(heart beating)

- [Woman On PA] Dr. Bennett, to emergency, STAT.

Dr. Bennett, to the ER, STAT.

- [Woman] I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

(dramatic music)

Thank you.

- [Girl] Thank you.

- [Woman] Oh thanks.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you.

- [Girl] Bye.

- [Woman] Thank you for the service.

- [Man] Hey!

- Charlie, it's good to see you!

I didn't think you'd make it.

- I was outta town.

I came straight from the airport.

You doin' all right, Kiley?

- Hey, sweetie,

Would you go to the car?

Thanks.

- So?

(Hallie sighs)

- It's not easy.

After all those years on the Force,

nothing ever happened to him.

But then to end like this.

- Still believe all that,

he asked me to sell him some two-bit heat.

Tossed his house and when he

the guy panics and shoots him, you still believe all that?

- What are you saying?

- Your ex, the District Attorney, Paul Boyer.

- What?

- You ever see him, you talk to him much?

- No, not really, why?

- Not even when he comes to visit Kiley?

- His relationship is with his daughter, not me.

What's this about?

- Lou never trusted him.

- Well, I shouldn't have either.

- Hallie, there's something you gotta know.

Your dad could've have taken care of any cheap thug.

- Charlie, where's this going?

- This was a professional hit.

- What?

This isn't funny, Charlie.

- I'm not a funny man.

- Well, I don't understand.

What does this have to do with Paul?

- Listen to me.

Your dad gave me something to hold onto.

And he said if anything happened to him,

I should give it to you.

Not here.

I gotta go.

We shouldn't be seen together.

He was my friend.

You're my friend.

You call if you need anything.

(dramatic music)

- We're gonna stop at grandpa's on the way home, okay?

- Can I play on the computer?

- Yes, you can.

Keys.

(dramatic music)

- [Kiley] You said I could go on the computer.

- Of course.

(soft music)

I'll miss you, dad.

Kiley, I'll be just a minute.

(gentle music)

(tense music)

The head of the West Coast Syndicate?

Why is he with Chief Morales?

Judge Rutherford, Congressman O'brien.

Paul?!

Paul?

Dad, is that why you didn't take this to the FBI?

Because of Paul.

(tense music)

(car pulling up)

(doorbell ringing)

Don't open it.

- Daddy!

- Sweetie pie!

Oh, how is my princess?!

Oh.

- Kiley, I need you to go back to the computer.

Your dad and I need to talk.

- But, Mom, I haven't seen dad in ages.

- It's okay, angel.

Mommy and I will have a little chat

and then you and I'll do something, okay?

- What are you doing here?

- What did Charlie give you?

- What are you talking about?

- The cemetery.

After the service.

- Are you following me now?

- Come on, Hallie.

Neither of us have time for this.

What did Charlie tell you?

What did he give you?

- Nothing, just some old photos of him and Lou together.

He thought I might like to have them.

- Oh, baby, you were never a good liar.

- Certainly not in your league, Paul.

(tense music)

- I need to see those photos.

Where are they?

You don't understand what's at stake here.

If I don't take care of this--

- If you don't take care of what?

- They'll kill me and you.

And I'm not even sure if Kiley is safe.

(tense music)

- They killed my father.

- Of course.

You can't say no to these people.

What did Charlie give you?

Where is it?

I need it now. - Daddy.

Come over and see what I did.

- What did he give you!? - Daddy!

Daddy, come over!

- It's in my room.

Behind a painting above my dresser.

(suspenseful music)

- Kiley!

Come on, honey!

- [Paul] Hallie!

Hallie, open this door!

Open this, Hallie!

(banging on door)

- [Kiley] Why are we leaving?

- [Paul] Hallie, let me outta here!

(tense music)

- Why are we taking grandpa's car?

- Just get in, Kiley!

(tense music)

- [Paul] Hallie! (banging on door)

- Come on!

(suspenseful music)

Come on!

- Hallie!

Damn!

Dammit!

(gentle music)

(tense music)

(knocking on window)

- [Man] Roll down the window, please.

- No.

- [Man] What the hell are you doing on my property?

- Your property?

- There's only reason you'd be out here at the crack of dawn

and that's to scope out my stock.

Your partner shows up with a trailer,

and I'm short a couple of head.

- You really think we're thieves?

(gentle music)

- You could've missed the sign back there,

"Private Road".

- It was dark, and I was lost.

- Yeah, well, it's not dark now.

I'll show you how to get back to the main road.

- Something's wrong with my car!

That's why we had to spend the night here last night.

- Pop the hood.

It's says, "hood" on it.

There you go.

Turn it on!

Try again!

I can't tell what's wrong.

- Well, can you call a tow truck for us?

My cell's battery's dead.

- There's no reception out here.

- Great.

- I'll give you a ride into town.

- How far is town?

- 20 minutes in the truck, three hours on foot.

Look, I'm sorry I jumped the wrong conclusion.

I have a problem.

- Yeah, you do.

- Why don't we start over?

I'm Chance Colter.

- Hallie Brown.

This is my daughter Kiley.

- Well, it's nice to meet you, Kiley.

(dog barking)

This is Angles, he sort of lives in the truck.

- Uh huh.

How are we gonna do this?

- Angles, to the back, go!

(dog whining)

- Honey, don't!

- I'll go to the back.

Can you drive a standard?

- No, I can't. - Figures.

(gentle country music)

- Where's the town?

- You're lookin' at it.

Primrose Creek.

- You're kidding?

- This cafe's the heart of our bustling metropolis

and the only place open this early.

- Figures.

- So, you want some help?

- I'm fine.

- You sure?

- I'm fine.

- You sure? - I'm fine!

- Okay.

Never been in the back of a truck before, have you?

So, Ms. Brown, where were you headed?

- North.

A friend of mine has a house up there.

- Bye. - Yeah.

- Hey.

How's the search goin', Madge?

- How's this one sound?

I'm a cross between lonesome dove and George Clooney?

- Sounds to me like a man who doesn't know who he is.

- Eh, yeah.

- Excuse me?

- Heavens, Chance.

What have we here?

- Madge, this is Hallie Brown and her little girl, Kiley.

Their car broke down.

- You poor things look tired and hungry.

Come on, here, sit down.

- I really need to go to the bathroom.

- Yeah, sweetie, right around the corner there.

- Thank you.

- Okay, there you go.

- Okay, she'll have pancakes and a glass of milk

and just a cup of coffee for me.

- Nothin' to eat?

- Not hungry.

- Okay.

- So, where ya from?

- Los Angeles.

- Pretty far from Los Angeles.

Far from any highway, for that matter.

- Well, we wanted to take the back roads,

we thought it'd be more scenic.

- What do you do in LA?

- Okay, here you go.

- I went ahead and fixed you somethin'.

On the house.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Is there a hotel nearby?

- Afraid not, no.

You know, if you need a place to stay,

I think that Chance here has an empty rental house

on his property, don't you, Chance?

I mean, they could stay there for just a day or two

until their car's fixed.

What do you think?

- I guess.

- Yeah. - Sure.

- Thank you.

- Oh, well, if you're worried about this suspicious

looking character, don't be.

Look, I have known him forever.

And the worst thing he's ever done

is make really dumb jokes about my cooking.

- I'm a perfect stranger.

You trust me?

- Around here, we prefer to assume the best about people.

Not the worst.

- Really?!

(scoffs)

- Look, if it makes you feel any better,

I can put you to work.

I have a horse boarding there.

You can feed her for me.

Saves me the trip from going back over there

and doing it.

- I don't know anything about horses.

- They're animals.

They'll have to eat.

That's all you need to know.

- Just until my car's fixed.

- Oh, we should stop by your car and pick up your luggage.

- Don't have any.

Everything we need is at our friend's house.

- Traveling light, huh?

- Could you pass the syrup, please?

- Yeah, yeah.

Should eat before it gets cold.

(shrieks)

- Damn cowboy!

(groans)

- My cousin, Sarah, was living here.

She left a few days ago.

- Does the computer work?

- [Chance] Yeah, it's old, but it works.

- Can I play games on it?

- Sure, go for it.

And my number and others you may need

are on that list.

And my house is back down the road

we came from, just a couple hundred yards away.

Sarah left some things behind that may be

more appropriate than what you're wearing.

It's upstairs in the bedroom closet.

- Mr. Colter.

I am sorry for seeming rude.

I'm very grateful for all you're doing, thank you.

- You're welcome.

(sighs)

- When are we going home?

(dramatic music)

- I don't know, Kiley.

- Why did we run away from daddy?

- Can't explain it right now.

It's a grown up thing.

Listen, I don't want you to talk to anybody

about what happened, okay?

- Well, does he know where we are?

- No, no, he doesn't.

- But I miss him.

Am I ever going to see him again?

- Of course you will, sweetheart.

But right now, we shouldn't get in touch with him.

It wouldn't be good for him or us.

- That means you can't call him or email him.

You have to promise me, Kiley.

Otherwise, the computer is totally off limits.

Are we clear?

- Mom. - Kiley.

Promise.

- Okay, I promise. - Good.

It's just for a little while.

- I love you.

(Hallie giggles)

- I love you, too, little bear.

- For a city girl, you certainly look good in jeans.

- Well, they're a little tight but thanks.

- Oh no, they're not.

And you're welcome.

- May I go in? - Sure.

You better make sure you close these at night,

because we've had some trouble with cougars.

- Cougars?!

Well, they don't attack people, do they?

- Well, sometimes, if they're hungry.

But generally, they prefer livestock.

I'll leave a rifle for you.

- I don't want a rifle around Kiley.

- Okay.

Then you better make sure you don't come out after dark.

Here's what you do.

Take some grain from the barrel in the storage room.

Just put it into her bucket.

Get a little bit of hay, and just lay that at her feet.

And that's it.

- Why isn't she eating?

Is she sick?

- No, a cougar took her fowl a couple weeks ago

out in the pasture.

She's depressed.

(gentle music)

There's no reason to be scared.

She's, she's real gentle.

Tell you what, would you like to watch me

work with her later?

Come back after I finish my chores

and then maybe you can help me if you want.

- What exactly are you doing?

- Just tryin' to bring her back to the way she used to be.

She needs to move on from the loss.

- Maybe that's easier said than done.

- Yeah, maybe.

But we all have to do it.

- [Man] What's goin' on, Madge?

- Yeah, honey, I know!

Hang on a sec.

Okay, here you go, guys.

- [Man] Can I please get a cup of coffee?

- Okay, darlin' you wait right there.

Here we go.

Okay, have at it.

Hey, Hallie, my friend, Delores,

gave me some old clothes that her little girl outgrew.

They should fit Kiley.

- Aw, thank you, Madge.

That's really sweet of you. - Oh, and the mechanic was in.

He says your car needs a new alternator.

He's gone fishing for a couple days,

and he'll take care of it when he gets back.

He says it'll be about 500 bucks.

- [Man] Coffee, Madge, today?!

- Yeah, gentlemen, I have two hands, hang on a second.

You know what, I could really use some help.

If you wanna work here while your car's being fixed,

you could make enough money to tide you over.

- Somehow I doubt Ms. Brown

has any experience waiting tables.

- No, but I am a pretty good cook.

- Yeah, mom worked at a really fancy restaurant

back at home.

- I'm a chef, and I'd really like to take you up

on that offer.

- Great, well, as soon as you finish breakfast,

you can start.

Yeah, make a good showing and we'll get you on permanent.

- Just passing through.

- (chuckles) Yeah, you know what?

That's what I said 10 years ago on my way to get married.

And the marriage fell through.

This place was for sale.

I've been trying to find a reason to leave ever since.

- Well, how about that?

Now, you have a job and all.

I will see you ladies later.

(ominous music)

- [Man] I have pressures of my own.

I've been more than patient with you people.

You better not forget who pays your mortgages

and your expensive wives.

I expect something from you.

- [Man] Come on!

- Come on, CJ! - Yeah, yeah.

(man laughs)

- [Man] Come on now!

- Just don't worry.

I'll take care (music drowns voice).

(gentle folksy music)

- Wow, you really made me look bad today, Hallie.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a good plain cook.

But you, you do a lot more than fries and burgers.

- Well, I went to cooking school in San Francisco.

Yeah.

I always wanted my own restaurant.

- Well, you got a job here as long as you want.

Okay, how about this guy?

Has 200 acres and a new tractor.

Lookin' for a gal that looks good in jeans

and knows how to plow.

(chuckles)

Maybe not, eh?

That is too country even for me.

Ugh, love's a bitch.

Okay, how about this other one?

- Still cruisin' down the rocky road to romance, huh, Madge?

- [Madge] Men are dumb as dirt.

- So I hear.

How'd your first day go?

- Okay. - Are you kidding?

You did a lot better than just okay.

Hey, you know what?

Tell me what that thing was you made for the special?

- Coq au vin.

- Well, what happened to meat loaf and potatoes?

- Everybody loved it.

- I'll go get ready.

- I don't know where she came from,

but she has not been slingin' hash at some dive.

- Wonder even more what she's doing here.

And why she's broke.

- [Hallie] Kiley, come on, honey, let's go.

- [Kiley] Can I come back tomorrow, mom?

- Sure.

- Yeah. - Bye, sweet pea.

- Bye, Kiley! - Bye!

- [Girl] Bye, Kiley!

- So, you have fun? - Yeah.

- Good.

Andy said that your car's registered

to someone named Lou Waitlin.

- He's my-- - I bought the car

from him recently.

Hey, honey, it's gonna be fun to watch Mr. Colter

work with the pony, won't it?

- Actually, it's a horse,

but, it'll be fun.

Oh, and you can call me Chance.

- Chance, how'd you get a name like Chance?

- Well, a doctor told my mother there's only one chance

in a million she'd be able to have a child.

So, here I am.

(dog growls)

Excuse me.

So, Ms. Brown, are you married?

- Divorced.

(cougar growling) (horse neighs)

What was that?

- Cougar. - Mom!

- It's okay, honey.

It's just an animal.

Go on inside.

(tense music)

- Look, I know these make you uncomfortable,

but I'm gonna leave it here.

You may need the protection.

- I can protect myself and my daughter, thanks.

(tense music)

- Hey, Madge.

I heard you had a great new cook.

Everybody's talkin' about it.

- You ain't kiddin'.

Hey, Hallie, come on over here. I want you to meet someone.

Hallie Brown, Katie Stratton.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

- So, where are you from?

- California.

- Hey, Kate.

- Hey, Chance.

- Incoming.

- Hey, Katie, Chance.

- Jase. - Jase.

- How you been?

- Just fine.

- You know, I've been tryin' to get a hold of you.

- Yeah, why?

We don't have anything to talk about.

- We have a lot to talk about, Katie.

- Look, Jace, this isn't the time or place

for this conversation.

- She's right, Jace.

- Don't get involved, Chance.

- I'll call you, later. - Okay.

- Katie, wait.

Why is she calling you?

- Probably to talk.

- I think you and I should have a word outside.

- (scoffs) Come on, Jace.

You don't wanna do that.

- Yes, I do.

- Excuse me.

Come on, Jace, really? - What are you tryin' to do?

Get her back?

That's my wife!

- Well, you kinda forgot about that

for a while now, didn't ya?

- I made a mistake.

- You sure as hell did.

Haven't you made a big enough fool out of yourself already?

(Jace grunts)

(coughs)

You through bein' stupid for the day?

Katie and I are friends, Jace.

I'm gonna be there for her when she's hurt.

- I know there's no excuse for what I did.

I'd just give anything to take her back.

- Well, then stop pushing her.

Give her flowers.

Write a nice letter to her.

I mean, anything, just stop pickin' fights with your friend.

- All three of them were big buddies

all through high school.

Katie and Chance started dating,

until she went off to Nursing school,

And Jace at the Sheriff's Academy in the same town.

Well, one thing led to another, and before you know it,

Chance is out and Jace is in.

They were married within six months.

- Poor Chance.

- Yeah, he was devastated for a while.

But they become real good friends

and Chance is happy with that.

- So what ruined the marriage?

- Jace, he got the seven-year itch.

Oh, men are so stupid sometimes.

He dove head first into a sticky situation with a co-worker.

The thing got really messy, Katie found out.

And, well, that's where we're at.

Oh, he's as sorry as he can be,

but Katie's too hurt to forgive him.

- I don't blame her.

- No, not me.

- Have you ever seen (mumbles)?

- Kiley, time to go.

- Can I play on the computer when I get home?

- Yes, you can, but you know the rules.

- Yes, I do.

- Hey, you ready to go?

- Come on, sweetie.

Hey, see you tomorrow.

- Okay, bye.

- [Girl] Bye, Kiley!

- [Man] I know he's a retired cop.

So was the other.

So are you!

Now, I want you to fix it.

(talks faintly)

(tense music)

- Here we go. - Okay, sweetie,

what do we got here?

- [Madge] Oh, look at you! Aren't you fancy?

- Wait.

- Oh, isn't that pretty?

- Hello. - Hi.

I'm gonna get your bill, yes?

Hallie, sweetie, keep the register for me please?

Okay, guys you know the 923 is total enough.

It's perfect, perfect.

Boys, how we doin' here?

You guys are out?

Hallie, could you pass me the coffee, please?

- All right. - Thank you.

Guys, lookin' a little rough.

Big night last night?

You guys know what a razor is?

You got to use 'em once in a while there.

That's why you're single, gentlemen.

That's fine, a new look.

(lively country music)

(tense music)

- Retired Napa Heights police officer, Lou Waitlin, 58,

died from a gunshot wound sustained in a robbery

at his home.

(horse whinnying)

(tense music)

Kiley, I'm gonna check on Honey.

I want you to stay in the house.

- Okay.

(tense music)

(horse whinnying)

(horse snorting)

(horse whinnying)

Shh, it's okay, it's okay.

Shh, what is it, girl?

Shh.

Shh, it's okay, baby, yeah.

(horse whinnying)

What's goin' on, baby?

There.

Yeah.

(cougar growling)

It's okay.

(horse whinnying)

- Mommy! (cougar snarling)

(Hallie gasps)

- Get in the house and close the door!

- Mommy! - Do it, Kiley, now!

(horse whinnying)

(cougar snarling)

(growling)

(tense music)

(horn blowing)

(cougar snarling)

Gosh, did you see it?!

Did you see it!? - You alright?

Yes, it's gone. - Oh!

Oh, God!

Kiley! - Yeah.

- Yeah.

Oh!

Oh!

- Mommy, I was so scared.

Everything's okay now, sweetie.

Everything's okay.

It's okay.

How did you know?

- Kiley called me.

- Honey, you're so smart and so brave, thank you.

Thank you.

I need to spend some time with her.

Will you wait?

- Sure.

- [Chance] That wasn't very smart.

Going out there like that.

- I heard Honey.

She knew.

- She could sense the cougar.

That's what animals do.

You could have been killed.

- I know.

Tell me about Lou Waitlin, your father.

(tense music)

- How did you find out?

- Google.

(tense music)

- Lou was my step-father.

He was killed.

- Why didn't you just say so to begin with?

- I'm not having this conversation right now.

- You're scared, you're on the run, I understand that.

But you have to go to the authorities.

- I can't.

- Did you kill him, Hallie?

(sighs disgustingly)

- Of course not.

- You know who did.

Look, Hallie, I want to trust you,

but I can't if you won't tell me the truth.

You don't wanna talk to me, fine,

but maybe you should talk to Jace.

- No, please.

Please, Chance.

Not yet.

Look, I promise you I haven't done anything wrong.

I just need a little time.

Please?

- Yeah, okay, I'll tell her.

- That was Andy, the mechanic.

Said your car will be ready in a day or two.

- What about the bill?

- He said to take care of it when you can.

- You people are incredible.

- We just care about each other.

It's not a bad way to be.

- No, it isn't.

- [Paul] Here you go.

- (sighs) I don't like this.

I don't think I can do this.

- You can do this.

Look, the cougar could come back

when Kiley is out here playing.

Come on.

Take the butt of the rifle.

Put it right there, to the hollow of your shoulder.

That's good there, there you go.

Now, look right down the barrel of the rifle.

- Okay. - Squeeze

the trigger gently.

(gun fires)

It's not bad.

Come on, try again, all right?

(sighs exasperatingly)

You can do it, you can do it.

- Okay.

(gun fires)

I hit it.

- I see you did.

Told you.

It's a good shot.

Now, look, there's a Harvest Festival this weekend.

Would you,

I think you should come.

- I don't think so.

I don't want to leave Kiley.

- There'll be a buncha kids there.

Kiley'll probably have a lot fun.

- I'll think about it.

- You do that.

Come on, try again.

(gentle music)

- [Girl] Bye.

See you tomorrow.

- [Girl] Bye, Kiley!

- I think you should. (dog snarling)

- Aren't you getting in the front, mom?

(laughs mockingly)

- Yeah, right.

- Don't you love Angles?

- Good boy, Angles.

Good boy. - Yes, you are.

- Amazing.

You never see sunsets like that in the city.

- That's, it's not so bad out here in the boondocks.

- No, it's not bad at all.

- You know, my grandfather built all this

with his own hands.

When I was a kid, Katie, Jace and I

would spend nights out in the barn with the horses.

- Telling ghost stories.

- You got it.

The one about the claw and the door handle,

it still scares Katie.

(soft music)

(chuckles)

- You know, this really isn't fair.

You know just about everything about me

and I don't know anything about you.

- There isn't much to know.

(chuckles)

- A woman with an air of mystery, it's intriguing,

but you carry it too far.

- Not really, I'm just boring.

- I don't think so.

You see, this is how it should work.

I tell you something about me,

and then you tell me something about you,

and then I tell you a little bit more

And then you do the same and pretty soon,

we're both wondering, you know,

gee, what it would be like, you know, if we

kissed.

(gentle music)

- It's late.

I need to put Kiley to bed.

- Yeah.

It's late.

(laughs lightly)

See you tomorrow, Hallie.

(soft music)

(tense music)

(lively folksy music)

- Hallie, you made it!

- Yeah, yeah.

- Mom, can I go play with my friends?

- Sure, just stay where I can see.

- Yes, I will. - Come on.

(girl shouting)

You're gonna like this.

- This is adorable. - I know.

Isn't it cute?

We do it two to three times a year.

Watch out for the potato salad.

Depends on who makes it.

I would go for the one in the left hand side.

- Okay. - Come on.

- Oh. - Yes.

- Now, this is the inaugural punch.

Everyone has to have a little.

- Oh yes.

- Lori must have made the punch again this year.

Tastes like bath water.

- Huh, now I'm not sure if I wanna try this.

- You don't.

(laughs)

- Well, this will give you a good idea

what it's like to live here.

- Oh, I'm just here until I can pay off my car bill.

- I am so sorry to hear that.

I'm gonna lose half of my customers because of you,

you do know that, right?

Oh, I gotta go deal with Julian, excuse me.

- Well, hello, ladies.

- Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

It's good to see you here.

- Yeah, it's, a good long walk to get here.

(laughs lightly)

(tense music)

I never knew my biological father.

My mother never wanted to talk about him.

It was a lot of pain there.

- And Lou Waitlin?

- Lou came into our lives when I was eight.

He was my real dad.

And my mom died two years later of cancer,

so it was just him and me from then on.

Lou was proof that biology has nothing to do with parenting.

- You know what killed him, don't you?

That's why you're running scare.

- You know, it's a lot more complicated than that.

- Is your ex a good dad to Kiley?

Talk to me, Hallie.

- I can't.

- You don't have to run.

I'll help you stand and fight.

- My dad tried to fight these people.

And look what happened to him.

So, no, I can't talk about it.

(gentle music)

- You need to stop running, Hallie, from everything.

- What was that?

- What do you want it to be?

- Nothing.

- Liar.

- No, you don't know me well enough to make that judgment.

- I wanna hear the truth, Hallie.

And I wanna hear it soon.

(tense music)

(phone ringing)

- [Charlie] This is Charlie, you know what to do.

(beeps)

- Charlie, it's me.

I'm worried.

What's happening?

Is it safe to come home?

Bye.

(tense music)

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- [Kiley] Mom, can I go in the back and watch cartoons?

- [Hallie] Sure, half an hour.

- You see, this is why Primrose Creek

is a better place to live

than the big city? - Why?

- Well, down in Napa Heights, a retired police officer

was gunned down in his own home.

- Napa Heights?

- We don't even lock our doors here.

Down there, an ex-cop isn't even safe in his own home.

- What was his name?

- [Madge] Charles Long

- (clears throat) You're right, Madge.

This is a nice, safe place.

- [Madge] I'm tellin' ya.

- [Kiley] We're not going home?

- We'll talk about it later, Kiley.

- But-- - Later.

- I wanna go home and see dad

and I miss my friends.

(sighs)

- Don't you like it here?

You have a horse and new friends to play with.

Isn't so bad, is it?

- I miss dad.

I can't phone him and you won't let me email him.

- It's just for a little while longer, sweetie.

- You think he misses me?

- Of course he misses you.

- I'll see him again, promise?

(horn honking)

(tense music)

- It may not be anything.

I don't know what evidence she's got.

And I do understand what's at stake here.

I will find her.

But I need more time.

Please.

Just a couple of days!

(tense music)

- [Kiley] You are a party pooper!

- What?!

I'm gonna get you!

Come here!

Okay, here I come!

(tense music)

- I like my flower.

- Yeah.

Aw, here.

(both giggling)

Honey, give me the flowers.

I'll put them in water and you go wash up for dinner.

- Okay.

Mommy!

(vase breaking)

- Kiley!

- It's all right, it's all right. It's just me.

- You scared me.

- I know, I know.

Sorry, Kiley.

- What the hell are you doing?

- Trying to get some answers.

- You have no right to invade my privacy.

I had to find out what's going on.

I wanna help you, Hallie.

- Like this, by not trusting me.

Spying on me.

Gimme that!

- Give me a reason to trust you.

I mean, tell me the truth.

- Either you leave right now, or Kiley and I will.

Which is it?

- What, so you can run again?

That's how you ended up here.

- You don't know anything about me.

- You damn right I don't.

- I'm leaving. - No, you're not.

- Let go of me!

- No, I can't. - Let me go!

- I can't!

I'm in love with you.

(soft music)

- Are we eating now?

I'm starving.

- Yes.

In a minute.

(soft music)

- Can I help?

- She finally fell asleep.

- So, you think this proves a conspiracy?

- Yes.

These are important people.

Judges, politicians.

And this is Paul, my ex-husband.

He's the District Attorney.

Now you know why I don't know who to trust.

- Yeah, and why you have been running.

- I don't know what to do.

I just thought I'd get to someplace safe

and figure it out.

- Does anyone know you have this?

- Paul does.

- So, they all know.

- Chance, what about Kiley?

She loves her dad.

How is she gonna deal with this?

Her father's a criminal.

- She's gonna find out.

- I'm gonna have to tell her soon.

It's gonna break her heart.

- Hey, why don't you go upstairs?

Get some sleep?

I'm gonna sleep down here on the sofa.

- I'm not gonna run away.

- It's not why I'm staying.

- Thank you.

Good night.

- Good night.

Couldn't sleep?

- Hm-mm, you?

- Nope.

You don't have to be frightened.

I'm here.

- I'm not frightened.

I just want you to hold me.

(soft music)

(dramatic music)

- You don't have to do this.

- Yes, we do.

(dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

- Yeah, yeah.

All right, that's great.

Thanks, Jace.

That was Jace. He's gonna get here as soon as he can.

I'm gonna go feed Honey.

You guys wanna help?

- Kiley, wanna come?

- No, I'm gonna stay here.

(typing)

(tense music)

(phone beeping)

(tense music)

- Looks like your father's been putting this together

for quite some time.

- I knew something was wrong.

He was pre-occupied.

When I asked him about it,

he said he couldn't talk about it yet.

- Can you identify any of these men?

- That's the Chief of Police, congressman,

judge, my ex-husband, the DA.

- Look, if you had anything to do with this at all,

you better tell me right now, Hallie.

- If I were one of them, what would I be doing here?

- I don't know.

Maybe you ripped them off.

Maybe you threatened to expose them?

- Jace, she's not involved.

- [Jace] How can you know that?

- I know her.

- Look, Chance, I have to ask.

- I'm not involved.

- I believe you, Hallie,

but I don't know if this proves anything.

It's up to a court to decide that and

to be honest, this is way over my head.

- So, that's it?

You're not gonna do anything?

- What can I do?

I'm just a sheriff of Primrose Creek, population 1,280.

- Can you call the FBI at least?

- Yeah, I can do that.

Maybe they'll send out a regional agent,

take a look at this stuff.

In the meantime, keep it safe.

This nightmare will be over soon, Hallie.

You'll be able to go home.

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

- I'll feed my horses.

Why don't you and Kiley come with me?

- No, we'll stay here.

Kiley will wanna feed Honey.

- Yes, I do.

- We'll be okay.

- All right, I'll come back as soon as I can.

All right.

(car revving)

- Stay here.

(horse neighing)

(tense music)

Go to Chance's house as fast as you can.

Do not stop.

Do not come back.

I'll be there shortly.

- Why, what's going on?

- I'll explain it later, Kiley.

I want you to run as fast as you can

until you are with Chance.

I love you.

Now, go, go!

(tense music)

(Kiley panting)

(tense music)

(panting)

(tense music)

- [Kiley] Chance!

(tense music)

- Hello, Hallie!

(dramatic music)

You just couldn't leave things alone, could you?

You and Lou.

Well, you've caused some important people

some very serious problems.

- Paul, this isn't you.

We could go to the FBI.

You could turn yourself in and make a deal.

- There's no going back, Hallie.

I'd be dead before I could sign a plea bargain.

Give me that.

Get in the car.

You're coming with me.

- Paul, you're out of your mind.

What about Kiley?

- I can save Kiley.

She's not a threat to them.

Get in the car!

You drive.

- Drop it!

I'm very good with this.

Kick it away.

Get out of the car, Hallie.

You okay?

(gun fires) (Chance groans)

- Hallie!

Hallie!

He's still alive!

Come back or I will kill him!

(dramatic music)

- Chance!

- Get in the car!

- Paul! (gun fires)

- Chance!

Chance!

(dramatic music)

I'm so sorry!

Please don't die!

(police siren wailing)

- Keep it moving!

- [Woman On PA] Dr. Benson to emergency, STAT.

Dr. Benson, to the ER, STAT.

- [Man] Where we goin', ER one?

- [Man] Clear the way, please!

(woman talking faintly)

- [Woman On PA] Code blue ICU.

Code blue ICU.

- [Man] What's the status on room two?

Here we go.

- Hallie.

We wait out here.

- [Man] Ready?

One, two, three.

- Mommy!

- Oh!

Oh.

- She was so worried about you,

I figured it was best to come here.

- Kiley, I love you so much.

- I love you, too, mommy.

What happened?

Who's trying to hurt us?

- I'm gonna go find a machine

and get us some lunch out that way.

(dramatic music)

- What happened?

Why are you crying?

You okay?

(sighs)

(sniffles)

- I'm okay, sweetie.

(dramatic music)

Hi, cowboy.

- Hi.

- You gonna be okay?

- Yeah, they're sending me to Seattle

for two weeks of physio.

After that, I'll be as good as new.

At least that's what they tell me.

How's Kiley?

- Okay.

I had to tell her about her father.

- Everything?

- Enough for now.

She's a sad little girl.

- Yeah.

And us?

Where do we go from here?

- I'm going home.

(dramatic music)

I came to say goodbye.

- You're leaving?

- I have to.

- You don't.

Why?

I love you.

And I think you love me too.

We'd have a great life together.

- I'm not ready.

- Don't run scared again, Hallie.

(dramatic music)

- I'll try.

You've been good to me, Chance Colter.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Goodbye, Chance.

(dramatic music)

- Goodbye, Hallie.

- [Hallie] You're what?

- [Madge] I am selling and moving to Jackson Hole.

- [Hallie] Why?

- I met someone.

- Online?

- Nope, he's a trucker.

He's been coming here forever.

He was always flirting with me,

but I thought he was married.

Turns out he's a widower, oh, there he is

(laughs lightly)

You know, it's funny, isn't it?

I was lookin' all over the place.

And he was right in front of my eyes.

- Hi.

- [Hallie] What'll it be?

- What do you recommend?

- This.

Welcome to my fine establishment.

- Yours? - Yes.

I bought it.

- Madge told me she sold this place,

but she wouldn't say to who.

- I wanted it to be a surprise.

- Well, yeah, this is a surprise, all right.

- Chance!

- Hey, Kiley!

How are you? - I'm good.

How are you?

- I'm good.

- How's Honey doing?

She's not depressed anymore?

- No, no, not anymore.

- [Kiley] Good, can I see her?

- Sure, I'll bet she'd be very happy to see you.

- Okay, I can't wait.

I'm gonna go see my friends.

See you guys later.

- See ya. - Bye, sweetie.

- What a cutie.

- So. - So.

Congratulations. - Thanks.

Thanks.

It's good seeing you.

You look really good.

- Yeah, well, you know, you're a sight for sore eyes,

that's for sure.

I'm glad you're staying.

- Me too.

- It's a good town.

You know, it's a good place to live.

With a kid.

- I know what you're doing.

You're playing hard to get.

- Why, why would I play hard to get?

- Because...

You wanna ask me something.

- Would you marry me?

- No. - okay.

- Come here, cowboy!

(dreamy music)

(dog barking)

Oh, Angles!

Angles. - Angles.

Go get your own girl!

- He likes me now (giggles).

- You gonna answer my question?

- Oh, I do!

I do, I do, I do.

- You do what?

- I do wanna marry you.

- You're so lucky.

(Hallie laughs)
