Original subtitles

It's a mistake, pure and simple.

Dad, it's gonna be fine.

It's gonna be better than fine. I know it.

That place is a dead end.

I think you'd actually be surprised how we've turned it around.

But if you sold all that land

you'd have enough for a nice place in the city.

And you're a city mouse, Daniel, not a country mouse.

Thanks for calling, Dad.

I mean it. It's great to hear your voice.

I... I appreciate the concern.

I see.

Try and enjoy yourself over there in Ireland.

We'll talk later, okay?

Yeah. Right.

Grampa O being Grampa O?

Yeah. I mean, besides him calling three times in the last two weeks

which is beyond weird, yeah, he's...

being his lovable ol' controlling self.

So, good news: he's taking an interest.

Bad news is that he's wrong.

Okay, if only he could see what we see in this place. It's...

it's beautiful. It's exciting. It's...

that.

Go. Make some magic.

I wish I could find her.

A drive-in movie, that's cool.

A red, heart-shaped pillow

frozen dinners.

Green scarf.

Yeah. And a highway intersection.

It's Route 4 in Ashton Hills.

I know this place.

It's accident central.

Trees, winding road, bushes.

Well, none of that matters.

- You have opinions? - I have opinions.

These are the most obvious clues I've ever seen.

Frozen dinners?

Mystery meat

plus instant mashed potatoes

plus apple skudge dessert?

Only single guys eat those.

I'm feeling a bit othered.

I'm feeling it for you.

We sell them at the store because

single guys come in all the time

for bait, nails, frozen dinners.

It's like one-stop shopping.

Yeah, okay, if we buy all that

what about the rest?

Hello?

A red, heart-shaped pillow?

I wish I could find her?

Classic single guy looking for love.

It is a possibility.

Possibility? It's a slam dunk.

What about the drive-in?

The only one in Emerald County closed

like, forever ago. I think

we should check out that clue.

Okay. What if it's a single guy

looking for love who likes movies?

- Good call. - Maybe. Yeah.

Okay. Let's hit

the town's biggest movie collection

and see who customer number one

who's looking for love, is.

You know, the stakeouts they do on TV

are usually a lot more thrilling than this.

Yeah, they're always looking for, you know, suspected killers

or international operatives or something.

Yeah, like not...

- Rom-coms. - Hey.

Will you two be quiet?

Okay, our movie-loving wisher

could be anywhere.

Sorry. I missed lunch.

- Sam. - My foot's asleep.

Mina.

The Art of Spy Craft

Social Sciences, 327 to 328.

I just thought maybe you could use

some pointers.

We're looking for

a big lover of movies, Mr. Brody.

Any ideas?

Oh, I know who you might mean.

Yeah, he loves movies.

He collects vintage posters

and he knows his DuVernay

from his del Toro.

He borrows about ten a week.

The collection can barely

- keep up with him. - Perfect.

That's great.

Can you tell us who it is?

No.

Why not?

Privacy.

People should get to use the library

as they please, away from prying eyes.

You can't even tell us what movies they've borrowed?

Not a chance.

Although the junior sleuths among us may want to pay attention.

- Oh, sorry, sir. - Sorry.

Hey, Greg. Ooh.

Another haul of movies to watch. You all good?

Yeah, good to go.

Houseful of kids, you gotta keep 'em occupied if you value your sanity.

- Hey, kids. - Hey. Hi there.

So much for your lonely-guy theory.

Okay, no, no, no. Then it has to be someone else.

But who?

There is another possibility.

Old Spencer Abelard

bought the remains of the Starlite Drive-In.

Maybe ask him?

The junk guy.

Thanks, Mr. Brody.

Well, if there's anyone who's definitely for sure single, it's him.

Let's hope he's actually there, and not his scary niece, Dee.

Oh, no. There she is.

I have an idea.

You know what? That's funny 'cause I also have an idea.

Hey. Why do I always have to talk to the scary people?

Because you're so good at it.

Better than good, Sam, brilliant.

Hey, Dee. Love the look.

You buying something, or just standing in my light?

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to stand in your...

Do you know where your uncle is? Is he here?

He's at an antiques convention. Goes every year.

My uncle is "Bottle Cap King".

Really?

You think being at the top of your field after a lifetime of work

is funny?

No. That's not what I was saying at all. I...

I...

There's a thing.

Yeah.

Actually, it is pretty funny.

So how long 'til Mr. Abelard gets back?

At least a week. Maybe two.

There's a Michelin-starred restaurant near the convention center, so...

Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom.

- Michelin? - Really fancy gourmet restaurants

get Michelin stars.

So, he eats fancy food?

Oh, for sure.

He washes out his same pair of suspenders every night

just so he can afford his grub au française.

So, not a frozen dinner kind of guy.

Oh, he's a lot of things, but not that.

Hey, put that down.

You break it, you buy it. Come on.

Honestly.

Is that the sign from the old drive-in?

I don't know.

- You want it to be? - Oh, it was just...

We're not buying. It was just a question.

Then you can ask Wesley Russell

the moving guy. He's the one who delivered it to us.

Now, if you're not buying anything...

Bye, Dee.

I know where Wesley Russell is.

- Look what I got. Come on. - He's...

Right there.

Deliveries as per usual, ten on the dot.

There you go.

Oh, hey, Wes.

Big night planned?

D&D marathon with the guys?

Oh...

These are for me. Supper for the week.

Assuming I don't catch any fish.

Which is a pretty good bet.

Still, gonna stream an all-night film noir marathon.

That doesn't sound exciting.

Unless you're a movie buff.

Guilty as charged.

Hey.

Hey, you took all that old drive-in stuff to Abelard's, right?

Yeah, that's right.

I wish I could afford to buy it. I used to love that drive-in.

Now it's just me and my TV.

Well, here's your nails, bait and frozen dinner.

- See ya. - See ya.

- Ruby. - Wes.

- You win. - Yes.

There goes Wes, off to his movies and frozen dinners.

Wishing he had someone to share that heart-shaped pillow with.

So, we found our wisher?

Yup. And now...

we just need to find Wes the love of his life.

Okay, matchmaking 101. Ideas?

Fine. Now, we can't play cupid blindly.

In order to do this, we need to understand

Wes's previous relationships: what worked, what didn't.

Like, if Wes is looking for someone who loves romantic comedies

and hates sports

and wants to travel a bunch before

say, opening their own artisanal bakery

then we need to find him a match that shares these values, right?

- Wow. - You're good.

Thanks. I know.

Anyways, now we just need to find someone who can do a little research

into Wes's previous relationships.

I don't know.

Wh... I'm supposed to do that?

Yeah.

How?

Ask for advice.

Tell him you're hopeless when it comes to relationships.

Yeah, so, in other words, tell the truth.

He's calling every day now?

Yeah. We used to talk once a month, max.

And now he wants to know every detail of our lives?

Where was this dad when I was a kid, you know?

He's older, right?

Maybe he's looking back and taking stock.

Maybe he realizes he wasn't there for you before

and he's trying to be now.

It's kind of sweet.

I wish my dad could've... but

Oh. What... Is he?

I never saw him after my third birthday.

Oh. Wow.

What happened?

He was an oil guy

an executive

exactly who the revolutionaries hated.

He tried to stay out of all of it, but...

one day

his dinner was ready and he never came home to eat it.

I'm so sorry.

But he made sure we'd be okay.

He had already made plans for us to escape.

Didn't take much.

Just the clothes on our backs and some things that meant something.

All he wanted to do was protect us.

And he did.

Dads are like that.

Including yours.

So, if he's calling every day, cherish it, Dan.

Maybe he's got a plan.

Yes, how can I help you?

I would recommend this one.

Girls. It's just, you know, even if I am interested

I don't even know what to say to them, you know?

And you're asking me? 'Cause I... I barely know you.

I mean, why not?

You seem like a good guy.

I mean... and...

you know, who else would I talk to?

I mean, there's my mom.

Or the guy at the feedlot.

There's not a huge talent group here.

Well...

I don't know.

How about your past relationships?

Like, how did they work out?

I don't know. I haven't really...

I mean, I can't...

ever since Luna.

Luna?

Yeah.

She's... just really, really special.

But since she's been gone, I can't even think about stuff like that.

Luna. Wow. I mean...

she sounds amazing.

She is.

Listen, Sam, thank you for the fries

but I don't think I'm your guy for this

okay? At least, not right now. I'm sorry.

I gotta go.

If that's what love does to you?

I want no part of it.

Sounds like this Luna did a serious number on him.

Why do you guys think they broke up?

Could we get them back together? Should we get them back together?

Well, first we need to find out what happened, which means

the next question is...

Mom?

- Who's Luna? - Luna?

And how did she break Wes's heart?

Don't know.

I can't think of anybody in town. Maybe it's a long-distance thing?

But he comes in here a lot, right

and he's never mentioned a girlfriend?

We small talk over deliveries.

It's usually about movies, not personal stuff.

What'd you talk about last time?

Citizen Kane.

And how the real genius was the camera guy.

Oh. He did ask to put a notice on the board.

- Oh. - What?

I didn't read this 'til now.

Poor guy.

I guess this is Luna.

Luna's a dog?

And he wishes he could find her.

Oh, it makes perfect sense.

And, look, that is even the heart-shaped pillow.

Now all I need are the details.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

I don't know.

Wes. Wes, hey. I'm here about Luna.

You found her?

No, no. Sorry.

But I'd like to help find her. Can you tell me how she got lost?

Well

was giving her a bath on the back porch around a week ago

when some yahoo next door set off fireworks.

Luna hates fireworks.

Yeah. Dogs can scare really easy.

Exactly.

I'd already taken her collar off for the bath

and the fireworks popped and I guess

I forgot to latch the gate because she took off like a rocket

total blur. I mean, that girl can really book.

Then I drove all over the neighborhood

shaking the can I keep her favorite treats in going

"Shakey-shakey-treat-treat. Shakey-shakey-treat-treat."

She always comes running for that.

Then I called the vet, the pound. I called the police.

Such a good dog.

I feel so dumb for leaving that gate open.

I just...

I just wish I could find her.

Yeah, I know.

But me and my friends, we're gonna find her.

What? Seriously?

- You think you can? - I know we can.

It's what we do.

Don't worry. Your life is about to get a whole lot better, guaranteed.

I rechecked the vet, the pound and the police. No lost dogs.

Yeah. It says here golden retrievers can run five miles, easy

and go as fast as 35 miles an hour.

So Luna could've gotten really far really fast if she was pretty scared.

Right. So, we would need to start at Wes's

and check really far in every direction?

That's a lot of ground to cover.

Except we have a secret weapon.

Lace up your boots, guys

we're about to explore the scenic highways and byways

of the gorgeous Route 4 at Ashton Hills.

That's a lot of woods out there. And it's been, what? A week?

It's not gonna be easy.

Well, the well hasn't steered us wrong yet.

Yeah, what's your middle name, anyways, Ruby? Bright Side?

Cup Half Full?

Legally, it's Viola. But I'll bring your suggestions to management.

Shakey-shakey-treat-treat.

Shakey-shakey-treat-treat.

Shakey-shakey- treat-treat.

Luna. Shakey-shakey-treat-treat.

Yeah, I don't know about this.

- I mean... - Yeah, Ruby's voice is

- higher than Wes's. - It's true.

Then you do it.

Seriously?

Shakey-shakey-treat-treat.

A little louder, maybe?

Shakey-shakey-treat-treat.

Try adding some dance moves. Come on.

Yeah. Put your hips into it.

- Okay. Okay. - Come on, Sam.

I'm not gonna do that. I...

We love granting wishes!

- Shakey-shakey-treat-treat! - Yeah!

Shakey-shakey-treat-treat!

"Thought you might like to see what's out there in your price range.

Some great places."

Thanks, Dad, but not looking to move anytime soon.

Really?

Take another look.

I know it's a lot to take in, but that last one's

got a lot of potential.

It's even got a great school nearby. Good for Ruby's future.

I'm looking out for Ruby's future just fine, Dad.

I got a couple more links.

That's okay. I appreciate

your help and your concern, Dad, but I'm pretty firm on this.

Daniel.

How can I change your mind?

You can't.

Look, I gotta... I... I gotta go, Dad.

I need some help.

I need you to find a box for me.

In the cider house.

Okay.

It's in an old barrel.

At the back.

Sure. What are you looking for?

Name.

On an old map, I think.

Let me know when you find it.

Good talk.

Luna. Here girl.

Shakey-shakey-treat-treat.

I don't know, guys. We're gonna run out of daylight soon.

Should get back to the road.

I can't believe it. No dog. No pawprints. No nothing.

It's been a week. The pawprints would be long gone, anyhow.

But we had an actual address.

I really thought with such a specific clue

that we wouldn't turn up with so much... nothing.

Is it me, or are the wishes actually getting harder?

Not just you.

Check this out.

Looks like a chunk of car light, a turn signal, or something.

The tire marks.

I think there's been an accident.

Nope, no accident.

Really?

Sometimes people self-report

just so they have something to show the insurance people.

Let me see here.

Oh. Here's something.

Single vehicle collision on Route 4 near Ashton Hills.

A week ago, 10.30pm.

Apparently, a 2014 Chevy Impala hit a dog.

According to this

the animal slipped away into the woods.

It was too dark to find.

Luna.

Thanks, Officer Clark.

- Thank you. - See ya.

Luna could be hurt, or worse.

We checked every inch of the woods and we didn't find her

so someone else must have.

It's weird, though, 'cause Wes called around to the vets and the pound.

Turned up with nothing.

Except...

- Ooh. Is she puzzle-facing? - Think so.

Well, Wes didn't know that Luna made it all the way to Ashton Hills.

And what if they have their own vet and pound?

Hang on.

Yeah, Ashton Hills has two vets and a humane society.

I'll call the humane society.

- I'll call the first vet. - Okay.

Ashton Hills animal clinic.

Hi there. I'm wondering if you've taken in a dog this week?

Yeah, a golden retriever.

Would've been brought in on the 17th or 18th?

Female. No collar.

- No? - No.

- Yes? Yes? - Yes.

- Was it a young dog? - Yeah, about four years old.

Yeah, let's see, bone fractures, joint dislocation.

Hit by a car, it looked like.

Now, she was in pretty bad shape

but she's doing better now.

We're friends of the owner. Could we come see her?

I don't see why not. I'll see how long someone'll be here.

Well, this is great. We can head on down there

- and confirm it's her. - You will.

I'm allergic.

I thought your allergies were limited to homework and manual labor?

Hey. I'm a complex guy. What can I say?

Hello?

All good. Come on by.

Okay. Amazing. Thank you. See you soon.

No problem and don't worry, okay?

Daisy's gonna be just fine.

Daisy?

Old Tom.

Come on, I'll take you to see her.

Can go home in another day, maybe?

As you can see, she is doing loads better now.

Hey, girl.

- How you doing? - That is definitely the same dog.

Oh, and your friend? Such a great caregiver

been here every day, sits with her for hours.

Wait. Wes has been here?

Wes? I meant Anjali.

- Anjali? - Anjali?

Yeah, little girl maybe ten?

She found Daisy on the side of the road.

Her family brought her in and she's been here every day checking on her.

Even tried to give me her allowance.

When I wouldn't take it, we decided to set up an assistance fund.

Anjali.

She is an angel.

- Dr. Halemani? - Excuse me.

Thank you.

We have to tell Wes.

You'll be okay.

You found her.

Poor girl. Look at those bandages.

But look.

She's still smiling.

I think. That's Luna for ya.

What about the little girl?

Oh. I owe her huge. She saved Luna's life.

I have to get a reward for her, or something. Oh.

Thank you guys so much.

I'm gonna find Luna's papers and I'm bringing her home tomorrow.

- Oh. - Yep. Yeah. Sorry.

Oh. Okay.

- Cool. - Yes.

So...

wish fulfilled?

It seems that way, right?

Right.

Right.

No. No.

While you guys were off doing your dog thing, I did some thinking.

There's still a clue on the board that isn't connected to anything

it's the last one.

The scarf.

You're right. We forgot about that one.

So, what? Did we just miss the scarf, or...

Well, the TV dinner and the movie stuff led us to Wes.

The red, heart-shaped pillow and highway signs led us to Luna.

Exactly.

And the scarf.

It has to be... It's gotta be...

I got nothin'.

Well, it has to connect to something.

So, the wish just isn't done yet.

I knew this was too easy.

Good morning. Ooh. What a gorgeous day.

Birds are singing. Skies are blue.

It's overcast.

But Luna is okay.

So, you bringing her home today?

I am. And I'm in the market for a new dog bowl and shiny new leash.

I'll take the finest money can buy.

This is all we have. So, have you been out to see her yet?

Heading there now.

Hey. You don't have

any thanks-for-saving-my-dog cards, do you?

No.

Okay. That's fine. Just this.

Sure.

Have a good day.

I am now.

- Hey, Mina. - Hey.

Wes is going to the vet clinic now to visit Luna.

Now? He's going there now?

He looks like he's gonna float there, he's so happy.

But the wish isn't done yet.

- I know. - And anything could happen.

- I know. - I have to get there now.

Yes, I know.

Hey, Wes.

Hey, Ruby. What a beautiful sunshiny day.

It's overcast.

Oh. What're you doing here?

I just wanted to be here when you and Luna were reunited.

Well, you should be. You're the one that found her for me.

Oh. I'm sorry I didn't think of that.

Oh, no, no. It's... it's okay.

Do they know you're here for Luna?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Bit of confusion at first, but my paperwork is solid

- so... - Is she ready yet?

Daisy!

She looks as excited as I am.

Hey, guys.

- Luna! - Daisy!

Oh, hey, girl. It's so great to see you. You're beautiful.

- Hey. Hey, Daisy. - Doctor? Is that...

The life saver. In person. Wes, this is Anjali.

Wow. Thank you, Anjali.

What you did was amazing.

Thank you for saving Luna.

And thank you, Dr. Halemani.

So what can we do to settle up?

Wait. He's not taking Daisy away, is he?

He can't do that.

This... this is your dog?

Yeah, that's...

That's right. It's Luna.

And thank you two so, so much. I... I actually have a reward.

- No! - Anj.

Anj.

Honey, listen, we talked about this.

We knew there was a chance

- the real owner would show up - But...

and take her home.

How could he be her real owner?

He let her get away. He let her get into an accident.

There's no way he loves Daisy as much as I do.

Thank you.

- Hey. Come on, Luna. - No.

- I... I'm sorry. - No.

No, you can't.

Thank you again.

I... I'm really sorry.

Come on.

No, wait. Wait.

Dad?

Dad?

Hey.

So, was it a success? Wish-wish granted?

Sorta.

Whoa. Is this Tom?

Talk about family resemblance.

Yeah. It's all Tom.

Poor guy. There's a ton of these.

Here's one where he looks happy.

Yeah.

It's my dad and Tom.

They're young and...

happy.

It's like a time lapse of your uncle falling apart.

The resemblance is uncanny. I...

Thanks.

I mean, I...

I know, I know what you mean.

Grampa O wanted me to grab this stuff.

He said he was looking for something, a name.

What for?

No idea.

Here's a list of doctor visits.

That's my dad's handwriting.

Looks like Tom saw a lot of them.

Maybe it's the doctor's name?

No, actually. He said it was written on the back of a map.

This says, "Tom's Sketches. 1979."

My dad cut off all ties with his brother when I was a kid.

Why?

I don't know.

He never talked about it, he just...

one day it was over.

And he never looked back.

Until now.

Hey. A map.

That's my dad's chicken scratch.

"Druim Uaine"?

- You are not. - I am.

But... Come on, don't you think this is going a little too far?

That's what the sister, Tanya, I think, said.

But I have to. It's the right thing to do.

Hold on. Hold on. Think about this a little. I mean, come on.

I have, Mina. It's why I'm doing it.

- What happened? - What's up?

The wish just fell apart, that's what.

Really?

Wes came to the store looking so bummed out.

He was all, like...

I forgot to buy her shakey-shakey-treat-treats.

No big surprise.

Shakey-shakey...

Can't seem to get anything right.

Wes.

Then he's all, "That poor girl."

She was so sad when I took Luna away.

Look, listen, I feel for Anjali, I really do, but...

Wes, you love Luna. She's your dog.

But I left the gate open.

I messed up like I always do.

Then Anjali saved her life. I mean

little kid takes better care of my dog than I do.

- Can you believe that? - Can you believe that?

Don't tell me anything else.

Okay. I won't.

Wha... Okay, don't tell her, maybe, but tell me.

Sam. Don't you get it?

This wish couldn't have gone more sideways.

Instead of making Wes happy, we're wrecking his life.

It sounds like

Wes is giving away his dog for good.

Oh, man.

Wish going well?

Oh, yes. Completely. Can't you tell?

Do you care to elaborate?

Oh, man, only if you want me to.

So, the well gives me a wish.

"I wish I could find her."

And we find all of the clues and Wes is happy.

But curveball number one: Anjali.

A little girl shows up completely in love with the dog.

And curveball number two: Wes gives the dog away.

Okay.

So, you did your job.

It's not your fault Wes isn't happy

- with what he wished for. - Exactly what I thought.

But it doesn't work that way, okay? Wes couldn't be more miserable.

The well doesn't do miserable.

What am I missing?

Hold that thought. Grandpa O.

- Hi, Grandpa. - Hey, Dad.

I got the name for you.

- And? - Yeah. I can't really read it

but I can spell it for you. It's D-R-U-I-M-U-A-I-N-E.

"Drew-em You-any?"

What is it?

Relic from the past.

I suppose you saw the pictures?

Yeah and the sketches and notes.

The evidence.

Such great potential... cut short.

Any thoughts on why?

Yeah... I don't know.

Mental health issues.

Loneliness... abandonment.

Abandonment.

Excellent choice of word.

- I didn't mean that... - I turned my back on him.

I should've tried harder. My brother.

You had your own life, so...

It's hard looking back...

seeing what I add up to.

With him...

your mom...

you.

It's okay, Dad.

I'm a dad, too. I...

We all do our best.

We're not our mistakes.

I wish I believed that.

Well, you should.

Because no matter what happened or what will happen...

we love you.

Ruby does.

I do.

And I do.

Really.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Daniel.

Good night.

Good night, Dad.

There's our Grampa O being Grampa O.

Nobody does it better.

Yeah.

Hey, Ruby.

I messed up.

- What? - I made a mistake.

Ruby, what are you talking about?

Yes, we granted the wish.

I thought so, anyway.

Okay, Wes wanted to find her, Luna, and he did.

But that's not really true, is it?

Actually, he didn't find her. We did.

Exactly. So, something's still not right.

Oh, I was so sure, but I had this feeling.

This was supposed to be an easy one, but I totally whiffed.

Is this the well telling me not to be so confident?

That I'm not Miss Super Amazing Wish Granter, Greatest of All Time?

That I should just throw in the wish-giving towel?

Ruby, you don't actually believe that, do you?

No! Because

I am not my mistakes. And neither is Wes.

Meet me tomorrow, okay? First thing.

There he is, 10.00am sharp.

Hey. Morning, you guys.

- Hi. - What's going on?

Ruby's just, you know, fixing everything, as she does.

I actually don't have all the answers

but I do know this, Wes

you made a mistake.

Well, this is not news.

In fact, it's probably something you've done a lot.

You want an alphabetical list?

But it's okay. Good, even, because

I have some news that I think you and Luna are gonna like.

No way. You guys actually found me a rescue?

Daisy in good shape.

Be up to weight soon and we micro-chipped her, too

- so that... - So

you can always find her.

And I have a little something waiting for you in the other room.

Oh. He's so adorable.

You were right, Ruby.

Maybe I was a little hard on myself.

But now? I mean, we took an awful thing that happened and...

we turned it into that.

- He's so sweet. - Hey, Wes.

Did... did my sister say thank you?

I mean...

she looks a little busy.

This is what keeps me in the wish business.

Definitely.

Still, the whole "I wish I could find her."

All the clues are accounted for, but we found Luna.

Hey, what did Wes find?

Ruby, look.

- Oh. - Oh.

There you go. Got it.

No way.

I guess I was right about this one.

So, wish granted?

You are a hopeless romantic.

Nope. I am a "hope-full" romantic.

Like my dad said

we are not our mistakes.

Instead, we are all the joy and all the good and all the best things

that come from what we learn from them.

We may wish we could erase our mistakes

but instead, we should...

I don't know

embrace them.

Because they're chances to grow.

And change.

And even though it can hurt to look back

it's how we find a way to move forward.

Broken...

but better.
