All language subtitles for When calls the E09

Previously on When Calls the Heart...

You've got wheezing and a slight
strider on your right side.

This could be the start of pneumonia.

You've taken issue with
everything I've done as mayor.

I know you didn't believe in Hickam,

but if you ask me he
has turned out to be

the unqualified best choice.

The right mayor for the right time.

I told you, he's made up everything.

You believe me, don't you?

You see, word came back from Chicago

that the marriage license
for you and Mei is fraudulent.

Oh.

After what happened at
Mrs. Thornton's book launch

I don't think I'll ever be
planning another surprise party.

No, we're just gonna
have a nice quiet dinner.

Would you like me to play
"Happy Birthday" on my accordion?

That won't be necessary.

Rabat-joie.

Did you just disregard the
fact that I speak French too?

All right.

Thank you.

Fiona, welcome back.

Where's Henry?

San Francisco.

Well, that's where I left him
when I boarded my train, anyway.

You replaced the horse-drawn cab.

I did, but that's not
important right now.

Please tell me what happened.

Nothing went as we discussed,
especially after Henry arrived.

Thank you.

Right away he confronted the investors

about whether they planned
on re-opening the mines.

I've seen Henry's rage
but never like that.

It took three men to drag
him out of the boardroom.

You have no idea where he is now?

At the train station he
said he had something to do

and just walked off.

What about the investor referendum?

They voted that I replace
Henry with one proviso.

You remain on board in
your current position

for another fiscal year.

- Ah, morning, Ned ol' boy.
- Hello, Bill.

Well, Molly, Florence.

Oh.

I will uh, pick these up later.

Uh, your dirty clothes?

Florence is not a washer woman.

Well, certainly she doesn't expect me

to order one of these things
unless I know that it works.

Much appreciated.

Well, he's in a fine fettle.

I heard he was having some
issues with his health.

Yes, and I do worry about the man.

Hmm.

Hickam!

Ah, how are you this morning?

Ah, well, any time my day starts

with someone taking in my dirty laundry,

it's a good day, that's what I say.

How about you?

Well, I haven't been sleeping.

Oh, sorry to hear that.

Thank you, but I know what I need to do.

In order to sleep again, I mean.

Ok.

I'm gonna resign from office.

What?!

You just got elected.

And with the success of
Hope Valley Days, it was...

Being mayor, it... just isn't for me.

Now, Hickam, let's
you and I discuss this.

Bill! Partner!

I could use a hand.

And my day was off to a great start.

How did you possibly find
roses this time of year?

Happy birthday.

They're gorgeous. Thank you.

You're welcome.

So, are we still on for tonight?

No big surprises, no big parties.

Just you and I and Jack.

And that makes me very happy.

Well, that makes me happy too, then.

Say, Elizabeth, you
wouldn't happen to have

Abigail's number, do you?

I'm trying to track down Henry.

He didn't come back with Fiona

and he isn't with
Christopher in Bellingham.

Well, he isn't with Abigail, either.

She just called to wish
me a happy birthday.

Oh.

Is everything all right?

Why don't I come by? I can explain.

You know the way.

I'll see you soon.

All right.

- Walden.
- Ah, Lucas.

Good morning.

You look surprised to see me.

Is there something that you want?

The Queen of Hearts saloon.

And you're going to sell it to me.

We've already discussed this.

What makes you think I'd change my mind?

Why don't you sit down
and I'll explain it to you?

Julius, could we have a moment please?

Laura's upstairs playing with Jack.

I don't want you to worry,

but I think you should
know what's going on.

When you say you don't
want me to worry...

Wyman Walden is back.

You thought he was gone for good.

Why do you think he's back now?

I have a fair hunch,

but I need to explain
something to you first.

My black eye.

I got it because I refused to
continue working with Walden.

You were working with him?

I was trying to let
him run a grift on me.

A swindle, so I could
beat him at his own game.

Why would you do that?

Because these kinds of people just think

they can take whatever they want.

I was trying to operate a sting.

Have him arrested by my contact
at the treasury department.

My friend from New Orleans?

She's been after him for some time.

Only she went silent,
so I called it off.

And I haven't been
able to reach her since.

Now Walden's back and he's muscling me

into selling him the Queen of Hearts.

All right, I... I appreciate
what you were trying to do

but I don't think you
did yourself any favors

handling it this way.

Lucas, I think we should talk to Bill.

I'll let Laura know we're leaving.

May I be worried now?

You have so many whats-its and
doo-dads and whatcha-macall-its.

Oh! This is going to be so much fun.

I simply cannot wait.

Thank you so much for lending
us the use of your beauty salon.

What will you two be doing

during Elizabeth's day of beauty?

Oh, well, I have a few ideas but,

well, you know Elizabeth.

Mmm.

She never likes to be fussed over,

not even on her birthday.

What better day to be fussed over?

But isn't that exactly what you're doing

with all the hair and
the makeup and whatnot?

Well, yes, but she agreed

because she wants to look
special for Lucas tonight.

You know Elizabeth, she's always
putting others before herself,

even on her birthday,
especially on her birthday.

So, that is why, in addition
to her day of beauty,

I am also giving her... this!

A tricycle!

Well, what do you think?

Isn't it a little small?

It's for little Jack.

I figured as much.

Well, what I can't
figure is this letter.

We have this guy, Gilchrist,

coming all the way from California.

- I don't know why.
- Would that be Arthur Gilchrist?

Well, yes, as a matter of fact.

He works for the Hearst newspaper chain.

He sounds very important.

Apparently he has heard

of our fledgling yet
vibrant little offering.

He sent us a letter saying
he wants to have a meeting

with the editors of the Valley Voice.

How he came to hear of us,

well, we're still really not quite sure.

Oh, wouldn't that be something, though?

If this man wants to
add our little newspaper

to the Hearst empire,

well, think of how our
readership will grow!

Mei?

Hello?

- Oh!
- Faith.

- Do you know where Mei is?
- She's not inside?

- No.
- Oh.

I'm just dropping off a patient file

but if I see her later,
I'll tell her you came by.

Great. Thanks.

Oh, Faith, are you um...
are you missing a sock?

A sock?

Never mind.

As if I'd wear argyle.

Mei.

What is it?

I'm leaving for Chicago.

And I don't know how to tell Nathan.

Fiona?

San Francisco's on the line.

Hello?

I'd like to speak to
Mr. Gilchrist, please.

Yes.

Would you ask him to call Fiona Miller?

Tell him it's important.

Not urgent but important.

Yes.

Oh, uh, Fiona!

Fiona! Are you busy?

Uh, Lee Coulter's in my chair.

Oh, maybe he can help.

Uh, Minnie went to St. Louis with Angela

- and the café is shorthanded.
- Oh.

Well, I could help out later.

Much appreciated, thank you.

Oh, thank goodness.

Fiona, please take the
scissors from this woman.

I don't know why he is
acting like such a child.

I've cut his hair before.

I've cut your hair before!

Exactly my point.

Fine.

Thank you.

I do have a tonsorial trick
or two up my sleeve, you know.

Skills I acquired in summer theater.

Or, as devotees of the straw hat circuit

like to call it these days, Summerstock.

Any chance you learned any short
order skills at Summerstock?

No, but I did work at the café.

Keep it in mind she spent more time

working as a hostess than a waitress.

I was wildly popular.

Ehh.

I could use some help over there.

Oh, well I'm already
occupied for the day

but Lee makes a wonderful
breakfast in bed.

- You do.
- Oh, that's good enough.

Uh... yeah.

Yeah, of... sure. Of course, Joseph.

I-I'd love to help.

Stop on by, I'll put you to work.

I will.

Bye now.

Gee, sweetheart. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Of course I've had my doubts about you

but haven't I proven
myself enough of a friend

to come to me?

I just didn't want to involve
anyone I didn't have to.

You mean you wanted to
handle this on your own.

Anna!

Oh, hi Mrs. Thornton.

Pleasantries later, please.

Yes.

You do know what's prompted

Walden's sudden return
to town, don't you?

- I have a good idea.
- I don't.

There's something I haven't told you.

It's not his fault.

I asked everyone involved
not to discuss it.

There's a very real possibility

the coal mine could be re-opened.

Re-opened?

By... by whom?

Smith and his investors
through the oil company

if they become majority shareholders.

And because coal is used to make steel,

they'll likely be the
foundry's supplier.

That's why there hasn't been any
construction out at the foundry.

Coal was the missing
piece to make this happen.

And that's why Walden's back.

He must have heard a
deal's in the offering.

I just don't understand.

The judge ruled that the
mine could never be re-opened.

Judge Parker, who made
that ruling, died last year.

The oil company will no
doubt challenge that ruling

and have very deep pockets to do so.

And Walden is here to take advantage

of the whole situation.

So, what do we do?

Well, we do the only thing we can do.

We let Walden buy the Queen of Hearts.

You may not feel like
being mayor anymore

but just hang in there.

You think this plan will work?

It's gotta work.

Now remember, Hickam, let me have it.

I'll try.

... while you may be the
judge, I've been elected mayor.

What I say goes for this town, Bill.

- Mayor.
- Mr. Walden.

Judge Avery.

What do you want?

How soon could you
facilitate a quick claim deed?

Deed for what?

The Queen of Hearts saloon.

Maybe later this week.

Later this afternoon would be better.

Well, what's the rush?

It seems Lucas is in a hurry.

Well, maybe you should
tell me what's going on.

I make it my practice to not pry
into other's personal affairs.

Later today.

Walden, wait a second.

I'm done with the café.

With being a forensic investigator.

I wanna be mayor again

and I wanna secure something
substantial for myself.

I don't see what that has to do with me,

so I'm afraid you're on your own.

Even if I can get you the Queen
of Hearts without paying a cent?

Oh, my goodness.

Why are you so tense?

How can you tell?

Elizabeth, I'm your best friend.

I know when something's upsetting you.

But you're also clenching your fists.

I have to uncurl your fingers.

I need to talk to you.

But not as the editor in chief.

All right.

Lucas tried to run
Wyman Walden out of town

but now it seems things
have gotten out of hand.

Do you mean life and death out of hand?

I certainly hope not.

Because you do know Walden is
a suspect in an attempted murder

of a hotel owner in Brookfield.

I read about that but I
didn't know it was Walden.

Bill and the Mounties
in Brookfield asked me

not to use Walden's name

because they didn't have
the evidence to charge him

but they seemed quite
certain it was him.

Elizabeth, we don't know
what this man is capable of.

There's just so much at stake here.

As your friend, and off the record.

It's about the coal mine.

- Ned.
- Yes.

Is Mei back there?

No, more than likely she's
over at the Queen of Hearts

in her room getting ready to leave.

Where is she going?

Nathan, I assumed you knew.

She's... she's heading back to Chicago.

Were you not gonna say goodbye?

Of course.

I only found out this morning

and I've been rushing around ever since.

You found out what?

Geoffrey's pursuing the
false charge against me

so I'm required to appear in
the court of jurisdiction...

back in Chicago.

Do you want me to go with you?

You have no idea what that means to me.

But you can't leave Allie.

And I have no idea how long I'll be.

Well, I could call the Deputy Chief.

The one that Bill spoke to.

I... I can make sure that you're safe.

I'm not afraid of Geoffrey anymore.

But thank you for caring.

You know, on the day I arrived,

as I rode past you

my only regret is not
letting you catch me.

Yeah, mine, too.

Listen, Mei, I um... I owe you a lot.

For helping me.

And for helping Newton.

So, I just wanna say thank you.

You're welcome.

Can I... can I walk you out?

Would you wait here?

I really don't wanna say goodbye.

Thank you.

Well, at least I'm not
sneaking out of town.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Safe travels.
- Bye.

Oh, Florence!

Oh, Molly, thank goodness you're here.

Ned's across the street.
This thing has come alive!

- What do I...
- Get the plug! Get the plug!

- Oh!
- Florence, what happened?

This monster started attacking me.

Oh.

Uh, will you help me clean up?

You don't have another mop?

All right.

Oh, I just saw Mei.

Oh, that poor woman.

Does Faith think she'll come back?

We've talked about it

but I doubt Faith can
give an honest answer.

Why is that?

She's been rather subtle about
it but ever since his accident

I'm of the opinion that Faith
is carrying a torch for Nathan.

What about Carson?

That relationship was on the wane,

even before Carson left.

Are you sure about this?

Take it from someone who
carries a torch of her own.

Tell me, why are you so eager
to be rid of Lucas Bouchard?

You could ask anyone. Or ask him.

I haven't trusted that man
since he'd come to town.

I don't like people
operating outside of the law,

which is why I've never
liked you, no offense.

Operating inside the law

is something completely different.

There's an artistry to it,

which is exactly what
I plan on doing here.

Being mayor means that much to you?

Don't play dumb with me, Walden.

You get your information
from the foundry

and I get mine from the oil company,

we both know the same thing.

When those mines re-open
everyone's going to get rich.

Not everyone. But enough of us.

Point well taken.

It's not about me being mayor,

it's about me having
complete control of this town.

But first thing's first.

And what is this?

Forfeiture case law.

It's what I'm going to
use to get you the saloon

and Lucas out of town.

Now he says the eggs are overcooked.

Well, I can't undercook them.

I'm sorry, Mr. Coulter.

It's not your fault, Anna.

I guess I'll just... I'll start over.

It'll be all right.

Hey, there he is.

You know what, Joseph?

I actually think I'm starting
to get the hang of this.

Lee, I appreciate you
giving me a hand here.

What? What is it? What's wrong?

Did you co-sign our bank loan?

Uh...

I was hoping you wouldn't
find out about that.

Hoping we wouldn't find out?

Shouldn't that have been a clue
that maybe it was a bad idea?

You know, I started to think
that maybe you'd done something

when the bank called back
saying they'd changed their mind.

Why didn't you ask me?

I didn't think you'd say yes.

That should have been a clue, too.

Rosemary said this would happen.

- And that.
- I know, another clue.

Lee, stop trying to help me with that.

Joseph, I was just trying to
be your friend, that's all.

I know that you would have
done the same thing for me, too.

I would have asked you first.

Well, I'm ok.

Everything's fine.

I signed the deed to
the saloon over to Walden

and he thinks I've driven out of town.

- Were you followed?
- No, I don't think so.

I circled around and the
car's parked out of sight.

What if this whole plan of
putting on an act for Walden

to try to have him
arrested doesn't work?

I just don't see that we have a choice.

But we're better off already.

- Oh, really?
- Mmm-hmm.

Why is that?

Because I get to stay here,
out of sight, with you.

Make sure nothing happens
to you or my little buddy.

- That is better.
- It is better.

A nice quiet birthday.
Just the two of us.

Mama, is it morning?

Just the three of us.

Why don't you go get that boy

who is very much awake and
I'll start making us dinner?

Well, I am impressed.

Seizing property under forfeiture

goes back to maritime law.

It was easy to force Lucas's hand.

Either he signs the deed
or he faces time in prison.

Um, Mr. Wyman, your office.

Why would he bother locking
the door when leaving town?

I don't know. Maybe
we can break the glass-

That's not necessary.

I can wait to call a
locksmith in the morning.

Ok.

May I help you?

I hope you're not the new maitre d'.

Perhaps you'd like to step outside.

Perhaps later.

Constable.

How is your evening?

Is Lucas around?

Lucas left town late this afternoon.

And the Queen of Hearts
is under new ownership.

You can't be serious.

Things happen fast
around here these days.

And you're just ok with this?

Nathan, I can't stand
in the way of commerce.

Bill, he's gonna be back.
You know that, right?

Maybe.

But not as owner of this saloon.

Have a good evening, Constable.

Now it's my turn,

given that you're in the
afterglow of all this.

I told you that I wanted

something substantial for myself.

I want Lucas's share of the oil company.

And if you want in

you're gonna have to come
up with some upfront capital.

Some good faith money.

Shall we?

What's the matter, Pop? Not hungry?

No, Coop, I guess not.

These are good leftovers.

You don't miss your mama's cooking?

I like your cooking, too.

Judge Avery made the potatoes,
Mr. Coulter made the ham.

I'm not quite certain
who made the snap peas.

Lots of people helped out, huh?

We have some very good friends.

Mmm-hmm.

You don't suppose you ever see
yourself coming back to church?

Maybe.

I like trying to be my
own boss for a while.

Your own boss, huh?

I heard you say that to Mom once.

Is that how you see God? The big boss?

Pretty much.

You don't think you're getting
too big for your britches, son?

I'll always love you.

These are the kind of questions
you have to ask yourself.

Ok, Pop.

I'll try.

Good.

How about some dessert?

- Oh yeah.
- Ok.

Are you staying here?

Just for tonight.

Just for tonight?

Yes, while we play hide and seek.

Which is why we have
all the lights down low

and we're being very, very quiet.

I'm going to go upstairs

and get you a pillow and
a blanket for the couch.

Can he sleep in my room?

I don't think so.

You two would keep
each other up all night

and you need your sleep.

Hey, buddy, do you want
to help me with a surprise?

For Mom? Ok.

Well, all right. Let's go. Come here.

Hello?

Yes.

Mr. Gilchrist, hello.

Yes, it was nice meeting you,
too, when I was down there.

Uh, Mr. Gilchrist...

Arthur.

Sir, are you planning a trip here?

Oh, no. Just wanting
to see if I can help.

Well, great. I'll see you then.

Mmm-hmm.

... wearing a cape.

It's a surprise for Mom.

I wanna surprise her.

You may reveal yourself.

Ready?

♪ Happy birthday to you, ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you, ♪

♪ Happy birthday dear Mama, ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you. ♪

♪ And many more. ♪

Thank you.

Blow out the candle.

Oh, ok.

Can we eat it now?

Yes, we can. Why don't you have a bite?

Go ahead.

- Is it good?
- Yummy.

When you mentioned his name earlier,

I know Arthur Gilchrist.

He's an investor in the oil company.

Hmm.

And he's here to talk to
us about the newspaper.

What a coincidence.

Well, not really.

No, sweetheart, it is a coincidence.

- I suppose it is.
- Mmm.

- As a matter of fact.
- Coincidence or not,

I wish I could steer clear
of him when he arrives.

Fiona, since I hardly even got started

on Elizabeth's day of beauty,

would it be ok if we came by tomorrow?

Of course, but will she
be in any kind of shape?

What woman, well, I suppose Elizabeth,

but even she could be convinced

to resume her day of
primping and pampering.

Sweetheart, maybe Fiona has a point.

About Elizabeth.

- Because of Lucas.
- Since he left town.

- Yes.
- Mm.

Of course, what was I thinking?
Maybe I wasn't thinking.

Or I was thinking that she would uh,

benefit from getting out.

Your beauty salon is so relaxing.

Whatever you say.

- What was that?
- I know, I know.

I just keep forgetting that
we're not supposed to let on

that we know what's
happening with the mines.

Oh, for goodness sake. It
is a lot to keep track of.

How long do you think
it'll take Bill Avery

to outwit Wyman Walden?

Because I can't keep
this up much longer.

I don't know. I hope he hurries, too.

But even if we do get rid of Walden

we still have to deal with
the problem of the investors

wanting to re-open the mines.

You know what I think about Gilchrist?

While he is here to inquire
about our little newspaper,

I think he is also here to help Smith

make sure that the mines get re-opened.

Now I'm starting to forget who's where,

how's when and what's
what. I don't know.

I think the bigger problem
is that you're beginning

to sound an awful lot like me.

Good lord, I hope not.

Ah, Judge Avery.

You can stop by the
mercantile whenever you wish

and pick up your wet clothes.

And are we to understand
that you brokered the deal

between Walden and Lucas?

I will, and I did.

I don't care how it looks.

I can't believe Bill's
a part of all this.

Well, I'm sorry. I just can't.

Is there something you want, Julius?

I'm just here to assist.
Mr. Walden's orders.

You always do what he says.

Sir, is there anything I can do to help?

Hi.

Perhaps another time.

I look forward to it.

- You're out late.
- Oh, house calls.

I heard Lucas is selling
the Queen of Hearts.

That's crazy.

Yeah, that's one word for it.

How are you?

With Mei leaving.

Uh, well, right now I'm just more
concerned for her safety, really.

Mmm.

She'll be back.

Thanks.

Ah, you can relate.

I guess it was different for
you when Carson left town.

You were ready to get married.

Carson might have been ready
but you are assuming my response.

You didn't wanna get married?

I wasn't ready. I'm still not ready.

I can tell you, it is not on the
top of my to-do list right now.

That is the first time
I've heard somebody

refer to marriage as
being on a to-do list.

Care to discuss that
over a dish of ice cream?

I think we're out of luck.

Not when you have the keys.

Whenever there was a thunderstorm

my sisters and I would
race down the hall

and jump into our parents' bed.

- All five of you?
- Mmm-hmm.

- Sounds fairly crowded.
- Oh, it was.

And made even more so
by our two bull mastiffs

who were right there with us.

Oh.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

Lucas, as nice as it is having you here,

what if this plan of Bill's goes wrong?

We'll have to cross that
bridge if we come to it.

But either way I'm gonna be here

to make sure nothing
happens to you or Jack.

I know you will.

Tell me more about growing up.

You tell me.

No.

You must have at least some
of the same kind of memories.

Well, when it came to
that kind of family time,

once I went to bed for the night

I was expected to keep
myself busy until morning.

I would read until late.

Oh.

It's fine.

Someday I hope we might have

the kind of life you've always wanted.

This is the kind of
life I've always wanted.

Would you please carry Jack to bed

while I make up the couch for you?

I'd love to.

Oh, hey.

Jack! Jack!

Don't wake your buddy!

- Hi.
- Lucas, are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Say you're sorry.

Sorry, bud.

That's all right.

I know you wouldn't try
and hurt me, would you?

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Pop?
- Morning, son.

Come out here and join me.

Did you sleep all right?

Uh-huh.

When do Mom and Angela get back?

Mmm.

Not too much longer.

You miss 'em.

Kind of, yeah.

Can we go fishing?

Oh, that would be
nice, but we have work.

What kind of work?

At the café.

Don't you and mama own it now?

Yeah, part of it. Why?

Then you're the bosses.

Yes, but even so,
there's still work to do.

Sometimes even more.

Still think you want
to be your own boss?

We'll see.

You almost had me fooled.

And Rosemary thinks she can act.

Why go through this charade
of selling Walden the saloon?

I had to somehow try to get his trust.

And do you think it worked?

Here they come.

We're about to find out.

Let's hope he brought the money.

Well, that didn't take long.

As you might imagine,

folks don't keep me waiting at the bank.

Shall we head inside?

Drop the briefcase.

Hands up, Spurlock.

Don't do it!

Well...

There's that gun that
you said that you lost.

That'll make the attempted murder case

and all the other charges
against you so much easier.

Get out of the car.

If you can believe it,

I'm actually starting
to run out of adjectives

to describe this turn of events.

That is how exciting it was.

Huh! What a story!

Front page, of course.

Not to mention an exclusive

that will be picked
up all over the area.

I think I'll enjoy reading about this

far more than I would have seeing it.

It was rather exhilarating.

Definitely not something I'll
be forgetting any time soon.

I'm just glad no one got hurt.

Yes, absolutely.

Judge Bill Avery assures the community

that the case against Walden,

including charges of fraud
and attempted murder, is...

to quote the esteemed Avery "air tight".

Bill's pretty confident
that he can get money back

for any Hope Valley residents
who sold to Walden under duress.

I will enjoy reading this.

Well, you won't have to wait long.

Lee, would you mind proofreading it?

I was typing so fast I'm
not sure I got it all down.

You know, it's kinda like
a... like a mystery novel.

All the work that went
into capturing Walden?

And Bill, Bill did
something very clever.

When he first confiscated Walden's gun

he filed a little notch into
the top of the firing pin

which, in essence,
acted as a fingerprint.

And it was a perfect match,
so he was able to tie the gun

to the bullet casing found
by the Mountie in Brookfield.

That is very impressive.

- Lee.
- What?

Proofread.

Proofread. Right.

I'm sorry. Proofreading.

What do you think
they're saying out there?

None of them looks very happy.

Well, whatever the story is,

you can read all about
it in the Valley Voice.

And, of course, you know

how Bill always enjoys
a little good ink.

Walden said that you kept
records of everything.

Bill, I don't know what
you're talking about.

I need to know what Walden's...

I want you to come clean with me, Lucas!

Fellas!

Let's take it down a notch, all right?

Yeah.

Listen, Bill, I find this ironic
that I'm defending Lucas here,

but why would he show Walden a
bunch of illegal gambling books

of some folks in Louisiana?

I can only imagine that he was
trying to gain Walden's trust

just like I had been doing.

Lucas.

Listen, the only way to clear this up

is to look for the ledgers.

Walden said you kept them
hidden in your office.

It's locked.

- Everything all right?
- Not quite.

Now, tell me about this
French-speaking contact

you have at the treasury.

Jeanette Aucoin.

We've been friends since
my days in New Orleans.

It's true.

Lucas told me about Miss
Aucoin. What is going on?

Well, Walden has told Bill

that I wasn't actually working with him.

In fact, I was working
with folks from Louisiana,

and I've kept records of
all these illegal activities

hidden in my office.

And you believe Walden?

I'm simply trying to build
a case against Walden.

Now, how do I get a
hold of this Miss Aucoin?

I don't know, Bill.

I haven't been able to reach her

since I initially
contacted her about Walden.

Bill.

The books Walden told you about.

Right where he said they'd be.

Whatever happens, we'll get through it.

His innoncence is questioned.

- He is innocent...
- Until proven guilty. Yes, I know.

But one decision could set him free.

I got a call from the man who hit you.

He wants to make a deal.

His plea, it's like trading
one wrong for another.

And the must-see moment
you've been waiting for.

- I don't have a fever.
- Rosemary.

I was trying to tell you.

"When Calls the Heart"...
