00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:38,198
- Look at it.Just look at it.

3
00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:40,366
- It looks like alovely home to me.

00:01:55,114 --> 00:01:56,549

Come, come, come.

Oh! What's that?- I don't know.

8
00:02:11,297 --> 00:02:13,133
- Did you see someone?- No.

9
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:26,145
- Here. Take a look.

10
00:02:28,248 --> 00:02:31,451
- Oh! What delicate"rosa borso."

11
00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:34,220
- But at this time of year?After the first frost?

12
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:36,156
It's bizarre!

13
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:42,795
- Ah!

14
00:02:42,795 --> 00:02:46,132

[Gasping]- Don't!

16
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:52,405
If you don't know what it is,you don't know what it will do.

17
00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:55,508
- Martha, it's a flower.- Yes, one of her flowers...

18
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:57,610
And if there's one thing I know

19
00:02:57,610 --> 00:03:01,247
about Miss Cassie Nightingaleit's: one never knows.

20
00:03:01,247 --> 00:03:03,149
- Oh, stop fretting.

21
00:03:03,149 --> 00:03:07,187
This is the perfect setting forthe Bicentennial celebration.

22
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:09,289
- But it's such animportant event.

23
00:03:09,289 --> 00:03:12,625
Why celebrate the town'straditions with the mostuntraditional woman in town?

24
00:03:12,625 --> 00:03:16,529
- Because her house is 200years old. It's a landmark.

25
00:03:16,529 --> 00:03:20,233
And the womanobviously has a green thumb.- Huh. Probably green all over.

26
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:23,203

- Get real. There'sno such thing.- Really, Cassie?

31
00:03:55,501 --> 00:03:58,471
- Well, maybe it wasMother Nature yawning

32
00:03:58,471 --> 00:04:02,041
in preparation fora long winter's nap.

33
00:04:02,041 --> 00:04:05,245
- I could use a nap myself.[Laughing]

- You better takea break, grandpa.

35
00:04:07,614 --> 00:04:11,050
- I wish Mother Nature wouldstop blowing back all theleaves we just raked up.

36
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:13,186
- She blew quite a few upagainst the back fence.

37
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:16,522
Why not pile all yourleaves there, and builda mountain to jump into?

[Sighing and laughing]

39
00:04:21,027 --> 00:04:24,330

- It's tonight'ssalad. Organic.

00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:34,741
- I'm not much forrabbit food.

44
00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:37,844
- Oh, the rabbits wouldn'ttouch my garden.- Why not?

45
00:04:37,844 --> 00:04:41,281

46
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:44,117

50
00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:55,595
- Thank you. That's whyI'm digging extra deep today.

51
00:04:55,595 --> 00:04:57,063
So the roots

52
00:04:57,063 --> 00:04:59,832
really take hold.

53
00:04:59,832 --> 00:05:02,568
I've found my onetrue home here, George.

54
00:05:02,568 --> 00:05:04,904
I can finally say,

55
00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:07,073
this is where I belong.

- Well, that's debatable.- Can I help you?

59
00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:25,758
- No. This is a matter thatneeds to be investigatedby your Chief of Police.

60
00:05:25,758 --> 00:05:28,494
It concernsMiss Cassie Nightingale.

61
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:30,296
- Go ahead, Martha.

62
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:32,465
- I was standingoutside Grey House,

63
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:34,634

64
00:05:34,634 --> 00:05:36,769
seized my ankle.

65
00:05:36,769 --> 00:05:40,773
- Cassie grabbed your ankle?- What? No. It was her creeper.

66
00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:44,844
- Her what?- A vine. A vineon the ground, that creeps!

67
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:48,715

[Whispering]: Some of whichI suspect may be illegal.

69
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:54,620
- Well, sounds to me likeyou tripped on a root.

70
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:56,923
- We can't have her hostingthe opening night gala

71

72
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:03,329
I insist that you fullyinvestigate what she'sgrowing in there.

73
00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:05,331
- If you insist, Martha.

74
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:09,202
- I do. The citizens ofMiddleton are entitledto a full report.

75
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:10,803
Out of my way!

that she was attackedby one of your plants.

103

00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:04,116
- I know that the plantdidn't just go after her.

105
00:08:04,116 --> 00:08:06,586
- Then you know my plantsbetter than I do.

106

- Nosy.

- Look, it warmed the cocklesof my heart just to see it.

148
00:10:50,716 --> 00:10:52,952
- The plants usually keepthose windows fogged up.

149
00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:55,488

Oh. I thought I hadmore money than that.

- But we're supposedto do our report

354
00:24:01,206 --> 00:24:03,975
on a big event that happenedin our town's history.

355
00:24:03,975 --> 00:24:06,812
- Big trees fromlittle acorns grow.

356
00:24:11,683 --> 00:24:14,252
- And so, Duke yells...- Fire!

357
00:24:14,252 --> 00:24:17,622
- And I go stuff all thepaper towels down allthe girls' toilets until--

358
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:21,460
- The whole place floods![Laughing]- Pardon me.

359
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:23,261
- You should have been there!- Oh yeah.

360
00:24:23,261 --> 00:24:25,463
- Water down the whole hall!

361
00:24:27,098 --> 00:24:30,302
- Yeah, then Mrs. Buttrick camerunning in, and she slipped

362
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,604
and fell right in it!

363
00:24:32,604 --> 00:24:35,140
- Good afternoon, Cicely.

364
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:38,376
- Whatever happenedto common courtesy?

365
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:48,286
[Laughing]- That's funny.- So, uh, what's your idea?

366
00:24:48,286 --> 00:24:51,256
- Oh, um, I remembersomething my dad toldme that was pretty funny.

367
00:24:51,256 --> 00:24:53,525
- Your dad?- Uh...

368
00:24:53,525 --> 00:24:55,627
- Well, yeah.[Uneasy laugh]

369
00:24:55,627 --> 00:24:58,563
See, he changedthe tape in the churchtower, so instead of bells...

370
00:24:58,563 --> 00:25:00,465
[Uneasy laugh]it played Led Zeppelin.

371
00:25:00,465 --> 00:25:03,568
- No, dude. That's- that's lame.

372
00:25:03,568 --> 00:25:07,372
Look, if you want in, you'regonna have to do something huge.

373
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:10,275
- Like what?- Don't worry about it.

374
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:12,611
We'll let you know.- Yeah. Later.

375
00:25:22,654 --> 00:25:25,724
- Hmm.- Good afternoon, Martha.

376
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,926
[Martha gasping]

377
00:25:27,926 --> 00:25:30,395
- Miss Nightingale.

378
00:25:30,395 --> 00:25:33,164
- Chief Russell toldme you had an encounterwith one of my creepers.

379
00:25:33,164 --> 00:25:35,267
- Do you doubt it?- Oh, not at all.

380
00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:38,436
I just wondered if you had anychafing or allergic reaction.

381
00:25:38,436 --> 00:25:42,440
- I'm fine. The matter's closed.- Because I have some specialointment in my shop.

382
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,310
- I am not in the moodfor your black magic

383
00:25:45,310 --> 00:25:47,212
this morning.

384
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:49,281
- You seem very troubledby something today.

385
00:25:49,281 --> 00:25:51,583
- I understandthat you have

386
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:53,551
a paying gueststaying at Grey House.

387
00:25:53,551 --> 00:25:56,288
- Only one so far. But Ihave room for a couple more.

388
00:25:56,288 --> 00:25:58,723
- You're also hostingour Bicentennial party.

389
00:25:58,723 --> 00:26:00,592
Do you want ourdistinguished guests

390
00:26:00,592 --> 00:26:03,528
to think of Grey House as somesort of flophouse for vagrants?

391
00:26:03,528 --> 00:26:06,598
- A bed and breakfast, Martha.- Do you think it's a good idea?

392
00:26:06,598 --> 00:26:10,302
- The extra income will helppay some bills. You know howit is with these fixer-uppers.

393
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:13,672
- But, I mean, throwing openyour doors to strangersoff the street...

394
00:26:13,672 --> 00:26:16,908
- Well, they won'tbe strangers for long.

395
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:19,311
- Frankly, I don't believe thatyou're the best judge of people.

396
00:26:19,311 --> 00:26:21,646
- I don't judgepeople, Martha.

397
00:26:21,646 --> 00:26:23,715
Especially whenI first meet them.

398
00:26:23,715 --> 00:26:27,252
People have a way of showingyou who they really are -if you just give them time.

399
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:29,054
- Whatever that means.

400
00:26:29,054 --> 00:26:31,656

401
00:26:31,656 --> 00:26:34,326
- Ha! That'll be acold day in July!

402
00:26:40,432 --> 00:26:42,233
- Oh, I couldn't agree more.

403
00:26:43,802 --> 00:26:45,704
I'm working on it.

404
00:26:45,704 --> 00:26:48,606
[Man talking at the other end]

405
00:26:50,608 --> 00:26:53,445
It's a perfect opportunity totake advantage of the situation.

406
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,680
- [Great.]- Okay, I got to go.

407
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,149
- Taking care of business?

408
00:26:58,149 --> 00:27:00,285
- It never ends.- Hmm.

409
00:27:00,285 --> 00:27:02,420
For you and me both.

410
00:27:02,420 --> 00:27:06,291
So, did you doany sightseeing today?

411
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:10,228
- No. To tell you thetruth, I'm perfectlyhappy just to stay here.

412
00:27:10,228 --> 00:27:13,231
- Yeah, Grey House does havea magnetic quality, doesn't it?

413
00:27:13,231 --> 00:27:16,234
- Yes. Keeps whispering to me,

414
00:27:16,234 --> 00:27:20,138
"Stay. Stay."- Are you sure that wasn'tthe hiss of my boiler pipes?

415
00:27:20,138 --> 00:27:22,340
I need to replace thoseas soon as I can afford it.

416
00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:24,609
- Well, old houses

417
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,578
are an expensive proposition.

418
00:27:26,578 --> 00:27:28,480
- Yes, they are.

419
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,582
- The house you once thoughthistoric and charming

420
00:27:30,582 --> 00:27:32,584
suddenly becomes a money pit.

421
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:34,986
- Well, my lovefor Grey House

422
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:37,822
is unconditional.

423
00:27:37,822 --> 00:27:40,458
How doesthe old poem go?

424
00:27:40,458 --> 00:27:43,662
Thanks. "Even theweariest river

425
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:46,498
winds its waysafe to sea."

426
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,934
This home is the end of avery long journey for me.

427
00:27:49,934 --> 00:27:53,204
- Yes, you've been throughso much in your life.

428
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:56,708
- What do youmean, "my life?"

429
00:27:56,708 --> 00:27:59,277
- Only that a real home isthat much more to the orphan

430
00:27:59,277 --> 00:28:02,047
who spent so manyyears wandering.

431
00:28:03,615 --> 00:28:05,683
- Who told you that?

432
00:28:05,683 --> 00:28:09,120
- I had a great-aunt inBaltimore. She mappedthe entire family tree.

433
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:12,023
You were one of the mostinteresting branches.

434
00:28:15,093 --> 00:28:18,196
- Hmm. Well, I wouldlove to see that some time.

435

[Background chatter]- Say.

436
00:28:37,082 --> 00:28:40,452
That guy Cassie took in,he is something else!

437
00:28:40,452 --> 00:28:43,288
- What happened?- He offered to buy me a donut!

438
00:28:43,288 --> 00:28:46,558
- Really? Why amI not surprised?

439
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:50,962
- But I told him cops and donutswas a crude stereotype.So, he apologized.

440
00:28:50,962 --> 00:28:54,032
And he offered to buy me -a whole bag of donuts.

441
00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:57,836
- Oh, good.- Nice guy. Good looking, too.

442
00:28:57,836 --> 00:28:59,838
- I haven't noticed.

443
00:28:59,838 --> 00:29:02,040
- He's like a moviestar or something.

444
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,943
- Yeah. Just likehe's playing a part?

445
00:29:04,943 --> 00:29:08,913
- You got to lighten up, Jake.He seems like an okay guy to me.

446
00:29:08,913 --> 00:29:12,617
- Seems. I'm not buying it. I'vebeen climbing his family tree.

447
00:29:12,617 --> 00:29:14,786
There's a lot of limbs missing.

448
00:29:14,786 --> 00:29:17,222
I can't find anything

449
00:29:17,222 --> 00:29:19,758
about this great ancestorof his, Captain Hamblin.

450
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:22,093
- And what doesCassie think?

451
00:29:22,093 --> 00:29:24,062
- Same as shealways thinks.

452
00:29:24,062 --> 00:29:26,498
She operateson intuition.

453
00:29:26,498 --> 00:29:28,933
I'm going to get the facts.

454
00:29:40,478 --> 00:29:44,282

- No. Not at all.

Do you ever stop working?

00:34:12,216 --> 00:34:16,154
[Phone ringing again]- Call me George.[Beep!]

527
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:19,824
- George, I have theloveliest garden basil,

528
00:34:19,824 --> 00:34:23,661
and I'm making a pesto that'smuch too much for just one.

529
00:34:23,661 --> 00:34:25,963
Call me.[Beep!]

530
00:34:25,963 --> 00:34:27,999
- You seem to be very busy.

531
00:34:27,999 --> 00:34:30,001
I'll, uh, I'll let you go.

532
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:31,602
- Gwen.

533
00:34:43,481 --> 00:34:45,716
- Hi.

534
00:34:45,716 --> 00:34:47,518
- What time is it?

535
00:34:47,518 --> 00:34:49,821
- Uh, I don't know. 6:10.

536
00:34:49,821 --> 00:34:53,658
- Oh, my gosh. Uh, sorry. Giveme five minutes, okay?- Oh, it's okay.

537
00:34:53,658 --> 00:34:56,227
We're not in a rush. I'm notmuch for sequels anyway.

538
00:34:56,227 --> 00:34:59,564
- Sorry about that.I just lost track of time,

539
00:34:59,564 --> 00:35:02,500
with the house,the shop and the garden.

540
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:04,435
- And the guest.

541
00:35:04,435 --> 00:35:07,105
- You don'tlike him, do you?

542
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:10,441
- Well, I haven't know him longenough to form an opinion.

543
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:14,612
I do know he's moved arounda lot in the past 5 years.

544
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:16,848
- Jake, so did I.

545
00:35:16,848 --> 00:35:20,651
Until I found Grey House.Maybe it runs in the family.

546
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:23,955
- I haven't foundany details about hisconnection to the Captain.

547
00:35:23,955 --> 00:35:25,656
- Talk to Nick.

548
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:28,359
- Talk to him? Whywould I believe him?

549
00:35:28,359 --> 00:35:30,528
- You're sayinghe's a liar?

550
00:35:30,528 --> 00:35:33,431
- No, I'm just saying keepyour distance. That's all.

551
00:35:33,431 --> 00:35:36,601
- Jake Russell, you're jealous.- No. No, I'm not.

552
00:35:36,601 --> 00:35:39,337
- Yes, you are.- Of who? "Slick?"

553
00:35:39,337 --> 00:35:43,241
- Just because he'shandsome and charming...- Oh, now it comes out!

554
00:35:43,241 --> 00:35:46,544
- No. What's just come outis that you don't trust me.

555
00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:48,779
- No, it's yourguest I don't trust.

556
00:35:48,779 --> 00:35:51,782
- Oh, have a littlefaith in people!

557
00:35:51,782 --> 00:35:55,286
- Cassie, after18 years of being a cop,I've learned a few things.

558
00:35:55,286 --> 00:35:58,956
Bad things canhappen to good people.

559
00:35:58,956 --> 00:36:01,526
- Just think of all the goodthings you'd miss out on ifyou always had that attitude.

560
00:36:01,526 --> 00:36:03,528
- Cassie.

561
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:06,297
You have this wonderful way ofbringing out the best in people.

562
00:36:06,297 --> 00:36:09,333
I just don't want anyone totake advantage of that.- I'm not worried.

563
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:12,503
- Well, maybe you should be. Wecan't afford to be too trusting.

564
00:36:12,503 --> 00:36:16,040
- I can't afford not to.- I know you have bills. I know.

565
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,944
- Jake, a life where youcan't trust people isa pretty poor life.

566
00:36:19,944 --> 00:36:23,314
- Just promise me that--- I know what I'm doing.

567
00:36:35,893 --> 00:36:38,195
- Two.- Sure thing.

568
00:36:38,195 --> 00:36:40,331
- Hello,Mrs. Tinsdale.

569
00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:43,701
- I'm sorry. Have we met?

570
00:36:43,701 --> 00:36:46,837
- No. I'm about to remedy that.My name is Nick. Nick Chasen.

571
00:36:46,837 --> 00:36:49,607
- Now where haveI heard that name?

572
00:36:49,607 --> 00:36:52,476
- I'm staying at Grey House.- Oh.

573
00:36:52,476 --> 00:36:54,745
Yes, well, I'm just pickingup some pastries and tea.

574
00:36:54,745 --> 00:36:56,514
To go.

575
00:36:56,514 --> 00:37:00,084
- Tea in a cardboard cup?No, no. I won't allow that.

576
00:37:00,084 --> 00:37:02,253
- Oh, but I--- Why not share my Earl Grey?

577
00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:04,355
- But I--- It's perfectly steeped.

578
00:37:04,355 --> 00:37:07,558
In a china cup. May I?

579
00:37:07,558 --> 00:37:10,361
- Well, if you insist.

580
00:37:10,361 --> 00:37:13,764
- You know, thisis the first really

581
00:37:13,764 --> 00:37:16,133
good cup of tea I've hadsince I've come to Middleton.

582
00:37:16,133 --> 00:37:19,237
- Oh?- No offenseto Miss Nightingale.

583
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:24,709
Oh, no, no. We won'tbe needing that. Marthadoesn't take sugar in her tea.

584
00:37:24,709 --> 00:37:27,278
- Now how on earthdo you know that?

585
00:37:27,278 --> 00:37:30,615
- Any woman savvy enough towear this scarf with this jacket

586
00:37:30,615 --> 00:37:33,017
knows you don't dilute agood blend with cane sugar.

587
00:37:33,017 --> 00:37:35,052
[Laughing]

588
00:37:35,052 --> 00:37:38,422
- You impress me as someonewith impeccable taste.

589
00:37:38,422 --> 00:37:40,057
- It takes oneto know one.

590
00:37:40,057 --> 00:37:42,660
- Oh.

591
00:37:52,570 --> 00:37:56,007
- I should hire your friendsto help us out. I haven't seenthem around here in a while.

592
00:37:56,007 --> 00:37:58,643
- Me neither.

593
00:38:00,244 --> 00:38:02,913
- Well, good friends arehard to come by. I know.

594
00:38:02,913 --> 00:38:05,750
When I was a teen,I moved around a lot.

595
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:08,753
The minute I made new friends, Iwas off to the next foster home.

596
00:38:08,753 --> 00:38:10,688
Making new friends

597
00:38:10,688 --> 00:38:12,957
was just as hard aslosing the old ones.

598
00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:16,394
- I guess so.

599
00:38:16,394 --> 00:38:20,598
- I guess every teengoes through changes.

600
00:38:20,598 --> 00:38:22,967
Mine just seemed enormous.I had so many questions,

601
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:26,470
and no one I felt I could reallytalk to, you know what I mean?

602
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:29,340
- Mm-hmm.- I had a pretty rough time

603
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:31,275
as a teen.

604
00:38:38,115 --> 00:38:39,650
This...

605
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:41,819
helped methrough those times.

606
00:38:41,819 --> 00:38:43,821
Maybe it'll help you.

607
00:38:43,821 --> 00:38:46,524
- A mirror?

608
00:38:46,524 --> 00:38:49,493
- When all the questions werespinning around in my head,

609
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:52,229
I just took a goodlong look at myself

610
00:38:52,229 --> 00:38:54,131
and the answer would come.

611
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,203
- Is it - magic?

612
00:38:59,203 --> 00:39:01,672
Do I talk to it?

613
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:05,176
- You just take a goodlong look at yourself.

614
00:39:10,448 --> 00:39:11,916
- Thanks.

615
00:39:11,916 --> 00:39:14,985
- Brandon.

616
00:39:14,985 --> 00:39:17,922
Don't sit down, you mighthave seven years of bad luck.

617
00:39:17,922 --> 00:39:21,659
- Thanks, Cassie.- Bye.

618
00:39:30,568 --> 00:39:33,270
- Hopefully Miss Nightingalewill keep her keynotespeech short.

619
00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:35,840
When she's finished,Miss Cicely Price will sing

620
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,908
her originalcomposition entitled...

621
00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:40,578
- ♪ You're aGrand Old Grey House ♪E

622
00:39:40,578 --> 00:39:43,314
In honor of its 200th year.

623
00:39:43,314 --> 00:39:46,050
- And then, let's keepthe music going with, um...

624
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:47,651
oh, a parade!

625
00:39:47,651 --> 00:39:51,389
- A big parade, down thehill to Town Square.

626
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:54,892
- With floats. Madefrom flowers.- A dozen floats.

627
00:39:54,892 --> 00:39:58,863
Each one depicting a key eventin the town's 200-year history.

628
00:39:58,863 --> 00:40:01,999
- It sounds expensive.- Mayor Tinsdale...

629
00:40:01,999 --> 00:40:04,168
It's our 200th birthday party!

630
00:40:04,168 --> 00:40:07,138
- We need to close the eventwith some kind of a big... bang.

631
00:40:07,138 --> 00:40:08,439
- Fireworks.

632
00:40:12,810 --> 00:40:14,378
- Sir, we can't afford it.

633
00:40:14,378 --> 00:40:17,281
We can't afford any of this.

634
00:40:17,281 --> 00:40:19,950
- I think you'll find fireworkscan be very reasonable,

635
00:40:19,950 --> 00:40:21,619
if you have connections.

636
00:40:23,287 --> 00:40:25,489
- Excuse me, you'renot on this committee.

637
00:40:25,489 --> 00:40:29,493
- No sir, I'm not. But I wouldlove to serve under yourlovely wife Martha here.

638
00:40:29,493 --> 00:40:32,863
You see, we've beentalking about how to addsome pizzazz to this party.

639
00:40:32,863 --> 00:40:36,801
You can't expect Cassie'sspeech to, uh, carry the event.

640
00:40:36,801 --> 00:40:40,337
- Hmm. Uh, Mr. Chasen isan accomplished businessman.

641
00:40:40,337 --> 00:40:42,273
Please. You were saying?

642
00:40:42,273 --> 00:40:44,942
Nick?

643
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:46,944
- Thank you.You see, folks,

644
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:49,380
there was a lot ofrain on the 4th last summer.

645
00:40:49,380 --> 00:40:51,816
I have an old associatewho is sitting on a warehouse

646
00:40:51,816 --> 00:40:53,751
that is full of fireworks.

647
00:40:53,751 --> 00:40:55,953
And I bet I canpersuade him to sell us

648
00:40:55,953 --> 00:40:58,622
those fireworks ata fraction of the cost.

649
00:41:00,324 --> 00:41:03,127
- Now what do yousay to fireworks?

650
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:06,263
- Oh, and Mr. mayor,for the finale,

651
00:41:06,263 --> 00:41:08,365
I was thinking,a firework tableau.

652
00:41:08,365 --> 00:41:11,469
Why don't we recreate theoriginal town flag of Middleton?

653
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:13,771
- Oh!- Marvelous!

654
00:41:17,074 --> 00:41:20,444
- Now where would I get an imageof that original town flag?

655
00:41:20,444 --> 00:41:23,914
- Right up the stairs,beside the records office,is the Historical Society.

656
00:41:23,914 --> 00:41:25,149
- Excellent.

657
00:41:38,462 --> 00:41:40,464
- I found him, Derek.- [Where was he?]

658
00:41:40,464 --> 00:41:42,833
- Meeting with theBicentennial committee.

659
00:41:42,833 --> 00:41:45,035
- [Sounds likea major felony to me.]

660
00:41:45,035 --> 00:41:47,805
[Throw the book at him.]- Very funny. Out.

661
00:41:54,044 --> 00:41:57,014
Mr. Chasen.- Yes, officer.

662
00:41:57,014 --> 00:41:59,116
- Can I ask you acouple of questions?

663
00:41:59,116 --> 00:42:01,652
- Could it wait? I haveto get back to Grey House.

664
00:42:01,652 --> 00:42:04,788
- I'll walk with you.- Terrific. A police escort.

665
00:42:04,788 --> 00:42:07,424
- You made a lot offriends in Middleton.

666
00:42:07,424 --> 00:42:10,394
- Yes, it's a friendly town.- You're a friendly guy.

667
00:42:10,394 --> 00:42:13,464
- Is that a crime, officer?- No.

668
00:42:13,464 --> 00:42:17,268
I just wondered how you knew somuch about Cassie Nightingale.- I'm not sure what you mean.

669
00:42:17,268 --> 00:42:20,571
- You know about her parents,that they passed away.

670
00:42:20,571 --> 00:42:23,574
You know that she was in afoster home, that she ran away.

671
00:42:23,574 --> 00:42:25,843
- Yeah. Fascinatingwoman, isn't she?

672
00:42:25,843 --> 00:42:29,213
- Personal stuff. Justanswer the question.

673
00:42:29,213 --> 00:42:31,248
- Chief Russell,

674
00:42:31,248 --> 00:42:33,851
Cassie and I sharea common heritage.

675
00:42:33,851 --> 00:42:36,053
Common ancestors.

676
00:42:36,053 --> 00:42:38,589
We even sharethe same home.

677
00:42:38,589 --> 00:42:40,791
- You don't seem likethe sharing type.

678
00:42:40,791 --> 00:42:43,327
- Is thisinterrogation over?

679
00:42:43,327 --> 00:42:47,064
- No. I wonder why have you beenasking the town clerk aboutthe taxes on Grey House.

680
00:42:48,632 --> 00:42:50,668
- I was curious.

681
00:42:50,668 --> 00:42:53,504
Curious to see how much ahome like that would cost me.

682
00:42:53,504 --> 00:42:56,140
I like this town. AndI'd like a home of my own.

683
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:59,410
- Ah.- Then you're sure to find it.

684
00:42:59,410 --> 00:43:01,045
- Cassie.

685
00:43:01,045 --> 00:43:03,147
What are you doing here?

686
00:43:03,147 --> 00:43:05,849
- Oh, vacuum bags.My broom needed a break.

687
00:43:05,849 --> 00:43:08,585
And I need two strong men.Looks like I found them.

688
00:43:14,191 --> 00:43:16,226
Stop. It's perfect.

689
00:43:16,226 --> 00:43:18,762
Just needs a little less sun.

690
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:22,333
- It needs something.- You'll see.

691
00:43:22,333 --> 00:43:25,135
TheVeritashas a way ofsurprising you. Just wait.

692
00:43:25,135 --> 00:43:28,739
The blooms are like nothingyou've ever seen, or smelled.

693
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:32,209
- Cassie, I'm afraid it's dead.

694
00:43:32,209 --> 00:43:34,612
- With love and a little water,

695
00:43:34,612 --> 00:43:36,847

00:57:35,084 --> 00:57:37,554
- You can't leave Grey House!

872
00:57:42,692 --> 00:57:44,828
- I have to.

873
00:57:44,828 --> 00:57:46,963
I've been living here

874
00:57:46,963 --> 00:57:49,666
on borrowed time -some might even say stolen.

875
00:57:51,868 --> 00:57:55,004
So it'll have to be my lastnight here at Grey House.

876
00:57:57,974 --> 00:58:01,478
- Well, it's...It's just for the time being.

877
00:58:01,478 --> 00:58:04,414
- But what about yourBicentennial garden party?

878
00:58:04,414 --> 00:58:07,417
- Well, it's notmy garden anymore.

879
00:58:07,417 --> 00:58:10,753
- Just use your magic tomake it like it was before.

880
00:58:10,753 --> 00:58:13,690
- It's just a house.

881
00:58:13,690 --> 00:58:15,792
Each one of youmeans more to me

882
00:58:15,792 --> 00:58:17,961
than any 10 houses.

883
00:58:17,961 --> 00:58:21,531
- But Grey Houseis your house.

884
00:58:21,531 --> 00:58:25,501
- Well, I'm not goingto discuss this anymore on an empty stomach.

885
00:58:25,501 --> 00:58:27,337
Let's go have dinner.

886
00:58:38,481 --> 00:58:41,417
- Grey House won't be the samewithout you, Cassie.

887
00:58:41,417 --> 00:58:44,554
- Cheer up, all of you.I'm not out of here yet.

888
00:58:44,554 --> 00:58:46,256
- Yeah, but...

889
00:58:46,256 --> 00:58:49,893
the magic's gone - already.

890
00:58:49,893 --> 00:58:51,895
I can feel it.

891
00:58:51,895 --> 00:58:53,830
- What do you mean?

892
00:58:53,830 --> 00:58:56,332
- I know what Brandon'stalking about.

893
00:58:56,332 --> 00:58:59,569
There's a chill in here.I haven't felt it before.

894
00:59:01,504 --> 00:59:04,040
- Yeah. I guess we'reall feeling pretty low.

895
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,377
- But the magichasn't gone away.

896
00:59:07,377 --> 00:59:09,345
It's still working.

897
00:59:09,345 --> 00:59:11,381
- You still believe?

898
00:59:11,381 --> 00:59:13,983
- I asked you for helpwith Jess, remember?

899
00:59:13,983 --> 00:59:16,853
Because I thoughtshe was lazy.

900
00:59:16,853 --> 00:59:18,821
But she toldme something

901
00:59:18,821 --> 00:59:20,857
she's nevertold anybody.

902
00:59:20,857 --> 00:59:23,760
Reading is really,really hard for her.

903
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,995
But now she'sgetting help.

904
00:59:25,995 --> 00:59:28,932
Special classesafter school.

905
00:59:28,932 --> 00:59:32,035
And you know what?The report is going to be great.

906
00:59:32,035 --> 00:59:34,671
I'm doing the reading,

907
00:59:34,671 --> 00:59:37,206
and she's doing thesebeautiful illustrations.

908
00:59:39,075 --> 00:59:41,945
- Yeah, but you're stilldoing a ton of work.

909
00:59:41,945 --> 00:59:44,714
- But I don't mind.

910
00:59:44,714 --> 00:59:47,450
Because Jess toldme her secret,

911
00:59:47,450 --> 00:59:49,652
and I helped her.

912
00:59:49,652 --> 00:59:51,788
That's the real magic, isn't it?

913
00:59:51,788 --> 00:59:53,823
Helping other people.

914
00:59:53,823 --> 00:59:57,727
- Sometimes you haveto dig a little deeper.

915
01:00:01,364 --> 01:00:03,967
- "Trust in the truthwill show itself."

916
01:00:07,003 --> 01:00:09,739
- Lori's absolutely right.

917
01:00:09,739 --> 01:00:12,875
We've all got plentyto be cheerful about.

918
01:00:16,512 --> 01:00:18,448
[All laughing]

919
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:28,424
[Sighing]- Hmm. I loved the pie.

920
01:00:28,424 --> 01:00:30,727
- Oh, it was good, huh?

921
01:00:30,727 --> 01:00:32,762
Shh.

922
01:00:36,065 --> 01:00:37,467
- What is it?

923
01:00:39,068 --> 01:00:40,770
- If you're very, very quiet...

924
01:00:43,006 --> 01:00:45,174
Do you hear that?

925
01:00:45,174 --> 01:00:48,611
- What? The rain?

926
01:00:48,611 --> 01:00:52,448
- No, listen carefully.You can hear the garden grow.

927
01:00:54,550 --> 01:00:56,753
- But it's November.

928
01:00:56,753 --> 01:00:59,122
I thought the growingseason was over.

929
01:00:59,122 --> 01:01:02,392
- Always growing.Always changing.

930
01:01:02,392 --> 01:01:04,327
[Short laugh]

931
01:01:07,096 --> 01:01:10,533
- George, do you mindwalking the kids home?

932
01:01:10,533 --> 01:01:12,735
I just, uh...

933
01:01:12,735 --> 01:01:16,072
I'd like to talk to Cassie,just the two of us, alone.

934
01:01:16,072 --> 01:01:18,174
- Sure thing.

935
01:01:24,047 --> 01:01:27,083
- Cassie, thanks but...

936
01:01:27,083 --> 01:01:29,018
here.

937
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,263
- There. Maybe theimage wasn't clear.

938
01:01:40,263 --> 01:01:43,099
- But...- I'll make you a deal.

939
01:01:43,099 --> 01:01:46,836
Don't give up on that mirror andI won't give up on Grey House.

940
01:01:46,836 --> 01:01:50,506
- Okay.[Cassie laughing]- We've got rain falling.

941
01:01:50,506 --> 01:01:53,810
- Yes, it's a bit romantic,isn't it, George?

942
01:01:53,810 --> 01:01:57,013
- I'm a little too oldfor that kind of thing.

943
01:01:57,013 --> 01:02:00,349
- Some of the best thingsbloom late in the season.

944
01:02:02,051 --> 01:02:05,855
You know, I almost forgot,would you mind stopping by

945
01:02:05,855 --> 01:02:09,992
the nursery early in the morningand picking up some night-flowering jasmine for me?

946
01:02:09,992 --> 01:02:13,196
- Sure thing.- Where are you sleepingtomorrow night, Cassie?

947
01:02:13,196 --> 01:02:15,431
- Well, there's a small placeover at my shop.

948
01:02:15,431 --> 01:02:17,633
- You could staywith me in my room.

949
01:02:17,633 --> 01:02:21,604
- Come here.- Good night.- Good night.

950
01:02:21,604 --> 01:02:25,074
- Let's go, kids.- Thank you.- Good night.

951
01:02:26,609 --> 01:02:28,277
[Cassie sighing]

952
01:02:33,783 --> 01:02:36,619
- So what did the lawyer sayabout Nick's documents?

953
01:02:38,488 --> 01:02:40,923
- She said there'snothing she can do.

954
01:02:40,923 --> 01:02:43,126
But we can.

955
01:02:45,628 --> 01:02:49,165
- Jake, I didn't want to saythis in front of the kids but...

956
01:02:49,165 --> 01:02:51,200
- But what?

957
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,236
- When I was packing,

958
01:02:53,236 --> 01:02:55,638
I noticed that my diaryhad been tampered with.

959
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,575
- Okay.

960
01:02:59,575 --> 01:03:01,911
Well, we can sendit in for prints.

961
01:03:01,911 --> 01:03:04,247
And do me a favor - the nexttime he has a cup of tea,

962
01:03:04,247 --> 01:03:07,083
keep the cup and we'llsend that in for prints as well.

963
01:03:07,083 --> 01:03:09,619
- I'll put some mugwortunder my pillow tonight.

964
01:03:09,619 --> 01:03:11,621
- Good.

965
01:03:11,621 --> 01:03:13,489
Why?

966
01:03:13,489 --> 01:03:17,126
- Dreams, Jake. I can goanywhere in my dreams.

967
01:03:18,761 --> 01:03:21,297
- You know, betweenyour amazing intuition...

968
01:03:21,297 --> 01:03:23,099
- And yourforensic genius.

969
01:03:23,099 --> 01:03:25,568
- See, how did you knowI was going to say that?

970
01:03:25,568 --> 01:03:27,236
[Laughing]

971
01:03:27,236 --> 01:03:30,206
It's all goingto work out.

972
01:03:30,206 --> 01:03:34,110
[Cassie sighing]- You know, this is notjust about losing the house.

973
01:03:35,745 --> 01:03:38,347
I was so honored to bethe Grey Lady's great-great-

974
01:03:38,347 --> 01:03:41,484
great-great... something.[Laughing]

975
01:03:41,484 --> 01:03:44,420
And now everyone's sayingshe's a swindler.

976
01:03:46,856 --> 01:03:49,325
- Well, you'restill great, Cassie.

977
01:03:49,325 --> 01:03:52,061
And she wasn't a thief.

978
01:03:52,061 --> 01:03:54,163
- How do you know that?

979
01:03:54,163 --> 01:03:57,099
- Because good cups haveintuition of their own.

980
01:03:58,634 --> 01:04:00,503
I love you.

981
01:04:03,105 --> 01:04:05,875
- Hmm. It really isa truth plant, huh?

982
01:04:05,875 --> 01:04:07,844
I love you too.

983
01:04:09,846 --> 01:04:12,481
- And I have to go.- Okay.

984
01:04:15,318 --> 01:04:17,286
- Good night.- Hmm...

985
01:04:17,286 --> 01:04:19,455
Good night, Jake.

986
01:04:19,455 --> 01:04:21,390
Good night, Nick.

987
01:04:35,838 --> 01:04:37,840
- You're still here?

988
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,243
- I was just about to leave.

989
01:04:41,911 --> 01:04:43,579
I'll be back, though.

990
01:04:45,815 --> 01:04:47,750
To remove all the thingsthat are going with me.

991
01:04:49,885 --> 01:04:52,188
I'm leaving the plants.

992
01:04:52,188 --> 01:04:55,458
- Oh, please take them. I'mnot very good with plants.

993
01:04:55,458 --> 01:04:59,395
- Sure, you are.- No. Really. I wouldn'tknow what to do with them.

994
01:04:59,395 --> 01:05:01,864
- But Nick, you just cultivatethem the way you've cultivated

995
01:05:01,864 --> 01:05:03,733
so many friendshipshere in Middleton.

996
01:05:10,573 --> 01:05:13,909
- Cassie, I hope there areno hard feelings about this.

997
01:05:15,578 --> 01:05:19,282
- Hard feelings.What a phrase.

998
01:05:19,282 --> 01:05:21,484
Feelings are tender.The moment they become hard,

999
01:05:21,484 --> 01:05:23,886
you're not reallyfeeling anymore.

1000
01:05:36,365 --> 01:05:38,734
- [Lori]: Brandon, we'regoing to be late for school!

1001
01:05:38,734 --> 01:05:40,369
- Coming.

1002
01:05:45,174 --> 01:05:46,842
Hi, Dad.

1003
01:05:46,842 --> 01:05:48,611
- Hi.

1004
01:05:48,611 --> 01:05:51,814
- I was just, uh, checkingto see if I should shave.

1005
01:05:51,814 --> 01:05:53,449
- Ah!

1006
01:05:55,551 --> 01:05:58,654
- So, uh, you probablywant to know where I'mgoing tonight, right?

1007
01:05:58,654 --> 01:06:00,456
- No.

1008
01:06:00,456 --> 01:06:02,425
I trust you.

1009
01:06:02,425 --> 01:06:04,560
- Really?- Really.

1010
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,595
- Since when?

1011
01:06:06,595 --> 01:06:08,597
- Since a friendof mine helped me

1012
01:06:08,597 --> 01:06:10,900
see myself alittle differently.

1013
01:06:10,900 --> 01:06:13,669
Come on downfor breakfast.

1014
01:06:24,780 --> 01:06:27,249
- Oh, Nick! Yoo-hoo!

1015
01:06:27,249 --> 01:06:29,285
Yoo-hoo! Hello!

1016
01:06:29,285 --> 01:06:33,289
I left you several messagesregarding the Bicentennial.

1017
01:06:33,289 --> 01:06:35,424
- Yes, I was meaningto get back to you.

1018
01:06:35,424 --> 01:06:38,461
- Oh well, we can discuss itat this morning's meeting.- About that--

1019
01:06:38,461 --> 01:06:42,331
- I was thinking you coulddress up as your ancestor,Sea Captain Charles Hamblin.

1020
01:06:42,331 --> 01:06:44,767
Naval waistcoat.Powdered wig.

1021
01:06:44,767 --> 01:06:46,969
Oh, listen to me.

1022
01:06:46,969 --> 01:06:49,839
I imagine you're swimming inideas for the Bicentennialgarden party.

1023
01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:51,874
And as the new ownerof Grey House,

1024
01:06:51,874 --> 01:06:54,043
I suspect you'll be settinga very different tone

1025
01:06:54,043 --> 01:06:56,178
than Ms. Nightingale did.

1026
01:06:56,178 --> 01:06:59,849
Something tasteful and worldly,as opposed to otherworldly -

1027
01:06:59,849 --> 01:07:03,219
if you know what I mean.- Well, Martha, this iswhere we go our separate ways.

1028
01:07:03,219 --> 01:07:05,187
- Oh, but the early birdBicentennial meeting?

1029
01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:08,758
- Yes, unfortunately,other business drawsme away this morning.

1030
01:07:08,758 --> 01:07:11,594
- Other business? Idon't mean to pry but--

1031
01:07:11,594 --> 01:07:13,996
- Then don't.

1032
01:07:21,937 --> 01:07:23,339
- Oh my...

1033
01:07:25,274 --> 01:07:26,742
- George?

1034
01:07:28,411 --> 01:07:31,213
- Gwen. Let me help youwith that horse manure.

1035
01:07:31,213 --> 01:07:33,916
- It's enriched topsoil.

1036
01:07:33,916 --> 01:07:36,385
- Horse manure.

1037
01:07:38,254 --> 01:07:41,323
I'll bet you think I'm stillspreading it around, don't you?

1038
01:07:41,323 --> 01:07:43,692
- I have noticedthat the real gardeners

1039
01:07:43,692 --> 01:07:46,061
are the ones down herewhen the store opens.

1040
01:07:47,630 --> 01:07:49,832
- Mary and I werealways up at dawn.

1041
01:07:49,832 --> 01:07:53,035
She used to say, "The earlybird catches the worm,

1042
01:07:53,035 --> 01:07:55,571
while the grub beetle,or the whitefly..."

1043
01:07:55,571 --> 01:07:59,542
- She was an avid gardener?- Avid? She was rabid.

1044
01:07:59,542 --> 01:08:02,545
Pests used to jump off theleaves just to look at her.

1045
01:08:02,545 --> 01:08:06,148
- How's Lori?- Oh, she couldn't be better.

1046
01:08:06,148 --> 01:08:08,417
- The two of youseem very close.

1047
01:08:08,417 --> 01:08:10,186
- I guess we are.

1048
01:08:10,186 --> 01:08:12,755
Sometimes I think it's easierto talk to your grandpa

1049
01:08:12,755 --> 01:08:14,790
than to your own parent.

1050
01:08:14,790 --> 01:08:18,494
- You listen to her. Peopledon't do that so much anymore.

1051
01:08:18,494 --> 01:08:21,263
Really listen to children.- Do you have grandchildren?

1052
01:08:21,263 --> 01:08:23,365
- Two adorable twin boys.

1053
01:08:23,365 --> 01:08:26,135
But they live so far away,out on the west coast.

1054
01:08:26,135 --> 01:08:29,839
Those two used to playin my garden together.

1055
01:08:29,839 --> 01:08:32,708
They used to pickall my berries.[Laughing]

1056
01:08:32,708 --> 01:08:35,311

1058
01:08:37,413 --> 01:08:39,748
- It's nice runninginto you, George.

1059
01:08:39,748 --> 01:08:43,319
- Gwen, Cassiesent me here to...

1060
01:08:43,319 --> 01:08:45,321
pick up a plant.

1061
01:08:46,922 --> 01:08:48,891
[Laughing]

1062
01:08:48,891 --> 01:08:50,826
- What's so funny?

1063
01:08:50,826 --> 01:08:52,828
- Cassie.

1064
01:08:52,828 --> 01:08:55,531
She's quite a lady.

1065
01:08:55,531 --> 01:08:59,101
She's probablyexpecting me, but uh...

1066
01:08:59,101 --> 01:09:01,237
I have a feelingshe wouldn't mind

1067
01:09:01,237 --> 01:09:03,472
if I asked you outfor a cup of coffee.

1068
01:09:05,107 --> 01:09:08,444
Would you join me?- Sure.

1069
01:09:08,444 --> 01:09:10,813
- Good.

1070
01:09:22,124 --> 01:09:24,426
- I've got it!- What?

1071
01:09:24,426 --> 01:09:27,830
- The big event we needfor our history report.

1072
01:09:27,830 --> 01:09:30,132
The blizzard of 1816.

1073
01:09:30,132 --> 01:09:33,702
- Lori, that's it! That's howthis thing saved his life.

1074
01:09:33,702 --> 01:09:36,939
He had a vegetable garden.- Without the garden,

1075
01:09:36,939 --> 01:09:39,508
he would have died ofstarvation that winter.

1076
01:09:39,508 --> 01:09:42,978
- See if you can findany more books aboutthe weather back then.

1077
01:09:42,978 --> 01:09:43,979
- Okay.

1078
01:09:52,621 --> 01:09:54,056
- Find anything?

1079
01:09:55,858 --> 01:09:57,459
- Hmm, no.

1080
01:10:09,905 --> 01:10:11,874
- Lori, what are you doing?

1081
01:10:11,874 --> 01:10:14,476
- Just digging a little deeper.

1082
01:10:26,989 --> 01:10:30,693
This is amazing!- What is it?

1083
01:10:30,693 --> 01:10:33,395
- It's a book of storiesby Elizabeth Merriwick.

1084
01:10:33,395 --> 01:10:36,265
- Who?- The Grey Lady.

1085
01:10:36,265 --> 01:10:38,534
- Oh!

1086
01:10:43,572 --> 01:10:46,008
- "For all thechildren of Middleton,

1087
01:10:46,008 --> 01:10:48,377
from your friend,The Grey Lady."

[Background chatter]

1089
01:11:06,695 --> 01:11:10,232
- He joined the Bicentennialcommittee to gain access

1090
01:11:10,232 --> 01:11:12,268
to the HistoricalSociety Library.

1091
01:11:12,268 --> 01:11:15,237
He used old land recordsto fake his documents.

1092
01:11:15,237 --> 01:11:18,207
- You're sure they're fake?- I had a hunch.

1093
01:11:18,207 --> 01:11:20,943
So I sent thedocuments to a lab.

1094
01:11:20,943 --> 01:11:23,646
Do you know why Nick wasasking about your taxes?

1095
01:11:23,646 --> 01:11:26,949
- Mm-hmm.- He wanted to know the totalcost to take over your property.

1096
01:11:26,949 --> 01:11:29,418
Things are adding up.

1097
01:11:29,418 --> 01:11:32,788
- Yeah, but will it be enough,and in time to stop this?

1098
01:11:32,788 --> 01:11:34,823
- Selling Grey House.

1099
01:11:36,759 --> 01:11:39,228
I guess he wasn't so proudof his legacy after all.

1100
01:11:39,228 --> 01:11:41,563
- Yeah, and he claimedto love Middleton.

1101
01:11:41,563 --> 01:11:46,068
- I've been investigating somerecent real estate fraud. Allthe cases used the same method.

1102
01:11:46,068 --> 01:11:50,172
- What method?- The suspect would show upwith a prior chain of title,

1103
01:11:50,172 --> 01:11:53,008
take over the deed for nextto nothing - sound familiar?

1104
01:11:53,008 --> 01:11:55,944
Yeah, and then heturns around and sells

1105
01:11:55,944 --> 01:11:57,913
the propertyto developers.

1106
01:11:57,913 --> 01:11:59,648
- Develop Grey House?Into what?

1107
01:11:59,648 --> 01:12:03,319
- Well, a farmhousewas knocked down tomake room for a strip mall.

1108
01:12:03,319 --> 01:12:05,554
It won't happen, Cassie.

1109
01:12:05,554 --> 01:12:08,090
We won't let him sell.I'll get an injunction.

1110
01:12:08,090 --> 01:12:10,526
- It's hard enough to think oflosing your home, the thought--

1111
01:12:10,526 --> 01:12:14,430
- Listen, no matter whathappens, you have a home.

1112
01:12:14,430 --> 01:12:18,734
With me, and Loriand Brandon and George.

1113
01:12:18,734 --> 01:12:21,837
My home. It couldbe your home too.

1114
01:12:21,837 --> 01:12:25,341
- Dad!- Hi.

1115
01:12:28,577 --> 01:12:30,946
- We made a big discoveryat the library!

1116
01:12:35,417 --> 01:12:38,721
- Jake, it's a book by ElizabethMerriwick, the Grey Lady.

1117
01:12:38,721 --> 01:12:40,823
- There's lots of storiesabout her sea captain.

1118
01:12:43,325 --> 01:12:46,628
- It looks like it's allabout Charles Hamblin.

1119
01:12:46,628 --> 01:12:50,232
- There might be somethingin there that contradictsNick's claim to Grey House.

1120
01:12:52,835 --> 01:12:56,105
- It contradicts everything.- How's that?

1121
01:12:56,105 --> 01:12:59,908
- Well, the stories in hereabout the sea captain arejust that - stories.

1122
01:12:59,908 --> 01:13:02,311
It's a work of fiction.

1123
01:13:09,618 --> 01:13:11,153
Good job.

1124
01:13:47,856 --> 01:13:49,958
- Mr. Chasen.

1125
01:13:51,627 --> 01:13:53,395
- Who gave you the right?

1126
01:13:53,395 --> 01:13:55,597
- Maybe I should readyou your rights.

1127
01:13:55,597 --> 01:13:58,967
- The documents aboutyour claim to Grey Houseare forgeries, aren't they?

1128
01:13:58,967 --> 01:14:01,837
- Of course not.- They look betterthan the real thing.

1129
01:14:01,837 --> 01:14:03,906
- Your chain of title hada few rusty links.

1130
01:14:06,074 --> 01:14:08,410
- Could we discussthis in the parlor?

1131
01:14:10,078 --> 01:14:12,581
It's gettinga little hot in here.

1132
01:14:19,588 --> 01:14:22,024
Perhaps you should be

1133
01:14:22,024 --> 01:14:24,760
making these accusationsthrough an attorney.

1134
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,563
- I wanted to give you a chanceto, uh, speak for yourself.

1135
01:14:27,563 --> 01:14:29,531
- You're too kind.

1136

1138
01:14:38,207 --> 01:14:39,908
Perfect.

1139
01:14:39,908 --> 01:14:43,712
- I'll be blunt. Show meyour evidence or hit the road.

1140
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:46,782
- Exhibit A.

1141
01:14:49,384 --> 01:14:50,919
- So?

1142
01:14:50,919 --> 01:14:53,055
- The tales of Captain Hamblin.

1143
01:14:53,055 --> 01:14:55,891
- Lots of people write storiesabout people they know.

1144
01:14:55,891 --> 01:14:59,161
- They're fiction.- Means your claimto Grey House is fiction.

1145
01:15:01,129 --> 01:15:04,066
Let me tell you a story, Nick.

1146
01:15:04,066 --> 01:15:07,870

Now it took an expertforensic chemist, butguess what he found?

1150
01:15:19,915 --> 01:15:23,852
- I have no idea.- Superstitious, Nick?

1151
01:15:23,852 --> 01:15:26,154
- I think you should both leave.- Before you call the police?

1152
01:15:26,154 --> 01:15:28,790
You ever heard of a guynamed Charlie Higgins?

1153
01:15:28,790 --> 01:15:31,960
- Never.- Tom Brack?

1154
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,097
- Nope.- I think youhave. Because it's you.

all over the state usingdifferent names.

1158

but you can't change yourfingerprints, Nick.

1160
01:15:51,914 --> 01:15:53,749
The truth, Nick.

1161
