00:01Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:04The kids are still out there.
00:05Hi, Mom.
00:06Oh, my baby boy.
00:07The fire evacuees from Benson Hills will be arriving soon.
00:10You're safe now, sweetheart.
00:11I want my dad.
00:12I'd like to introduce you to Mrs. Coulter.
00:15I can't stop thinking about how that fire could have started.
00:17You're not gonna have to look any further than A.J. McGinty.
00:30Wow.
00:31Looks like the first day of school in here.
00:33Nathan, the classroom isn't ready.
00:36What are you talking about?
00:38I see desks?
00:39Chalk?
00:40Teacher?
00:41Who cares?
00:42You know what?
00:44Maybe this would help.
00:46They're lovely.
00:48Ash is getting in everywhere.
00:51Here.
00:52Let's drink.
01:00Is this thing straight?
01:05Uh...
01:08When I look at it like this, it is.
01:15I just feel so off-balance.
01:21You've got a lot coming at you.
01:23Maybe the students need more time before they come back to school.
01:27I don't know about that.
01:28Allie seemed pretty grateful to come in today.
01:30I think routine is exactly what these students need.
01:33Still, some of them lost everything.
01:35I don't want to just pretend like things are fine.
01:38You know...
01:40I seem to recall a story about a teacher
01:43who helped Old Town get back on their feet when she first arrived.
01:46Come to dinner tonight.
01:48I'm making lemon curd.
01:50I wish I could.
01:51I really do.
01:52But Bill and I are putting up flyers for tips,
01:54and if anything comes in, we have to respond right away.
01:56Is it a criminal investigation?
01:58We're not sure yet.
01:59It could be a natural disaster.
02:01Well, I hope your flyers bring you answers.
02:03Right.
02:04Today is gonna go off without a hitch.
02:07If you eat it faster, it will turn to glue.
02:22Why don't I reheat it?
02:25But first, I think you'll like this.
02:29Ta-da!
02:32I'm not wearing that.
02:34And I'm not going to school until my dad comes back for me.
02:38Gwen, sweetheart.
02:40The doctors in Buxton said it would be quite some time
02:43before your father is released from the hospital.
02:46It's too long to be out of school.
02:48Will you at least give it a try?
02:51Feel scratchy.
02:58You hear that, sweetheart?
03:00Gwen doesn't like scratchy things.
03:02How about you?
03:03You like scratchy things?
03:04You like...
03:05No, I didn't think so.
03:06Tell you what, kiddo.
03:07You go to school, you don't have to wear it.
03:10Okay?
03:11All right, let's go.
03:12Leland, I am trying to do right by that girl.
03:21You're doing a great job.
03:22But we can't fix it all in one day.
03:24All right?
03:25That flyer's left us with a lot to fix.
03:27Right?
03:28Yeah.
03:29Okay.
03:30Here.
03:31Take over.
03:33All right, honey.
03:34Okay.
03:35Hey, love you guys.
03:36Bye.
03:37Do you like this pink dress?
03:39Welcome, everyone!
03:41Welcome, everyone!
03:42Welcome!
03:43Come on in.
03:44Find a seat.
03:46Everyone make space.
03:48Oh, my goodness.
03:49It is wonderful to see all of you.
03:52Some new faces.
03:54Some familiar faces.
03:56My name is Mrs. Thornton, and I will be your teacher,
03:59and we are going to have a great year together.
04:05Now, I know that change can be hard,
04:08but today is all about new beginnings for all of us.
04:12Hi!
04:13Come on in.
04:14We'll make space.
04:15The schoolhouse has room for everyone.
04:17Come on in.
04:18Take care.
04:19Take care.
04:20Take care.
04:21Take care.
04:23Mr. Connell, the folks of Benson Hills have nothing left but chimneys and rubble,
04:49and you want to charge them double to haul it away.
04:53Well, unless the price of business is doubled overnight, you're exploiting people during
04:56their worst hour.
04:59Section 27 of the Territory Emergency Relief Act prohibits price gouging during a declared
05:04disaster, fines are in fact tripled for violations.
05:08Oh good, I thought you'd see reason.
05:14You know the law chapter and verse.
05:17Statute numbers always make people shake in their boots.
05:19Well done, Counselor.
05:22It's a good thing I share my office with, and yes, I'll say it again, the best lawyer
05:26in Hope Valley.
05:27You share an office with the only practicing lawyer in Hope Valley.
05:33You'll get my bill.
05:35I'm kidding.
05:37I am, though, going to need to find some place to live.
05:41I mean, I can't survive off of catnaps in your office forever.
05:44Care for a cup of tea?
05:46Keep us going?
05:47Oh, thank you.
05:49But I survived many a law school all nighter without tea.
05:53Really?
05:54Mm-hmm.
05:56How are those insurance claims coming?
06:02Oh, slowly.
06:03You know the game.
06:04Endless loops until folks eventually just give up on their claims.
06:08I'm helping them pro bono to wade through all the legal jargon and to document everything.
06:12Well, if there's anything I can do to help.
06:14Actually, I am hosting a legal clinic at the schoolhouse tomorrow night.
06:19I'm not sure if you're available.
06:21I would love to come.
06:22You would?
06:23If you think that I could contribute, yes.
06:26The governor showing up?
06:28Yes, I do think that that would put those insurance companies on notice.
06:32I'll do what I can to pressure them to streamline the claims process.
06:35Thank you, Lucas.
06:37That, um, that would really mean a lot.
06:42We are going to learn so much this year.
06:45We are going to study science.
06:47We'll explore ancient history.
06:50Uh, Rupert, is it?
06:52I did an in-depth study of ancient Rome with an emphasis on Julius Caesar.
06:56Well, that's fascinating.
06:58Et tu, Brute?
07:02You know, the famous quote?
07:04No one's really sure he said that.
07:06Nobody's really sure he didn't.
07:09Well, I built a scale model of the Roman Forum last year.
07:12But it, um, got lost in the fire.
07:17I am so sorry to hear that.
07:20It sounds very impressive.
07:25Um, why don't we turn our attention to reading groups?
07:28Have any of you already read Robinson Crusoe?
07:34Okay.
07:36Okay.
07:43Hi, Lee.
07:44Hey.
07:47Florence asked me to drop these napkins off for you.
07:49Thank you, Molly.
07:52Those flyers are everywhere.
07:54Do you know something?
07:57I don't know.
07:58Um, maybe it's nothing.
07:59But the day of the fire, I saw a man go into the park.
08:03He was carrying something.
08:10What?
08:11What was he carrying?
08:12Well, I can't be sure, but it looked like one of those cans that kerosene comes in.
08:17I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
08:19Hold on just a second, Molly.
08:20You saw someone walk into the park with fuel the day Benson Hills and the park burned down, and you don't want to speak up?
08:26I said I'm not sure.
08:28What if I'm wrong?
08:29I could never live with myself.
08:30You don't need to be sure.
08:32That is the Mounties job.
08:33All right?
08:34Let's go.
08:35Come on.
08:36Come on.
08:38And it can take thousands of bees to make one jar of honey.
08:45Now, who is excited to learn more about apiology?
08:53Okay.
08:58Why don't we try something?
09:00Hope Valley students, please find a seat next to one of your Benson Hills neighbors.
09:07Don't be shy.
09:08Let's go.
09:09Let's go.
09:11Thank you very much.
09:15Once you are settled, talk to your new seatmate and find out one fun thing about them.
09:22Go!
09:29Mrs. Thornton, she won't say anything.
09:32It's all right, Missy.
09:37Who can introduce us to their new neighbor?
09:40Opal!
09:41This is Gwendolyn, but she likes Gwen.
09:44She's carving on her desk.
09:48Oh, my.
09:50How about I hold onto that for you?
09:54Okay.
10:02Why did I ask you all to switch seats?
10:07To create community.
10:11Can any of you tell me what makes community?
10:14People!
10:15People!
10:16People!
10:17Yes!
10:18People work together to build community, and that's what we're trying to do here.
10:22So, Benson Hills students, how can we make you feel more at home here?
10:27I don't want to feel at home here.
10:29I don't want other people's blankets and shoes and sad faces.
10:35I just want everything to go back to normal.
10:38I don't like it here either.
10:40Me neither.
10:41I want to go home.
10:43Me too.
10:44Yeah.
10:47Of course you do.
10:49And it might just be too soon for you to feel at home here.
10:52But we can help you feel safe and welcome.
10:55And we'll work on that more tomorrow.
10:57Thank you, everyone.
11:06And I was bringing cookies to Jed at his farmhouse, so I rounded the hill and that's when I saw him.
11:12And you're sure it was a can of kerosene?
11:14I'm not sure.
11:15It looked like the shape of one.
11:17Kerosene, Nathan.
11:18Kerosene.
11:20Molly, did you see his face?
11:22All I could tell is he was older.
11:23White hair.
11:24A limp.
11:25Looked like a cowboy.
11:26That's McGinty.
11:27Come on.
11:28I really couldn't say for sure.
11:30I've barely seen the man, but maybe.
11:37Thank you, Molly.
11:38This has been very helpful.
11:43That was great.
11:46So, what are we still doing here?
11:48Let's go arrest the guy.
11:49Slow down, Lee.
11:51Molly could have been describing a dozen men around here.
11:53Oh, and she saw him.
11:54We all know.
11:55Lee, we can't arrest someone just because they might match a description.
11:59Or without hard evidence.
12:00And we're trying to build a case here, not rush to judgment.
12:03Look, I've charted a burn pattern.
12:05We'll check with some experts in Capital City.
12:06If it's consistent with an accelerant, we'll know if it's arson in a day or two.
12:10And if it is, I promise you, McGinty is at the top of our list.
12:13I'm right about this one.
12:15I am.
12:18You'll see.
12:32A few minutes for a civilian?
12:34I can take a break.
12:36How was your first day of school?
12:38Crowded.
12:40All those poor kids from Benson Hills.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Most of them are really nice.
12:46There's this one kid, Rupert.
12:49Rupert?
12:50What do you do?
12:51He acted like ancient Rome's biggest fan.
12:54I said this quote from Julius Caesar, and Rupert said it was historically inaccurate.
13:00Was Rupert there?
13:02Maybe he was a time machine.
13:03What's wrong with quoting Shakespeare?
13:05Wait, Julius Caesar was a real person and a...
13:08A play by William Shakespeare.
13:11He wrote it for the Globe Theatre in 1599 and...
13:15I'm boring you.
13:18You don't care about things like that.
13:22I gotta finish hanging these flyers.
13:27So tell me, how are you holding up?
13:30Well, at least we have Gwen to keep us busy.
13:33Actually, Gwen is why I stopped by. Is she here?
13:38She's upstairs.
13:40Is something wrong?
13:42I'm just delivering some contraband.
13:45What?
13:47This is my grandmother's wedding silver.
13:49Gwen was carving into her desk with it.
13:51She vandalized school property?
13:55With my family heirloom?
13:57It wasn't an easy first day.
14:00Maybe she would be happier with someone who understands her.
14:04Who better?
14:06You're both strong-willed.
14:09I mean that in a nice way.
14:11And you're one of the most loving people I know.
14:13Well, I'm gonna go talk to her.
14:17Right now.
14:18About fixing this.
14:19No, no, no.
14:20Not right now.
14:21Perhaps we just give her some space.
14:23She'll come round.
14:25You should get a fair price to get that debris cleared away.
14:28So let me know if there's a problem.
14:29And we'll see you at the Legal Clinic tomorrow night.
14:32Don't you worry, ladies.
14:33We are in good hands here.
14:38People are eager to see you there, Governor.
14:40Thank you for coming.
14:41I'm happy to help.
14:42Good.
14:43We need more emergency relief funds.
14:45Mayor Hickam, I can assure you,
14:46I am putting the screws to every single bureaucrat in Capital City.
14:48Well, find more screws.
14:54Am I interrupting?
14:55No, not at all.
14:57I'm off to find some screws.
15:01I thought you could use something other than cold coffee.
15:08I'm not hungry.
15:09Yeah, but since it's here.
15:13How are you doing?
15:15You've been camped out here for quite a while.
15:18The residents of Benson Hills need to know where to find me.
15:20And I'm glad you found a place to work.
15:23But you do need a place to stay.
15:26May and I just finished fixing up our apartment.
15:28We've got a beautiful guest room with fluffy, fluffy pillows.
15:32I don't care for fluff.
15:34And I can't just disappear, not even for a night.
15:37People will think that I've given up.
15:39Amazing. No one's going to think that.
15:41You're working yourself into the ground here.
15:45All people want to do is go home and see what's left.
15:47And I can't even do that for them.
15:51I bet the Canfields would let us borrow their truck.
15:54And May would be happy to organize salvage trips to Benson Hills.
15:58We could take a family at a time.
16:00Well, I suppose that might give them some peace.
16:03You've been watching over me and everyone since before I could tie my shoes.
16:08Why don't you let me watch over you?
16:12Take the afternoon. Go check on your own place.
16:17My job is here now.
16:27Evening, ma'am.
16:28I wasn't expecting your company.
16:30Well, I still can't stay for dinner.
16:33I have a few minutes before I have to be back.
16:35Does that mean you have a lead?
16:38We're zeroing in on one. Yeah.
16:43You okay?
16:45It's just the idea that somebody could start a fire like that deliberately.
16:49I guess this is one time I hope you're wrong.
16:52How was your first day of school?
16:54It was challenging.
16:55I prepared all of these plans and activities and all of them fell flat.
17:01It's not your average first day.
17:05Oh, would you look at that.
17:07A ball and some grass and that fire feels a million miles away.
17:13At least for a few moments.
17:16Yeah, I guess we could all use a little bit of that right now.
17:19Mm-hmm.
17:26Okay, there you go.
17:33The snake himself.
17:35Molly, it's Lee. The man from the park just walked in. I need to come down here and make sure it's him.
17:43Oh, and put me through the jail first, please.
17:45Come on, come on, come on. Pick up, pick up, pick up.
17:49Oliver, it's Lee. The man from the park just walked in. I need to come down here and make sure it's him.
17:53Oh, and put me through the jail first, please. Come on, come on, come on. Pick up, pick up, pick up.
18:00Oliver, it's Lee. Is Nathan there?
18:03Look, the second he gets in, you make sure he comes down to the saloon to see me, all right?
18:08Okay, bye.
18:10Okay, bye.
18:16Okay, down.
18:17One, two, three.
18:25This finally feels like home.
18:27We did it.
18:31Maisie would love what we've done here.
18:33I just don't understand why she doesn't want to stay with us.
18:35You know, she's always been this difficult.
18:40When I was eight, I was so excited to set up a lemonade stand,
18:44but she told me I was doing it all wrong.
18:46So she set up one right next door to show me how it's done.
18:51She was 26.
18:57Maybe...
18:58It's a blessing that Maisie doesn't want to stay with us.
19:05She's my sister. You don't have to worry about this.
19:09Yes, I do. We're in this mess together.
19:12That's what families do.
19:13Some families.
19:15Maisie doesn't really handle change well.
19:18She's not some wild woman like you.
19:25Scooching sofas willy-nilly.
19:30And...
19:32Thanks again for agreeing to run the salvage trips.
19:36That's for Maisie.
19:37Molly.
19:45You're three o'clock.
19:47Is that the man from the park?
19:49I...
19:51I think it's him.
19:52But I was clear across the road.
19:54He's leaving.
19:56Can't wait for Nathan. I'm gonna go in.
19:58Hold it right there, McGinty.
20:01For you, Barkey.
20:03Your beer is flat, by the way.
20:04Is it really?
20:06You know...
20:08Someone saw you walk into the forest with a can of kerosene the same day the fire started.
20:15That's a big accusation.
20:18Mm-hmm.
20:19Your trees go up in smoke and suddenly it's the old guy who's got nothing to lose.
20:23Oh, come on. You hated the park from day one.
20:25Doesn't mean I'd burn it down.
20:27Though turning perfectly good land over to tourists is almost the same thing, Mr. Colt.
20:34It's Mayor Colter. Don't forget that.
20:37And as if you'd understand anything about leaving something for the next generation.
20:40You mean for your drooling toddler?
20:43Oh!
20:45Oh!
20:47Hey, Lee!
20:49If you saw it, that man attacked me.
20:52I want him arrested.
20:54Or is the mayor above the law?
20:56Come on, Nathan. He was running his mouth and then he walked into me.
20:58I didn't do anything. If you saw it, then...
20:59Okay, all right. I thought out of both of you.
21:01Lee!
21:03I don't have a choice. You have to come with me.
21:05Fine.
21:09Oh!
21:11Oh!
21:12Oh!
21:14Oh!
21:21Well, would you feel safer if I put him in the cuffs?
21:25Possibly. I hear he has a mean right hook.
21:29Very funny, you two. I was just standing my ground, that's all.
21:32Yeah.
21:33I know what you're gonna say. Lee Colter, what were you thinking?
21:48Yes, I was gonna say that. Thank you for saving me the trouble.
21:50I just... I saw that smug face and I...
21:59All those years of work on the park just...
22:03Up in smoke.
22:05You're angry.
22:06I am so angry.
22:07I'm angry too.
22:09But when I look at those poor folks from Benson Hills...
22:13Lee, they've lost everything.
22:15We have to count our blessings.
22:16Can't let him get away with it. McGinty has to pay.
22:21The investigation is not over.
22:24But...
22:26What if no one's at fault?
22:28What then?
22:29Buyers don't just start.
22:31We don't know anything.
22:34But here's what I do know.
22:37We will get past this.
22:39And rebuild.
22:41You know why?
22:42Because you, Lee Colter, can do anything you put your mind to.
22:48How did I get so lucky to have you in my life, huh?
22:55Says the guy in the slammer.
22:57Yeah. That's me.
22:58That's me.
23:01All right.
23:04This incident with McGinty.
23:06What time did it happen exactly?
23:08And were there any witnesses?
23:10Am I talking to my wife or a reporter?
23:13You're married to both, sweetheart.
23:15So?
23:18No comment.
23:28Good morning, Oliver.
23:29Oh, Mrs. Thornton.
23:30I, uh...
23:31It's nice to see you in here so early.
23:33You're very focused.
23:34What are you reading?
23:35Oh, it's, uh...
23:37Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
23:39I hope Ali really seems to be having a run on Julius Caesar this week.
23:43Well, Ali wanted to talk to me about it, but...
23:46I've never even heard of this before.
23:48Ah. I see.
23:51Why don't we start with something a bit more manageable?
23:56Ah-ha!
24:01Leaves of grass?
24:02Mm-hmm.
24:03It's more contemporary.
24:05Mr. Whitman finds the poetry in the everyday.
24:09It's just plain language, but he lifts it up.
24:14I'm still not sure I'm the poetry type.
24:17What exactly is the poetry type?
24:21I'll tell you what.
24:22Why don't we meet at the schoolhouse one morning a week?
24:24And we can have our own little poetry study group.
24:28You'd do that?
24:29Of course!
24:30We'll have you working up to Shakespeare in no time.
24:33Therefore, our everlasting farewell take.
24:38Forever and forever.
24:41Farewell.
24:43Farewell.
24:44I'm starting to get the hang of this.
24:46Thanks, Mrs. Thornton.

28:07Lee!
28:16Hi, sweetheart.
28:17Aw.
28:18Hi.
28:19I made your favorite brownies fresh from the oven.
28:25I'll get you some milk.
28:26Oh, no, sweetheart.
28:27It's very nice of you.
28:28I appreciate it, but I just...
28:31I could use a couple minutes by myself.
28:34You didn't have enough minutes in jail?
28:36It's very funny.
28:38Bye, sweetheart.
28:44Sometimes daddies need a little time to reflect.
28:47Gwen!
28:49How was school?
28:51We went outside.
28:53I liked it.
28:55What did you do outside?
28:57I know.
28:59Would you like to have one of these brownies?
29:03Well, uh...
29:05My dad makes us brownies.
29:09Well, I'm sure his are much better than mine.
29:13But...
29:15They are pretty good.
29:18Actually, on second thought,
29:21would you mind taking this to the backyard to Mr. Coulter?
29:24I think he'd appreciate it.
29:44Hey.
29:45Oh, is that for me?
29:50That's very nice of you.
29:56Would you like to sit down?
30:01Hm.
30:03I heard you shoved a guy.
30:04I lost my temper.
30:11It was the wrong thing to do.
30:13Unless he had it coming.
30:15Yes.
30:16Yes.
30:17But...
30:19Didn't swallow anything.
30:21Is that a rose?
30:22This is what we woodworkers refer to as a rosette.
30:25My first one looked like a squash toad.
30:27Would you like to give it a try?
30:28Sure.
30:29Okay.
30:30There you go.
30:31Now, this is very sharp, so be careful.
30:34Okay?
30:35Oh, no!
30:36No!
30:37No!
30:38No!
30:39No!
30:40No!
30:41No!
30:42No!
30:43No!
30:44No!
30:45No!
30:46No!
30:47No!
30:48No!
30:49No!
30:50No!
30:51No!
30:52Just kidding.
30:53Just kidding.
30:54Just kidding.
30:55Just like this?
30:56Yeah, just like that.
30:57Good job.
30:58Thanks.
31:04Here we are.
31:05Now both to fill a pantry for a few more days.
31:08Oh, and I tucks some tea in there, too.
31:10Thank you, Governor.
31:11And thank you for coming to tonight's meeting.
31:13You know that insurance company is denying my claim
31:16because a part of my porch is still standing?
31:18Their games are gonna come to an end.
31:20I promise you that.
31:24Governor!
31:25I've got some news you're going to like.
31:28Perfect timing.
31:29Here.
31:30Nope.
31:31You pass that to Mr. Hanley, please.
31:37Where is a photographer when you need one?
31:39This would be a perfect photo op.
31:41That's exactly why I don't have one.
31:44There.
31:45Anyway.
31:46Benjamin Camberwell.
31:47Tonight.
31:48Dinner.
31:49He's gonna be in town.
31:50What's he doing in Hope Valley?
31:51Does he have a railroad to run?
31:53I persuaded him to make a detour.
31:55He's overseeing the National Railway Unification.
31:58And if you back his project, he will back you with a sizable donation.
32:03And, more importantly, his endorsement.
32:06Unfortunately, I'm spoken for tonight.
32:08Ms. Martell and I will be meeting with fire victims, hearing their issues with insurance claims.
32:13Ms. Martell.
32:14Uh, well, just go to dinner long enough to shake Camberwell's hand and whisper a few sweet nothings.
32:21Camberwell's employees are striking.
32:23Is it really a good idea for me to align myself with him when he's in the middle of a labor dispute?
32:28All the more reason to meet with him.
32:31Advocate for the workers.
32:32Turn them around.
32:33Kill two birds with one dinner.
32:37Dinner.
32:38Not dessert.
32:45May I come in?
32:46To your office?
32:48How was the trip to the burn sites?
32:50Well, folks found a silver dollar collection, a wedding ring, pots and pans, and some goats, which was a miracle.
32:59The residents of Benson Hills appreciate your help.
33:03And I stopped at your house, too.
33:06Oh?
33:07I know you didn't ask me to, but I found something that you might want to have.
33:16Where your mantle used to be.
33:19A photograph of Mikey.
33:23Baby Mikey.
33:24You kept a picture of baby Mike?
33:28Uh, mother and father wanted a boy so terribly.
33:33And five girls in a row.
33:35But they kept trying.
33:37When Michael came along, it was like the sun rising.
33:41Mother even hired a photographer.
33:43Mother even hired a photographer.
33:44Well, these photos are all up here now, I suppose.
33:52I'm so sorry.
33:53Don't be.
33:54I'm not that sentimental guy.
33:55Nothing wrong if you are.
33:57When I married Mike, I didn't just get a husband.
34:01I got five sisters.
34:03You can lean on us.
34:05I'm fine.
34:06Really.
34:07I'm just, um, I'm just, I'm tired.
34:12Stay with us.
34:14Please.
34:15One sister to another.
34:16Oliver!
34:17Hi, Little Jack.
34:18Want some?
34:19Sure.
34:20Hi, Hello, um, we're heading to the Canfields for dinner.
34:26Oliver!
34:31Hi, Little Jack.
34:35Want some?
34:36Sure.
34:42Hi.
34:43Um, we're heading to the Canfields for dinner.
34:47I bet they wouldn't mind one more at the table.
34:50I don't want to impose.
34:51They would love your company.
34:53I would too.
34:55Well, I wouldn't turn down a home-cooked meal.
34:59And good conversation.
35:05Good job, buddy.
35:09True eloquence lies in that plain, easy, spontaneous conversation
35:13I sometimes have with one or two people.
35:16What's that from?
35:17This book Mrs. Thornton gave me, Leaves of Grass.
35:20It's pretty good.
35:21You're reading Walt Whitman?
35:23What can I say?
35:25I contain multitudes.
35:33How was the rest of your afternoon?
35:35Rosemary says that was convinced McGinty started the fire.
35:39How do you feel?
35:41Let's just say that we have a witness that may have seen something.
35:45But not a solid lead yet.
35:47Luckily for Lee, McGinty's not pressing charges.
35:49That's a relief.
35:51Lee, he's not only my friend, but he's a pillar of the community.
35:57Treating him like a criminal, it just feels wrong.
36:01I'm sure he'd rather take responsibility than have you compromise what's right.
36:05He respects that in you.
36:09This case is testing me.
36:15Ali and little Jack are having dinner with the Canfields.
36:17How about a break?
36:19This is exactly what I needed.
36:25Me too.
36:27It's been one thing after another since the fire.
36:29You've been so busy keeping everybody up on their feet.
36:31Never had a minute's rest.
36:33Neither have you.
36:35My students are overwhelmed.
36:37Everyone's overwhelmed.
36:39Well, what would you tell them then?
36:41I would tell them to stop.
36:45And take a breath.
36:51That does feel better.
36:55Of course that field day today didn't hurt either.
36:59It's too bad there's no field day for grown-ups.
37:03Yeah, that's too bad.
37:05You mean that?
37:09Why?
37:11Close your eyes and count to ten.
37:13What?
37:14Hide and seek.
37:15Start counting.
37:20One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
37:36You're supposed to hide.
37:38I know.
37:41I thought I'd just skip to the being found part.
37:44Yeah.
37:47It's my favorite part anyways.
37:49Well, of course, when we rebuild Benson Hills in record time under Governor Bouchard's guidance, we can find a building or two to put your name on.
38:10Camberwell Hospital.
38:11It's a nice ring to it.
38:12Mr. Camberwell.
38:13I've been putting some thought into the demands of your workers.
38:14If you'll excuse me.
38:15I have a call to make.
38:16Sure.
38:17Take it easy, Governor.
38:18I'm not here to be easy, Edwin.
38:19Hmm.
38:20I cannot stall anymore.
38:21Looks like the governor talks a good game.
38:22I hope that's not true.
38:23I hope that's not true.
38:24Hmm.
38:26Hmm.
38:27Hmm.
