3
00:00:05,222 --> 00:00:09,033
It's been 76 days,
2 hours, and 37 minutes
4
00:00:09,177 --> 00:00:11,482
since young Ned's father
deposited him
5
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:13,757
at the Longborough school
for boys,
6
00:00:13,787 --> 00:00:16,843
and this, young Ned felt,
was long enough.
7
00:00:17,637 --> 00:00:20,358
Tired of the dark and joyless
boarding school,
8
00:00:20,388 --> 00:00:22,549
young Ned and his dog, Digby,
9
00:00:22,579 --> 00:00:24,655
set out in search
of a new beginning.
10
00:00:24,976 --> 00:00:27,979
Alone in the forest,
they didn't know what to expect,
11
00:00:28,009 --> 00:00:32,040
and least of all
they expected giant butterflies.
12
00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:34,366
Come on, everybody. Look.
There's a nest! Let's go see.
13
00:00:34,396 --> 00:00:38,129
Miss Moss believed every child
was a butterfly at heart,
14
00:00:38,318 --> 00:00:42,716
and her kindergartners knew
that every caterpillar learns to fly.
15
00:00:43,764 --> 00:00:47,179
On this day, Miss Moss found herself
just out of reach
16
00:00:47,209 --> 00:00:51,310
of an important lesson
on the life cycle of the yellow canary.
17
00:00:53,781 --> 00:00:55,531
Oh, I wish I could reach!
18
00:00:55,561 --> 00:00:58,900
What do you think, there's eggs inside
or do you think there's birds?
19
00:00:59,170 --> 00:01:02,360
The yellow canaries, however,
believed a better lesson
20
00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:05,867
might have been the risks
of environmental toxins.
21
00:01:06,183 --> 00:01:07,410
In that moment,
22
00:01:07,556 --> 00:01:11,613
young Ned decided that new beginnings
were a wonderful thing.
23
00:01:12,171 --> 00:01:13,889
- How many do you think are there?
- Six.
24
00:01:13,919 --> 00:01:14,719
Six?
25
00:01:19,967 --> 00:01:21,517
Aren't they beautiful?
26
00:01:23,215 --> 00:01:24,990
Would you like to see
our class project?
27
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:27,317
As the once-dead yellow canaries
28
00:01:27,347 --> 00:01:30,078
had now been alive again
for over a minute,
29
00:01:30,165 --> 00:01:33,006
young Ned knew that,
by the rules of his gift,
30
00:01:33,036 --> 00:01:35,740
something else nearby
had to die.
31
00:01:35,930 --> 00:01:38,661
We've been nursing some red-breasted
woodpecker chicks back to health,
32
00:01:38,691 --> 00:01:41,131
and today...
today we're gonna set them free.
33
00:01:41,192 --> 00:01:42,991
Unaware of the class project,
34
00:01:43,276 --> 00:01:46,386
the boy had thought that
whatever creatures traded their lives
35
00:01:46,446 --> 00:01:48,680
would be small, random,
and hidden in the woods.
36
00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:51,549
Sadly, this was not the case.
37
00:01:57,998 --> 00:02:01,248
As the boy and his dog
returned from whence they came,
38
00:02:01,325 --> 00:02:04,021
young Ned concluded
that new beginnings
39
00:02:04,115 --> 00:02:06,375
only lead to painful ends.
40
00:02:07,568 --> 00:02:09,248
It's 20 years later,
41
00:02:09,603 --> 00:02:13,051
and the boy has become
a pie maker who is in love.
42
00:02:13,574 --> 00:02:16,938
It's been 1 year,
22 weeks, and 4 days
43
00:02:16,968 --> 00:02:19,289
since he touched
his childhood sweetheart
44
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:21,127
and brought her back to life,
45
00:02:21,421 --> 00:02:24,341
and 2 days, 10 hours,
and 28 minutes
46
00:02:24,371 --> 00:02:27,880
since Charlotte "Chuck" Charles
moved across the hall.
47
00:02:28,402 --> 00:02:30,792
Whilst Chuck had called it
"apartment-sitting",
48
00:02:30,822 --> 00:02:33,509
the pie maker sensed
a new beginning beginning.
49
00:02:36,856 --> 00:02:38,015
- Morning.
- Morning.
50
00:02:38,768 --> 00:02:40,184
Did you sleep okay
over there?
51
00:02:40,244 --> 00:02:43,201
I woke up to the smell of toast and eggs
drifting through sun-dappled curtains,
52
00:02:43,231 --> 00:02:47,263
and I thought how lucky I am to be alive
in a world with sun-dappled anything.
53
00:02:47,741 --> 00:02:49,582
I got so excited, I was afraid
54
00:02:49,612 --> 00:02:52,023
my smile was gonna vibrate
the veneer off the cabinets.
55
00:02:52,053 --> 00:02:53,103
It was me...
56
00:02:54,095 --> 00:02:55,282
cooking toast and eggs.
57
00:02:55,903 --> 00:02:57,653
Well, thank you for that.
58
00:02:58,015 --> 00:03:01,765
Thank you for bringing me back to life.
Not in that order, but...
59
00:03:02,453 --> 00:03:03,477
How did you sleep?
60
00:03:03,507 --> 00:03:06,988
The pie maker had grown accustomed
to the feeling his heart made
61
00:03:07,018 --> 00:03:10,661
when it looked out his eyes
and saw her sleeping in the next bed.
62
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:11,694
He had not.
63
00:03:11,724 --> 00:03:13,413
- Slept great.
- Really?
64
00:03:14,156 --> 00:03:16,637
'Cause that smile wouldn't
vibrate anything off anything.
65
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:19,747
The pie maker wondered
if moving a little bit apart
66
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:22,075
hadn't moved them
a little bit apart.
67
00:03:22,339 --> 00:03:23,620
A little bit to the west...
68
00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:25,400
Emerson Cod. Please hold.
69
00:03:25,569 --> 00:03:27,319
Emerson Cod. Please hold.
70
00:03:28,262 --> 00:03:29,312
Please hold.
71
00:03:29,716 --> 00:03:31,711
Well known for his uncanny ability
72
00:03:31,741 --> 00:03:34,444
to solve murders
and apprehend suspects,
73
00:03:34,474 --> 00:03:36,655
less so for his silent partner
74
00:03:36,685 --> 00:03:39,195
who can wake the dead
and ask who did it,
75
00:03:39,225 --> 00:03:41,475
Emerson Cod's business
was booming.
76
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:44,623
You know how to knock?
77
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:47,009
I did knock.
I came in, I said to myself,
78
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,486
"I hope this good man
can help me... knock wood",
79
00:03:49,516 --> 00:03:50,966
and then I knocked.
80
00:03:52,352 --> 00:03:53,765
My name
is Georgeann Heaps.
81
00:03:53,795 --> 00:03:57,341
It's my nature to reward pushiness
with inattention, Mrs. Heaps.
82
00:03:57,371 --> 00:03:59,221
However, if you'd like
to make an appointment.
83
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:01,408
For when...
the 10th of never?
84
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:03,892
I can see your phone blinking
like a casino sign.
85
00:04:04,339 --> 00:04:06,520
I'm pushy, Mr. Cod,
not an idiot.
86
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:10,825
My teenage daughter would disagree
on that point if she were here, but...
87
00:04:10,855 --> 00:04:11,805
she's not.
88
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:13,986
She's disappeared.
89
00:04:14,444 --> 00:04:15,592
Missing-persons case?
90
00:04:15,622 --> 00:04:18,472
It's been three weeks
since I've seen her last.
91
00:04:18,572 --> 00:04:20,322
I'm desperate to find her.
92
00:04:21,468 --> 00:04:24,150
I'm sorry.
I'm not very good with emotion.
93
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:26,206
- What emotion?
- All of them.
94
00:04:27,115 --> 00:04:28,937
Police think my Nikki's
just another runaway,
95
00:04:28,967 --> 00:04:30,524
so they won't look for her,
96
00:04:30,554 --> 00:04:32,304
but that's not who she is.
97
00:04:32,811 --> 00:04:34,756
She's sweet and helpful.
98
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:36,425
Well, did you ask
her friends?
99
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,481
Even her best friend
doesn't know where she went,
100
00:04:38,511 --> 00:04:40,361
and Nikki hates to be alone.
101
00:04:41,365 --> 00:04:43,181
I don't mean to lose control
like this.
102
00:04:44,475 --> 00:04:47,269
Are you a parent or guardian,
Emerson Cod?
103
00:04:47,329 --> 00:04:49,029
Unprepared for the question,
104
00:04:49,059 --> 00:04:52,066
the answer tried to hang on
to the inside of his throat.
105
00:04:53,121 --> 00:04:54,271
I used to be.
106
00:04:54,574 --> 00:04:55,657
Did you say...
107
00:04:55,903 --> 00:04:56,807
"used to be"?
108
00:04:56,837 --> 00:04:58,225
I said I'd take the case.
109
00:04:58,255 --> 00:05:00,874
The words that choked
in Emerson Cod's throat
110
00:05:00,904 --> 00:05:04,367
were that he, too, was the parent
of a missing daughter.
111
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:08,352
And she and Nikki Heaps were not
the only missing persons that morning.
112
00:05:08,648 --> 00:05:09,998
There was another.
113
00:05:10,126 --> 00:05:14,626
After falling apart in what had come
to be called a world-class tanty,
114
00:05:15,223 --> 00:05:19,121
aunt Lily, panicked that Olive
might let slip some very big secrets,
115
00:05:19,151 --> 00:05:22,001
whisked Olive off to a nunnery
in the country.
116
00:05:23,234 --> 00:05:26,451
Chuck's mother isn't some
woman who died in childbirth.
117
00:05:26,481 --> 00:05:28,397
In fact, she's not dead at all.
118
00:05:28,657 --> 00:05:30,404
Dying, maybe,
because of all the drinking,
119
00:05:30,434 --> 00:05:32,968
but alive and pretending
to be her aunt Lily.
120
00:05:32,998 --> 00:05:36,032
And Lily doesn't ever want
her sister Vivian to find this out
121
00:05:36,062 --> 00:05:39,034
because Vivian was engaged
to Chuck's father when she got pregnant,
122
00:05:39,064 --> 00:05:41,243
and he fully admitted
to having the affair,
123
00:05:41,273 --> 00:05:43,823
but told Vivian
it was with someone else.
124
00:05:44,065 --> 00:05:45,515
So Vivian ended it.
125
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:47,659
Are you listening to me?
126
00:05:47,689 --> 00:05:49,860
Pigby enjoyed the warbling sounds
127
00:05:49,890 --> 00:05:52,751
that the nice-smelling thing
that fed him, made.
128
00:05:53,048 --> 00:05:53,960
Sister Olive,
129
00:05:54,213 --> 00:05:57,589
it's time for middle mid-morning
prayers in the chapel.
130
00:05:57,805 --> 00:05:59,455
Coming, Mother Superior.
131
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,095
As Olive set off to make
the best of her new life,
132
00:06:03,310 --> 00:06:06,214
she was sorely missed
in the one she left behind.
133
00:06:12,429 --> 00:06:14,379
The service here
is terrible.
134
00:06:16,503 --> 00:06:19,820
No service. Service left in the middle
of the night. Chuck's just filling in.
135
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,822
When does employee of the month
come back?
136
00:06:21,954 --> 00:06:22,781
Don't know.
137
00:06:23,467 --> 00:06:26,482
You pretend that you don't miss Olive,
but you do.
138
00:06:26,512 --> 00:06:28,662
So do I.
I wish I knew where she went.
139
00:06:29,365 --> 00:06:31,540
Would you please quit
looking at the door?
140
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,970
Every time I hear those bells,
141
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,001
I'm afraid Chuck's aunts
are gonna walk in again.
142
00:06:35,062 --> 00:06:36,822
I took care of them
for 20 years.
143
00:06:36,852 --> 00:06:39,756
They never even left the house.
What happened was incredibly unusual.
144
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:42,426
Please take this the right way,
but so is being dead but not dead.
145
00:06:42,641 --> 00:06:43,420
Amen.
146
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:46,998
While I'd be shocked to see your aunts,
people who are dead but not dead
147
00:06:47,028 --> 00:06:50,267
traditionally come up against angry mobs
with pitchforks and torches.
148
00:06:52,026 --> 00:06:52,876
Better?
149
00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:55,775
- You didn't sleep well.
- It was deep and perfect,
150
00:06:55,805 --> 00:06:58,483
like a nap in the backseat of a car
after a day at the beach.
151
00:06:59,063 --> 00:07:01,445
Would anyone
like to make some money?
152
00:07:02,938 --> 00:07:05,948
Sweet Nikki Heaps
disappeared three weeks ago.
153
00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:08,952
- Who is that next to her?
- That's Randi Jean, her best friend.
154
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:11,346
I already talked to her.
She doesn't know anything.
155
00:07:11,376 --> 00:07:13,126
Well, let me talk to her.
156
00:07:13,583 --> 00:07:16,140
She's not gonna tell a big PI the truth
and rat out her friend.
157
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:18,263
I'm not gonna tell you
anything about Nikki, okay?
158
00:07:18,293 --> 00:07:20,255
I've made up my mind.
And you should know...
159
00:07:20,315 --> 00:07:23,735
my dad says my mind is like
an old refrigerator in a deserted lot...
160
00:07:23,765 --> 00:07:25,810
If a secret's out
playing around and it climbs in,
161
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,805
it ain't never getting out, okay?
So quit asking.
162
00:07:33,071 --> 00:07:35,519
That girl isn't gonna
tell her anything.
163
00:07:35,549 --> 00:07:37,773
We need to get us
some new leads and fast.
164
00:07:37,833 --> 00:07:39,441
People don't run away
for no reason.
165
00:07:39,501 --> 00:07:40,443
Sure they do.
166
00:07:40,473 --> 00:07:43,144
You don't think it's curious that
Olive left in the middle of the night?
167
00:07:43,174 --> 00:07:45,572
Because I'm curious.
I'm very curious.
168
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:49,184
"Curious" is tighty-whitey for "angry,"
and you ain't angry 'cause Olive left.
169
00:07:49,214 --> 00:07:53,476
You're angry 'cause dead girl up and
moved her ass into the empty apartment.
170
00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:54,656
You're wrong.
171
00:07:54,866 --> 00:07:56,764
Person gets this little sip
of a fresh start,
172
00:07:56,794 --> 00:07:58,719
they want to start drinking it
from the hose.
173
00:07:58,749 --> 00:08:00,396
Today, an apartment
across the hall,
174
00:08:00,426 --> 00:08:03,381
tomorrow, Paris
and a croissant maker named Philippe.
175
00:08:03,676 --> 00:08:04,816
That's not who she is.
176
00:08:04,846 --> 00:08:07,345
Nikki's living with her boyfriend
in a van out on Rustic Road.
177
00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:08,725
His name's Rocky.
178
00:08:09,107 --> 00:08:10,010
How'd you do?
179
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,888
The dead girl had improvised.
180
00:08:11,918 --> 00:08:13,350
Nikki's mom's really worried.
181
00:08:13,411 --> 00:08:15,661
Hello.
That was kind of the point.
182
00:08:15,718 --> 00:08:17,569
Maybe her mom won't be
such a medicated pad
183
00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:19,500
next time Nikki wants to go out
on a weeknight.
184
00:08:19,530 --> 00:08:22,257
- Where'd she get the guts to run away?
- You think it took guts?
185
00:08:22,461 --> 00:08:24,098
Most people
just think it was stupid.
186
00:08:24,187 --> 00:08:26,196
I just moved out on my own,
and it's kind of scary.
187
00:08:26,256 --> 00:08:28,563
Are you trying to find things
in common so I'll lower my guard
188
00:08:28,593 --> 00:08:30,116
- and tell you where she is?
- No.
189
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:31,952
'cause the good-cop
thing won't work.
190
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:34,579
I know. I hate it when people do
that good-cop thing to me, too.
191
00:08:34,734 --> 00:08:36,790
Sometimes I want to run away
just like Nikki.
192
00:08:37,006 --> 00:08:38,419
That's not why she ran away.
193
00:08:38,449 --> 00:08:41,706
Nikki wants to be a big star,
but her mom wouldn't take her seriously.
194
00:08:41,736 --> 00:08:43,296
She's over being sweet little Nikki.
195
00:08:45,046 --> 00:08:45,846
Shoot.
196
00:08:46,331 --> 00:08:48,895
- I didn't want to tell you that.
- I didn't want you to tell me that.
197
00:08:48,925 --> 00:08:50,887
- Isn't that weird?
- We are so alike.
198
00:08:50,947 --> 00:08:53,557
If we ran away together, do you think
we'd end up where Nikki is?
199
00:08:53,618 --> 00:08:57,043
I wish. She moved in with a cute guy
in a really tricked-out van.
200
00:08:57,073 --> 00:08:58,588
- He's in entertainment.
- No way!
201
00:08:58,618 --> 00:09:01,246
Not the guy with the crazy van who has
that thing with the entertainment.
202
00:09:01,276 --> 00:09:03,275
- I know him.
- You know Rocky Baselli?
203
00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:05,485
Shoot.
204
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:10,699
Nikki Heaps?
205
00:09:10,991 --> 00:09:12,341
Are you in there?
206
00:09:13,138 --> 00:09:13,938
Hello?
207
00:09:15,341 --> 00:09:17,391
"Mimes do it with imagination."
208
00:09:18,058 --> 00:09:19,108
That's cute.
209
00:09:26,155 --> 00:09:27,506
That thing should have said,
210
00:09:27,536 --> 00:09:30,150
"If this van's a-rockin',
I'm being murdered."
211
00:09:32,698 --> 00:09:34,357
Looks like
he's been dead about a week.
212
00:09:34,418 --> 00:09:35,468
One minute.
213
00:09:38,791 --> 00:09:39,913
You Rocky?
214
00:09:40,303 --> 00:09:41,753
He really is a mime.
215
00:09:43,696 --> 00:09:44,763
Hi, sweetie.
216
00:09:44,793 --> 00:09:46,305
Were you living
with Nikki Heaps?
217
00:09:50,703 --> 00:09:51,852
Did she kill you?
218
00:09:53,885 --> 00:09:55,271
All right, that's enough.
219
00:09:56,151 --> 00:09:57,983
Someone poisoned my makeup.
I don't know who.
220
00:09:58,045 --> 00:09:59,985
- Where's Nikki now?
- She's with some clown.
221
00:10:00,089 --> 00:10:01,529
- A real clown?
- Yeah.
222
00:10:01,825 --> 00:10:04,750
We met the jackass and
all his jackass buddies at the disco.
223
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:06,261
They're with the traveling circus.
224
00:10:06,291 --> 00:10:08,501
This one dude was telling her
all these stories about
225
00:10:08,531 --> 00:10:10,981
their big, glamorous life
on the road.
226
00:10:11,124 --> 00:10:12,996
- Next day, she took off.
- Took off?
227
00:10:13,026 --> 00:10:14,976
Said she wanted a fresh start.
228
00:10:15,402 --> 00:10:16,845
That was the last I saw of her.
229
00:10:16,875 --> 00:10:19,130
- This circus got a name?
- A Circus Of Fun.
230
00:10:19,625 --> 00:10:22,631
I know. It sucks.
They can't have gotten that far.
231
00:10:22,661 --> 00:10:24,766
Hey, if you find Nikki,
232
00:10:24,990 --> 00:10:26,992
would you mind giving her this poem?
233
00:10:27,022 --> 00:10:28,229
Yeah, sure.
234
00:10:28,259 --> 00:10:30,975
Would you mind doing the glassbox thing?
'cause I love that.
235
00:10:35,985 --> 00:10:38,235
I'm glad
we're going to the circus.
236
00:10:42,696 --> 00:10:45,377
- Can I get a menu, please?
- Right over there in the pile of menus.
237
00:10:45,407 --> 00:10:46,625
What's with the attitude?
238
00:10:46,655 --> 00:10:49,011
What was with
the "attitude lady" was this...
239
00:10:49,041 --> 00:10:52,037
- What do you mean I can't come?
- Someone's got to run the Pie Hole.
240
00:10:52,273 --> 00:10:54,088
- The pie maker?
- Emerson needs me.
241
00:10:54,118 --> 00:10:57,633
- Why? There's no dead body to wake up.
- Nice. Anyone not hear that?
242
00:10:57,693 --> 00:10:59,545
Are you mad at me?
Is it about something else?
243
00:10:59,607 --> 00:11:01,690
Nothing else. I promise
I'll let you come next time.
244
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,229
- Thank you for the permission.
- You don't need my permission.
245
00:11:04,259 --> 00:11:06,923
Thank you for the permission
not to need your permission.
246
00:11:06,953 --> 00:11:08,611
It's a traveling circus,
247
00:11:08,851 --> 00:11:11,326
not a "wait around for you two
to work all your junk out" circus.
248
00:11:11,356 --> 00:11:13,941
- I'll be back soon.
- And I'll be here forever.
249
00:11:15,097 --> 00:11:17,014
That was curious.
250
00:11:18,016 --> 00:11:20,796
As the pie maker wondered
if Chuck moving out
251
00:11:20,826 --> 00:11:24,201
was making him passive
or aggressive or both,
252
00:11:24,464 --> 00:11:28,539
Olive wondered when her new beginning
would feel like it had begun.
253
00:11:28,842 --> 00:11:31,375
It's time for late mid-afternoon
prayer, Sister Olive.
254
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:32,960
Excuse me, Mother Superior,
255
00:11:33,306 --> 00:11:36,172
does something ever happen where
you think everything's kind of blah,
256
00:11:36,582 --> 00:11:39,994
like blah brick walls,
blah faux shaker furniture,
257
00:11:40,024 --> 00:11:42,077
blah good works,
and then shazam!
258
00:11:42,107 --> 00:11:44,722
All the little boring stuff
suddenly becomes full of meaning?
259
00:11:44,782 --> 00:11:46,537
- Like an epiphany.
- Bingo.
260
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:47,817
Not very often.
261
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,144
It takes time to fill a life
with meaning.
262
00:11:50,174 --> 00:11:52,355
Our days here are not easy,
Sister Olive.
263
00:11:52,606 --> 00:11:56,782
But you will find that with hard work
and personal sacrifice,
264
00:11:57,147 --> 00:12:01,238
you will strip away everything
from your old life and start a new.
265
00:12:01,891 --> 00:12:03,741
- Great.
- Come along soon.
266
00:12:03,886 --> 00:12:05,036
Don't be late.
267
00:12:06,803 --> 00:12:08,704
Oh, hey, Sister,
want a chapel buddy?
268
00:12:10,530 --> 00:12:12,666
Lily! What are you doing here?
I thought you went home.
269
00:12:12,726 --> 00:12:15,376
- Why did you come back?
- I can't be seen.
270
00:12:17,876 --> 00:12:20,174
- Meet me in the chapel tonight.
- When?
271
00:12:21,356 --> 00:12:23,300
Early mid-middle night prayer.
272
00:12:39,214 --> 00:12:40,764
This ain't no circus.
273
00:12:41,332 --> 00:12:44,197
A circus is supposed to smell
like popcorn and cotton candy,
274
00:12:44,227 --> 00:12:46,367
not wet sawdust and underarm.
275
00:12:46,638 --> 00:12:48,035
This is a damn freak show.
276
00:12:48,095 --> 00:12:51,608
Why would sweet Nikki Heaps
want to run away here?
277
00:12:52,015 --> 00:12:54,041
People decide they want to leave
and start over,
278
00:12:54,315 --> 00:12:57,320
a switch flips, a fuse blows,
and then everything's got to change.
279
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:59,700
You can't just
have half a revolution.
280
00:13:00,149 --> 00:13:03,091
And don't be looking at me
with them psycho-babbly eyes
281
00:13:03,121 --> 00:13:05,078
like this case is personal to me
or something.
282
00:13:05,108 --> 00:13:06,546
No eyes.
Just looking.
283
00:13:08,185 --> 00:13:09,557
You are not allowed back here.
284
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:11,600
We don't allow any stubs
snooping around.
285
00:13:12,093 --> 00:13:12,893
Stubs?
286
00:13:12,942 --> 00:13:15,001
There are two kinds of people
in this world...
287
00:13:15,031 --> 00:13:17,951
The ones that take the risks
and make you feel something
288
00:13:17,981 --> 00:13:20,631
besides the dull thudding
of your own heart
289
00:13:20,963 --> 00:13:22,913
and those that pay to watch...
290
00:13:23,564 --> 00:13:25,781
- with a ticket stub in the pocket.
- I got it.
291
00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:28,831
We're investigating the disappearance
of a young girl
292
00:13:28,861 --> 00:13:30,320
and the murder of her boyfriend.
293
00:13:30,350 --> 00:13:31,538
Sorry, I can't help you.
294
00:13:31,568 --> 00:13:34,506
Have you seen the separate police lockup
they have for cocky young acrobats?
295
00:13:34,536 --> 00:13:35,559
'cause I haven't.
296
00:13:35,589 --> 00:13:37,626
I'm upside down, mon ami.
I'm not foolish.
297
00:13:37,886 --> 00:13:39,879
So, Nikki was last seen
with the clowns.
298
00:13:40,322 --> 00:13:43,322
Talk to senor Arnaud
in the office trailer.
299
00:13:43,667 --> 00:13:45,593
He's in charge of the Circus Of Fun.
300
00:13:45,887 --> 00:13:47,338
- Thank you.
- But remember...
301
00:13:47,494 --> 00:13:50,338
There are two things
clowns make around here...
302
00:13:50,368 --> 00:13:52,976
Balloon animals and enemies.
303
00:14:00,922 --> 00:14:02,232
I don't know her.
304
00:14:02,262 --> 00:14:05,529
We get a lot of people passing through.
Hard to keep track of everybody.
305
00:14:05,589 --> 00:14:08,449
The girl we're looking for was hitching
a ride with a mime who ended up dead.
306
00:14:08,509 --> 00:14:10,659
Guess that's one box
he won't get out of.
307
00:14:12,535 --> 00:14:14,764
The clowns
haze the newbies pretty bad.
308
00:14:14,794 --> 00:14:17,875
If she didn't quit, she's probably
been assigned to apprentice one of them.
309
00:14:18,095 --> 00:14:22,020
- Where can we find these clowns?
- Drunk in a ditch would be my guess.
310
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:24,850
They usually stumble in
just before showtime,
311
00:14:25,104 --> 00:14:26,592
and they always travel in a pack.
312
00:14:26,813 --> 00:14:28,761
- Like wolves.
- More like cigarettes.
313
00:14:32,990 --> 00:14:35,017
Yeah, well, thanks for your help.
314
00:14:35,294 --> 00:14:37,344
Sorry I don't remember the girl.
315
00:14:40,994 --> 00:14:44,030
You notice his secretary snort-giggled
whenever he made a joke?
316
00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:47,377
- But she also snort-giggled when...
- When he said he didn't remember her.
317
00:14:47,407 --> 00:14:51,040
- Could've been a nervous snort-giggle.
- 'cause she knew he was lying.
318
00:14:51,070 --> 00:14:52,326
She's worth a second look.
319
00:14:52,386 --> 00:14:53,792
- I'll go.
- Oh, let me.
320
00:14:53,822 --> 00:14:57,362
98 bottles of beer on the wall
321
00:14:57,392 --> 00:14:59,993
98 bottles of beer,
322
00:15:00,056 --> 00:15:03,013
take one down,
pass it around...
323
00:15:07,974 --> 00:15:10,449
- Did I leave my keys, Miss...?
- Dijon.
324
00:15:11,045 --> 00:15:12,304
No, I don't think you did.
325
00:15:14,349 --> 00:15:15,750
Miss Dijon...
326
00:15:16,786 --> 00:15:18,477
- One more thing.
- Besides the keys?
327
00:15:18,538 --> 00:15:19,304
Yes.
328
00:15:19,366 --> 00:15:21,345
Because
those weren't really a thing...
329
00:15:21,375 --> 00:15:24,203
More of an excuse for you
to walk to the door and then turn back
330
00:15:24,233 --> 00:15:26,582
and ask me a real question,
which is coming right up.
331
00:15:26,612 --> 00:15:29,482
Is it possible your boss knew something
he didn't tell about the missing girl?
332
00:15:29,574 --> 00:15:31,991
- No.
- Is it possible you knew something?
333
00:15:33,886 --> 00:15:35,293
Why didn't you tell us?
334
00:15:35,323 --> 00:15:38,163
I didn't like that girl.
Nobody who met her did.
335
00:15:38,602 --> 00:15:41,771
- But she was Sweet Nikki.
- Not around here, she wasn't.
336
00:15:41,985 --> 00:15:43,836
I say she deserves
what she gets now.
337
00:15:44,104 --> 00:15:46,005
- What does she get now?
- What she deserves.
338
00:15:46,283 --> 00:15:48,507
The pie maker had gotten
the information he needed,
339
00:15:49,072 --> 00:15:52,292
but not the information
he wanted.
340
00:15:52,322 --> 00:15:55,342
Nikki was apprenticed to the head clown,
named Jackie Johnny,
341
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:57,850
who, according to her,
was a real lousy, low-down...
342
00:16:00,730 --> 00:16:03,020
I've never heard you
say those words.
343
00:16:03,651 --> 00:16:05,301
I'm just repeating them?
344
00:16:05,718 --> 00:16:07,823
She left with Jackie Johnny
after the show last night.
345
00:16:07,853 --> 00:16:09,226
No one's seen them since.
346
00:16:09,256 --> 00:16:12,119
Well, we need to find
this Jackie Johnny and fast.
347
00:16:17,286 --> 00:16:21,268
In less than 16 seconds,
the dead girl who was not dead
348
00:16:21,298 --> 00:16:25,533
would be involved in the
smallest of ironic coincidences.
349
00:16:25,841 --> 00:16:27,476
For just as she said
to herself...
350
00:16:27,506 --> 00:16:29,542
I wish I were
where the action were at.
351
00:16:29,696 --> 00:16:31,875
She was where it were at.
352
00:16:33,546 --> 00:16:35,696
Sorry.
We're closing early today.
353
00:16:41,744 --> 00:16:44,514
Her aunt Vivian, who would
have dropped dead from shock
354
00:16:44,594 --> 00:16:46,844
at seeing her niece
alive again...
355
00:16:46,982 --> 00:16:47,782
Hello?
356
00:16:47,905 --> 00:16:49,255
... arrived again.
357
00:16:52,675 --> 00:16:55,609
Upon seeing her aunt Vivian
return to the Pie Hole,
358
00:16:55,676 --> 00:16:58,111
it was not just Chuck's heart
that leapt.
359
00:17:02,006 --> 00:17:02,806
Hello?
360
00:17:03,904 --> 00:17:06,254
I'm an acquaintance
of the pie maker.
361
00:17:06,932 --> 00:17:10,101
A triple berry, to go,
if it's not that much trouble.
362
00:17:12,081 --> 00:17:13,592
You must be new here.
363
00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:18,760
Our friend Olive used to
deliver them to our house.
364
00:17:19,128 --> 00:17:20,724
Always lifted the spirit.
365
00:17:21,070 --> 00:17:23,010
Has anyone heard
from Olive yet?
366
00:17:25,961 --> 00:17:27,202
I suppose not.
367
00:17:29,304 --> 00:17:30,954
Quiet here without her.
368
00:17:31,948 --> 00:17:36,448
My sister left again on
an overnight trip without explanation.
369
00:17:37,013 --> 00:17:41,057
The emptiness at our house
was like a ringing chinese gong
370
00:17:41,554 --> 00:17:42,955
which only pie can muffle.
371
00:17:43,051 --> 00:17:45,035
For many months,
Chuck had made her aunts
372
00:17:45,065 --> 00:17:46,810
the pies Olive had delivered,
373
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,496
secretly adding
homeopathic antidepressants
374
00:17:49,563 --> 00:17:51,513
to aid them with their grief.
375
00:17:52,315 --> 00:17:53,965
I didn't see it arrive.
376
00:17:54,193 --> 00:17:55,599
Should I leave the money?
377
00:17:55,629 --> 00:17:56,729
But for now,
378
00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:00,392
the only mood-altering
ingredients in this particular pie
379
00:18:00,654 --> 00:18:03,052
were the endorphins
in Chuck's tears.
380
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:04,032
Thank you.
381
00:18:04,281 --> 00:18:06,785
You were a very kind listener.
382
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:23,268
If Miss Dijon is right, this is the road
she saw them take when they left
383
00:18:23,298 --> 00:18:25,622
and they weren't running away,
it dead-ends in a mile.
384
00:18:26,132 --> 00:18:27,782
I don't like this road.
385
00:18:28,322 --> 00:18:30,250
Got a...
"Kick out the window and run
386
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,451
'cause they about to cap your ass"
kind of feel to it.
387
00:18:33,666 --> 00:18:35,877
I just want to find this girl
and get this case over with.
388
00:18:35,979 --> 00:18:39,005
You think I made Chuck stay behind cause
I'm upset she moved out, but I'm not.
389
00:18:39,176 --> 00:18:41,466
I know. You're upset
she's not upset she moved out.
390
00:18:41,896 --> 00:18:44,446
I want to be happy, too,
but I miss her.
391
00:18:44,650 --> 00:18:48,010
It's hard enough being in a relationship
where we can't touch, but...
392
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,690
we improvise,
figured out ways around that.
393
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:52,435
I've even built contraptions.
394
00:18:52,555 --> 00:18:54,729
Do you understand
how a head works? Do you?
395
00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:57,285
See, 'cause every time you say
something, I got to think it.
396
00:18:57,315 --> 00:19:00,590
You say "Monkey in suit driving a car",
I think "Monkey in suit driving a car".
397
00:19:00,620 --> 00:19:02,999
- Don't tell me what y'all do together.
- There's a weird mask.
398
00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:05,224
Please. Now I'm begging you
to stop this.
399
00:19:05,254 --> 00:19:07,617
No, there's a weird clown mask
back there in the bushes.
400
00:19:14,434 --> 00:19:16,168
There's skid marks
over there.
401
00:19:16,198 --> 00:19:19,248
- Car must have gone off the road here.
- Emerson.
402
00:19:21,065 --> 00:19:24,401
What you want to bet
that's Jackie Johnny's clown wig?
403
00:19:24,431 --> 00:19:25,481
Poor Nikki.
404
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:50,576
Got a male driver
in a clown costume.
405
00:19:51,804 --> 00:19:53,204
That's got to be Jackie Johnny.
406
00:19:53,529 --> 00:19:56,207
Got another male passenger,
clown costume.
407
00:19:57,852 --> 00:19:59,706
That's not Nikki.
Thank goodness.
408
00:19:59,736 --> 00:20:01,296
Yeah, but now we got
a missing girl,
409
00:20:01,326 --> 00:20:03,043
a dead mime,
and two dead clowns.
410
00:20:03,073 --> 00:20:04,123
Another one!
411
00:20:05,044 --> 00:20:06,592
Dead mime
and three dead clowns.
412
00:20:06,652 --> 00:20:08,245
Beelze-b!
413
00:20:08,497 --> 00:20:10,553
There's a whole bunch
in the back.
414
00:20:29,534 --> 00:20:32,266
The good news is
your daughter wasn't one of the
415
00:20:32,296 --> 00:20:33,936
many bodies recovered from the car.
416
00:20:34,220 --> 00:20:37,063
It seems you're no closer
to finding my sweet Nikki.
417
00:20:37,224 --> 00:20:39,385
Well, we're doing all we can,
Mrs. Heaps.
418
00:20:39,794 --> 00:20:42,445
The tragic death of all the circus
clowns was an unexpected development.
419
00:20:42,896 --> 00:20:44,871
You need to find her, Mr. Cod.
420
00:20:45,391 --> 00:20:47,779
I don't wear my feelings like a shiny,
sparkly brooch.
421
00:20:47,809 --> 00:20:51,120
But if I did, my sadness and
anxiety would be mesmerizing right now.
422
00:20:51,470 --> 00:20:52,764
We're making progress.
423
00:20:52,911 --> 00:20:56,087
We know that Nikki was seen leaving
late last night with Jackie Johnny,
424
00:20:56,117 --> 00:20:58,586
one of the unfortunate
clowns in the car.
425
00:20:58,647 --> 00:20:59,844
What's your plan...
426
00:21:00,247 --> 00:21:02,507
To bring him back to life
and ask him where she is?
427
00:21:04,115 --> 00:21:05,338
That was a joke.
428
00:21:11,281 --> 00:21:12,492
Hey, sorry.
429
00:21:13,117 --> 00:21:15,524
- Thanks for meeting me here.
- That's okay.
430
00:21:16,214 --> 00:21:17,932
So, which one's Jackie Johnny?
431
00:21:17,962 --> 00:21:20,119
I'm sorry I asked you
to stay at the Pie Hole.
432
00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:22,590
It was very pleasant, actually.
Quiet all day.
433
00:21:25,916 --> 00:21:28,353
From now on, until Olive
gets back or we hire a new waitress,
434
00:21:28,383 --> 00:21:30,441
I am closing the Pie
Hole whenever we have a case.
435
00:21:30,471 --> 00:21:33,038
You can't close the Pie Hole.
People depend on it.
436
00:21:33,068 --> 00:21:35,952
People can learn to live without
the Pie Hole for a few hours at a time.
437
00:21:37,018 --> 00:21:38,398
No, not all people.
438
00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:44,809
Vivian stopped by.
She never saw me, and then she left.
439
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:47,260
- I told you they'd come back.
- I know, and you were right.
440
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:49,664
But I took care of it myself.
I can do that, you know.
441
00:21:49,694 --> 00:21:52,932
I've noticed that,
from where I live, across the hall.
442
00:21:55,516 --> 00:21:56,440
Jackie Johnny?
443
00:21:57,237 --> 00:21:58,502
- You got a smoke?
- No.
444
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,487
Mr. Johnny,
we're looking for Nikki Heaps.
445
00:22:00,517 --> 00:22:02,086
She was last seen leaving with you,
446
00:22:02,116 --> 00:22:04,000
but she wasn't with you
when we pulled you out.
447
00:22:04,062 --> 00:22:06,904
Yeah, we left together, but
I sent her back in to clean up the mess.
448
00:22:06,964 --> 00:22:08,613
- What mess?
- We had a little fun with
449
00:22:08,643 --> 00:22:10,993
a volunteer from the audience...
maybe a little too much fun.
450
00:22:11,053 --> 00:22:12,659
Nikki's lowest on the totem pole,
451
00:22:12,689 --> 00:22:15,121
so I sent her back in to calm him
down and hose him off.
452
00:22:15,182 --> 00:22:17,305
- What did you do to him?
- Let's just say it involves
453
00:22:17,335 --> 00:22:21,240
Peppers the horse and a pound and a half
of chocolate-flavored diarrhetic.
454
00:22:21,433 --> 00:22:24,171
It's off-putting now,
but hilarious in the moment.
455
00:22:24,232 --> 00:22:25,964
After the show, you drove away...
456
00:22:25,994 --> 00:22:28,502
And another car ran us off the road.
457
00:22:28,879 --> 00:22:32,346
As a matter of fact, that guy from
the audience did threaten to kill us.
458
00:22:32,407 --> 00:22:33,681
Do you remember his name?
459
00:22:34,031 --> 00:22:35,393
Bryce Von Deenis.
460
00:22:35,550 --> 00:22:37,576
I remember 'cause we made up
a limerick about him
461
00:22:37,606 --> 00:22:39,481
and had the whole
audience sing it to him.
462
00:22:41,484 --> 00:22:43,608
So Von Deenis is the last
person to be seen with Nikki.
463
00:22:43,810 --> 00:22:47,080
And he may be responsible for driving
15 clowns off the road to their death.
464
00:22:47,587 --> 00:22:49,818
There was a young
man named Von Deenis...
465
00:22:49,848 --> 00:22:51,240
Who they said had a very big...
466
00:22:53,533 --> 00:22:55,755
As the private investigator
laid a trap
467
00:22:55,815 --> 00:22:59,873
for the last person to be seen
with missing girl sweet Nikki Heaps...
468
00:23:00,985 --> 00:23:03,740
Lily returned to the nunnery
to make a confession.
469
00:23:07,571 --> 00:23:09,609
Everything I told you is a lie.
470
00:23:09,923 --> 00:23:12,470
Oh, get out.
You're not Charlotte's mother?
471
00:23:13,125 --> 00:23:14,305
Okay, that part's true.
472
00:23:14,335 --> 00:23:15,968
Charlotte is my daughter, but
473
00:23:15,998 --> 00:23:19,660
I never, never slept
with Charles Charles.
474
00:23:21,312 --> 00:23:25,460
He was my sister's fiance,
and I would never do that.
475
00:23:25,981 --> 00:23:28,586
But Charlotte thinks Charles
Charles is her real dad.
476
00:23:28,688 --> 00:23:31,464
And so did he,
because I told him he was.
477
00:23:31,665 --> 00:23:32,965
See, I tricked him
478
00:23:33,026 --> 00:23:35,468
into raising Charlotte as his own.
479
00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:37,218
But you said
you never slept with him.
480
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,885
I didn't...
481
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:41,766
because I would never do that.
482
00:23:42,646 --> 00:23:43,446
But...
483
00:23:43,743 --> 00:23:46,979
why did he believe you when you told
him that Charlotte was his daughter?
484
00:23:50,755 --> 00:23:51,555
Damn it.
485
00:23:52,342 --> 00:23:54,568
Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!
486
00:24:01,152 --> 00:24:02,662
So, it's not a lie, is it?
487
00:24:03,261 --> 00:24:04,705
You just wanted to take it back.
488
00:24:10,984 --> 00:24:13,613
You hide booze in your Bible?
489
00:24:14,817 --> 00:24:16,881
Ever since I told you what I did,
490
00:24:17,246 --> 00:24:21,264
the secret's like this
elephant in our parlor again.
491
00:24:21,366 --> 00:24:23,097
I can't even look Vivian in the eye.
492
00:24:23,159 --> 00:24:25,687
I was gonna wait to tell her
till one of us was on our deathbed,
493
00:24:25,717 --> 00:24:27,270
but that'll be for-friggin'- ever.
494
00:24:29,188 --> 00:24:31,105
As Olive considered how the secrets
495
00:24:31,168 --> 00:24:34,442
she and aunt Lily were keeping
were holding them back,
496
00:24:34,546 --> 00:24:37,811
the pie maker tried
to explain his fear of letting go.
497
00:24:37,841 --> 00:24:38,869
How'd you sleep?
498
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:40,865
I'm afraid to answer that.
499
00:24:40,969 --> 00:24:42,804
Hey, maybe this is all too fast.
500
00:24:42,834 --> 00:24:45,485
There are real risks to being on
your own if people found out about you.
501
00:24:45,515 --> 00:24:47,564
If your aunts are coming
in to the Pie Hole now...
502
00:24:47,594 --> 00:24:49,506
Yeah, but why are they
coming to the Pie Hole?
503
00:24:49,536 --> 00:24:51,658
I mean, why is aunt Lily
on an overnight trip?
504
00:24:51,688 --> 00:24:52,912
That's not who they are.
505
00:24:53,263 --> 00:24:55,965
Well, apparently it is who they are,
so I don't know who they are.
506
00:24:56,526 --> 00:24:58,205
Who they were was
507
00:24:58,235 --> 00:25:01,135
brokenhearted and in mourning,
which may be changing.
508
00:25:01,768 --> 00:25:03,632
So they're allowed
to move on and start over,
509
00:25:03,662 --> 00:25:05,556
but you don't want
me to move across the hall?
510
00:25:05,785 --> 00:25:06,934
Excuse me.
511
00:25:07,482 --> 00:25:11,230
I got this coupon
for a dozen free pies from the Pie Hole.
512
00:25:11,718 --> 00:25:13,244
Congratulations.
Take a seat.
513
00:25:13,274 --> 00:25:14,274
Thank you.
514
00:25:16,166 --> 00:25:18,481
You win some pies, Mr. Von Deenis?
515
00:25:18,930 --> 00:25:20,228
How do you know my name?
516
00:25:20,488 --> 00:25:22,449
Everybody knows it.
It's just one of those places.
517
00:25:22,479 --> 00:25:25,036
We're looking for a girl
you met at the circus the other night.
518
00:25:25,096 --> 00:25:26,885
A teenager named Nikki,
a clown in training.
519
00:25:26,915 --> 00:25:29,425
You were the last person to be seen
with her before she disappeared.
520
00:25:29,855 --> 00:25:31,638
Yeah, I remember her.
521
00:25:32,205 --> 00:25:34,274
She was mad because
522
00:25:34,304 --> 00:25:37,338
the other clowns made her stay late
to clean me up.
523
00:25:37,368 --> 00:25:39,257
There's witnesses say
you threatened them.
524
00:25:39,402 --> 00:25:43,153
They stripped me down to my underwear,
marched me to the center ring,
525
00:25:43,281 --> 00:25:45,798
where half the audience
threw chocolate pies at me
526
00:25:45,828 --> 00:25:49,692
while they sang this "oh, so funny"
rhyming song about my name...
527
00:25:50,551 --> 00:25:52,080
So I thought they were done.
528
00:25:52,334 --> 00:25:53,152
But, no...
529
00:25:53,182 --> 00:25:56,836
They said I needed a shower,
but there was no shower,
530
00:25:57,239 --> 00:25:59,445
just some horse named Peppers.
531
00:25:59,684 --> 00:26:00,558
Oh, my god.
532
00:26:00,588 --> 00:26:02,904
Somebody did that to me,
I'd want to kill them twice.
533
00:26:02,934 --> 00:26:04,652
And I didn't even see it coming.
534
00:26:04,682 --> 00:26:07,364
They made me wear some clown mask.
535
00:26:07,933 --> 00:26:09,271
So when Nikki came back,
536
00:26:09,301 --> 00:26:11,735
you grabbed her, followed the other,
then ran them into the pond.
537
00:26:11,765 --> 00:26:14,726
When you saw what happened,
you dropped your mask in the bushes.
538
00:26:14,886 --> 00:26:17,120
- Where's Nikki, Von Deenis?
- I don't know!
539
00:26:17,313 --> 00:26:19,548
I never chased after them.
Nikki did.
540
00:26:19,651 --> 00:26:20,663
- Nikki?
- Yeah.
541
00:26:20,693 --> 00:26:22,676
I gave her back the clown mask,
542
00:26:22,779 --> 00:26:25,016
then she hopped
in one of the clown cars
543
00:26:25,046 --> 00:26:27,091
and chased after them to catch up.
544
00:26:27,121 --> 00:26:29,177
And you can prove it wasn't
you that went after them?
545
00:26:29,207 --> 00:26:31,862
My kids wouldn't even
get into the car with me.
546
00:26:31,998 --> 00:26:36,023
They made me play games in the midway
until my clothes dried off.
547
00:26:37,293 --> 00:26:40,027
The trail of Nikki Heaps
seemed to go cold.
548
00:26:41,571 --> 00:26:44,073
The pie maker
returned to his apartment
549
00:26:44,175 --> 00:26:46,945
and pondered what the temperature
of his relationship
550
00:26:46,975 --> 00:26:49,327
with the girl across the hall was.
551
00:26:50,057 --> 00:26:51,057
Chuck?
552
00:26:54,936 --> 00:26:56,653
I talked to that ring-toss guy.
553
00:26:56,683 --> 00:26:58,711
He confirmed Von Deenis
didn't leave the circus till
554
00:26:58,741 --> 00:27:01,710
after them clowns would have
gone into the pond, so he didn't do it.
555
00:27:01,872 --> 00:27:03,232
It's really late.
556
00:27:03,807 --> 00:27:04,807
You got any tea?
557
00:27:09,790 --> 00:27:12,672
If Bryce was telling the truth about her
and she was the one who went after them,
558
00:27:12,702 --> 00:27:14,681
then that puts Nikki
at the scene of the murders.
559
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,754
- And he said she was angry.
- Nikki didn't run
560
00:27:16,784 --> 00:27:18,714
them clowns off the road.
That ain't who she is.
561
00:27:18,744 --> 00:27:20,794
I don't know.
I think you're right about people.
562
00:27:20,824 --> 00:27:23,778
They decide they want a fresh start, and
everything about them ends up changing.
563
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:25,979
I didn't come here
to talk about dead girl.
564
00:27:26,838 --> 00:27:28,387
Why the change of heart about Nikki?
565
00:27:28,417 --> 00:27:30,578
I guess my glass
is half full on this one.
566
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,466
I would say
you don't even have a glass.
567
00:27:32,496 --> 00:27:34,926
You just have a wet ring
on the table where the glass used to be.
568
00:27:35,963 --> 00:27:37,629
We're talking
about a lost little girl.
569
00:27:38,071 --> 00:27:40,167
Now, maybe she is
a little pissant pain in the ass,
570
00:27:40,197 --> 00:27:41,851
but I don't think she's a murderer.
571
00:27:47,138 --> 00:27:48,552
Why did you take this case?
572
00:27:48,582 --> 00:27:51,394
Nikki's mother asked me if I knew
what it was like to lose a daughter.
573
00:27:54,544 --> 00:27:55,950
Did your daughter run away?
574
00:27:58,073 --> 00:28:00,274
Wife ran away...
took her with seven years ago.
575
00:28:01,122 --> 00:28:02,733
- Does anyone...
- No one knows.
576
00:28:03,426 --> 00:28:05,053
- I know.
- Wish you didn't.
577
00:28:06,550 --> 00:28:07,760
I got to go.
578
00:28:10,283 --> 00:28:11,785
Would you still recognize her?
579
00:28:17,497 --> 00:28:19,196
She was a stubborn little thing.
580
00:28:20,907 --> 00:28:22,129
I'd recognize that.
581
00:28:23,012 --> 00:28:24,673
At least some things never change.
582
00:28:25,629 --> 00:28:27,925
Why are you smiling?
This is all very weepy stuff.
583
00:28:28,635 --> 00:28:31,889
Nikki's mother told me the thing
Nikki hated the most was being alone.
584
00:28:32,162 --> 00:28:34,110
She left home with a mime,
then with the clowns.
585
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:35,897
I bet she never
even left the circus.
586
00:28:36,293 --> 00:28:39,103
- I bet she's too scared to go very far.
- How can you be sure?
587
00:28:40,383 --> 00:28:41,607
Wishful thinking.
588
00:28:44,835 --> 00:28:46,360
I'm gonna find this girl.
589
00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:53,362
All right, we'll split up.
590
00:28:53,744 --> 00:28:56,060
You two take the midway,
I'll go around back to the big top.
591
00:28:56,090 --> 00:28:57,495
What if we can't find her?
592
00:28:57,664 --> 00:29:00,351
Well, that means I'm wrong about her,
and we're back to square one.
593
00:29:00,381 --> 00:29:04,564
As the private investigators set out
once again to hunt for the missing girl,
594
00:29:04,936 --> 00:29:07,422
Olive and Lily ate the
morning porridge
595
00:29:07,452 --> 00:29:10,217
and wondered if the truffle-hunting pig
might be retrained
596
00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:12,803
to hunt for a packet of sugar.
597
00:29:12,906 --> 00:29:16,516
I'd forgotten how much I hated
this morning porridge when I was here.
598
00:29:16,851 --> 00:29:19,415
I could throw up in my mouth a little
and not even know the difference.
599
00:29:19,445 --> 00:29:22,608
This is a terrible thing to say, but
I thought that when Charlotte died...
600
00:29:23,741 --> 00:29:26,424
My guilt over
what I did to Vivian might die, too.
601
00:29:27,047 --> 00:29:28,188
But it didn't.
602
00:29:28,218 --> 00:29:29,445
It lived on.
603
00:29:29,716 --> 00:29:32,574
It was then that Olive
realized she would now have
604
00:29:32,635 --> 00:29:35,534
to keep an even bigger secret
from Lily, that Chuck
605
00:29:35,897 --> 00:29:37,135
was still alive.
606
00:29:37,165 --> 00:29:39,934
Maybe there's some sort
of cosmic reason it didn't die.
607
00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:43,292
Your guilt...
not Charlotte, of course.
608
00:29:43,395 --> 00:29:45,100
I just can't seem
to put it behind me.
609
00:29:46,388 --> 00:29:49,090
The truth is, I haven't really
put Charlotte behind me, either.
610
00:29:49,665 --> 00:29:51,409
Suddenly, without warning,
611
00:29:51,439 --> 00:29:54,572
Olive Snook had a tiny,
yet very real, epiphany.
612
00:29:54,602 --> 00:29:56,515
Maybe you shouldn't
put Charlotte behind you.
613
00:29:56,866 --> 00:29:59,072
Maybe you should
put her in front of you.
614
00:29:59,162 --> 00:30:01,185
Don't completely let her go.
Cling a little.
615
00:30:01,288 --> 00:30:02,687
What about a fresh start?
616
00:30:02,789 --> 00:30:04,355
It's too soon.
You need to go home.
617
00:30:04,457 --> 00:30:07,782
Your sister needs you. She's lost
her niece. She can't lose you, too.
618
00:30:07,812 --> 00:30:09,902
I can't make you stay
in this place forever.
619
00:30:10,005 --> 00:30:13,998
I came here to keep your secret,
but I'm staying to keep one of my own,
620
00:30:14,028 --> 00:30:15,382
one that I could never,
621
00:30:16,097 --> 00:30:17,087
ever,
622
00:30:18,263 --> 00:30:19,013
ever...
623
00:30:19,668 --> 00:30:21,498
- tell you.
- Tell me.
624
00:30:21,698 --> 00:30:23,898
I still love the pie maker,
and he loves someone else.
625
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,306
Damn it.
626
00:30:26,657 --> 00:30:27,917
Forgive me.
627
00:30:36,185 --> 00:30:38,075
Can I say I know you can
take care of yourself?
628
00:30:38,105 --> 00:30:40,976
When you moved out, I panicked because
I thought everything was changing and...
629
00:30:41,078 --> 00:30:42,575
Everything is changing.
630
00:30:42,605 --> 00:30:44,763
Way to ruin a good apology.
631
00:30:44,793 --> 00:30:47,482
What is so terrible
about starting fresh?
632
00:30:47,543 --> 00:30:49,943
Because "starting fresh" means
something else is ending stale.
633
00:30:51,689 --> 00:30:52,878
You're Chuck,
634
00:30:53,499 --> 00:30:56,700
who I destroyed play-doh cities with,
Chuck, my best friend, my first kiss.
635
00:30:58,708 --> 00:31:00,831
- I don't want that to change.
- Yeah.
636
00:31:01,130 --> 00:31:03,230
And I'm also Chuck
who went on a pleasure cruise
637
00:31:03,260 --> 00:31:05,000
and got a plastic bag
put over her head.
638
00:31:05,171 --> 00:31:07,586
- That's not as much fun to remember.
- But it happened.
639
00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:09,946
And when it was happening,
I was thinking...
640
00:31:09,976 --> 00:31:13,090
I was thinking, "Son of a bitch, why'd
I have to go get ice for my ginger ale?"
641
00:31:13,296 --> 00:31:14,593
But really I was thinking,
642
00:31:14,653 --> 00:31:16,886
"I finally get to live my own life,
and it's already over."
643
00:31:18,239 --> 00:31:19,178
And then you...
644
00:31:21,122 --> 00:31:23,267
you came
and you gave me another chance.
645
00:31:23,329 --> 00:31:24,448
So it's my fault.
646
00:31:24,478 --> 00:31:26,691
My first time around,
I was terrified of change,
647
00:31:26,721 --> 00:31:29,148
and I'm not gonna make
that mistake again. I can't.
648
00:31:29,367 --> 00:31:32,319
But how can you start again with someone
who only knows who you were before?
649
00:31:32,379 --> 00:31:33,570
How do we make it work?
650
00:31:33,856 --> 00:31:37,587
I knew the caterpillar, but maybe it's
time for you to become the butterfly.
651
00:31:38,297 --> 00:31:39,826
You did not just say that.
652
00:31:39,964 --> 00:31:41,578
Did not know you were there.
653
00:31:42,886 --> 00:31:45,081
Truckload of mimes just pulled up,
and they ain't talking.
654
00:31:46,421 --> 00:31:48,025
I mean, they can talk.
655
00:31:48,315 --> 00:31:49,736
They just aren't saying anything
656
00:31:49,766 --> 00:31:52,347
except they knew there'd be jobs
opening up at the circus.
657
00:31:52,632 --> 00:31:55,050
Word must have spread about
the clowns needing to be replaced.
658
00:31:55,571 --> 00:31:58,260
Wait a minute. Rocky was looking
for a job, too... Look.
659
00:31:58,467 --> 00:32:02,706
"Mimes, jugglers are invited to
fill positions available immediately."
660
00:32:02,736 --> 00:32:04,546
There's no name, but...
661
00:32:05,870 --> 00:32:06,811
same number.
662
00:32:06,872 --> 00:32:08,768
We found Rocky three days ago.
663
00:32:08,798 --> 00:32:11,579
Before they disappeared.
So how did the circus management
664
00:32:11,609 --> 00:32:14,393
know they need to replace the clowns
before they even knew they were dead?
665
00:32:14,423 --> 00:32:16,592
Unless someone knew
they were gonna be dead.
666
00:32:17,283 --> 00:32:18,131
Arnaud.
667
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:20,952
It was a union dispute.
668
00:32:21,052 --> 00:32:21,924
Union?
669
00:32:21,954 --> 00:32:23,760
The clowns
would pretend to go drinking,
670
00:32:23,790 --> 00:32:26,408
but I knew they were having
secret meetings, trying to organize.
671
00:32:26,838 --> 00:32:28,397
They wanted health care, more money.
672
00:32:28,608 --> 00:32:30,126
I was gonna fire 'em, not kill 'em.
673
00:32:30,187 --> 00:32:32,044
How'd you know about
these secret meetings?
674
00:32:32,147 --> 00:32:33,845
Nikki was my spy on the inside.
675
00:32:34,315 --> 00:32:36,336
The other clowns had no idea.
676
00:32:36,675 --> 00:32:38,742
She left here to follow them
to a meeting the night
677
00:32:38,772 --> 00:32:41,896
they got run into the lake.
I swear, it was the last time I saw her.
678
00:32:41,990 --> 00:32:44,605
- Why didn't you tell us?
- 'cause I know I'd look guilty.
679
00:32:44,925 --> 00:32:47,060
When she disappeared
and you all came looking for her,
680
00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:48,562
I got scared I'd get put away.
681
00:32:48,663 --> 00:32:50,271
Why would Nikki want to be your spy?
682
00:32:50,373 --> 00:32:52,314
Said everyone thought
she was a wallflower,
683
00:32:52,344 --> 00:32:54,662
so she was gonna start
over and be a star.
684
00:32:55,301 --> 00:32:56,583
Yeah. Yeah.
685
00:32:56,613 --> 00:32:59,614
She didn't like having to pay her dues
with the other clowns so we made a deal.
686
00:32:59,674 --> 00:33:01,690
She'd spy on
the clowns' union activities...
687
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,335
In return,
you'd put her in the show.
688
00:33:03,428 --> 00:33:06,272
She said she'd do anything
not to go back to who she was.
689
00:33:06,415 --> 00:33:08,623
I just didn't think
she was capable of murder.
690
00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:10,041
What was that?
691
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,213
Oh, hell no!
692
00:33:17,610 --> 00:33:18,842
Get down!
693
00:33:29,613 --> 00:33:31,484
I think the human
cannonball was meant for us.
694
00:33:33,381 --> 00:33:35,651
Well aware that the range
of a human cannonball is less
695
00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:38,813
than the diameter of
a low-rent traveling circus...
696
00:33:38,923 --> 00:33:40,590
Was that Nikki?
Did she shoot at us?
697
00:33:40,620 --> 00:33:41,500
No.
698
00:33:42,108 --> 00:33:43,556
But I think I know who did,
699
00:33:43,586 --> 00:33:46,096
and if Nikki is still here,
we better find her before they do.
700
00:33:46,126 --> 00:33:47,578
The private investigator felt
701
00:33:47,608 --> 00:33:50,351
he was closing in on the answers
to the mystery.
702
00:33:57,354 --> 00:33:58,424
Hey, listen.
703
00:34:12,705 --> 00:34:13,916
I know you're in here.
704
00:34:18,366 --> 00:34:20,006
We know
you were spying on the clowns.
705
00:34:21,343 --> 00:34:22,826
You saw them get run off the road.
706
00:34:22,856 --> 00:34:25,726
We know that 'cause we found
the mask that Bryce gave back to you.
707
00:34:26,970 --> 00:34:29,921
You didn't run them off the road,
Nikki, but you saw who did.
708
00:34:31,363 --> 00:34:33,345
And now you're scared.
Am I right, honey?
709
00:34:38,030 --> 00:34:38,934
You're right.
710
00:34:41,005 --> 00:34:42,886
Why would
you stay here in the circus?
711
00:34:42,916 --> 00:34:45,916
I was too scared to leave,
and I couldn't go home.
712
00:34:46,529 --> 00:34:48,924
- My mom's gonna kill me.
- Did you know we were looking for you?
713
00:34:49,005 --> 00:34:51,042
Well, yeah,
but I figured you thought
714
00:34:51,072 --> 00:34:53,402
I had run the clowns off
the road, so I hid.
715
00:34:53,432 --> 00:34:54,655
I don't understand...
716
00:34:54,685 --> 00:34:57,675
The only other person you told about the
clowns' secret meeting was Mr. Arnaud.
717
00:34:57,893 --> 00:35:00,097
Well, he didn't kill them.
718
00:35:00,127 --> 00:35:02,019
How could anyone else have known?
719
00:35:02,049 --> 00:35:04,918
Arnaud was the only one she told, but he
wasn't the only one who was listening.
720
00:35:05,446 --> 00:35:07,690
Ain't that right, Nikki? Nikki!
721
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:09,046
The facts were these...
722
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,886
Nikki Heaps had come to snitch.
723
00:35:11,916 --> 00:35:15,636
Reporting to management that the clowns
were planning their secret meeting,
724
00:35:15,806 --> 00:35:17,430
she was sent back out to spy.
725
00:35:18,128 --> 00:35:20,215
But someone else was spying on her.
726
00:35:20,245 --> 00:35:23,256
Wanting to keep the budding clown
union from blooming,
727
00:35:23,286 --> 00:35:24,756
the acrobat leapt.
728
00:35:24,964 --> 00:35:27,511
The clowns drove off
to meet secretly in the woods,
729
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:29,836
hoping to officially
form their union
730
00:35:30,003 --> 00:35:32,283
and plan their stand against
circus management,
731
00:35:32,313 --> 00:35:34,556
leaving Nikki behind on cleanup.
732
00:35:35,391 --> 00:35:37,993
The acrobat followed
the clowns into the darkness,
733
00:35:38,054 --> 00:35:41,621
unaware that the left-behind
Nikki was done with her duty
734
00:35:41,681 --> 00:35:43,384
and was now quickly catching up.
735
00:35:54,928 --> 00:35:58,178
The acrobat would make
sure that the only labor movement
736
00:35:58,208 --> 00:36:01,300
that night was a sudden
movement off the road
737
00:36:01,330 --> 00:36:03,440
and into cold, murky water.
738
00:36:05,896 --> 00:36:08,064
And as he would catch
sight of young Nikki
739
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:10,679
witnessing
his terrible clownicide...
740
00:36:12,458 --> 00:36:14,779
The snitch
would need to be snatched.
741
00:36:15,108 --> 00:36:16,087
Look!
742
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:21,682
That union would have
put us all out of business!
743
00:36:22,048 --> 00:36:25,148
Who ever heard of a circus
with a fair and safe workplace?
744
00:36:25,605 --> 00:36:26,458
You fools!
745
00:36:26,727 --> 00:36:28,667
I only wished to scare the clowns!
746
00:36:28,729 --> 00:36:31,504
Yeah, well, what about Rocky the mime?
Were you just trying to scare him, too?
747
00:36:31,564 --> 00:36:33,535
No, I wanted it to look
like the clowns did it
748
00:36:33,565 --> 00:36:35,387
to scare off the mimes
from taking the jobs.
749
00:36:35,609 --> 00:36:37,996
You see, I just wanted
everything to stay the same.
750
00:36:38,375 --> 00:36:39,495
Is that so terrible?
751
00:36:39,525 --> 00:36:42,557
Pierre, est-ce que je peux avoir
un minute avec Nikki, s'il vous plaît?
752
00:36:42,823 --> 00:36:43,933
Oui, one minute.
753
00:36:43,994 --> 00:36:46,061
Nikki, Rocky wrote you a poem.
754
00:36:46,522 --> 00:36:48,729
Oh, he did?
He was always so nice.
755
00:36:48,791 --> 00:36:51,548
"No matter
where you go or what you do,
756
00:36:51,939 --> 00:36:53,859
you'll always be
my sweet Nikki Heaps."
757
00:36:54,235 --> 00:36:55,245
Thank you.
758
00:36:55,444 --> 00:36:56,738
That's beautiful.
759
00:36:57,399 --> 00:36:58,693
My demands are simple!
760
00:36:59,383 --> 00:37:02,370
- First, in return for the girl's life,
- Hand me one of them things.
761
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,607
I demand
safe passage across the border.
762
00:37:04,867 --> 00:37:05,831
Secondly...
763
00:37:15,864 --> 00:37:17,194
You won me a prize.
764
00:37:17,464 --> 00:37:21,346
The Circus Of Fun acrobat
set about serving 25 to life.
765
00:37:21,963 --> 00:37:26,262
Olive, realizing that a new
leaf might take some time to turn over,
766
00:37:26,464 --> 00:37:29,314
braced herself for
a longer stay at the nunnery.
767
00:37:33,363 --> 00:37:36,923
Chuck and the pie maker
set about serving pies once again.
768
00:37:45,501 --> 00:37:46,921
Aunts Vivian and Lily
769
00:37:46,951 --> 00:37:51,011
returned to their old habits of eating
pie and keeping secrets, respectively,
770
00:37:51,624 --> 00:37:54,390
but did not return to being shut in.
771
00:37:55,368 --> 00:37:57,067
And a mile to the west,
772
00:37:57,263 --> 00:38:00,093
Emerson Cod gave the gift
of a new beginning
773
00:38:00,123 --> 00:38:03,322
to others while he still
could not give it to himself.
774
00:38:03,352 --> 00:38:05,056
I still can't believe
you did this to me.
775
00:38:05,292 --> 00:38:07,392
Do you know how much
trouble you've caused?
776
00:38:07,621 --> 00:38:08,613
You know what?
777
00:38:08,745 --> 00:38:10,904
24 hours ago, you was all like,
778
00:38:11,569 --> 00:38:12,887
"Find my daughter.
779
00:38:13,722 --> 00:38:15,135
Find my daughter."
780
00:38:15,378 --> 00:38:16,735
Well, I found your daughter.
781
00:38:16,991 --> 00:38:18,727
I don't know who she is anymore.
782
00:38:18,879 --> 00:38:20,947
She's completely changed.
783
00:38:21,204 --> 00:38:22,741
Love what's there.
784
00:38:23,886 --> 00:38:25,201
Love it.
785
00:38:30,998 --> 00:38:32,238
Love it.
786
00:38:49,592 --> 00:38:53,680
As mother and daughter finally
discovered what they were looking for,
787
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,232
the private investigator wondered
if what he was looking for
788
00:38:57,375 --> 00:38:59,828
had changed too much
to ever be found.
789
00:39:03,105 --> 00:39:06,114
It's been 5 days,
10 hours, and 28 minutes
790
00:39:06,144 --> 00:39:10,152
since the pie maker's childhood
sweetheart moved out of his apartment.
791
00:39:10,856 --> 00:39:14,070
And the pie maker had
embraced a fresh start.
792
00:39:15,035 --> 00:39:16,209
My name is Ned.
793
00:39:17,135 --> 00:39:19,868
I live a simple life.
I wake pies and make the dead.
794
00:39:20,313 --> 00:39:21,487
That was creepy.
795
00:39:21,681 --> 00:39:23,833
I make pies and wake the dead.
796
00:39:25,632 --> 00:39:26,672
I live alone.
797
00:39:27,735 --> 00:39:31,138
And this empty bed next to me has never
been slept in by anyone
798
00:39:31,673 --> 00:39:32,560
at any time.
799
00:39:32,817 --> 00:39:33,661
I'm Chuck,
800
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:37,346
a single girl who recently moved
into her own apartment in a big city,
801
00:39:37,385 --> 00:39:40,766
raised in a small town by two
unmarried sisters I call my aunts.
802
00:39:40,796 --> 00:39:44,444
I have unexciting,
yet realistic, hopes for my life.
803
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:46,893
I'm yet to meet anyone new here,
804
00:39:46,923 --> 00:39:50,244
and today is just another day in
which I fully expect nothing special...
805
00:39:50,305 --> 00:39:51,921
- Or exciting...
- To happen.
806
00:39:56,546 --> 00:39:58,502
You must be the new girl in 44.
807
00:39:58,862 --> 00:39:59,629
I'm Ned.
808
00:39:59,734 --> 00:40:01,756
I'm Charlotte,
but you can call me Chuck.
809
00:40:07,297 --> 00:40:09,180
I really want to kiss you now.
810
00:40:09,567 --> 00:40:12,192
But we've only just met.
We're two strangers in a big city.
811
00:40:12,222 --> 00:40:13,393
These things take time.
812
00:40:14,871 --> 00:40:16,644
I work in the Pie Hole downstairs.
813
00:40:16,674 --> 00:40:17,674
Really?
814
00:40:17,798 --> 00:40:19,524
I own the Pie Hole downstairs.
815
00:40:20,222 --> 00:40:22,026
May we... walk together?
816
00:40:22,374 --> 00:40:25,206
- Well, that would be swell, Harvey.
- It's Ned, actually.
817
00:40:26,485 --> 00:40:27,575
Very nice name.
818
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:29,450
Having recently discovered
819
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,246
that watching someone else make a fresh
start alone can be
820
00:40:33,307 --> 00:40:37,777
fairly traumatic, the lovers who could
not touch were happy to find that making
821
00:40:37,978 --> 00:40:40,855
a fresh start together was a thrill.
822
00:40:40,885 --> 00:40:42,584
Can we play this game every morning?
823
00:40:42,614 --> 00:40:44,162
Absolutely. Definitely.
824
00:40:45,322 --> 00:40:48,322
