(dogs bark)

- [Liam] Come on.

- [Vigilante] In the trees!

Over here!

- Cora, go back. Tell them it was all me.

- No.

- You could still save yourself.

- I don't care

I only care about being with you.

We belong together.

Now that I've met you, our fates are forever tied.

Where you go, I go. Remember? (yearnful music continues)

(epic music)

- [Vigilante] Here, I think I see them!

(mob grumbles)

(intense music)

(water sloshes)

- [Cora] Argh!

- [Liam] Cora!

(Cora gasps) (alarm beeps)

- Was just a dream.

(Cora huffs)

(button clicks)

(gleaming music)

(kindly pop music)

- [Leo] Cora, it's Leo.

They got another B and E call this morning.

Press is already on it.

- Burglars broke into Memento

without setting off the alarm system.

Although cameras recorded an image of one suspect,

so far it has been

(circuit breaker clacks)

(shoe clops)

(badge jangles)

(engine huffs)

- [Cora] Morning, Dad.

- I heard the news about Memento. Congratulations.

- [Cora] Congrats on a B and E?

- Oh, congratulations on any new development

that helped you break your first

and remember I'm

- Oh, that's nice, but um, you're retired, so go retire.

- All right. I love you, honey.

- Love you, too.

♪ Could take this

♪ Hurry, hurry

- Come on, why are you waiting?

- What?

Okay, in case you forgot, I did swear an oath of honor

to enforce the law and maintain order.

- Mm-hmm, and I promise

there won't be complete

because I let my best friend skip the line.

- Argh, you promise? Because I do desperately need coffee.

I was tossing and turning last night

with this really weird dream.

- You know, I love

- Ah, maybe later.

Not to tell you

but there is a long

- People can wait a little longer

if it means we hear your dreams.

- Finn, wow, I didn't know

that they let you outta the

- Oh, it must be a bank holiday.

- [Cora] Heh.

- Hey, congrats on your promotion.

- Oh, thank you.

- Yeah, my girl here's worked hard

to break the tape, go plain-clothes.

- [Finn] Wow, look at you! All the lingo.

- She watches too

Sorry, this is Finn Walsh. He is the assistant DA.

And this is-

- Suzette. I own this joint.

And here, pour-overs

- Oh, thank you, but I'm actually a tea guy.

Bergamot, if you have it, with sugar. Thanks.

Hey, so I heard you're on the jewellery store case.

- [Cora] Yeah.

- Well, I'm sure you're swamped,

but I was thinking of

to go over the evidence from that bank job last August,

if you have time.

And how 'bout I take you out to lunch?

So we can celebrate

- My schedule's a little crazy,

but I think for you,

- Great.

- Bergamot for the tea guy.

Sugar's over there.

- Right, thank you for the tea.

Catch you later, Cora.

- Yeah.

- Well, seems like he was only interested

in the sugar that was right in front of him.

- Okay.

- Dating a DA, though, after making detective

might be a bad look.

- Yeah, especially because everybody

already thinks that I got he promotion

because my dad was the chief of police.

- What? No.

Everyone knows you got this promotion

because you're the best at your job.

You helped find that missing kid.

You caught that arsonist,

although I still hear Timmy's

- What?

- "Lassie" reference.

- You watch too much TV.

- Anyways, who cares

Hey, you deserve

I hope you know that.

- Thank you.

- Now, tell me more about this dream.

We talking, like, teeth falling out?

- Ooh, no.

- You took a test you didn't

study for?

I'm really late.

- All right, go show 'em who's the boss.

Oh, and when that DA comes by the station

asking to take you out to lunch,

just remember he's a tea guy, heh heh.

- Okay, bye.

(tires murmur)

(worried music)

- [Officer] You want us to check the other one?

- Morning.

- Make sure you get this. Need to know why it's still there.

- [Officer] I'll let 'em know.

- Leo. Surprised you came down to the crime scene.

I thought today

- Time to give it a rest?

Nah, I'm working through the end of the week, but I'm happy

to head home if you wanna go it alone, Detective.

- No, I think the vibe from the squad

has me feeling alone enough, Detective.

My incredible

that nobody wants me here.

- I want you here.

- I appreciate that.

I know you and the new chief go way back

and that you put in a good word for me, so.

- That wasn't charity. I know talent when I see it, Cora.

- Thanks.

All right, now, come lend me hear that keen mind of yours.

What am I looking at?

- Uh, B and E; possible larceny;

first, maybe second degree.

Well, they took a lot of inventory.

- Can I just state the obvious?

Why is this not in enforced glass?

- Old buildings.

Back in my day, this used

- And press said

- Techs are going through it now.

You think this is connected

- Like the other larcenies, the window's the point of entry,

but this smash is more haphazard.

The other windows had

surrounded by concentric cracks,

suggesting premeditation

Could be the same perp,

but I mean, the

more elegant, less brute force,

so this feels off.

- About time you got here.

What a mess.

- Is he the owner? - Excuse me, officer.

- Yeah.

of this?

- [Memento Owner] What about that one?

- Yeah, I got him.

- [Memento Owner] I don't understand

why they're wasting

- Morning, I'm Detective McLeod.

- You need to find these hoodlums.

- And that is what we intend to do.

- But on what timeline?

Because I am friends with the O'Malleys,

and they told me you

on catching the thugs that broke into their house.

It was weeks ago, and now

- Okay, well, we, we don't know

and I can't comment on an ongoing investigation.

So why don't we just focus

Have you inventoried

- I haven't had a chance to go through everything,

but I know for sure these pieces are gone.

- Nice watch.

(mythical music)

(searing music)

- Cora? Hey, Cora, are you okay?

Come here. Come here.

You're okay. You're okay.

- I love you.

I wish we got to have our chance.

- I will always love you,

in this life and the next.

Cora, don't. Cora.

- [Vigilante] Through here.

- Don't go.

No, no, no!

(Liam gasps)

(shoes clop)

- Oh shoot, did I miss

I'm, I'm Agon.

- Where am I?

Where's Cora?

(air whooshes)

Huh!

- Oh, ha ha, gets me every time.

- Liam O'Connor, your soul has been weighed

and found wanting.

In life, you were a thief, a rogue,

who cared for

And now you stand before the Department of Destiny

to face your fate.

- Wait. Is Cora here?

Is sh-, is she safe?

- Cora died nearly

- But if it makes you feel any better, uh,

you're dead, too, so.

- Why would that make me feel any better?

Also, 200 years?

So where have I

- Limbo.

Yeah, it's not

but it sure does beat the H-E-double-hockey-sticks.

- What's a hockey stick?

- Quiet!

All questions will be answered.

(book thuds)

(fingers snap) (occupants swish)

- Huh.

(Samael clears throat)

- Liam O'Connor, you are

and all souls must be

For the department,

a monumental feat of the highest order.

- Overtaxing the department-

- and requiring even the most unskilled of junior agents

to finally get their own case.

- Well done.

- Thank you.

- Liam, in life, you stole many things,

but the most unforgivable

was Cora McLeod's heart.

- Cora and I were in love with each other.

- But she wasn't destined for you.

You stole her from her

- He's Cora's soulmate? No.

- Yes, and he is a good and true man.

And so instead of Cora being in a fated pair with Finn,

she joined in an errant

a mistake in the tapestry of fate.

- Samael doesn't

- Liam O'Connor,

you've stolen.

You've sown chaos. You've broken hearts.

But now we're offering you a chance for redemption.

There are seven souls

who have been reincarnated

Having misstepped in their first life,

they are being given the chance to prove

where they should spend eternity.

- Wait, so they've all been living their lives

while I've been stuck...

Where? In Limbo?

- Yeah, that's our

but if it makes you feel any better, you're the only one

that got to keep your memories from Ireland

and see this awesome place.

Also, none of them got to see the cool presentation

that Samael makes up.

- So, you are going to join them in the human world,

and your mission is

to set Cora on her destined path and help her fall in love

with her true

- Wait. Lemme get this straight.

You want me to get the love of my life

to fall for another man?

- And we don't have much time.

Their fates need to be decided soon, so.

- No, I can't do that.

Why would I ever do that?

- (scoffs) Why would you ever do that?

Well, you would do that

because, should you succeed,

you will spend

but, should you fail or defy us-

- Then, uh,

- What's hockey?

- Well, in 1867 or s-

- Okay, we are aware that you know nothing

of the world that you are being sent to;

however, you, heh heh, you won't be alone,

because Agon will be your handler

and help you in your task.

- Don't worry. I know that the world has changed a lot.

But I will guide you through it every step of the way:

uh, women's rights, indoor plumbing.

Ireland and Britain are friends now.

- Hmm. - Uh.

- Um, kinda.

- Okay, the important thing

will think they know you from the present day,

as we've planted

- Right, and people

have the same name as they did in the past?

- Um, well, names tend

So, Liam, what fate do you choose? Hmm?

- I choose Cora.

- Okay, just remember that you are being given a chance

to do right for once,

to save yourself but, more importantly, to save her.

- And save her I will.

(portal rumbles)

(siren wails)

Whoa. Hey.

Huh!

- [Driver] Come on.

Watch where you're going.

- Liam, thought you said

you were gonna meet me at the motel.

- Boyd?

Oh.

- Uh, heh, huh. Ha!

- Oh how I've missed

- Yeah, you sure look happy.

- Whoa.

- You, uh, you do something reckless?

- I'm not that happy.

- Ah, ha ha. Ha ha, right.

- It's good to be

I really appreciate you coming in from Portland

to help out on the case.

- Yeah.

- You know, I'm sorry about the radio silence.

I've just been pulled in every direction

since I took over the department.

- Took over what department?

- Providence Falls Police Department.

- You're a constable.

I'm a constable. What?

- Heh heh, ha, huh, funny.

Okay, need to just keep that Irish sense of humor of yours

under lock until you've settled in, all right?

It's all fine with the boys up in Portland,

but my rookie detective's not gonna appreciate it,

especially since

she's got a new partner.

- Right, yeah, okay, where

- Uh, Memento Jewellery.

Call came in this morning.

- Did you do it?

- Are you feeling okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, just having a crack, heh.

- Okay, well, can it.

Detective McLeod.

- Oh, Chief, what are you doing here?

- Want you to meet someone.

This is, uh, Detective

(longing music)

- Sorry, have we met before?

- Uh, not in this lifetime.

(glaring music)

- [Officer] Ma'am, if you could just-

- Um, I'm Detective McLeod.

- "Detective"? Wait.

You're also a constable?

How can that be? You're a woman.

- Excuse me.

- Wait. You're the rookie detective?

So that makes me your partner.

- Who said I need a partner?

- Boyd. Yeah, but don't worry.

Some people profess that I'm,

- Even to a woman rookie constable?

- Okay, seems like we mighta got off

on the wrong foot there.

- But I'm not sure that foot's gonna change,

because I have a pretty good gut sense of people.

- And what sense do you have of me?

- That you're not the partnering type,

which is fine 'cause, like I said, I don't need a partner.

(lively music continues)

You brought in an outsider

How is that gonna win me friends at the station?

- Well, you're gonna win friends at the station

when you solve the case

He's a good detective.

- A good detective who's not even wearing gloves

while handling evidence.

- Liam, put that down.

He's a little unorthodox,

(phone rings)

- What's that, Boydster?

- It's your phone, Detective.

Incredible sleuthing skills.

- Just trust me.

- Um. Uh. - 'Kay?

- Fine. You're the chief.

You're giving him a lift

- [Liam] Boyd.

- [Boyd] Yeah.

- [Liam] When you said you'd

you meant you had a horse stabled.

- Very funny.

You leave the city for a small-town job.

And you think I'm out on the stick somewhere?

So buckle up.

I don't know what's gotten into you.

You gotta get it together

McLeod's gonna fight me on this partnering thing.

- Yeah, Detective McLeod,

she's magnificent. - Not thrilled.

You better mean

- Of course, yeah, as I'm sure she is.

- [Boyd] Ha ha ha ha.

- Boyd, oh it is so nice to see you, man.

- Oh, it's good to see you, too.

- Actually, I could use

some friendly advice

- Oh yeah?

Sure, yeah. What is it?

- I've very recently

- 'Kay.

and the people in authority,

they want me to handle

Maybe they're right, you know, in part,

but honestly, everything

just wants me to do the complete opposite.

- This isn't about me, is it?

I'm not the authority?

- No, no, they're far more powerful than you.

- I hope this isn't like the mob case

you were on in Portland.

Okay, I mean, look, look.

You know, are they wrong

Yeah, uh, sure.

Uh, you know, it's not like we haven't seen that before.

- Maybe they are wrong.

After all, who are they to decide fate?

(glowing music)

Not sure I'm following

the Liam I know always got the job done right,

regardless of whatever

even if ya did incite a

- And perhaps destiny needs a bit of chaos.

- Mm.

- And this is our research room.

I would recommend brushing up on the Rules of Destiny

before diving into the specifics of this case.

- Aye, aye, boss, I've

all 333 Rules of Destiny:

number one, life is a specific

- You can memorize them silently, okay?

Good, but you do need to study up on Cora,

as her fate rests in the balance.

(beaming music)

- Oh, huh, that's a lotta Cora.

- Yeah, well, she has an important fate.

You better get started.

(shoe clops)

(gleaming music continues)

- Just one couldn't hurt.

- [Boyd] Come on, come on.

- Right, now, you're sure they're gone.

- Aye, aye, a maid told me the necklace will be here.

It's kept in the daughter's room.

- Necklace, huh.

- Go, boy, before the sun's to rise.

- Hmm.

(lock clicks)

(latch clanks) (door creaks)

(timid music)

(door creaks)

(door clunks)

(door taps)

(blade scrapes)

Oh, my dear,

uh, this isn't my castle, ha ha.

Um, new to town,

and uh, I've gotten

Uh, please, uh, uh, forgive

- And you sneak into your own castle after picking the lock?

Nice effort, but

- Well, you're not fooling

No cutting edge.

- It's my practice sword.

My father lets me fence

but I don't really need it.

See, all I'd need to do is scream,

and three sharp

held by brutish men quick to use them.

- Ah, well, there's no need to do that.

Let's just declare this a folly of misunderstanding,

and uh, I'll just be on my way, then.

- Not quite.

I'll let ya go

but on one condition.

- And what might that be?

- You tell me the

- What are you on about?

- I'm on about knowing something of the world.

- And how can I

- My whole life has been inside these castle walls

with people just like me.

And in four months, I'll marry

And the rest of my life will be inside his castle walls

with people just like him, so

you could tell me of something different,

'bout you, your life.

- Why would you

- Because you look like

and I've realized too late that I want an adventure.

- You're not making any sense.

- Perhaps, but I haven't screamed.

- That's true.

- Guess there's something about you that I trust.

- Why would you trust me?

(gleaming music)

- Have you read Rousseau?

He believes that

it's their lot in life that corrupts them,

desperate people are forced

but people want to do good, to be good,

so I guess I believe that about you too.

- Well, that's lovely.

It's harrowingly

- And also 'cause I have a real sword

with a deadly cutting edge, should I need it.

So what'll it be?

Bloody end for you?

Or your story for me?

(door creaks and clunks)

(shoes patter)

(latch clicks)

(tense music)

(downcast music)

Why did you come here tonight?

To steal something?

- [Liam] I thought the place was empty, (chuckles) hmm.

- We returned from Dublin this morning.

- Right.

- I still believe there's

- Well, if it's my whole story you want,

it might take a while.

- [Cora] Well, I have all the time in the world.

(treasured music)

- [Liam] Right.

I suppose I could start by telling you about me pa.

He's a cottier.

♪ Hmm, hmm

(window frame clunks)

- House is bigger-

- Shh!

- "Or get the help of one to repel another."

Huh! Uh, huh.

(sabers clink)

You're here to tell me-

- a story.

- Okay.

No. Whoa!

- See that?

That's Sirius, the brightest star.

The ancient Egyptians worshipped Sirius,

believing that celestial bodies influenced fate,

and that is why we make wishes on stars.

- Well, I always believed

was fate's cruelest joke.

Well, I'm starting to rethink that.

(air rumbles)

(Samael clears throat)

- Doesn't look like the book of Cora.

- Uh, I was just, uh, brushing up on the case.

I, I couldn't help but notice

their connection

What's to stop Liam from

and just trying to win Cora back?

- I put protections in place for that.

♪ Hey, Cora

Any chance you changed your mind

about attending the police ball?

- [Cora] Yeah, I thought about

- [Boyd] Nah, make sure to call

- Detective O'Connor, we got off to a shaky start,

but we can start

working with a woman rookie constable.

- I can bear it.

So partners then?

(hand buzzes) (head rings)

Argh, what the...

(bell pings)

- Are you coming, Detective?

(intriguing music)

(phone rings)

Uh, so we have a

- Seems we have an audience?

- Yeah, well, there's a lot of history here pertaining to me

that you don't know about.

- Likewise.

- [Cora] Uh, this is you.

- This is me?

- Argh, are you sure that we've never met before?

- I dunno. Uh, have we met?

D'you remember me from somewhere?

- I don't know.

Anyways, about the case,

we've emailed every pawn shop in the tri-state area,

so if the perps try to fence the stolen jewels,

we will be notified.

And I also have forensic techs;

by that, I mean Officer Callahan;

monitoring online and black market.

- Sounds like you've got it all under control.

That's to be expected.

I mean, you always did have a brilliant mind.

Always since I've known you.

- What exactly are you adding here?

- Boyd would tell you

is the ability to

you know, understand their mindset, their motivation.

Whoever committed that crime

likely didn't think it through.

- Yeah, I got the same feeling.

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Oh, it's just, uh,

I'm happy for you.

You get to have adventures and feel like you've lived.

- [Officer] We're bringing it in now.

- Um, sorry, can you excuse me for a minute?

Hey, Austin, what's

- Dominic got caught tagging again. Had to write him up.

- [Cora] Can I

- [Austin] It's all yours, Detective.

(Cora clears throat)

(Cora huffs)

- So you wanna tell me what happened?

- Just letting off some steam.

- Dominic, we talked about this.

All of these infractions add up.

You wanna tag, go to

- Yeah. Yeah, I know.

- Look, I wanna show up for you,

but I can't do that if you don't show up for yourself.

- [Officer] We're heading out now.

- So what do you say? Will you come?

Come on.

I just got the

and none of these other kids are showing me any competition.

It's pretty bad.

- If you wanna lose, uh...

- Okay. Fine, game on.

I'll see you there.

He's a good kid.

- Yeah, well, it's nice that you look out for him.

It's the least I can do.

He's been dealt a bad hand,

and his stepdad Jake's

but Dominic deserves

- Heard you mentioned something about that.

- Yeah, it's, um, it's this program

that I'm trying to get off the ground

with the local community center

to help kids in the system

get a fresh start, different path.

- You always did see the best in people.

I mean I could assume.

- We should get back upstairs.

There's a string of break-ins

that I think could be connected.

(plodding music)

- So the larcenies started a month ago,

and whoever's pulling these jobs is smart:

power, cut, to security systems;

no forensics, to speak of;

and always on nights when

So they've done the research.

No witnesses. Nobody gets hurt.

- Inside man.

- Or woman.

Yeah, we thought, "Maybe,"

but each house has a

different locks, too,

down any.

Your phone, Detective.

- My...

Oh, that's...

Yeah, this thing.

Argh, it's just...

I dunno. I do not know.

- [Cora] Are you gonna get it?

- No, I, I got it. It's just...

Hmm.

You were saying?

- Um, yes, in addition to the jewellery store,

there have been three private residences hit:

the Sullivans, the

(capricious music)

Are those names familiar to you?

(air whooshes)

(patrons laugh)

- Boyd, there you are.

Have you been

Hey, did ya hear?

About the O'Malleys.

- You haven't been

without your old

- I was about to ask you the same thing.

- [Patron] She passed on.

- [Patron] Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha!

- (pats) But seriously, though,

the Sheets, the

- Seems like someone's

- [Liam] I'd like to know who.

- What I'd like to know is how it went at the McLeods.

Ya didn't get caught,

since that handsome hand of yours is still attached.

But did you get

- It was around the neck of the fair Cora.

- She caught ya?

- No, no, she won't.

Everything's to rights.

She's not gonna tell anyone.

She's incredible. She's magic.

- "She's magic"?

Please, tell me you're not saying

what I think you're saying: Cora McLeod,

daughter of James McLeod.

Best friend's the constable.

- Boyd, she's not like them.

She, she sees the best in people,

like, uh, like in me.

She, she, she makes me wanna change,

I dunno, be, be better.

- [Boyd] What? "Be better"?

- [Liam] Yeah.

- Why be better when you're the best thief in Kenzie?

Second to me, of course.

Didn't you say you had a good idea for a new heist?

We'll need another plan now that Cora's seen your face

and the necklace is outta reach, like.

Right.

- [Patron] Ha ha ha ha, ha, ha!

- [Patron] Oh!

- [Patron] Ha, ha!

- Heh heh heh heh!

- Besides, if you need a lass,

why take one that's just

- [Patron] Ha,

(Boyd laughs)

- Argh, Mere.

Meredith, what are you doing?

Shouldn't be in here.

- But you missed our rendezvous.

- Yeah, I know.

It's just, um,

(tuts) I, I, I went to church, ya know,

and I just been thinking,

"After all, you're a married woman."

What, what are we?

- Oh, suddenly, you're a man of honor? (scoffs)

Don't make me laugh. What really happened?

- Nothing.

I was just-

Father Fitzgerald got in your ear.

Is it someone else?

Another woman?

I should've known better

than to trust you,

- Meredith, no.

Argh. Hey.

Don't drink that.

- [Shopper] Yeah, thanks.

- Meredith, wait. Meredith, please.

(horse neighs) (dog barks)

Hmm.

- Sorry.

- That's...

No, it's fine.

- Um, so those names do sound familiar to you?

- Uh, no, just Irish names.

- Detective McLeod, is this a good time?

- Oh, um-

- To go over the evidence

- Actually, she's needed here with me,

Liam O'Connor, her new partner.

- Oh, Finn Walsh,

- Pleasure's all yours.

- Excuse me.

- Now's a good time. We could go over here.

- Great.

- Sorry to steal her from ya.

- Oh that's only fair. I did steal her first.

- Psst!

- Agon, what are you doing here?

- Uh, I'm your handler. I'm here to help you.

- Are you here to help?

- Or are you here to police me?

- Well, I mean, a little of

- Yeah.

What do you think so far?

- What do I think?

I think that nothing has made sense to me

since you dropped me off in this madhouse of a world.

- I know it must be a lot to process,

coming from the 19th century

to a top-notch police department

like we've got here in Providence Falls.

Am I right?

- Nice. Good save.

- That was so exciting!

Do ya think he bought it? Do ya think he bought it?

- Yeah, don't wear the hat inside.

- Oh.

- Come on.

What have you done to me?

Every time that I touch Cora, I get these...

- Oh, the zap. Yeah, that was Samael's idea.

She didn't really trust

so you know, when your skin touches hers, bzz.

- It's bloody painful.

- Well, just, uh, think of it as a physical reminder

to stay on mission,

Actually, you could spin this into plans for this evening.

'Kay, the, the humans here,

after work is finished.

- I don't wanna go to a hanging with Cora.

- No, uh, heh, uh,

a group hang is a...

It's like grabbing an ale.

- Right.

- So, Cora's going. Just invite Finn.

- [Officer] Yeah, Jess,

- [Agon] 'Kay, go!

- Well, you know what?

I would, I would

if, maybe, you wanted to stop by one day.

- I'd love to. Sounds like an amazing program.

- What's this, now?

- Oh, Cora was just telling me

about her Second Chances program.

- Hey, uh, I heard that people

go for an ale after work here.

(cheery music)

Finn, would you like to join us for a hanging?

I mean hang.

- Um.

- Yeah, that sounds fun,

and I can invite Suzette.

- Great. I'm in, too, then.

And Cora, you and I can talk more about Second Chances.

- Yes, okay, I was thinking

that, maybe, if we could get some DAs

to recommend it during sentencing,

that would be the game-changer.

Yeah.

(friendly pop music)

- Wow, finally, place that I can understand.

Oh, almost.

- So, when did you leave Ireland to come here?

- Argh, it feels like 200 years ago.

I wanna know something.

- [Cora] Hmm.

- Why did you

- Well, my dad was the chief of police,

so it was a reality I knew,

and it was the clear path.

But he wasn't

so that's made things tough,

- Yeah, but you're tough.

- Still gets tiring

feeling like everyone's against you, though.

Like, even if one

nobody would think that I earned it.

- So why do you do it?

- 'Cause it's a way that I can do good in the world.

- You don't, by chance, know Rousseau, do you?

- "The fate of man is to be governed by chance."

- "To make his," or her,

- Yeah.

So, I, I guess I just believe

that a person's

- Hey. Um, Suzette, this is Detective Liam O'Connor.

- Oh, so you're the new partner Cora's been texting me about

all day, huh?

What?

I'm just saying

have bone structure like that.

- Charmed.

- (gasps) Stop.

- Liam, I meant to ask you before.

Do you know Chelsea Coleman in the DA's office in Portland?

Collaborated on a case a while back.

- Can't say that I do,

but I guess, in Portland,

as closely with our DAs

as you guys apparently do in Providence Falls.

- Oh, well, I mean, we

all that often, just when

- Guess it's just fate that has old Finn here

working your cases.

- Well, lucky me 'cause Finn is very thorough.

- Finn, I noticed that

Do ya also enjoy a spot of tea.

- Comes from my

- Small world.

- As fun as it is, I'm gonna go play some music.

- I'll help you. It's

Okay, spill.

- Spill what?

- [Suzette] Who are you into?

- Neither, because,

I can't be dating a

- [Finn] We got anything good?

- [Suzette] Oh, shoot,

(Cora scoffs)

- [Cora] Hmm.

- So, who you gonna pick?

- What? Uh!

Oh, sorry, uh, music.

I don't know yet.

- Speaking of music,

are you, are you planning on, uh, going to the police ball?

- Uh, no, I already

with my coworkers judging me.

I don't need to do it on the weekends too.

- Oh, fair enough.

I have to go for work.

I thought, maybe, we could keep

Boyd said something

That place is nicknamed the Museum of Poor Decisions.

You know, Cora's been looking to rent out her guest house

You might ask her about it.

Ta, I really like you.

I've been calling you all day.

Why haven't you answered?

- Uh, yes, that was me on the thing,

patiently waiting for you.

- [Liam] For me to...

- What's with you tonight?

- Uh.

- John and I are officially over.

Yes, he's still living at the house for now, but,

but that doesn't mean that you and I can't pick up

where we left off.

- And where was that

(phone buzzes)

- I have to go.

Answer your phone tomorrow,

- Hi. Um-

- Cora.

- Sorry, I was just...

- Suzette mentioned that you have a guest house for let.

Any chance you'd rent it to me for a while?

I fear that the inn that I'm at might give me smallpox.

- Uh, well, I'm pretty sure

sure, to the guest house

I think unorthodox was the word used.

- I'm sure I'm flattered.

- So what are you doing here at Cora's house?

- Oh, uh, he's gonna rent the guest house.

- Hmm.

Can you excuse us for a minute?

- Yeah.

- Yeah. (clears throat)

- I don't like the looks of him.

Maybe I should

and get Boyd to do a background check

on him.

This is my business.

I don't need it dragged down to the station,

- Mm-hmm.

Why is the department making things happen

the same way they did back in Ireland?

- That wasn't us.

It must be some sort of a mistake or something,

some unintended consequence.

Sometimes, prized

Destiny is this powerful force,

and uh, you know what they say: history often rhymes.

- Well, if history rhymes,

things didn't end very well

myself and Cora included.

- Right, yeah, um,

well, let's hope that history doesn't rhyme.

Listen, none of this matters

as long as you get Finn and Cora back together.

You just need some sorta situation

where they can really connect,

something like, uh...

Ah!

- [Officer] Can I help you with those?

- Okay, ha, this is perfect.

Is there anything more romantic than a ball?

(longing music)

(cricket chirps)

- Liam,

what you got there?

- Something that says the police ball is coming up.

Will you be attending that?

- Uh, no. I don't know

But I'm not exactly trading

with my coworkers.

- Well, maybe that's exactly

you know, a chance for them to see you

as more than just your

outside of work,

and maybe you and I could have a dance, as well.

- What, just two professional cops

being cops together?

(Cora chuckles)

Yeah, I dunno about that.

But you might be right about the face time

with my colleagues.

- Yeah, so let's go, you know, you and me

and Finn and Suzette, maybe.

- Suzette does love a party.

Oh, my art supplies

Um, I have to get these

Would you maybe wanna come check it out?

I'd love to.

- DIY stuff for the kids

to make personalized

We're having a

and I'm hoping it's gonna bring community sponsors

so scholarships, job

I just want people to see

how much potential these kids have

and really invest in them.

- Sound idea. How'd you get started in all this?

- Well, when I was a beat cop,

we kept pulling in the same kids,

just in and outta the system.

And when they got out, there

- Now, some people might say that's their fate.

- But Rousseau says we make our own fate.

(Liam chuckles)

I just wanna give these kids a chance.

but you know, just be careful.

Sometimes, saving another can lead to harming oneself.

You called in a hot tip about the Brady house last night?

- What?

- We traced your phone, obviously.

You musta known we were gonna do that.

- Unorthodox but good, huh?

- What do you know about

- Nothing. I swear.

I, I just had a hunch

that his house would be the next target,

'cause Meredith said he was outta town.

- Why didn't you go through

- And say what exactly? I had a funny feeling?

- Okay, well, we're gonna need to know where you were

at midnight last night,

because that's when the neighbors said

that they heard shots from the Brady house.

- I was just with Meredith, driving around. That's it.

- Can anyone else corroborate that?

Ideally someone who's

to help us identify them?

No, I, I can't remember.

Gonna take a few days while we clear this up.

Did you see Finn and Cora? Ooh la la, heh.

and Cora thinks that I had something to do with it.

- It's all happening again, just like it did

back in Ireland.

(door knocks)

Cora.

- I heard voices.

- [Liam] Uh.

- Is Meredith here?

- No, she's not. Why would you think that?

- Because you were with her all night.

- I told you. It's

- It doesn't matter.

You don't owe me anything,

but you do need to tell me where she is,

because we haven't been able to get ahold of her

since this morning.

- Meredith's disappeared?

- Yes.

- So it's just like last time.

- What are you talking

- No, uh...

- Why are you

- I can't tell ya. I wish I could tell ya.

- Okay.

- Cora.

my instincts about you when I met you.

You're bad news.

- Yeah, well, you

(Department HQ rumbles)

- There you are. Things are

John Brady is dead. Liam is a suspect.

And he said that

the same way that did back in Ireland.

- Oh, well, sadly, that's their fate.

- What? No, it can't be.

It-

That is not our job.

Our job is to clear these souls from Limbo

and allow their actions in this life to dictate

where they belong after.

- Is there any hope for them?

- Urgh (huffs), Agon, listen.

I am not a purveyor of what

but, but I can tell you one thing after eons of this work.

There's always hope.

'Kay.

Hmm.

(key clacks)

(fire crackles)

- There ya are. I was worried.

- Cora, uh, so, John

- What?

into his house,

just trying to return

do the right thing,

But uh, someone

and Brady was just there,

And the maid saw me,

and she thinks that I did it, but I didn't do it.

- I know. I know you didn't.

My father knows the constable.

He can help.

You can tell them the truth.

- Tell them what?

That I stole from John?

They'll hang me for that just as quick

as they would for murder, as quick as they would for,

for being with you.

- Then we run.

- "We"?

No, Cora, I can't ask you

to-

I'm choosing.

- Cora, no, I, I

- You can't stop me!

- Cora, you have a life here!

You have ev- - I love you.

- What?

- I do.

I love you.

(poignant music)

(poignant music continues)

I would go anywhere with you.

- I shouldn't let you,

but the devil take me,

I love you too

Here.

You put this back on,

and you keep that

as a reminder that where you go I go.

I'll hide in the woods.

I'll make the arrangements

- Soon.

(handle clunks)

(latch clicks)

I need you to get me

from the gas station.

- I'm on it there.

- [James] There ya are.

- Dad, what are you doing here?

- I heard your new partner got caught up

in the middle of a murder case.

I need to talk to Boyd to make sure

that you're covered politically, okay?

- No, Dad, you are not gonna do that.

First of all, it undermines me

in front of all my colleagues,

and I'm trying very hard to prove myself to them

to make myself more than just their memory of you.

And second, it makes me feel like you don't believe in me,

and I am so tired of trying

- Well, I didn't know you're doing all that.

- I am. I've done

I've followed in your footsteps.

I'm on my way to make chief.

What else do you want from me?

- Cora, this isn't about what I want.

This should be

- Sorry to interrupt. It was already requested.

Surveillance footage is in.

- Well, I want to get back to work.

- Okay.

(bleak music)

(Cora huffs)

(tingling music)

(mouse clicks)

(bird chirps)

(game chirps)

(door clunks)

- Rough night?

- Argh, I didn't know my stepdad

He, he just handed me the credit card skimmer,

uh, a-and, and said I had to help him.

And then Liam was there.

And, and, and, and then

- Wait, so you did, you did see Liam?

- With some woman. Jake's

- Dom.

(tense music)

Oh, it's, uh, it's okay. Stay a little longer.

- Uh, no, Jake, I actually...

I wanted to talk to you.

Wow, that's a nice watch.

- Thanks, a friend

- That's a good friend.

Police! Stop right there!

Stop right there!

Hands where I can see 'em.

(concerned music)

- Cora.

- Ah, thank you for getting here on such short notice.

- Course, anything to help the case.

- This is a terrible day for you, Jake:

Memento's stolen

credit card skimmers,

- No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.

I had nothing to do with a murder.

- Then we are

for you last night at midnight.

- I was at the gas station,

and I got into a

who was accusing me of some stuff.

- Can you describe this fool?

- Yeah, I guess '30s,

little taller than me, um,

funny accent, with a lady in a fancy dress.

- Was anyone else with you?

(weeping music)

- No, just me.

(gleaming music)

- Great, well, now that

I have a couple other things

(weighty music)

(wood scrapes)

You don't have to do that.

- I wanna do it. Free time and idle hands and all that.

- Well, then I have bad news

'cause you're gonna have less free time

since you're coming

- What?

We pulled in Jake Petrowski,

and he supported your alibi in the John Brady murder.

So you did know it was him, and you recognized Dominic.

And you were willing to take a murder rap to protect him?

Why?

- Second chances.

I heard you solved the jewellery case.

- Yeah, Jake had his sticky fingers in that one too.

Somebody reached out to

- Who's behind it?

- The jewellery store owner.

- Really?

- Apparently, the

and he's friends with the O'Malleys,

heard about their house getting broken into.

And so he decided do a copycat crime,

try to collect the insurance money,

and sell the jewels

- Clever.

- But it still doesn't get us any closer to figuring out

who did the other jobs or who killed John Brady.

- "Us"?

- We are partners.

Um, right, I have to get changed and get going.

But um, you should come to the barbecue.

I think there's someone there who'd wanna see you.

(aloof pop music)

- [Delinquent] I dunno.

- There's my dad.

- Well, give him my best.

- Oh, I will.

Also, Dominic should be here somewhere,

so you guys should talk.

- Yeah.

- Hey, there she

- So what do you think of my hobby?

- Okay, I'm sorry. I

You are changing these kids' lives,

and I'm proud of you, honey.

- Thank you.

- You know me. I just want you to be happy.

- What do you mean?

- Okay, good.

- Oh, Suzette just got here. I'll be back.

- [James] All

- Huh (sighs).

- Thank you so much.

- Of course. Happy to help.

I only asked to be repaid in gossip.

So how's the love triangle going?

- Argh, why are you so

- Because I don't have one of my own.

- Hmm, okay, well, how much time do you have?

- [Volunteer] Ah, yeah, just put 'em right there.

- [Volunteer] Ah, you made it.

- Hey there, boyo.

- Hey, I'm sorry about everything. Shoulda

- It's all right.

And hey, ya got a second chance now, don't ya?

Don't waste it.

- I won't.

- Good lad.

♪ Hands to the sky

- So are you as good on the grill

as you are on the dance floor?

- Ha, once again,

- [Cora] (chuckles) Hmm.

- Congratulations.

Looks like you really helped

which I do find surprising 'cause it really did seem

like you were

for yourself there for a bit.

- I was.

I still wanna believe that things could be different,

that we could defy destiny.

- But.

- But my love is what

I can't let that happen again.

She should be with Finn.

- Just because you and

doesn't mean you weren't also a beautiful one.

- About the other night...

- We don't have to. It's fine.

- No, I, I want to.

Look, I know you and I haven't spent

that much time together,

but I have this feeling like,

like I already know you.

And of course, uh, uh, I know you, but

it's more than that.

Do you know what I mean?

- Yeah, yeah, I do.

Can, can we talk about this later?
