Original subtitles

Colton Saunier was the first winemaker

to set up shop in Macklin, Pennsylvania in the 1960s.

His winery, Chaberton Estates,

is known for their award-winnig Cabernet, and Catawba Rose.

It has remained a family business,

but it did open up a whole new world for Macklin.

Larger vineyards sprang up, tourists arrived by the busloads.

Twelve months ago, on October 27th at 5:00 PM,

Colton Saunier entered the vat room at Chaberton Estate.

He didn't have to do manual labour anymore,

but he liked it.

He said it helped him think.

That night, he decided to clean vat number 30.

His body was found inside the vat only hours later.

The cause of death was C02 poisoning.

After an investigation it was ruled an accident,

but there are questions that remain.

Could an experienced winemaker like Colton Saunier

forget the basic precautions?

Was it really an accident?

I'm Alex McPherson, and this is "Recovered."

Hey, Chuck.

Hey.

Woah, what's going on here?

Oh, oh this.

Uh, it's the Matthews' family Beard-Off this month.

My dad's hard to beat, let me tell ya.

He just kinda...

So, for me...

Good luck.

Thank you.

- I hope you win. - Thanks.

Slow news day?

Ugh, yeah. But you know, Tina the Llama

could show up, at any time.

I think someone should stake out the fairgrounds.

Oh, I already sent Jennifer to get the scoop.

Good call.

Right?

Hey, so I hear you're off to Macklin.

I am, tomorrow morning. Eileen is already there.

Oh, well, you two have fun.

Taste lots of wine for me.

'Kay.

It's not gonna be all fun though,

'cause, you know, there is something suspicious going on.

Look at this.

Macklin has exploded over the last decade.

I mean, there have been winners, there have been some losers.

A lot to research, so... check it out.

Yeah, I will.

I don't wanna take your copy, but...

No, I printed it out for you.

You know, 'cause you-

Oh, well, thanks.

Hey.

Hey, Fireman Shawn.

Oh. Bye.

Hey.

Hey, Shawn, sorry. Am I late?

No, reservation's not till 7:30.

Oh, perfect.

Yeah.

Okay, well, Hearst is in charge.

Swell.

Yeah, always, yup.

You kids have fun.

Are she and Fireman Shawn, uh...

Pardon?

Say what?

Huh?

No.

What?

Should I check that features has anything for you?

Yeah.

That'd be great.

'Kay.

Thanks.

d

On today's tour of Macklin we show you all the downtown sites,

as well as the wineries.

Uncle Miles.

I, uh, got in today, and they told me that you're out of town.

What, are you on the lam?

Eileen called.

She said she wanted some help here in Macklin.

So you just pick up and go without thinking twice, huh?

Sometimes you remind me so much of your mom.

Well, I will take that as a compliment.

I hope.

I miss her.

So do I.

I'll be home in a few days.

Just... look before you leap, okay?

Oh, I see Eileen. I have to go.

Okay. Bye.

Alex, thank you for coming.

Yeah, of course, I mean, it's not a chore.

Look how beautiful this is.

Do we get to stay at Chaberton?

No, I got us a chic little BandB in the village.

We'll check you in later.

I just wanted you to come here first

so that you can meet everyone,

and... and take a tour of the property.

Okay, so tell me about the Sauniers.

Well, I originally met them because I come up here

on the wine tour every year.

I've gotten to know the whole family very well,

which is why I've always felt like there's something...

"off" with this accident.

Let me give you the skinny.

Colton, the patriarch, has two sons,

Jackson and Gil.

They run the business now.

Jackson has a new wife, Mary, and something's...

There's some subtext.

Well, I agree there is something going on.

Yes, and we are going to get to the bottom of it.

Okay, for this week, we've got city council meetings,

extreme couponing and Tina the Llama, of course.

If she shows up by Saturday,

we'll do a four-column quarter with photos.

Anything else? No?

All right, well, get copy to me for your regular features

by tomorrow.

Thanks, guys.

Hey, honey. What's up?

Dad, it's a workplace.

Right, sorry, Ms. Godfrey.

I wanted to see if I could take some time off this weekend.

For?

Hey, a boss would ask that.

It's an annual camping trip.

There's hiking and canoeing, the whole math club goes.

Mathletes on water.

Oh, that sounds... fun. Yeah, of course.

Permission granted.

That's from your boss,

because your father would definitely like to chaperone.

Adorable.

- Hey. - Hey.

Slow week?

Yeah.

Harrington has the most polite city council meetings

I have ever seen.

Yes.

Ahhh...

So, anything... uh, longer term you wanna tackle?

Well, I don't know, you know.

Alex left me some research on Macklin,

and I was flipping through it.

Come take a look at this.

This entire section of the state has changed hands

almost entirely in the last 25 years.

Its farmland has been bought up by corporate farms

or repurposed entirely.

We're just gonna kind of document it,

you know, see how it plays out.

Hey, chief.

Hey.

The numbers you asked for.

Oh, great, thank you.

Oh. Macklin.

Huh.

You know them?

Yeah, I have, uh, I have family there.

Oh.

Why don't you and Chuck go check the story out.

Hearst and I hold down the fort here.

Uh...

You up for a road trip?

Yeah. I can be ready in an hour.

Do you want...

Great.

I read on the website that the Chaberton Estates

won awards for their Catawba Ros� and their Cabernet.

Mmhmm.

That's pretty impressive for a family business.

They've completely changed the face of Macklin.

Now it's all large-scale vineyards,

tourists flock in by the busload.

Oh, okay. That's Jackson's daughter.

Caitlyn!

Look at you, hard at work and yet ever so stylish.

Thanks?

I have Alex McPherson.

Ms. McPherson?

Oh please, call me Alex.

Welcome to Chaberton Estates.

Uncle Gil said I should give you guys the tour?

Oh, yeah, we'd love that.

This way.

Excellent.

It's beautiful.

For years, this was one of the only wineries in the state.

We started with Cabernet and Merlot vines from France.

Oh, wouldn't that be the trip to take?

Vine collecting?

And Catawba vines, which are native.

Oh.

Grandpa Colton loved it here.

He didn't even take vacations, he was always here.

I'm really sorry for your loss.

Things have been... very weird since he passed.

Do you want to see the vat room?

Oh. Sure.

What on earth is that smell?

That's the Kelleher Farm,

the wind blows wrong and we get it in the face.

Wow.

I think Uncle Gil's ready, I can show you the way?

Oh.

Thanks.

Gladly.

d

Hey, that's the other way. All right?

That's ammonia.

Careful, or you're gonna take us all out.

All right?

Hey, Victor.

Gil.

Your brother wanted to meet before I flew out.

Yeah, yeah, I guess we should.

Let me just...

Eileen.

Gil. Thank you for seeing us.

And this must be...

Alex McPherson.

Ahh, so nice to meet you.

Now, this is Victor Lustig,

he's our lawyer and all-around advisor.

Nice to meet you.

A pleasure.

Eileen says that Alex can do a podcast on Dad's accident.

Well, what about the accident?

Well, I'm not exactly sure yet, but if you were there then

I'd love to talk to you about it.

Well, I'm leaving for Napa this afternoon,

but, uh, perhaps when I get back.

Uh, Gil, when you're ready to meet,

uh, let me know and I'll get Jackson.

Will do. Yeah.

So, how does it work?

Uh, Eileen says you can solve this.

Oh, well I don't know about solving it...

Uh, oh, she's been really modest.

She's had incredible results.

I have been a bit lucky, but, um,

I can't make any guarantees, you understand.

I'm just happy that you're gonna give it a try, so...

Can I, uh, take you through it?

Yes. Now, um, okay, uh,

I would like to record our conversation, if you don't mind.

Yeah, go ahead.

You know, I'm gonna go find Mary.

And we'll talk later?

Yes.

Okay, I'm ready.

So, this is where it happened.

Um...

I'm sorry.

It's still a little difficult.

Of course it is.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You know, I did some research about this kind of accident,

and it does seem to happen-

No.

- at wineries.

My dad was never that careless.

Look at this place. Hmm.

I mean, we just renovated two years ago.

This equipment's practically brand new,

and we tested everything after.

Nothing was broken.

Gil, do you have a theory of what happened?

Mary.

Jackson's wife.

Gil.

We need to look into the... Hi.

Alex McPherson, meet my brother, Jackson.

Um, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

She's Eileen's friend from "The Chronicle".

Ah.

Are you doing a... a story about the winery?

Well, I have an investigative podcast,

and I'm looking into what happened to your father.

Ah.

Would you excuse us a minute, Ms. McPherson?

Yes, of course.

What are you doing?

Why didn't you tell me about this?

Because you're never around, you don't answer your messages.

I'm taking care of it.

I don't answer my messages? I'm here all the time.

I called you five times last week.

I'm here, but what is this?

Listen, she's a friend of Eileen's,

she's gonna take care of it.

She's a reporter, and it doesn't matter...

She does a podcast.

That's not gonna make the winey look good.

Joint decisions, man. Joint decisions.

This is not.

Gil, uh... Am I getting the feeling that...

Don't worry. I can handle it.

Come on, I want to show you something.

So, listen, Gil.

I'm not exactly comfortable if your family is not on board.

I'm supposed to wait

for Jackson's permission to find out what happened?

Especially when it was his wife that...

Here's everything I've collected so far.

He finally gave me the files

from the Sheriff's investigation.

Is there something in this that made you suspect

it wasn't an accident?

Well, I've been suspicious since the day it happened.

Now, last week, I was going through Dad's papers

looking for his shares of the vineyard...

The shares?

Just some papers we can't locate.

And I found this.

Your father was leaving you the entire vineyard.

Jackson and I both had small shares already.

Twenty percent each, so Jackson still would've had 20 percent.

But it says here he could only sell them to you,

and you could choose the price.

It's not signed.

But it's dated October 28th.

That's the day we were supposed to have a family meeting.

Why do you think your father decided

to cut your brother out of the will?

Jackson may not know grapes,

but he's good at managing the business.

I think it had to do with Mary.

Dad was always convinced she was a gold digger,

and didn't want her to get her hands on the place.

Stupid thing is, I'd never cut Jackson out.

But if his wife saw this and thought it might happen...

Victor's ready for us.

Yeah, I'll be right there, Jackson.

Guess I'd better go calm the waters.

You can hang on to this stuff if you want,

but just keep it quiet for now, okay?

Sure.

Yeah. I think I'd better take this.

It's the only copy I have.

Do you mind if I just...

grab a photo of that real quick?

For my files.

Sure.

Um... Okay....

Right, uh... Great.

You and Eileen coming back for dinner later?

Sure.

We'd love to.

Okay...

I'm sorry, Mary, I thought you'd be happy.

This investigation was your idea.

Don't you want to know what happened?

We know what happened.

Colton got careless, it was a terrible accident.

Eileen.

Oh, Alex.

Hi.

This is Mary Saunier.

Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Your vineyard is beautiful.

Well, it certainly isn't mine, but thank you.

You got your tour?

We did.

Even the aromatic part.

Eileen!

Rancid, isn't it?

That's the Kelleher farm,

it's started to leech onto our vineyard.

Donna Kelleher is a menace, her endless lawsuits.

Victor and Jackson will get that all figured out.

Well, I should go get settled in.

No offence, Ms. McPherson.

I had no idea why you were coming

and I'm not at all sure it's a good idea.

This is not good publicity for us,

and it was very selfish and stubborn of Gil

to re-open these wounds.

Uh, I have another tour starting in five minutes.

Excuse me.

I told you. Subtext.

Hidden currents.

I... I didn't realize that the "hidden currents"

were that they don't want me here.

Don't worry about it.

People are always itching to tell their side of the story.

And Gil did ask, after I opened the door.

Though, I don't know why he was so eager.

Oh, I am.

He just found out that his father had drawn up a new will,

that Colton was going to leave everything to Gil.

I still can't get over the smel on those back acres.

Fighting with their neighbours about it?

Could be a motive.

For a lawsuit, sure.

But for murder?

Well, it's definitely worth checking out.

I don't know.

Do you think a stench like that

would be possible from farm waste?

Or is it something else?

I don't do manure.

Of course. Oh, thank you.

Yeah.

Wait... Let's see if...

Hi, boss.

Hey, Chuck, I have a stinky farm question for you.

Ah, all the good ones are. Shoot.

What kind of pollution do you think would cause a farm

to smell like, I don't know, like rotten eggs, maybe?

Rotten eggs that took a bath in fertilizer,

and then cheated on the fertilizer with some ammonia.

Ugh.

Well, that's some very nasty soil with low morals.

Uh, hard to say.

Could you get a sample to a horticulturist?

Oh yeah, that's a good idea.

I'll find one online.

Thank you, Chuck.

Yeah, anytime.

Welcome.

Like, now?

I'm here.

I... see that.

Hey.

Wow, what are you guys doing here?

Did you check in already?

You know, don't even answer that,

because I'm gonna make sure they put you into room number 7.

Come on, Chuck.

Oh, it's exquisite.

There's a view on both sides.

What, you didn't want to miss out on the wine?

No, of course not.

Field trip, you know?

I thought, might as well take a look at that Macklin story.

It's all good, Miles has got the fort back home.

Oh, I bet he does.

He sent you here, didn't he? To check up on me.

Oh please, I've got plenty of work to do.

Real reporting, actually.

You won't even see us.

Right, 'cause, you know,

you don't take up any room or anything.

Oh, can I organize the photos?

Sure, thanks Chuck.

Wow.

Old dusty files become the treasure map.

Especially in a cold case.

You never know what someone overlooked or,

you know, means something different months later.

Exactly.

Do we have names for any of these guys?

Those are the Sauniers.

Yeah.

And maybe that's Victor.

Does it say on the back?

Uh...

Yeah, Victor Lustig.

What else do you got?

Who's this guy on the left?

That guy... Andy Woods.

Andy Woods?

That's what it says the Sheriff listed as the only suspect

in Colton's death.

Says that he worked at the winery.

Ah, I remember, yeah.

He was this troubled kid that Colton took in

and then mentored.

I mean, Gil said he was a very talented vintner.

Wait a second.

It says here that three weeks before Colton died,

Andy Woods was caught writing cheques on the winery account.

Cheques made out to cash?

Rookie move. Of course he'd get caught.

Yeah, I mean, to turn on his own mentor out of nowhere?

It says that he was fired, but that he didn't go quietly.

He claims that he was framed and that these cheques

aren't even in his handwriting.

Sounds to me like we need to pay him a visit.

Yeah.

We need, like, tape or something.

Maybe we could pick some up on the way back from dinner.

Oh, dinner. I'm starved.

Oh.

Oh... I'll call Gil.

I'm sure he won't mind. If they come.

Good idea.

You can come.

You know what, it sounds like the family wasn't

really that happy to see anyone from "The Chronicle",

so... we'll be fine. You guys go.

So, nothing for Jackson and his family?

Like a small buyout over time.

Do you think Jackson and Mary know?

Gil isn't sure.

Yeah, but he did hide the will from Jackson

when he came into the office.

What was that?

C-c-could be hunters.

There's a service route.

Let's go. Come on.

I don't know.

There was a gunshot.

I heard a gunshot.

I can't see it.

Will.... Is that you?

Are you here?

Who's coming down the road?

I don't know, I can't see his chest moving.

He's not breathing, what do, what do I...

Send someone now!

All right Jackson, we're going to need to bag your hands

until we can test for gunshot residue, okay?

I... I fired a warning shot back by the fence line,

there were some hunters goofing around.

They must have been those hunters who did this,

so go find those hunters.

No. Send someone to go find those hunters!

I have deputies searching the area.

Are you arresting my husband?

Look, for now, we just need a statement, okay?

Okay, I'll see you at the station.

Jackson.

Come on.

Call Uncle Victor, he'll know what to do.

If there anything we can do?

Give us some privacy, please.

Of course.

Hey.

You guys are okay?

Yeah.

You didn't have to come.

Of course.

We were worried about you guys.

That poor family.

They've lost two people in 12 months.

You think they were connected?

All right, so Gil's shooting is the active case,

you work the cold case, Colton's death.

And I won't post any episodes of "Recovered"

until we know what we're dealing with here.

If we're lucky, the cold case will take us straight

to Gil's killer.

I texted Mary this morning, and they're still holding Jackson.

Can they do that? Without charges?

72 hours.

Someone watches procedurals.

I'll try and get a statement from the Sheriff,

but they're definitely going to be a no comment

until they press charges.

Didn't you have an appointment set up?

Virginia Macklin herself.

Who's that?

The matriarch of the family who founded the whole town.

And known card cheat.

Bridge.

Low stakes, but still.

Duly noted.

Listen, after that,

I'm going to need to get some real estate transaction data.

Are you on?

Yeah. Uh, my wife's cousin Wanda's sister-in-law.

She works at the City Hall here so no problem.

Is this whole state six degrees of Chuck?

No. Chuck's family maybe, not so much of Chuck.

Hey, are you free to do the soil patrol with me?

I need to get a sample for the horticulturist.

Mm, yeah, absolutely.

Awesome.

So, how long have Mary and Jackson been married?

About three years.

And Caitlyn is Mary's child or Jackson's?

Jackson's. He and his first wife adopted her.

Okay, well, this time I'm going to get

a legible picture of that will.

I'll get a sample of the stinky soil.

I'm gonna find Mary.

Back here, 30 minutes.

We need a deposit for the funeral home

and I can't figure out which account...

Oh!

Mary.

There is so much to do.

They won't let me see Jackson yet.

Well, when I saw him, he was all right,

but we do need a good criminal attorney.

Don't you worry about anything.

I'll take care of it.

Oh, hello Alex.

Thank you for coming this morning.

Yeah, no, I'm glad that you're glad to see me.

I do want to help.

Eileen and I talked, and she's right,

I can't do anything for Jackson right now.

But... if what happened to Gil is connected to Colton's death,

then anything you need, I'll try to help.

I'll go over the case again, take a fresh look at everything.

Oh, and you might want to take a harder look at Andy Wood.

I always thought the sheriff moved off him too fast.

It's for sale. Do you think Andy Wood's moved?

His truck's still here.

Let's see if he's home.

I'm surprised he didn't move after Colton fired him.

He could've been charged with theft.

That's a lot of mail.

I'm gonna leave him my card.

We can go?

Yeah.

Off to the Chaberton Estate.

May I?

Oh, yes, thank you.

Oh, no, thank you for taking time to meet with me.

Somebody raised you right.

My mother would be happy to hear that.

Now, Mrs. Macklin, when is it that your family settled here?

Oh, we founded this town, in 1804.

Wow.

And it was the Macklins, the Kellehers, the Davies.

It was around 12 families back then.

Mmhmm.

All of them tended their own farms.

There must be some families that still tend farms?

No. No, factory farms now.

No families.

Hmm.

So when is it that you noticed that changes began to occur?

Within the '60s, my father sold the first parcel of land,

which, uh, was the biggest mistake our family ever made.

I think, you know, if we hadn't gone down that road,

maybe things would be different now.

Hmm.

We sold a parcel of land to the Sauniers.

We... we thought it was worthless,

and yet it grew their grapes.

And look at them now.

And then look at Macklin.

Do you know you have to dodge tour buses if you want

to cross any street downtown?

Hmm.

Do you think that'll be enough for him to figure it out?

I don't know, but I literally had to army crawl through

like three sets of barbed wire to get this.

Wow.

Not really, but it felt like that a little bit.

I see.

Did you...

I just... I just had to hand dig a little bit actually.

It was okay, it was pretty easy.

Excuse me, are you Ryan?

You must be Alex.

Yeah, Alex McPherson, and this is Chuck Matthews.

We work together.

General assistant.

Step into my lab, let's see what's on the slab.

Uh...

Oh boy.

Do you have a soil sample?

Oh. Yeah, here you go.

It's from as close to the property line as I could get.

Where did this come from?

The Chaberton Vineyard?

Well, they shouldn't even be there.

Nothing should sit that close to the delicate biospheres

in Fernhead Creek.

Well, they seem like responsible growers.

It doesn't smell responsible.

Well, it's more likely from the neighbour down the hill.

Their drainage fed directly into the vineyard's

irrigation system, so...

It's still their responsibility to clean up.

I'm sorry.

Truth is, I won't be happy

until half this county goes back to being hardwood forest.

Uncultivated land.

What am I looking for?

Can you break down what's there and see if it's just

bad farming practice, or something more deliberate?

You suspect foul play?

Yes, I realize how that sounded the minute it left my mouth.

I just want to be thorough.

I can be thorough.

But you'll have to come back to see me again.

It's going to take 24 hours to get the full chemical rundown.

Yeah, we can come back.

Um... and you have my number.

I do.

'Kay.

I can come back... or not.

Look, I may not be a detective, but for some things,

you don't have to be.

Chuck!

Just sayin'.

No, no.

Hello?

It's me.

Why are we on the phone? A call leaves a trail.

I need to get paid.

You said you would get out of town.

That's what you said would happen.

I can't go without my money, and that's on you.

Or I start talking.

Are you sure you looked in the right spot?

Yeah, it is gone.

Right, but you think that someone shot Gil

just to get that?

Jacke of it.

Right, but did they know that the will even existed?

That I don't know.

Gil said that he found it a week ago

and that there was only one copy,

but maybe there's more.

Hmm.

Are there hard drives in there?

Right here.

Those are from a security camera from the night that Colton died.

Well, that should tell you a lot.

It says that they were wiped clean.

That does tell you a lot.

Okay, how was this ruled an accident?

Sheriff makes a note here that he has a meeting with Jackson,

November 3rd at 3:00 PM.

No notes on the meeting,

and then the file's closed at 3:30.

That's shady.

Mmhmm.

You know, we gotta get this up on the... board,

that we don't have.

Yeah, we need more space-

Yes.

you know? I wonder if this place has a basement?

Okay, so... play it out.

Colton went to clean a vat at 5:00 PM,

and Mary found his body at 7:30, when he was late for dinner.

And where was everyone during that time?

Okay, well, Gil was in the vineyard working.

Mmhmm.

And he has tons of witnesses.

Caitlyn says that she was studying alone.

Mmhmm.

And then there's Mary, whose whereabouts are unaccounted for,

and then Jackson had left the property at noon that day.

Chuck?

That is heavy.

What?

Stop it.

Where'd you get this?

Oh, Wanda's cousin's sister-in-law's husband's

a teacher.

I know how much you guys like your crimey boards,

but I have to have it back for his Wednesday Spanish class.

Oh, um, v�monos Thank you.

Let's get it in here. Here I'll help you.

That's amazing!

Oh, you got that?

Ya. Here. You just... put that over there.

Okay, here, I'll pull out what happened

after Colton's death?

Okay, well their main suspect, their only suspect,

was Andy Woods.

He says he was playing darts in a tournament in town that night,

but no one saw him until 8:30.

Hmm.

No alibi.

Exactly.

Um, 'kay, then there's this sheriff's report on Ryan Abbey.

He was arrested for trespassing the night that Colton died.

Oh, that's your Ryan.

What?

Your Ryan?

Yeah.

No, he... he's not.

He's a... Ryan Abbey's a horticulturalist,

and he gives quite an intense statement to the police.

Read that.

Huh.

"The Saunier family are defilers of the land

"who should be run out of town on a rail."

Your Ryan?

Okay, look, he's just examining the polluted soil,

the sample that Chuck got...

Oh.

Okay, well, I'll run a background check on him,

and you know, everybody here,

just to make sure we got everything up to speed.

'Kay.

Hard drives? What do we do with these?

Oh, I don't even know why Gil kept those.

They're blank now.

Not to Owen.

I don't follow.

Sorry, uh, hard drives are never fully scrubbed clean.

Owen is a friend of mine, he's a tech wizard,

works with law enforcement sometimes.

He could probably restore those.

That is amazing.

Caitlyn?

She's Jackson's adopted daughter.

She doesn't have an alibi for either murder.

She was on the scene already when we found Gil's body.

She stands to lose as much as Jackson.

Maybe she's working with him?

You know, I think we should probably go with...

Ryan Abbey.

Uh, why?

I dunno, he just seems like a zealot

with a bit of an axe to grind.

Oh, what's that?

Owen says that he can take a look at the hard drives

if we can get them to him right away.

Well, where is he?

Pittsburgh.

Chuck.

Is that me? I feel like that's me.

That's you, I think.

You guys need anything else?

Well, I'm sure we will, but this is pretty important.

Thank you.

Great.

I'll text you the address right now, okay?

Copy that.

Great.

"Vat room, help!"

Yeah, yeah, could you uh, work this latch?

Really? That gets "help" with an exclamation mark?

What, are you saying you can't do it?

Ooh.

Good. Okay.

Okay.

Now, how could you close that latch

and the three vents manually,

before Colton knows what you're up to?

No, you can't.

Okay.

The other option is to override the computer's warning system

and have it automatically close them all at the same time.

Mmhmm, mmhmm.

Oh, I'm sorry, am I "it" today?

I feel like a lab rat.

Well, I tried, but it took me 20 minutes

and I had to look online.

Okay, let's just say that I could do it

in probably half that time.

Still wouldn't be fast enough.

Right.

Well, it has to be someone who knows the equipment

and who can move quickly, so... who does that rule out?

No one?

This person probably is the one

that also scrambled the security footage.

Hey... but there's a security camera facing Gil's office door,

and it would have picked up whoever went into Gil's office

after he died and took the new will.

Hmm.

You're welcome.

Well, I gotta go meet with the property developer,

catch up with you later.

Yeah.

You'll receive another intriguing text.

Oh, I hope so.

Can I help you?

Caitlyn.

Uh, I was just looking at some footage.

Sure.

Mary said we should do anything we can to help you.

I didn't want to bother any of you today.

How are you holding up?

I may be losing half my family this year, so...

not great.

Did you find what you needed?

Actually, I'm... I'm good.

Here, let me do it.

Which camera did you need?

Oh, I um, I got the right camera.

Uh... I was just wondering if I could zoom in.

Yeah. I... I need a copy of that.

Oh no, I... hit the wrong button.

Sorry, it's gone.

Well, I just found out that it's possible to retrieve

all the data from almost any hard drive,

so if I could have it, I can get it all cleaned up.

Sure.

I'm not sure we have a replacement though.

I noticed these earlier.

This one looks brand new.

It is.

Thank you.

Well, I hope Eileen is having better luck.

Is this a... wow.

Hmm?

Yeah.

Backstory...

Sharp shooting champion?

Football, volleyball... sh-

Wow!

"Flying Fists Sheriff Station?"

Oh, you're not going to want to miss this.

Oh really?

So, context?

Whose fists?

Well, Donna Kelleher's and someone in the Saunier's family.

And apparently gunshots were fired.

I'm just waiting here, I'm gonna ask the sheriff.

Where'd you pick up this local commentary?

Real estate developer I was talking to,

he said that the Kelleher's the last ones to hold out

in the county, so apparently the rest of the farms were

sold to Benson Holdings.

Who's Benson Holdings?

I don't know, but I'm going to dig around and find out...

Oh, Sheriff, I just wanted to...

Not now.

Jackson should be home right now, you know it.

Jackson's lawyer spoke to the DA and he said that the autopsy

showed that it was a long-range bullet that killed Gil,

maybe even from below.

Which couldn't possibly be Jackson.

Unless he worked with someone.

Mary, he failed the polygraph.

One that he should never have taken.

It was voluntary.

You can't just keep him here.

Well, they have another two days

before they have to file a charge.

We're still investigating, so I have a lot of work to do.

So, if you don't mind...

But, but wait, I... I... I have some things I want to leave

for my husband.

Just toiletries.

All right. Come on back and let's get 'em cleared.

Mary, I'll... I'll call you this evening.

Don't publish any of that.

Please.

We don't print incomplete stories.

But, we can help you if you want to help us.

Jackson and Gil were close.

I mean, the idea that Jackson would hurt Gil

is just ridiculous.

They were a good compliment to each other,

and the winery was a great success.

With your help.

I advised on uh, investments and long-term planning, yes.

You recruited Jackson to attend your college, right?

I did.

And when he invited me back to Chaberton,

well, it just felt like home.

It's been that way ever since.

But you became very close to Colton.

I did.

In fact, you handled all of his legal affairs,

including personal and business?

As far as I know, yes.

You helped him with his will?

Yes of... of course.

Recently?

Oh no, no, no, we did that years ago, and...

I'm sorry.

Um, I've gotta go, I've got... got a meeting.

Of course.

Thank you for your time.

You're welcome.

I don't know.

I get the feeling he didn't know anything about a new will.

No. Colton definitely used a different lawyer.

The question is, why?

Well, someone killed Colton to prevent that new will

from being signed.

It's because they wanted to make sure the original will

was in effect.

Jackson's family stood to lose everything.

I saw Mary on the security footage,

leaving Gil's office on the night he died.

So, she could've taken the new will.

When I asked Caitlyn to help me make a copy,

she "accidentally" deleted it.

I did get the hard drive,

do you think we could still get that to Owen?

Yes, I can try.

Oh, it's Ryan.

Your Ryan?

Yeah, he has a... pfft.

He has answers on the soil sample.

He says I can come by anytime.

Oh, great, yes, let's do that.

You do not have to come.

I am coming.

Chuck said he's intense,

and besides, I got a background check on him.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Any skeletons?

Yeah. Trust fund baby.

Family comes from big money.

So he's a rich guy trying to make the world

a better place, and that's a threat to me how?

I'm going.

Eye roll.

Oh, hi Ryan.

Ms. McPherson.

Yeah. And uh, this is...

Drew Godfrey. Also Herrington Chronicle.

You mind if I record again?

Please do.

So, tell me about the soil sample that you analyzed.

Well, it's saturated with leachate,

a bi-product of untreated animal waste.

So that means it's not intentional,

it's just bad animal husbandry.

Well, it's no accident it's going into the vineyard's

irrigation system.

Leachate is classified as a biohazard

and it's worse than ever.

Donna Kelleher is breaking the law,

and it's a good law.

So what's the penalty for creating a biohazard?

Could be time in jail, hundreds of thousands in fines,

and it still wouldn't be good enough for either of them.

Either of them?

Miss Kelleher or the Sauniers.

They squabbled about this for over a year now,

while the land keeps getting more and more poisoned.

They should all just go to jail.

At any rate, that's my report.

I'm available to give expert testimony.

Um, Ryan? Just one second.

Did you say that the soil is getting worse?

Does that mean that you have tested the vineyard soil before?

I have... taken a look.

That's what you were doing on the property

the day that Colton Saunier died.

This interview is over.

What a sweet, laid back guy.

Fireman Shawn should be worried.

Stop it.

No, I guess not, since you kind of nailed him on his whereabouts

for possible murder.

Yeah, I guess he won't want to date me now.

So I guess we'll go see Donna Kelleher?

Yeah. How'd you know?

Because... you.

Right.

Is this some Uncle Miles move,

you're just doing this to protect me?

Protect you?

I hope you're gonna have my back.

That must be the house there.

Huh.

Huh.

Wow.

How did that happen?

Oh. You know, the developer I talked to

said that she's got money from somewhere.

Turn around real slow.

You folks get lost?

No, Ma'am.

We... we were just... hoping to speak to you, Ms. Kelleher.

I don't talk to the press.

Get in your car and go.

Don't come back.

'Kay.

Got it.

How did she know we're press?

Good question.

She's very welcoming.

She stands her ground.

Yes, she does.

I respect that.

Well, I'm gonna go straight to the sheriff

and see what we can find out about Mrs. Kelleher.

Yeah.

Thank you for understanding.

I'm sure we can reschedule...

Yes, we have your number.

If you just uh, give me some dates.

Someone will get in touch with you for the refund.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank goodness Colton wasn't here to see this.

There'd be some way this was all my fault.

Well, no one can blame you for this, Mary.

Would you like some wine, Eileen?

It has to be five o'clock somewhere.

I have a special bottle of Ros� hidden away.

Ooh.

Oh, maybe Caitlyn can join us.

Uh, she's out.

The police have it.

Have what?

Jackson's gun.

I bought it for him last year, but the truth is,

he's never liked to shoot or hunt.

Um, I thought if he gave it a try,

it would give him and Gil something else to do together.

Well, it's nice that you wanted Jackson and Gil

to have more time.

All he ever wanted was peace in this house.

Help us get that for you, Mary.

Is there anything that you can think of?

No matter how small.

That'll help Jackson.

Can... you call Alex and ask her to come here?

Hey, Eileen, what's up?

I'm on my way.

Hey Miles, how's it going over there?

Better than where you are.

I was just served a legal paper enjoining you,

Alex, and any member or representative of "The Chronicle"

and/or the "Recovered" Podcast

from going near any member of the Saunier family.

What?

They can't stop us printing, bt this is clearly a warning shot.

You kids playing nice?

Yeah, well, I thought we were.

Look, I'll get to the bottom of it and I'll call you back.

Mmkay.

Oh, man.

Okay, Mary. Why don't you tell me what you remember

from the night that Colton die?

I lied to the sheriff.

I was in the vat room that day earlier than I said.

I saw someone sneak out the back.

I saw a shadow and I heard the door slam.

I followed outside uh, into the vineyard,

and then I saw the back door at the Kelleher farm slam,

like someone had just run in.

So why didn't you tell anyone about this then?

They already looked at me like I'd done it.

Gil flat out accused me and...

who would believe me that I saw a shadow

that might've been there?

I just thought it would look like I was trying

to throw suspicion off myself.

Do you remember any specifics, any details about the... shadow?

There might've been a hat.

Oh, this is Jackson's lawyer, um... Excuse me.

Hello?

Do you believe that? What is going on?

I don't know.

But I did find a few things out earlier.

What?

Let me show you, hold on.

Oh, Drew's here.

Uh, out front.

Hold that thought, I'll go get him.

Well, take the shortcut, go through the vat room.

Okay.

So if you take that little hallway there to the right.

Go there and then left.

Right and then left.

Yeah.

Hello?

Hi.

Uh, Drew Godfrey.

I... work with Alex.

I'm meeting her here.

I haven't seen her.

Oh. Do you mind if I look around?

Sure.

Thanks.

"Vat room help! Seriously!!!"

Three exclamation marks.

Alex?

Alex!

Alex.

Help!

Copy that.

Take a team, fan out, and search the property.

So who, uh, turned off the ammonia?

I did, right after I called for help,

and I shut the door.

But that's not enough.

Okay, well we'll seal the building for now,

but are you sure all of the workers got out?

Fortunately, everyone was gone for the day.

I just wanna check on her.

Is she conscious yet?

Just heard her cough.

Man, this could've been so much worse.

Oh, just... don't even say that.

Not yet, Miss.

No, take some slow, deep breaths.

That's why you need to take it slow.

No... We have to go find them.

Hey, hey. It's okay, it's okay. The sheriff is here, he's on it.

Just let it go. You'll tap out.

No, I'm fine.

We can just go right now...

Just, think.

Pretend that he's Fireman Shawn.

Would you do what he says?

Relax.

Do you have any hazmat?

What?

You know, suits, breathers?

You must be prepared.

In storage. Out back.

I'll show you.

Okay.

Looks tense.

Yeah.

Have they told the sheriff about the injunction.

Right. Injunction. We have to go...

No, I... I was just a little woozy, you know.

I mean, that was a lot of oxygen.

Okay, well, let's just leave that

to the expert to decide that.

How many fingers?

Four.

And we're in Macklin, Pennsylvania.

It says it right there.

He is a pain.

And she's back.

Thank you.

Hey!

What are you up to?

Nothing, officer.

Hands behind your back.

So tonight, we know that Caitlyn and Mary were on the property.

Right, and Ryan Abbey.

Don't forget the deputy found this charmer.

Right.

But Caitlyn and Andy Woods were together tonight at his house.

I saw them before I went to Chaberton.

Did she see you?

I don't know.

But she does seem to pop up

at all the right slash wrong moments, doesn't she?

Hey, you think this kid did it?

I'm not sure if she's a kid.

But if she's working with Andy,

I mean he certainly has a motive for revenge

against Colton and Gil.

Doesn't mean she would sign up

to hurt her family.

Here, I'll... I'll get that.

Oh, thank you.

So, who stands to inherit?

If Colton and Gil are dead, and Jackson is in jail?

Well, Mary or Caitlyn I'm guessing,

but it just depends on the will.

I think it's probably Mary.

You think?

Maybe she's working with Jackson.

I mean, they have the same reasons.

Plus, Mary's a sharpshooter.

Sorry, what?

Yeah, I did some poking around.

A sharpshooter?

Yes, and there are two guns missing

out of the gun case at their house.

Wha?... Wha...

Remember when I said

I had something really important to tell you?

But then, you know, he texted you,

you went out of the room, and then the ammonia...

Right.

And then ambulances, and now we're getting back to it.

Okay.

Well, there you go, missing guns.

Right, well, police would have Jackson's, right?

Well, they do.

Mary said they did.

But the question is, where's the second gun?

Hmm.

That is a very good question.

Hey.

So, success, we think, um.

Owen said they're gonna be blurry,

but he will be able to pull some images from those hard drives.

He's gonna email them to you as soon as he gets 'em.

Great.

Did I miss anything?

I feel like I missed something.

I'll... catch you up. Just grab a seat.

So what's next?

Well, hopefully Caitlyn or Mary will have more to tell me.

So, I'm gonna go by there first thing in the morning.

Alone.

I'm not sure that's a good idea,

with the injunction against everyone from The Chronicle.

Injunction?

Well, that doesn't mean me.

I'm still their friend.

Plus then I can look and see if Mary hid that rifle somewhere.

Rifle?

And tomorrow we should check in with the sheriff.

See if he has any leads on who poisoned me with ammonia.

Ammonia?

I could use a catch-up, guys.

Do you need something to eat?

'Cause I could use something to eat.

You know, we should all just get something to eat.

I think I'm gonna have to pass.

Uh, I'm gonna call it a night.

You feeling okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

You know what? I'm gonna stay here with you.

Okay.

I mean, we could go grab a beer,

I could catch you up if you wanted.

Yeah.

I think that's a good idea.

Are you sure?

Yep. Great idea.

Go, enjoy.

Oh, uh, but Chuck.

Why don't you plan on tomorrow, finding Andy Woods?

I mean, maybe he'll turn up in town,

but you could stake out his house, you know?

He's gonna have to show up there eventually and we need

to know what's going on with him and Caitlyn

before we, uh, talk to either one of them.

Yeah, sure.

It sounds a lot safer than what's been going on here.

That's for sure.

You all right?

Oh, hey, Eileen just texted.

Mary doesn't know anything about the injunction.

Oh, Jackson, we'll ask.

Yeah, the lawyer's not gonna let us ask him anything.

Right.

Uh, I need to try to get the lists

of Benson Holding officers,

but it's tough, you know, it's an LLC.

I bet they had to file workman's compensation with the state.

You know, you might not get all the names,

but you'd get the name of an assistant,

or address on file.

You know, we need to talk more.

You're welcome.

Oh.

Mr. Abbey.

How are the accommodations?

Jail is a badge of honour in my work.

Yeah.

Is sabotage?

All roads to the perfect place.

You could've killed Alex.

No. It wasn't me.

Then, what were you doing at the vineyard?

Monitoring the Kelleher's farm.

Trespassing. Spying.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

What... what do you do for a living again?...

When's your arraignment?

'Cause I want to make sure I'm in the front row.

Here.

Save the date.

Aw, you two are bonding.

You should invite him out to shoot pool.

Yeah.

More like throw darts.

Yeah.

Probably at 20 paces.

You have got to be kidding me.

What?

I searched for his full name everywhere.

Look.

Ryan Benson Abbey.

Benson Holdings.

Now, you don't know that.

Your Ryan is a fraud,

and he's the one who's buying up Macklin.

You are not supposed to jump to conclusions, remember?

Well, I'm jumping.

You're the one who always says that.

I know.

But I just, I feel it.

Oh, this one time.

This one time.

Good morning.

I'm sorry, are... are you related to Wanda's cousin?

Yeah.

I... I'm Leanne.

Do you know Wanda?

Her sister's husband, Chuck.

Chuck.

Chuck is the king of karaoke.

Oh.

Oh.

Our Christmas parties just got 40 percent more fun.

Leanne, listen.

Do you know where I would find Workman Comp Filings?

All local Department of Labour info

you'll find on the second floor.

Room 213.

Thanks.

And where would I find the public record on wills filed

in the county?

Oh, uh just behind me and around the corner.

Department of Records.

Thank you.

Race?

Race? Are you kidding me?

I'm still coughing on ammonia.

Go!

Hi, um, excuse me, I just have one more question.

If someone passed away last October,

what would be the reason that their will wasn't

in the records?

If there's some problem with the will

that can't be officially probated.

Thanks.

Mmhmm.

Hey.

Mailing address, place of business,

and a signature on the last page of the filings.

You're right.

What did you say?

Ryan's rich daddy is into real estate,

and they're interlopers here in Macklin.

Okay, but it could just be Ryan's dad, right?

I mean, maybe Ryan hates his dad,

and he's just trying to get revenge.

Or he's using his super green eco credibility as ground cover

for his pop's dirty business.

Maybe.

Oh, come on, phone.

Why don't we pick up where we left off?

Not, not yet.

Okay, uh... of course.

I heard you and Eileen talk about Colton's new will

the first day you were here.

It sounded like a nightmare for Jackson.

He would've been so hurt.

Well, Mary.

I saw you on the security footage

sneaking into Gil's office after he died.

Did you take the new will?

I, I didn't want anyone to find...

it's right... here.

Wait.

No, I... I... I know, I know I put it right here.

Who else knew it was there?

Nobody.

Well, we'll, we'll find it.

Look, Mary, look, stop. Please.

Just, maybe you could explain to me what happened

to the vineyard after Colton died.

Uh... The original will said that Gil and Jackson

split the winery,

but they can only sell their shares to each other,

or to their children.

Okay, well that seems straightforward.

So why isn't that will probated?

It's... stupid paperwork.

We're missing some of Colton's shares of Chaberton.

No one can find the original stock certificates.

Do you believe her?

She did seem genuinely panicked when she couldn't find it.

There's something going on with those shares.

Gil mentioned them too.

He said that's what he was looking for

when he found his father's new will.

Yeah, I mean, the bank that holds the mortgage

to my house also has the deed, so...

maybe their bank has the stock certificates?

Wouldn't they know that?

Here, I gotta take this. It's Uncle Miles.

Hey, Uncle Miles.

Staying out of trouble?

I am.

I'm at Chaberton right now, actually,

and no one here seems to know anything about the injunction.

Jim Crowley told me he got his marching orders

from a Victor Lustig.

'Kay.

How are things there?

Hi, Hearst.

Hope you're keeping everyone in check for me.

Yeah, he misses you.

Come home soon, okay?

Will do.

There we go, boy. Good boy.

"Legal shenanigans located."

Okay, not my best, but I knew you'd want to be a part of this.

My secretary Jennifer said you would be in here.

Can I help you?

We hope so.

I'm curious why you threatened The Chronicle and my podcast

with legal action.

Well, I was acting on behalf of the Saunier family.

Which part, exactly?

Mary knows nothing about it.

Jackson didn't ask you to shut us down, did he?

You decided.

I would never do something in the Saunier name on my own.

So, it was Caitlyn?

I'm sorry, it's really not for me to say anything at this time

and I was in the middle of my workday,

so if you wouldn't mind.

Right.

Thank you for your time, Victor.

"On the ropes." Do you know that expression?

We had him.

Yeah, he's their family lawyer,

and their friend who wasn't going to say anything else.

Besides, we know it had to be Caitlyn.

Well, I mean, she was the only one left.

Right.

And the night that Gil died,

she said "we should call Uncle Victor,

"he'll know what to do."

That's her instinct.

So, Eileen said that she hasn't been spending time

with Mary lately.

I think she's planning something with Andy Woods.

You have a lot to figure out.

Wha... What about you?

I'm doing a lot of work.

I actually just sent Kendall a form for Benson Holdings,

she's going to do some digging around online

and I'm gonna go to the address and do some digging myself.

Sounds like Kendall's doing a lot of work.

Kendall is doing a lot of work.

None of the Saunier family, except Gil,

had an alibi that could be verified for Colton's death.

Mary claimed that she saw someone running from the scene

and hiding in Kelleher's farm.

There is no confirmation of that.

Gil Saunier was convinced

that his sister-in-law Mary had killed his father.

But was that the logical conclusion?

Is there any evidence to suggest that Mary Saunier is...

only in it for the money?

We will continue to explore all these possibilities,

but given this enmeshed family,

it is hard to believe that the answer will come

from an outsider.

Gotcha.

d Andy come out,

and it doesn't even look like

they're going to let Ryan inside, like...

like it's definitely not friendly.

Yeah, and they don't look happy.

They knew each other, that was clear.

Definitely.

So, they had this big back and forth,

and then finally they all go inside.

Hmm.

Are they still there now?

No, no, Ryan left about 25 minutes after,

and then 15 minutes after that, Caitlyn went out the back way.

This is great.

Is it?

'Cause I was kind of going with ugly conspiracy to murder.

No.

The photos are great, Chuck.

Right.

Good work.

Did you want me to go back?

Make sure Andy doesn't leave before you can talk to him?

Yeah, maybe tomorrow morning.

But the bottom line is that Andy has decided to stick around,

for some reason.

Explains why Caitlyn hasn't been around.

Right.

Owen just messaged me.

He got images off the hard drives from Colton's death.

He's going to clean them up,

he's gonna send them in the morning.

Well that will help a lot.

Mary!

Shh.

Oh, hey, hey. It's okay.

It's so wrong.

At least we could post bail.

He was charged with murder.

They could've held him.

He's right.

At least I'm home.

You rest.

Tomorrow we start planning your defence.

Okay, Benson Holdings?

Applied for what?

Well, they put in a bid to build an assisted living complex

with for the state,

which I think means that they had

to divulge more information about their structure.

Did they fill out a 44-98-14-J?

Maybe?

'Cause that's what I can find here.

It has a list of the officers and board members.

Well, wait, can you get to it

without breaking a major hacking law?

Because I cannot afford bail.

It's info you can totally get in another two weeks

with a freedom of information request.

Or, you can open your email.

Great. Let's go with Plan B.

Done.

So, how's school?

Uh, good.

I got an A on the chemistry midterm.

Of course you did.

Any fun?

What?

Well, this is the carefree

kinda reckless time of your life, so...

Hey, wait, what about Mathletes on water?

Oh, it's raining too hard here. They'll reschedule.

Oh, okay.

I think I got it here.

Thank you, I will be home soon, all right?

Okay. Expose some bad guys, will you?

I will.

He is going to need a printer.

I'm gonna need a printer.

I need a printer!

I found a printer.

How thrilling for you.

Don't mock.

You're gonna want a copy of this, too.

Okay.

I bet I can't wait...

Oh. It's Eileen.

Jackson was charged with Gil's murder.

He's out on bail.

Ah... We should speak to him soon.

Yeah.

Okay, sorry, so what?

Oh, corporate structure for Benson Holdings.

Oh, right.

But don't we already know that Ryan Abbey's dad

is the president?

Just keep reading.

V. L. Macklin is the founder and chair.

Virginia Louise Macklin.

The card cheat?

The sweet old lady who was so sad

and resigned in the face of change.

Is buying up the entire town.

Maybe.

Sounds to me like she might be very passionate about her town.

Oh, come on. This whole thing is about money.

Well, you should give her a call.

Oh, I never would've thought of that.

Thank you, I'm going. Oh, great, thanks.

Always happy to help.

I'll meet you back at the basement.

So, if Virginia Macklin is behind it,

what does that mean?

Farmer Donna trashed the Chaberton Acreage,

got new equipment, lots of cash.

Maybe Virginia's driving down the price of the Saunier land.

Okay. So you're saying that you think Virginia Macklin

is in cahoots with Donna Kelleher.

Well, it is the second name she mentioned after all.

Kelleher family also founded the town.

They seem like a very odd couple.

Yes, they are.

Also, she said that she wasn't really that happy

with the Sauniers.

She thinks that the whole downfall of the town happened

when they rolled in and planted that vineyard.

Right.

Do you think that she could've...

I mean, that she would've, I don't know,

hired someone to kill them?

I can't see that.

But then again, I didn't suspect her of anything

in the first place.

Right.

What about Donna? Maybe she...

Oh, I am going to need to download some files.

Well, what is it?

Okay, Owen just sent me...

Footage from the security cameras.

Ah, there we go.

Wow, 'kay.

So that's where the control panel is,

back there, right?

Yeah. Can you see what he pushes?

No, but he's clearly, you know, opening the vents.

It's Colton, right?

He's the only one who went into the vat.

There he goes.

There's a ladder, why is it right in the way?

That's a little concerning.

Hello.

Wait, freeze it.

Ooh, yeah. No.

Just go back.

Do, do, do, do, do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah! Stop.

Good, there.

So, maybe that's... is that a hat he's wearing?

I don't know, can you...

Yeah, I think that's a hat with like a brim.

If you could just see past the ladder, there's...

Oh.

Hey, Chuck.

Hey, Alex. There's movement over here.

Andy and Caitlyn, they're loading things into his truck.

What?

I think they're going on the run.

Stop them.

And I'll call Eileen and we'll be on our way.

Okay.

Stop them?

He says he sees them trying to leave.

We gotta go.

What's the problem?

Oh no, I wish I knew.

Just conked out on me, dead.

I'll call for a tow truck, sorry,

it shouldn't take too long.

Well, we're kind of in a hurry.

I'll give you a jump.

Great, great.

Eileen, please.

Let us go.

We're both adults.

We want to be together.

Do your parents know?

Dad went ballistic.

He didn't think Andy was good enough.

Dad will never accept Andy.

Mary would.

She tried to run interference for us,

but Dad's too stubborn.

Must have been tough,

stuck between your boyfriend and your family.

It's impossible.

I have to go.

Where?

Where will you go?

Napa Valley.

Andy's a craftsman, he... we... should do what we love.

Love who we love.

It was getting desperate, man.

I even agreed to spy on Kelleher for Ryan Abbey,

just for a buck.

No one will hire me in this town.

Even the wineries who know how good I am.

But what will you kids live on, besides love?

Ryan finally paid Andy what he owed him for the house,

and some work Andy did.

Andy sold his house to Ryan Abbey.

Don't they know about the theft?

That wasn't my handwriting.

Look.

Here's the contract for the sale of my house.

I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but I mean...

have you thought about what this will do to your dad?

And your stepmom?

I'm not dying or anything.

Anyway, I... took care of Mary.

Both of them.

You have it, don't you?

You have the will that Mary took from Gil's office.

I finally got copies of those so-called "cheques."

Look at the handwriting.

It's close.

Yeah, yeah, but I'm telling you, that wasn't me.

Someone wanted me out of Chaberton,

and they made it happen.

Do you mind if we keep these samples of your handwriting

and get them checked out?

Yeah, yeah.

So that's how you were going to take care of them,

even though Mary shouldn't have taken it in the first place.

That move made her look so guilty.

If your parents are innocent,

that will can't hurt them, but it can give us some answers.

Hey.

Oh.

So, what's the story with the handwriting analysis test?

Well, they said it was close,

but the handwriting on the cheques was not Andy Wood's.

So he was set up. Why?

Uh, I guess whoever killed Colton wanted a patsy.

Because if it turned out they didn't believe

the accidental death story,

there he is, the perfect suspect.

Mmhmm. Look at this.

You got the will, did you find anything?

If there is a clue there, I haven't found it yet.

Well, if there's anyone who could find it, it's you.

All right, well, you got a lot of work to do,

so I'll let you get back to it.

Uh, yeah. Okay.

Thanks.

Really, no matter which will was in effect,

nothing Colton signed can be closed.

Everyone is stuck in limbo because Colton's stock,

his actual shares in the vineyard, are missing.

So who has them?

And what are they planning?

[footsteps o

Oh. Hey guys, sorry I'm late.

No Eileen, huh?

Hey.

I was up all night looking at this.

I can't even see straight.

No matter how many times I read it,

it still does not provide me with the information I need,

which is where are Colton's shares of the vineyard.

Well, can we help you with something, or?

No. Eat.

Maybe Hilliard can tell you.

Hilliard.

Right here, right here.

Wow. You got real hawk-eyes there, dontcha?

It's just 20-20. Just standard 20-20.

Hilliard Financials is a subsidiary of...

Benson Holdings?

Mrs. Macklin strikes again.

Your assistant is lovely.

Yes, she really is a great assistant.

Aww, thank you so much.

Hmm.

Now, Mrs. Macklin, would you mind

if I recorded your conversation?

It would just really help me with...

Oh no, of course.

Thank you.

Great. Thank you so much.

Oh, no, no. Leave that.

My cook is in the kitchen,

and I'm sure she can find you a lovely snack.

Oh, that's so... um...

I'll make myself scarce.

Hmm.

She's new.

Uh, first of all, I just want to say thank you again

for taking time, rs. Macklin.

I just wanted to go over some details for my story.

You mentioned previously that you thought Macklin

went off the rails in the '60s when your father sold land

to Colton Saunier.

Well, it certainly started the ball rolling downhill

for all of us.

I mean, I... I think.

But... You can't go back.

Must be tempting though, to want to go back

and write the wrongs of the past, the injustice.

You are a very dramatic young man.

Yes, I... I really do try to live in the present.

How do you find the present is treating you personally?

Oh, I... I'm comfortable enough.

I have a niece and nephews and grandchildren,

and they do... sing happy birthday to me.

Uh, your family lives in Macklin?

Your nephews?

Please, join us.

Thank you.

Um, I have, uh, three nephews.

Oh. That's nice. Do they visit?

Well, two live in Philadelphia,

and one is local but I don't see him nearly enough.

Well, that's a shame.

Oh, no, he's travelling all the time,

and he works very hard.

But you know, sometimes I think he overcompensates.

Like singlehandedly trying to build a family fortune,

and I say "what's the point of that?"

Now, a great niece or nephew,

that's a thing that would make me the happiest.

What does he do?

Lawyer.

Something to do with investment, uh...

Private banking.

I don't really follow it.

Mrs. Macklin, I'm so sorry.

I just remembered that I booked my boss on another appointment.

Oh. Oh, of course.

And it conflicts. I just didn't realize.

Oh no, no, of course.

I mean, don't let me keep you.

Thank you so much for your time. We really appreciate it.

You're very welcome. Thank you.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Of course. Thank you.

Bye bye.

Remember that photo we have on the board of Jackson and Gil

and Colton... and...

Victor.

Lustig.

V. L. Macklin.

He's been hiding in plain sight.

So what do you say?

Do you think we have enough to go to the sheriff yet?

We should go back to the winery and check the security footage.

Maybe there's something on the restored hard drives

that can link Victor to Colton's death.

Hi Auntie V. Is there a problem?

So where's the family?

Eileen said they have a court hearing,

so we're clear for a while.

So... The camera can totally see me from here.

Oh, but remember there was a ladder in the way.

And now you're in the way.

What are you doing here?

Taking care of the Sauniers, of course.

And I'll take those cell phones.

You shouldn't be here. At all.

You were warned.

You don't want to do this, Victor.

There are cameras in here.

Heh. Those old cameras?

You have no idea how easy they are to scramble.

How are you going to stage this one?

You should've left my aunt alone.

She knows nothing.

How's she gonna feel when she finds out

that you killed two people?

Well, they were her enemies before they were mine.

So you murdered them?

Is that Mary's gun?

Mmhmm.

And I'm just going to toss it in the brush

for the deputies to find.

Eileen? Chuck? Are you there?

You get all that?

Every word.

Uh, the... the sheriff is outside already.

Don't even think about it, Victor!

I'm taking your weapon.

I'm placing you under arrest for murder.

The sheriff is here to see the hard drives

from Colton's murder.

We weren't expecting you.

So thanks for popping by.

That felt good.

Thank you.

I'm glad I could help.

We could help.

Come back next year for the harvest.

Oh, you know I will.

I know you will.

Eileen.

Oh, Jackson.

Good luck, Mary.

Come on, Eileen, back to work.

Ah, yeah.

Bye!

Bye!

Victor Lustig Macklin was arrested

on two counts of murder.

For the deaths of Colton and Gil Saunier.

Donna Kelleher, who hid Victor after he fled the scene of

Colton's murder, was arrested for aiding and abetting.

Victor's payoff helped take care of the Kelleher farm

for the last year,

and she obliged him by polluting her neighbour's land.

Victor was hoping that it would drive down

the value of Chaberton, and he could buy it for a song.

Instead, it's the Kelleher farm that will likely be sold,

but not to Victor and his partner Daniel Abbey,

but to Daniel's son Ryan.

Maybe he'll use it to grow the forest of his dreams.

Victor had manipulated Colton for years.

He tricked him out of his shares of the vineyard

with a private banking scheme,

then all he had to do was get rid of Gil.

With the value of the property degraded,

and no one to run the vineyard,

Victor was convinced that Jackson would sell.

He could right his family's first worst mistake.

But instead, Jackson is going to keep Chaberton open,

and he's going to run it with the help of his wife,

his daughter, and a talented winemaker

who will start new traditions.

And now, on land that was once thought useless,

grow the perfect vines.

I'm Alex McPherson, and this is "Recovered".

We talked about this before,

but if we could just bring down these expenditure categories,

I think it would make a really big difference.

Yeah, well, we're going to have to upgrade some people.

Maybe do some promotions.

Right, but if we did it online,

you know, I mean- everyone could contribute and...

Okay, look at this.

Oh! Here we go.

One for me?

Oh yeah, of course, boss

Wow.

Thanks Chuck.

Hot off the presses.

Well done. Good job, everybody.

Alex, whenever you're ready.

Yeah, great.

It was a good field trip.

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

I mean, except for the ammonia poisoning,

the toxic waste, and the guns.

Hmm.

But you were right.

Victor was in it for the money.

Oh, I don't know.

I think Victor had already made his money.

I think it was family. It was personal.

So what happens if we each say that the other person was right?

I think the earth opens up and swallows us whole.

But I think we'll both survive.

Hey Hearst you ready? Come on, want to go?

You, thank you so much.

I could not have done that without you.

Come on.

Okay.
