When Calls The Heart (2014) s12e07 Episode Script

1
Previously on When Calls the Heart
What's going on?
We know that the eagle coin was found
at a poker game in Union
City with Toddy Davis.
Maybe we can do business.
The cattle crossing has
contaminated the stream
where the salmon spawn.
Does that girl not know any other songs?
It's this new curriculum
where everything is led by
the students' curiosity..
There's something about the autumn air.
There's an almost magical
sense of possibility.
My students constantly inspire me.
And their own curiosity
is taking them further
than I could ever imagine.
Is it this way?
I don't know.
Looks like it.
I think we're supposed to be here.
And I'm pretty sure it's that way.
Race ya.
Come on.
Lee surprised Rosemary with
a trip to Cape Fullerton
to see a see a performance
of "The Importance of Being Earnest".
And now she wants to put
on her own production,
which she will direct,
produce and star in, naturally,
with Fiona's encouragement,
I wrote a guide to my new curriculum.
She said she wants to
send it to publishers
and other educators.
I never imagined trying to
create a new form of teaching.
But Fiona makes
everything seem possible.
As for Nathan and me, it
all feels new and exciting.
There's so much we still
don't know about one another
and so much more to discover.
We're enjoying every moment together,
excited for all that's to come.
Every morning, every evening. ♪
Ain't we got fun? ♪
I'm assuming you've seen these numbers.
Yes, I know. It's not good.
No, it is not good.
Ava Riella is simply too
expensive for us to support.
Ain't got money. ♪
Oh, but, honey, ain't we got fun. ♪
With all that singing,
where does she find the
time to eat this many meals?
She is running up a tab,
but she's also good for business.
Yeah, the customers do seem to like her,
but still, this bill is way too high.
Oh, let me guess, Miss Riella.
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.
- Any word from our folks yet?
- Mm?
She told me that
she just got a letter
from them last week.
And?
They're extending their trip.
Oh!
They went to see the
Northern Lights in Norway.
Oh, my goodness. Now it's Norway.
- First it was the Dolomites.
- Mm-hmm.
Then it was the coast of Croatia.
You'd think the parents of an
heiress would be more concerned
with making sure their daughter
was sufficiently taken care of.
In the meantime, in between time ♪
Ain't we got fun ♪
No, Ava, we don't got fun.
Sweetheart, on the bright side,
look what just came
back from the printers.
[GASP]
Audition notices?
You betcha.
The Hope Valley Players present
"The Importance of Being Earnest."
Who will be cast? Only time will tell.
- It's very exciting.
- It is.
I was thinking of auditioning myself.
think I'd be any good.
Yes. Please do.
And Ava was asking about it, too.
The stage is not for everyone, Hickam.
Uh.
Let's distribute, Lee. Now!
Okay. Be right back, Mike.
Nothing else goes on that tab.
Much to do.
- Oh, Lee.
- Yes.
Did you get them?
Unfortunately, they're
really hard to come by
but my guy came through.
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome. Have a good time.
Oh.
[KNOCKING]
So I found this on my desk.
- Mm.
- Two train tickets to Union City.
Care to explain yourself?
No, I don't think I do.
So I'm just supposed
to follow you blindly
on this adventure.
You'll just have to put
yourself in my hands.
Oh, what if I don't trust you.
You're just gonna have to try.
What's going on? Tell
me what's going on.
- Tell me what's happening.
- Fine, fine.
We are going to the new
Buster Keaton picture
at the Movie Palace.
Are you serious?
Oh, I was wrong to
doubt you. Forgive me.
Always. Anyway, we
won't be back until late.
So Allie will be at Angela's,
and little Jack will
be staying with Talia
and taxi is set to pick
us up this afternoon.
Ah, well, I'll be ready.
Ooh.
- I'm gonna
- Mm-hmm.
I'll be I'll be ready.
Mm.
♪
Ned.
What?
Oh. Listen, that holiday
pageant was ten years ago.
You only had one line.
I know. I know.
Oh, I'll be fine. I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
Do you think that's the best offer
we're going to get?
It's a full-service salon and
it comes with all the supplies.
I see.
Well, I'll talk with
my partner, Mr. Weaver,
and we'll get back to
you with a decision.
Thank you.
[GASPS]
Is that what I think it is?
I was up half the night finalizing.
It just never seemed finalized.
Oh!
Good. They're going to love it.
These publishers are really bold.
Department of Education. Why not?
Is that too forward?
I mean, usually you'd
send a query first,
- but that's okay.
- No, no. You're right.
It's too much sending the whole thing.
No, no, no. You never know.
Fortune favors the bold.
You just have to look at the
introduction again and um
and add some more artwork.
Leap and the net will appear.
That's what my mother used to say.
Was your mother in the circus?
[GIBBERISH]
very essence of romance
is uncertainty.
If ever I shall marry,
I will certainly try
to forget the fact
Wonderful! Thank you, Hickam.
I did prepare a few more scenes.
No, no.
It's perfect.
I have all the information I need.
Okay.
Yeah. Mm-hmm. I just
moved it off to the side.
Thank you so much for
coming. Was I okay?
You were terrific.
Shall we?
Do you think, um, maybe I should
ask them if I could do it again?
- No, I don't think so.
- Okay.
What am I going to do?
What do you mean? I
thought he was very good.
He was fine.
Serviceable.
Algernon is supposed to be
swashbuckling and rebellious,
debonair and dazzling.
Hickam?
Ned? Jed?
They are all caution.
- And stability.
- Hesitation. Insecurity.
Mike. No!
Oh, my goodness.
Do you think I could just, uh,
do it again a different way?
Every woman becomes like their mother.
- No.
- That is their tragedy.
Oh, no man does, that's his
Hickam
It was [AIR KISS] perfect.
Thank you.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Who in this town is
swashbuckling and bold,
pushing boundaries with a
little glint in their eye?
Oh my goodness, yes!
Why didn't I think of that myself?
He's perfect. He's everything.
Do you think he'll do it?
There's only one way to find out.
Yes. Thank you everyone.
Callbacks will be posted this afternoon.
Oh.
Just put them out of
their misery now, Rosemary.
It's not marked on the maps.
But I think it was
more in this direction.
- I think it was up here.
- No, look, it's right there.
This could work. We need
to show Mrs. Thornton.
Why don't you take it
straight to the Governor?
He said he wanted to help you solve
your cow problem, didn't he?
You really think he'd see us?
Ask for Mr. Mitchel. He'll love it.
Okay.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hi.
We're going to see the Governor.
Hi, sir.
Edwin?
You think Edwin's gonna let them in?
No, but at least I'll
have some peace and quiet
while I fill you in on
the Garrison Gang case.
Oh, finally, you caught a break.
Maybe. Inspector McGill sent a report.
Apparently, two double-headed
Eagles showed up in Amsterdam
at a rare coin and
stamp dealer showroom.
The Dutch police said
they couldn't get the guy
to admit how they got there.
That's all well and good,
but it still doesn't
answer the big question.
Where the Garrison Gang
hid the rest of the gold.
Exactly. Somewhere there
is a hidden fortune.
We should get the public involved.
Sponsor a valley-wide treasure hunt.
No, it's too much publicity.
- Is there such a thing?
- It might scare them off.
All right. Fine.
In the meantime, Bill, I
have a question for you.
You once mentioned that you
worked on an espionage case
with the British Colonial Office.
What about it?
You said you posed as
a UK embassy official.
I assume your accent must have
been pretty persuasive, huh?
Well
- Persuasive, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
has requested an update
of the situation in Devonshire.
Please gather the latest dispatches
and prepare a summary for
the meeting this afternoon.
- Oh!
- [APPLAUSE]
You, sir, are my Algernon.
Your what?
"The Importance of Being Earnest."
No, no, no, no, no,
no. Out of the question.
Please. I'm desperate.
You're the only one who can do it.
The swashbuckling panache,
the confident joie de vivre.
The masculine yet sensitive charmer. Mm?
Swashbuckling panache.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I suppose.
Ah, wonderful! You won't regret it.
That was persuasive.
[CLEARS THROAT]
General will be conducting a tour
of the operation next month.
So, Chip, chip. Tally ho.
[CHUCKLE]
Yeah.
[HUMMING]
I will pray every time I feel it. ♪
[LAUGHS]
Well, hello there, friend.
I heard you could use a hand.
That'd be very welcome.
I'm just nailing these
together for some backdrops.
How is it that Rosemary manages
to convince us to do this stuff?
Uh, inspiration and gentle persuasion.
Best way to gather a flock.
I think it's more
persuasion than anything.
That I might be seeing
you up on that stage.
No, you did not. You did not think that.
Oh, well, well not the play.
We could use a hand
with the church choir.
You know, Minnie and Rosemary
always looking for some new soloists.
Well, trust me,
my singing is not going to
bring anybody closer to God.
[LAUGHS]
On the mountain. ♪
When my God spoke, ♪
Out of his mouth
came fire and smoke. ♪
I looked around me. ♪
It looked so fine. ♪
I asked my my Lord
if all this is mine. ♪
Every time I feel the spirit ♪
Moving in my heart, I will pray. ♪
Governor.
There are two children here to see you.
Something about a pasture.
I have told them to make an appointment
and go through the proper channels.
That's all right, Edwin.
I, for one, happen to like kids.
Send 'em in.
Mm.
Thank you.
Governor Bouchard.
The last time you unrolled maps at me,
I ended up in a lot of hot water.
This might get you out.
What we have for you is a
way for everyone to coexist.
There's a wildlife corridor
that the cattle can take
to an even bigger summer pasture,
and they never have to
cross the stream at all.
And then the fish will
be able to spawn again.
It's even called the Old Meadow.
I wonder why the
ranchers aren't using it.
Maybe they don't know about it.
We only found it because we were
looking at maps.
Hm.
Part of it is blocked here, apparently,
but maybe it can be cleared.
Nice work.
You two make a good team.
Can I keep this?
Edwin.
Sir.
Reschedule my appointments
for this afternoon.
You know, I've heard
that Buster Keaton is the
funniest man in the world,
and now I can see why.
The look on his face
when that horse melted.
How did they do that? It was incredible.
You're incredible.
I love this song.
[HUMMING]
You made me love you ♪
Ooh!
Danny boy!
Do me a favor.
Call me Danny for the next few minutes.
- Danny?
- Danny.
- Danny.
- Hey, Toddy, you old dog.
This must be your wife.
Uh Diane, yes.
Diane.
Danny's told me so much about you.
Oh.
Toddy and I, uh, we met the other night
when I was out wearing
my white dinner jacket.
The one you got me, darling.
It turns out we were in
the same line of work.
We were talking artifacts. Coins.
What a marvelous coincidence it is
running into you, of all people.
You know, I just got
back from the Netherlands
with quite a haul for a certain
select clientele, of course.
Oh, it sounds tempting, really, but
You go on ahead.
It's fine. I'll see you back at home.
Toddy!
You have to invite them over.
What a great idea.
My wife Trudy, and I would
love for you to join us.
We're hosting a bit of a bash.
- Just a few close friends up the hill.
- Oh.
Oh, that's a fabulous idea, really,
Um, but we're not really
dressed for a party.
Oh, we've got you covered.
Oh, I know the perfect dress.
It'll look smashing on you.
We really couldn't.
Why? You got a better invitation?
Yeah. I thought you
wanted to do business.
I guess
there's nothing stopping us.
- I guess not.
- [LAUGHING]
Come on.
Down.
Miss Fairfax.
Uh, just one second.
- Lee.
- Mm-hmm.
You need to stay on your mark.
Yes, dear.
All right, let's just take it again.
Miss Fairfax
Oh, my goodness, I
love it. It's perfect.
Where did you find it?
Miss Fairfax
Yes, yes. Uh, let's
just hear the cue again.
Miss Fairfax.
Gwendolyn, by my word.
On second thought, I think we
may also need the walking cane.
Let's look.
Yes. Do we have one?
Choices.
Algy, kindly turn your back.
I have something very particular
to say to Mr. Worthing.
Really, Gwendolyn?
I don't think I can allow this at all.
Algy, you always adopt a strictly
immoral attitude towards life.
You're not quite old enough to do that.
Ah. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Ava doesn't even need the script.
Oh, I I was in an amateur production
at my boarding school in Maryland.
I would really love to help out
in any way that I can, Mrs. Coulter.
Wonderful.
Uh, why don't we take a short break
Shall we?
We just took a break.
- Five minutes. Bill.
- I don't think I can work this way.
Sweetheart
she just really wanted
to help with costumes,
so I told her to come
down and have a look.
- That's all.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm
Can I just say you make
a wonderful Gwendolyn.
Not many actors have your verve.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate it, especially coming from
clearly and obviously an Ernest expert.
Perhaps you could be in charge of
props for the rehearsal only.
Really? I'd love to. Thank you.
Let's take it from the top.
From Miss Fairfax.
Or the top, top?
Just say something.
Miss Fairfax

Wow.
Those moving pictures, they
don't have anything on you.
Look who's talking, Danny.
Oh, so we are married now?
Yes, we live in the city.
We spend our summers by the lake.
And your husband worships
the ground you walk on.
And his wife thinks
he's just as handsome
as the day of their wedding.
So, Toddy
Yes. He's an estate dealer.
Trades in illegal coins like
the one found in the mercantile.
Oh.
Turns out it was part of
a notorious train robbery
and Toddy may be the key to the case.
So who are you to Toddy?
A shady coin dealer.
And I'm your dame?
- [LAUGHS]
- So we're the bad guys?
We're the bad guys, for tonight anyway.
Elizabeth, I'm sorry.
This is not how I
pictured our evening going.
Neither did I.
But here we go.
Danny, looking sharp.
Oh, Diane, you look stunning.
I can't thank you enough.
Not at all.
I said I had the perfect
dress, didn't I, Todd?
Always trust Trudy with fashion.
I think it's time we
see that dress shimmy.
No, I
You're a gadabout.
Let's get out there and show our stuff.

Nice moves, Danny boy. Let
me get you a drink, come on.
Oh, Dianne
- Thank you.
- Oh, no, no.
- Cheers.
- Thanks.
Now you must tell me,
how did you get that dapper gentleman
to call himself yours?
Oh. Um. Well, I, um
- I bid on him.
- Hm?
Mm-hmm. At a bachelor charity auction.
- No.
- It cost me a pretty penny,
but I think it was a
good long-term investment.
Oh, Diane, that is too good.
There's nothing I love more
than a great love story.
Tell me more.
You know, you you tell
me about you and Toddy.
I was a chorus girl.
He was a backstage Johnny. Ho hum.
Ho hum.
I want to hear all about this auction.
Good evening.
Miss Martell.
Oh, what a nice surprise.
Well, I was looking for you
because I have come across what
I think is a potential solution
to our problem.
And here I was hoping you
were joining me for dinner.
I can't do both?
Well, some students, an
exemplary Mountie cadet
and a budding naturalist,
found an old path running the perimeter
of the parkland that leads
directly to a summer pasture.
It's promising.
So much for me doing my due diligence.
What do you think?
It's
interesting no doubt.
You will have to draft a proper proposal
before they'll consider
it an alternative option.
Absolutely. I'll get that
done as soon as possible.
In fact, I could use your help
with the finer points of the legalese.
Actually, I, uh
[LAUGHS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
I've just remembered
I'm late for a meeting.
Shame.
I was looking forward to dinner.
So was I.
So, have the men been talking business?
Uh, no, no, no. No business.
Just, uh, just lots of sports.
Did you know they were
high school sweethearts?
High school sweethearts? What
about the bachelor auction?
What about the bachelor auction?
The bachelor auction where we met.
Mm-hmm. Just after high school.
You two, uh, want to
get your story straight.
You know, it's all on the level.
It's just two different
parts of the same story.
You see, we met in high school.
Although I'm not sure she noticed me,
but I noticed her from the audience.
She was on stage singing at
the the spring talent show.
It's still my favorite song.
What was it?
Uh "You Made Me Love You".
Oh.
That's a sweet one.
Uh, and then just a few years later,
I was at an auction,
and what did I hear,
but "You Made Me Love You."
Being sung by one of
the men up for bidding.
She jumped right up on stage
and finished the song with me.
Ever since then, it's been our song.
And it's been the five
happiest years of my life.
Well, that's a long engagement.
You said you've been married two years.
Well, we, uh
we said the I do's two years ago, but
I started counting the moment
I fell in love with her.
When was that?
Uh
There's so, so many moments.
Um, I mean, you know,
the moment she said yes,
that that was a moment.
But there was a moment
before that actually,
when she was kind to someone
that I care a great deal about.
I think that was the moment that
I officially started counting.
Did you hear that, Toddy?
True love.
That's a good story.
It's not a story.
Look at them.
Oh, you should sing the song.
What song?
Your song, "You Made Me Love You."
- Oh.
- Oh, no, no, no. No one wants to hear that.
Of course we do.
Go tell the band, Tru.
- Yes.
- Well, they may not know
Let's see this true love story.
I guess we should give
our hosts what they want.
That's a good idea, Diane.
"You Made Me Love You"?
We heard it at the movies.
I thought you knew it.
Thank you.
Um
Do you wanna start?

[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
[KNOCKING]
Yes.
I saw your light on.
Do you always work late?
Fewer distractions.
Oh, like someone knocking at your door.
A welcome exception.
What are you working on?
The proposal we discussed,
the wildlife corridor.
Oh, so you're serious about that?
Aren't you?
Well, actually, at the moment,
I am more interested in a game of cards.
- I think Hickam can really do it.
- Mm.
And you, of course, wonderful.
Thank you.
I had a wonderful coach.
Bill, on the other hand,
that was a surprise.
Brilliant. Isn't he?
- He was.
- Oh, everyone is just
They're just
We are still short a few parts.
Too bad you can't play them all, right?
I wish I could play a few less parts.
Well, if you're serious
about passing the baton.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ava seems to know the play pretty well.
Puh-lease.
That over-the-top show-off
is not coming anywhere near my play.
All right.
Um, well, maybe you could get some help
with the direction, then.
Lee, this is my baby!
Shhh!
Not my real baby.
But I care about this far too much
to just hand it over to
some amateur in a tiara.
- Let me ask you.
- Mm.
What is it about Ava
that bothers you so much?
[EXHALES]
She is just so
So
Dramatic!
She just takes up all the oxygen.
- Oh.
- No, don't say it.
I know, of course, there is
a shadow of a resemblance,
but we are not the same.
For starters,
I am not some poor
little unlucky heiress
who's lost my money and my clothes
and my parents in the Alps.
And secondly
Mm.
No one is my Rosie.
Sweetheart
you were brilliant acting,
directing and producing.
This play is going to be a smash.
I just know it.
Thank you.
For always standing by me.
I love you so much.
I love you.
An interesting choice.
Gin.
Okay, well, that's what I get
for playing a known card sharp.
Un-nuh. Don't believe
everything you read in the press.
I am no sharp.
Then, I guess I'm just a poor player.
Hardly. But you do have a tell.
A tell?
A little gesture tells you when
a player's hiding something.
A good card. A bad card.
Something they don't want
their opponent to know.
I see.
And what's my tell?
You fiddle with your ring finger.
You did it today at the café
when I asked you if you
thought it was a good plan.
I know that you did
not come to my office
in the dead of night,
only to play cards.
So
is there anything you want to share?
I do.
I have a thought.
Drop the proposal.
Pretend like you never heard
about this other pasture.
You'd be saving a lot of
people from a lot of trouble
including yourself.
Where's this coming from?
I'm afraid that's a matter
of attorney-client privilege.
I see.
So once again, we find
ourselves on opposite sides.
Well, it wasn't the only
reason I came here tonight.
We can still be friends
playing cards, can't we?
I believe it's your deal.
♪
You know when I watched you
play poker in Union City.
you know what I noticed?
The cards weren't in my favor.
But you always bet big,
even when you had nothing.
I'm not sure that's a virtue.
Maybe not in poker, but it
tells me you have confidence.
Guts.
I do like to take risks, but
I always protect my clients.
I knew I liked you, DeMarco.
You know, I've got this one guy,
the hotter the merchandise, the better.
He likes it when there's a story.
Swords. Medallions.
Stamps.
If he takes a shining to
it, he'll pay top dollar.
I think I may have something for you.
What do you got?
Not here.
Isn't this your house?
Twenty-four carats.
Some two-bit rancher got his
hands on a crate of these.
What's a rancher doing
with a crate of gold?
Is he still there?
No, no, he died last year.
The place was a real dump, too.
We got all kinds of eccentrics.
How many of those you got?
I could sell a few to you.
I don't know if the story is
going to be enough for your guy.
Dead ranchers sitting on a pot of gold.
I can spin that.
Where'd you say this guy was again?
One of the valleys past Benson Hills.
Around there.
I'll talk to my guy.
Have you ever been
bored at your own party?
More drinks, more dancing!
Actually, it's, um
- It's getting late.
- We should go.
Well, if you want to be party poopers.
We'll call you a cab.
[TENDER MUSIC]
- Any news?
- Not yet.
I'm waiting for a call from Mr. Weaver.
See if he wants to accept the offer.
You ready to let go of this place?
No.
I suppose there's something
better waiting for you.
I suppose.
I still haven't decided.
It's a big one.
Yeah.
I'm not one of those girls
who dreamed of their wedding day,
the white dress, the happily ever after.
I wasn't either.
When I studied in Chicago,
the closest I ever thought
I would get to a husband
was a forged marriage certificate.
- And then
- You met Mike.
Yeah.
And I realized that's what I wanted.
Well, you do seem happy.
But you
you have a spark, and I
think you should follow it.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Hello.
Hi, Mr. Weaver.
Yes, I know. I was
hoping for better, too.
As they say, a bird in the hand.
Okay.
I'll see to it. Thank you, Mr. Weaver.
It's done.
It's done.
One adventure ends and another begins.
Yeah.
And they never suspected anything?
They did at first. We couldn't
get our story straight.
But you pulled it off.
I guess your acting
skills have improved.
[LAUGHS]
Nathan had a whole character for me.
I was Diane DeMarco, wife
of a shady antiques dealer.
Wait. Was Nathan Danny DeMarco?
How did you know?
Well, I was the one who invented him.
You know what, it's a long story,
but clearly you both should
have auditioned for the play.
Oh! How did the rest
of your auditions go?
Did you find what you needed?
Well, almost.
Seems this Ava Riella
is quite the performer.
She memorized the entire play.
- It was a bit excessive.
- Quick study.
Well
Do you think it's odd
that this sheltered
heiress from Baltimore
is suddenly parading around town
like a one-woman vaudeville act.
I seem to recall someone
else arriving in Hope Valley
with a bit of a dramatic flair.
She's supposed to be your
doppelgänger, though, not mine.
Maybe she's a bit like both of us.
Mhm. Were we ever that
wide-eyed and lost?
I know I was.
Sometimes I miss that feeling
that life could just take you anywhere.
Mm. Well, our adventures
are far from over.
Clearly, you spent the night
hobnobbing with gamblers
and doing the Charleston.
Shh!!!
I just wish I could have joined you.
No, I was referring to what I
mailed in the post this morning.
No. You did it? You sent the curriculum?
So what changed your mind?
Leap and the net will appear, I hope.
All right, I'll do it.
I will offer the careless
heiress a role in my play.
Oh.
If anyone can wrestle
a serviceable performance
out of her, it's me.
Mm-hmm.
To more adventure.
To more adventure.
