have I heard that before?

I don't know.

Could we really fit a piano in here?

Whoa. Did you say a piano?

Please don't tell me you're gonna cram more stuff in.

You saw how packed it was today.

I'm just thinking out loud.

We're looking for a place to put a public piano.

Hmm. I don't think there's much room in the center,

but have you talked to that guy at the music store?

Dex at Holloway Music?

Yeah, him.

He might know a good place it could go.

Hmm, thanks.

Huh.

We should talk to Dex again.

Why? He said he didn't do it.

Yeah, because we asked him, "Did you do it?"

which he didn't-- what we should've asked him was,

did you sell the pianos to the person who did it?

Interesting.

[♪♪♪]

Yes. The first two were not mine,

but the one that's currently in the gazebo is from my store.

'Kay, who bought it?

I have no idea.

Someone came in after I left, paid cash.

Kenny took the sale.

Can we talk to him?

Oh, he's camping. He's off-grid until Tuesday.

It's okay.

Uh, we will figure it out.

See ya later. Thanks.

Uh, Allie? Can I talk to you for a second?

Sure.

Uh, I'll just be a few minutes. I'll meet you in the square.

Sure.

So a trip's come up with some friends,

and I'm not gonna be able to make it to the concert.

Yeah, um...

I wanted to talk to you about that, actually.

We keep circling a relationship

because we enjoy similar things,

but then we end up rescheduling being together, and...

I think it's because

the connection just isn't really there.

I'm realizing I need something more...

steady, more constant...

More like someone

who makes me slow down

and take a breath.

Okay. Yeah. No, I get that.

So we'll just stay friends?

Yeah, just friends.

Okay.

- I'll see you later. - Okay.

[soothing folk instrumental as duo plays]

[♪♪♪]

Why don't you join them?

Nah, there's too many people,

and music really isn't my thing.

That's not what I saw.

My dad wants me to focus on school and football.

Plus, with my shifts at the diner... [sighs]

I wish they weren't taking away the piano.

It's easy to come here on my breaks,

or when I'm out on a delivery,

and Dad's busy.

You really like playing the piano, don't you?

I love it.

Then you need to talk to your dad.

Yeah, he wouldn't understand.

He might, if he hears you play.

You need to find a way to connect with him, all right?

Tell him what you need.

Family can be much more supportive than you think.

Oh, gotta go.

- See ya later. - See ya.

- Hi. - He okay?

I think he's gonna be. Yeah.

How was your...

talk?

Clarifying.

Dex and I are just friends.

Nothing more.

I've never seen the square so busy.

There's usually nobody here.

Well... a fountain will be nice.

Yeah, but...

won't be like this.

There's something special about that piano.

I've gotta find a place for it.

Well, we've nixed the community center,

the wharf, City Hall Plaza,

about a dozen different street corners.

I just need more time.

Ugh. It's been a long day.

Why don't we meet tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.?

We can go over it all again.

Can you do 10:30?

I've got a... appointment.

Yeah, that works.

- Okay. - Okay.

Well, I'm gonna... take off.

I'm gonna get some food before I get home.

Thinking about trying that Thai place.

Oh, tell Mrs. Anong I sent you.

I will. What will that get me?

Extra packets of sweet chili sauce.

Oh, yes.

I know. I'm an impressive woman.

You really are.

Are you hungry?

I could eat.

[♪♪♪]

See? Now, was I right, or was I right?

You're right!

You're still wrong about hot dogs,

but definitely right about this.

Oh, it's getting late.

Yeah.

Didn't you say you had an appointment first thing?

Yeah. I have an interview with the Seattle PD.

Sergeant O'Leary set it up for me.

Oh, that's great.

Congratulations.

Congratulate me if I get the job.

The department, uh,

sent me a recording of my last interview,

and I just, it's--

all I can look at are the things I did wrong.

Mm. Such as?

They asked what "community" means to me,

and I said some stuff about protecting and serving.

And were you wearing tights when you said it?

Does have a certain "superhero" vibe, huh?

A little.

I mean, the sentiment is there...

but it doesn't really answer the question.

You've been here for a bit.

What have you learned about community?

It's about making friends...

creating opportunities for connection.

Mm-hmm.

When you're part of a community

and you're not just policing it,

you know what's actually going on,

and you can get to the core of a problem more efficiently...

and you want to help,

'cause you're part of that community, too.

Say that.

Cheers.

[both chuckling]

Kind of hot.

- Right? - That's the best.

I'm telling you.

[♪♪♪]

[exhales tensely]

[♪♪♪]

[playful theme rises]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[sniffs]

I think the law-and-order part of the job

is very important.

However...

I think it's even more important

for a police officer to be a part of the community.

[interviewer] What does "community" mean to you?

Well, um...

[♪♪♪]

I'm glad you asked.

[♪♪♪]

- [knocks] - Hi.

Hey!

Whoa... someone's been busy.

Yeah, I've been making progress.

I've even been researching other places with public pianos

to see how they managed it.

How did the interview go?

It was good... I think.

The flowers helped. Thank you.

You're welcome.

I know you'll get the job.

You seem like

the type who always gets what he wants.

This is what you want, right?

Yeah.

Then it's practically a done deal.

So, progress?

Yes. I've, uh,

I've pulled every photo of the town I could,

to see if I've missed a place where a piano could go,

something not obvious.

[Ryan] Wow. That gazebo has been there a long time.

Yeah, since the 1880s.

[Ryan] This one looks like it's from the 1970s.

You can see the--

Allie, is this who I think it is?

[♪♪♪]

Yes, it is!

[♪♪♪]

It was never about the fountain.

[♪♪♪]

You got married in the gazebo.

June 28th, 1975.

[chuckles tenderly]

Beautiful day.

You told us you didn't put the pianos in there.

I didn't. Made Freddie do it.

[Julia snickers]

It's not my fault

you didn't ask the right questions!

Where did you get all the pianos?

An estate sale...

but they only had two.

So you got the third one from Dex's store?

And I would've bought more, if you hadn't figured it out!

Grandma, now is not the time to admit that.

So you were just trying to save the gazebo?

Yeah.

I thought it would be easier to distract you

than to get anyone to care

about how much this place means to some silly old woman.

You're not silly.

You were just trying to protect the place you loved.

How did you come up with this idea?

- Freddie. [chuckles] - Okay, not on purpose!

Well, he-he showed me videos of public pianos,

and inspiration just struck, you know?

Yeah, we put the first one out there

because I thought it would slow you down a little

and get you to rethink things, and...

And the second one?

Have you seen the town square lately?

The piano has made everyone slow down, and...

and talk with each other,

and sing with each other and...

[chuckles softly] ...and dance with each other.

Real human connection...

the most powerful force in the world.

[♪♪♪]

[Hope] So that's it?

We can get rid of the piano,

and she's not going to do it again?

She promised she wouldn't, uh,

but more importantly, Freddie promised he wouldn't.

I think if it was up to her,

she'd buy every piano on the West Coast,

just to stall us.

I think it's really sweet.

I mean, she has so many memories with the gazebo.

Well, the fountain will be a place to make new memories,

and with the grant,

we can create more places for people to enjoy.

I just wish I found a place for the piano already.

I looked at city-owned properties,

but there is nowhere as perfect as the town square.

But how would that work in the long run?

The weather's nice now,

but what happens when it rains all winter?

I found a company that does weatherproof pianos,

and if it was in a place like the gazebo,

it would last even longer.

Allie...

I know.

I just wish there was a way I could make everybody happy.

We work in municipal government.

That's not possible.

So that's it?

Yeah, I guess.

[sighs]

Hi. It's Allie.

Can you send a crew to meet me at the gazebo?

[melancholy theme plays]

[♪♪♪]

[piano rumbles away]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

When you get the job--

...If I get the job.

When.

Would you leave right away?

No, I'd like to take my time

and make sure I didn't leave any loose ends.

I wouldn't expect anything less.

[chuckles]

It's quiet out here.

I was thinking the same thing.

At least we got the job done.

Once the gazebo's gone, I guess that's that.

It's funny, at this point in a project,

I'm usually thinking about the next thing,

worried I might be missing something.

But...?

It's quiet out here.

Yeah.

Yes, it is.

I'm gonna figure out how to make the piano work.

[sighs] I just wish I had more time.

Maybe I could've even saved the gazebo.

If anyone can do the job...

it's you.

It's not about the job.

I've really enjoyed working with you.

For the first time,

I feel like...

I'm not missing anything.

I feel like I am right where I'm supposed to be.

Yeah, me too.

[♪♪♪]

I--

we can't.

I'm sorry. I, um...

I should go.

I need to make sure everything is set for tomorrow.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Me too.

Um, I'll, uh...

see you at the finish line.

Yeah.

See you.

[♪♪♪]

Best Thai food in town.

[chuckling] Uh, yeah, it really is.

You know, if I get the job, Seattle is less than

a three-hour drive.

I might have to come back just for this.

Well, I'm sure Seattle has great Thai food.

Yeah, but can I get extra sweet chili packets there?

What?

Never mind.

If you do get the job,

we're really gonna miss you around here, Ryan.

Thank you, Beth.

Yeah. See?

Only took you a week.

Didn't take long to fit in at all.

[Beth chuckles]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Okay, so you can have this torn down

and the site cleared by the end of the day, right?

Well...

You gotta be kidding me!

[♪♪♪]

[sighs]

[Ryan] That's why we're here.

We're gonna just-- Just give me one second.

[calling out] All right, everyone!

Apparently, there's a new piano.

Yeah, and I didn't do it!

Freddie?

Oh, she didn't ask me to do it, either.

- Dex? - Not me.

Hold on. Let me go take a look at it.

No, it's not one from my store.

Somebody has to know where it came from.

That's the same piano as the first one.

How do you know that?

I don't know.

It just looks the same, I guess.

You know, from a distance.

Huh! No, no, he's right.

No, that's the first piano that we put in here.

So we keep getting rid of them, and they keep coming back?

It's like a horror movie.

Someone must've taken it

from the loading dock behind City Hall.

Yeah.

Why don't we just leave it here?

It's clear everybody wants it!

[all] Yeah!

Everybody, please--

[chuckles awkwardly]

...we hear you,

and Allie is already, uh,

working on finding a place to put a public piano.

It just can't be here.

Please tell me that we can remove it

before we have to do another investigation?

Yeah, that's not a problem.

With the other pianos,

we didn't know where it came from

or who it belonged to.

We know this one belongs to Julia,

so the question remains--

who took it from City Hall and placed it here?

But we can get rid of it now and ask that question later,

because we need to tear down the gazebo today.

Yeah, that's fine.

Okay, Freddie,

how long will it take

for you to get a dolly and one of your friends

and move it back to the store?

Uh, maybe 30 minutes?

We can move the demolition to this afternoon,

if we do the other job now, come back for 2:00?

2:00?

[piano intro rises]

[♪♪♪]

Sorry... couldn't help it.

Though--

while the piano's still here, we might as well play it.

A last hurrah?

You know, I have class in a few.

Dex, would you mind if I bring the kids over?

One last dance in the square?

- Oh, yeah! - [crowd agreeing]

The more, the merrier.

Tell them to bring their friends.

That's good news, huh?

Now you have extra time to find a spot for the piano.

I... I can't believe my luck.

And now that the investigation's back on,

I can help.

[phone buzzing]

Ah... hold on one second.

Ryan here.

Oh, hello.

Thank you.

I will keep an eye out for it.

Okay, bye.

What's up? Everything okay?

I got the job.

You did?

Oh, that's great. Uh...

I knew you would. Congratulations.

[chuckles] Thank you.

Wow. So, uh...

I guess Beth will be taking over the case.

Yeah, she can, if, uh...

it's what you think's best.

Um...

yeah, maybe it's for the best.

You know, it's a...

Springville community matter now.

Right.

Yeah, it's a Springville community matter.

Well, I-I should go.

Um...

I, uh, I hope Seattle is...

everything you wish it to be.

Okay, I'll see you later.

[♪♪♪]

♪ You make me smile ♪

♪ Silhouettes on a cityscape ♪

♪ Watching the moon take shape ♪

♪ Smile ♪

♪ With your presence so sincere ♪

So many people have been using the piano.

It's amazing.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

Yeah.

♪ You make me smile ♪

♪ You make me Smile... ♪

♪ You make me smile ♪

[applauding and cheering]

You know what would be even more amazing?

If you took a turn up there.

Maybe it's time

you showed your dad what you really love to do.

[background chatter, indistinct]

Yeah.

[indistinct conversations]

[begins playing]

[♪♪♪]

You have a talented son.

I didn't realize he liked playing anymore, but...

wow, he's phenomenal.

Well, maybe you should tell him that.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe I should.

[♪♪♪]

[stops suddenly]

Why didn't you tell me you could play like this?

I-I thought you'd be mad.

Never.

You're amazing,

and if you love this...

I will always support you.

Now go on, son.

[resumes playing]

[♪♪♪]

I don't want to interrupt.

No, come on in.

Are we doing the right thing?

It's like the whole town has suddenly found

this thing they love.

I know what you mean.

I never knew a piano would fit so well,

until it was there.

Any luck on finding a new place for it?

I'm going over the grant paperwork.

I know there's an answer.

I'm just-- I'm trying to go slow and take my time--

Take your time? Hmm!

It looks like Officer Pruitt is rubbing off on you.

Has he started working on the case

of who put piano four there?

I don't know.

Um, I think Beth is taking over.

Why? You two are great together.

He got a job in Seattle.

Oh...

he's leaving?

Really?

Oh, I thought you two were getting close.

No, it was just work.

Or you could tell him you like him.

I don't know what you mean.

Oh.

Anyway, I should get back to work.

Sure thing.

I will be at the gazebo if you need anything.

Thank you.

[phone buzzing]

[chuckles]

[♪♪♪]

[Beth] Aren't you done for the day?

I'm just finishing up my notes on the piano case

so you can hit the ground running.

You got the job?

Yeah, I did. Just found out.

Um, still have to go over all the details,

but I wanted to say thank you.

Sure you don't want to finish this last case?

You worked extra-diligent on this one.

No, I think it's probably for the best

if I turn it over to you.

Is this because of Allie?

Let's just say there may be a, um...

a conflict of interest.

Plus, I'm leaving.

I'm not gonna be part of this community anymore.

You know, someone recently pointed out to me

that Seattle is less than a three-hour drive from here.

إذا كان الأمر يستحق عناء القيادة لتناول الطعام التايلاندي،

ربما يستحق الأمر القيام بهذه الرحلة لأسباب أخرى.

حسناً، تلك الأشياء الأخرى

هي أكثر تعقيداً بكثير من الطعام التايلاندي.

هل هم كذلك؟

أم أنك تقول إنها أكثر تعقيداً؟

لأن ذلك أسهل من مواجهته مباشرة؟

حسنًا، ربما سأنهي القضية.

ربما أعرف حتى من ترك البيانو الأخير هناك.

من؟

لستُ مستعداً للقول بعد.

أعتقد أنهم كانوا يصنعون أشياءً

الأمر أكثر تعقيداً بقليل مما كان ينبغي.

أظن أنهم كانوا كذلك.

اذهب وأحضرها.

[♪♪♪]

آلي، أريد التحدث إليكِ.

ريان، ماذا تفعل هنا؟

[♪♪♪]

- أهلاً. - مرحباً.

أردت أن...

تحقق من أشرطة منطقة التحميل.

إنه أمر مهم.

هل ما زلت تتابع القضية؟

أجل. لم أكن أريد أن أترك أي شيء غير مكتمل...

...من أجل المجتمع.

أه، هل توصلت إلى الحل بعد؟

أنت تشهد

محاولتنا الأخيرة للحفاظ على الشرفة.

حقاً؟ هل تعتقد أنك تستطيع فعل ذلك؟

المنحة محكمة الإغلاق،

إلا إذا تمكنا من العثور على مرسوم

وهذا ما يحافظ على البيانو والأكشاك.

لست متأكدًا مما إذا كان ذلك منصوصًا عليه في قانون المدينة.

لكن ربما هناك قانون قديم أغفلناه.

هل تقصد أنك لا تعرف جميع قوانين المدينة؟

إنها تتغير من وقت لآخر.

لا شيء محسوم.

يمين.

"لا شيء محسوم."

[إدراكًا] لا شيء ثابت...

حسنًا، سأجري مكالمة سريعة.

حسناً؟ حسناً، سأراك عند الشرفة.

حسناً، سأقابلك هناك.

أعتقد أنني فهمت الأمر للتو.

واحد...

هذا الجزء من شارع الثاني،

تم تغيير اسم هذا الشارع إلى شارع بنتون، في عام 1968.

وتم تغيير اسم شارع دوغلاس من شارع الثالث.

إذا كان بإمكاننا تغيير اسم شارع...

أحتاج إلى الاتصال برئيس البلدية.

هوب؟ هل ما زلتِ عند الشرفة؟

ما زلت هنا.

هل يمكنك إيقاف الطاقم لبضع دقائق؟

أعتقد أنني وجدت حلاً.

أعطنا بضع دقائق أخرى فقط.

أوه، انتظروا انتظروا انتظروا! ها هم ذا.

هل تمكنت من حل المشكلة؟

لقد راجعت كل رمز، وكل عقد،

كل سطر من طلب المنحة.

خطتنا مضمونة النجاح.

اتضح أننا لن نحتاج إلى خدماتك في نهاية المطاف.

لكن شكراً لك.

أوه! هل أنتم مستعدون لمشاركة الأخبار السارة؟

نعم.

[أمل] الجميع!

من فضلكم جميعاً، هل يمكنني الحصول على انتباهكم؟

أوه، لدي إعلان أود الإدلاء به.

أ- في الواقع،

سأترك الأمر لمدير المدينة،

آلي فيرغسون،

أعلن ذلك،

لأنها كانت فكرتها.

شكرًا لك.

مرحباً جميعاً.

أود أن أشكركم جميعاً على حضوركم.

أعمل في هذه الوظيفة منذ سنوات.

ورؤية هذا القدر من التفاعل من المجتمع

كان الأمر مذهلاً للغاية.

أود أن أشكر العمدة أتكينسون

و...

...الضابط رايان برويت

من قسم شرطة سبرينغفيل.

على ماذا نشكرهم؟

[ضحك]

أوه! صحيح، نعم.

أخفيت المعلومة الأساسية، أليس كذلك؟

[يضحك] امم...

كما يعلم معظمكم،

حصلت المدينة على منحة كبيرة لكل شيء.

بما في ذلك الحدائق والمساحات الخضراء

وتجميل المدينة

ونافورة،

تكريماً لأول رئيس بلدية لمدينة سبرينغفيل.

لا نريد النافورة!

نريد البيانو!

- [هتافات الحشد] - أعرف. أعرف!

نحن أيضاً نريد البيانو!

وهذا هو أفضل مكان لذلك.

المشكلة هي،

وفقًا لشروط المنحة،

يجب وضع النافورة في ساحة مدينة سبرينغفيل،

وإلا سنفقد التمويل.

- إذن ماذا ستفعل؟ - حسناً...

بما أننا لا نستطيع نقل النافورة...

سنقوم بتحريك الساحة!

[تمتمة مرتبكة]

[♪♪♪]

أنا، رئيسة البلدية هوب أتكينسون،

أعلن بموجب هذا

أن الساحة أمام مبنى البلدية

سيُعرف الآن باسم ساحة مدينة سبرينغفيل.

وأعلن كذلك

أن ساحة المدينة السابقة

سيتم تغيير الاسم

حديقة سبرينغفيل البلدية!

[هتافات وضحكات وسط تصفيق حار]

لقد فعلناها.

لقد فعلناها!

تمام...

حسنًا...

يمكننا الحصول على بيانو!

يمكننا الحصول على بيانو!

- شكراً لك. - أنا سعيد جداً.

أهلاً.

لقد أتيت.

أجل. همم، هل توصلت إلى حل؟

لقد فعلنا ذلك... ويعود الفضل في ذلك جزئياً إليك.

أنا؟ ماذا فعلت؟

حسناً، لقد قلتَ "لا شيء محسوم".

وكنت محقاً.

أدركت أنه بإمكاني إعادة تسمية ساحة مبنى البلدية

إلى ساحة مدينة سبرينغفيل.

تم حل المشكلة.

أوه، أنت عبقري.

سنضطر إلى إعادة وضع الخطط، ولكن...

يمكن أن تبدأ أعمال البناء هذا العام، كما وعدنا.

حسنًا، ماذا عن الشرفة؟

سيبقى الأمر على حاله.

يمكننا تخصيص جزء من أموال المنحة

لإضفاء لمسة جمالية عليه...

و...

قم بتركيب بيانو مقاوم للعوامل الجوية.

يبدو هذا وكأنه عمل شاق.

مم. سيكون الأمر يستحق ذلك.

ربما لا يكون اتباع المنهجية أمراً سيئاً للغاية.

حسنًا، لا أطيق الانتظار لمشاهدة هذا التحول.

انتظر... ماذا؟

رفضتُ الوظيفة في سياتل.

هل فعلت ذلك؟

لماذا؟

أنا قلق حقاً من عدم حصولي على طعام تايلاندي جيد.

[♪♪♪]

حسناً، من يلومك؟ أعني...

لا أحد يصنع طبق باد سي إيو مثل السيدة وات.

كما شعرت أنني حصلت على الوظيفة بناءً على ادعاءات كاذبة.

كيف ذلك؟

سألوني ما معنى المجتمع بالنسبة لي.

وماذا قلت؟

أخبرتهم أن المجتمع يدور حول الصداقة

وخلق لحظات للتواصل،

والطريقة الوحيدة التي يمكنك من خلالها مساعدة المجتمع

أن تكون جزءًا من واحد...

مثل أن تكون جزءًا من سبرينغفيل.

لم أستطع التخلي عن ذلك.

هل تعلمت كل ذلك في أقل من أسبوع؟

أجل. أعتقد أنني كنت بحاجة فقط إلى أن أكون في المكان المناسب.

مع الأشخاص المناسبين.

وبكلمة "الناس"، هل تقصدني أنا؟

- نعم نعم.

أجل. وخاصة أنت.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

تهانينا.

شكرًا لك.

استغرق الأمر شهوراً،

لكنني استمتعت بكل دقيقة منها.

البيانو الجديد المقاوم للعوامل الجوية هو...

جميل.

صحيح، أليس كذلك؟

من المؤسف أننا لم نكتشف ذلك أبداً

من وضع تلك الصورة الأخيرة هناك، ولماذا فعل ذلك؟

نظريتي العملية

كان ذلك أنهم كانوا يكسبون الوقت

لذا قد يتوصل أحدهم إلى حل ذكي.

من اللطيف جدًا أنهم فعلوا ذلك من أجل المجتمع.

كلا، لم يفعلوا ذلك من أجل المجتمع.

- [تضحك آلي] - لا.

لكنها مجرد نظرية، بالطبع.

أظن أن الأمر سيبقى لغزاً.

أظن ذلك.

[♪♪♪]

هلا فعلنا؟

قطعاً.

[♪♪♪]
