[light music]

?

- What's the first thing you're gonna do

when we get there?

- Find a bathroom.

- I mean after that!

I am going to climb a tree.

An apple tree in our orchard.

Then, um, make some friends.

Permanent friends, who just, you know,

call you up just to talk.

Because this is the last move we're making, right?

- Right.

[light music]

?

Uh... I remember this place.

Ruby: Mm-hmm?

Daniel: This place is like the gateway

in and out of Emerald.

- Huh, Elf Storage.

Fancy!

All right.

You wanna see something cool?

- Yeah.

"Emerald: Home of the O'Reilly Apple"?

We have our own apple named after us?

- Yeah, Emerald's famous for it.

- [exhales]

Cool!

Billboard's a mess, though.

Still...

Our billboard!

[birds chirping]

Now, delight me with the tales

of the town of Emerald.

Here, I'll help.

Wavy flashback lines.

Wavy flashback lines.

- Okay, okay.

No, Ruby, honestly,

I don't remember much.

I-I was so little when I was here.

- Try.

- Well, first...

imagine big open fields.

Sunshine, fresh apples.

Apple pie, apple strudel,

apple cobbler, apple juice--

- I get it.

- Apple crumble.

- I get it!

And I can't wait!

[laughing]

[GPS beeps]

GPS: Bear right at the fork.

Now entering historic Emerald.

Daniel: Okay, I'll take you onto this side street,

I think you're gonna love it.

Ruby: Cool.

Daniel: The tiny, little historic street

that started Emerald way back when.

There's these cute little shops

and street vendors,

and a spectacular fountain.

[soft music]

?

?

Little more rundown than I remember.

- Yeah.

It's... nice.

Fountain's dry, too.

It's, uh...

not how I thought this time would be.

Still... Our town!

- The house'll be better.

- For sure!

For sure.

Daniel: Here we go!

Our driveway!

- Our tree, our other tree.

- Our, uh...

...future guest house.

[chuckling]

Okay, here we go, ready?

- Ah!

Daniel: Hang on.

Coming around the corner!

And three, two...

One!

- Ta-dah...

[GPS beeping]

GPS: You have reached your destination.

- Our house.

[birds chirping]

[door creaking]

Wow.

[lights crackling]

[soft music]

- Wow.

It's a fixer-upper.

That means we can make it whatever we want.

- Yeah, okay.

So...

What do we want this to be?

- I don't know.

Kitchen?

- You mean, like one without an outboard motor

and a tire in the middle of it?

[chuckling]

Okay, I'll start cleaning up.

You go climb your tree.

- Okay.

- Mom's sweater?

[enchanted music]

[door opening and closing]

[birds chirping]

[insects buzzing]

[birds chirping]

[soft music]

?

?

?

- Okay.

It's a little better from up here.

[enchanted chiming music]

Huh.

?

[birds, insects chirping]

?

Huh.

?

[cicadas buzzing]

[soft mysterious music]

[soft mysterious music]

[soft mysterious music]

[soft mysterious music]

[wind howling]

[pebble clattering]

It's dry.

Hello!

[voice echoing]

[breathing heavily]

[whooshing]

[soft mysterious music]

[sirens wailing]

[crying]

- No!

No!

No!

Woman: I wish he were still here.

[breathing heavily]

?

[gentle music]

[upbeat enchanted music]

?

[birds chirping]

[car engine sputtering]

[sputtering continues]

- Can I help you?

- Oh, hi, yeah.

I'm just trying to get this car outta here.

Uh, hi.

Sorry, I'm-I'm Brett.

I used to help out around here

before I went east.

- Hi, Daniel.

New owner.

- Oh, so, you're probably wondering

why I'm on your property and uh...

- Crossed my mind.

- Well, I heard Old Tom...

Well, uh...

Mr. O'Reilly passed away and uh,

I wanted to pay my respects, and...

So, if this is your place now,

you are ...?

- Nephew.

- Oh!

Wow, cool.

- Hm.

- I...

I mean, uh, I'm sorry for your loss.

Anyhow, I need to get home.

Really long drive, so...

- Well, if you need a mechanic to come help,

I could give you a ride into town.

- I'm kinda tapped out, funds-wise.

If I could just leave my car?

- Not a problem.

- Cool.

- Hey, if you need some cash to get the car going,

I gotta house

that's got a bunch of old junk in it

that I need to move out before I move in and, uh...

[sighs]

Do you wanna give me a hand?

- Yeah, yeah, that works.

- All right, come on.

[light music]

- Oh!

- Are you okay?

- Yeah!

Uh, uh-huh!

Um...

- Hi!

I'm Sam... Price.

I saw you.

I-I live next door.

- Oh, uh, I'm Ruby...

O'Reilly.

- As in the O'Reillys?

Like, Old Tom O'Reilly?

- Yeah, he was my great-uncle.

He left us this place.

We just moved here and--

- Oh, boy.

[nervous chuckling]

- What do you mean, "Oh, boy"?

- You didn't hear it from me, but when Old Tom lived here,

weird stuff happened all the time.

- What kind of weird stuff?

- Like, he'd yell, "Stop the lights!"

and he'd swat at the air.

He did that a lot.

Rampaging about the water drying up.

- Rampaging?

- Yeah.

He'd chop stuff down, board up the house.

I got a lot of theories about it.

- We're not weird like Old Tom, you know?

We just need a couple of tools,

and this place will be great.

[loud crashing]

- I'll... see you around.

- I--

[sighs]

Hi, Dad!

Uh, guess what happened?

This big sign fell,

and I'm not hurt, or anything,

but, uh, sorry!

Uh, it's a big mess,

and this shovel here is broken,

so I thought I'd bike into town

and get one so we can clean up, okay?

What do you think about that?

- Wow!

Glad you're not hurt.

- Yeah.

- Are you sure you're okay going into town by yourself?

- Yup-yup-yup.

Energy to burn after that ride,

thank you.

Back soon!

- Okay.

This is Brett, he's--

- Hi, Brett, bye, Brett!

[light music]

[brakes squealing]

[mysterious music]

Uh, excuse me!

Did you make a wish for someone to still be here?

- What?

- After a car accident and a party.

Sorry.

This probably sounds really weird,

but did you make a wish?

- Is everything okay, Mrs. Taggart?

- Just needed some double-As.

Another time.

- Okay.

- You just scared off a customer!

- Uh...

[bell on door ringing]

Sorry!

I just moved here, long drive.

I'm a little woogly and--

- It's okay.

I'm just glad to see someone new!

That never happens.

I'm Mina, and uh, on the house.

Welcome to Emerald.

- Uh, thank you.

Uh, I-I'm Ruby... O'Reilly.

- Like on the old billboard?

- Uh-huh.

- Favourite book?

- Uh, Hound of the Baskervilles.

- Play soccer?

- Uh, defense.

- Ranch or BBQ?

- Um...

Yes.

- Why were you bugging Mrs. Taggart?

- Um...

Long story... something.

It's hard to explain.

- You probably didn't mean to,

but you made her feel really bad.

- Yeah.

I-I-I kinda got that.

W-what did I say?

- Her new husband

got into a crazy bad car accident

and didn't make it.

- And she wishes he were still here.

Um, I-I should just go and grab my stuff

and get outta here before I talk again.

Thank you.

Uh...

[bell on door ringing]

[birds chirping]

I'm gonna put mom's buttercups

on the mantle.

Okay, Dad?

- Okay, good call!

- That's weird.

[gasps]

Dad!

Did the O'Reillys have a coat of arms?

- Do we?

- You might want to cover that back up.

- Why?

It's so cool!

- Old Tom said it was a curse.

Especially that well.

- Well?

What do you know about the well?

- Lots.

Old Tom used to crank about it all the time.

He used to call himself the "Keeper of the Well."

And he said it showed him things

and he was supposed to do whatever the well asked.

- Like grant wishes?

- He was, uh, pretty old and, uh... quirky,

I think is the nicest word.

He even blamed himself for the drought around here.

- Anything else?

- That's all, really.

- Okay.

- Besides his book.

- He had a book?

- Yeah, he had a book.

With all the things you're asking about.

It's probably still around here somewhere.

- Brett, one more question.

- As long as it's not algebra.

- Did Tom ever say

the well asked him to do something impossible?

- Like what?

- Like...

bring a woman's husband back from the dead?

- Yeah.

No.

That'd be, uh...

pretty creepy.

- It sure would be.

- I was gonna make sandwiches for dinner,

but I'm having a rethink.

How about canned spaghetti?

And smooshed grapes?

Moving day special!

What's up?

- Dad, today I saw something.

Or more like felt it,

and it-it, you know, it sounds crazy.

It is crazy.

- Ruby, you're not crazy.

- What about Old Tom?

Was he?

[knocking at door]

Mina?

- Hi!

This is my mom.

- Ava.

- Daniel.

- We brought lasagna, bathroom tissue

and duct tape.

- Three pillars of a happy move.

- Ah, thank you.

- Uh, thank you.

Come on in.

- Show me your room!

- Yeah.

- I gotta know,

what did you do to my best friend?

Sam.

- Oh!

Um, he's your best friend?

He seemed, uh--

- A bit skittish?

Yeah.

He's heard some crazy things about this place,

but now he's busy working you into his conspiracy theories.

[chuckling]

- Ta-dah!

- Wow!

This'll be so great.

[muffled slow jazz music]

But I can't say I love your music.

- That's not mine.

- It's coming from in there.

- Here, help me move this, okay?

- Okay.

[grunting]

- There's a door behind here.

- Why would you paper over a door?

- Cover something up?

- Or to keep it in!

- There has to be a logical explanation.

Like, maybe it sounds like it's coming from here,

but it's not. It's an old--

[echoing wailing]

- Definitely from in there.

I'm in Spooky Town.

I gotta go!

- No, Mina!

Wait!

Mina!

- Mom!

Mom!

Gotta go!

- Mina!

- Mom!

[sighs]

- Great.

Two maybe-friends gone.

[enchanted chiming music]

[wings fluttering]

Now what?

[birds chirping]

Okay.

I'm here.

[mysterious music]

Thomas Brendan O'Reilly.

Old Tom?

[whooshing]

[eerie ethereal music]

[birds chirping]

[muffled slow jazz music]

Dad?

What are you--

- Shh.

- I heard that music last night.

Where's it coming from?

- We're about to find out.

[blues music playing]

[blues music playing]

? World don't stop turning ?

? Just because ?

? Just because you're not around ?

- Brett?

? The world... ?

- I can explain.

I should've asked.

I know.

But Tom let me stay sometimes and...

I was afraid you were gonna say no.

It's just until I get my car going.

- Just, uh... give us a second.

- We should let him stay.

Until he gets his car fixed.

It's the right thing to do.

We have to help him.

We know what it's like to be stuck.

[soft music]

- Okay, fine.

Brett: Yes!

[chuckling]

- Why do you want

to get going so bad, anyway?

- There's no reason to stay.

- Where you headed?

- First stop...

The Taj Mahal.

- [snorting]

You're driving to The Taj Mahal?

- Hey, if you make it there, your options are wide open.

- Okay, you're peculiar.

Least you're not a ghost.

I mean, your music scared the living whoozits

out of us last night.

Brett: Oh.

You mean this?

[blues music playing]

Ruby: Yeah, but...

sounds different now than it did

from a hidden door

on your first night in a spooky house.

- Give this one another chance.

Blues was one of the first things

my dad ever played for me.

This one's about a guy who loves someone so much,

he sets her free.

One big hope:

that she'll come back one day.

- Wait, but if you love someone,

wouldn't you want to hold on to them?

- That's the point.

[exhales]

If you hold on too tight, it crushes them.

If you really love someone...

let them go.

- Sounds complicated.

I always wanted the vinyl of this.

It's just... I dunno.

It's more real.

Male singer: ? You can run, you can run now, baby ?

? Oh, baby, baby ?

[brakes squealing]

- Hi!

Uh, thank you so much.

The lasagna was great.

- Thanks!

- And that music?

It was coming from a guy who's helping my dad.

He's staying in the attic.

His name is Brett.

I know, it's weird.

- Can't believe I let you

and your conspiracy theories get to me.

Sam: What?

Lot of weird things happen over there.

Mina: Not this time.

So, we all good?

- [whispering] Yeah, sure, we're good.

But there's still the Paula Test.

- Right.

All my new friends have to meet my mom

and get official approval.

- Really?

I thought my dad was protective.

- She's always been like that.

Started 'cause I was born with a heart thing,

and now she's not taking chances with anything.

Mina: Yeah, we call it the Paula test.

- I can do that.

- Awesome.

- Cool!

I'll tell her.

See ya!

- Uh, hey.

Do you remember that customer I scared off the other day?

- Mrs. Taggart?

Yeah.

- Do you think you could help me apologize?

Maybe--

Mina: Smooth the way?

It's what I do!

[laughing]

- Good job.

Are you gonna fill that part in with that thing?

What are you making?

- Hi, Mrs. Taggart?

It's Mina.

Mrs. Taggart: Hi.

Mina: Hi.

Uh...

I brought your batteries.

- Oh!

Thank you.

How... thoughtful.

- And, uh, also, a friend of mine.

Ruby O'Reilly.

She's new and feels terrible about yesterday.

- Uh, like Mina said,

uh, I'm new and I'm so sorry.

- I really shouldn't have gotten so upset.

- Thanks.

- It's just...

my family has been through tough times.

Hi.

There is...

a big hole where he was, and...

[sighs]

now it's just me and the girls.

Thanks for the batteries, hon.

- Uh, just one more thing.

Uh, I'd like to apologize properly to your husband,

uh, bring him some flowers.

Where's his resting place?

- Oh, that's not necessary.

- It is.

I want to say sorry to Mr. Taggart, too.

- You don't have to.

- Yes, I do.

I just need to know where--

- Why are you kids... so stubborn?

You're all just so stubborn.

Oh...

It's St. James.

I'm sorry.

- [whispering] Hey!

- What was that?

I'm a good kid!

I don't hang out with bad kids,

or mean kids, or--

- There's an explanation.

I promise there is.

I have to tell you something

and I really hope

we're still gonna be friends after.

Okay?

[soft music]

So... magic wishing well.

Crazy visions.

Thoughts?

- First, it's weird.

- Agreed.

- How does it--?

- I don't know.

- Why does it--?

- I don't know.

- Why you?

- I don't know.

- You know, there are rumours about that well.

Sam knows about it,

but I usually just nod and smile.

- Seems smart.

- But I have to admit, it lines up.

Even if it makes no logical sense.

I believe you.

I can't help it!

It makes you make more sense.

For now.

[birds chirping]

- Where's St. James Cemetery?

- "I wish he were still here," huh?

Regretting this already.

- Me too, but what choice do I have?

Like, I'm supposed to bring a dead guy back to life?

This is his address, sorta thing.

- Let's check the new section.

These are way old.

Like, town-founders old.

- O'Reilly.

They're all O'Reillys.

- Your family goes way back.

You're, like, Emerald royalty.

Look.

[insects chirping]

- Tom.

My uncle?

- Ruby, look!

The Taggart guy.

- "Loving father of Benjamin."

There's a son?

[phone chiming, vibrating]

Oh.

Now it's all starting to make sense!

- What makes sense?

- Mina just texted me.

She's my friend.

We were hanging out at the graveyard.

- As one does.

- Because I'm trying to help Mrs. Taggart,

a lady in town.

And we found out what we were doing

is actually about her stepson,

who ran away,

and not her husband,

which makes it, like, 5,000 times less creepy.

And maybe even doable!

- Was I really supposed to follow that?

- No.

You could just nod.

- Good.

- Wait!

You lived in Emerald.

Do you remember a kid named Benjamin Taggart?

- Name sounds familiar.

Uh...

Didn't something happen to him, or something?

- He ran away a year ago.

It didn't make the papers.

There's, like, no pictures of this guy online anywhere.

Maybe I should go into town and ask around?

- Oh, wa-wa-wait!

Wait.

[grunts]

If you are going to town...

think you can grab a replacement

for one of these guys?

Evers Auto Repair.

- Uh-huh.

- Thanks.

And, uh, happy detective-ing.

- Uh, no.

We don't have this in stock.

But I should be able to grab one at the wreckers.

Is later today okay?

- Uh, I think so.

I'll tell him.

Thanks!

- Oh.

Not again.

- Um, wait, Mrs. Taggart!

Please!

I am sorry about before.

I-I heard about Ben,

and I thought maybe I could help find him.

- That's... nice,

but he doesn't want to be found.

He said he felt smothered.

I wish... things were different.

But they aren't.

See you, Pete.

The girls say hi.

- Uh, yeah, see you around.

Is everything okay?

- You know them?

The Taggarts?

- Yeah. I'm an old friend of the family's.

I met the dad while I was upgrading his car audio.

That's one thing

he and the kid had in common,

was music 24-7.

- Do you think him coming home

is hopeless too?

- [sighs]

I don't know.

Maybe.

Maybe not, you know?

All I really know is that after his dad got remarried,

the guy never really felt like he fit in.

You know?

Emily already had two kids,

so, guess it was like a third wheel kinda thing.

Then to lose your dad on your birthday?

I mean, talk about gutted.

- His birthday?

[whooshing]

[enchanted music]

You said Ben was a fan of music

like his dad?

- A fan?

It'd be like calling a mountain lion a tabby cat.

They were crazy about the blues,

collected tons of old records.

[upbeat suspenseful music]

[brakes squealing]

- Ruby!

Guess what?

- Not now!

Follow me!

- Okay.

- Oh, I thought so.

He's not here.

I was right.

- Look what Sam found.

- Ah!

I knew it!

- Knew what?

- Brett, the guy in our attic and Ben.

They're the same!

Now he's gone.

He set me up!

He sent me on an errand

so he could leave without getting caught!

- Why didn't he take his car?

- He needs that part.

Where could he be?

Hiding?

In town, maybe?

- Or in the woods.

The point is we don't know!

- We have to catch him right now!

Mina: Actually, the thing we have to do

is have lunch with Sam's mother.

- Yeah?

- All goes well?

Fun, friendship, rainbows.

- And if I bail?

- Pain.

Angst.

Far fewer rainbows.

Look, if Brett-slash-Ben

really wants to get outta here,

we can't stop him.

Plus, without that part, he's not going anywhere fast.

- So, what about it?

- Well, it's old, right?

So, I-I got curious

and looked up the part number.

That's from a late '60s Wildcat.

That's like Ben's car.

- That's impossible.

Ben and his car must be halfway across the countr...

Where did you get this?

- [chuckling]

From that new girl.

Ruby O'Reilly.

- Okay, remember:

good manners are really important to her.

So, no slurping your milkshake

and, uh, you have to have your fries with a fork.

- Fork?

- Right here.

Yeah.

- Hey!

You're late!

You can't be late!

- I'm sorry.

I--

- Which is why I told you to come early,

so you wouldn't be.

- Smart.

- Yeah.

- Okay, um, what else do I need to know?

[light music]

[light music]

- He's here, isn't he?

- Here you go.

Take a sneak peek while we wait for her.

[phone chiming, vibrating]

- Uh...

Hi, Dad.

- Ruby, there's a woman here named Emily Taggart.

She recognizes Brett's car.

Do you know anything about this?

- No!

Uh... yes!

Uh...

It's complicated.

Can I call you back?

[sighs]

- Okay.

- And what about small talk?

You should have something ready.

- Um, okay.

Uh...

How about a local business?

I saw this place on my way in: Gas, Milk, Bus.

[snaps]

- That's good.

Uh, who owns The Taj Mahal, are you friends?

- The what?

- Taj Mahal.

It's what everyone calls it as a joke

'cause it's, like,

the opposite of big and fancy.

[Sam laughing]

- What?

- I think I know where Ben is.

I...

I-I am so, so sorry,

but I... I gotta go.

- Hey!

No.

Ruby, Ruby!

Mina: Come on!

Sam: You can have slurpy milkshakes

after she leaves!

Ruby: I'm sorry I can't stay!

Dad.

Brett's not who he says he is.

And I think I know where he is.

And I think I know how to get him home.

- What?

How?

- When you love someone so much,

you can hold on tight and never let them go.

Or, you know...

Not do that.

- How fast can you fix this, Peter?

- Watch this.

- But if he sees me, he'll just...

He'll run away again.

He'll think things were like the way they were.

- Well, he kinda owes us a favour.

We'll go find him.

- His dad wanted him to have this.

I-I brought it just in case I never got...

In case I never got a chance to.

[soft music]

[exhales]

[inhales]

[indistinct chattering]

[engine revving]

- It's working.

[car engine stops]

- Runs great.

And you know who got it fixed for you?

Emily.

- Try it.

[car starting]

All yours, Ben.

- So's this.

From your dad.

For your birthday, that one night.

She wanted to make sure you finally got it.

Might be a blues album,

maybe about someone who loves someone so much...

they set them free.

With one big hope.

- That they'll come back one day.

- Look, I-I...

she's not your mom, I get it.

But that doesn't mean nobody else can love you.

[soft music]

- [sighs]

Thanks.

[tires screeching]

- He left!

I... I-I honestly thought...

Forget it.

- All right.

Well...

Time for today's

Questionable Parenting Moment.

This, my dear, is how you hitchhike.

[chuckling]

- Okay, listen.

I have to tell you something.

One of your crazy theories is real.

Do you remember

what you heard about the O'Reilly well?

- No way!

No way!

- Yeah, I know.

That's what she's out doing right now.

She's fulfilling a wish.

She's reuniting a kid with his mom.

- Okay.

Okay, so... all I have to do

is sell the best excuse of all.

It's the truth!

- Okay.

- Ruby's doing a selfless thing

to help others.

- I think that'll work.

- I can do this.

I can do this.

Okay!

[bell on door ringing]

[soft music]

- Ruby!

[bright music]

- You guys heading home too?

[knocking]

- So, what happened?

- Did the wish happen?

- Yeah.

I-I think it did.

But that's the good news.

Now for the bad.

- None.

I told Sam everything.

If we're all gonna be friends,

he has to know.

- Yeah.

And I was right!

I knew it!

And I have questions.

Mina: He's gonna be impossible

for at least a week.

Ruby: After what I did, we can't be friends now.

- No, we can.

My mom is really good friends with Mrs. Taggart.

And I told her what you did.

She'd still love to meet you.

- [chuckling]

I can do that.

- Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Okay, thanks.

- I'll call you later.

- Uh, yeah.

What for?

- I don't know.

Just to talk.

[birds chirping]

[Ruby laughing]

- So, what's today's report?

- It's a good day.

We helped someone.

I made friends.

It was hard, though.

- That's never stopped you before.

You, Ruby O'Reilly, do hard things.

- We both do.

Male singer: ? Driving the highway back home ?

? There's a calm here I can't describe ?

? Baby, I'm home at last ?

? Baby, you're the heart of it ?

? Baby, you're the heart of it ?
