When Calls The Heart (2014) s12e10 Episode Script

1
Previously on When Calls the Heart
I go on one little stakeout
and you find more trouble
than the jail sees in a year.
[GRUNTS]
Diane DeMarco loves trouble.
The path, it's permanently blocked.
McGinty.
If I'd have known that we
Hopefully we'll do better on this case.
I think we're off to
a pretty good start.
Your uncle was in possession
of some gold coins.
Oh, Ernie, what have
you gotten us into now?
I will be signing an executive order.
You're declaring war.
And that's when Algae,
the Great says algebras-am!
Reveal your true identity!
So solving for X, the answer is 33.
[LAUGHS] Oh!
[APPLAUSE]
That is really coming along.
We were thinking for our final project
we could do a whole series on books.
Like a comic book version
of Great Expectations.
Or Macbeth with lots of blood.
Oh, have you given any thought
to how this project might make
a difference in your community?
Uh, maybe it can help
kids learn tricky subjects
in a more fun way.
And it makes adults less
suspicious of comics.
Okay. Keep going.
Now, who is next?
Let's see.
Emily, would you like to share
what you've been working on?
I don't really have anything yet.
Oh, well, that's okay.
It's lunchtime anyway.
Everyone enjoy.
[BELL RINGING]
Emily would you stay
for a minute so we can talk?
Jack.
Is it time for school, Mama?
Oh, my goodness, honey bear.
Why don't you go outside
and get some fresh air?
LJ. You want to go play baseball?
I'm so sorry, Mrs. Thornton.
I did have ideas, but
none of them seemed right.
Well, let's think.
You've been busy this year with
Mr. Gowen's hazelnut business.
But that's a business.
I don't see how that
affects the community,
besides giving them nuts to eat.
How about we meet at
the orchard after school?
I'm sure if we put our heads together,
we can come up with something.
You still okay for lunch?
Absolutely.
- So how was your morning?
- Oh, it was pretty good.
Actually, I, uh, got
some interesting news.
Apparently, I've been
promoted to Chief Constable.
Nathan Grant!
It's more of a change in
title than anything, really.
That is amazing.
And quite the recognition,
after all, your daring
do with the Garrisons.
Honestly, I'm surprised
Hargraves approved it.
How's your morning?
It was good.
The children are doing amazing
work on their final projects.
Although I'm a bit concerned.
Little Jack fell asleep in class today.
Do you think he's coming
down with something?
He wasn't warm.
I suspect he's staying up
late reading comic books.
Oh. I was gonna ask him
if he wanted to go for
a pony ride on Saturday.
Oh.
Get away from those comic
books, get some fresh air.
I think he'd love that. I'll ask him.
Now, tell me more about your promotion.
[LAUGHING]
[KNOCKING]
Good morning, Governor.
I see you got the summons.
Illegal abuse of office,
profiteering and fraud.
I'm being sued for creating a park.
I know. It's ridiculous.
So you had nothing to do with this?
I no longer represent
Arthur Jeremiah McGinty.
You finally cut yourself loose.
Well done.
What about your loan?
He's just letting it go.
I have three days to satisfy my debt
or the ranch is his.
- Edie, I don't
- Please
It's not your concern.
I'll find a way.
We just need to figure out how
to keep this from blowing up.
He's already blown it up.
The question is, how do we respond?
♪
Bill! Bill!
We have so much to discuss.
Two Garrisons in prison,
both under interrogation.
The Valley Voice is standing
by and ready to share.
- Yeah, well
- Of course, the question on everybody's mind.
- Where is the gold?
- Rosemary
Well, ain't that just a question.
Georgie?
Well, I
Well Um
Inspector Georgia
McGill, Financial Crimes.
Bill calls me Georgie.
Oh.
Uh, I have heard so much about you.
Apparently, you and Bill
have quite the history.
Not to mention trapping Sonny Garrison
by pulling out that coin
during the interrogation.
Mm. Brilliant maneuver.
And you are?
Rosemary Coulter, Valley Voice.
- Oh, a journalist.
- Mm-hmm.
Who knows classified information
about an open investigation.
Well, not full detail, just, uh
He was very withholding.
We appreciate that, love,
but this is police business protocol.
Bill.
Bill, I swear, if you were
doing this to me again,
shutting me out by trying to protect me
just when a story is starting
to starting to get good.
It's not like that at all.
Now you'll know what
I know when I know it.
All right. Remember, we're a team.
[GEORGIE CLEARS THROAT]
Yes.
Rosemary, this is police business.
Sorry, gotta go.
Take a look at this.
They're suing you over a park?
Mm.
Well, we knew McGinty was
against shared land use,
but I didn't think the
ranchers were gonna go this far.
He's got his hooks in them.
I'm assuming this is one of
Miss Martell's brilliant ideas.
She no longer works for McGinty.
So she finally chose
a side. Good for her.
And she's gonna pay the price for it.
So I'm going up there.
- Heck, yeah, you are.
- Hold on.
There's no point in making this worse.
It's not going to take this lying down.
At least let me go with
you. Keep things civil.
That's a good idea.
Fine.
Thank you.
And we're making hazelnut cookies,
hazelnut butter,
hazelnut brittle, that's a new one.
Mm. Sounds delicious.
Is it bring your teacher to work day?
We are looking for ideas
for Emily's final project.
Well, she's got plenty of
ideas and sawdust there.
Well, it's going to make sure
that we have a real surplus next year.
I put it on the roots of the trees.
It protects them over the winter.
- Huh?
- We had an early frost this year.
Could have lost a lot of the saplings.
But we're looking real good now.
Well, that was a very clever idea.
I read about it in
Agricultural Business Magazine.
[LAUGHS] Where did you get all of it?
From Mr. Coulter. He was
happy to give it away.
He says he's just dumping it.
So you are helping Mr.
Coulter avoid polluting
and finding a use for the waste?
Yeah, she's helping
us with our trees, too.
That sounds like a project
that's making a difference
in your community.
I guess it does.
But how do I connect that to
math and history and literature?
Let's see what you come up with.
Okay, I will.
This could be good.
She's a bright girl.
She has an excellent mentor.
I think you meant teacher.
[LAUGHS]
And a smidge of nutmeg.
What is a smidge?
A little more than a pinch.
What are you making?
Butter tarts.
Or torts from the
Hickam family cookbook.
Yeah, us Hickams are really better known
for our cooking than our handwriting.
Any chance that says walnuts
and any chance you
have some spare, Minnie?
Joseph doesn't care for them,
so I don't keep them around.
Mm.
Mm. But that's delicious
even without the nuts.
It is just butter, sugar and flour.
It's hard to mess that up.
I thought it reminded me of something.
My grandmother's moon cake recipe.
It's basically the same ingredients,
only with lotus paste and
almonds instead of walnuts.
She'd make it every fall
for the harvest festival.
So why don't we make both?
Ooh, moon cakes and
butter torts or tarts?
Oh, are we mixing our
traditions into one tradition?
Our own fall welcome dinner.
Sounds wonderful. Count us in.
What sounds so wonderful?
Oh, Mike and Mei are making
moon cakes and butter tarts
as part of a harvest celebration.
Yeah, it's more of a little dinner.
Oh, I can make moon spell cookies.
They're from Samhain, the
Gaelic harvest festival.
Let me know when it is.
Well, maybe Joseph and I can
think of something to make.
Oh.
Are we throwing a harvest festival?
I was hoping for something
a little more private.
We haven't had a lot
of alone time lately.
Well, you know, my family used
to throw a togetherness meal
the night before the festival.
Maybe we can do that instead.
Oh, just the two of us.
That sounds wonderful.
And then we can get the
nuts from the mercantile
and anything else we need.
Oh, dear. Can you read that?
Raccoons?
No, sorry. Raisins.
Whoa there.
Mr. McGinty.
Constable. Governor.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
I think we both know.
You haven't come all
this way about a lawsuit.
From what I hear, the
Governor spent plenty of time
on the wrong side of the law.
I wouldn't take it upon yourself
to preach to me about the law, A.J.
I know what you did to those ranchers.
And now you think you
can just outright steal
Miss Martell's ranch.
She reneged on her contract.
A contract negotiated in bad faith.
Constable, I'd like a restraining order
against Governor
Bouchard and Edie Martell.
On what grounds?
Neither the Governor nor
Miss Martell are to set foot
on the Martell ranch
after I reclaimed it.
What do you have against her?
Easy, easy, easy. He's not worth it.
Thank you, Constable.
I was shaking in my boots.
The very boots your daughter
mysteriously recognized.
What are you talking about?
Your daughter has a habit of poking
into places she doesn't belong.
Trespassing comes with a hefty fine.
Trespassing? Allie?
Allie wouldn't trespass.
Oh, yeah?
What about all those maps
her and her boyfriend made
showing up all sorts of
details of my private property.
I believe $25 to be paid
to the injured party.
Leave Allie out of this!
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh, you want to add attempted
assault to the family charges?
I take cash or a check.
I'll expect it within the week.
Now
Get off my land.
So it's true. You
knowingly went on his land.
We were doing research.
We needed to test the stream.
We?
Oliver didn't want to do it.
It was all my idea.
Good. At least one
of you has some sense.
Allie, I know that you
thought that this was okay
and that nobody would
see but this McGinty,
he can cause a lot of trouble.
I'm so sorry, Dad.
I'll pay the fine. I'll make it right.
I promise.
Allie, I didn't
Oh, I'm afraid we don't
have any lotus paste.
And we're all out of
walnuts and almonds.
We could special order them,
but it might be a few weeks.
What are you making?
Moon cakes.
It's a dessert served at the
Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.
- We're starting our own fall tradition.
- Mm-hmm.
Just us though.
And, uh, well, I was going
to make butter tarts torts.
We're having trouble reading the recipe.
I thought Molly said you were
organizing a harvest festival.
- She did?
- She said everyone should make
their favorite fall treat.
Mm-hmm. Minnie sent
me to get ingredients.
She has several ideas
she'd like to try out.
Where's the big event?
No, it's really more of a small dinner.
Yes, a togetherness meal.
Like maybe just the two of us together.
It's nothing special.
You know, Hope Valley
has plenty of hazelnuts.
Oh, that might work for moon cakes.
Oh, well, maybe I
could put the hazelnuts
in my butter tarts or tortes.
And I think I could use
hazelnuts in our recipes as well.
We could have a whole
hazelnut harvest festival
togetherness meal.
What do you say?
In the spirit of togetherness.
Amen to that.
I will put up some flyers around town.
We'll tell everyone to
make a family recipe.
We gotta get to baking.
Okay.
Mountie Nathan thought
you two could go riding
this Saturday morning.
What do you think?
Okay.
Well, that didn't sound very convincing.
What's going on, honey bear?
Cooper and Toby said I can play
baseball with them Saturday,
and I'm not sure I want to go riding.
Well, you can play baseball
if you'd rather do that.
I don't want to hurt
Mountie Nathan's feelings.
I think you are a very sweet little boy,
but you don't have to do things
just to make someone else happy.
Can I have a cookie
instead of these apples?
Sometimes you have to do things
to make your mother happy.
And eating healthy
snacks is one of them.
Emily, your book arrived this afternoon.
Rush order, must be important.
It's a book on the uses of sawdust.
It's for my school project.
You can do all kinds of stuff with it,
and people just throw it away.
You know, Elizabeth said you
have a real mind for business.
I bet you could turn
that into a career, eh?
Who needs college?
What do you mean?
Well, all the applications
went out yesterday.
Angela was in here just under
the wire for Schwartzman School.
Oh, right.
Of course.
I've just come from Granville Prison.
Sonny is very willing to make a deal
and he was very forthcoming,
especially about your
involvement in the 1907 robbery.
My what?
I didn't do anything.
I was only the lookout.
Woody
you just confessed to being
an accessory to a crime
and that's the same
thing as doing the crime.
Dang it.
You tell us where that gold is,
and I might be able to
make this easier on you.
I wish I knew. I just had the map.
Jake slipped it to me in prison
and told me to keep it
safe till he got out,
but then he died.
What did Ernie Martell
have to do with this?
Who?
If you had the map, why
wait all these years?
It wasn't like that.
The night of the robbery,
Jake blindfolded us
and we went out into
the woods with a lantern,
dug a hole and buried the gold.
Only Jake knew the way there.
He didn't trust his
own brothers with it?
Would you?
Man, I can't believe I'm going to prison
and we still don't have the gold.
- [KNOCKING]
- Come in.
Do you have a minute?
For you, Allie, of course.
I just wanted to see
if it's not too late
to change my final project?
What about your wolf project.
You've been working on that for months.
I know, but
it's causing all these problems
for my dad and the park,
and I just want it to go away.
What kind of problems?
I trespassed on Mr.
McGinty's land when we
when I did the water tests.
He figured it out when he saw our maps
and now I have to pay a fine.
Did you cause any damage or?
No, but I knew I
shouldn't have gone there.
And now he's suing the Governor,
and my dad's in trouble,
and maybe the park
will be in trouble, too.
Hold on.
Aren't the ranchers the ones
who are polluting the stream?
Yes, but I did trespass.
And it's important that you
take responsibility for that.
I'll tell you what.
Let's go talk to your dad, together.
We'll find a way to pay the fine.
And let's also talk about Mr. McGinty
taking responsibility
for what he's doing.
Sound good?
All right, let's go.
- Me? A soloist in the choir.
- Well
I couldn't.
But if you're serious, I could.
I have been practicing a
little take of "Hallelujah."
Hallelujah. ♪
Hallelujah. ♪
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. ♪
Hallelujah. ♪
For the Lord God
omnipotent reigneth. ♪
- [CLAPPING]
- Hallelujah! ♪
That's it. Thank you.
Wonderful. You're in.
Oh, gosh. Just like that.
Well, things move fast
here in Hope Valley.
There's a lot going on.
There's Ava, and there's the Garrisons.
Speaking of the Garrisons,
I heard you spoke with
that cousin that showed up.
Oh, sure did.
Did you by chance happen
to pick up on where
the Garrisons' hidden
stash of gold is located?
- Well
- Yes.
No.
Hickam, that is not helpful!
May I get you a cup of tea?
Ugh.
Make that two teas, please Mike.
Oh, gladly.
May I just say thank you
so much to the both of you.
I will not let you down.
Our next soloist.
Oh, he seems so happy.
Well, it's nice to be included.
I tend to agree.
It is not nice to be excluded.
No, it's not.
Is there something you'd like to share?
I'm all ears.
Minnie, I am being boxed
out of my own investigation.
Bill and this Inspector McGill.
All in the name of police protocol.
Well, if it's protocol, at
least you know it's not personal.
Isn't it always?
You said it's your investigation.
Anything stopping you
from doing it on your own?
No
I guess there isn't.
Minnie, you are a genius. Thank you.
- Oh, enjoy the tea.
- Hey.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
So tell me about your solo.
- Oh, a solo.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I played my cards
pretty close to the vest,
so I don't think
Rosemary picked up on it,
but I had been hoping
for this opportunity.
I was thinking "Hallelujah"
from Handel's Messiah.
Hallelujah, ♪
Hallelujah, ♪
[BOTH] Hallelujah Hallelujah ♪
Hallelujah. ♪
Dad!
Allie.
Allie told me about
the trespassing charge.
Right.
And this is all because
of my school assignment.
If I hadn't encouraged her to go out
and explore without supervision
That's not
No. I knew I wasn't
supposed to trespass.
Allie
Yeah, I'm with Allie on this one.
It was me too.
I was there.
Yes, and that's a different matter.
But but I'm sorry to interrupt,
Mr. McGinty's using one small violation
to hide a bigger one.
What do you mean?
Our maps showed access
to another pasture.
One where the cattle wouldn't
have to cross the stream.
Yeah. No, we know that.
But access to that pasture
was blocked with fallen trees.
Well, I can prove those
trees didn't fall there.
They were chopped down and moved
from someone else's private land.
How do you know?
Because they're ash trees.
Ollie! You're a genius!
I missed something.
I think I did too.
Ash trees only grow in one area.
Lee Coulter's property.
It's part of my final project.
And you can prove this?
I can.
Oh, and also the Mountie
handbook allows trespassing
if it's in legitimate pursuit
of uncovering a crime, so.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
[KNOCKING]
Oh. Hi, Rosemary.
Uh, is Lee in by chance?
He should be back in a few minutes.
You're welcome to come in and wait.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
About Georgie.
Last name McGill.
Twenty-five year career
as a civilian investigator
with the Financial Crimes Division.
A record 39 high-profile convictions.
Graduated with the highest honors
from the Forensics Academy.
You see, Bill, I can do my own research.
I see.
I wasn't trying to shut you out.
We needed to interrogate Woody.
Well
No, we didn't get anything
we didn't suspect already.
The Garrisons did not
know Ernie Martell.
And do we know where the gold is?
We're still working on it.
- Hey, Bill.
- Oh, Lee.
- Uh you got a minute?
- Yeah.
Something I need to talk to you about?
Of course.
Well, I have a lot to do, so
I will leave you two to talk.
Mm.
Everything all right?
It's hard to tell.
A.J. McGinty, have you
ever done business with him?
Well, I wouldn't trust
McGinty with a ten-foot pole.
Far more trouble than he's worth.
It's been brought to my attention
that someone is stealing your trees.
And that someone goes by
the name of A.J. McGinty.
I'm listening.
Mrs. Thornton.
Emily, are you okay?
Sorry to bother you.
You're no bother. What's the matter?
I missed the deadline to
apply for Teachers College.
I was so distracted,
I completely forgot.
Oh, dear.
Well, maybe we can contact the school.
They might make an exception.
Maybe.
Emily.
Why don't you tell me what it is
about teaching that excites you?
Honestly,
I'm not even sure if I'm good with kids.
I think I just wanted to be like you.
[SIGHS]
Can I tell you something?
This isn't where I
was supposed to end up.
My family had a very
different plan for me,
and it wasn't easy to follow my heart
and take a different path,
but I am so glad that I did.
And your future should
be yours to decide.
If I've learned anything this year,
it's that you have a mind for business.
You figure things out
that no one else sees.
Maybe you could assist some of
the local businesses in town,
see how they work, and
come up with your own ideas.
That sounds interesting,
but changing my mind
would be embarrassing.
I don't think following
your heart is embarrassing.
I think it's exciting.
Judge Avery.
Arthur, thank you for coming.
Henry, what are you doing here?
I'm just observing.
Good. You two know each other.
What's this about?
Does this mean anything to you?
Why would it?
It's the branch of an ash tree.
Ash trees, lots and lots of ash trees.
All chopped up and stuck in a gully,
conveniently blocking
access to the old pasture.
Why would anyone bother to do that?
You can drag this thing
out as long as you like,
but the jig is up.
We have proof and an
eyewitness willing to testify
to being blackmailed.
And I think those cattlemen
will probably believe her,
given that she tried to
pull the same thing on them.
Now, I personally
would love to try this.
You won't touch me because I'll
take those kids down with me.
Hey, fellas. Sorry I'm late.
Lee, perfect timing.
I was just about ready to
ask Arthur if he was aware
that there's only one place in
our valley where ash trees grow.
And that's the private
property of Coulter Lumber.
Now, Lee, did you by chance
sell the logging rights
to your land to this man?
Interesting that you would ask Bill
because I don't remember
doing any such thing.
Although I'd be happy to if we
can come up with a fair price.
Now, Lee, this man stole from you.
You have a right to press charges.
Yes, I do.
But I don't think anybody here
wants to get tied up
in a bunch of lawsuits
or have the Mounties brought in.
So I think if you three
put your heads together
and come up with a deal,
I'm sure I'll be good with it.
All right.
Great doing business
with you. Thanks, fellas.
Let me guess.
You want to make the
trespassing go away?
Myself, I'd like to see it all go away.
The trespassing, loans,
foreclosure on the Martell Ranch.
Then you could just walk away
without a worry in the world.
It's a better deal than you deserve.
Hi, everybody. Welcome to our first ever
Hope Valley Hazelnut Harvest Festival.
[APPLAUSE]
I would first like to thank the Hickams,
Michael and Mei for coming
up with such a wonderful idea.
There are many harvest
festivals around the world.
There's the feast of
Saint Martin in Bavaria
called Oktoberfest.
There's also the Hindu
tradition called Diwali,
which is about the spiritual triumph
of light over darkness and
knowledge over ignorance.
Now, whatever our faith,
community and friendship
are the food for our souls.
Now, can I get an Amen?
- [ALL] Amen.
- Amen.
- Well, let's eat.
- Thank you, Michael.
I know I talked you into this.
I hope it's okay it
isn't just the two of us.
I love being here with everyone.
It's just
Oh, I was looking for
more of a private moment
to give you this,
but, uh, what the heck.
We're going to Niagara Falls?
What do you say?
You want to give our
honeymoon a second chance?
Yes.
I haven't made these in an age.
Try one.
Mm.
Oh, delicious. What are they?
They're called moon spell cookies.
Oh. Well, uh they're working.
Hey.
You okay?
It's just hard to celebrate when
there's so much to worry about.
I want to say that about this
whole McGinty situation
I played my part, too.
If I kept my cool
when he threatened you,
It might not have gone this far.
You defended me?
Yeah.
I knew that your heart
was in the right place.
Thanks, Dad.
Hello, everyone.
Hi, Bill.
You
are officially in the clear.
All charges have been dropped.
Really?
[LAUGHS] Oh!
I hope it was more stick than carrot.
Well, the stick did the job.
Thanks to Oliver's evidence,
we had him dead to rights.
Thank you.
You see, it might take time,
but justice always wins out.
Sometimes it takes a bit of a nudge.
Excuse me, Rosemary.
Inspector McGill.
Call me Georgie.
I hope it's all right that I've come.
Bill invited me.
Yes. Of course. Welcome, Georgie.
Is this your little girl?
Yes, yes.
This is Goldie and
this is my husband, Lee.
- Hi.
- Hello. Oh, she is a cutie.
I just wanted to thank you.
Bill's been telling me
how much you helped with
the Garrison Gold case.
Oh, he has, has he?
Well, I hope he also told
you that everything we did
was completely journalistically,
legally by the book.
- Mostly.
- Oh, mostly.
And I understand you might
have made it into the book.
"The DeMarco Maneuver," he's calling it.
Creating a new character
out of whole cloth.
My hat is off.
Well, uh, the "The DeMarco Maneuver,"
that's what he called it.
- I like it.
- You know
we would not be where we are now
if it wasn't for your help.
Can I quote you on that?
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, yes.
Fantastic!
Ned, get a seat.
Hey, Jack.
Come here.
I've got something for you.
I hear you like baseball and
this used to belong to
me when I was your age.
I want you to have it.
Thanks, Mountie Nathan.
You're welcome.
I thought we could practice
throwing and catching later this
week.
Look what Mountie Nathan gave to me.
Nice try.
Well
it didn't come with any obligations.
I know it might not feel this way,
but the fact that he was
willing to run off like that,
it just means that he's
comfortable with you.
Well
I take it with pride.
Mm.
Speaking of pride, I really
admire what you said to Allie.
It's not easy to take
responsibility like that.
And it's very appealing.
It's a lovely town
you've got here, Avery.
You put on quite a show.
Who would ever want to leave?
I have a train to catch.
Hargraves wants a debrief.
I'm sure he'd love to hear your take
if you wanted to come with me.
- I can't.
- Oh.
You have a life here, friends,
a partner in crime-solving.
Oh, she is a spitfire.
You know,
even when we were back in school,
you always treated
women with such respect.
It's one of the many reasons why I
You what?
Why I felt the way I did.
The way I I do.
Anyway, the case is still open,
so chances are I'll be back at some
Georgie, I
Me too.
Good night, Bill.
No wonder.
No wonder you've been acting so
odd and trying to push me out.
What?
Well, you're in love with Georgie.
Well, I don't
Well, maybe you're right.
Well, of course I'm right.
So when do you think you're
gonna get to see her again, hm?
I guess it depends
on how this case goes.
Well, I guess we're
gonna have to solve it
so you can impress her,
she'll have to come back.
Now, I want to know everything
and start at the beginning.
I want to know what
Woody said, verbatim.
Maybe I can sniff something
out that the two of you missed.
You know, impress Georgie,
hm? What do you think?
Smitten? Bill?
I don't know what to tell you.
This, Georgie McGill
brings something out in him.
Now, I'm too discreet
to speak out of turn
But?
I may have witnessed a moment
between the two of them.
Oh, I am happy for him.
Oh, look who it is.
Perhaps now you will give me a statement
on this McGinty kerfuffle.
Oh, um.
Mrs. Thornton! It's Little Jack!
He disappeared!
What do you mean, he disappeared?
Well, uh, we were playing baseball,
and Jack chased after a fly ball
when it went into the woods
and then he was just gone.
Well, we looked everywhere.
Jack doesn't wander.
Show us where you last saw him.
- I'll go get help.
- Thank you.
Lee!
- Hurry!
- Oh, okay okay.
Jack!
Jack!
Jackaroo!
Jackaroo!
Jack, where are you?
Jack!
Jack!
He's still breathing.
- He's still breathing.
- Thank God.
We should get him to the infirmary.
It could be dehydration,
but I still want to run
some tests, to be sure.
Is there anything else you can tell me?
Any unusual behavior?
I mean, he's been drinking a lot.
He fell asleep in class.
Although that's not unusual
behavior for children his age.
Jack
how are you feeling?
I'm hungry.
Can we go home and have dinner?
And he's always hungry.
Huh.
Mama, I'm sorry I got lost.
You don't have to be sorry, honey bear.
All righty. Here is some aspirin.
Thank you, Mei.
So, Jack, since you're
feeling much better,
I'd say there's no sense in
keeping that appetite waiting.
Let's get your shoes on. Thank you.
Uh, Nathan.
Where was he when you found him?
He was in the woods.
The kids said he was
chasing after a fly ball.
Looks like he collapsed.
Hm.
Uh, Elizabeth, I should have
the test results late tonight.
I'll let you know right away.
Thank you so much.
Of course.
- Say thank you.
- Thank you.
You think it's dehydration?
That would be my best
explanation at this point.
What else could it be?
Heatstroke.
Diabetes.
Oh, no.
He doesn't have all the symptoms
but I still think we
should get those samples
to Buxton right away
so that they can start
running those tests.
I can go.
All right, honey bear, you go
rest on the sofa while I clean up.
What about dessert?
You ate so much dinner.
How do you have room for dessert?
I'll see what I can put together.
Is there anything else you
want to tell me about today?
About how you were feeling
when you went looking for
that baseball or other times?
Sometimes I get dizzy.
It's a little scary.
I bet it is.
I won't let anything happen to you.
Hi. What did they say?
Oh, no.
[KNOCKING]
We have the results from
the clinic in Buxton.
[TEARY] And I'm so sorry to tell you
that little Jack has diabetes.
But
but there's no cure for diabetes.
No.
