NORA: Previously on "Moonshine."
RHIAN: Someone's gotta fix
this shit pit,
and as per usual, (EFFORT GRUNT)
It's gonna be me.
I will never forgive you for this.
SAMMY: Either we find the drugs
on the bottom of the ocean,
or we come up with the money
to pay Jill back.
- And if we don't?
- Jill takes The Moonshine.
KEN: Lidia needs to know why
you've been standing in her way.
What are we supposed to do?
- We can start with the truth.

Jimmy Murphy.
I would've followed that man anywhere,
even when he decided to make
his fortune smuggling hash,

along for the ride.

Our shipment is good to go.
Okay.
Let's go.
BEA: But Jimmy changed that summer.

(SNIFFS DEEPLY)
BEA: He wasn't the man
I married anymore.
Blonde Lebanese baby!
- We're gonna make a killing.
- Maybe you should put that
in the back of the van

JIMMY: Buyer's not gonna miss
a couple bricks, chill out.
We need diapers.

LIDIA: Are you sitting next to me?
(RECEIVER CLICKS)
Jimmy ratted us out.
They know our names.
And Victoria's pregnant.
With twins.
You're gonna be a great Dad.
Hah! You sure are somethin'.
I don't see how you could be
so optimistic.
We just need a place to lay low,
and to get rid of the drugs.
(BUTTONS CLICKING)
It'll all work out, you'll see.

There's not many
roads left to follow ♪
BEA: That's when we met Jill LeBlanc,
and things really
did start to work out.
You know, I got family
you might wanna meet.
BEA: Mostly.
Jimmy went to prison.
Ken and I fell in love.
The twins, Ryan and Rhian,
came to live with us,
and
we swapped the drugs for the land.
A handshake deal with Jill's family.
Local smugglers.
(SIGHS) No paper trail.
That's why you didn't want me
to get a mortgage or investors.
We don't have a deed, Hon.
Just the word of a backwoods
crime family.
Come on, I mean, yes, they
used to do some shady shit,
but you make it seem like Jill
heads up a LeBlanc mafia.
You would be surprised what
that woman is capable of.
(FIRE CRACKLES)
Aunt Felicia knew.
She wrote everything down.
I put her journals in your firepit.
It just got out of control.
You almost burnt
my trailer to the ground!
You let me blame Rhian!
Mom, you could've told me about Jill,
the land, the fire, Jimmy,
any of the above!
- I mean, just a thought!
- I thought it would be best
To drag us into a smuggling disaster,
and kill yourself with stress?
I didn't want this place
to be your burden.
Oh! I wish I'd have known
that before I cleared out
- my bank account.
- I never asked you to!
You know what, you're right.
Thank you for that.
Now I can go back
to New York guilt-free.
I'm gonna pack.
By the way, worst vacation ever!

TERRY: Foxton PD, Officer Gallagher.
MOIRA: Moira Lancaster, RCMP.
Congratulations, you just
caught a high-profile
missing persons case.
Man missing in your jurisdiction.
- Shoot.
- Oscar Wallace.
Last seen at The Moonshine Resort.
(PEN THUMPS)
Sorry, um, conflict of interest.
- So I heard.
- Excuse me?
Ditching your wife
to bang her sister, huh?
Did you actually think
that would end well?
I don't see how my personal
life is relevant to
Sweet! No conflict of interest.
Hey, you ever lose a cop, Gallagher?
A friend?
Wallace is an undercover
officer, mine.
I'm worried.
Okay. I'm on it.
Oh, uh, you need to be
clear on one thing,
If he is okay, and you
compromise his cover
with the Finley-Cullens,
you'll be shit-canned.
You really think
the family's involved?
Just find my guy.
(DIAL TONE)
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)
CRYSTAL: I need your help, Mom.
Yeah, I didn't think you'd
call me to go out for tea.
Right. Well, um,
it's kind of a romantic story.
So Ryan thought that I was
sleeping with this guy, Oscar,
I wasn't, I was just using
his Vitamin C serum,
and also his rose toner.
Ooh, and his peptide
eye-brightening cream.
Have you tried that stuff?
It is like, bye-bye fine lines,
and puffy eyes.
Um, anyway, we kidnapped a cop,
and then he un-kidnapped himself,
and now we need your help to find him,
and I know that this sounds bad,
but there was a point
where we thought that Ryan
had murdered the cop,
so in the big scheme of things,
this is better.
What are you doing screwing
around with a cop?
I wasn't! At all!
He was screwing around with me.
And not sex stuff.
He made me his informant.
- Did I teach you nothing?!
- No, I'm not a rat!
I promise! Oscar tried
to get me to get dirt
on the Finley-Cullens about
like, smuggling or something,
um, but I made sure that
he didn't get anything!
I, I think.
Wow!
You've done some dumb shit
since you hooked up
with that bag of trailer trash.
Now I gotta find that cop,
or we are all going to jail.
Why would you go to jail?
Let's just say I'm a little
reluctant to uh,
share much with my Daughter,
the informant.
That makes sense.
You've always been such
a disappointment.
I know.
But I'm, I'm working so hard
to try and change that.
Like, I just wanna be like you, Mom.
(SCOFFS)
No, you are a trailblazer.
You know, you don't need
a man or, or anyone.
You're, you're like this
boss-ass babe,
and I respect you.
And
I just want you to feel
the same way about me.

(PENSIVE SIGH)
Can you keep that idiot on a leash?
And you'll help us find Oscar?
I mean, he's on foot and tied up,
so he can't have gotten far.
Me and the guys will look west,
and you cover the Shore Road.
You find him, you bring him
straight to me.

Lidia's leaving.
Victory.
Can't imagine she'll be back.
Not that there'll be anything
to come back to.
I thought if we told her
the truth, she'd understand.
Yeah, well
it turns out the truth

I'm gonna kill a box of wine

(SIGHS) Who's the dead guy?
♪
I got halfway through
digging a new grave,
which takes way longer
than it seems to on TV,
by the way, and then
I started wondering
if that makes me an accessory
to murder?
You couldn't have Googled that?
Now I'm an accessory, too. Shit!
Wait, how do you know
this was a murder?
Because people don't bash
their own skull to pieces
and then bury themselves
under a maple tree.
I mean, this could be anyone.
This could be
- hundreds of years old.
- Okay, uh
Viking roadkill. Hero's burial
under ceremonial tree.
We could put in the Moonshine
brochure.
He's wearing a Grateful Dead
belt buckle.
I could spin that.
Should we call Terry?
Hey, Ter, you know how
you've always wanted
to solve a cold case murder?
Well, have I got the
decomposing skeleton for you!
Oh, and when you lock us up,
could you please put us
in the nice prison?
We don't know this, him,
has anything to do with our family.
Do you wanna roll the dice on that?
Because the loser gets to pick
cellmate pubic hair
out of their teeth for 20 years.
Dad has always had a weird
thing with this tree.
Right? Decorating it,
sitting out here,
staring at it.
Go talk to him!
Have a nice little daddy-daughter
- hide a corpse outing.
- Uh, no, thank you!
You wanted this closet so bad,
this is your skeleton!
Oh! Shit! Who called him?!
God, it's like he knows
we're guilty of something.
- Do you think he knows?
- I will deal with Terry.
You and Dad deal with that.
Hey, Ter!
What's up?
Hi! (GIGGLES) Ohh
- Doing some landscaping?
- Yeah, you know,
never short on shit
to deal with around here.
How are you? Hey,
you wanna talk variety show?
Uh, no, no, I'm uh
I'm here about a missing person.
Oscar, your boyfriend,
or whatever he is.
Oh my God! He's missing?
That's amazing.
Rhian, he might be in danger.
He was, I thought he ditched me,
and I was gonna put his face
on the log splitter,
but now I might still
have a boyfriend?
- Wow!
- Congrats.
Anyway, I need to see
inside of his cabin,
do a search of the grounds and
interview some of the staff,
- see if anyone's seen anything.
- Of course, no problem.
- Okay.
- But I think I might know
where he is. Definitely not here,
but you have to take me with you.
Not the time for a ride-along.
Oh, please, I wanna be there
when you find him.
If you don't tell me what you know,
it's obstruction of justice.
(SIGHS) Jesus, don't cry.
I'm not. Crying is weak.
He's the only person I've ever loved.

Losing Oscar's been really
tough on me.
We had this connection.
He really heard me;
he really saw me.

a Roxy Music cassette.

I mean, when she gets her heart
broken, it really breaks her.

We have a psychic bond.
They did this test where they
stabbed one twin in the butt
Okay, Babe,
I'm gonna need you to focus,
so we can find Oscar,
and get him to my Mom.
Exactly! And then when we find him,
Rhian will know that
he didn't ditch her,
because he's got a heart. A big one.
Why are you standing up for him?
Like, he lied to her
about being a cop.
He used her like he tried to use me.
Oscar isn't like that.
Uh, that's literally what he did.
Yeah, but that's not like, who he is.
Okay, you know what, this isn't about
your flippin' sister,
and it isn't even about Oscar.

Only way you could get a hook-up?
Is that what this is?
Guess so.

- What do you remember?
Mm, I remember it was

- This makes so much sense.
After that night, Mom fell into
a wine pit of depression;
Dad disappeared into an
"it's all groovy" fugue state.
Yeah, and you ran away to New York.
Going to college is not running away.
No, it's bailing,

Same thing I did, figure it out!

your life happens to you, and it does,
because you never wanna take
a risk, or make a decision!
Thank you for the motivational speech.
- I'm right.
- Which is why I hate you!

Oh, you already got her husband.
Do you want her visor
and lawnmower, too?
She has her own little world,

Rigid rules, little boxes to check.
Metrics of happiness.
I can't even commit to an appetizer
without having an existential crisis.
Did she freak out with the body?
Remarkably even keel.
Went straight into planning mode.
Sociopath.
What did she remember from that
night when Jimmy disappeared?

Yes, she was! I was in

Or just give up.
I thought you were hell-bent

What did you do, Rhian?
Did you snap, and hurt Oscar?
How can you even ask me that?
Because you've never given up

The Moonshine is closed.

No, more like kind-nappers.

some things, he reacted,

And that is what I'm gonna

Wait, you mean like, cut us a deal?
Well, that's a misconception.
Police can't do that. Lawyers do.
But I have discretion to uh,
- not charge you, if I want.
- For real?
You'd not do that for us?
No, he wouldn't, and that
is why we need to drop him off
to my Mom so this freakin'
nightmare can be over!
And please, God, Ryan, stop
trying to mess up my life.
You think I'm trying
to mess up your life?
I don't think it,
at this point, I know it.

- And I envy Rhian.
Oh, you already got her husband.
Do you want her visor
and lawnmower, too?
She has her own little world,
you know?
Rigid rules, little boxes to check.
Metrics of happiness.
I can't even commit to an appetizer
without having an existential crisis.
Did she freak out with the body?
Remarkably even keel.
Went straight into planning mode.
Sociopath.
What did she remember from that
night when Jimmy disappeared?
- She wasn't there.
- Yes, she was.
Yes, she was! I was in
my "Reality Bites" phase.
- I taped the whole night.
- Could be a clue.
You keep that tape?
I got this t-shirt in grade nine.
Yeah, I kept the tape.

at the horrors of
NORA: The one night we met
our biological father,

Kicked her out of their jamboree

that girl's hair on fire.

Mom was a wreck that morning.
As if she'd been up all night.
LIDIA: Mom! Is that Jimmy,
and my new car?
Ugh, it's just Dad and Rhian.
She told me she sent Jimmy away,
and that I'd never see him again.
Is Jimmy here yet? He said
we could go for a drive.
- He's gone.
- I hate you!
I will never forgive you for this.
You were right,
Rhian wasn't there that night.

RHIAN: I didn't light her hair
on fire!
Neither was Dad.
He couldn't have killed Jimmy.

TERRY: Do you know where
Oscar is, or not?
I thought I did.
Wow, it is late!
(WHISTLES) Maybe we should
call it a night,
and start fresh in the morning?
Or just give up.
I thought you were hell-bent
on finding this guy!
What did you do, Rhian?
Did you snap, and hurt Oscar?
How can you even ask me that?
Because you've never given up
on anything in your entire life,
and you have a propensity
for violence.
Well, people change!
I mean, did you ever stop
to think about
what I have been through?
The Moonshine is closed.
My boyfriend is gone,
not to mention you cheating on me,
which, which was probably my fault.
Our marriage sucked.
It was totally dysfunctional
from the start.
Jesus, you're crying again,
you're taking blame for things.
Ah, something's gotten into you!
- MAN: That'll be $18.99, sir.
- Did I drive you away?
- Keep the change.
- Oh my God.
- Did I drive Oscar away?
- That's not what happened.
How do you know?
Because Oscar isn't just
a missing person.
He's a cop.
Undercover, his real name is
Colin Albert.
Colin?
(SCOFFS)
He doesn't look like a Colin!

Rhian from her jamboree
the night Jimmy disappeared.
Look, can we talk about this tomorrow?
Dad.
It's late, I'm half asleep.
We're not gonna settle
anything tonight.

wanna sit back here with you.
Oh, I didn't take it that way, at all.
I mean, I'm surprised you
let me out of the trunk

You bailing sucked pretty hard.
I violated your trust. I'm sorry.
No, stop! Stop manipulating him.
He's not manipulating, he's sharing.
Oh my God, this is not
a therapy session, okay?!
This is a re-kidnapping!
Oh, I don't, I don't think of
you guys as kidnappers at all.
No, more like kind-nappers.

Ryan was going through
some things, he reacted,
and this is all just a
big misunderstanding.
And that is what I'm gonna
tell my boss. Scout's honour.
Wait, you mean like, cut us a deal?
Well, that's a misconception.
Police can't do that. Lawyers do.
But I have discretion to uh,
- not charge you, if I want.
- For real?
You'd not do that for us?
No, he wouldn't, and that
is why we need to drop him off
to my Mom so this freakin'
nightmare can be over!
And please, God, Ryan, stop
trying to mess up my life.
You think I'm trying
to mess up your life?
I don't think it,
at this point, I know it.
Uh, just backing up a little,
what is your Mom exactly
gonna do to me?
