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.
04:17Good morning, Mike.
04:18Good morning, Mr. Connel.
04:20Do we have lots of museums in the shop?
04:21I'll have today and talk before you leave,
04:23just came to them here.
04:24There wasn't Miles I would which have
04:24old aunty built in all of us.
04:25All right.
04:26Thank you,Hisda.
04:27Come on.
04:28Good night.
04:28Thank you,EM.
04:30Good night.
04:31Mr. Connell, the folks of Benson Hill Street
04:38a great week, can tell thee,
04:40that friend.
04:41Thank you from the ноч dared
04:42you're succeeding here to meet.
04:45Yeah, there you're fiber-ажд 그리ê³
04:46have nothing left but chimneys and rubble,
04:49and you want to charge them double to haul it away.
04:52Well, unless the price of business is doubled overnight,
04:55you're exploiting people during their worst hour.
04:58Section 27 of the Territory Emergency Relief Act
05:01prohibits price gouging during a declared disaster,
05:04fines are, in fact, tripled for violations.
05:08Oh, good. I thought you'd see reason.
05:13You know the law chapter and verse.
05:15Hmm. Statute numbers always make people shake in their boots.
05:19Well done, counselor.
05:21It's a good thing I share my office with,
05:24and yes, I'll say it again, the best lawyer in Hope Valley.
05:27You share an office with the only practicing lawyer in Hope Valley.
05:31You'll get my bill.
05:34I'm kidding.
05:36I am, though, going to need to find some place to live.
05:40I mean, I can't survive off of catnaps in your office forever.
05:44Care for a cup of tea? Keep us going?
05:47Oh, thank you.
05:48But I survived many a law school all-nighter without tea.
05:53Really?
05:54Mm-hmm.
05:55How are those insurance claims coming?
06:01Oh, 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
06:11and to document everything.
06:12Well, if there's anything I can do to help.
06:15Actually, I am hosting a legal clinic at the schoolhouse tomorrow night.
06:20I'm not sure if you're available.
06:22I would love to come.
06:23You would?
06:24If you think that I could contribute, yes.
06:27The governor showing up?
06:29Yes, I do think that that would put those insurance companies on notice.
06:33I'll do what I can to pressure them to streamline the claims process.
06:36Thank you, Lucas.
06:37That, um, that would really mean a lot.
06:42We are going to learn so much this year.
06:46We are going to study science.
06:48We'll explore ancient history.
06:51Uh, Rupert, is it?
06:53I did an in-depth study of ancient Rome with an emphasis on Julius Caesar.
06:56Well, that's fascinating.
06:58Et tu, Brute?
07:01You know, the famous quote?
07:05No one's really sure he said that.
07:07Nobody's really sure he didn't.
07:09Well, I built a scale model of the Roman Forum last year, but it, um, got lost in the fire.
07:17I am so sorry to hear that.
07:20It sounds very impressive.
07:23Um, why don't we turn our attention to reading groups?
07:29Have any of you already read Robinson Crusoe?
07:37Okay.
07:43Hi, Lee.
07:44Hey.
07:47Florence asked me to drop these napkins off for you.
07:50Thank you, Molly.
07:53Those flyers are everywhere.
07:56Do you know something?
07:57I don't know.
07:59Um, maybe it's nothing.
08:00But, but the day of the fire, I saw a man go into the park.
08:03He was carrying something.
08:11What?
08:12What was he carrying?
08:13Well, I can't be sure, but it looked like one of those cans that kerosene comes in.
08:19I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
08:20Hold on just a second, Molly.
08:22I 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?
08:27I 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.
08:37And it can take thousands of bees to make one jar of honey.
08:45Now, who is excited to learn more about apiology?
08:50Okay.
08:51Why don't we try something?
09:00Hope Valley students, please find a seat next to one of your Benson Hills neighbors.
09:06Don't be shy.
09:08Let's go.
09:09Let's go.
09:10Thank you very much.
09:12Once you are settled, talk to your new seatmate.
09:19and find out one fun thing about them.
09:23Go!
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.
09:47Oh, my.
09:49How about I hold on to that for you?
09:54Okay.
09:59Why did I ask you all to switch seats?
10:05To create community.
10:10Can any of you tell me what makes community?
10:15People!
10:16People, yes.
10:17People 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.
10:36I 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.
10:44Me too.
10:45Yeah.
10:46Of course you do.
10:49And it might just be too soon for you to feel at home here, but we can help you feel
10:54safe and welcome, and we'll work on that more tomorrow.
11:02Thank you, everyone.
11:08And I was bringing cookies to Jed at his farmhouse, so I rounded the hill and that's
11:12when I saw him.
11:13And you're sure it was a can of kerosene?
11:15I'm not sure.
11:16It looked like the shape of one.
11:18Kerosene, Nathan.
11:19Kerosene.
11:20Molly, did you see his face?
11:22All I could tell is he was older.
11:24White hair.
11:25A limp.
11:26Looked like a cowboy.
11:27That's McGinty.
11:28Come on!
11:29I really couldn't say for sure.
11:31I've barely seen the man, but maybe.
11:37Thank you, Molly.
11:38This has been very helpful.
11:40Okay.
11:44That was good.
11:45Great.
11:47So?
11:48What are we still doing here?
11:49Let's go arrest the guy.
11:50Slow down, Lee.
11:51Molly could have been describing a dozen men around here.
11:54Come on.
11:55She saw him.
11:56We all know.
11:57Lee, we can't arrest someone just because they might match a description.
12:00Or without hard evidence.
12:01And 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.
12:07If 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.
12:14I'm right about this one.
12:15I am.
12:16I am.
12:19You'll see.
12:33A few minutes for a civilian?
12:35I can take a break.
12:36How was your first day of school?
12:38Crowded.
12:39Crowded.
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.
13:04And what's wrong with quoting Shakespeare?
13:06Wait.
13:07Julius Caesar was a real person and a...
13:09A play by William Shakespeare.
13:11He wrote it for the Globe Theatre in 1599 and...
13:16I'm boring you.
13:19You don't care about things like that.
13:23I gotta finish hanging these flyers.
13:28So tell me, how are you holding up?
13:31Well, at least we have Gwen to keep us busy.
13:35Actually, Gwen is why I stopped by.
13:37Is she here?
13:39She's upstairs.
13:40Is something wrong?
13:43I'm just delivering some contraband.
13:46What?
13:47This is my grandmother's wedding silver.
13:50Gwen was carving into her desk with it.
13:53She vandalized school properly?
13:56With my family heirloom?
13:58It wasn't an easy first day.
14:00Maybe she would be happier with someone who understands her.
14:05Who better?
14:07You're both strong-willed.
14:09I mean that in a nice way.
14:11And you're one of the most loving people I know.
14:15Well, 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.
14:24She'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.
14:39People are eager to see you there, Governor.
14:41Thank you for coming.
14:42I'm happy to help.
14:43Good.
14:44We need more emergency relief funds.
14:45Mayor Hickam, I can assure you I am putting the screws to every single bureaucrat in Capital City.
14:49Well, find more screws.
14:54Am I interrupting?
14:56No, not at all.
14:58I'm off to find some screws.
15:05Thought you could use something other than cold coffee.
15:08I'm not hungry.
15:09Yeah, but since it's here.
15:14How are you doing?
15:16You've been camped out here for quite a while.
15:18The residents of Benson Hills need to know where to find me.
15:21And I'm glad you found a place to work.
15:24But 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.
15:35And I can't just disappear, not even for a night.
15:38People will think that I've given up.
15:39Amazing.
15:40No one's going to think that.
15:42You're working yourself into the ground here.
15:46All people want to do is go home and see what's left.
15:49And I can't even do that for them.
15:52I bet the Canfields would let us borrow their truck.
15:55And May would be happy to organize salvage trips to Benson Hills.
15:59We could take a family at a time.
16:01Well, I suppose that might give them some peace.
16:03You've been watching over me and everyone since before I could tie my shoes.
16:10Why don't you let me watch over you?
16:13Take the afternoon. Go check on your own place.
16:18My job is here now.
16:28Evening, ma'am.
16:29I wasn't expecting your company.
16:31Well, I still can't stay for dinner.
16:33I'll have a few minutes before I have to be back.
16:36Does that mean you have a lead?
16:39We're zeroing in on one, yeah.
16:44You okay?
16:46It's just the idea that somebody could start a fire like that deliberately.
16:50I guess this is one time I hope you're wrong.
16:53How was your first day of school?
16:55It was challenging.
16:57I prepared all of these plans and activities and all of them fell flat.
17:02It's not your average first day.
17:06Oh, would you look at that.
17:08A ball and some grass and that fire feels a million miles away.
17:13At least for a few moments.
17:17Yeah, I guess we could all use a little bit of that right now.
17:19Mm-hmm.
17:29Okay, there you go.
17:35The snake himself.
17:50Molly, it's Lee.
17:52The man from the park just walked in.
17:54I need to come down here and make sure it's him.
17:56Oh, and put me through the jail first, please.
17:59Come on, come on, come on. Pick up, pick up, pick up.
18:02Oliver, it's Lee. Is Nathan there?
18:05Look, the second he gets in, you make sure he comes down to the saloon to see me, alright?
18:10Okay, bye.
18:16Okay, down.
18:18One, two, three.
18:19Oh!
18:25This finally feels like home.
18:27We did it.
18:31Maisie would love what we've done here.
18:34I just don't understand why she doesn't want to stay with us.
18:36You 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.
18:47So she set up one right next door to show me how it's done.
18:51She was 26.
18:58Maybe...
19:02It's a blessing that Maisie doesn't want to stay with us.
19:06She's my sister. You don't have to worry about this.
19:09Yes, I do.
19:11We're in this mess together.
19:12That's what families do.
19:14Some families.
19:16Maisie doesn't really handle change well.
19:23She's not some wild woman like you.
19:26Scooching sofas willy-nilly.
19:28And...
19:29Thanks again for agreeing to run the salvage trips.
19:35That's for Maisie.
19:37It's for Maisie.
19:45Molly.
19:47You're three o'clock.
19:49Is that the man from the park?
19:51I... I think it's him.
19:53But I was clear across the road.
19:55He's leaving.
19:57Can't wait for Nathan. I'm gonna go in.
19:59Hold it right there, McGinty.
20:02For you, Barkeep.
20:04Your beer is flat, by the way.
20:06Is it really?
20:08You know, someone 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.
20:24Oh, come on. You hated the park from day one.
20:26Doesn't mean I'd burn it down.
20:28Though, turning perfectly good land over to tourists is almost the same thing, Mr. Coulter.
20:35It's Mayor Coulter. Don't forget that.
20:38And as if you'd understand anything about leaving something for the next generation.
20:41You mean, for your drooling toddler?
20:44Oh!
20:46Oh!
20:47Oh!
20:48Hey, Lee!
20:50If you saw it, that man attacked me.
20:52I-I 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.
20:59Okay, all right. I'm not out of both of you.
21:02Lee.
21:04I don't have a choice. You have to come with me.
21:06Fine.
21:11Oh.
21:12Oh.
21:13Well, would you feel safer if I put him in the cuffs?
21:26Possibly. I hear he has a mean right hook.
21:29Ha-ha. Very funny, you two. I was just standing my ground, that's all.
21:33Yeah.
21:34I know what you're gonna say. Lee Coulter, what were you thinking?
21:48Yes, I was gonna say that. Thank you for saving me the trouble.
21:52I just... I saw that smug face and I...
21:59All those years of work on the park just...
22:03Up in smoke.
22:04You're angry.
22:06I am so angry.
22:08I'm angry too.
22:10But when I look at those poor folks from Benson Hills...
22:14Lee, they've lost everything.
22:16We have to count our blessings.
22:19Can't let them get away with it.
22:20McGinty has to pay.
22:22The investigation is not over.
22:24But...
22:26What if no one's at fault?
22:28What then?
22:29Buyers don't just start.
22:30We don't know anything.
22:34But here's what I do know.
22:37We will get past this.
22:40And rebuild.
22:41And you know why?
22:43Because you, Lee Coulter...
22:46Can do anything you put your mind to.
22:49How did I get so lucky to have you in my life, huh?
22:55This is the guy in the slammer.
22:57Yeah.
22:59That'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.
23:15Hmm.
23:16So?
23:18No comment.
23:19No comment.
23:29Good morning, Oliver.
23:30Oh, Mrs. Thornton.
23:31I, uh...
23:32It's nice to see you in here so early.
23:34You're very focused.
23:35What are you reading?
23:36Oh, it's, uh...
23:38Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
23:40I hope Ali really seems to be having a run on Julius Caesar this week.
23:44Well, Ali wanted to talk to me about it, but...
23:46I've never even heard of this before.
23:48Ah.
23:49I see.
23:51Why don't we start with something a bit more manageable?
23:58Aha!
24:02Leaves of grass?
24:03Mm-hmm.
24:04It's more contemporary.
24:06Mr. Whitman finds the poetry in the everyday.
24:09It's just plain language, but he lifts it up.
24:15I'm still not sure I'm the poetry type.
24:18What exactly is the poetry type?
24:22I'll tell you what.
24:23Why don't we meet at the schoolhouse one morning a week?
24:26And we can have our own little poetry study group.
24:29You'd do that?
24:30Of course!
24:31We'll have you working up to Shakespeare in no time.
24:32Therefore, our everlasting farewell take forever and forever farewell.
24:42Farewell.
24:44I'm sorry to get the hang of this.
24:46Thanks, Mrs. Thornton.
24:47Hello, everyone.
24:48Welcome.
24:49Good morning.
24:50Good morning.
24:51Gather round.
24:52Today is the greatest field day in Hope Valley history.
25:09And you can thank Mountie Nathan and Little Jack for this incredible obstacle course.
25:13Our pleasure.
25:15Our pleasure.
25:16Our pleasure.
25:17All right, everyone.
25:18Team up with someone who you just met yesterday and form two lines right over there.
25:23You can leave your bags here.
25:25Let's go, little man.
25:27Come on, partner.
25:32All right.
25:33Just follow our lead.
25:35Ready, set, let the games begin.
25:39Oh, go, go, go, go.
25:41Oh, go!
25:42Yeah!
25:43They're beating us!
25:47Good job!
25:48Yeah!
25:49Yeah!
25:50Yeah!
25:51Yeah!
25:52Go!
25:53I'm good!
25:54Yeah!
25:55Yeah!
25:56Yeah!
25:58Yeah!
25:59Yeah!
26:00Yeah!
26:02Yeah!
26:03Yeah!
26:05Yeah!
26:06She did it!
26:13Oh, my goodness!
26:18All right!
26:23She did it!
26:26Oh, my goodness!
26:29All right!
26:34Well, it is time for our guest referee to get going.
26:38Can we all say thank you, Mountie Nathan?
26:41Thank you, Mountie Nathan!
26:44You're welcome, kids. Great job out there.
26:47Cooper, Toby, will you join us, please?
26:58So, yesterday we talked about what makes a community.
27:04Now, if we had to pick one word that described what makes a community, what would it be?
27:12Trust?
27:14Trust. I like that.
27:17We learned how to trust one another.
27:20Now that we have one another's trust, we aren't alone.
27:26All right, everyone. Let's head inside and clean up.
27:30Boys, may I have a moment?
27:34You seemed awful quiet today.
27:39We're sorry if you weren't good community members today, Mrs. Thorne.
27:42No, no. You don't have to apologize.
27:45What you've been through, it must have been very scary.
27:49It's worse for other people.
27:53Well, I'm always here if you need to talk.
27:57Anytime.
27:59Thanks, Mrs. Thanks.
28:16Lee!
28:17Hi, sweetheart.
28:18Aw!
28:19Hi.
28:20I made your favorite brownies fresh from the oven.
28:26I'll get you some milk.
28:27Oh, no, sweetheart.
28:28It's very nice of you.
28:29I appreciate it.
28:30But I just...
28:32I could use a couple minutes by myself.
28:34You didn't have enough minutes in jail?
28:37It's very funny.
28:39Bye, sweetheart.
28:44Sometimes daddies need a little time to reflect.
28:48Gwen!
28:49How was school?
28:51We went outside.
28:53I liked it.
28:55What did you do outside?
28:56I know.
28:57Would you like to have one of these brownies?
29:03Well, uh...
29:06My dad makes us brownies.
29:09Oh, well, I'm sure his are much better than mine.
29:13But they are pretty good.
29:17Actually, on second thought, would you mind taking this to the backyard to Mr. Coulter?
29:24I think he'd appreciate it.
29:26Hey.
29:27Oh.
29:28Is that for me?
29:30Very nice of you.
29:31Would you like to sit down?
29:32Would you like to sit down?
29:33Oh.
29:34Oh.
29:35Is that for me?
29:37Very nice of you.
29:38Would you like to sit down?
29:43I heard you shoved a guy.
29:44I lost my temper.
29:45It was the wrong thing to do.
29:46I've lost my temper.
29:47It was the wrong thing to do.
29:49I can't see how I'm going to eat.
29:51I don't have to sit down.
29:52I've got to sit down.
29:54Would you like to sit down?
30:01I heard you shoved a guy.
30:11I lost my temper.
30:12It was the wrong thing to do.
30:15Unless he had it coming.
30:18Yes, yes.
30:20But
30:21didn't swallow anything.
30:27Is that a rose?
30:30This
30:30is what we woodworkers refer to
30:32as a rosette.
30:34My first one
30:35looked like a squash toad.
30:40Would you like to give it a try?
30:42Sure.
30:42Okay.
30:43There you go.
30:45Now, this is very sharp,
30:48so be careful, okay?
30:49Oh, no!
30:52I'm just kidding.
30:55Like this?
30:56Yeah, just like that.
30:58Here we are.
31:06Now votes to fill a pantry
31:07for a few more days.
31:08Oh, and I tucks some tea
31:09in there, too.
31:09Thank you, Governor.
31:11And thank you for coming
31:12to tonight's meeting.
31:14You know that insurance company
31:15is denying my claim
31:16because a part of my porch
31:17is still standing?
31:19Their games are going to come
31:19to an end.
31:20I promise you that.
31:24Governor!
31:25I've got some news
31:26you're going to like.
31:28Perfect timing.
31:29Here.
31:30No!
31:30You pass that
31:31to Mr. Hanley, please.
31:37Where is a photographer
31:38when you need one?
31:39This would be
31:40a perfect photo op.
31:41That's exactly why
31:42I don't have one.
31:44Yeah.
31:45Anyway,
31:46Benjamin Camberwell.
31:48Tonight, dinner.
31:49He's going to be in town.
31:51What's he doing in Hope Valley?
31:52Does he have a railroad to run?
31:53I persuaded him
31:54to make a detour.
31:56He's overseeing
31:57the National Railway Unification,
31:58and if you back his project,
32:01he will back you
32:02with a sizable donation
32:03and, more importantly,
32:05his endorsement.
32:07Fortunately,
32:08I'm spoken for tonight.
32:09Ms. Martell and I
32:10will be meeting
32:11with fire victims
32:12hearing their issues
32:13with insurance claims.
32:15Ms. Martell.
32:17Well, just go to dinner
32:19long enough
32:19to shake Camberwell's hand
32:20and whisper
32:21a few sweet nothings.
32:22Camberwell's employees
32:23are striking.
32:24Is it really a good idea
32:25for me to align myself
32:27with him when he's
32:27in the middle of a labor
32:28dispute?
32:29All the more reason
32:30to meet with him.
32:32Advocate for the workers.
32:33Turn them around.
32:34Kill two birds
32:35with one dinner.
32:38Dinner, not dessert.
32:46May I come in
32:47to your office?
32:49How was the trip
32:49to the burn sites?
32:50Well, folks found
32:51a silver dollar collection,
32:53a wedding ring,
32:54pots and pans,
32:55and some goats,
32:57which was a miracle.
32:59The residents of Benson Hills
33:01appreciate your help.
33:03And I stopped
33:04at your house, too.
33:06Oh?
33:08I know you didn't ask me to,
33:09but I found something
33:11that you might want to have.
33:16Where your mantle used to be.
33:17a photograph of Mikey.
33:23A photograph of Mikey.
33:24Baby Mikey.
33:26You kept a picture
33:28of baby Mike?
33:30Mother and father
33:31wanted a boy
33:32so terribly.
33:33And five girls in a row.
33:35But they kept trying.
33:38When Michael came along,
33:40it was like the sun rising.
33:43Mother even hired
33:44the photographer.
33:47Well, these photos
33:48are all up here now,
33:49I suppose.
33:52I'm so sorry.
33:53Don't be.
33:54I'm not that
33:55sentimental type.
33:57Nothing wrong
33:57if you are.
33:59When I married Mike,
34:00I didn't just get a husband.
34:02I got five sisters.
34:05You can lean on us.
34:09I'm fine.
34:10Really.
34:11I'm just, um,
34:12I'm just,
34:13I'm tired.
34:14Stay with us.
34:19Please.
34:22One sister to another.
34:31Oliver!
34:34Hi, little Jack.
34:36Want some?
34:37Sure.
34:37We're heading to the Canfields
34:47for dinner.
34:48I bet they wouldn't
34:49mind one more
34:49at the table.
34:51I don't want to impose.
34:52They would love
34:53your company.
34:55I would too.
34:57Well,
34:57I wouldn't turn down
34:58a home-cooked meal.
35:00And good conversation.
35:01Good job, buddy.
35:09True eloquence lies in that
35:11plain, easy,
35:12spontaneous conversation
35:13I sometimes have
35:14with one or two people.
35:16What's that from?
35:18This book Mrs. Thornton gave me.
35:19Leaves of Grass.
35:20It's pretty good.
35:21You're reading Walt Whitman?
35:24What can I say?
35:25I contain multitudes.
35:34How was the rest
35:34of your afternoon?
35:36Rosemary says that
35:37Liz convinced
35:38McGinty started the fire.
35:40How do you feel?
35:40Let's just say
35:42that we have a witness
35:44that may have
35:45seen something
35:45but not a solid lead yet.
35:48Luckily for Lee,
35:49McGinty's not
35:50pressing charges.
35:51That's a relief.
35:53Lee,
35:53he's not only my friend
35:55but he's a pillar
35:56of the community.
35:58Treating him
35:58like a criminal
35:58it just
35:59feels wrong.
36:01I'm sure he'd rather
36:02take responsibility
36:03than have you
36:04compromise what's right.
36:06He respects that
36:07in you.
36:07This case
36:10is testing me.
36:15Allie and little Jack
36:16are having dinner
36:17with the Canfields.
36:18How about a break?
36:23This is exactly
36:24what I needed.
36:25Me too.
36:27It's been one thing
36:27after another
36:28since the fire.
36:30You've been so busy
36:31keeping everybody
36:31up on their feet.
36:32Never had a minute's rest.
36:33Neither have you.
36:35My students
36:35are overwhelmed.
36:37Everyone's overwhelmed.
36:39Well,
36:39what would you
36:39tell them then?
36:43I would tell them
36:44to stop
36:45and take a breath.
36:54That does feel better.
36:57Of course,
36:58that field day
36:58today didn't hurt
36:59either.
37:01It's too bad
37:01there's no field day
37:02for grown-ups.
37:03Yeah.
37:04That's too bad.
37:08You mean that?
37:10Why?
37:11Close your eyes
37:12and count to ten.
37:13What?
37:14Hide and seek.
37:16Start counting.
37:171, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
37:36You're supposed to hide.
37:37I know.
37:39I thought I'd just
37:42skip to the being
37:43found part.
37:45Yeah.
37:47It's my favorite part
37:48anyways.
37:49Well, of course,
38:03when we rebuild
38:04Benson Hills
38:05in record time
38:06under Governor Bouchard's
38:07guidance,
38:08we can find a building
38:09or two to put your name on.
38:14Camberwell Hospital.
38:15It's a nice ring to it.
38:17Mr. Camberwell,
38:19I've been
38:20putting some thought
38:21into the demands
38:22of your workers.
38:23If you'll excuse me,
38:24I have a call to make.
38:26Sure.
38:29Take it easy, Governor.
38:31I'm not here to be easy,
38:32Edwin.
38:33Hmm.
38:43I cannot stall anymore.
38:47Looks like the governor
38:48talks a good game.
38:50I hope that's not true.
38:54Why don't we get started?
38:56Hmm.
39:04Yes, finally.
39:06I outpid that
39:07insufferable Ambrose Dromley
39:09for a racehorse.
39:10Yes, let's arrange
39:13transport now.
39:16Just five more minutes.
39:18I trust you'll explain
39:19that I keep my promises
39:19to my constituents.
39:21If I leave now,
39:22I can just make it.
39:24Good luck with your pony.
39:27Governor.
39:27Ladies,
39:37Rangers
39:40and
39:42Voice.
39:44Hi.
39:47Is everything
39:47okay?
39:48You said
39:48we could talk
39:49anytime?
39:49Of course.
39:50Come on in.
39:51Just shh, little Jack is asleep upstairs, but I have a seat.
40:06Well, what would you like to talk about?
40:10The other day, we went out with Allie and Opal to lay down trail markers for the new park opening.
40:16Thought we'd split up to cover more ground.
40:21But we were hungry, so we stopped to have some stew for lunch.
40:26Okay.
40:27With just a small cooking fire. It wasn't even lit very long.
40:32We did everything Bill taught us about putting campfires out.
40:34Even buried the embers, and waited.
40:36What if we didn't do it right?
40:39What if we were responsible for starting the fire?
40:43What if we get in trouble? How are we gonna tell our parents?
40:47Okay, stop.
40:49Let's take a breath.
40:57I am really glad you two came to me with this.
41:00When you said, communities need trust, we knew we had to tell the truth.
41:07Well, that was very brave.
41:09I don't feel brave, Mrs. Thornton.
41:13I'm scared.
41:20You aren't alone in this anymore.
41:23I promise.
41:39It's been a while.
41:40You are welcome.
41:41I am.
41:42I am.
41:43I am.
41:44I love you.
41:45I don't know.
41:46I am.
41:48I am.
41:49It's been, I'm sorry.
41:50I'm sorry.
41:52I am.
41:53I am.
41:54I am.
41:55I am.
41:57I am.
41:59I am.
42:00I am.
42:02I am.
42:04I am.
