Murder in the Vineyard

'I can't believe how far this property goes.'

History of this place is just amazing.

Uh, I'm so happy to be back.

Hey, your grandfather planted these vines in 1973.

- 'Mom!' - I wanna revive them.

Uh, start a new heritage collection of biodynamic wines.

- Mom! - Do you think we can do that?

I'm glad you came home. Yeah.

Mom, we're late.

I'm so sorry. I-I totally lost track of time.

- 'I'm going. Let's go!' - To be continued?

Yes, ma'am, of course.

'Summer's almost over, folks.'

'And you know what that means. It's back to school.'

'And our Paso Roblar High School cougars are ready to..'

You promised things would change after you sold your company.

I know, I know, I'm gonna be more present.

I promise. It's just, with the reopening and everything..

I'm here now. Come on!

It's your first day, it's gonna be fun.

- Hopefully. - It's a small town, you know?

They have soccer, you'll make new friends.

It's gonna be great.

'There you go. There's that smile.'

'Thank you, Tracy, for all your help.'

So it looks like you're ahead of the curve.

What does that mean?

It means you're gonna be taking

AP Bio with the seniors.

But something tells me you can handle it.

'Well, she can academically'

but this is all so new. Are you sure--

It's okay, mom. I can do it.

Great. It's settled then.

So I asked one of our best students

and the president of the Pep Squad to show Beatrice around.

Chloe, why don't you introduce yourself?

Hi, I'm Chloe, obviously.

- Hi. - Hi, Chloe.

- So you're ready? - Yeah. Yeah.

- 'Have fun.' - Bye, mom.

She's in good hands.

We don't really care as much about that stuff here.

It's more sports and rah-rah.

I mean, it's fun obviously, but..

- What? - I don't know.

It just gets, like, socially competitive.

Cheerleaders and the jocks, like, being popular.

Academics are super important, but so is winning State.

Sounds like it's more important.

Yeah. Maybe, I don't know.

Oh, my God, you should come with us to the opening game.

Pep Squad gets the best seats in the house.

- Hi. - Hey.

Uh, sorry. I was supposed to block that, but, um..

Why don't I know you?

I'm new.

- I'm Bryan. - This is Beatrice.

She just moved from the city.

It's Bee. M-my friends call me Bee.

Right. Yeah, her mom inherited the old Rayes winery.

- Cool. - 'Yo, loser!'

Stop flirting and start playing.

Um, I gotta go.

But it's nice to meet you, Beatrice.

Bee for short.

Nice.

'Um, oh, my God! Do you know who that is?'

- Some soccer player? - Dude, some soccer player?

That's like the soccer player.

He's the super star of the team. He's being recruited by UCLA.

I mean, I don't think he's said that many words to me ever.

Gosh.

Yeah, so who's the new hot girl?

That's Beatrice. She just moved here from the city.

You know, her mom's reopening the Rayes Winery.

- Dude, you move so fast. - What?

I mean, you've already got the most popular girl in class.

'Why don't you give someone else a shot for once?'

Whatever, man.

'Go do some window shopping.'

'I-I'll meet you at the car in ten.'

Okay.

- Hey, stranger. - Luke!

Oh, my God, hi!

Hi.

So the last time I saw you in Paso Roblar

you said, and I, I quote

"I've fallen in love with the city and I'm never coming back."

Well, last time I saw you, you said you were gonna be

a big soccer star and travel the world.

- I was. I-I-I did. - Yeah.

Wow, it's, it's good to see you.

You, too.

- I was, uh-- - I watched you play.

Only on TV, but you were amazing.

God, I wish you could have been there.

I mean, it was incredible.

Right up until I blew out my knee.

I heard. I'm, I'm sorry. I-I should have called.

No, you were married, and I was, uh..

Let's put it this way, I was depressed enough

without a pity call from my first love.

- I wanted to. It was just.. - Jack.

- Yeah. - And Bee, of course, you know.

It's okay.

Well, it sounds like you're shaking up the wine industry

like you did tech. No surprises there.

Yeah, it's, it's actually going really well.

- You should stop by sometime. - I'd like that.

'Luke, look, he's got the vineyard next to mine.'

I've seen him out in the fields.

I have a feeling some of the wine makers

aren't too happy I'm back.

I wouldn't take it personally.

They just don't want anymore competition

especially from a woman.

They'll come around. Just give them some time.

You don't wanna come on too strong though because

then they'll know how ambitious you are

and then they might make it a little harder for you.

This is me.

So how is Beatrice?

Good! Good. She's getting the lay of the land.

I just registered her for classes at Paso Roblar High.

- God. High School already? - Junior.

- Man, I feel old. - You and I both.

I just hope she'll fit in. She's a city kid, you know?

Well, if she's anything like her mom

she'll be student body president by this time next year.

But I'll keep an eye out for her.

Oh, there she is.

Well, it was good to see you.

You, too.

Uh, this might be a little too soon

but I was hoping

to take you out for dinner this week.

Uh, sorry. I-I think I need to take my own advice in there.

- Too strong? - No. No, no, no.

I, I would love to.

Tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night's great.

Good. I'll see you around 7:00.

- Okay. - Bye.

- Uh, there you are. - Yup, ten minutes.

Plus, I was bored.

- Who's that? - That's Luke.

He's cute.

He's taking me to dinner tomorrow.

Mom!

Look at you, you're so excited.

I don't know, I.. Well, we'll see.

'Are you sure you don't want some breakfast?'

- I'm good. - A piece of toast? Something?

No, thanks. Chloe and Reese want to stop for bagels.

- Bye, mom. - I love you. Have a great day.

- Call me if you need anything. - I will.

'Thank you guys so much for picking me up.'

'Of course.'

Hello?

Someone's in here.

I said I'm in here. Go away!

- Ah! - Whoa!
