Previously on
When Calls the Heart...

Nathan needs me to show him
where I buried the transformer.

Oh! Look out!

What happened?

He hit his head on a rock.

Do you know when that car
was coming towards us,

the only thing I could
think about was you three.

[Edie] Thank you,
to both of you.

Horses can't resist him.

We should use
the money from the jam

to buy up
Bill's half the café.

It's Minnie's Café.

[Rosemary] It's from my theater
days back in New York.

[Gwen] Do you ever miss it?

I suppose I do,

but life wouldn't be
an adventure without change.

Christopher's gone.

Well, without him,
we don't have a case.

[Elizabeth] Inspiration
is a funny thing.

It can show up when
you least expect.

When you didn't even
know you needed it.

[exhales]

After losing her playhouse
in the fire,

Rosemary needed
a new challenge.

" The Mark of Zorro ".

Oh, great choice, Mike.

I loved that one
when it came out.

Bound to be a classic.

Is there anything
the pictures can't do?

[chuckles]

Touché!

Moving pictures...
they're the way of the future.

The way of the future.

Oh!

The weapons you use
pierce deep, señorita.

It's from the movie.

That's very good.

You want to be a sword fighter?

No, Lee.

I want to burn with passion.

I want to be seized with an idea
that won't let me go.

I want to scrape together
every person, prop,

and piece of equipment
in this little town

and make something
out of nothing

that no one will ever forget.

Mmhm.

Are you sure this doesn't
have something to do with that

missed opportunity you had
with that film producer

a few years ago?
What was his name again?

This has nothing to do
with the past.

This is about now.

Lee, I want to feel alive.

You- you have
your construction company.

Mmhm.

Building with bricks
and mortar.

I also want to build something.

A dream.

Oh, Lee, the silver
screen calls.

I am helpless to resist.

Hmm.

There she is.

There's my Rosie.

Welcome back, sweetheart.

[smooch]

[Elizabeth] In typical
Rosemary fashion,

she's enlisting
the entire town to help.

But first, she needs a story.

And that's where I come in.

But inspiration
has a fickle twin.

[Elizabeth] "'Oh my goodness.'
Mary says.

'Third time this week

all the morning's
baking has disappeared."

A pie caper?

"When pies fly,
secrets crumble."

I'm just not hearing a lot of
daring do in stolen pastries.

- [Lee] Yeah.
- [Rosemary] Yeah.

- What else you got?
- Mmhm.

Well, um...

- Ah.
- Sorry I'm late.

Oh. Hi, Opal.

You know, I can
come find you later.

Took me forever to find
my dad's comptometer.

What on earth
do you need that for?

We have brought Opal here
on as fellow producer.

Because we've all heard horror
stories about moving pictures

blowing through their coffers.

Well, you do have
impressive math scores.

So she is here to keep us on
time, but more importantly,

- [Lee snaps fingers]
- On budget.

Mmhm.

What a wonderful
opportunity, Opal.

Did I miss anything?

No. You haven't missed
anything. Come, come.

Elizabeth was just
getting to the good stuff.

- Yes.
- Proceed.

Ahem. Um...

Well, when the great
Tony McAllister,

mountain climber extraordinaire,

ascends his highest--

No mountains.

What?

Too expensive to get
the crew and equipment that far.

And that up.

[laughs] That's my girl.

Okay.

Ah.

Sybil Featherstone is
the world's greatest gem thief.

Ooh! Gems. On screen.

Can't see the colors.
Won't pop.

Mhm. Elizabeth.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- For your creativity.
- Mmhm.

But we need a story with

romance and passion
and adventure,

all with a bubbling core

of humanity's most primal need.

The search for meaning.

Oh, and some
swashbuckling too, perhaps.

Oh, I have one with
a pirate and a bear.

Mm-mm. Budget.

- And no bears.
- [sighs]

Talking dog, on
the other hand, that sells.

What happened to humanity's
most primal need?

Commercial success is also

right there at the top
of the list.

Yeah, and make it funny.

Not that funny, Lee.

No, no, no, not that funny.
We're not doing slapstick.

Elizabeth. Remember.

Write what you know.

Pour your soul into it.

And we're gonna need you
to turn it in by tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?!
- It's a tight schedule.

Time is money.

We believe in you.

Now, off you go.

[claps]

That went well.

Mm?

♪

[knocking]

Come in.

[exhales]

[Nathan] Hey.
You're up late.

I thought you might
have been Rosemary

here to breathe down my neck.

Directors, right.

You have no idea.

I think I actually may have
stumbled upon a story

that meets
all of the requirements.

Hey, how's your wound healing?

Good.

Yeah. Faith said
there's no infection.

Oh. Thank goodness.

So, are you able to tell
me what this is about yet?

Well, until I'm told otherwise,
it is about a dashing Mountie

and his belle,
the school teacher.

That would never happen.

[laughs]

They told me
to write what I know.

What's the plot?

Well...

Millie, the school teacher,

gets kidnaped
by a notorious bandit,

and Apollo, the Mountie--

Apollo?

Yes, Apollo.
He's very handsome.

He risks it all to save his
true love before it's too late.

And does Apollo get the bad guy
and save the girl?

I'm not gonna spoil the ending.

But do you think
you could help me

with the Mountie
investigation part?

I need insight

into your incredible
investigative prowess.

Uh, I don't know if I'm really
the right man for the job.

What?

Real life investigations
are painstaking and complicated.

Really, they rely more
on luck than... prowess.

Well, maybe
you could help me

with the painstaking
and complicated parts.

I'll come by in the morning.

We can read the script together
over a fresh pot of coffee.

They need it by tomorrow.

Well, I'd better leave you
to it.

Happy writing, beautiful.

Thank you for stopping by,
handsome.

And with that
added complicated layer,

Apollo went from being
just handsome

to also brilliant
and courageous.

Mmm.

I checked all the hotels
at Cape Fullerton

and yet there's still
no sign of him.

What about his fiancé
and her parents?

Could Christopher be with them?

No, I've spoken with Rachel
almost every day,

and she's just as worried
as I am.

Well, it's been a week since
we called in that alert.

He could be anywhere by now.

That's why I'm concerned
for his safety.

Well, we're doing
our best to find him, Henry.

That's a promise.

Well, I'll let you know
if I hear anything.

Thanks, Henry.

You know, I feel for him.

They were just starting to get
on solid ground with each other.

Then there's our case.

No star witness, no evidence.

Just slipped right
through our fingers.

I was thinking
of asking Georgie

to look through
our files with us.

And that Pioneer Electric
trial's right around the corner.

A fresh set of eyes might
catch something we missed.

Do it.

I'm going to call in
a new alert.

Highest priority.

We got to find Christopher.

This is going to be a hit,
Elizabeth.

You really like it?

Oh, the way Apollo comes out of
nowhere and springs that trap

that we'd all forgotten about.
- Yes.

Oh, I love it.

Nathan gave me
so many expert details.

Wonderful. Now I have
a few suggestions.

We'll get into that later.

But clearly you must play
Millie the schoolteacher.

Oh, no. No, no.

I- I am not an actress.

Who better?

You practically wrote yourself.

And Constable Grant has
to play the Mountie.

Mm. Yes.
Apollo, our daring hero.

Think about
the built-in chemistry, hmm?

I definitely don't think
Nathan will be interested.

His uniform won't
fit anyone else.

He's doing it.

I'll go see Allie about
casting Scout

as Terry the Talking Terrier.

Is she that
intimidating in class?

I don't think it's that
noticeable when she's in a herd.

Anyway, can I get back
to you about playing Millie?

Yes, of course you can.

But I won't take no
for an answer.

I would play the role myself,
naturally, but

I have to focus all of my powers
on the director's chair.

Well--

And my days of kissing
co-stars are long gone.

Well, I mean, not that long,
but gone nonetheless.

Right. The kiss.

Mm. The most important
plot point in a romance.

I don't want to kiss
a random co-star.

Thus, I leave casting Nathan
to you.

Now, about these
story changes--

Oh! You said "suggestions".

Of course.

All changes
start with suggestions.

A dog wouldn't say that.

You know, part of me wants
to just file

a class-action lawsuit

and get all the claimants
paid out that way.

Oh, I get it.

But you'd only be letting
National Insurance off the hook

if they claim bankruptcy.

Now you sound like
the other part of me.

It's all just so frustrating.

Yes, and not surprising.

It is a nascent industry,
rife with greed.

Mmhm. Let's sell as many
policies as possible

without any thought
of how we might pay them out

in the future.

I like your fire, counselor.
You are going places.

In fact.

What's this?

When all of this hubbub
is over,

you should give them a call.

I already put in a word.

The Franklin and
Sons Foundation.

The big philanthropic
organization in Union City.

Nestor Franklin, an old pal
and one of the sons,

would like to talk
to you about their work

with legal aid societies.

Wow. Um...

Thank you, Georgie.

But I'm happy with my life
in Hope Valley.

With the work I already have.

Suit yourself.

I admire a woman
who goes it alone.

Well, how'd they like it?

They loved it! I think.

Rosemary had some
strongly-worded suggestions.

But most importantly,

they want you to play Apollo.

What?

Rosemary convinced me
to play Millie,

and there's a certain
plot point

that I'd rather
you were a part of.

Ah. Well, I'm curious
about that, but you know

I'm in the middle
of a pretty important

investigation right now.

I know, I know.
It's only if you have time.

But maybe a break
would do you good.

And it's like you said,
sometimes the best ideas

come from doing something else.

I don't know if I'm an actor.

Danny DiMarco would like a word.

Come on. It'll be fun.

Let's do it together
so I don't have to...

kiss anyone else.

Well, why didn't
you lead with that?

Yes, of course I'll do it.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll give Buster Keaton
a run for his money.

Oh, I like
your confidence, Apollo.

How hard can this
acting thing be?

I appreciate your persistence
on this, Constable.

Thank you.

A bartender in Union City
said that he is certain

he saw Christopher
at the Highland Pub last night.

It's almost like
he wants you to find him.

Well, if it was Christopher.

And even if it was him,
there's no guarantee

we can catch up to him
before the trial.

Well, without him, all we have
is a bunch of burnt concrete.

And this map
from Pioneer Electric,

which we know is fraudulent.

But good luck proving
that in court.

There's no cartouche.

Oh, is that unusual?

Well, most map makers like
to take credit for their work.

Pride of craft.

It's a fraudulent map.

Probably didn't want
to put a signature on it.

And yet I know
who made this map.

Edie Martell and I have been
poring over coverage maps

from National Insurance.

Look at the compass roses.
They are identical.

The same man made
both of these maps.

Clement Skoggins.

I told you she was good.

So, National Insurance
and Pioneer Electric

used the same map maker.

Coincidence? Sure.
But suspect? Really?

Well, there are plenty
of map makers

that Pioneer Electric
could have hired.

But it's not just that.

If the cause of the fire
turns out to be arson

instead of corporate negligence,

National Insurance
doesn't have to pay out

nearly as much to its clients.

Whoa.

That's why they've been
slow rolling the claims.

National insurance wanted Toby
and Cooper to take the fall.

And then for us
to make it official,

because then Pioneer Electric
gets off the hook.

And National Insurance
saves a bundle.

If these two companies
are colluding,

then our investigation goes
from a simple corporate cover up

to a conspiracy to defraud
thousands of people.

The mapmaker.
The mapmaker is the key.

We've got to find this map.

I think we should get some
tangible evidence in first.

Bank records.

Yeah, but that could take
a while to get a warrant.

Well, leave it to me.

I'm a forensic investigator.

I have friends who owe me.

And some who might even be
a little bit afraid of me.

How hard can it be to find some
decent costumes around here?

Ugh!

We didn't have much time
to prepare other options.

Rosemary, are you sure
that Ned's character

needs to be such a character?

I have a vision, Faith.

And Ned is not
just any character.

He is Neil Fearnley.

He is the heart
of this entire story!

I found some more from
last year's Halloween party.

Oh, yes.

Yes. This is perfect.

I need to try this on Ned
right now!

Let's go!

Edie, I'm so sorry
we're interrupting.

- Yes, you're obviously busy.
- Actually,

- I could use some-
- More tea?

A biscuit, perhaps?

Oh, those both sound lovely,
but I was thinking more, um...

wise counsel.

Ooh.

Lucas has been all out of sorts
ever since Fernando showed up.

Oh, speaking of the devil.

Hello!

Oh.

Hello.

Buenos dias, señoritas.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Mrs. Sou-Hickam.

Thank you.

Doctor Carter.

Thank you.

Only in town a week

and already he knows
everybody's name.

Yeah.

So, Fernando, will
you be working on the film?

Ah, yes. May I?

Please.

Mr. Coulter and an angry
little señorita

put me in charge
of the lighting.

Moving pictures are but

flickers of light
dancing on a screen.

I will be the maestro
leading this dance.

Wow. I've never heard it put
quite that way.

And you, Edith,
will you join the dance?

Oh, no. I'm- I'm not really
one for make believe.

Mm.

But fun.

Now that's a different story.

Oh!

[laughs]

[Spanish guitar music]
- [Faith] Okay.

[ladies laughing]

Bravo, Fernando.

Very good.

You must all visit me on set.

Ladies.

Oh! Are you sure Lucas has
nothing to worry about?

That's just Fernando.

He isn't happy until

he's cast his little spell
on everyone.

It doesn't work on me anymore,

Well...

does Fernando know that?

Oh. I was just
about to ring you.

Third letter this month.

Very observant of you,
and hopefully not the last.

No stamp, no return address.

Very clandestine.

It's just a letter.

Behold, you are looking at
the newest addition to

" The Scarlet Heart ".

Rosemary's movie.
She cast me.

I heard. Congratulations.

Thank you.

I- I thought you'd be
more excited.

Oh, I am.
Of course, dear.

You'll be marvelous.

- It's Molly.
- Hmm?

She's keeping something from me.

We've never had secrets.

Oh, we don't get to know
everything, my love.

Mm. Now, then,
which part is it?

It is the main villain.

- [gasps]
- Yes.

Ask and ye shall receive.

The bank statement
of Clement P. Skoggins.

Quick work, Inspector.

You're more feared
than you even knew.

You'll note Skoggins received

a $500 payment from
Pioneer Electric.

That's a lot of money for a map.

About 20 times the going rate.

Well, it certainly looks
like he's been paid off, but...

not enough to bring him in.

Well, maybe, if somebody
might need his services.

Intrigue and espionage.

My favorites.

[clears throat]

Mr. Skoggins.

The same.

Miss Waggenmeister,
I presume?

Indeed.

Thank you for coming
on such short notice. Please.

No need to thank me.

Short notice is just
another way of saying

I get paid faster.

Well, then let's get
right to it.

I need some maps made
for a financial client.

They are willing
to pay handsomely.

My normal rate is
more than adequate.

And what might that be?

Uh, $25 for the initial design,

and $5 for each duplication.

Well, then somebody better
tell Pioneer Electric

they got a bum deal.

What's this?

Because they paid you $500
for the same service.

Did they not?

Um... where did you get this?

I...

Let me tell you what
this looks like, Clement.

It looks like you
were paid handsomely

to create a fraudulent map.

A map that you backdated
to help Pioneer Electric

hide the location of a burnt
out transformer

that caused a fire
and burned down a town.

Which means that you can
be charged

with participating in a
conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Do you want to add lying

to an RCMP officer
to that charge?

I'm just an artist,
a draftsman.

I- I help people find their way.

Well, then help yourself.

If you cooperate, this will
go much easier for you.

Am I under arrest?

Not yet, no.

Then we're done here.

[sighs]

That could have gone better.

Maybe.

I don't know.
He seems spooked enough.

Enough to make a call?

Eh, we'll see.

If anything comes through,

you know where to find me.

Oh, uh, break a leg, Apollo.

[clicks teeth]

[chuckles]

Thank you.

Looking good, Ned.

Oh, that's Neil Fearnley
to you, Apollo.

You'll never take me alive!

Mei, this looks wonderful.

And yes, the jacket.
Very good.

Now, Ned, listen.

Neil Fearnley is the linchpin.

Without his quiet acts
of self-sacrifice,

Apollo would never
have his chance to shine.

Mwah. Go!

[gasps]

There they are.
My stars.

Such chemistry.
Such charisma. Oh!

There you are.

What is this?

They're new story pages.
I fixed a few things.

I wasn't aware anything
was broken.

They're still
mostly your words.

I just helped it sing a little.

Wait a minute.

Where's Millie?
Who's Octavia?

You are, my dear.

You are.

[gasps]

- Lee!
- Yes?

What is this traffic light
still doing here?

I asked for it
to be removed hours ago!

Who's in charge here?

Well, clearly I am.

Yes, you are.

Which is why
I asked for it to be removed.

[clicks teeth]

Showbiz.

[both laugh]

He may not make
the call for a while,

if he calls.

Oh, he'll make the call.

Do you miss it?
The thrill of the hunt?

You set him up,
I take him down?

Oh, is that how it worked?

I thought I was
the one who took him down.

They never really see
you coming, do they?

Operator.
How may I direct your call?

[Skoggins] Pioneer Electric.
Mr. Shelby Whittaker.

[Operator] Please hold.

Whittaker speaking.

[Skoggins] They're onto us!

And I'm not taking
the fall for this.

[Whittaker] Pipe down.
Who is this?

[Skoggins] It's me,
Skoggins!

Some sneaky broad
said she needed a map,

and the coppers
were all over me.

[Whittaker]
Keep your mouth shut.

Someone could be listening.

[hangs up]

Is that enough to work with?

[hangs up]

There's nothing about collusion
or bribery or starting a fire,

but yeah, it's something.

Whitaker seems
to know what he's doing.

Maybe. But that
mapmaker's a chump.

And who's he calling
a "sneaky broad"?

He's not wrong.

I wear it with pride.

[laughs]

I realize how much
I've missed this.

What?

The thrill of the hunt? Hmm?

No, I've...

I've hunted enough for one life.

You know, I didn't ask you here

just to help Edie
settle insurance claims.

And, you know that's
not why I came.

It's a magical town.

I can see why you're here.

What are you doing here?

I'm in charge of the lighting,
remember?

No, I know.
I- I mean here.

In Hope Valley.

Well, I'm a builder.

- I have business.
- Ah.

So you just happen
to show up where I am living?

I can't speak for fate, Edith.

It brought us together once,
maybe it has again.

No.

Not this time.

Fernando, I-

I'm sorry that I left,

but I- I know now that it wasn't
how it was supposed to be.

It wasn't
a true marriage of minds,

where both people grow
because they inspire each other.

Uh-huh.

Well...

the Governor's a lucky man.

- I don't know about that.
- I do.

And he should too.

Good luck, Nando.

Snacks are for the crew.

Okay.

Oh. Uh, Mei?

Are we almost ready?

- Nearly.
- Okay.

Time is money, people.
Places, places.

[Rosemary] All right, all right.

Take one.

Roll camera.

Rolling.

And, action!

[jaunty, old-time music]

♪

Oh!

Cut!

- I'm so sorry, Rosemary.
- No, no, no.

I think I came in a little hot.

It's all right.
It's all right.

It's first-time jitters.

Let's just shake it off
and we'll try again.

All right?

Uh. Places, everyone!

Take two.

Roll camera!

- Rolling.
- And action!

[jaunty old-time music]

Oh. Uh, cut!

It's wonderful.

- Oh!
- Okay.

- I love it.
- Yeah.

Uh, just let's try to forget
that the camera is even here.

At all. Uh-huh.

It's just Octavia and Apollo
against the world.

- You got it.
- Uh-huh.

You are a cunning
and heroic Mountie,

animated by justice.

Ooh! Just channel you.

- [Elizabeth] Rosemary?
- Uh-huh?

How am I doing?

Marvelous. Just, uh...
find your center.

Find my center?

[Rosemary] Righto! Take three.

Roll camera.

Rolling.

And action!

[jaunty music]

[Opal] Why is she
walking like that?

Why does he look like a mummy?

I can hear you.

- [Nathan] Am I supposed to be--
- [Rosemary] Shh!

Pretend we're not here.

Uh, just--
let's go in for the kiss.

[Elizabeth laughing]

Okay. Let's cut.

[Elizabeth] My goodness.

Uh, let's take ten.

I thought--

...on that side.

There's something
uh, wrong with the camera.

There's nothing wrong
with the camera.

I mean, there's something
very wrong with the camera.

Oh!

- [Elizabeth] Rosemary.
- Uh-huh.

I know we got off
to a rocky start,

but I actually think we're
getting the hang of things now.

Absolutely.

Uh, but, you know,
one thing I didn't foresee

when I cast both of you,

is, uh, you two
are actually too real.

You know, all of this
is kind of nonsense

compared to what
you two, actually--

Rosemary?

Mmhm.

Are you firing me?

You're still the writer.

I didn't even want to do this.

Hold on a minute.

I only agreed to this
because of Elizabeth.

I'm not kissing anyone else.

No, of course not.

I think that's for the best.

Absurd.

[Lee] Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Did you just fire
our two leads?

What now?
We have a schedule!

- This is not a crisis.
- [Lee] Mmhmm.

It's an opportunity.

We just need to find someone...

undeniable.

You know,
I could offer my services--

May I have assistance
with my light, por favor?

Thank you, caballero.
Beautiful.

Now, gently.

[Fernando] Easy.

Tilt her down.

Yes.

[upbeat piano music]

♪

♪

[music concludes]

Cut!

Brilliant!

[applause]
- Brilliant.

I suppose that's what
you call chemistry.

- Sweetheart?
- Yes?

Brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.

Feels good to be back.

Moving on!

I would like to formally rescind
my offer.

- Obviously.
- [speaking Spanish]

Let's get you two ready
for your next scene.

Elizabeth?

Thank you for taking this
all in stride.

It's as I always say,
limitations breed creativity.

About that.

Yes?

We need some rewrites.

A location fell through,

and Scout's part
went to Gwen in a bear suit.

I thought you said no bears.

I got a deal on the suit.

Well?

Next set up!

Fine. I will make the changes.

Is there a chair for me?

Can we get
an apple box for the writer?

I'm still Mrs. Thornton to you.

[Edie] There you are.

I came by earlier,
but you were out.

I had some business.

Well, I was hoping that I could
lure you away for some gin.

The card game, of course.

I saw you and Fernando.

I thought I made it clear--

You don't owe me
any explanations, Edie.

Clearly I do.

There is nothing
between Fernando and me.

And if that
wasn't clear to him before,

well, it certainly is now.

I see.

So...?

What do you say?

It is not
that I don't believe you.

[sighs]

But I've been here before,

and people don't always know
their hearts.

Well,

you may have been here before,
Lucas, but...

we haven't.

Yes, I just...

I don't want to be
questioning and wondering,

doubting you.

It's not what you deserve.

Okay, well,
what can I do?

I think I just need time.

How much time?

I don't know.

I don't want to make you
a promise that I cannot honor.

I'm very sorry.

I understand.

The detachment clerk
recorded the transcript,

so it'll be admissible
in court.

How much do you think this is
really going to help our case?

Innocent people don't say
"they're on to us".

So trust me, that will
get the jury's attention.

Yeah, I just-
I wish that we had--

I know, but short of finding
Christopher

and that blown transformer,

we just have to keep digging
into every lead we've got.

[giggling]

Well, I'll be.

Florence Dorothy Yost.

How could you betray Ned
with this...

- This...
- Molly?

[Florence] What on earth?

Do I have something on my face?

No. There's something
on your head, dear.

- Need I remind you?
- Right, right, right.

What do you think, Molly?
I could get used to this.

[laughs]

I thought Florence
was messing about

with some floppy-haired nitwit!

I would never do such a thing.

Is it floppy?

Oh, and to think you thought
I was traipsing around in secret

when it's you who've been
holding out on me.

What are you implying?

Those letters.

I had to learn from Elizabeth

that you've been taking a
nursing correspondence course.

Why didn't you tell me?

Your opinion means
so much to me.

I just... couldn't bear
to tell you and then fail.

Oh, Molly.

I'm so sorry.

For that, and for thinking
you were being unfaithful.

How could you think
you couldn't tell me?

I know you're not going to fail.

Well, it seems you're right.

I passed.

I'm officially a nurse.

Oh! You see?

It was all I could do
not to peek at them.

Not that I ever have.

No, it's a federal crime.

I hated not telling you.

You know, you can always
be yourself with me.

And that goes for you too, Ned.

I am begging you.

[stammers]

[sighs] Fine.

Fine.

Oh.

Thank you, dear.

Of course.

Evening, Governor.

Oh, Mike, I didn't order
a drink.

You look like
you could use one.

Thank you.

I recognize that watch.

It was a gift?

From Elizabeth, yes.

"Our time has come."

And yet it never came.

That's in the past.

Elizabeth changed her mind.

She followed her heart.

I don't resent her for that.

But it changed something in me.

You know, it wasn't so long ago
I was standing at this bar,

hesitating to ask Mei on a date

because of some past heartbreak.

I was scared it was
going to happen again.

But then someone told me
not to miss my chance

when the right person
came along.

That sounds like good advice.

Given by a good friend.

It was you.
You were the one who said that.

Yeah, I got that, Mike.
Thank you.

Don't let your past
steal your future.

Have you seen Ms. Martell?

I have to give it to them.

The way Faith and Fernando
stepped in was impressive.

And their chemistry?
Quite convincing.

Sorry I missed it.

- You don't think--
- No, I don't.

- Do you?
- Not at all.

We're talking about the same
thing here, right?

Of course.

That we have chemistry.

Oh, tons.
And the real kind too.

Mmhmm. Who cares if
we can't fake it?

Yeah. What does that matter,
anyhow?

There's something
still nagging at you.

[sighs]

Well,

this story that you wrote,

about a Mountie
who returns a hero.

No wonder I couldn't
pull it off.

What do you mean?

I had him.

Christopher.

The evidence, everything-
everything we needed, and...

I just let it...

slip through my fingers.

Maybe that's why I feel like
such a fraud

in front of the camera.

I feel like I'm failing.
I feel like I'm failing you.

I feel like
I'm failing Benson Hills--

Nathan...

I've seen firsthand
how relentless you've been.

You can't compare yourself to

a fairy tale story or
a fictional character.

One who can't even talk.

[laughs]

The story isn't over.

Maybe it is
for our acting careers.

[both chuckle]

but not for this investigation,
and certainly not for us.

I, for one, can't wait to see
what the next act has in store.

You know,

I might have frozen in
front of all those people,

but out here,
where it matters,

I think the Mountie
gets the girl.

Definitely.
