Transcript
00:00Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:07What's going on?
00:08We know that the eagle coin was found in a poker game in Union City with Toddy Davis.
00:11Maybe we can do business.
00:12The cattle crossing has contaminated the stream where the salmon spawned.
00:16Does that girl not know any other songs?
00:18It's this new curriculum where everything is led by the student's curiosity.
00:23There's something about the autumn air.
00:27There's an almost magical sense of possibility.
00:32My students constantly inspire me.
00:35And their own curiosity is taking them further than I could ever imagine.
00:39Is it this way?
00:41I don't know.
00:42Looks like it.
00:44I think we're supposed to be here.
00:46And I'm pretty sure it's that way.
00:49Wait here.
00:53Leigh surprised Rosemary with a trip to Cape Fullerton to see a performance of The Importance of Being Earnest.
00:59And now she wants to put on her own production, which she will direct, produce, and star in, naturally.
01:07With Fiona's encouragement, I wrote a guide to my new curriculum.
01:11She said she wants to send it to publishers and other educators.
01:16I never imagined trying to create a new form of teaching.
01:19But Fiona makes everything seem possible.
01:28As for Nathan and me, it all feels new and exciting.
01:32There's so much we still don't know about one another.
01:35And so much more to discover.
01:37We're enjoying every moment together.
01:40Excited for all that's to come.
01:45Every morning, every evening, ain't we got fun?
01:52I'm assuming you've seen these numbers.
01:54Yes, I know. It's not good.
01:57No, it is not good.
01:58Ava Riel is simply too expensive for us to support.
02:02Ain't got money, oh, but honey, ain't we got fun?
02:07What's all that singing? Where does she find the time to eat this many meals?
02:10She is running up a tab, but she's also good for business.
02:14Yeah, the customers do seem to like her.
02:16But still, this bill is way too high.
02:18Oh, let me guess, Miss Riel up?
02:20Yes. Any word from her folks yet?
02:22She told me that she just got a letter from them last week.
02:25And?
02:26They're extending their trip.
02:28Oh.
02:29They went to see the Northern Lights in Norway.
02:31Oh my goodness, now it's Norway?
02:33First it was the Dolomites, then it was the coast of Croatia.
02:36You'd think the parents of an heiress would be more concerned with making sure their daughter was sufficiently taken care of.
02:42In the meantime, in between time, ain't we got fun?
02:47No, Ava, we don't got fun.
02:50Sweetheart.
02:52Bright side.
02:53Look what just came back from the printers.
02:56Audition notices?
02:57You betcha.
02:58The Hope Valley players present the importance of being earnest.
03:03Who will be cast? Only time will tell.
03:06It's very exciting.
03:07It is.
03:08I was thinking of auditioning myself.
03:10If you think I'd be any good?
03:13Yes. Please do.
03:16And Ava was asking about it too.
03:22The stage is not for everyone, Hickam.
03:28Let's distribute. Leave. Now.
03:31Okay. Be right back, Mike.
03:33Nothing else goes on that tab.
03:36I have much to do.
03:38Oh, Lee.
03:39Yes?
03:40Did you get them?
03:42Unfortunately, they're really hard to come by.
03:44But my guy came through.
03:48You're very welcome. Have a good time.
04:01So I found this on my desk.
04:03Two train tickets to Union City?
04:06Care to explain yourself?
04:07No. I don't think I do.
04:10So I'm just supposed to follow you blindly on this adventure?
04:15You'll just have to put yourself in my hands.
04:17Oh, what if I don't trust you?
04:19You're just going to have to try.
04:21What's going on?
04:22Tell me what's going on.
04:23I need to know!
04:24What's going on?
04:27We are going to the new Buster Keaton picture studio.
04:31We're going to the new Buster Keaton picture at the movie palace.
04:36Are you serious?
04:39I was wrong to doubt you.
04:41Forgive me.
04:42Always.
04:43Anyway, we won't be back until late.
04:45So Allie will be at Angela's and little Jack will be staying with Talia.
04:48And a taxi's set to pick us up this afternoon.
04:51Well, I'll be ready.
04:57I'm going to... I'll be ready.
05:02Hmm.
05:03MUSIC PLAYS
05:30Ned?
05:32What?
05:34Oh, listen. That holiday pageant was ten years ago.
05:38But you only had one line.
05:40I know. I know.
05:43I'll be fine. I'll be fine. I'll be fine.
05:47Do you think that's the best offer we're going to get?
05:50It's a full service salon and it comes with all the supplies.
05:55I see.
05:56I see.
05:58Well, I'll talk with my partner, Mr. Weaver, and we'll get back to you with a decision.
06:07Is that what I think it is?
06:09I was up half the night finalising. It just never seemed finalised.
06:14Oh.
06:16Good. They're going to love it.
06:18These publishers are really bold.
06:20Department of Education? Why not?
06:23Is that too forward?
06:24I mean, usually you'd send a query first, but that's okay.
06:28No, no, you're right. It's too much, sending the whole thing.
06:31No, no, no, no. You never know. Fortune favours the bold.
06:34We just have to look at the introduction again and, um, and add some more artwork.
06:38Leap and the net will appear.
06:42It's what my mother used to say.
06:44Was your mother in a circus?
06:55The very essence of romance is uncertainty.
06:59If ever I shall marry, I will certainly try to forget the fact.
07:04Wonderful. Thank you, Hickam.
07:06I did prepare a few more scenes.
07:08No, no. It's perfect. I have all the information I need.
07:12Okay.
07:14I just moved it all to itself.
07:16Thank you so much for coming. Is that okay?
07:19You were terrific. Shall we?
07:22Do you think, um, maybe I should ask them if I could do it again?
07:26No, I don't think so.
07:28Okay.
07:30What am I going to do?
07:32What do you mean? I thought he was very good.
07:35He was fine, serviceable.
07:39Algenon is supposed to be swashbuckling and rebellious, debonair and dazzling.
07:46Hickam? Ned? Jed?
07:49They are all caution.
07:51And stability.
07:52Hesitation. Insecurity.
07:55My...
07:56Oh my goodness.
07:57Do you think I could just, uh, do it again a different way?
07:59Uh, no.
08:00Every woman becomes like their mother.
08:02No.
08:03That is their tragedy.
08:04No man does. That's his.
08:05Hickam.
08:07It was...
08:10perfect.
08:13Yes.
08:15Aha.
08:19Who in this town is swashbuckling and bold?
08:22Pushing boundaries with a little glint in their eye.
08:28Oh my goodness. Yes.
08:31Why didn't I think of that myself?
08:32He's perfect. He's everything.
08:33Do you think he'll do it?
08:34There's only one way to find out.
08:36Yes.
08:38Thank you, everyone.
08:39Callbacks will be posted this afternoon.
08:41Oh.
08:42Well, just put them out of their misery now, Rosemary.
08:50It's not marked on the maps, but...
08:52But I think it was more in this direction.
08:54No, I think it was up here.
08:55No, look. It's right there.
08:58This could work.
08:59We need to show Mrs. Thorne.
09:00Why don't you take it straight to the governor?
09:03He said he wanted to help you solve your cow problem, didn't he?
09:06You really think he'd see us?
09:09Ask for Mr. Mitchell.
09:10He'll love it.
09:12Okay.
09:15Hey, Dad.
09:16Hey.
09:17We're going to see the governor.
09:19Edwin?
09:21You think Edwin's going to let them in?
09:22No.
09:23But at least I'll have some peace and quiet while I fill you in on the Garrison Gang case.
09:27Oh, finally. You caught a break?
09:29Maybe.
09:30Inspector McGill sent a report.
09:32Apparently two double-headed eagles showed up in Amsterdam
09:35at a rare coin and stamp dealer's showroom.
09:37The Dutch police said they couldn't get the guy to admit how they got there.
09:40That's all well and good, but it still doesn't answer the big question.
09:44The way the Garrison Gang hid the rest of the gold.
09:46Exactly.
09:47Somewhere there is a hidden fortune.
09:49We should get the public involved.
09:51Sponsor a valley-wide treasure hunt.
09:54Bill, it's too much publicity.
09:56Is there such a thing?
09:57It might scare them off.
09:58All right, fine.
09:59In the meantime, Bill, I have a question for you.
10:04You once mentioned that you worked on an espionage case with the British Colonial Office.
10:10What about it?
10:11You said you posed as a UK embassy official.
10:14I assume your accent must have been pretty persuasive, hmm?
10:18Well, persuasive, huh?
10:21Mm-hmm.
10:26The undersecretary has requested an update of the situation in Devonshire.
10:31Please gather the latest dispatches and prepare a summary for the meeting this afternoon.
10:36Oh!
10:39You, sir, are my...
10:41You, sir, are my Algernon.
10:45Your what?
10:46The importance of being earnest.
10:48No, no, no, no. No, no, out of the question.
10:51Please! I'm desperate. You're the only one who can do it.
10:55The swashbuckling panache, the confident joie de vivre, the masculine yet sensitive charmer, hmm?
11:03Swashbuckling panache?
11:05Mm-hmm.
11:09Well, I suppose.
11:10Ah! Wonderful! You won't regret it.
11:16That was persuasive.
11:26The Inspector General will be conducting a tour of the operation next month.
11:31So, chip-chip, tally-ho!
11:33Tally-ho!
11:38I will pray every time I feel...
11:45Well, hello, little friend.
11:47Heard you could use a hand.
11:49That'd be very welcome. I'm just nailing these together for some backdrops.
11:53How is it that Rosemary manages to convince us to do this stuff?
11:58Inspiration and gentle persuasion. Best way to gather a flock.
12:02I think it's more persuasion than anything.
12:06Thought I might be seeing you up on that stage.
12:08No, you did not. You did not think that.
12:11Well, if not the play, we could use a hand with the church choir.
12:16You know, Minnie and Rosemary are always looking for some new soloists.
12:19Well, trust me, my singing is not going to bring anybody closer to God.
12:25Up on the mountain when my God spoke
12:30Out of His mouth came fire and smoke
12:34I looked around me, it looked so fine
12:39I asked my Lord if all this was mine
12:43Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart
12:51I will pray
12:56Governor, there are two children here to see you.
13:01Something about a pasture?
13:03I have told them to make an appointment and go through the proper channels.
13:06It's all right, Edwin. I for one happen to like kids.
13:09Send them in.
13:13Thank you, Governor Bouchard.
13:16The last time you unrolled maps at me, I ended up in a lot of hot water.
13:21This might get you out.
13:24What we have for you is a way for everyone to co-exist.
13:29There's a wildlife corridor the cattle can take to an even bigger summer pasture.
13:33And they never have to cross the stream at all.
13:35And then the fish will be able to spawn again.
13:38It's even called the Old Meadow.
13:40I wonder why the ranchers aren't using it.
13:42Maybe they don't know about it.
13:44We only found it because we were...
13:46Looking at maps.
13:52Part of it is blocked here, apparently.
13:54But maybe it can be cleared.
13:58Nice work.
13:59You two make a good team.
14:02Can I keep this?
14:05Edwin.
14:06Sir.
14:07Reschedule my appointments for this afternoon.
14:15You
14:20You know, I've heard that Buster Keaton is the funniest man in the world.
14:25And now I can see why.
14:27The look on his face when that horse melted.
14:31How did they do that? It was incredible.
14:37You're incredible.
14:40I love this song.
14:57Danny boy!
15:03Do me a favor, call me Danny for the next few minutes.
15:06Danny?
15:07Danny.
15:08Hey, Tati, you old dog.
15:10This must be your wife.
15:12Diane, yes.
15:14Diane.
15:15Danny's told me so much about you.
15:17Oh.
15:18Tati and I, we met the other night when I was out wearing my white dinner jacket.
15:22The one you got me, darling.
15:24Turns out we were in the same line of work.
15:26We were talking artifacts, coins.
15:29What a marvelous coincidence it is, running into you, of all people.
15:33You know, I just got back from the Netherlands.
15:35With quite a haul.
15:37For a certain select clientele, of course.
15:40Oh, it sounds tempting, really.
15:43But you go on ahead.
15:45It's fine. I'll see you back at home.
15:48Tati!
15:50You have to invite them over.
15:52What a great idea.
15:53My wife, Trudy, and I would love for you to join us.
15:56We're hosting a bit of a bash.
15:58It's just a few close friends up the hill.
16:01Oh.
16:02Oh.
16:03Oh, that's a fabulous idea.
16:06Really, um, but we're not really dressed for a party.
16:11We've got you covered.
16:14And I know the perfect dress.
16:16It'll look smashing on you.
16:18We really couldn't.
16:20Why?
16:21You got a better invitation?
16:24Yeah, I thought you wanted to do business.
16:28I guess there's nothing stopping us.
16:36I guess not.
16:38Come on.
16:45Diane.
16:50Miss Fairfax.
16:52Uh, just one second.
16:54Lee, you need to stay on your mark.
16:57Yes.
16:58All right, let's just take it again.
17:00Miss Fairfax.
17:02Oh, my goodness, I love it.
17:04It's perfect.
17:05Where did you find her?
17:06Miss Fairfax.
17:08Yes, yes.
17:10Let's just hear the cue again.
17:12Miss Fairfax.
17:15Gwenlyn, by my word.
17:17On second thought, I think we may also need the walking cane.
17:22Let's look.
17:23Yes, do we have one?
17:25Choices.
17:27Algy, kindly turn your back.
17:30I have something very particular to say to Mr. Worthing.
17:33Really, Gwenlyn?
17:35I don't think I can allow this at all.
17:37Algy, you always adopt a strictly amour attitude towards life.
17:40You're not quite old enough to do that.
17:42Aw, thank you.
17:44Gosh, Ava doesn't even need the script.
17:46Oh, I was in an amateur production at my boarding school in Maryland.
17:51I would really love to help out in any way that I can, Mrs. Coulthard.
17:55Wonderful.
17:57Uh, why don't we take a short break, shall we?
18:01We just took a break.
18:03Five minutes, Bill.
18:04I don't think I can work this way.
18:06Sweetheart, she just really wanted to help with costumes,
18:10so I told her to come down and have a look, that's all.
18:15Can I just say, you make a wonderful Gwenlyn.
18:19Not many actors have your berve.
18:22Uh, well, thank you very much.
18:25Uh, I appreciate it.
18:27Especially coming from clearly and obviously an earnest expert.
18:31Perhaps you could be in charge of, uh, props?
18:36For the rehearsal, only.
18:38Really? I'd love to.
18:43Let's take it from the top.
18:45From Miss Fairfax, or the top?
18:48You have to say something.
18:51Miss Fairfax.
19:04You did it again, my dear.
19:18That's perfect.
19:39Wow.
19:41Those moving pictures, they don't have anything on you.
19:44Well, if he was talking to any.
19:46Oh, so we are married now?
19:49Yes, we live in the city, we spend our summers by the lake,
19:52and your husband worships the ground that you walk on.
19:55Hmm, and his wife thinks he's just as handsome as the day of their wedding.
20:02So, Toddy...
20:04Yes, he's an estate dealer.
20:07Trades in illegal coins, like the one found in the mercantile.
20:10Oh.
20:11Turns out it was part of a notorious train robbery,
20:13and Toddy may be the key to the case.
20:17So, who are you to Toddy?
20:21A shady coin dealer.
20:23And I'm your dame?
20:25Yeah.
20:26So we're the bad guys?
20:28We're the bad guys.
20:29For tonight, anyways.
20:31Elizabeth, I'm...
20:33I'm sorry, this is not how I pictured our evening going.
20:37Neither did I.
20:39But here we go!
20:42Denny, look at Sharp.
20:44Oh, Diane!
20:46You look stunning!
20:48I can't thank you enough.
20:49Not at all.
20:50I said I had the perfect dress, didn't I, Tod?
20:53Always trust Rudy with fashion.
20:55I think it's time we see that dress shimmy!
20:57Oh, and now I'm...
21:02You're a gadabout.
21:04Let's get out there and show our stuff.
21:06Come on.
21:07Oh, um...
21:09You know, I'm not...
21:11Woo!
21:12Goodnight, Charlie.
21:16Hey!
21:42Woo!
21:43Woo!
21:44Woo!
21:45Woo!
21:46Woo!
21:47Woo!
21:48Woo!
21:49Woo!
21:50Woo!
21:51Woo!
21:52Woo!
21:53Woo!
21:54Woo!
21:55Woo!
21:56Woo!
21:57Woo!
22:03Nice moves, Danny boy.
22:05Let me get you a drink, come on.
22:07Oh, Diane!
22:10Oh, Noel.
22:12Cheers.
22:14Now, you must tell me.
22:16How did you get that dapper gentleman to call himself yours?
22:21Oh, um...
22:23Well, I, um...
22:26I bid on him.
22:28At a bachelor charity auction.
22:30Oh, no!
22:31Cost me a pretty penny, but I think it was a good long-term investment.
22:35Oh, Diane!
22:37That is too good!
22:39There's nothing I love more than a great love story.
22:43Tell me more.
22:44No, no.
22:45You, you tell me about you and Toddy.
22:52I was a chorus girl.
22:54He was a backstage Johnny.
22:56Oh, um...
22:57Oh, um...
22:58I want to hear all about this auction.
23:02Hi.
23:08Evening.
23:12Miss Martell.
23:14Oh, what a nice surprise.
23:17Well, I was looking for you.
23:19Because I've come across what I think is a potential solution to our problem.
23:24And here I was hoping you were joining me for dinner.
23:27I can't do both.
23:32Ahem.
23:35Well, some students, an exemplary Mountie cadet and a budding naturalist,
23:41found an old path running the perimeter of the parkland that leads directly to a summer pasture.
23:47It's promising.
23:48So much for me doing my due diligence.
23:52What do you think?
23:56It's...
23:58interesting, no doubt.
24:01You will have to draft a proper proposal before they'll consider it an alternative option.
24:06Absolutely. I will get that done as soon as possible.
24:10In fact, I could use your help with the finer points of the legalese.
24:16Actually, I...
24:21I've just remembered I'm late for a meeting.
24:25Shame.
24:27I was looking forward to dinner.
24:28Huh.
24:30So was I.
24:39So, have the men been talking business?
24:42Uh, no. I don't know. No business. Just, uh, there's lots of sports.
24:47Did you know they were high school sweethearts?
24:49High school sweethearts?
24:51What about the bachelor auction?
24:55What about the bachelor auction?
24:57The bachelor auction where we met.
25:00Mm-hmm. Just after high school.
25:03You two, uh, you want to get your stories straight.
25:06No, no. It's all on the level. It's just two different parts of the same story.
25:10You see, we met in high school.
25:12Although I'm not sure she noticed me, but I noticed her from the audience.
25:18She was on stage singing at the spring talent show, and it's still my favorite song.
25:24What was it?
25:27Uh, You Made Me Love You.
25:29Oh, that's a sweet one.
25:33And then just a few years later, I was at an auction, and what did I hear?
25:37But, You Made Me Love You, being sung by one of the men up for bidding.
25:43She jumped right up on stage and finished the song with me.
25:46Ever since then, it's been our song.
25:49And it's been the five happiest years of my life.
25:52That's a long engagement. You said you've been married two years?
25:57Well, we, uh, we said the I do's two years ago, but I started counting the moment I fell in love with her.
26:07When was that?
26:10Uh, there's so, so many moments.
26:16I mean, you know, the moment she said yes, that, that was a moment.
26:22But there was a moment before that, actually, when she was kind to someone that I care a great deal about.
26:32I think that was the moment that I officially started counting.
26:36Did you hear that, Toddy? True love.
26:42That's a good story.
26:43That's a good story.
26:44It's not a story. Look at them.
26:49You should sing the song.
26:51What song?
26:52Your song, You Made Me Love You.
26:55Oh.
26:56Oh, no, no, no one wants to hear that.
26:58Of course we do.
27:01Go tell the band, True.
27:04Well, they might not know.
27:08Let's see this true love story.
27:14I guess we should give our hosts what they want.
27:18That's a good idea, Diane.
27:25You Made Me Love You?
27:27We heard it at the movies. I thought you knew it.
27:42Do you want to start?
27:47Hi.
27:52You made me love you.
27:56I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it.
28:01You made me want you.
28:05And all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it.
28:10You made me happy sometimes.
28:14You made me glad.
28:19But there were times, dear.
28:23You made me feel so sad.
28:26I'm sorry, Danny.
28:28You made me sigh for.
28:31I didn't want to tell you, I didn't want to tell you.
28:36I want some love that's true.
28:41Yes, I do.
28:42Did I do that?
28:43No, I do.
28:45Give me, give me what I cry for.
28:49You know you got the brand of kisses that I'd die for.
28:54You know you made me.
28:58You know you made me.
29:03You know you made me love you.
29:25Yes?
29:29I saw your light on.
29:32Do you always work late?
29:34Pure distractions.
29:36Oh, like someone knocking at your door?
29:39A welcome exception.
29:41What are you working on?
29:43The proposal we discussed.
29:45The wildlife corridor.
29:46Oh, so you're serious about that.
29:49Aren't you?
29:50Well, actually, at the moment, I am more interested in a game of cards.
29:59I think Hickam can really do it.
30:02And you, of course.
30:04Wonderful.
30:06I had a wonderful coach.
30:09Bill, on the other hand, that was a surprise.
30:12Brilliant, isn't he?
30:14He was.
30:15Everyone is just.
30:18We are still short a few parts.
30:21Too bad you can't play them all, right?
30:23I wish I could play a few less parts.
30:25Well, if you're serious about passing the baton,
30:29Ava seems to know the play pretty well.
30:31Please, that over-the-top show-off is not coming anywhere near my play.
30:36All right.
30:38Well, maybe you could get some help with the direction then.
30:41Lee, this is my baby.
30:44Not my real baby, but I care about this far too much
30:48to just hand it over to some amateur in a tiara.
30:54Let me ask you.
30:56What is it about Ava that bothers you so much?
30:59She is just so.
31:02So?
31:03Dramatic.
31:05She just takes up all the oxygen.
31:08Oh.
31:10No, don't say it.
31:12I know.
31:13Of course, there is a shadow of a resemblance,
31:19but we are not the same.
31:22For starters, I am not some poor little unlucky heiress
31:28who's lost my money and my clothes and my parents in the Alps.
31:32And secondly,
31:34No one is my Rosie.
31:37Sweetheart, you were brilliant acting, directing, and producing.
31:44This play is going to be a smash.
31:48I just know it.
31:50Thank you for always standing by me.
31:57I love you so much.
31:59I love you.
32:06An interesting choice.
32:13Jen.
32:16Okay, well.
32:18Jen.
32:21Jen.
32:25Okay, well, that's what I get for playing a known card sharp.
32:30Don't believe everything you read in the press.
32:32I am no sharp.
32:34Then I guess I'm just a poor player.
32:36Hardly.
32:37But you do have a tell.
32:38A tell?
32:39A little gesture.
32:40Tells you when a player is hiding something.
32:43A good card.
32:45A bad card.
32:47Something they don't want their opponent to know.
32:49I see.
32:51And what's my tell?
32:55You fiddle with your ring finger.
32:59You did it today.
33:01At the cafe.
33:02When I asked you if you thought it was a good plan.
33:05I know that you did not come to my office in the dead of night only to play cards.
33:09So.
33:11Is there anything you want to share?
33:13I do.
33:16I have a thought.
33:24Drop the proposal.
33:26Pretend like you never heard about this other pastor.
33:29You're saving a lot of people from a lot of trouble, including yourself.
33:34Where is this coming from?
33:36I'm afraid that's a matter of attorney-client privilege.
33:40I see.
33:44So once again we find ourselves on opposite sides.
33:48Well.
33:49Wasn't the only reason I came here tonight.
33:52We can still be friends playing cards, can't we?
34:03I believe it's your deal.
34:13You know, I watched you play poker in Union City.
34:16You know what I noticed?
34:18That the cards weren't in my favor?
34:21But you always bet big.
34:23Even when you had none.
34:25I'm not sure that's a virtue.
34:28Maybe not in poker.
34:30But it tells me you have confidence.
34:33Guts.
34:35I do like to take risks.
34:37But I always protect my clients.
34:40I knew I liked you, DeMarco.
34:43You know, I've got this one guy.
34:45The hotter the merchandise, the better.
34:48He likes it when there's a story.
34:49Swords, medallions, stamps.
34:53If he takes a shining to it, he'll pay top dollar.
34:59I think I may have something for him.
35:03What do you got?
35:06Not here.
35:08Isn't this your house?
35:16Twenty-four carats.
35:18Some two-bit rancher got his hands on a crate of these.
35:23What's a rancher doing with a crate of gold?
35:25Is he still there?
35:27No. No, he died last year.
35:30The place was a real dump too.
35:32You get all kinds of eccentrics.
35:36How many of those you got?
35:38I could sell a few to you.
35:41I don't know if the story's gonna be enough for your guy.
35:44Dead rancher sitting on a pot of gold? I could spend that.
35:47Where'd you say this guy was again?
35:49One of the valleys past Benson Hills.
35:52Around there.
35:55Talk to my guy?
35:58Have you ever been bored at your own party?
36:02More drinks, more dancing.
36:04Actually, it's getting late.
36:07We should go.
36:09Well, if you want to be party poopers.
36:12We'll call you a cab.
36:28Rosie?
36:31Coming.
36:57Any news?
37:13Not yet.
37:15I'm waiting for a call from Mr. Weaver.
37:17See if he wants to accept the offer.
37:22You ready to let go of this place?
37:26No.
37:30I suppose there's something better waiting for you.
37:34I suppose.
37:41I still haven't decided.
37:44It's a big one.
37:46Yeah.
37:48I'm not one of those girls who dreamed of their wedding day,
37:52the white dress, the happily ever after.
37:55I wasn't either.
37:57When I studied in Chicago,
37:59the closest I ever thought I would get to a husband was a forged marriage certificate.
38:04And then you met Mike?
38:06Yeah.
38:08And I realized that's what I wanted.
38:11Well, you do seem happy.
38:14But you...
38:17You have a spark.
38:19And I think you should follow it.
38:28Hello?
38:29Hi, Mr. Weaver.
38:31Yes, I know I was hoping for better too.
38:34As they say, bird in the hand.
38:38Okay.
38:41I'll see to it.
38:43Thank you, Mr. Weaver.
39:00It's done.
39:01It's done?
39:04One adventure ends and another begins.
39:08Yeah.
39:22And? They never suspected anything?
39:24They did at first. We couldn't get our story straight.
39:27But you pulled it off. I guess your acting skills have improved.
39:32Nathan had a whole character for me.
39:35Diane DeMarco, wife of a shady antiques dealer.
39:39Wait, was Nathan Danny DeMarco?
39:41How did you know?
39:43Well, I was the one who invented him.
39:45You know what, it's a long story.
39:47But clearly, you both should have auditioned for the play.
39:50Oh, how did the rest of your auditions go?
39:52Did you find what you needed?
39:54Well, almost.
39:57Seems this Ava Riella is quite the performer.
40:01She memorized the entire play.
40:03It was a bit excessive.
40:05Quick study.
40:08Don't you think it's odd that this sheltered heiress from Baltimore is suddenly parading around town like a one-woman vaudeville act?
40:17I seem to recall someone else arriving in Hope Valley with a bit of a dramatic flair.
40:22She's supposed to be your doppelganger, though, not mine.
40:25Well, maybe she's a bit like both of us.
40:29Were we ever that wide-eyed and lost?
40:32I know I was.
40:35Sometimes I miss that feeling that life could just take you anywhere.
40:40Well, our adventures are far from over.
40:43Clearly. You spent the night hobnobbing with gamblers and doing the charleston.
40:48I just wish I could have joined you.
40:51No, I was referring to what I mailed in the post this morning.
40:56No, you didn't. You sent the curriculum.
40:59So what changed your mind?
41:01A leap in the net will appear, I hope.
41:06All right. I'll do it.
41:09I will offer the careless heiress a role in my play.
41:13If anyone can wrestle a serviceable performance out of her, it's me.
41:21To more adventure.
41:24To more adventure.
41:31To more adventure.
