[newsman on radio] The Vietnam
News Agency also reported this morning
that several US planes yesterday attacked
the college of Vĩnh Phúc province
in North Vietnam.
The planes dropped more than 100 bombs
and fired many rockets,
according to the report.
Within seven minutes,
US bombs and rockets

- [man] There we go.
[singing along] I was a lonely
Teenage broncin' buck ♪
With a pink carnation
And a pickup truck ♪
But I knew I was out of luck ♪
The day the music died ♪
I started singing ♪
- Whoa.
- [song continues on radio]
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry ♪
Them good ol' boys
Were drinkin' whiskey and rye ♪
And singin'
"This'll be the day that I die" ♪
- "This'll be the day" ♪
- [radio stops]
[woman] Hi.
Where are you headed?
San Francisco.
- What you doing there?
- Going to a peace march with my friends.
Hmm. You're not gonna make me
talk politics the whole drive, are you?
If I say yes, are you
gonna leave me stranded here?
Maybe.
[chuckles]
[chuckles lightly]
Oh yeah?
Why is that?
I'm really more of a sex, drugs,
and rock and roll kind of guy.
[woman] Mmm.
I'm sure we can find
something to talk about.
So, about that ride
- You're in luck.
- Yes!
I'm heading to see the Stones
at Winterland. I'll drop you on the way.
What's your name?
Sarah.
- Hello, Sarah.
- ["American Pie" resumes playing]
We were singin'
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie ♪
- Oh, I love this song.
- [volume increasing]
You know this song?
Everybody knows this song.
[both laughing]
Singin'
"This'll be the day that I die" ♪
[Mel] Wait, I'm sorry.
You met my mom hitchhiking?
Is that really so hard to believe?
Well, yeah, kind of! I mean, it just
It seems so unlike her.
Well, it was the '70s.
That kind of thing happened all the time.
[chuckles]
What was she like back then?
She was like you.
Sharp as a tack.
Beautiful.
But what I loved most about her
was her laugh.
[Sarah laughing infectiously]
What do you mean you don't like Bob Dylan?
Okay, I I get that he's your hero,
but his voice just
I don't know,
it sounds like a cat complaining.
He's the greatest songwriter of all time.
Oh, come on!
"Lay, Lady, Lay,"
uh, "Like a Rolling Stone,"
"Blowin' in the Wind"
I do like that one.
Of course you do.
It's a protest song. [laughs]
You ever write a protest song?
No. Hell no.
I don't even like thinking about the war.
Why not?
Because I'm just
trying to have fun, Sarah,
or at least as much as I can possibly have
before they send me over there to die.
- [loud rattle]
- [engine sputters]
Ugh
Uh, what was that?
[engine stops]
Grab the wheel.
[Sarah] What? Why?
We're gonna give her a push start,
find an auto shop.
I'm not missing the Stones
over a damn pothole.
- Have you done this before?
- No, but we're gonna work it out.
Okay.
Start the ignition, put her in second.
[Sarah] Okay.
Okay, on my signal, pop the clutch.
Okay, got it.
Here goes nothing.
Okay!
[grunting]
- [Sarah] Now?
- Wait.
Not yet.
- Now! Now! Now! Go!
- [engine sputtering]
- [engine starting]
- Oh my God, it's working! It's working!
- Yes! Oh!
- It's working!
- Hurry up!
- Hey, keep her steady.
- Okay! Hurry up!
- Keep her steady!
[grunting]
[engine running]
[both laughing]
Oh my God! I can't believe that worked!
Where the hell are we?
I have no idea.
[tranquil music playing]
[uplifting music playing]
[Jack] Uh, okay, I feel like
I'm going to battle wearing a blindfold.
You sure there's nothing
you're not telling me?
How many times you gotta ask me that, man?
The answer is still no.
Sorry, I just I don't wanna
say the wrong thing out there, you know?
- [door opens]
- You won't! Okay?
Nothing in discovery
raised any red flags about Jack
or any other surprise witness
Jenkins wants to call.
I'm not sweating this.
Neither should you, so quit pacing.
You'll wear out your boots.
But why Jack?
My best guess
is they're gonna want to question him
about Iraq and Afghanistan,
try to establish that Preacher
has a history of violent behavior.
Going after a vet
for defending our country?
Good luck with that.
[Brie] No, I know.
Jenkins is grasping at straws.
But if that is his angle,
I'll pick it apart on the cross.
So we're good.
Okay.
Well, if that's the best they got,
they picked the wrong fight, right?
- [knock on door]
- [Brie] Come in.
Counsel, Judge wants to get going.
Thank you. We'll be right in.
Hey. You ready for this?
[sighs]
Ready as I'll ever be.
[Lizzie] I'm telling you,
I didn't make it up.
I don't know what's more ridiculous,
you telling me hippophobia
means a fear of horses,
or you claiming to have it.
He's a 900-pound wild animal!
Oh, buck up. He's a gentle giant.
Just don't stand behind him.
You'll be fine.
Sugar, time for breakfast.
[Sugar huffs weakly]
Sugar!
[Muriel] On his way out earlier,
Denny asked me
to schedule a meeting with you.
Wanted to, how did he put it,
"Get something on the books."
So I told him end of day would be best.
- [phone ringing]
- Ah, excuse me.
Hey there, Hope.
Are you okay?
[sputters]
[gently] Don't worry.
Don't worry. I'm on it.
Okay. ASAP.
I gotta see a woman about a horse.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
How is my schedule?
Uh, let me see. You are good
until four o'clock with Ms. Palmer.
[Doc] Ah, okay, terrific.
And, uh, what time is Mel coming in?
Well, I'm not sure,
because she wanted to check on her father.
Ah
Well, can you hold down the fort
until she gets here?
Consider this Fort Knox, sir.
Where is the Manuka honey?
Oh! I got that.
- There you go.
- Ah.
- Good luck with the horse.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
[Jo Ellen] Yoo-hoo! Muriel!
Well, good morning, ladies.
Are you here to gossip or to gossip?
Well, actually, dear, we're here because
we have the cure for your broken heart.
Oh, for goodness' sake.
It's time for you
to get back out there, missy.
And we would love to set you up with one
of Virgin River's most eligible bachelors.
Girls, please, I don't want to be
How about Sam Edwards?
- The butcher?
- I think he's quite the dreamboat.
Well, the last conversation we had,
he spent a half an hour
explaining the difference
between a foreshank and a flank cut.
What about John Tanners?
You know, lives out near Charlie.
With the ear hair? Really?
Walt Booth.
Who is Walt Booth?
Retired Army general. Lives in Dinsmore.
Very kind eyes.
Well
He's a bit of a, you know, silver fox.
So you'll meet him?
Fine. One date.
- [Connie chuckles]
- Are you happy?
As a littleneck clam.
'Cause I already told him
that you said yes.
[gasps] Connie!
I booked a table for you,
tonight, at DeCarlo's.
And, um, Muriel, don't embarrass me.
Wear something sensible.
[Jo Ellen clears throat]
[Jenkins] Mr. Sheridan, would you tell
the jury how you first met the defendant?
Yeah, we served together in the Marines.
Well, we thank you for your service.
Mr. Sheridan, would it be fair
to describe your experience as traumatic?
Objection, Your Honor. Leading.
Sustained.
Mr. Jenkins, please rephrase or move on.
Apologies, Your Honor.
How would you characterize
your time overseas, Mr. Sheridan?
It was challenging.
And the defendant's service?
- Honorable.
- And how do you define honorable?
Well, I think, um, his Purple Heart
kind of speaks for itself.
[gentle music playing]
Still no word from the vet?
Dr. Coleman finally called back, but she
can't make it out until this evening.
- [Doc sighs]
- What if Sugar doesn't make it that long?
I promise you I will do everything in
my power to make sure he does, all right?
Now let's go see how our patient's doing.
[Sugar huffs]
- Hey.
- [Sugar snorts]
Hey, Sugar.
[Sugar breathing softly]
[Sugar whinnies loudly]
See? Hippophobia.
- Here, let me calm him down.
- [Doc] Yeah.
- [Hope] Hey, sweetheart. Hi.
- [Doc] Hey, Sugar.
- [Sugar grunts]
- [Hope] Shh, shh, shh.
Okay. Just rest. You're okay.
You're a good boy.
Oh. Where'd you learn to do that?
[Hope and Doc] Roland.
Who is Roland?
My ex-husband.
He had a big, stupid ranch.
Taught me everything I know about horses.
All right. Now, just keep doing
what you're doing.
- [Hope] Sweet boy. You're doing good.
- I wanna take a look at this.
- [Hope] Yeah.
- Closer. Easy now, Sugar.
The man's gonna look at your leg, Sugar.
It's okay.
Yeah, this wound looks infected,
and that would explain his lethargy.
[Hope softly] Yeah.
Is that honey?
- It's Manuka honey.
- Yeah, it's gonna feel good.
Which is an antibacterial,
and it'll help us until the vet gets here.
But in the meantime,
I'm gonna clean this wound,
then I'm gonna suture it up.
I'm gonna wrap this leg.
- [Sugar snorts softly]
- [Hope shushing]
- [Doc] Easy, easy.
- Oh my God.
- That's it, Sugar. That's it.
- Shh, shh, shh. It's okay.
Well, it seems like
you guys have it covered,
and I've got prenatal yoga, so
I'm just gonna Yeah.
[Lizzie exhales]
[Doc] Easy, Sugar. That's it.
Shh. Baby, it's okay.
[grunting]
[Roy] Nice work.
I'm coming for your belt, Roy.
- Give me a month, I'm coming for it.
- Yeah?
You gotta beat the best to be the best,
brother.
- [Brady] Whatever.
- Any idea when the chief's coming in?
She's tied up at the courthouse.
Lady sure does
take a lot of time off, huh?
Her boyfriend's trial started today.
Just making an observation.
Okay.
[panting]
[pensive music playing]
[Mel] All right.
Well, your pulse is strong,
and your heartbeat is regular,
so as far as I'm concerned,
you have a clean bill of health.
Well, I tried to tell you that
the other day.
Oh, that's very funny.
[laughs]
So, um
Did you make it there?
Where?
To see the Stones?
- [tools clattering]
- [indistinct chatter]
Yep.
Good news, bad news.
Good news, I can fix your van.
Bad news, you're gonna need a new starter.
How long is that gonna take?
[Franklin] About 48 hours, give or take.
And if you think you're cutting the line,
you hippies have another thing coming.
Don't worry, Connie. You know the drill.
First come, first served.
Is there somewhere
we might be able to stay
while we're waiting for the starter?
You know, we're not from around here,
and we're not exactly flush.
Don't sweat the cost. I'm just gonna
charge you for the parts, not the service.
That's the Virgin River way.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
But, you know, pickings are kind of slim
when it comes to lodging.
Hey, you two the outdoorsy type?
Uh, not really. I
I mean, I keep a tent
in the van in case of emergencies. Why?
Because there's this
pretty little campground nearby.
Perfect for a romantic weekend.
Better than any motel
you'll find for miles around.
- We're not actually
- No, no, no! Trust me.
You won't regret it.
I'm even gonna get my son
to show you the way.
Hey, Bert! Get in here!
You want to show these nice people
to the campground nearby, down the river?
You got it, Pop.
Come on.
[Franklin] That's my boy.
Come on, honey.
Nice man said we wouldn't regret it.
Enjoy yourselves.
Connie! Who's next?
[camera clicks]
I take it you haven't had
many emergencies.
Ah, what can I say?
I guess I'm just a lucky guy.
[Sarah] Oh! Uh-huh.
[camera clicks]
[laughing]
[Sarah laughing]
[Everett] At least we got the essentials.
Fire, whiskey.
[Sarah chuckles]
[playing soft guitar melody]
Mind if I
[coughs]
Didn't think city girls
could shoot the hard stuff.
[soft guitar melody continues]
[Sarah] Mmm
Is that one of your songs?
Yeah.
Sounds like a love song.
Who's it about?
That is for me to know.
And you to find out.
- [Sarah] Oh!
- [both laugh]
[melody continues]
[sighs]
Why don't you ditch the march?
Come see the Stones with me.
You really think I'm that easy?
[chuckling]
So you skip one march.
What's the big deal?
Well, the big deal
is that when you believe in something
like I do
you don't let anything get in your way.
Even a handsome musician
with a tempting offer.
[Everett] Ah, stop.
[Sarah laughing]
But, I mean, you know,
I wouldn't expect you to understand.
- What is that supposed to mean?
- You know. You said it yourself.
All you care about is having a good time.
Sure.
But that doesn't mean
I don't have beliefs.
Okay.
Enlighten me.
Uh I, uh
Uh-huh?
[laughs]
I believe in love at first sight,
the power of songs in minor keys,
and listening to your heart
when it's trying to tell you something.
What's your heart
trying to tell you right now?
Right now, my heart is telling me
if I don't kiss you,
I might spend
the rest of my life regretting it.
Well, that would be a shame.
[sweet music playing]
[Sarah laughing]
[crowd clamoring]
[crowd] Peace now! Peace now! Peace now!
[crowd shouting and chanting]
[crowd] Peace now! Peace now!
Peace now! Peace now!
[chanting continues]
[crowd] Hell no, we won't go!
Hell no, we won't go!
[sighs]
Peace.
- [Everett] Sarah!
- [car door closes]
Sarah!
I, uh
I guess this is the end of the road.
I guess so.
Yeah.
[soft music playing]
Thanks for the ride, man!
Sarah!
[crowd clamoring loudly]
[crowd] What do we want? Peace!
When do we want it? Now!
What do we want? Peace!
When do we want it? Now!
I don't even know your last name!
[crowd chanting]
[woman] Sarah!
- [Sarah] Ahh!
- [woman] You made it!
- Oh, isn't this groovy?
- It's amazing!
[crowd] When do we want it? Now!
- Sarah.
- [clamoring continues]
Sarah?
[clamoring continues]
When do we want it? Now!
[Everett] Sarah!
What are you doing?
I gotta see you again.
I can't hear you!
I need to see you again.
You will!
How?
I don't know.
Fate.
[clamoring continues]
My mom believed in fate?
She was a hopeless romantic.
And the love of my life.
But every romance is a tragedy in the end.
Sorry.
I know that's not in the wedding spirit.
No, it's It's fine. I'm
Actually, I used to believe
the same thing.
I I was married before.
His name was Mark.
And, uh, when he died,
I can't tell you how many mornings
I could barely get myself out of bed.
But the end of one love story
can be the beginning of another.
I'm truly sorry for your loss.
But do you really believe that?
I mean, yeah.
I'm I'm proof.
[phone chiming and buzzing]
- [Mel] Sorry.
- Duty calls?
Yeah. I'm teaching a prenatal yoga class
at the, uh, birthing center.
So
Would it be okay if I come back tomorrow?
I'm looking forward to it already.
Okay.
Great.
[sighs]
Oh, this is one of Jack's favorite books.
Oh! Good man.
I read it, like, I don't know,
a million years ago. [chuckles]
"The world breaks everyone."
"And afterward, many are strong
at the broken places."
Do you remember what it's about?
A soldier who falls in love with a nurse.
Take it with you.
I think you'll enjoy revisiting it.
Okay. Thanks.
To the best of your knowledge,
has the defendant ever lied to you?
Never.
No, I've known Preacher
for almost 20 years.
He's my best friend
and a man of great integrity.
So when the defendant called you
on the day of the murder
and told you that he was leaving the bar,
where did he tell you he was going?
Um, I don't
I don't recall.
Well, allow me to jog your memory,
Mr. Sheridan.
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
Your Honor, may we approach?
Not now.
- Continue, Mr. Jenkins.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
Mr. Sheridan, do you recognize this voice?
[Preacher on recording] Hey, it's me.
Listen, everything with Paige worked out.
She just has to leave town
for a family emergency
and needed help
shutting off the main water valve.
So I'm just gonna
stop by my house and, um
I'll be back to go through the receipts.
Okay. Bye.
Your Honor, I object.
This is a gross discovery violation.
That voicemail
was never provided to the defense.
Actually, Your Honor, that information
was provided in electronic data.
[judge] Overruled.
Continue, Mr. Jenkins.
Mr. Sheridan, whose voice
did we all just hear?
And I'll remind you
that you're under oath.
Mr. Sheridan, could you please
answer the question?
- Preacher's.
- That's correct.
So, what do you make of the fact
that according to county records,
the water valve at Paige's house
was never shut off on that day?
- Objection. Assumes facts not in evidence.
- [judge] Sustained.
Mr. Jenkins, what are you getting at?
All I'm wondering, Your Honor,
is if the defendant,
this man of great integrity,
would lie to his best friend
about what he was doing
at the time of the murder,
what is he trying to hide?
Your Honor, the DA
is completely out of line.
This is the first time
I'm hearing about this voicemail.
I'm gonna stop you both right there.
There's clearly some confusion
about this voicemail.
So why don't you review your discovery?
And I'll be in my chambers
when you're ready
to get to the bottom of this.
Court is in recess until tomorrow.
[gavel bangs]
[bailiff] All rise.
[Preacher exhales]
[softly] It's okay. We got this.
[grave music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[gasping]
- [grave music fades]
- [phone chimes]
[gentle music playing]
[Jack] Hey.
- You okay?
- I'm fine. How's Preacher?
Well, he's shell-shocked.
How'd that son of a bitch
get my voicemail?
I have no idea.
I'm pretty sure I know.
[gentle music continues]
[Mel] We're gonna bring
the soles of our feet together.
Into butterfly.
Let's sit up nice and tall.
[woman] Oh!
[Mel] We lean forward with our chest.
We're just gonna hold this pose here
and try to relax into it
and focus on connecting with your baby.
[softly] Is she sure
it's safe for Marley to hold this pose?
[softly] I don't know.
She looks uncomfortable.
Um, guys, I'm eight months pregnant,
so I'm always uncomfortable.
[whispers] I'm sorry.
[whispers] It's okay.
Um, Marley's perfectly fine.
Today's practice was designed
for all trimesters.
Yep.
[Marley softly] Okay.
Your parents?
Oh, uh
No, not mine.
His.
They're adopting him.
- [Marley] Thanks for a great class, Mel.
- Oh, you're welcome! How are you feeling?
Um, now that my chakras are aligned,
it's like I'm a whole trimester lighter.
- [Marley chuckling]
- [Mel] Oh! I'm very glad to hear that.
I'm sorry about Phil and Darla.
They can be a little bit, um
- Involved.
- Yeah! That's a nice way of putting that.
Aw, no, you know what?
I think it's really sweet that they're
so invested in your pregnancy.
- [Marley grunts]
- Yeah.
My fiancé and I
are actually looking to adopt,
and once we match with our birth mother,
I'm pretty sure we're gonna be
acting exactly like that.
Oh, I I really don't think you will,
but that is kind of you to say.
[Mel laughs] Well
How far along in the process are you?
Oh, you know what? We're still
just working on our applications.
We're planning a wedding, and it's just
kind of taken a back seat for now.
Did you find Phil and Darla
through an agency?
Uh, yeah.
I met with a bunch of prospective parents,
but with them, it just kind of clicked.
What was it about them,
if you don't mind me asking?
No. No, not at all.
Um
They're kind, and generous, and
very nurturing.
Pretty much everything you could hope for
in adoptive parents.
But if I'm honest,
it was also something about this town.
They offered to put me up
until my little boy gets here,
and as soon as I pulled in,
I knew the greatest gift I could give him
was growing up in a place like this.
Yeah.
Plus, it has
this great new birthing center.
- I know! Yeah.
- [laughing] So
[Sugar snorts softly]
- [Doc] Keep it steady.
- [softly] Yeah.
- [Doc] Almost there.
- Okay.
[Doc] Okay. Easy, Sugar, easy.
- And that is that.
- [Sugar huffs softly]
[Hope] Good boy.
[Doc] Good boy.
[Doc grunts]
You know, I just gotta say
that today is the first day
I heard you mention Roland's name
and not call him the devil incarnate.
Vernon Mullins, is that jealousy?
I'm flattered.
For the record, no, I am not jealous.
It's just pointing out the fact.
Well, for the record, he was even worse.
Should have left him
a lot sooner than I did, but
the horses made it hard to leave.
- Yeah.
- [Sugar sighs softly]
It's strange being on the farm
without Lilly.
Yeah, it sure is.
[Hope] Don't get me wrong. I'm
I'm thrilled that Mel and Jack
are making this place their own, but
When Sugar turned up, it made me realize
how little of Lilly
is left in Virgin River.
- [Doc] Yeah.
- Yeah.
Well, we've got the community garden.
I know, but without Lilly's daughters, it
it doesn't seem quite right.
Sugar's the last Anderson left in town.
Tell him he's gonna be okay.
Oh, well, we have done everything we can
until Dr. Coleman gets here, so
[Hope softly] Sweetie.
Look, I gotta get back to the clinic,
but if anything changes,
you call me right away, okay?
Thank you for today.
It means the world.
[Sugar huffs softly]
- [hopeful music playing]
- [Sugar huffs softly]
[Preacher on recording] Hey, it's me.
Yeah, listen
[recording stops]
- This is my fault. This is all my fault.
- [Brie] No, no. This is on me.
No, neither of you did anything wrong.
Jack, after you got shot,
I gave your phone to Jenkins.
I totally forgot about it.
Yeah, because it was almost a year ago
and about a separate investigation.
No, no, this voicemail
was hiding here the entire time.
- I just missed it.
- You didn't miss anything.
Jenkins is a snake. He buried it.
- Yeah, and I walked into the trap like a
- [Preacher] Guys, listen.
Now, I appreciate you all having my back,
but I'm the one who got us into this.
Now, no one here is to blame but me.
So what's our next move?
Well, Jenkins got Jack's phone without
a warrant and with limited consent,
so I'm gonna make a motion
to get the voicemail suppressed
and to strike Jack's testimony
from the record.
What'll that do?
It'll help.
But even if the judge grants the motion,
the jury still heard what they heard.
- Yeah, great.
- [Mike] That's why he did it.
Dirty move, but you can't unring a bell.
Hey.
You remember what we used to say
in the Corps when things went sideways?
Improvise, adapt, overcome.
That's right.
You're gonna beat this, okay?
But I need you to believe that now
as much as you did yesterday, man.
[Brie] Jack, Mike, why don't you guys
go home, all right?
Tomorrow's a new day.
We are gonna hang back and talk strategy.
Are you sure
you don't want me to stick around?
No. No, this is my fight.
You go be with your fiancée.
- Call me on your way home.
- I will. Yeah.
You got this.
What now?
You two sit tight. I'm gonna
talk to the judge about the motion,
and then we will figure out
how to win this jury back.
[Lark] I don't know.
We'll figure something out.
I'll call you tomorrow.
[tearfully] I love you too.
What's wrong?
It's
[crying] It's my mom.
Is she okay?
Not really, no.
She's sick, Brady.
What do you mean, she's sick?
She's had kidney disease for a while,
and it's taken a turn.
She She needs to go on dialysis.
But she doesn't have insurance,
and there's no way she can afford it, so
Jesus.
Lark.
Is there Is there anything I can do?
No. She's my problem.
Can you just Will you hold me?
Yeah.
Always, baby. Come here.
[gentle music playing]
[kisses]
[Lark sobbing softly]
[dark music playing]
[sighs]
Ah! Is that a fresh pot?
- Mm-hmm. You want some?
- Yes, please.
[Mel] Okay.
How was your day?
It was pretty good.
I, uh, saw Everett this morning.
Ah.
Yeah. He's feeling much better.
Good.
[sighs] All right, look.
If you are going to be a grump
every time we talk about him,
I'm not gonna fight you on it.
But whatever happened
between the two of you,
it seems like it happened a long time ago,
and maybe you don't know everything
[sternly] Look, trust me.
I know everything
I need to know about that man.
[Denny] Hello, Grandpa.
I spoke to Muriel earlier.
She said now might be a good time.
Yeah.
Now is the perfect time.
Let's, uh, go into my office.
[phone chiming and buzzing]
Hey, babe.
How's it going at the courthouse?
[Jack] Uh, not great. Can you talk?
Hold on a second.
[Doc] So,
you wanted to speak to me?
What do you think about giving me
an internship at the clinic?
If I'm gonna practice emergency medicine.
I'd really love to start getting
some hands-on experience.
And who better to learn from than you?
I wasn't aware we needed an intern.
I figured you'd say that,
so I came up with a bunch of ways
I could fill in some of the holes.
What holes?
I mean, for one, who's gonna fix
the router when the Internet goes down?
- What the hell is a router?
- Exactly.
I could help Mel at the birthing center
whenever she needs a hand.
Well, it's a nice idea,
but I can't say I'm convinced.
Well, I'll do the office grunt work.
What grunt work?
You know, everything that Muriel does
on top of her actual job.
And, um, I could
I could sanitize the exam room
between patients
to cut down on wait times.
Actually, and you know what? Lizzie says
I give a really good foot rub
All right, all right, all right!
Quit groveling.
You're hired.
Really?
Yes, but don't expect
any special treatment.
Outside these walls, I may be Grandpa,
but inside this clinic, it's Dr. Mullins.
I wouldn't have it
any other way, Dr. Mullins.
[gentle music playing]
Congratulations. Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
Look, uh, I gotta go.
Hey, you feeling the heat, counsel?
- What do you want, Roger?
- To end this thing today.
Why the hell would you want to do that?
Because I got a docket full of cases
on top of a campaign,
and you got 12 people in that jury box
who aren't gonna believe
a word your client has to say, or hell,
maybe I'm just feeling generous.
Are you suggesting a deal?
Ta-da!
[ladies hesitate]
What? Too Was this too Too casual?
Well, you look like a picnic table.
I told you not to bring that one.
Well, here. Here, try this one, dear.
Oh, and give us your best Dorothy Lamour.
[laughs]
Okay.
[titters]
[sighs]
[pensive music playing]
- Oh my God.
- [Hope softly] Yeah.
What the hell happened?
He just stood up.
[peaceful music plays]
- Sugar.
- [Hope laughing]
- We did it.
- We did it.
Come here.
- Good boy. What a good boy.
- What a good
- [door opens]
- [Jack exhales heavily]
- [dog barks]
- Oh! Hey, girl.
[sighs]
Hey.
[exhales] Hey.
- You want to talk about it?
- Nah.
Not really.
- [somber song playing]
- [Jack exhales]
Oh
It's gonna be okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[somber song continues]
Can I be close to you? ♪
Is it okay if I do? ♪
Can we just be here still? ♪
If you say yes, I will ♪
I will ♪
I will ♪
[somber song continues]
Can we just be here still? ♪
If you say yes, I will ♪
- I will ♪
- [song fades]
It was just It was like I got to know
this side of my mom
I didn't even know existed.
- [Jack] Mmm.
- You know?
But you know the craziest part?
[Jack] Mmm.
He's still in love with her.
Oh, poor guy.
I know.
[sighs heavily]
But at the same time,
if it weren't for all of his heartache,
and if it weren't for my heartache,
then I might not be
in this bathtub with you, so
You saying it's fate?
- [Jack laughs] You know
- Stop it! Yes.
- Yes!
- Mm-hmm.
What Okay, mister,
how do you explain my dad
picking my mom up
off the side of the road,
them getting stuck in the same town
where I walk into your bar
all these years later?
- Hmm?
- [Jack sputters] That's just
Well, what? What is it?
- Coincidence.
- Okay.
It is!
Okay, it's a remarkable coincidence.
- But it's still a coincidence.
- Ugh.
- Fine.
- [laughs]
Look, all I'm saying is that
[sighs] I've just
I've spent so many years
wishing things hadn't happened
the way that they have.
- But
- [Jack] Mmm.
they all brought me to you, so
[Jack] Hmm.
"The world breaks everyone."
"And afterwards, many are strong
at the broken places."
Hemingway.
[Mel] Mm-hmm.
You're reading Hemingway?
- Yes.
- What?
Everett lent me his copy
of A Farewell to Arms.
Wow, okay. I like this guy
more and more every day.
Yeah, I told him
it was one of your favorites.
- Yeah, I love that book so much.
- Mm-hmm.
I read so much Hemingway
when I was overseas.
I got Preacher hooked on him.
[bittersweet music playing]
Are you sure
you don't wanna talk about it?
I just don't want to lose
another brother, you know?
[Mel sighs]
Hey, no matter what happens,
you're gonna get through this.
Okay?
Because you are strong
at the broken places.
Thanks.
Preacher's gonna be okay too.
Yeah.
Yeah, I hope so.
- [traffic hums faintly]
- [bittersweet music continues]
[Brie] Uh
Jenkins is offering us a plea deal.
- Manslaughter.
- Why would he do that?
He played his best card
with the voicemail,
so now he's trying to wrap this up
with our backs against the wall.
- So what does the plea mean as far as
- I negotiated him down to the minimum.
Two years.
With good behavior,
you could be out in one.
I know, this is not
the outcome we were expecting.
So what if I don't take the deal?
We do damage control.
Roll the dice with the jury.
But worst case,
murder in the first degree
- Is 25 to life. Yeah, I know.
- [menacing music playing]
If I plea,
they won't go after Paige, right?
Depending on the prosecutor,
it could actually incentivize them
to double down on finding her.
- Come on, that's insane.
- All of this is insane!
- [tense music playing]
- [Preacher scoffs]
[Brie sighing] Look
As your attorney,
I think you'd be smart to take the plea.
I am going to get that voicemail tossed,
but we have our work cut out
to win over the jury.
As your friend
I'm right behind you
if you want to go out there
and fight to clear your name.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
[tense music continues]
You know, I, uh I get it.
This is too much.
It's not what you signed up for.
Damn right.
And if you want out, I understand.
You know, no hard feelings.
Out?
You think I want out?
- I want justice.
- So do I.
But I can't take that plea if it means
that Paige and Christopher won't be safe.
But if I go down,
I am gonna lose you forever, and
I can't live with that either,
so you tell me, what am I supposed to do?
[Kaia] I don't know!
I just wish the jury could see you
for who you really are.
I wish they could see
that all you did that day was help
a woman in need.
I wish they could see
that the man that I love
is the greatest man I've ever known.
That's right.
I am in love with you, John.
[resilient music playing]
And if they could see the man that I see,
they would know
you didn't take a life that day.
You saved one.
Right.
No deal.
You put me on the stand.
