00:01By the time you see this, I will be gone.
00:03He knew about his murder before it happened.
00:05You two know each other?
00:06He's my brother.
00:07Sam doesn't understand why I'm keeping him at arm's length.
00:10I spent some time with my aunt and uncle on the West Coast when I was little.
00:18If I had been asked earlier what my plans were for this evening,
00:22I doubt that ending up with a fractured wrist after narrowly avoiding an attempt on my life would have made the list.
00:28But here we are.
00:31Hey, Sam.
00:32Hey, sorry I missed your call. Is everything okay?
00:34Yeah, yeah, I'm home now. All good.
00:36What exactly happened?
00:37I just slipped on some ice and I fell on my arm the wrong way.
00:41Hairline fracture. It's nothing.
00:44Well, I'm just finishing up here. Can I bring you anything?
00:47No, I just need a good night's sleep.
00:49But, hey, are you free to come to the mistletoe tomorrow morning?
00:53I can be. Why?
00:54I'm just having a few friends over for breakfast tonight.
00:57All right. Well, I'll see you there.
00:59Great. Thanks, Sam.
01:01Night.
01:04It's not that I can't tell Sam what really happened.
01:07I'm just, I'm not sure if this is connected to Glenn's murder,
01:10or if my past mistakes are finally catching up to me.
01:15Congratulations, everyone.
01:17Clearly, you're moving in the right direction.
01:20Now, just like the spirits,
01:22Clearly, you're moving in the right direction.
01:24Now, just like the spirits that visited dear old Ebenezer in A Christmas Carol,
01:29my clues represent Christmas past, Christmas present, and Christmas yet to come.
01:35Now that the spirit of Christmas past has given way to the present,
01:38come in, get close, and know me better, man.
01:43Am I the only one creeped out by all this talk of spirits?
01:46I couldn't be angry with him if I tried.
01:50Who suffers by his ill whims?
01:53Himself. Always.
01:55Here, he takes it into his head to dislike us,
01:58and he won't come and dine with us.
02:00What's the consequence?
02:04Good luck.
02:06That's it?
02:07What are we supposed to do with that?
02:09Aren't you a detective? Don't you sell hot dogs?
02:11Okay, let's everyone just take a breath.
02:14Are you sure you're okay, Emily?
02:16I feel bad that you hurt yourself after we talked last night.
02:18Yeah, about that. I thought that this was a team effort.
02:21I didn't know we were doing break-off groups.
02:23No, we're not. We just ran into each other at the police station.
02:26All right, let's just focus on why we're here.
02:29Who wants to take a stab at it?
02:31Oh, that was a really bad choice of words. I'm so sorry, Fred.
02:36It's okay.
02:37The clue doesn't have to be solved right this minute.
02:40Brooke, Fred, and I still have shops to run.
02:42And I have a murder to solve.
02:44Let's just let this percolate and we can come back together later and we'll see where we're at.
02:48Okay?
02:49Okay.
02:50Here you go.
02:52You got a minute?
02:53Yeah, of course.
03:05So it's not related to Glenn's murder?
03:07Can't be sure, but it feels like this game might be a dead end.
03:11What about Noah?
03:12We don't have any physical evidence to tie him to the murder scene.
03:14There's nothing to go on but an old Santa coat.
03:16If it's not Noah, then the killer is still out there.
03:27Someone was a busy little elf this morning.
03:29I've got my work cut out for me getting ready for Dad, miss.
03:32I'm sorry, what?
03:34I was lying in bed last night, feeling bad about leaving Dad alone for Christmas, when the idea came to me.
03:41I'll have my own Christmas with him.
03:43A few days early.
03:44And thus, Dad, miss was born.
03:46If it catches on, you can dedicate a corner of the store to it.
03:49Why not? I've already dedicated a corner of the store to a leaky pipe.
03:53Dad says he's happy to fix the hole, but the best time for him to come is later at night when he's done work.
03:58Would it be okay to let him use my store key one night?
04:00Yeah, that's fine, but you could also tell him that I'm perfectly capable of fixing the leak myself.
04:05I've just been a little busy, but I'm sure I'll get to it between now and Dad, miss.
04:09See? It's already catching on.
04:12Is it okay if I store this stuff here?
04:15It's kind of hard keeping a secret when you live with a detective.
04:17Yeah, no problem.
04:19I could also wrap those for you if you want.
04:21With a cast on your hand? Dad told me what happened. It must have hurt.
04:25I just barely even noticed it's there.
04:27You know, it's bad luck to have a cast that isn't signed.
04:32There. Much better.
04:40Hello?
04:41Hey, it's me. Can I come up?
04:44Sure, yeah.
04:47Hi. Oh.
04:49I figured you wouldn't be up to much in the kitchen, so I thought you could use some delivery.
04:54Now, I wasn't sure what you liked, so I just picked up a variety.
04:57Thai, spicy and not spicy and you know, I don't know.
05:05I'm a bit of a hunk, you know.
05:07I'm not sure what you're talking about.
05:09You're a hunk.
05:11I wasn't sure what you liked, so I just picked up a variety.
05:13Thai, spicy, and not spicy.
05:16And then this, that's a favorite of mine.
05:18It's one town over, like the best desserts in town.
05:21You're really good at taking care of people, aren't you?
05:24Well, I could say the same thing about you.
05:27I've seen how you are with June and with Violet,
05:29and we just want you to know that we're
05:31looking out for you as well.
05:35Yeah, I do OK.
05:36I got my emotional support tigers here.
05:40These guys?
05:41Can they cook?
05:44No, they cannot.
05:46Mac and cheese, maybe?
05:52This is so incredibly thoughtful.
05:56I do have everybody coming down to the mistletoe
05:58in a couple of minutes, though.
05:59Yes, yeah, here.
06:00I'll just get this put away, and we can head down together.
06:04OK, thank you.
06:11Bye.
06:32Maybe Fred forgot we were meeting tonight.
06:34I called him a few times, and he didn't pick up.
06:37Can we start without him?
06:39Well, has everyone had a chance to think
06:40about what the clue might mean?
06:42I tried, but I didn't get very far.
06:44Yeah, I confess.
06:45I couldn't make heads or tails of it either.
06:47I was busy with other things.
06:49But what about you, Emily?
06:51I didn't have a lot of time to think about it either,
06:52but the thing that stands out as most obvious
06:54is that the person who's speaking in the quote
06:56is Scrooge's nephew, Fred.
06:59Yeah, obviously.
07:00I didn't bring it up because of how obvious it was.
07:03Wait, Fred was part of the first clue, too.
07:05Just the real Fred, not the Fred from the book.
07:06Exactly.
07:07I think there's a deeper meaning behind Glenn's game,
07:10and I think Fred is the key to understanding all of it.
07:13But he's not here.
07:15I'm sure he's just running late.
07:17Here, his store's close by.
07:18I'll go see if he's there.
07:19Ahem.
07:23Hello?
07:24Fred, yeah, we were just talking.
07:26Oh my god.
07:33Fred?
07:35Sweetie, are you OK?
07:37I think so, just a little sore.
07:41Seems like injuries are a common theme with this little club.
07:44I want to know exactly what happened.
07:45Fred was just about to share the details with us.
07:47It happened so fast.
07:50I thought I heard somebody behind me,
07:52and as I was turning, bam, suddenly I'm on the sidewalk.
07:55And you didn't get a look at your attacker?
07:57No, I was pretty out of it.
07:58And you're sure they took the book?
08:00Definitely.
08:01By the time I came to my senses, he was gone,
08:03and so was my copy of A Christmas Carol.
08:05Didn't take anything else, your keys, your wallet?
08:07No.
08:09Why would someone physically assault my husband just
08:11to steal a cheap secondhand book?
08:14Sorry, I have to take this.
08:15I don't know what's going on here,
08:16but it doesn't seem safe.
08:18It doesn't matter.
08:18The book's gone.
08:19I'm no longer any use to the group.
08:21No, that's not true.
08:24What does that mean?
08:25I think Glenn designed this whole treasure hunt
08:27around Fred.
08:28Really?
08:29This is good.
08:30It strengthens our legal case that any prize found
08:33by another party belongs to us.
08:35I want to make sure you get what's owed.
08:37Glenn's Santa costume.
08:40Was that something he kept here in the store?
08:42No, I hadn't seen that in years.
08:44Since I was a kid, I was surprised he still
08:45had it, to be honest.
08:47What's going on?
08:48That was the lab they called.
08:50They recovered DNA from the suit belonging to Glenn
08:53and one other person.
08:55And it wasn't Noah.
08:59Morgan?
09:03I didn't kill Glenn.
09:04What?
09:06What's happening?
09:07I'm going to need you to come with me.
09:12I don't know how my DNA got on the Santa coat.
09:15I got a warrant to search your personal spaces.
09:18Found this pushed to the back of your locker at work.
09:21Now, that's the blouse you wore to the Christmas party,
09:23correct?
09:27That's not your blood, is it?
09:34OK.
09:35Yes.
09:36I wore the Santa coat, but not for the reason you think.
09:38Then why?
09:41I went by the bookstore to get Fred
09:43before we went to the party.
09:45And I noticed that all the rare editions were gone.
09:49I suspected Glenn must have sold them, and I was angry.
09:52Did they not belong to Glenn?
09:54He made my husband part owner of the bookstore a few years ago.
09:57A piece of those books belonged to Fred.
09:59He should have been consulted.
10:01OK.
10:02So you go to the party.
10:04You see Glenn there.
10:07Then what?
10:09I was looking for a moment to talk to him alone.
10:12I saw him heading down the back hall, and I followed him.
10:16I finally caught up to him in the stockroom.
10:20Glenn.
10:22Glenn, where are they?
10:23What did you do with the?
10:28Glenn.
10:31Glenn.
10:51He was dead.
10:54I couldn't save him.
10:56And his blood was on me.
10:57I knew how it would look.
10:59So I put on the suit and left.
11:01Glenn didn't have many friends.
11:02I gambled that nobody would give me a second look.
11:05That's pretty cold.
11:07The word is clinical.
11:09I'm a nurse.
11:09I've seen it all.
11:10Not much fazes me anymore.
11:13Well, you're right about one thing.
11:15It looks pretty bad.
11:25Sue, great to see you back in business.
11:29What happened to your hand?
11:30Oh, I just slipped on some ice.
11:32Not in front of the diner, I hope.
11:34I cannot afford the lawsuit.
11:36Don't worry.
11:37You're good.
11:40Well, in that case, coffee's on the house.
11:42OK.
11:52It's Noah, right?
11:55Hmm.
11:57You were there when I was detained.
11:58Yeah.
12:00I'm Emily.
12:02When did they release you?
12:04Oh, about two plates of pancakes ago.
12:07This is my first real meal since they hauled me in.
12:10Does your brother know you're out?
12:11Well, if he does, he didn't hear it from me.
12:14I'm surprised they let me out.
12:18Not that they have anything on me.
12:22I heard that you broke into Glenn's lawyer's office.
12:27She agreed not to press charges.
12:30That's really nice of her.
12:32I am curious, though.
12:33How did you know what you were looking for when you broke in?
12:40I didn't have the guts to face Fred the night I was invited,
12:43but I was there.
12:45When you all came out, I saw that blonde woman
12:47go into a nearby store.
12:48It turns out she owns it.
12:49Brooke.
12:50I hung around her shop a bit.
12:52She was telling everybody about the video.
12:54Only took a few minutes of eavesdropping
12:55to hear her entire life story.
12:57Sounds like Brooke.
12:58I don't know what I was expecting,
13:00but it wasn't a damn treasure hunt.
13:04I can confirm we've dropped the charges against Noah
13:07on the grounds that he pays for the damage he caused.
13:09It's a win for both sides.
13:11But he also stole from you.
13:13I don't see it that way.
13:14You know, Noah had an invitation to the game.
13:16He does much right to see that video as any of the others.
13:19That's very forgiving of you.
13:22I liked Glenn.
13:23Keeping his nephew out of jail seemed
13:25like the right thing to do.
13:28He talked about Fred and Noah all the time.
13:31What about Morgan?
13:33I'll just say she's very concerned
13:35about the missing First Editions, and leave it at that.
13:40Thanks.
13:46You sure I can't help you with any of that?
13:48I've got it.
13:48Feels like I need to do this alone.
13:50That's part of the magic of Dadness.
13:54Whoa, talk about a winter wonderland.
13:57Noah, hey, I'm glad you came by.
13:59Well, I can't let Fred have all the fun.
14:02Grab my book.
14:03That is amazing.
14:04I haven't scheduled the next meeting
14:06with everyone yet, though.
14:07No worries.
14:08Mind if I look around?
14:09Yeah, go for it.
14:11So, Emily.
14:13Yeah.
14:14I was wondering, any plans for Christmas Eve?
14:17No, nothing set in stone.
14:18Why?
14:19No reason.
14:20My dad says he has no plans either.
14:22Just throwing that out there, totally unrelated.
14:24Whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:25What treasures do we have here?
14:27Oh, gee, sorry about that.
14:29I'm gonna get it fixed.
14:31What are you doing, Noah?
14:33I figured you must have found
14:34a secret cubbyhole in your wall.
14:36It's just a leaky pipe.
14:37Why would you think that?
14:39I know a little bit about the history of the area.
14:41This town was built during Prohibition.
14:43A lot of the older buildings had secret rooms
14:46and passageways built in.
14:48Wait, seriously?
14:49Yeah, a lot of them were sealed away
14:51due to renovations and rebuilds.
14:52But you never know what you might find
14:55when you go looking.
14:56Huh.
15:05Hey.
15:06Emily, Detective Wilner.
15:08Do you have any news about Morgan?
15:09Nothing I can discuss just yet.
15:11We're actually here on a separate matter.
15:13Which is?
15:14We think we may know where your uncle hid the manuscript.
15:16You mean here in the store?
15:17Yes.
15:18There's a theory we'd like to pursue
15:20if you're okay with it.
15:21Yeah, of course.
15:23What's this?
15:24I got the original blueprints for the building
15:26from the town archives.
15:30See how that wall is set back?
15:34But that one,
15:36that doesn't match the wall in the original drawings.
15:39You're right.
15:41That built-in bookshelf should be further back
15:43against the wall.
15:46I don't understand.
15:47Noah mentioned that in some of these older buildings,
15:50there are hidden rooms.
15:52You talked to Noah?
15:53Is he-
15:54He's a free man as of this morning.
15:59Huh.
16:01Whoa.
16:06Whoa.
16:14Whoa.
16:17Wow.
16:18You didn't know this was here?
16:20Not a clue.
16:23Hey, I recognize that.
16:24It belonged to Uncle Glenn.
16:31It's all just clothing and personal effects.
16:34I know a go-bag when I see one.
16:36I even have one myself tucked in the back of my closet.
16:44And a business class ticket to Switzerland.
16:49Leaving the day after the Christmas party.
16:51Why would he hide the fact that he was going on vacation?
16:54Maybe it wasn't a vacation.
17:00There's no return ticket.
17:03What was it he said in the video?
17:05By the time you see this, I'll already be gone.
17:08He's talking about his trip to Europe,
17:10not predicting his own demise.
17:13Hey Fred, you in here?
17:17Oh.
17:19Uh, my bad.
17:20Didn't realize-
17:21What do you want?
17:23Okay.
17:25I was hoping we could talk.
17:27Fred, this involves him too.
17:35Fine, whatever.
17:36What?
17:37What is it?
17:39Glenn was checking himself in to a Swiss medical center
17:42that specializes in end of life care.
17:46I don't get it.
17:47Why would Uncle Glenn do that?
17:49Hmm.
17:56You're right, Noah.
17:58We need to talk.
18:07In some ways, I envy Fred and Noah.
18:10Despite the terrible circumstances that drove them apart,
18:13they still have a chance now
18:14to put it all behind them and start fresh.
18:18A lifetime ago, I found myself in a similar bind,
18:22going the opposite direction from someone I loved.
18:26But for us, there can be no happy ending.
18:29He made damn sure of that.
18:34Enough feeling sorry for myself.
18:35There is a puzzle to be solved.
18:37Hi.
18:41You ready for story time?
18:42Yeah?
18:45I've been through the books several times.
18:47There's no more hidden clues, no secret messages,
18:50just the classic tale told exactly the same
18:52in each edition.
18:54What page was that quote on?
19:00Pages.
19:03Of course.
19:07What do you mean you solved the clue?
19:08You don't have all the books.
19:10Well, not the physical copies, no,
19:11but I've realized that each of the editions
19:13has the exact same text,
19:14but they're all laid out differently.
19:16So that quote is found on a different page
19:18in each of our books.
19:19Wow.
19:20How'd you think of that?
19:20I don't know, it just came to me.
19:22So I was able to make some calls to some publishers
19:24and I got the corresponding page numbers
19:25for each of the editions.
19:26Incredible.
19:27So once I had the page numbers,
19:28I thought about what they could signify,
19:30which was trickier,
19:31but then I remembered what Glenn said
19:33at the beginning of his last video.
19:35You're heading in the right direction.
19:37That's right.
19:38Very observant.
19:39It's literally my job.
19:40The numbers point to a location?
19:42Yes, exactly.
19:43They're GPS coordinates.
19:45But where are they pointing?
19:47Right here.
19:48Sue's Diner.
19:50I cleaned the place from top to bottom.
19:52I didn't find anything out of place.
19:54Right, but you'll remember that Glenn
19:56passed away in the basement stock room.
20:00But what was he doing there in the first place?
20:02He had no reason to be down there unless...
20:05He was planting the next clue.
20:08I mean, it's worth a look, right?
20:13All right.
20:16Oh.
20:18The heat's fending directly in here.
20:20Must be 100 degrees.
20:21Yeah, might be why Glenn took off his Santa coat
20:24when he came in here.
20:26Fred, check it out.
20:28Middle shelf.
20:31Oh, no way.
20:34That takes me back.
20:36What is it?
20:37Oh, the pineapple juice.
20:38Our mom used to open a big can of it every Christmas.
20:41Yeah, same brand too.
20:43Yeah.
20:44She said it was a tradition from her childhood.
20:46Yeah, Grandpa just loved it.
20:48The quote from the clue was Fred talking
20:51about dining with his uncle.
20:58Okay.
21:05Oh, Uncle Glenn Yuse.
21:07Why, old dog.
21:09Congratulations, everyone.
21:11Only one ghost left.
21:13The ghost of Christmas yet to come.
21:16Let's weigh the author's words carefully.
21:21Shall we?
21:22Churchyard.
21:25Here then, the wretched man whose name he had now to learn
21:29lay underneath the ground.
21:30It was a worthy place.
21:34Scrooge was not ready to rest, not yet.
21:37But I feel that I am.
21:40Not beneath the ground, but above.
21:44You see, my future's set in stone,
21:47but yours does not have to be.
21:50There's still time to bury your petty rivalries
21:53and your wounded pride.
21:55But in order to do that, you've got to come together as one.
22:00Good luck.
22:02I was hoping I'd never see that book again.
22:05What book?
22:06The book Glenn was reading from.
22:08That's the same book that he gave me
22:09at the Christmas party.
22:10The one I threw in the trash.
22:12No regrets.
22:13Wait, isn't that your book, Harvey?
22:18Uh, I didn't see him leave.
22:21No, everyone was focused on the video.
22:22Uh, has anyone seen my book?
22:24Because it was just here a second ago.
22:26Yeah, mine's gone too.
22:28It was right here, right where Harvey was standing.
22:33I've got most of the books.
22:35It's almost done.
22:37I'll be in touch.
22:40Okay.
22:48I want every available cruiser on the lookout.
22:50Approach with caution.
22:52I cannot believe Harvey was an imposter.
22:55Don't feel bad, he fooled me too.
22:56I looked into him after our first meeting
22:58and his story checked out.
22:59Harvey Saltzman's a real person.
23:00You tracked him down?
23:01As far as I could.
23:03Joe went cold when he retired in Florida a few years ago,
23:05but whoever our mystery man is, he sure did his research.
23:08And now he has four of the five books.
23:09And if he gets to the prize before the rest of us,
23:11he's just gonna disappear.
23:12Forget the game, Emily.
23:15Of course, yes, you're right.
23:17I'm just too dangerous.
23:21Then again, when has that ever stopped me before?
23:27It had to be Harvey who tried to run me down
23:29the other night, which means he perceived me as a threat.
23:33Smart guy.
23:34But how did he know where I'd be and when?
23:39Unless...
23:41Boy, this sucker must've barely squeezed in the door, huh?
23:54I knew it.
23:55He bugged my store.
23:56He's been listening the whole time.
23:58He's probably still listening.
24:01Hey, Harvey.
24:03I have something you need.
24:05The final book.
24:06You know as well as I do that you can't do this alone, so...
24:11What do you say?
24:12Split the prize 50-50?
24:16I knew I liked her.
24:18I'm assuming you figured out the location
24:20of the latest clue, so...
24:22Why don't you meet me there tomorrow morning?
24:25Say 9 a.m.?
24:26Bring the books.
24:36♪♪♪
24:41When has it gotten into you?
24:43I thought it would be nice to go for a walk with my dad.
24:44Is that really so strange?
24:46This early?
24:47You're not usually out of bed for another two hours
24:49on Christmas break.
24:50Don't overthink it.
24:51Let's go look at the Christmas tree.
25:00Yeah, it's, uh, it's definitely a tree, all right.
25:02Is that a present with a tag on it?
25:05That's weird.
25:10Do you dad love Violet?
25:12Marry dad, miss.
25:14Wait, what's dad, miss?
25:15It's our own Christmas morning just a few days early.
25:18Wait, did you do this so we could have a Christmas together?
25:21Is that okay?
25:23It's more than okay, kiddo.
25:25♪♪♪♪
25:32Ugh!
25:34You look pretty good for a frail old man.
25:37I thought you said meet here at 9.
25:39Yeah, I did, but I figured you'd be here an hour early
25:41to scope the place out.
25:43Well, aren't you smart?
25:45I'm surprised you figured out the clue.
25:48I'm not sure I'm smart enough to figure it out.
25:51Well, aren't you smart?
25:53I'm surprised you figured out the clue.
25:55I know this story.
25:57Ends in a graveyard, right?
25:59Not beneath the ground, but above it.
26:01The mausoleum.
26:04Where's your book?
26:06It's here.
26:08But if we're gonna partner up,
26:09I'm gonna need to know a little bit about you.
26:17You need new skates.
26:18Your old ones smell like wet dog.
26:23Oh, I cannot wait to get these out on the ice.
26:25And you will.
26:26But first, our Christmas dinner.
26:29Well, it's a little early for dinner, no?
26:31Don't spoil the illusion.
26:33Open-faced turkey sandwiches with gravy and mash
26:36and cranberry sauce on the side.
26:39Sorry, it's the canned stuff.
26:40I didn't have time to make it fresh.
26:42It looks delicious.
26:43And Sam, I forgive you for interrogating me
26:45like a common criminal.
26:49Merry Christmas, Sue.
26:50Merry Christmas.
26:53How did I get so lucky?
26:55It's a dadless miracle.
26:58What do you want to know?
27:00You don't strike me as a collector of vintage books.
27:05I think you're in this for the paycheck.
27:08So who hired you to kill Glenn?
27:14Oh, sorry.
27:15You work here?
27:16You work here?
27:17I was just...
27:18The Christmas Carol, first edition.
27:21Tell me where it is, or you're dead.
27:29Dead?
27:30You think I fear death knowing what's coming?
27:33I welcome it.
27:34I was only there to get the book.
27:39But I don't like being laughed at.
27:42I was there at the party.
27:43I didn't see you.
27:44Of course you didn't.
27:45I'm a pro.
27:47Nobody gives caterers a second look.
27:49They're basically invisible.
27:57So with Glenn dead,
27:58the only chance you had at the prize was to join the game.
28:02I noticed a lady from the diner
28:03throwing a book in the trash out back.
28:05Checked it out, and I found the invitation.
28:08Seemed like a pretty good plan B.
28:10So I did some research into Glenn's past,
28:12and what do you know?
28:13There was a Harvey Saltzman.
28:16How did your employer feel
28:17about you unexpectedly killing Glenn?
28:20Makes them an accessory to murder.
28:23Where's the book?
28:26I've got it right here.
28:29Sorry, kid.
28:31I work alone.
28:35Right in the heart.
28:40Come on.
29:10Help me.
29:41I'm not gonna lie,
29:43cutting loose like that,
29:45it felt good.
30:05Wilner.
30:08You're kidding.
30:21Let's weigh the author's words carefully.
30:37Let's go.
30:57Glenn.
30:59You shouldn't have.
31:02What happened at the cemetery?
31:05Looks like you were double-crossed by a partner.
31:10Who were you protecting, Harvey?
31:12Or, excuse me, Sawyer?
31:19Yeah.
31:20Got a hit on your fingerprints.
31:25Sawyer Pine.
31:29Dishonorably discharged from the military,
31:31wanted for questioning in three separate murder cases
31:34spanning back a decade.
31:36We went through your car,
31:38found a pair of gloves with blood on them.
31:42I'm guessing that's why your fingerprints weren't on the knife,
31:45but if the blood's a match for Glenn,
31:46then we've got you just the same.
31:48What's your point?
31:50Give me a name.
31:52Then maybe we can make a deal.
31:59What exactly is it you're blaming me for?
32:02I think you're responsible for Glenn's death
32:04at the hands of a trained killer.
32:06You should be careful throwing accusations around.
32:09I am a lawyer.
32:11It was Glenn's first edition of A Christmas Carol you were after, right?
32:15That is ridiculous.
32:17I've worked for Glenn for years.
32:19Exactly.
32:21You figured out he was dying,
32:23you saw that he'd sold off several of his valuable books
32:26to finance his final journey,
32:28and you wanted to get your hands on the prize of his collection.
32:32And you have some proof of this?
32:34Each of our invitations had the same ornate impression on the wax.
32:40But the wax on the envelope containing the original video didn't.
32:44It was different.
32:46No design.
32:48You opened the original seal.
32:50You saw the video.
32:51You learned about the game.
32:52You wanted to get that book
32:54before he had a chance to give it to anybody else.
32:56Only the guy that you hired wound up killing him instead.
32:59Who are you to come in here and say these things?
33:02You're not a cop.
33:04That's true.
33:07But if I could figure this out,
33:10how much time do you think it'll take before the actual police do?
33:18Unless they already have.
33:27You
33:33Sorry, but just to be clear,
33:35you said that you solved the last clue
33:38and found Glenn's prize in a locker in the bus station.
33:41That's right.
33:42Okay, just checking.
33:44I'm not sure why I'm here.
33:46Glenn wanted you to be a part of the game from the start.
33:49Okay, so there is a card for each of you.
33:54First one, Brooke.
34:01Dear Brooke,
34:03while you have terrible taste in books,
34:08it was kind of you to invite me to your book club.
34:11My gift to you is a collection of classic books for your club to enjoy.
34:15Glenn.
34:17That's very sweet.
34:20I'm going to go ahead and pass on the books, but it's still very, very sweet.
34:23Next we have Sue.
34:32Dear Sue, make your chili however you want.
34:35Beans are no beans. It's the best damn chili I've ever had.
34:39Glenn.
34:42I always knew he was a good man.
34:45Okay, and?
34:48Fred and Noah.
34:51You read it?
34:54Nope.
34:56You do the honors.
35:04Dear Fred and Noah,
35:06if everything went as planned, my gift to you is each other.
35:12That's the best gift I've ever received.
35:17Same.
35:20I leave the store and all its contents to you, my nephews.
35:26And I wish you both, and Morgan as well,
35:30a happy life surrounded by things I treasure most.
35:34Wait, what?
35:38And this also is yours.
35:53It's a first edition of A Christmas Carol.
36:03So what about you, Emily?
36:06Um, yeah, I opened mine already.
36:10It was a vintage collection of Sherlock Holmes stories.
36:14Oh, don't feel bad. I got books too.
36:30My first Christmas Eve in Fletcher's Grove.
36:33Maybe I'll give myself an early present.
36:36If Chimera knew I was still alive, they would have tracked me down by now.
36:40So maybe it's time to do what I should have done when I first arrived here.
36:44Close the door on everything that came before
36:47and start building a new life, free of the past.
37:04That sound...
37:07it came from my store.
37:15Sam?
37:17Emily.
37:19What are you doing here?
37:21I was... I was actually hoping to surprise you.
37:25Well, mission accomplished.
37:30And I didn't have any plans for Christmas Eve, so...
37:34This is... so kind. I don't...
37:39Hey, you, uh, you don't have to say anything.
37:42No, no, no, I want to. I just, I don't...
37:46I don't know how to thank you. I'm not used to being taken care of.
37:51Yeah, I got that.
37:54I think I was afraid...
37:57of, um...
37:59that I just didn't, that I, that I...
38:03I wouldn't know how to be vulnerable anymore.
38:06I'm a patient man.
38:09Yeah.
38:11I know.
38:13But...
38:18you don't have to be.
38:21You don't have to be.
38:51Leave it all for me
38:54You can leave the light on
38:57I'm coming home
39:11So, um...
39:15It's snowing outside.
39:19You want to go for a walk?
39:21I really do.
39:24Reindeer slippers.
39:27Yeah, I gotta go change.
39:29I'll clean this up.
39:32Okay.
39:34Hey.
39:36You can leave the light on
39:39Leave it all for me
39:42You can leave the light on
39:45I'm coming home
39:49You can leave the light on
39:52Leave it all for me
39:55See you in a sec.
39:56Yeah.
39:57Okay, bye.
39:59You can leave the light on
40:01I'm coming home
40:06Wilder.
40:12I'm back.
40:15You ready?
40:17Sam.
40:20Everything okay?
40:27I noticed a discrepancy in your background check.
40:31You said you lived with your aunt and uncle on the West Coast,
40:34but in your file it mentions they've always lived in Maine.
40:37Did I say West Coast? I meant East Coast.
40:40Yeah, right.
40:42I figured it was something like that,
40:45but I did a little digging.
40:48Can't help myself. I like to be thorough.
40:51Couldn't find much on you,
40:53but that didn't raise any red flags.
40:55Sam.
40:56Until now.
40:58Until my supervisor called ordering me to drop all inquiries into Emily Lane.
41:02I wouldn't say where that came from, but I'm guessing it was pretty high up there.
41:04You don't understand.
41:05Tell me I'm wrong.
41:08Tell me you haven't been lying to me.
41:12All right, then.
41:15Well, I just have one question for you, Emily Lane.
41:20Who are you, really?
41:41You
