05x04 - Happy Trails

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Chesapeake Shores...

Mr. Driscoll, can you
confirm that you painted this?

- [DOOR BANGS SHUT]
- Now let's get to work

keeping the Shore safe, huh?

Make it happen, Karl.

Did he just call me "Karl"?

[TOM] The Appalachian Trail, Mick?

I bet the two of you couldn't
hike miles of that trail today.

Why not? You up for that, Mick?

I want you to ride point on the project.

We don't have to worry
about offending each other,

because we're already offended!

[CONNOR] Is Paul Dilpher a client here?

We have more than
lawyers in this firm.

You don't think there's ever
a conflict with any of them?

You do your job and you and I are
gonna figure this out together.

Connor!

Great work in court.

Oh. Well, thank you for saying so.

Absolutely. Tonight, : .

Cocktails in my office. No excuses.

- Sounds good, sir.
- Please.

- Call me Bob.
- You got it.

[♪♪♪]

Connor.

I can't tell you how thrilled we are

about your work on the MacLeod case.

Well, I appreciate you and Linda

- letting me handle a lot of it, sir.
- [CHUCKLES]

I'll get you to call me "Bob" someday.

Sorry. Bob.

I said someday...

not yet.

[LAUGHS]

I'm only joking.

Never apologize for good manners.

It shows that you were raised right.

- Family is everything. Isn't it, Linda?
- Absolutely.

So... listen.

I know that you worked for
your uncle, Thomas O'Brien,

but did you ever actually
work for your father?

[VOICE CATCHES] Well, I, uh...

I did some construction work for him

for some summer money in high school.

No, we mean after you became a lawyer.

Did you do any legal work

for the O'Brien Construction
and Development Group?

This doesn't have to do
with the Dilpher case, right?

Because I was assured
there would be a firewall.

We were just wondering.

Yeah, we're just trying
to get some background.

You know, for example, what do you know

about how your father does business?

I have to tell you, I'm not
comfortable with this conversation.

[SNICKERS] He's not "comfortable
with this conversation."

Don't take this the wrong way, son...

No, there's only one way to take it.

Okay, Connor, obviously,
we struck a nerve.

No. Not a nerve.

- A moral boundary.
- O'Brien, calm down.

If your father is innocent,

then you shouldn't have
anything to worry about,

should you?

We looked great.

Did we know we looked great, or
did we just take it for granted?

We still look great.

[THOMAS CHUCKLES]

Thomas, it's two nights
on the Appalachian Trail.

We're not claiming a
homestead in Oklahoma.

I packed just what we need.

We need that?

Yeah. The selfie stick.

I don't even want to
know what that's for.

I've got this "topo"
app, tells you everything.

Even gives you running
stats on your rate of climb.

You can keep track of your
whole journey, step by step.

We don't need it. I've got paper maps.

Remember those?

- Been around for a couple thousand years?
- Yeah, yeah.

Oh, hey, everybody ready?

Thomas is ready for every conceivable
thing that might happen to us,

- including alien abduction.
- That's another app.

- Ah.
- All right, we better get going.

We got a long way to go, if we're
gonna make it to that the boulder

- by the end of the day.
- Yeah, we got . miles

for the first part of our journey,

and only . hours to get there.

So much for adventure.

[HORN HONKING]

- Hey!
- Hey.

- Look who's here.
- Wait!

We have provisions!

[DOORS SHUT]

- Aw!
- But we have food.

I brought MREs and beef jerky and...

Well, this is beef stew
with wild mushrooms.

- What, no wine?
- Oh, it's in there.

- You are good.
- Thanks a lot.

Hey, be sure to watch out for
the Snallygaster this weekend.

Ooh! The Snallygaster.

The mythical beast
of the Maryland woods.

The annual Snally Hunt's
this weekend, isn't it?

Yeah, the B&B is booked
solid with Snallyhunters.

Mm-hmm. They seem like a nice group.

Lots of equipment, though...

video and motion-sensing cameras.

Well, it's only natural. I mean,

capturing the Snallygaster in its
natural habitat is their Holy Grail...

and it's never been done.

Because there isn't one!

- The Snallygaster's a myth.
- [THOMAS] So you say.

- What, you still believe in that thing?
- Well, I have an open mind.

So, if someone were to get a
picture of this Snallygaster,

- what would it look like?
- Well, there's differing opinions about that.

Some say it's half-bird, half-octopus...

... With a metal beak
and sharp, pointy teeth.

[DAVID] You see, this
is what I can't envision.

It's a bird, but it's
also a squid with teeth.

No, it's not a squid, it's an octopus.

- Get it right.
- Oh-kay.

I brought my telephoto
lens. If he's out there,

I'll get a photo and
settle the argument.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Thomas.

- Bye!
- Bye!

- Have fun!
- See ya.

Bye!

[♪♪♪]

Don't you just love working Saturdays?

Gotta do what you gotta do.

Brought you a muffin.

Oh. Thanks.

[BAG RUSTLES]

Blueberry?

My favorite. How'd you know?

I didn't. That's all they had.

Huh. Well, thank you anyway.

And these are from Mr. Finley's office.

I need you to sign for them.

Sure. I'll sign 'em later.

That's not what "I need
you to sign for them" means.

I will sign them right now.

[DRAWER RUMBLES]

One thing...

do you have a lock on that drawer?

Uh, yeah, but I don't have a key yet.

Well, even when you do, be careful.

- What do you mean?
- Sometimes, there's more than one copy of a key.

Again, what do you mean?

I'm saying you might not want to leave

any documents sitting
around overnight Willy-nilly

for anyone to see.

"Willy-nilly"? As in, locked in my desk?

Well, it's not really your desk, is it?

Like everything else
here, it belongs to D.L.P.

- Are you trying to tell me something?
- Like what?

I... I really don't know.

Well, then how can I know?
I'm no firewall expert.

[♪♪♪]

Have fun, you two.

And don't get att*cked by bears.

I should've never shown
you The Revenant.

No, you really shouldn't have.

- All right, let's move 'em out!
- On my way.

Oh! Don't forget to pick us up.

Sunday afternoon at Crawford's Gap.

- Got it, Chief.
- And Dad?

Just have fun. I will handle
anything Kincaid-related.

Kincaid who?

- Very good.
- Andale!

[SIGHS] I hope they'll be okay.

What? Mom, this was your idea.

You said you wanted them to
come out here to work things out.

That's before I thought
about two men in their s

lost in the woods for the weekend.

With bears!

- Don't joke about that!
- They're gonna be fine!

I hope so.

So, uh...

you and Dad have been spending
a lot of time together.

We have.

I mean, I don't mean to pry
into my parents' affairs...

Not affairs.

But are you two getting
back together, or... ?

I think so.

- You think so?
- Mm, we haven't said anything,

made it official.

But you're... dating?

Yeah. We are dating.

That's nice.

Yeah. It is nice.

Are you okay with it?

[LAUGHS] What, do parents need
their daughter's approval these days?

I do.

Yeah. Yeah, I approve.

You guys both deserve to be happy.

Yeah.

As long as you can keep
him in the lifestyle

to which he's become accustomed.

Ah, yes.

And the journey begins...

day one, hour one, on the trail.

Are you gonna be doing
that this whole trip?

It's a real-time journaling app.

You do uploads, take pictures, then
you have a scrapbook of your trip.

[SNAP]

Or you could just remember it.

[SIGHS]

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKS]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What's going on?
- I wanted to talk to you about something,

but I didn't want to
call you from my office.

- Why not?
- Paranoia?

About what?

Something weird is going on at the firm.

They just took on Paul
Dilpher as a client.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And Linda said that
there would be a firewall,

but I'm not... I'm not so sure.

Look, Connor, if you're at any big firm,

there could be clients
with a conflict of interest.

If they say they're
gonna put up a firewall,

- then they'll put up a firewall.
- I know,

but one of the paralegals
came into my office today,

- and hinted I might be being spied on.
- She said that?

Well, she didn't come
out and say it, but...

- like I said... paranoia.
- Wow.

I don't know. I mean, you
might need to be careful.

[♪♪♪]

My four-alarm chili is served.

I have a glass of milk ready.

I've heard about this chili,
but I've never actually eaten it.

Yeah. Well, I warn
you, it's hot, very hot.

Come on. Y'all gone soft on me?

Oh, Captain, you know you make
the best chili on the Shore,

but you do have to
brace yourself for it.

Here we go.

- Oh!
- Oh, man.

Mm!

What? Can't handle the fourth alarm?

No offense, Captain, but...

If you don't like it, just put
some more cheese on it, Karl.

Kevin.

What?

Name's Kevin.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

The cheese does not help.

- [CHUCKLING]
- If you don't like my chili,

you can go ahead and laugh
over a bowl of cold cereal.

No...

Well, we've antagonized the master chef.

It's not good.

Wait. Did he use this instead of salt?

Oh, wow.

I guess he has been working too hard.

[DAVID] Got it!

Perfectly-aged Asiago.

Wow. It didn't come with its own truck?

We should get back before the
Snallyhunters get restless.

Okay. Almost done with the seating.

Ooh.

Please tell me you did
not put the Harbin-Smythes

- with the Pimlico-Sullivans.
- Nope.

Nor the Heath-Hollingsworths
with the Karps

or the William Johnsons with
any of those other Johnsons.

Ah. "Peck Jenga." My
mother's favorite game.

She's not gonna give
us any more, is she?

Well, depends what happens between her

and her friends before the wedding.

I'm guessing she's not going
to be your Maid of Honor?

[GASPS] Now there's a solution!

To what? I'm kidding.
I'm definitely kidding.

My dilemma!

She is still trying to decide
if it should be Bree or Abby.

- Maybe I should ask both of them?
- Mm-mm.

No, because then it'll
look like I can't decide,

and then, if I pick one, it'll
look like I'm slighting the other.

[BRITISH ACCENT] Ah, yes. And what
would the Heath-Hollingsworths say?

Knock it off. Can you decide?

- Me?
- Okay. Kidding.

That would be abdicating
my responsibility.

- Which wouldn't be a bad thing, would it?
- It would.

I really have to decide, don't I?

- Mm-hmm.
- Well, let's talk about it

while we go feed some Snallyhunters.

Maybe Kevin and Sarah
had the right idea.

- What's that?
- We just take our cheese and elope.

Uh... uh, no!

- Don't you dare!
- [JESS LAUGHS]

This is exactly as I remember it.

I'm so glad we did this.

Me too.

'Course, the last time we were here,

we moved a lot further in a day.

Well, it's not the
length of the journey,

it's the quality of the steps.

Face it, Mick. We're old.

Ah, "old" is in your head.
I feel like I'm inside.

Me too, but then I walk by a mirror,

and I see Dad looking back at me.

Well, you do look like him.

You always say that. I
think you look more like him.

Well, he was a strong,
handsome man! [CHUCKLES]

What ever happened to men?

What?

Dad built his own house,
put in the plumbing.

He was up fixing the
roof in his late s.

Drove Mom crazy when he'd do that.

She always told him he
was gonna break his neck.

And he'd say...

[BOTH] "... I fully
intend to die in my sleep."

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

I want to go that way.

What is it with you
with aging and dying?

I think about it. Don't you?

Never.

[♪♪♪]

Welcome to the Inn at Eagle Point

- and a weekend of Snally Hunting.
- Thank you.

- Hi.
- Wow.

- And what are those?
- "Snally Snacks." Care to try one?

Don't mind if I do.

[CASES THUDDING AND BANGING]

I think I've unloaded about
a thousand pounds of gear.

What are these people bringing?

Telephoto lenses, infrared cameras,

tripods, Doppler
radar, D.A.T. recorders.

[WHISPERS] They're
very serious about this.

Yeah. As serious as Teddy Roosevelt
was when he did a Snally Hunt.

- He did?
- Look it up.

I feel like I'm getting to know

an important side of
you before we marry.

- You can't back out now.
- Mm! So good.

- Did you make these?
- Yes, they're my special mini-cornbread muffins

- with extra Asiago cheese.
- [WHISPERING] Shh-shh-shh!

They're "Snally Snacks."

[HUSHED] Oh, they're Snally Snacks.

Do you mind if I take some with me?

- Yeah, sure, there's plenty.
- Mm!

Are you gonna bring some
to Dad and Uncle Thomas

- when they get home?
- Mm! No, but that is a very good idea.

So, can I have a few more, too, please?

Coming right up.

I have to find a way around
Arthur Driscoll's defenses.

- I think these are gonna do it.
- Mom, I gotta ask.

Why are you so interested
in Driscoll and his work?

Honey, he's one of the
foremost landscape artists

of the mid- th century.

It's like I discovered a trove
of Edward Hopper's paintings.

Andrew Wyeth's paintings?

Vincent Van Gogh?

Oh! Wow.

Bringing him back to prominence
would be such an achievement.

Like catching the Snallygaster?

Mm. Only better.

But I'm not just doing this for myself.

I'm doing it for the world.

That's what the Snallyhunters say.

[DAVID SIGHS]

Him calling me "Karl"...

that's one thing, but
that chili... come on.

- We all do stuff like that.
- Yeah, do we? Do we really?

And Gahagan had a partner named Karl.

He d*ed on the job.

You probably just remind him of him.

- Now I feel bad.
- You should.

[SIGHS]

Gahagan's always been a mentor to me

and I love the guy.

What if there is
something wrong with him?

[SIGHING] If you're
so worried about him,

why don't you just talk to him?

No, you're probably right.

It's nothing.

Right?

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

- Who is it and what do you want?
- [DEEP VOICE] Food delivery!

I didn't order anything.

Please, Mr. Driscoll,

I just need a few moments of your time.

- See, I grew up here, on the Shores.
- Good for you.

- These are good!
- Aren't they?

But I spent years as a curator
at the Met in New York and...

- [THUD]
- I just want the world to know about your work!

[SIGHING]

[DOOR OPENS]

[THUD]

[FUMES]

[♪♪♪]

Last time we were here,
we moved a lot faster.

Oh, we were trying to out-do each other.

- And now?
- Still trying.

- Why are we so competitive?
- I think all brothers are.

- Seeking their father's approval?
- Maybe.

Who can run faster, hit the ball harder,

hold their liquor better...
all the stuff Dad thought...

- Why do you always do this?
- ... was important.

- Do what?
- Why do you always go to that place

where Dad loved me more because
I was the better athlete?

You were his favorite and you know it.

That's not true! He was
incredibly hard on me.

Yeah, y... y... you
got away with m*rder.

You'd come home late,
he wouldn't say a word.

I'd miss one curfew, and I'd
be grounded for two weeks.

- That's because you talked back!
- You did, too. He just laughed.

Well, 'course he did.
I was his favorite.

Ho, ho, ho...

Coming through.

[♪♪♪]

[WHEEZY] They don't know
how to pace themselves.

Those two are gonna burn themselves out,

you mark my words.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, is that...

is that the boulder?

You know what?

I think it is.

I don't think it was
down this steep a hill.

Oh, we can make it down there.
Come on. We'll take a picture.

We can use your selfie stick.

- So you do know what it's for!
- Come on. Come on.

Let's get down there
before we lose the light.

I'm telling you, it's
not the same boulder...

- [RUMBLING]
- Tommy!

Ahh!

- Oh! Oh...
- [GROANING]

Ah... oh.

Oh.

You were right.

I don't think that's the same boulder.

The wedding is so soon
and we have so much to do.

- [TEXT CHIMES]
- David wants to make the cake,

which is obviously fine...

... but he wants to make cupcakes
because he wants everybody...

- [TEXT CHIMES]
- ... to have different flavors.

But I'm like, I want a
traditional wedding cake,

I don't want a pile of cupcakes.

- Is that wrong?
- [TEXT CHIMES]

- [SLAMS CARROT DOWN]
- [FUMING SIGH]

- Are you gonna answer that?
- No! I'm not gonna answer it,

because I know exactly who it is.

It's Evan Kincaid texting me

about every piddling detail
about his stupid hotel!

He just... he wants me to help
him pick out the towel colors,

and how tall his concierge should be.

I love a tall concierge.
Makes me feel secure.

Okay, well, he needs to
figure that out for himself.

Mm. So, what do you think?

- About what?
- The cupcakes!

Oh, I... think...

that you should have a wedding cake,

if you want a wedding cake. Or... Or...

- Cupcakes? I wasn't listening.
- Okay. Never mind.

Let's talk about the invites.

- Are you gonna bring a plus-one?
- [LAUGHING]

- Who would my plus-one be?
- Jay...

- Jay?
- Oh, come on!

You know there's
something going on there.

And what's stopping you
from exploring it now?

Well, what if it's just a rebound fling?

Call it what you want. It
might be just what you need.

[CRUNCH] Oh, hey, Mom.

Have you heard from
Dad and Uncle Thomas?

No, but they're probably just busy

roasting marshmallows by the
fire and talking about old times.

[BOTH GROANING WEARILY]

Ohh...

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm okay.

- You okay?
- Yeah. I think I'm okay.

Did you... Did you call
me "Tommy" just then?

- I don't think so.
- When I was falling?

Nah. No, I didn't.

Oh. You used to call me
Tommy when we were little.

You must have had a flashback.

[GROANS] Oh, I think I
might've turned my ankle.

Can you put any weight on it?

Oh! No. No, I cannot put weight on it.

Ohh. I think it's just a sprain.

Why don't you rest it for a while,

- and then maybe you could wal...
- No, don't!

Don't. Don't say "walk it off."

Dad used to always say,
"Well, just walk it off!"

- It never worked.
- Okay. Okay. Sheesh.

Well, why don't you get your phone out?

We could call for help.

How will they find us?

Huh?

- We just passed the .
- No, we didn't. It was marker .

One of us is probably right.

Just use the cell phone. Maybe
they can locate us with GPS.

Oh, can you do that?

They do it on TV.

[NO SIGNAL BEEPING]

- Huh.
- What?

- There's no signal.
- [LAUGHS] Are you kidding?

All those apps and you
can't make a phone call?

Try your phone.

- Nope. Mustn't be any towers around here.
- Great!

I tell you what I'm gonna do...

I'm gonna go up there, find us a signal.

- So you just sit tight.
- You're never gonna make it up there.

Hey, never say "never" to an O'Brien.

[GROANING]

Oh...

Yeah. You're right.
I can't do it. No way.

- Well, at least you tried.
- Yeah.

Oh! [GROANING]

I think I hurt my shoulder
in that second fall.

Do you have any Aspirin in
that massive pack of yours?

Yeah. Yeah. I've got some
anti-inflammatories...

- You take those, too?
- I got a little arthritis in my knees.

Really? I got it in my elbow.

- All right. Here.
- Thanks.

- Take three.
- Mm-hmm.

- I gotta take a couple, too.
- Cheers.

- What's up?
- Hey, I need a favor.

- What's that?
- Can you tell me...

how important it is to have
an original copy of this?

Well, it looks like you have a
properly-recorded copy, so not very.

People lose property deeds all the
time. That's why they record them.

Well, Mr. Chang, who's driving me crazy,

is insisting that we have the
original for his high-rise project,

and we can't find it anywhere.

What do you suggest?

- I suggest you find it.
- Oh. Great. Whatcha doin' tomorrow?

- [LAUGHS] Why?
- Do you want to come to the office

and help me look for it?
I will buy you dinner.

- Phillip's Crab House?
- Ugh. Fine.

Deal.

- Okay, thank you.
- No problem.

[♪♪♪]

Abby? Abby. Hey.

- You see that car?
- Yeah.

Do you see that guy
taking pictures out of it?

- Yeah?
- Don't you find that a little bit suspicious?

Connor, we have
inspectors and competitors

take pictures of our
building sites all the time.

Yeah, but have you seen that guy?

What... see? Look, look, look.
There he goes. There he goes!

Oh, that's Barrett, with
the county inspectors.

He takes pictures of all
of our building sites.

Oh.

I'm sorry. Um,

things have been weird
at work, as you know.

I got invited by one of
the main partners for drinks

and I don't know if I can
trust the guy, like, at all.

I don't think I can trust
anybody at that place.

You're sounding seriously paranoid,

but I will still buy you dinner

if you show up to help me tomorrow.

Three words... "all you can eat."

That's four words.

[KNOCKS]

Hey. Captain, we're gonna be practicing

for the triathlon this weekend.

You want to time us?

Yeah, sure.

[PENS CLATTER]

Gertie, have you seen my car keys?

[GERTIE] Check your desk!

Oh, I just had 'em. See 'em over there?

Uh...

No, they're not here.

[GRUMBLING SIGH]

sh**t. It's always the
last place you look.

I'm sure they'll turn up.

Grab me an ice tea from
the fridge, will you?

Yeah, sure.

[♪♪♪]

[KEYS JANGLING]

Like I said.

Always the last place you look.

Toss 'em over, Karl.

It's Kevin, Captain.

Well, sure it is.

Slip of the tongue.

[♪♪♪]

Hello, Evan. It's a Saturday.

Oh, where I am, it's a Sunday.

Listen, I was thinking.

Instead of the brewery facing east,

I think it should face west.

Okay, wait, that would
change our entire layout.

You are a stickler for details.

West-facing buildings have
lower heating and cooling costs.

Yes, I know, but listen,
can we talk about this later?

I need to go pick up my kids.

Oh, from where?

Taekwondo.

Ah! "The way of the hand and the foot."

[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY] You take Taekwondo?

No, but I've thought about it.

[BEEP]

[SIGHS IRATELY]

Okay, kids. The final move...

roundhouse kick. Who
wants to demonstrate?

Carrie? Great. Give me three.

Great job. Put 'er there.

Now, everyone, one kick and you're done.

[HANDS CLAPPING SIDES]

Good job, everyone! See you next week.

So good.

Tough day?

A long day.

That was so good.

Go ahead. Give it a good sock.

- Uh... no, I'm okay.
- [GIRLS] Do it, Mom!

Come on.

- [CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
- [BOP]

Come on, you've got to
have more than that in you.

Whatever's on your
mind... leave it here.

[SIGHS]

[BOFF]

Felt kinda good. [CHUCKLES]

[THUD-BAM-THUD]

Take that! [GRUNTING]

[GIRLS LAUGHING]

Okay, that felt really good.

You know, we have an adult class,
if you want to give it a try.

Uh...

You know, I might... I might do that.

Okay. Let's go. Come on.

This is good. This works.

And it's only slightly agonizing.

Okay.

Now, I have an idea.

If I can work my way up to that tree,

what I'll do is,

I'll use a bullen and
I'll tie the carabiners on

and create a pulley system,
throw the line down to you,

put a couple of half-hitches
around your waist,

and possibly a slip-knot,

and pull you up.

The only problem is, how
do I get up to that tree?

But I think I have an idea.

Are you listening, Thomas?

Thomas?

- [PANICKED] Thomas!
- Right here, Mick.

What...

How did you...

- You were just...
- Turns out there's a path

that winds around the
trees and comes out up here.

Oh.

Well, the... the carabiner
thing would've really worked.

I'm sure it would have.

The path's off to your left.

Okay.

[GAHAGAN] Look, I know I
ordered six command boards,

five radio chest packs,
and a dozen helmet shrouds.

Two weeks ago.

No. Look, I'm outfitting a new rig.

I need that gear here tomorrow.

[BANGS RECEIVER DOWN]

Oh, hey. What's up, Kevin?

- I'll come back.
- No. No. Come in.

Come on.

[CHUCKLES UNEASILY]

I was just wondering if...

everything's okay.

Ah, sure. Yeah.

What do you mean?

I don't mean to overstep...

I've noticed that you've been
forgetting a lot of stuff lately.

Nothing big, but...

like, the keys?

[CHUCKLES]

Those keys, yeah.

[BREATHES SOFTLY, SIGHS] Yeah.

Forgetful.

Yeah, listen, um...

just between us...

I've been having a heck
of a time sleeping lately.

I mean, I'm just up all
night, flipping channels...

- Well, that's rough.
- Yeah.

But it's not a big deal.

You know, I've been meaning
to ask my doctor for something,

but what with outfitting
the new rig and all,

I've just been going non-stop.

I appreciate you caring.

We all care, Captain.

- Okay.
- Okay.

And do me a favor?

Um, if I forget something,

you tell me about it, okay?

But keep it between you and me,

just until I figure
this whole thing out.

You'll do that, won't you?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Thank you... Kevin.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, thanks for coming
in and help on a Sunday.

Yeah. No worries.

Helps me take my mind off work.
Plus, you gotta find that deed.

Mm-hmm.

We do. Mr. Chang is threatening

to shut down construction
if we don't find it.

So...

the stuff dates back to .

The files were digitized in ...

[INSERTS KEY IN LOCK]

... so...

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

I don't blame you if you want to run.

- Nope. Let's get to it.
- All right.

- I would blame you.
- Yeah, I know you would.

[PAGES RUSTLING] Ah...

thought corporate law was boring, but

going through years
of construction contracts

is positively mind-numbing.

Hey, look at this.

- Did you find the deed?
- No.

But these are all projects from
when Dilpher was Dad's contractor.

There's, like, of them here.

Wow.

How could that man be so ungrateful?

It takes all kinds to make the world.

Oh, look at the date. March , .

- Your birthday.
- No, not just any birthday...

my favorite birthday, the best birthday.

Your seventh birthday?
That was the year that

we finally got Dad to
take us to Disney World.

Yeah.

[SIGHS] Best birthday ever.

Although you did get car-sick

and throw up all over
Kevin's new sneakers.

Yeah. Best birthday ever.

[LAUGHING]

[CONNOR STOPS]

Abby...

look at the signature on here.

Dad couldn't have signed this.

He was in Florida with us that day.

This isn't a fax. This is the original.

- So you're saying that this is a forgery?
- Has to be.

Dad was in Florida. With us.

So, wait.

Paul Dilpher forged Dad's signature

to authorize the
substandard concrete pours?

He framed Dad.

We can use this to
disprove Dilpher's claim

that Dad was in on his scheme.

We need more proof.

I think I know where to find that.

[♪♪♪]

Not here. You?

Uh...

yes, I think this might
be the Disney World album.

Okay, we got... Bree...

Bree, Bree, Bree, Bree.

- Mm-hmm.
- Bree.

Jess... Bree, Bree.

Aww. You, screaming.

- Aww, you pinching me.
- Well, that's what big sisters are for.

Oh...

Look at the date.

Yes! March th, .

This proves Dad couldn't
have signed that contract!

This could clear Dad's name!

And if Dilpher forged that document,

maybe he did it to other
construction companies, too.

This is good.

It's gonna take me some time
to put the evidence together.

I'll take it to the Maryland
Attorney General myself,

otherwise my firm will use their muscle

and get Dilpher off and frame Dad.

Well, we're not gonna let that happen.

[CONNOR EXHALES DEEPLY]

[LAUGHS]

[CLAP]

[MAN] Hey, Luke.

Mr. Sullivan?

What brings you here?

Well, as part of your parole,
your P.O. can show up unannounced

at your residence

or at your place of employment.

- But you know that.
- Yes, sir.

What I meant to say was, uh,

"Hey, nice to see you."

But I thought we were
meeting on the th.

Oh, we're still meeting on the th.

Just wanted to come by in person,

see your new place of employment.

This is your new place
of employment, right?

- Yes, sir.
- So why didn't you tell me about this?

I did. I put it in my report.

Why didn't you tell me before?

You have to clear these
things with me. You know that.

Yeah, it, uh, it just
all happened so fast.

So why'd you leave
your other employment?

- Got fired.
- How come?

Well, Kwik-Go found out
about my record and...

I think you...

- I think you told them.
- I did tell them.

You were supposed to tell them.

Before they hired you.

Look, I... I tried that, sir...

several times, but no one
would take a chance on me,

and if I didn't get
a job, I'd have to...

- I'd have to go back.
- So you lied.

I didn't lie.

I just didn't tell him.

If you don't tell them,

it's a violation of your parole.

[SIGHS] Geez.

We're gonna let this slide.

For now.

What about this new
employer? Did you tell him?

I, uh... I-I did.

- And he's a stand-up kind of guy.
- Good.

Good for you.

Look, this is a nice place.

- Yeah.
- Remember this...

I can't keep giving you second chances

before I got to send you back to
your buddies at the North Branch.

- Understood, sir.
- I'll see you on the th.

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

- [MICK] Watch out for this stump here.
- Yup.

- Here we go. Up.
- Okay.

All right, Thomas. Just
a couple of more miles.

- We can do this.
- Okay.

- Come on.
- Oh, man. You two okay?

- Nah, nah, we're...
- Here, let us help.

You know what? You
can. That's a good idea.

- Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.
- Okay, easy does it.

You grab the bag, you grab the bag.

Yeah, don't tell me what to do.

- Here, I gotcha, I gotcha.
- Oh.

- Oh, yeah, thanks.
- Yeah, one under each arm is a good idea.

- Good.
- Okay, here we go.

Nice and easy at first,
okay? Take it easy.

- Here we go.
- Oh!

- Oh.
- "Oh," what?

Let me see the photo.

This is the boulder.

Holy mackerel. Yeah, that's it.

Hey, guys, listen.

We're gonna go down
there and take a picture,

and I want you to take it
with us looking just like this,

- just in these spots, okay?
- Wait, wait, wait.

This is you two?

No way!

Don't be so shocked, bub.

You're gonna get old, too, one day.

- [LAUGHING]
- Let's go take a picture.

- Come on.
- Great. Got you.

- Nice and easy.
- [MICK] You know how to ruin a guy's day,

you know that?

[TEEN] Man, I hope we're still
out here when we're your age.

No, you don't.

Say "Snallygaster".

[SNAP]

Early accounts of the Snallygaster

describe the monster called the...

'Schneller Geist'...

meaning 'quick ghost' in German."

I can't believe that this many
people actually believe in this thing.

No, it's not that they believe in it,

it's that they want to believe in it.

Haven't you ever believed
in something magical?

What, like a unicorn?

Well, yes.

See, a unicorn, I can understand,

'cause a unicorn is pretty.

but why would anybody want to believe

in a creepy monster like this?

He's not creepy. He's otherworldly.

He's...

proof that there's more to
life than what meets the eye.

He's a magical creature.

It's kind of beautiful,
when you put it that way.

Who looks like a freaky dragon,

that swoops out of the sky
and steals farm animals.

- See, now you lost me.
- Okay, come on.

Have you never believed
in something you can't see?

The Easter Bunny?

No, but I do make a delicious
German wine braised-rabbit stew.

[SCOFFS]

Well...

I did believe in the Tooth Fairy.

- Big-time.
- That's sweet.

Yeah, I still remember the excitement

of looking under my pillow and
finding that hundred-dollar bill.

Wow. Okay, we all got a quarter.

Yeah, well, my parents
had a lot to make up for.

Well, if that was the going rate,

I would've been yanking my teeth out.

[♪♪♪]

[HEAVY BLOWS LANDING]

Nice warm-up.

[WHEEZING]

That was the warm-up?

Now we'll try a few more kicks.

- Okay, let's see what you got.
- Okay.

[JESS] David, I know you
think this is all pretty goofy,

but I appreciate you doing it.

Look at how much fun everyone's having.

Even if the Snallygaster isn't real,

it doesn't matter.

No, it doesn't

because I love you.

Do you love me enough

to make one big wedding
cake instead of cupcakes?

Ooh...

I think so.

But why can't we just have both?

- You're wonderful.
- You're wonderful.

Keep your eyes peeled!

The Snallygaster could be anywhere.

They prefer to nest here,

in the pristine pines
on the Maryland shores.

Shh! Did you hear that?

[DAVID SCREAMS]

Uh, it's just an owl.
It's an owl. I saw that.

I saw the Snallygaster as a child.

[ALARMED] What?

[INNOCENTLY] Nothing.

For the love...

- What happened?
- Well, there was

this really big, mean, nasty bear...

Don't you even... !

I took a little spill down a ravine.

Actually, I took a little spill, too.

But the good news is...

♪ Ta-dah! ♪

We did it!

And they say you can't go home again.

We proved 'em wrong, Tommy.

I don't think that's the same boulder.

- Sure it is.
- Yeah,

- I didn't think so either.
- No, you did.

- No, I didn't...
- Yes, you did.

No, I didn't... I said I
did, but I didn't mean it.

- We fell off a cliff because...
- You were searching...

I didn't want to shatter
your fragile illusion.

So you shattered your leg instead.

- I did.
- I don't understand it.

- It's the same boulder.
- No, I...

No. It's the same boulder.
