Original subtitles

Previously on When Calls the Heart. I go on one little stakeout and you find more

trouble than the JLCs in a year.

Diane DeMarco loves trouble.

The path is permanently blocked.

If I'd have known that we... Hopefully we'll do better on this case.

I think we're off to a pretty good start.

Your uncle was in possession of some gold coins.

Oh Ernie, what have you gotten us into now?

I will be signing an executive order.

You're declaring war.

And that's when Algy the Great says, Algebra Zam, reveal your true identity.

So, solving for X, the answer is 33.

That is really coming along.

We were thinking, for our final project, we could do a whole series on books,

like a comic book version of Great Expectations. Or Macbeth, with lots of

blood.

Have you given any thought to how this project might make a difference in your

community? Uh, maybe it can help kids learn tricky subjects in a more fun way?

And it makes adults less suspicious of comics.

Okay, keep going.

Now, who is next?

Let's see.

Emily, would you like to share what you've been working on?

I don't really have anything yet.

Oh, well that's okay. It's lunchtime anyway.

Everyone, enjoy!

Emily, would you stay for a minute so we can talk?

Jack?

Is it time for school, Mama? Oh my goodness, Honey Bear.

Why don't you go outside and get some fresh air?

Hey, OJ.

Want to go play baseball?

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Thornton. I did have ideas, but... None of them seemed right.

Well, let's think.

You've been busy this year with Mr. Gowan's hazelnut business.

But that's a business.

I don't see how that affects the community besides giving them nuts to

eat. How about we meet at the orchard after school?

I'm sure if we put our heads together, we can come up with something.

Is she okay for lunch?

Absolutely.

So, how was your morning?

Oh, it was pretty good.

Actually, I got some interesting news.

Apparently, I've been promoted to chief constable.

Nathan Grant!

It's more of a change in title than anything, really.

That is amazing.

And quite the recognition after all your daring do with the garrison.

Honestly, I'm surprised Hargraves approved it.

How was your morning?

It was good.

The children are doing amazing work on their final projects.

Although I'm a bit concerned.

Little Jack fell asleep in class today.

You think he's coming down with something?

He wasn't warm.

I suspect he's staying up late reading comic books.

I was going to ask him if he wanted to go for a pony ride on Saturday.

Get away from those comic books. Get some fresh air. I think you'd love that.

I'll ask him.

Tell me more about your promotion.

Morning,

Governor.

I see you got the summons.

A legal abuse of office, profiteering, and fraud.

I'm being sued for creating a park. I know. It's ridiculous.

So you had nothing to do with this?

I no longer represent Arthur Jeremiah McGinty.

You finally cut yourself loose?

Well done.

What about your loan?

He's just letting it go?

I have three days to satisfy my debt, or the ranch is his.

Edie, I don't- Please.

It's not your concern.

I'll find a way.

We just need to figure out how to keep this from blowing up.

He's already blown it up.

Question is, how do we respond?

We have so much to discuss.

Two garrisons in present, both under interrogation. The Valley Voice is

standing by and ready to share. Yeah, well, I... Of course, the question on

everybody's mind, where is the gold? Rosemary... Well, ain't that just a

question?

Georgie.

Well, um... Inspector Georgia McGill, Financial Crimes. Bill calls me

Georgie. Oh.

Uh, I have heard so much about you.

Apparently you and Bill have quite the history.

Not to mention trapping Sonny Garrison by pulling out that coin during the

interrogation. Brilliant maneuver.

And you are?

Rosemary Coulter, Valley Voice.

Oh, a journalist.

Who knows classified information about an open investigation?

Well, not full detail, just information. He was very withholding. We appreciate

that, love, but this is police business.

Protocol, Bill.

I swear, if you were doing this to me again, shutting me out by trying to

protect me just when a story is starting to get good... It's not like that at

all. Now, you'll know what I know when I know it.

All right.

Remember, we're a team.

Yes.

Rosemary.

It's police business.

Sorry. Gotta go.

Take a look at this.

They're suing you over a park.

Well, we knew McGinty was against shared land use, but I didn't think the

ranchers were going to go this far.

He's got his hooks in them.

I'm assuming this is one of Miss Martell's brilliant ideas.

She no longer works for McGinty.

So, she finally chose a site. Good for her.

Yeah, and she's going to pay the price for it.

So I'm going up there. Heck yeah, you are. Hold on.

There's no point making this worse.

I'm not going to take this lying down.

At least let me go with you.

Keep things civil.

That's a good idea.

Fine.

Thank you.

And we're making hazelnut cookies, hazelnut butter, hazelnut brittle.

That's the new one. Mmm, sounds delicious.

Does it bring your teacher to work day?

We are looking for ideas for Emily's final project.

Well, she's got plenty of ideas inside us there. Well, it's going to make sure

that we have a real surplus next year. I put it on the roots of the trees. It

protects them over the winter.

We had an early frost this year. Could have lost a lot of the saplings, but

we're looking real good now.

Well, that was a very clever idea.

I read about it in Agricultural Business Magazine.

Where did you get all of it? From Mr. Coulter. He was happy to give it away.

He says he's just dumping it.

So you are helping Mr. Coulter avoid polluting and finding a use for the

waste.

Yeah, and she's helping us with our trees, too.

That sounds like a project that's making a difference in your community.

I guess it does, but...

How do I connect that to math and history and literature?

Let's see what you come up with.

Okay. I will.

This could be good.

She's a bright girl.

She has an excellent mentor.

I think you meant teacher.

And a smidge of nutmeg. What is a smidge?

A little more than a pinch.

What are you making?

Butter tarts.

Or torts from the Hickam family cookbook.

Yes, Hickams are really better known for our cooking than our handwriting.

Any chance that says walnuts and any chance you have some despair, Minnie?

Joseph doesn't care for them, so I don't keep them around.

Mmm.

Mmm. But that's delicious, even without the nuts.

It is just butter, sugar, and flours. It's hard to mess that up.

I thought it reminded me of something.

my grandmother's mooncake recipe.

It's basically the same ingredients, only with lotus paste and almonds

instead of walnuts. She'd make it every fall for the Harvest Festival.

So why don't you make both? Ooh, mooncakes and butter torts? Or tarts?

Aw, are we mixing our traditions into one tradition?

Our own fall welcome dinner.

Sounds wonderful. Count us in.

What sounds so wonderful?

Well, Mike and May are making mooncakes and butter tarts as part of our harvest

celebration. Yeah, it's more of a little dinner. Oh, I can make moon spell

cookies. They're from Samhain, the Gaelic harvest festival. Let me know

when it is. Well, maybe Joseph and I can think of something to make.

Oh. Are we throwing a harvest festival?

I was hoping for something a little more private.

We haven't had a lot of alone time lately.

Well, you know, my family used to throw a togetherness meal the night before the

festival. Maybe we can do that instead.

Just the two of us?

That sounds wonderful.

And then we can get the nuts from the mercantile and anything else we need.

Oh, dear.

Can you read that?

Raccoons? No, sorry. Raisins.

Oh, there.

Mr. McGinty.

Constable? Governor?

To what do I owe the pleasure?

I think we both know.

You haven't come all this way about a lawsuit.

From what I hear, the governor spent plenty of time on the wrong side of the

law.

I wouldn't take it upon yourself to preach to me about the law, A.J.

I know what you did to those ranchers.

And now you think you can just outright steal Miss Martel's ranch.

She reneged on her contract.

a contract negotiated in bad faith.

Constable, I'd like a restraining order against Governor Bouchard and Edie

Martell. On what grounds?

Neither the governor nor Miss Martell are to set foot on the Martell ranch

after I reclaimed it.

What do you have against her? Easy, easy, easy. He's not worth it.

Thank you, Constable.

I was shaking in my boots.

The very boots you...

your daughter mysteriously recognized.

What are you talking about?

Your daughter has a habit of poking into places she doesn't belong.

Trespassing comes with a hefty fine.

Trespassing? Allie... Allie wouldn't trespass. Oh, yeah? What about all those

maps her and her boyfriend made showing up all sorts of details of my private

property? I believe $25 to be paid to the injured party.

Leave Allie.

You want to add attempted assault to the family charges?

I'd take cash or a check.

I'll expect it within the week.

Now, get off my land.

So it's true.

You knowingly went on his land.

We were doing research.

We needed to test the stream.

We?

Oliver didn't want to do it.

It was all my idea.

Good. At least one of you had some sense.

Allie, I know that you thought that this was okay and that nobody would see, but

this McGinty, he can cause a lot of trouble.

I'm so sorry, Dad.

I'll pay the fine.

I'll make it right.

I promise.

Allie, I didn't...

Oh, I'm afraid we don't have any lotus

paste. And we're all out of walnuts and almonds. We could special order them,

but it might be a few weeks.

What are you making?

Mooncakes. It's a dessert served at the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.

We're starting our own fall tradition.

Mm-hmm. Just us, though.

And, uh, well, I was going to make butter tarts, or torts.

We're having trouble reading the recipe. I thought Molly said you were organizing

a harvest festival.

She did?

She said everyone should make their favorite fall treat. Mm-hmm. Minnie sent

me to get ingredients. She has several ideas she'd like to try out.

So, where's the big event?

Oh, it's really more of a small dinner. Yes, a togetherness meal. Like, maybe

just the two of us together.

It's nothing special.

You know, Hope Valley has plenty of hazelnuts. Oh, that might work for

mooncakes. Oh, well, maybe I could put the hazelnuts in my butter tarts. Or

torts. And I think I could use hazelnuts in our recipes as well.

We could have a whole hazelnut harvest festival togetherness meal.

What do you say?

In the spirit of togetherness.

Amen to that. I will put up some flyers around town. We'll tell everyone to make

a family recipe.

We gotta get to picking.

Okay.

Mountie, Nathan thought you two could go riding this Saturday morning.

What do you think?

Okay.

Well, that didn't sound very convincing.

What's going on, Honey Bear?

Cooper and Toby said I can play baseball with them Saturday.

And I'm not sure I want to go riding.

Well, you can play baseball if you'd rather do that.

I don't want to hurt Auntie Nathan's feelings.

I think you are a very sweet little boy.

But you don't have to do things just to make someone else happy.

Can I have a cookie instead of these apples?

Sometimes you have to do things to make your mother happy.

And eating healthy snacks is one of them.

Emily, your book arrived this afternoon.

Rush order.

Must be important.

It's a book on the uses of sawdust. It's for my school project.

You can do all kinds of stuff with it, and people just throw it away.

You know, Elizabeth said you have a real mind for business.

Bet you could turn that into a career, eh? Who needs college?

What do you mean?

Well, all the applications went out yesterday.

Angela was in here just under the wire for Schwartzman School.

Oh, right.

Of course.

I've just come from Granville Prison.

Sonny is very willing to make a deal, and he was very forthcoming, especially

about your involvement in the 1907 robbery.

My what?

I didn't do anything. I was only the lookout.

Woody.

You just confessed to being an accessory to a crime.

And that's the same thing as doing the crime.

Dang it.

You tell us where that gold is, and I might be able to make this easier on

you. I wish I knew. I just had the map.

Jake slipped it to me in prison and told me to keep it safe till he got out, but

then he died.

What did Ernie Martell have to do with this?

Who? If you had the map, why wait all these years? It wasn't like that.

The night of the robbery, Jake blindfolded us and we went out into the

woods with a lantern, dug a hole and buried the gold.

Only Jake knew the way there.

He didn't trust his own brothers with it.

Would you?

Man, I can't believe I'm going to prison and we still don't have the gold.

Do you have a minute?

For you, Allie? Of course.

I just wanted to see if it's not too late to change my final project.

What about your wolf project? You've been working on that for months.

I know, but it's causing all these problems for my dad and the park, and

I just want it to go away.

What kind of problems?

I trespassed on Mr.

McGinty's land when we... when I did the water tests.

He figured it out when he saw our maps, and now I have to pay a fine.

Did you cause any damage, or...? No, but I knew I shouldn't have gone there.

And now he's suing the governor, and my dad's in trouble, and maybe the park

will be in trouble, too. Hold on.

Aren't the ranchers the ones who are polluting the stream?

Yes, but I did trespass.

And it's important that you take responsibility for that.

I'll tell you what.

Let's go talk to your dad together.

We'll find a way to pay the fine.

And let's also talk about Mr. McGinty taking responsibility for what he's

doing.

Sound good?

Alright, let's go.

Me? A soloist in the choir?

I couldn't. But if you're serious, I could. I have been practicing a little

take of Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Hallelujah.

That's it.

Thank you.

Wonderful. You're in. Oh, my gosh.

Just like that?

Well, things move fast here in Hope Valley. There's a lot going on.

There's Ava and there's the Garrisons.

Speaking of the garrisons, I heard you spoke with that cousin that showed up.

Oh, sure did.

Did you, by chance, happen to pick up on where the garrison's hidden stash of

gold is located?

Well? Yes.

No.

Hickam, that is not helpful.

May I get you a cup of tea?

Make that two teas, please, Mike. Oh, gladly.

May I just say...

Thank you so much to the both of you. I will not let you down.

Our next soloist.

Oh, he seems so happy. Well, it's nice to be included.

I tend to agree.

It is not nice to be excluded.

No, it's not.

Is there something you'd like to share?

I'm all ears.

Minnie, I'm being boxed out of my own investigation.

Bill and this Inspector McGill. All in the name of police protocol.

Well, if it's protocol, at least you know it's not personal.

Isn't it always?

You said it's your investigation.

Anything stopping you from doing it on your own?

No.

I guess there isn't.

Minnie, you are a genius. Thank you. Oh, enjoy the tea.

Hey. Thank you.

So,

tell me about your solo.

Oh, a solo.

Well, I played my cards pretty close to the vest, so I don't think Rosemary

picked up on it, but I had been hoping for this opportunity.

I was thinking Hallelujah from Handel's Messiah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Ooh.

Dad?

Allie. Allie told me about the trespassing charge.

Right. And this is all because of my school assignment.

If I hadn't encouraged her to go out and explore without supervision... That's

not... No, I knew I wasn't supposed to trespass. Allie. Yeah, I'm with Allie on

this one.

It was me, too.

I was there.

Yes, and that's a different matter.

But... But I'm sorry to interrupt.

Mr. McGinty's using one small violation to hide a bigger one.

What do you mean?

Our maps showed access to another pasture.

One where the cattle wouldn't have to cross the stream.

Yeah, no, we know that.

But access to that pasture was blocked with fallen trees.

Well, I can prove those trees didn't fall there.

They were chopped down and moved from someone else's private land.

How do you know?

Because they're ash trees.

Holy... You're a genius.

I missed something.

I think I did, too.

Ash trees only grow in one area, Lee Coulter's property.

It's part of my final project.

And you can prove this?

I can.

Oh, and also, the Mountsy Handbook allows trespassing if it's in legitimate

pursuit of uncovering a crime, so...

Oh, hi, Rosemary.

Is Lee in by chance?

He should be back in a few minutes.

You're welcome to come in and wait.

About Georgie. Last name McGill.

25-year career as a civilian investigator with the Financial Crimes

Division. A record 39 high-profile convictions.

Graduated with the highest honors from the Forensics Academy.

You see, Bill, I can do my own research.

I see.

I wasn't trying to shut you out.

We needed to interrogate Woody.

Will?

Oh, we didn't get anything we didn't suspect already.

The Garrisons did not know Ernie Martell.

And do we know where the gold is?

Oh, we're still working on it.

Hey, Bill. Oh, Lee, uh, you got a minute?

Yeah. Something I need to talk to you about. Of course.

Will, I have...

A lot to do, so I will leave you two to talk.

Hmm.

Everything all right?

It's hard to tell.

A.J. McGinty.

You ever done business with him?

Well, I wouldn't trust McGinty with a 10-foot pole.

Far more trouble than he's worth.

It's been brought to my attention that someone is stealing your trees.

And that someone goes by the name of A.J. McGinty.

I'm listening.

Mrs. Thornton?

Emily! Are you okay?

Sorry to bother you. You're no bother. What's the matter?

I missed the deadline to apply for Teachers College.

I was so distracted, I completely forgot.

Oh, dear.

Well, maybe we can contact the school.

They might make an exception.

Maybe.

Emily.

Why don't you tell me what it is about teaching that excites you?

Honestly, I'm not even sure if I'm good with kids.

I think I just wanted to be like you.

Can I tell

you something?

This isn't where I was supposed to end up.

My family had a very different plan for me.

follow my heart and take a different path, but I am so glad that I did.

And your future should be yours to decide.

If I've learned anything this year, it's that you have a mind for business.

You figure things out that no one else sees.

Maybe you could assist some of the local businesses in town.

See how they work and come up with your own ideas.

That sounds interesting, but changing my mind would be embarrassing.

I don't think following your heart is embarrassing.

I think it's exciting.

Judge Avery.

Arthur. Thank you for coming.

Henry. What are you doing here?

I'm just observing.

Good. You two know each other.

What's this about?

Does this mean anything to you?

Why would it?

It's the branch of an ash tree.

Ash trees.

Lots and lots of ash trees, all chopped up and stuck in a gully, conveniently

blocking access to the old pasture.

Why would anyone bother to do that?

You can drag this thing out as long as you like, but the jig is up.

We have proof and an eyewitness willing to testify to being blackmailed.

And I think those cattlemen will probably believe her, given that you

tried to pull the same thing on them.

Now, I personally would love to try this.

You won't touch me, because I'll take those kids down with me.

Hey, fellas.

Sorry I'm late. Lee, perfect timing.

I was just about ready to ask Arthur if he was aware that there's only one place

in our valley where ash trees grow, and that's the private property of Coulter

Lumber.

Now, Lee, did you by chance sell the logging rights to your land to this man?

Interesting that you would ask, Bill, because I don't remember doing any such

thing. Although I'd be happy to if we can come up with a fair price.

Now, Lee, this man stole from you. You have a right to press charges.

Yes, I do.

But I don't think anybody here wants to get tied up in a bunch of lawsuits or

have the Mounties brought in.

So, I think if you three put your heads together and come up with a deal...

I'm sure I'll be good with it.

All right.

Great doing business with you. Thanks, fellas.

Let me guess.

You want to make the trespassing go away.

Myself, I'd like to see it all go away.

The trespassing, loans, foreclosure, and the Martell Ranch.

Then you could just walk away without a worry in the world.

It's a better deal than you deserve.

Hi, everybody.

Welcome to our first ever Hope Valley Hazelnut Harvest Festival.

I would first like to thank the Hickams, Michael and May, for coming up with such

a wonderful idea.

There are many harvest festivals around the world. There's the Feast of Saint

Martin in Bavaria called Oktoberfest.

There's also the Hindu tradition called Diwali, which is about the spiritual

triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance.

Now, whatever our faith, community and friendship are the food for our souls.

Can I get amen?

Amen. Amen.

Well, let's eat.

Thank you, Michael.

I know I talked you into this.

I hope it's okay it isn't just the two of us.

I love being here with everyone.

It's just, oh, I was looking for more of a private moment to give you this, but,

uh, what the heck.

We're going to Niagara Falls.

What do you say?

You want to give her a honeymoon, a second chance?

Yes.

I haven't made these in an age.

Try one.

Oh,

delicious.

What are they? They're called moon spell cookies.

Well, they're working.

It's hard to celebrate when there's so much to worry about.

I want to say that about this whole McGinty situation, I played my part too.

If I kept my cool when he threatened you, it might not have gone this far.

You defended me?

Yeah.

I knew that your heart was in the right place.

Thanks, Dad.

Hello, everyone.

Hi, Bill.

You are officially in the clear.

All charges have been dropped.

Really?

I hope it was more stick than carrot.

Well, the stick did the job.

Thanks to Oliver's evidence, we had him dead to rights.

You see, it might take time, but justice always wins out.

Sometimes it takes a bit of a nudge.

Excuse me, Rosemary.

Inspector McGill.

Call me Georgie.

I hope it's all right that I've come. Bill invited me. Yes, of course.

Welcome, Georgie.

Is this your little girl?

Yes.

Yes, this is Goldie, and this is my husband, Lee. Hi. Hello.

Oh, she is a cutie.

I just wanted to thank you.

Bill's been telling me how much you helped with the Garrison Gold case.

Oh, he has, has he?

Well, I hope he also told you that everything we did was completely

journalistically, legally, by the book.

Mostly. Oh, mostly.

And I understand you might have made it into the book.

The DeMarco Maneuver, he's calling it.

Creating a new character out of whole cloth.

My hat is off.

Well, I... The DeMarco Maneuver, that's what he called it. I like it. You know,

we would not be where we are now if it wasn't for your help.

Can I quote you on that?

Yes.

Fantastic. Ned, get a seat.

Hey, Jack.

Come here.

I've got something for you. I hear you like baseball.

And this used to belong to me when I was your age.

And I want you to have it.

Thanks, Mount Jason.

You're welcome.

I thought we could practice throwing and catching later this week.

Look what Bounty Mason gave to me.

Nice try.

Well, it didn't come with any obligations.

I know it might not feel this way, but the fact that he was willing to run off

like that just means that he's comfortable with you.

Well, I take it with pride.

Speaking of pride, I really admire what you said to Allie.

It's not easy to take responsibility like that.

And it's very appealing.

It's a lovely town you've got here, Avery.

You put on quite a show.

Who would ever want to leave?

I have a train to catch.

Hargraves wants a debrief.

I'm sure he'd love to hear your take, if you wanted to come with me.

I can't. You have a life here, friends, a partner in crime solving.

Oh, she is a spitfire.

You know, even when we were back in school, you always treated women with

such respect.

It's one of the many reasons why I... You what?

Why I felt the way I did.

The way I do.

Anyway...

Case is still open, so chances are I'll be back at some...

Georgie,

I... Me too.

Bill. No wonder.

No wonder you've been acting so odd and trying to push me out.

What?

Well, you're in love with Georgie.

Well, I don't... Well,

maybe you're right. Of course I'm right.

So when do you think you're going to get to see her again?

I guess it depends on how this case goes. Well, I guess we're going to have

to solve it so you can impress her. She'll have to come back.

Now, I want to know everything. And start at the beginning. I want to know

what Woody said verbatim. Maybe I can sniff something out that the two of you

missed. You know, impress Georgie. Hmm?

What do you think?

Smitten, Bill? I don't know what to tell you. This Georgie McGill brings

something out in him.

Now... I'm too discreet to speak out of turn.

But I may have witnessed a moment between the two of them. Oh!

I'm happy for him.

Oh, look who it is.

Perhaps now you will give me a statement on this McGinty kerfuffle.

Oh, um... Mrs. Thornton!

It's Little Jack.

He disappeared.

What do you mean he disappeared?

Well, uh, we were playing baseball.

And Jack chased after a fly ball when it went into the woods.

And then he was just gone. Well, we looked everywhere.

Jack doesn't wander.

Show us where you last saw him. I'll go get help. Thank you.

Lee.

Hurry. Okay.

Jack!

Jack!

He's still breathing.

He's still breathing. Thank God.

We should get him to the infirmary.

It could be dehydration, but I still want to run some tests to be sure.

Is there anything else you can tell me?

Any unusual behavior?

I mean, he's been drinking a lot.

He fell asleep in class, although that's not unusual behavior for children his

age.

Jack, how are you feeling?

I'm hungry.

Can we go home and have dinner?

And he's always hungry.

Mama, I'm sorry I got lost.

You don't have to be sorry, honey bear.

All righty. Here is some aspirin.

Thank you, Mae.

So, Jack, since you're feeling much better, I'd say there's no sense in

keeping that appetite waiting.

Let's get your shoes on.

Thank you.

Uh, Nathan, where was he when you found him?

He's in the woods.

Your kid said that he was chasing after a fly ball.

Looks like he collapsed.

Hmm.

Um, Elizabeth, I should have the test results late tonight.

I'll let you know right away. Thank you so much.

Of course.

Say thank you. You too.

You

think

it's dehydration?

That would be my best explanation at this point.

What else could it be?

Heat stroke?

Diabetes? Oh, no.

He doesn't have all the symptoms, but I still think we should get those samples

to Buxton right away so that they can start running those tests.

I can go.

All right, Honey Bear, you go rest on the sofa while I clean up.

What about dessert?

You ate so much dinner. How do you have room for dessert?

I'll see what I can put together.

Is there anything else you want to tell me about today?

About how you were feeling when you went looking for that baseball or other

times?

Sometimes I get dizzy.

It's a little scary.

I bet it is.

I won't let anything happen to you.
