More: When Calls the Heart previews much-anticipated moment

In Austria, Anna and Felicia prepare to head into the transportation bureau office so they can find proof that Luke wasn’t killed in an accident — rather he was murdered. Later, after there’s a shift change Anna enters the bureau, with Felicia sobbing, and tells the clerk they need some information. Anna claims to be an attorney and Felicia is the wife of a man who was on the cable car that crashed. Could they have a look at the evidence to see if he was a passenger? At first the clerk denies her but Anna talks in German to the man and says Felicia’s husband was suspected to have a mistress — she wonders if she was with Felicia’s husband that day. Felicia cries hysterically and Anna begs the man to help her give Felicia closure. When he offers to allow them to see the hard copies, Felicia quickly stops crying and expresses her deep appreciation.

The clerk gives them some time alone then runs into the previous clerk, who left his phone behind. When he tells them about the ladies inside, the other man demands he describe them. Later, the man calls Victor and reports the women. Victor guesses it’s Anna and Felicia and orders the man to handle them — by any means necessary.

Back inside, Anna looks at a file and tells Felicia that the cable car was delayed from the time it was supposed to leave — she wonders why the 12-minute delay isn’t noted in the file… unless Luke was late, which he was notorious for, then they would have waited for him. Anna starts to take photos of the files and Felicia knows it’ll take a while so heads out to distract the clerk. When Felicia leaves, Victor’s contact appears outside the office door. Slowly, he enters the office, sees Anna with her back to him and pulls out his gun.
