Previously on When Calls the Heart...

Hi, everyone!

I’ll just have to ask your brother.

You’re gonna have to find him first.

He’s always at sea or some port half way across the world.

Casimir Shaw.

He shot you and Jeanette was there?

Find some place safe and stay there.

Goodbye, Jeanette.

Lucas.

Lily, your grandma said that you can live here

if that’s what you really want.

Thank you, Grandma!

Not a moment too soon, in my opinion.

Oh, I thought you were all for the resort.

Well, until the mayors made their public statement

opposing it.

That’s what swayed me, too.

If Lee and Maisie could agree it’s a bad idea

it really must be. -Mmhmm.

I hear this means the end of the towns merging.

No point being hip to hip

when you’re no longer dance partners.

Mm.

It seems your article is causing quite the stir.

I’ll be the first to admit it raises more questions

than it answers.

I don’t understand.

You wrote that Lucas shut down the resort

because it wasn’t financially viable.

Politician talk for

“I don’t want to tell you the real reason”.

Nathan and Henry seem to be quite preoccupied.

Bill too, ever since Lucas

cancelled the resort so abruptly.

Hmm.

There is something going on! I am certain of it!

Elizabeth, I know you and Nathan wanna get things just right,

but this is beyond slow and steady.

It’s downright trepidatious.

It’s not trepidatious.

There have just been a lot of distractions.

Tom’s visit, Nathan needing to focus on Allie.

Alright, well what’s holding you back now?

Elizabeth?

Nothing, I suppose.

The phone lines are down. As well as the telegraph lines.

Ned says the repair crew has to come all the way from Buxton.

Well, so much for modern conveniences.

Anything more on this Casimir Shaw?

Headquarters has issued a warrant for his arrest.

Well, attempted assassination on the Governor, that’ll do it.

There’s a territory wide alert, but still no sign of him.

So there’s really not so much as a photo on this guy?

He came out of nowhere a few years ago.

Word is that he controls the rum running in the northwest.

All we’ve got to go by is Lucas’s description of him

the night that he was shot. Heavy set, middle aged.

Well, that could describe a thousand men.

Types like that tend to stay hidden in the city.

It’s unlikely he’s gonna blow his cover here in Hope Valley,

but still... I wish Lucas would let me bring in reinforcements.

Lucas still wants to keep this quiet, huh?

Yeah.

I think Rosemary should know about this.

Uh, no.

No, if you tell Rosemary she’ll tell Elizabeth--

So you’re saying you haven’t said anything to Elizabeth?

No, why would I?

Right. Well, it’s not like you two are anything

more than casual acquaintances.

What’re you saying?

Well, it’s none of my business but you really do move

like molasses in January, pal.

You know, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You know, the last time I ventured, it...

it didn't go that well for me.

So I'm just-- I'm letting her take the lead this time.

Well, time is a finite resource, my friend.

Hi.

Hi.

Just who I was looking for.

I was actually hoping to see you, too.

Oh?

Yeah, I wanted to um...

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for being so busy lately.

That’s alright. Is there something going on?

Nothing I can’t handle.

But you uh, you wanted to see me?

Yes. Um...

I was wondering,

since we have Allie watching little Jack and Goldie,

and... and I need to take Sergeant out

for some exercise anyway, um...

Do you want some company?

If you’re sure you can get away.

I think I can get away. Yeah.

What do you say, meet you at the stables at 3:00?

I will be there.

Great.

*

*

Careful with that.

Going somewhere, Edwin?

I’m uh, taking an interview for a new position in Capital City.

You’re leaving us, are you?

Yes.

I see.

Nothing personal.

No, nothing personal about abandoning ship

when water’s coming over the side.

Rosemary’s article was kind, facts are facts.

Lucas didn’t get the job done and his approval rating

is going to be rock bottom.

We’ll see.

Hmm.

Let’s be frank.

Lucas stopped listening to me a long time ago

and you made sure of that.

No hard feelings.

To you or Lucas.

So long, Edwin.

Until the voters say otherwise

you can still call him “Governor”.

The thing is, the resort may have gone away,

but the shooting of the Governor

still remains a very active mystery.

A mystery in which Bill seems to have completely lost interest.

I know exactly what you mean.

I was hoping things would be a lot less secretive,

but Lucas has barely been out of that office

since he made the announcement.

I asked for a follow-up interview,

Henry turned me down flat.

- Huh.

Oh, speak of the devil.

Hmm.

So Edwin jumped ship.

I’m glad he quit.

Looking back he was always too focused on the next election.

I think I let that cloud my judgement.

Now you made the right choice by cancelling the resort.

Yeah.

I just wish I had done it sooner.

Well, the concept had merit.

You had no way of knowing that it was gonna get hijacked

in the way that it did.

Now, I mean, people are talking about your other initiatives

perhaps going the same way.

Well, we’re gonna have to rebuild confidence.

Can I count on you to help me do that, Henry?

Of course you can.

For myself, my biggest concern is your safety.

Nathan have any word on Shaw?

No, no. That man loves the shadows.

Well, let’s hope he stays there.

Because we have work to do.

Indeed.

I thought I might find you here.

Hello.

Hi, Lee.

I know we agreed to walk home together

but something’s come up.

Something?

More secrets.

Mmm.

Just taking the horses for a ride.

Horses? Plural?

Sergeant and Newton?

Oh!

They need exercise.

Of course they do. They’re horses.

One neglects equine exercise at one’s peril.

- One does.

Anyway, if you could please tell Allie I may be home late?

I will be sure to pass along the message.

Thank you.

Bye!

- So cute. - Yeah.

Oh, that’s pretty, Lily.

It’s Grandma’s house.

I’m going to give it to her when we visit on Sunday.

She’ll love that.

At Grandma’s we used to count the stars

outside my window at night.

Oh.

Your bedroom here doesn’t have

a very good view of the sky, does it?

Do you miss counting the stars?

Yes.

Excuse me.

You know, Cooper used to be afraid of the dark

when he was little.

Joseph made him a nightlight

that projected stars onto the ceiling.

We’ll see if we can find it.

That would be wonderful, Minnie. Thank you.

Anything for our Lily.

Thanks for doing this for me.

No problem.

It’s probably just the lever.

-It does get sticky. -Mm.

Oh my gosh! It’s from Beau!

Your brother?

Yeah, and he hasn’t written in ages.

Remember I told you he’s been at sea

with the merchant marines for years?

He travels all over the world.

Well, what does he have to say for himself?

Well, um...

He says all is well, many adventures.

He's mailing this from his last port of call...

Oh my gosh, he's coming to Cape Fullerton!

Really?

He’ll only be there for a few days.

I should go see him.

Uh, or we could both go.

You’d come with me?

Sure, I’d love to meet Bò.

Well, I think you’re gonna really hit it off.

And who knows when we’re gonna have the chance

to see him again?

Bill!

Come talk to me!

You and I both know that Lucas cancelling the resort

had nothing to do with it being financially feasible.

This is nothing you have to concern yourself about.

Excuse me?

I thought this was something we were both concerned about.

Especially because it’s all happened so suddenly.

Now Lucas barely leaves his office,

refuses to speak about it?

You and I shouldn’t be keeping things from one another, Bill.

We’re supposed to be a team.

You’re right, we are a team.

And a team doesn’t work without trust.

And in this case you’re just gonna have to trust me.

Trust you about what?

You have a visitor.

Sassafras! Argh!

Randall Rockwell.

What on earth are you doing prowling around Hope Valley?

I came to congratulate you. You scooped me this time.

I tried to get an exclusive with the Governor

but he said he was already working with you.

Well, that's one for me and about 500 for you, so...

I noticed that your article didn’t get into the specifics

of why the Governor scrapped the resort.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

That there’s more to the story.

Well, why don’t you just ask your so-called source

who seems to know everything about everything?

Or has it dawned on you that they’ve been sending you

on a wild goose chase this entire time?

The gun, Clayton Pike, Montague’s involvement?

Oh, so you have figured that out.

Randall, you really need to go to the police about this.

I have a better idea. Let’s do an exposé in print.

Together.

You and me?

I think we’d make good partners.

Well, I do happen to have a recent vacancy.

I come bearing gifts.

Every scrap of research I’ve collected

since my source first contacted me.

Maybe I missed something.

What do you say we find out together?

Good afternoon, Rosemary.

Governor, you remember my colleague, Randall Rockwell?

Colleagues now, is it?

I thought the two of you were the fiercest of competitors.

Oh, Rosemary gives me a run for my money, alright.

Why, Randall. Is that a compliment?

Surely you know how much I admire your work.

Well, as a matter of fact,

no, I had no idea.

So you wanted to talk to me about-

Yes, it’s about the shooting.

That subject is closed.

There are still so many questions that need answering.

It turns out a lot of what my source told me wasn’t reliable.

Lucas, the fact remains...

whoever shot you is still out there.

Rosemary, Randall, I am happy to discuss

any other issue with you, but not that one.

The dark days are behind us, my friends.

The best is yet to come.

What’re you doing here?

You’re supposed to be 1,000 miles away by now.

Lucas, you need to listen to me.

This is a nice idea.

I thought it would be the perfect place

to ask you something.

Ask me what?

What would you think if, instead of us going to Cape Fullerton,

we asked your brother to come here?

Um, sure. If he has time.

I’ve always wanted Bò to see Hope Valley.

Excellent.

Then I have a follow-up question.

Oh?

Well, as long as he's gonna be here...

I mean...

it may be years before you have family in town again...

Mike, I’m not sure I’m following.

Yeah.

Oh!

Mei, I love you more than anything.

I know this is sudden, but with Bò being here,

I don't know, the time just feels right.

Will you...

will you marry me?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I-- I don’t have a ring.

I don’t care.

Hi.

Hey. You made it.

Did you think I’d stand you up?

Well, I was worried there might have been some new calamity.

We do seem to have bad luck that way.

Yeah, we seem to get interrupted a lot, don’t we?

Our timing is not the greatest.

Or, my timing is not the greatest.

Nathan...

Nathan!

Could you come with me?

Is everything ok?

All good, the Governor just needs him.

Um, I seem to have jinxed things.

Go. I’ll see you later.

What is it?

There could be trouble. We need to find Bill.

Why are you here?

You’re supposed to be somewhere that Shaw can’t find you.

I told you, there’s no such place.

He did find me.

He was angry at first about the resort falling through,

but he still wants to do business with you.

You know that that’s never gonna happen.

Just listen. All he wants is a few favors.

Turning a blind eye here and there.

Right.

Just allow him to run his criminal enterprise

through the territory.

If you don’t cooperate with him he’ll destroy you

and this town you care so much about.

He’s on his way here.

Lucas... you’ve seen what he’s capable of.

I saw Ms. Aucoin come into down, thought there might be trouble.

-She says Casimir Shaw-- -Lucas!

They need to know, Jeanette.

Shaw is on his way here.

I’ll get word to Mountie headquarters to send some men.

In the meantime we should keep an eye on the roads.

You two lay low until we get this figured out.

I’ll get my gear.

Me too.

I’ll meet you at the stables.

Bill, you’re just in time.

Michael here and Mei are getting married.

Congrats, Hickam.

You wanna join us for a drink?

Another time.

Right now I need the two of you to come with me.

Why? What’s going on?

I’ll explain on the way.

Tell Gustav to shut this place down early.

Make something up, Hickam.

I’m sorry, Lucas.

It’s not your fault.

But if Shaw wants a fight, a fight he’ll get.

Here it is.

Oh, Joseph, it’s ingenious.

Yeah, but I was always worried about the candle.

Right, safety first.

Yes.

Ned, do you think we can wire up an electrical bulb?

I don’t see why not.

Hey, Ned?

When can we expect these phone lines to be back up?

Oh, it's hard to say.

The crew's out looking for the break now, so...

Is everything alright, Nathan?

Yeah, it’s fine. Nothing to worry about.

Casimir Shaw, the gangster, coming here?

Turns out he’s the one who shot Lucas.

Jeanette was there but he was threatening her, too.

What?

Lucas remembers everything.

You didn’t think to tell Rosemary?

Sorry, Lee, it wasn’t my call.

Lucas wanted to keep this quiet to avoid any kind of panic.

Telephone and wire are still out.

I need somebody to get to Buxton and call for reinforcements.

I’ll go.

Take my car.

Henry, take the south road.

Nathan, take the north road.

I’ll meet you at the junction to Benson Hills.

Lee, can you take the road to Buxton?

If you see anything fire off a few shots in the air.

Yeah, but I should tell Rosemary.

No, you shouldn’t. Governor’s orders.

Let’s saddle up.

Elizabeth!

What’re you doing back from your ride so soon?

We had to cancel.

No! Again?

Henry said that Lucas needed to see Nathan about something.

What is going on around here?

I don’t know, but it didn’t sound like it was bad.

No, did something happen between you and Nathan?

I don’t know.

I have been so happy thinking about a future with Nathan

that I suppose I convinced myself

that what happened between us in the past didn’t matter anymore.

I think it does.

-And I need to talk to him. -You need to talk to him.

You ready to head home?

Not quite yet.

Randall Rockwell blew into town wanting to be my partner.

With Bill freezing me out it’s a tempting offer.

Tell Allie I’ll be home shortly.

Will do.

I hate this.

I feel like a sitting duck. I should’ve gone with them.

Look, it’s not too late.

Give Shaw what he wants and then you’ll be out of danger.

You could negotiate a cut.

Think of all the good you could do with that kind of money.

Listen to yourself, Jeanette.

It’s just business.

Doing business with that man

goes against everything I stand for.

Lucas, what happened to you? Just be a little flexible.

It could be like old times.

Jeanette.

You remember what you told me

when we hit bottom back in New Orleans?

That we could be anyone we want.

I believed you.

What I want is to be a good man.

An honest man.

I’m not the person that you used to know.

I don’t care what they say, I can’t just sit here.

Nothing ahead.

Makes you question

whether Jeanette’s information is reliable.

Well, Lucas believes her.

What’re you doing here? You were supposed to stay put.

You do realize there may be a gangster after you?

Luckily I have you two to protect me.

Are you finding anything?

-I’m looking at your old leads. -Mmhmm.

A lot of dead ends.

Well, I didn’t have the benefit of a so-called source.

Who is he, anyways?

I can’t tell you.

I thought we’re partners.

We never met.

Everything went through the mail.

Are you telling me you went to print

without knowing the identity of your source?

I corroborated everything through the Mounties.

They were duped, as well.

This source has been manipulating everything

to cover up the truth of the shooting.

Which means...

What?

Your source might be the real shooter.

Or connected to the real shooter.

Do you really think so?

Randall? What’s wrong?

A few days ago my source sent me a letter.

A threatening letter.

Warning me to keep my mouth shut.

Wait.

Is that why you’re here?

You wanted to expose your source in my paper under my byline!

Rosemary, my family was being threatened.

What about my family?

Randall, you better start telling me everything you know

about this source right now!

But I don’t know anything.

Well, then start digging!

Tomorrow. I’m calling it a day.

Where are you going?

To warn the Governor that he’s still at risk.

Rosemary, wait. What’s this?

It’s just a hotel receipt. Why?

This is the letter my source sent me.

The handwriting is the same.

Jeanette Aucoin.

Who is she?

She’s an old flame of Lucas’s. Hell hath no fury.

I need to go tell him.

But...

Closed, my foot.

Mrs. Coulter.

Miss Aucoin.

I came to see Lucas.

He stepped out to deal with some business.

You seem upset. Is everything alright?

I’m fine. I should be going.

Was that Randall Rockwell I saw you with earlier?

I can’t imagine what he’s been telling you about me.

So you admit you’re his source?

Please, let me explain.

Please do.

Alright Jack, dinner is ready. Go wash your hands, please.

Yes, Mama.

Come in!

Allie, hasn’t Mrs. Coulter come home yet?

No, and I still can’t reach her. The phones aren’t working.

Should I be worried?

No, I’m sure everything’s fine. But I can go and check.

Why don’t you and Goldie stay for dinner with Jack?

I’ll be back soon.

Ok. Thanks.

I suppose that you and Randall have figured out

that I was there the night Lucas was shot.

We assumed his source had a connection to the shooting,

but no, we didn’t realize you were there.

I feel terrible about lying to Lucas, but I was forced to.

By whom?

Casimir Shaw.

The mobster?

When Lucas remembered we were both there that night--

Wait. Lucas regained his memory?

Just before he cancelled the resort.

I’m surprised you didn’t know.

Yes, well, um... me too.

Believe me, the last thing I would ever do is hurt Lucas.

That was all Shaw’s doing.

But you’re the one who threatened Randall’s family.

That was Shaw, too.

I saw the note. It was in your handwriting.

It came from you, not from Shaw.

Mrs. Coulter, meet Casimir Shaw.

Randall, is Rosemary in there?

She went across the street to find the Governor.

Are you alright?

I'm fine, it's just... today's been a lot.

I'm heading home.

Mr. Shaw, put that away.

Can’t you see you’re frightening Mrs. Coulter?

I’m afraid the Governor has failed to see reason.

So I’ll take care of him.

Leave him to me.

But the plan--

Plans change.

What’s the situation on the roads?

It’s one thing slipping into town on foot.

Getting out by car won’t be so easy.

Rosemary--

Elizabeth, run!

Elizabeth.

We meet again.

How much longer before we call it a day, gentlemen?

Well, we should at least wait

until the reinforcements get here.

Governor.

Mr. Rockwell.

Did Rosemary find you?

She did not. Why?

Look, Rosemary and I think we know

who was involved in shooting you.

Well, I think it’s best you tell us everything you know then.

Jeanette Aucoin.

Rosemary says you and she are past acquaintances.

What do we do with them?

Two hostages are better than one, don’t you think?

We’ll hit the road as soon as it gets dark.

Please, just let Elizabeth go.

Rosemary, too.

Unfortunately, my hands are tied.

I’m just following Mr. Shaw’s orders.

Aren’t I?

If you know Jeanette then you must know Casimir Shaw, too.

The rum runner. What’s he got to do with her?

He forced Jeanette to muscle the Governor.

I don’t think my source was being forced by anyone.

Look at these threats.

We matched the handwriting with the chit from the hotel

signed by Jeanette.

This is Jeanette’s handwriting, alright.

What if Jeanette wasn’t his victim?

What if they’re partners?

She’s been playing us.

It’s bigger than that.

Think about it.

No one’s even laid eyes on Shaw except for me

the night of the shooting. And Jeanette.

It’s fairly obvious who’s in charge here.

Whatever do you mean?

You’ve been calling all the shots, not him.

I don’t know who you are, but he is not Shaw.

Careful.

There’s such a thing as being too clever for your own good.

You can be anyone you want. That’s what I told her.

Who’d have guessed she’d take me so literally?

I have to hand it to you. You’re really quite brilliant.

There is no Shaw.

Jeanette is Shaw.

Bravo.

Jeanette and another guy have Elizabeth and Rosemary.

What?

No, no, no, no. We need a plan.

It’s dark enough. Time to go, ladies.

Where are you taking us?

You won’t get far. We’ll be missed.

I’m counting on it. That’s why we need you.

For insurance. Now, stop stalling.

Cherie.

Jeanette.

Or would you prefer Mr. Shaw?

I’m afraid you’re late to the party.

We were just leaving.

You can still get out of this.

He’s the one who shot me. Not you.

That’s right. I’m the one that saved you.

Stop, you idiot!

If it weren’t for me, that second bullet

would have hit your heart instead of your shoulder.

I owe you for that?

Yes, you do.

This doesn’t concern Elizabeth or Rosemary.

Let them go.

Don’t be ridiculous. We’re all involved in this now.

Put the gun down!

Nathan!

Hands up!

It’s over, Jeanette.

Not unless you want your Governor in one piece.

Bill!

Let me go!

Get your hands off her!

Get back or else!

--Come on!

There’s no escape, Jeanette.

Nathan, go!

Rosemary!

Bill, don’t.

Just go! I’ll only slow you down!

Up there!

We've got you surrounded!

Hold it!

Get out of my way!

Alright. Take it easy, ok?

I know you won’t shoot me, Jeanette.

Lucas...

Don’t make me do this.

Ok, let’s talk about this, huh? Think about it.

You give us some evidence on Jeanette

and I’ll go easy on you.

You don’t know who you’re dealing with!

My life won’t be worth a plug nickel.

I underestimated you.

You always do.

That’s why you had to become Shaw.

Because no one would take you seriously.

Including me.

A little late for apologies, don’t you think?

It’s never too late.

You’ve made some mistakes, sure. But this?

This isn’t you.

Don’t pretend to know me.

But I do know you.

I know the best of you, Jeanette.

Drop the weapon!

There’s no way out.

Drop the gun!

Are you sure you’re alright?

Yeah. You?

I’m better now.

Elizabeth!

Oh, goodness!

We’re ok. And you?

Well, considering I almost ended up a headline

not of my own devising. I’m fine, thank you.

I should check on the others.

Mountie?

Why did you come back here, Jeanette?

You could have carried on hiding behind Shaw.

No one would have been the wiser.

We all have our weaknesses, cherie.

How are your ribs?

I’ll live.

I should uh...

I know.

Nathan.

Be safe.

I could say the same thing to you.

After a night like tonight all I want to do

is count my blessings.

Everyone I care about is safe.

I know that, in time, thoughts of what could have been

will fade away,

but love will remain, as constant as the stars.

As much a part of our beings as a breath or a heartbeat or--

Hi.

Nathan.

What um, what happened with Jeanette?

They’ve taken them away to Capital City.

Oh, thank goodness.

Elizabeth, if something would have happened to you today--

But it didn’t.

But it so could have, easily.

I know.

Nathan, what you said earlier about bad timing...

That was a dumb joke, I’m sorry.

But you were right.

We both had bad timing.

Once you were ready and I wasn't...

Elizabeth, you don’t have to do--

Please just let me say this.

I’m so sorry for hurting you.

For letting fear get in the way.

If you only knew how my heart lifts when I think of you,

and I think of you often,

the way you’ve always been honest with me,

and gently encouraged me to be honest with myself.

The way you always seem to know

when there’s something on my mind.

The way your brow furrows when there’s something on yours.

You are a good man.

An impeccable man.

You are a man who looks distractingly good in serge

or suspenders.

It’s your eyes I look for across a crowded room.

It’s your heart that makes me feel brave.

You feel like home to me.

I couldn’t say it before,

I wouldn’t let myself.

So let me tell you now.

Nathan, I’m in love with you.

Say something, please.

I have never stopped loving you. Not for a single second.
