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, looks 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, chalk, a teacher who cares.
00:42You know what?
00:44Maybe this would help.
00:46They're lovely, thank you.
00:48Ash is getting in everywhere.
00:51Here, let'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, I seem to recall a story about a teacher
01:43who helped the whole 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, but 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.
02:03Hey, today is going to 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.
02:41The doctors in Buxton said it would be quite some time
02:44before 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.
02:57You 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, here.
03:32Take it go, Lee.
03:33All right, honey.
03:34Okay.
03:35Hey, love you guys.
03:36Bye.
03:37Do you like this pink dress?
03:40Welcome, 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.
03:56Hi.
03:57My name is Mrs. Thornton, and I will be your teacher,
03:59and we are going to have a great year together.
04:06Now, 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.
04:17long-killing scene.
04:18Come on in.
04:20We'll be back.
04:21Come on in.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Ah.
04:24�.
04:25Ah.
04:26Ah.
04:27Ah.
04:29Ah.
04:31Ah.
04:32Ah.
04:33Ah.
04:34Ah.
04:35Ah.
04:36Ah.
04:37Ah.
04:38Ah.
04:39Ah.
04:40Ah.
04:41Ah.
04:42Ah.
04:43Ah.
04:44Ah.
04:45Ah.
04:45Ah.
04:45Ah.
04:46Folks 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 has 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.
05:09Oh, good. I thought you'd see reason.
05:11You 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,
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.
05:32You'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.
05:45Care for a cup of tea?
05:46Keep us going?
05:48Oh, thank you, but 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.
06:05Endless 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.
06:13Well, 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?
06:23If 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.
06:40We 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.
06:57Well, that's fascinating.
06:59Et tu, Brute?
07:00Hey!
07:03You know, the famous quote?
07:05No one's really sure he said that.
07:07Nobody's really sure he didn't.
07:10Well, I built a scale model of the Roman Forum last year, but it, um, got lost in the fire.
07:18I am so sorry to hear that.
07:21It sounds very impressive.
07:25Um, why don't we turn our attention to reading groups?
07:28Have any of you already read Robinson Crusoe?
07:37Okay.
07:43Hi, Lee.
07:44Hey.
07:48Florence 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.
08:10What?
08:11What was he carrying?
08:12Well, I can't be sure, but it looked like one of those cans that kerosene comes in.
08:18I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
08:20Hold on just a second, Molly.
08:21You saw someone walk into the park with fuel the day Benson Hills and the park burned down,
08:26and you don't want to speak up?
08:27I said, I'm not sure.
08:29What if I'm wrong?
08:30I could never live with myself.
08:31You don't need to be sure.
08:32That is the Mounties job.
08:34All right?
08:35Let's go.
08:36Come 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 apeology?
08:50Why don't we try something?
09:01Hope 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.
09:13Once you are settled, talk to your new seatmate and 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!
09:41Oh, this is Gwendolyn, but she likes Gwen.
09:45She's carving on her desk.
09:48Oh, my.
09:50How about I hold on to that for you?
10:01Okay.
10:03Why did I ask you all to switch seats?
10:08To create community.
10:11Can any of you tell me what makes community?
10:15People!
10:16People, yes.
10:17People work together to build community.
10:20And 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.
10:39I don't like it here either.
10:40Me neither.
10:42I want to go home.
10:44Me too.
10:45Yeah.
10:48Of course you do.
10:49And it might just be too soon for you to feel at home here.
10:53But we can help you feel safe and welcome.
10:55And we'll work on that more tomorrow.
10:58Thank 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.
11:13And 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.
11:32But maybe.
11:37Thank you, Molly.
11:38This has been very helpful.
11:39That was good.
11:44Great.
11:47So?
11:48What are we still doing here?
11:49Let's go arrest the guy.
11:50Slow down, Lee.
11:52Molly could have been describing a dozen men around here.
11:54Come on.
11:55She saw him.
11:56We all know.
11:56Lee, 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.
12:04Look, I've charted a burn pattern.
12:05We'll check with some experts in Capital City.
12:07And it's consistent with an accelerant.
12:09We'll know if it's arson in a day or two.
12:11And if it is, I promise you, McGinty is at the top of our list.
12:14I'm right about this one.
12:16I am.
12:18You'll see.
12:32A few minutes for a civilian?
12:35I can take a break.
12:36How was your first day of school?
12:37Crowded.
12:40All those poor kids from Benson Hills.
12:43Yeah.
12:44Most of them are really nice.
12:47There's this one kid, Rupert.
12:49Rupert?
12:50What do you do?
12:51He acted like ancient Rome's biggest fan.
12:53I said this quote from Julius Caesar, and Rupert said it was historically inaccurate.
13:00Was Rupert there?
13:02Maybe he was a time machine.
13:04What's wrong with quoting Shakespeare?
13:06Wait.
13:07Julius Caesar was a real person and a...
13:09A play by William Shakespeare.
13:10He wrote it for the Globe Theatre in 1599, and...
13:14I'm boring you.
13:19You don't care about things like that.
13:23I gotta finish hanging these flyers.
13:24So 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?
13:41I'm just delivering some contraband.
13:46Well, this is my grandmother's wedding silver.
13:50Gwen was carving into her desk with it.
13:53She vandalized school properly with 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.
14:22Perhaps we just give her some space.
14:24She'll come round.
14:26You should get a fair price to get that debris cleared away.
14:28So let me know if there's a problem.
14:30And 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.
14:43We 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.
14:50Am I interrupting?
14:56No, not at all.
14:58I'm off to find some screws.
15:00I thought you could use something other than cold coffee.
15:08I'm not hungry.
15:10Yeah, but since it's here.
15:11Well, how are you doing?
15:14Hey.
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.
15:33And 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.
15:41You'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?
16:12Take the afternoon.
16:13Go 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 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.
16:41Yeah.
16:44You okay?
16:46It'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.
16:53How 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.
17:03Oh, 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.
17:17Yeah, I guess we could all use a little bit of that right now.
17:19I guess we'll be right back.
17:20Mm-hmm.
17:27Okay.
17:29There you go.
17:34The snake himself.
17:36Molly, it's Lee. The man from the park just walked in. I need to come down here and make
17:55sure it's him. Oh, and put me through the jail first, please. Come on, come on, come on. Pick
18:01up, pick up, pick up. Oliver, it's Lee. Is Nathan there?
18:06Look, the second he gets in, you make sure he comes down to the saloon to see me, all
18:09right? Okay, bye.
18:16Okay, down. One, two, three.
18:21This finally feels like home. We did it.
18:31Macy would love what we've done here. I just don't understand why she doesn't want to stay
18:36with us. You know, she's always been this difficult. When I was eight, I was so excited
18:43to set up a lemonade stand, but she told me I was doing it all wrong. So she set up one
18:48right next door to show me how it's done. She was 26.
18:58Maybe it's a blessing that Maisie doesn't want to stay with us. She's my sister. You don't have to worry
19:08about this. Yes, I do. We're in this mess together. Yeah, that's what families do.
19:13Some families. Maisie doesn't really handle change well.
19:19She's not some wild woman like you, scooching sofas willy-nilly.
19:30And thanks again for agreeing to run the salvage trips.
19:35It's for Maisie.
19:45Molly, you're three o'clock. Is that the man from the park?
19:50I think it's him, but I was clear across the road.
19:55He's leaving. Can't wait for Nathan. I'm going to go in.
19:58Hold it right there, McGinty.
20:02For you, barkeep.
20:04Your beer is flat, by the way.
20:06Is it really? You know,
20:08someone saw you
20:10walk into the forest with a can of
20:12kerosene the same day
20:13the fire started.
20:16That's a big accusation.
20:19Your trees go up
20:20in smoke, and suddenly it's the old
20:22guy who's got nothing to lose. Oh, come on.
20:24You hated the park from day one. Doesn't mean
20:26I'd burn it down.
20:28Though, turning perfectly good land
20:31over to tourists
20:32is almost the same thing, Mr. Coulter.
20:35It's Mayor Coulter. Don't forget that.
20:37And as if you'd understand anything
20:38about leaving something for the next generation.
20:41You mean, for your drooling toddler?
20:44Oh! Oh!
20:48Hey, Lee!
20:50He saw it.
20:51That 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,
20:57and then he walked into me.
20:58I didn't do anything.
20:59Okay, all right.
20:59I got out of both of you.
21:02Lee.
21:04I don't have a choice.
21:05You have to come with me.
21:06Fine.
21:06Well, would you feel safer if I put him in the cuffs?
21:25Possibly.
21:26I hear he has a mean right hook.
21:29Ah, how very funny, you two.
21:31I was just standing my ground.
21:33That's all.
21:33Yeah.
21:44I know what you're gonna say.
21:46Lee Coulter, what were you thinking?
21:48Yes, I was gonna say that.
21:50Thank you for saving me the trouble.
21:51I just saw that smug face, and I...
21:58All those years of work on the park, just up in smoke.
22:05You're angry.
22:06I am so angry.
22:08I'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.
22:17You can't let them get away with it.
22:20McGinty has to pay.
22:21The investigation is not over.
22:24But what 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 and rebuild.
22:41And you know why?
22:42Because you, Lee Coulter, can do anything you put your mind to.
22:49How did I get so lucky to have you in my life, huh?
22:55Says the guy in the slammer.
22:58Yeah, that's me.
23:01All right.
23:04This incident with McGinty.
23:06What time did it happen exactly?
23:08And were there any witnesses?
23:09Am I talking to my wife or a reporter?
23:13You're married to both, sweetheart.
23:15Hmm.
23:16So?
23:18No comment.
23:28Good morning, Oliver.
23:30Oh, Mrs. Thornton and I, uh...
23:31It's nice to see you in here so early.
23:34You're very focused.
23:35What are you reading?
23:36Oh, it's, uh...
23:37Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
23:39I hope Allie really seems to be having a run on Julius Caesar this week.
23:43Well, Allie wanted to talk to me about it, but I'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.
24:03It's more contemporary.
24:05Mr. Whitman finds the poetry in the everyday.
24:09It's just plain language, but he lifts it up.
24:13I'm still not sure I'm the poetry type.
24:17What exactly is the poetry type?
24:22I'll tell you what.
24:23Why don't we meet at the schoolhouse one morning a week, and we can have our own little poetry
24:27study group.
24:28You do that?
24:29Of course!
24:30We'll have you working up to Shakespeare in no time.
24:32Therefore, our everlasting farewell take, forever and forever, farewell.
24:41Farewell.
24:42Farewell.
24:43I'm sorry to get the hang of this.
24:45Thanks, Mrs. Thornton.
24:46Thanks, Mrs. Thornton.
24:55Hello, everyone.
24:56Welcome.
24:57Good morning.
24:58Good morning.
24:59Gather round.
25:01Today is the greatest field day in Hope Valley history, and you can thank Mountie Nathan and
25:10Little Jack for this incredible obstacle course.
25:13Our pleasure.
25:15Our 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.
25:29All right.
25:33Just follow our lead.
25:35Ready, set, let the games begin.
25:39Oh, go, go, go, go.
25:44Go, go, go.
25:45You're beating her.
25:46Go, go, go, go.
25:46Go, go, go.
25:50Go, go.
26:07Well, it is time for our guest referee
26:37to get going. Can we all say, thank you, Mountie Nathan.
26:41Thank you, Mountie Nathan.
26:44You're welcome, kids. Great job out there.
26:49Cooper, Toby, will you join us, please?
26:58So, yesterday we talked about what makes a community.
27:03Now, if we had to pick one word
27:07that described what makes a community,
27:09what would it be?
27:12Trust.
27:13Trust. I like that.
27:16We learned how to trust one another.
27:19Now that we have one another's trust,
27:22we aren't alone.
27:24All right, everyone. Let's head inside and clean up.
27:30Boys, may I have a moment?
27:36You seemed awful quiet today.
27:38We're sorry if we weren't good community members today, Mrs. Thorne.
27:41No, no, you don't have to apologize.
27:44What you've been through,
27:46it must have been very scary.
27:49It's worse for other people.
27:53Well, I'm always here if you need to talk.
27:56Anytime.
27:58Thanks.
27:59Thanks.
28:00Lee!
28:01Hi, sweetheart.
28:02Oh!
28:03Aw!
28:04Hi.
28:05I made your favorite brownies fresh from the oven.
28:10I'll get you some milk.
28:11Oh, no, sweetheart.
28:12It's very nice of you.
28:13I appreciate it,
28:14but I just...
28:15I could use a couple minutes by myself.
28:18You didn't have enough minutes in jail?
28:21That's very funny.
28:22Bye, sweetheart.
28:23the oven. Thank you. I'll get you some milk. Oh, no, sweetheart. It's very nice of you. I appreciate it, but I just I could use a couple minutes by myself. You didn't have enough minutes in jail. It's very funny. Bye, sweetheart. Sometimes daddies need a little time to reflect. Gwen, how was school? You went outside?
28:53I liked it. What did you do outside? I know. Would you like to have one of these brownies?
29:03We all like that. My dad makes us brownies. Well, I'm sure his are much better than mine, but they are pretty good.
29:16Actually, on second thought, would you mind taking this to the backyard to Mr. Coulter? I think he'd appreciate it.
29:25Hey. Oh, is that for me? Thank you. Very nice of you.
29:52Would you like to sit down?
30:01I heard you shoved a guy.
30:09I lost my temper. It was the wrong thing to do.
30:14Unless he had it coming.
30:18Yes, yes, but
30:21didn't swallow anything.
30:27Is that a rose?
30:30This is what we woodworkers refer to as a rosette.
30:34My first one
30:35looked like a squash toad.
30:37Would you like to give it a try?
30:38Sure.
30:39Okay.
30:40There you go.
30:41Now, this is very sharp, so be careful, okay?
30:44Oh, no!
30:45Just kidding.
30:46Like this?
30:47Yeah, just like that.
30:48No.
30:49Here we are.
30:50Now both to fill a pantry for a few more days. Oh, and I tuck some tea in there, too.
30:57Thank you, Governor. And thank you for coming to tonight's meeting. You know that insurance company is denying my claim because a part of my porch is still standing?
31:05Their games are gonna come to an end. I promise you that.
31:09Governor! I've got some news you're going to like.
31:11Perfect timing. Here.
31:12No!
31:13You pass that to Mr. Hanley, please.
31:15Oh, no.
31:16Oh, no.
31:17Oh, no.
31:18Oh, no.
31:19Oh, no.
31:20Oh, no.
31:21Oh, no.
31:22Oh, no.
31:23Oh, no.
31:24Oh, no.
31:25Oh, no.
31:26Oh, no.
31:27Oh, no.
31:28Oh, no.
31:29Oh, no.
31:30Oh, no.
31:31Oh, no.
31:32Oh, no.
31:33Oh, no.
31:34Oh, no.
31:36Where 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.
31:43Yeah.
31:44Anyway, Benjamin Camberwell.
31:48Tonight, dinner.
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,
32:11hearing their issues with insurance claims.
32:13Mm-hmm.
32:14Ms. Martell.
32:16Uh, well, just go to dinner long enough to shake Camberwell's hand
32:20and whisper a few sweet nothings.
32:22Camberwell's employees are striking.
32:24Is it really a good idea for me to align myself with him
32:27when he's in the middle of a labor dispute?
32:29All the more reason to meet with him.
32:31Advocate for the workers.
32:32Turn them around.
32:33Kill two birds with one dinner.
32:38Dinner, not dessert.
32:46May I come in to your office?
32:48How was the trip to the burn sites?
32:50Well, folks found a silver dollar collection,
32:52a wedding ring, pots and pans, and some goats,
32:56which was a miracle.
32:58The residents of Benson Hills appreciate your help.
33:03And I stopped at your house, too.
33:05Oh?
33:07I know you didn't ask me to,
33:09but I found something that you might want to have.
33:15Where your mantle used to be.
33:17A photograph of Mikey.
33:23Baby Mikey.
33:26You kept a picture of baby Mike?
33:29Uh, 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,
33:39it was like the sun rising.
33:42Mother even hired a photographer.
33:43Mother even hired a photographer.
33:47Well, these photos are all up here now, I suppose.
33:52I'm so sorry.
33:53Don't be.
33:54I'm not that sentimental type.
33:56Nothing wrong if you are.
33:59When I married Mike,
34:00I didn't just get a husband.
34:02I got five sisters.
34:04You can lean on us.
34:09I'm fine.
34:10Really.
34:11I'm just, um...
34:12I'm just...
34:13I'm tired.
34:17Stay with us.
34:19Please.
34:22One sister to another.
34:31Oliver!
34:34Hi, Little Jack.
34:36Want some?
34:37Sure.
34:38We're heading to the Canfields for dinner.
34:40I bet they wouldn't mind one more at the table.
34:42I don't want to impose.
34:44They would love your company.
34:46I would too.
34:48Well, I wouldn't turn down a home cooked meal.
34:50And good conversation.
34:52Good job, buddy.
34:54True eloquence lies in the plain, easy, spontaneous conversation I sometimes have with one or two people.
35:06What's that from?
35:07This book Mrs. Thornton gave me, Leaves of Grass. It's pretty good.
35:08You're reading Walt Whitman?
35:09What can I say? I contain multitudes.
35:12How was the rest of your afternoon?
35:13How was the rest of your afternoon?
35:14Rosemary says that Liz convinced McGinty started the fire. How do you feel?
35:15How do you feel?
35:16Let's just say that we even have a conversation.
35:17I have a conversation I sometimes have with one or two people.
35:18What's that from?
35:19This book Mrs. Thornton gave me, Leaves of Grass. It's pretty good.
35:21You're reading Walt Whitman?
35:22What can I say? I contain multitudes.
35:23How was the rest of your afternoon?
35:35Rosemary says that Liz convinced McGinty started the fire. How do you feel?
35:40Let's just say that we even have a witness that may have seen something, but not a solid lead yet.
35:47Luckily for Lee, McGinty's not pressing charges.
35:50That's a relief.
35:51Ali, he's not only my friend, but he's a pillar of the community.
35:56Treating him like a criminal, it just feels wrong.
36:00I'm sure he'd rather take responsibility than have you compromise what's right.
36:05He respects that in you.
36:07This case is testing me.
36:14Ali and little Jack are having dinner with the Canfields. How about a break?
36:20This is exactly what I needed.
36:25Me too.
36:26It's been one thing after another since the fire.
36:29You've been so busy keeping everybody up on their feet.
36:32Never had a minute's rest.
36:33Neither have you.
36:34My students are overwhelmed.
36:36Everyone's overwhelmed.
36:38Well, what would you tell them then?
36:43I would tell them to stop.
36:46And take a breath.
36:47That does feel better.
36:56Of course that field day today didn't hurt either.
36:59It's too bad there's no field day for grown-ups.
37:03Yeah.
37:04That's too bad.
37:08You mean that?
37:10Why?
37:11Close your eyes and count to ten.
37:13What?
37:14Hide and seek.
37:16Start counting.
37:17One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
37:32You're supposed to hide.
37:37I know.
37:41Thought I'd just skip to the being found part.
37:44Yeah.
37:47It's my favorite part anyways.
38:02Well, of course, when we rebuild Benson Hills in record time under Governor Bouchard's guidance,
38:08we can find a building or two to put your name on.
38:13Camberwell Hospital.
38:15That's a nice ring to it.
38:18Mr. Camberwell, I've been putting some thought into the demands of your workers.
38:22If you'll excuse me, I have a call to make.
38:26Sure.
38:29Take it easy, Governor.
38:30I'm not here to be easy, Edwin.
38:32Hmm.
38:43I cannot stall anymore.
38:47Looks like the Governor talks a good game.
38:50I hope that's not true.
38:55Why don't we get started?
38:56Mm-hmm.
39:00Yes.
39:05Finally.
39:06I have bid that insufferable Ambrose Dromley for a racehorse.
39:11Yes.
39:12Let's arrange transport now.
39:15Just five more minutes.
39:17I trust you'll explain that I keep my promises to my constituents.
39:20If I leave now, I can just make it.
39:23Good luck with your pony.
39:26Governor.
39:27Governor.
39:43Boys.
39:44Hi.
39:46Is everything okay?
39:48You said we could talk anytime?
39:49Of course. Come on in.
39:50Just shh.
39:51Little Jack is asleep upstairs.
39:52But I have a seat.
39:53What would you like to talk about?
39:56The other day, we went out with Ali and Opal to lay down trail markers for the new park opening.
40:02Mm-hmm.
40:04Thought we'd split up to cover more ground.
40:08But...we were hungry, so we stopped to have some stew for lunch.
40:12Okay.
40:13With...just a small cooking fire.
40:16It wasn't even lit very long.
40:17I thought 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.
40:30It wasn't even lit very long.
40:32We did everything Bill taught us about putting campfires out.
40:34Even buried the embers and waited.
40:37But what if we didn't do it right?
40:39What if we were responsible for starting the fire?
40:43What if we get in trouble?
40:45How are we going to tell our parents?
40:46Okay, stop.
40:50Let's take a breath.
40:57I'm 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.
41:10I don't feel brave, Mrs. Thornton.
41:13I'm scared.
41:16You aren't alone in this anymore.
41:23I promise.
41:24I promise.
41:24I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:31I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:33I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:34I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:35I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:36I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:37I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:38I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:39I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:40I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:41I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:42I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:43I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
41:44I'll see you next time, Mrs. Thornton.
