00:01Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:03How are those insurance claims coming?
00:05I am hosting a legal clinic at the schoolhouse tomorrow night.
00:08I would love to come.
00:10That's McGinty. What are we still doing here? Let's go arrest the guy.
00:13We'll know if it's arson in a day or two.
00:15I'm right about this one.
00:17We stopped to have some stew for lunch with just a small cooking fire.
00:21We were responsible for starting the fire.
00:25Boys, why don't you tell Constable Graham what you told your parents and me?
00:31Here you go, fellas.
00:38When we went out to set trail markers, Toby and I decided to make a fire.
00:43We wanted to heat up some stew, but then we put it out.
00:47Doused it with water, buried the coals.
00:50From what Cooper told me, they did everything right.
00:52Where exactly did you light this fire? Do you remember?
00:56Up the north side, just past Bell Rock.
00:58We could take you there.
01:00No, it's okay. We know Bell Rock.
01:02As soon as the fireside is safe, we'll head up to inspect.
01:05Did either of you actually see this fire start?
01:09No. We didn't notice anything until we were almost down North Ridge.
01:12That's when we smelled smoke.
01:15And just like that, we were surrounded by fire.
01:18I promise I thought it was out.
01:21We must have missed a step.
01:23We're so sorry.
01:25It's alright.
01:26You both did great in there.
01:36I'm so proud of you boys for telling the truth.
01:41I wish we never made that fire.
01:47So we still don't know what caused the fire.
01:49And if it was to boys?
01:51Well, they're minors, so this will go on the record.
01:54They may have some community service, but they won't serve any jail time.
01:59I do have to warn you that if Cooper and Toby are found responsible, your family could be liable for all property loss and damage.
02:07That's half the town.
02:09We can't possibly pay for that.
02:11What do we do?
02:12Well, you can certainly fight it in court.
02:14So my advice is to get the best lawyer you can.
02:17The sooner the better.
02:19The sooner the better.
02:33I'm so sorry I got I got stuck at this ridiculous dinner and by the time I ran over to the meeting
02:57everyone had left well once people realized the governor wasn't joining as I had promised
03:03no one saw a reason to stay I really am sorry it was an important last minute meeting for my
03:11campaign you know what in my work in capital city I spent a lot of time around politicians
03:18and they always complained about the same thing compromises tough choices the games but deep down
03:26in their core they loved it I thought maybe you were different that you wanted to change the rules
03:35I guess I was wrong now if you'll excuse me my clients expect my full attention not compromises
03:46whoa new saddle Newton is gonna love it actually this is for Oliver's official service horse
04:03we get him in on Monday I thought he didn't get a horse until he's 18 well after Sunday he'll be 18
04:09Sunday oh my goodness I have so much to do I sorry judge Avery
04:18where's she off to in such a hurry I think I might have just released the hounds on someone
04:25it's Oliver's birthday this weekend well at least someone will be enjoying themselves
04:29yeah I know I really hate this part of the job
04:33we still have McGinty we can look into we bring him in for questioning all right I'll get him in
04:37today anything so we don't have to charge those boys here you go oh I had wondered where you two
04:47scampered off to after breakfast yep just want to show you what we've been working on
04:51I thought Goldie could use it where it all's
04:54this is fantastic and I made this for myself goodness oh all right now just oh gosh oh well
05:06I can tell the craftsmanship is quite good can I walk Goldie to daycare again Gwen of course
05:13thank you that's very helpful Gwen's gonna walk you to daycare all right off you go
05:20bye bye bye
05:24that's enough it was good for me to get back to making something again which got me thinking
05:43you know how last night at the meeting a lot of people were complaining about the construction
05:47companies jacking their prices to profit off Benson Hills and their tragedy yes it's terrible
05:51it's reprehensible so what if we expand colder lumber into colder construction a one-stop shop
05:58for the Benson Hills rebuild what do you think Lee I I think it's wonderful
06:04my mom says it was arson I heard it was old man McGinty that's why Mayor Colter went after him
06:16focus on your reading please what does arson mean someone did this to us a fire like that doesn't just happen
06:29I know how difficult this is for you all though it may be tempting until we have all of the answers we
06:39shouldn't be sharing unfounded rumors now let's turn our attention to science please
06:45we have a witness that saw you entering the park with a can of fuel the day of the fire
07:00oh yeah who we're asking the questions your history with the park makes you a person of interest
07:04now you can choose to withhold information or not cooperate but that didn't serve you very well last
07:09time did it look AJ we know you lost your ranch in the fire we don't want to drag this out any more
07:14than we have to but if it was you entering the park with a can of fuel on the day of the fire
07:19what do you expect us to think it wasn't fuel it was a cat excuse me I was burying my cat
07:29so the the can was a cat I buried the cat in the can to protect it from wildlife so he could rest in
07:38peace all right do you expect us to be his name was mr. mittens he was a Maine coon and the best
07:46mouser I ever had well I'm inclined to believe you because I don't want anybody to make up a story
07:56like that but it still puts you in the forest the day of the fire and you could have set that fire
08:02after the burial fine ask the barkeep at shivering timbers shivering timbers in Benson Hill though
08:12was there all afternoon toasting the memory of mittens mr. mittens and there you are 15 cents
08:25change thank you Denise oh good afternoon mini good afternoon net Florence mini how are the jam sales
08:34going pretty good I suppose more folks are buying provisions since the fire and they do love the gem
08:40they do oh that's wonderful would you be able to sell more if I brought in a double batch this week
08:46in the next few weeks we wouldn't be able to to to pay you up front but of course um you'll keep
08:52all the the proceeds of what we sell all right I'll bring some more jars very good Minnie are you all
08:59right yes yes of course uh see you both tomorrow cheerio good day all right
09:06hmm
09:08hmm
09:09oh back already yeah found the barkeep he's been living in Buxton since the fire
09:20so did AJ's story check out seems so McGinty talked the poor guy's ear off of mittens all afternoon
09:27I think you mean mr. mittens yeah well looks like another lead that just leaves I know and we keep
09:33looking
09:34hi
09:39hi
09:40oh no
09:42oh
09:45bad day
09:47started bad
09:49it got worse
09:50we cleared McGinty
09:53so Cooper and Toby
09:56yeah it's looking like it more and more
09:58oh those poor boys
10:00and our families
10:01is there anything we can do to protect them
10:04I can't withhold our strongest lead from my report but
10:07I can redact their names because they're minors
10:11it's not much
10:12but it's something
10:13yeah
10:14have I told you lately how impeccable I think you are
10:25not lately
10:25hey there you two
10:27you seem awful chipper
10:29I'm planning a surprise party
10:31Oliver turns 18 on Sunday
10:33and it'll be his first birthday party
10:35ever
10:36ever
10:37and hear me out
10:39I'm thinking circus
10:41okay maybe a circus is a bit overboard
10:48what do you think Oliver would want
10:50probably something smaller
10:53more personal
10:55sounds about right
10:57I don't know I just
10:59really want it to be special
11:01Allie I think whatever you do it's going to be special
11:06do you think you could both help
11:10yes
11:14you're the best
11:19Maisie
11:30those aren't the clothes we put out for donation

11:37you and Michael are two peas in a pod
11:40neither one of you has much fashion sense
11:43hmm
11:43oh
11:44I'm all for donating
11:49for a good cause
11:50but she's even taken the matching hats we got on our honeymoon

11:57you wore this at our wedding
11:58she's never liked me in blue
12:01but Mike
12:03you aren't going to say anything
12:05I found with Maisie it's best to just
12:08pick your battles
12:10well in order for that to work
12:13you actually have to pick some
12:14battles
12:15enjoy
12:21hi

12:34thanks anyway
12:37but I can't come
12:38why are you working
12:41maybe the host can cover your shift
12:44I don't think I should go
12:46but everyone's going to be there
12:48it was me and Cooper
12:52we lit a fire in the woods
12:56when you and Opal were off
12:58and
12:58obviously that must have been what started the fire
13:02until we
13:04we told the constable
13:06so
13:06everybody's going to know soon enough
13:08so
13:10I don't think you want us at your party
13:12hey
13:26so I talked to everyone
13:28and they're all on board for the expansion
13:30what
13:31what is it
13:32I read the most recent RCMP report about the fire
13:37A.J. McGinty was in the woods
13:39on the day of the fire
13:40I knew it
13:41he did not start it
13:43he didn't?
13:44he was burying his cat
13:46one
13:47Mr. Mittens
13:48he was back in Benson Hills
13:50and accounted for
13:51by the time the fire started
13:53well
13:55back to square one
13:57still have no idea who started the fire
14:00well
14:01there is one more thing in the report
14:05the only lead now
14:07is two kids from Hope Valley
14:09an accidental fire
14:11that got out of control
14:12the kids who went hiking
14:14yes
14:15you're not going to publish that though right
14:20no I will not
14:22but I'm sure the Benson Hills beetle will
14:25have you seen this?
14:27don't want to
14:28can you do me a favor
14:30there's something missing from this shepherd's pie
14:32I don't know what it is
14:33basil
14:36I already put some in
14:38pepper maybe
14:40a lizard bath
14:41I know
14:42I know
14:43if you had heard the children whispering in class today
14:47everyone's just looking for someone to blame
14:48once they figure out it was those boys
14:51you just find a way to stop the speculation
14:53well maybe if people heard it directly from you
14:55then you could
14:56answer their questions
14:58call a meeting
15:01at least for the people here in town
15:03I think gossip is always worse than the truth
15:06that is a great idea
15:09paprika
15:15paprika
15:16hey baby
15:25I just heard from Nathan and Elizabeth
15:27they're calling a town meeting about the fire investigation
15:29are they going to talk about Cooper?
15:32I don't know
15:33we should go
15:34I need to focus on what I can control
15:37baby what's
15:41what's all this?
15:44I called that defense lawyer bill
15:46recommended
15:46and he's not cheap
15:48what about Edie?
15:50can't she help us?
15:51no she's one of the victims of the fire too
15:53so it's a conflict of interest
15:54we need the best
15:56I know it's hard
16:00but what Cooper did was an accident
16:02we're going to be alright
16:04I have faith
16:06how can we pay for Angela's tuition
16:08and a good lawyer for Cooper?
16:13Joseph
16:14you can put all your trust
16:16in God's hands
16:17but right now
16:19I need to use the hands
16:21God gave me
16:23I can do both
16:28put me to work
16:29thank you all for being here
16:37on such short notice
16:38now we know that the fire investigation
16:40is a topic of great interest
16:41I'm sure many of you
16:42have read the article
16:43in the Benson Hills Beetle
16:44so we're here today
16:45to give you the facts
16:46of the investigation
16:47quell any rumors
16:48and answer any questions
16:49that you may have
16:50is it true that you questioned
16:51AJ McGinty?
16:53why hasn't he been arrested?
16:57AJ McGinty had a verified alibi
17:00during the fire
17:01he's no longer a suspect
17:02but we are still looking
17:04the beetle says
17:05two kids from Hope Valley
17:07started the fire
17:08is that true?
17:10calm down
17:11everyone
17:11calm down
17:12it's true that there was
17:14a group of kids
17:15hiking in the woods
17:16at the time
17:17and they lit a small
17:18camping fire
17:19but it is still
17:21under investigation
17:21there's no proof yet
17:23that that is what
17:23caused the wildfire
17:24but that is what
17:25you suspect
17:26under investigation
17:27does not mean
17:28arrested or convicted
17:29is it true that your
17:31daughter was one
17:32of those hikers?
17:37alright let's just
17:38remember that the
17:39people of Hope Valley
17:40took us in during
17:41our time of need
17:42now what we need
17:43right now is a
17:43little trust
17:44right
17:45we want to believe
17:48that you are telling
17:49us all you know
17:50and not putting your
17:51kids and your jobs
17:52ahead of closing this
17:53out
17:54you all get to sleep
17:55in your own beds
17:56it's easy to forget
17:58that some of us
17:59have nothing
18:00Mayor Hickam
18:02we are working
18:04as quickly as we can
18:04but not quicker
18:05well it sure sounds
18:07like you're keeping
18:07secrets
18:08I know how hard
18:17it is waiting
18:17for answers
18:18you all have lost
18:20so much
18:21and everyone is just
18:21looking for why
18:23but what if
18:26it does turn out
18:27that all of this
18:28happened because
18:29some kids lit
18:31a campfire
18:32what if your
18:34suffering isn't
18:35caused by anyone
18:36trying to hide the
18:37truth from you
18:38or hurt you
18:39what if it really
18:41was just a
18:42terrible accident
18:43as much as
18:46you're hurting
18:47finding blame today
18:48isn't going to
18:48bring back your
18:49homes or restore
18:50your businesses
18:51when you all
18:53showed up in Hope
18:54Valley with the few
18:54things you could
18:55carry we became
18:56a community
18:57and that's the
19:01only way we're
19:02going to get
19:02through this
19:03I just feel so
19:20helpless Nathan
19:21I know
19:22I mean if it was
19:24our kids
19:24what would you do
19:25I would make
19:29sure they felt
19:30loved and
19:31supported
19:32no matter
19:34the outcome
19:34well then that's
19:37exactly what we're
19:38going to do for
19:38Cooper and Toby
19:39Cooper
20:05Cooper
20:07Cooper Canfield!
20:11What do you think you're doing?
20:13I don't want to burden you anymore.
20:16I read that.
20:17And it's nonsense.
20:18I heard you and Dad last night.
20:21I know I'm ruining everyone's lives.
20:23Better if I go.
20:24You listen to me.
20:26You have never been and will never be a burden.
20:29You and Dad have so much to worry about.
20:32With Angela, with the church,
20:33I'm supposed to be the easy one.
20:34If Angela has to leave school
20:38because of my mistake,
20:41I won't be able to live with myself.
20:45Cooper,
20:46please hear this.
20:51You've brought us light and joy
20:53since the day you were born.
20:56In this accident,
20:58this mistake,
21:00it changes nothing.
21:04you are known
21:08and you are loved.
21:12Okay?
21:22After all the business I've done at your bank,
21:24this is what you pull?
21:26Forget the loan!
21:28I'll do it on my own.
21:30There you go.
21:32You got no ranch,
21:33no insurance,
21:34and no loan.
21:36I'm ruined.
21:37You got your wish.
21:38So,
21:44after we check on the cupcakes
21:45and pick up the balloons,
21:47we'll be all set to decorate.
21:49Hi, Maxine.
21:50Rupert.
21:54Um,
21:55maybe
21:55this whole party is a mistake.
21:57What?
21:58It's too late to cancel it.
22:00Why would you say that?
22:02Well,
22:02I thought it would be good
22:03to try and have fun together.
22:05Mm-hmm.
22:05But I invited the kids from Benson Hills
22:07and none of them were coming.
22:10Allie,
22:11listen.
22:13Everyone heals at their own pace.
22:15And you are doing something beautiful
22:18for a friend.
22:26Oh.
22:28There's the birthday boy now.
22:30Do you mind, Vi?
22:31Of course.
22:32Thanks.
22:33Oliver!
22:37Wait up.
22:39Hi, Allie.
22:40Where you headed?
22:41Oh, just
22:42doing errands.
22:44Um,
22:44how is everything today?
22:46I mean,
22:47after that town meeting.
22:49About the same.
22:51Rupert's mother
22:52wouldn't even look at me.
22:54People want answers.
22:55It'll take time.
22:59I know who it was.
23:00Toby told me yesterday.
23:04Then why didn't you defend yourself
23:05at the meeting last night?
23:06You let everyone think
23:07it could be you.
23:08It's like Mrs. Thornton said.
23:10It shouldn't matter who it was.
23:12It was an accident.
23:14I taught them to skip stones
23:16this summer.
23:18Now it feels like
23:18it'll never be like that again.
23:22Hey,
23:22want to meet later?
23:24Maybe go for a ride?
23:25Yeah,
23:27okay,
23:28sure.
23:29Meet at the stables?
23:31Actually,
23:31meet at the cafe.
23:33Three o'clock.
23:35I, uh,
23:35gotta bring something
23:36to Mrs. Canfield.
23:37Okay.
23:38Yeah,
23:39sure.
23:40So,
23:40it's a date.
23:42Well,
23:42it's not a date,
23:43but a plan.
23:44It's a plan.
23:46I'll see you later.
23:48Can't wait.
23:48Mikey,
23:59I am trying
24:00to breathe some life
24:01back into the so-called
24:02garden of yours.
24:03What is it?
24:05Well,
24:06Maisie,
24:07you remember
24:09how you taught me
24:10not to overcrowd
24:12the bulbs
24:12or else they won't bloom?
24:14Yes,
24:14and it doesn't look like
24:15you've been taking that advice.
24:17Well,
24:18what I'm trying
24:19to say is
24:20we'll all flourish
24:22if we have
24:23our own space
24:24that we respect.
24:28This is
24:28our house,
24:30and Maisie and I
24:30are very happy
24:31to have you here
24:32as long as you need,
24:33but,
24:34well,
24:36you're not
24:37the mayor
24:37here.
24:45So,
24:46what are the terms?
24:48I'm going to wear blue.
24:51Powder,
24:52royal,
24:53Navy,
24:54periwinkle.
24:55Oh,
24:55periwinkle.
24:56All of them.
24:58All of them.
25:00All right.
25:01And?
25:04And,
25:05Maisie and I
25:06would like you
25:07to join us
25:08at a birthday party.
25:09A birthday party?
25:11These are your terms,
25:12Michael.
25:12Our young Mountie
25:13is turning 18
25:14and everyone
25:16is invited.
25:17Oh,
25:18I highly doubt
25:18that some young man
25:19is going to miss
25:20an old lady mayor.
25:22You're exactly
25:23who we need right now.
25:24I saw you
25:25at that meeting.
25:26People follow you
25:27and they always have.
25:29If you show
25:30a little community spirit
25:32right now,
25:33you'll inspire
25:34everyone else.
25:35just think about it.
25:42Only if you want to.
25:46May,
25:47I did it.
25:54Am I, uh,
25:55am I interrupting?
25:57Not at all,
25:57my friend.
25:59Good.
26:00Didn't see you
26:08at the town meeting
26:08last night.
26:09Wasn't sure
26:10if you'd heard
26:11that McGinty
26:11had been cleared.
26:13I did hear that.
26:17Rosie told me
26:18about Cooper
26:18and Toby
26:19and the campfire.
26:21And I'm so sorry
26:22for those boys.
26:24That is a
26:24terrible weight
26:27to have to carry.
26:28Mm-hmm.
26:30How are you?
26:34How are you all now?
26:37If I'm being honest,
26:39I don't know right now
26:42how we're going
26:42to get through this.
26:43Yeah.
26:49Oh, Joseph.
26:52It is so hard
26:54to sit in the unknown.
26:57I think that's why
26:58I was in such a rush
26:58to blame McGinty.
27:00I needed to hold
27:01someone responsible
27:02for everything
27:03that I'd lost.
27:04You are not alone
27:05in that.
27:06Yeah.
27:07Guess I'm no better
27:08than anybody else
27:09at that meeting.
27:10Demanding names,
27:12needing someone
27:12to blame.
27:13I wouldn't go
27:14that far.
27:15No.
27:16You're willing
27:17to forgive Cooper
27:18and Toby.
27:20Maybe you could find
27:21some forgiveness
27:22for Mr. McGinty.
27:23He didn't start
27:25the fire.
27:27I was...
27:28wrong
27:30about that.
27:33That's as far
27:34as I'm willing
27:35to go.
27:38You know, Lee,
27:40mercy means the most
27:42when it's hardest
27:42to give.
27:43I hear you have
27:52an exciting announcement
27:54to make.
27:54Hmm?
27:55Yes, I do.
27:56I am officially
27:57seeking my second term
27:59as your governor
28:00and my re-election campaign
28:01begins today.
28:02Well, you heard it here
28:04first, listeners,
28:05on the Valley Voice
28:07Radio Hour.
28:08But, now,
28:17tell us,
28:18why would people
28:19give you another term?
28:22I will continue
28:22to think broadly
28:24and locally
28:25for all the people
28:26in the territory.
28:27We will be helping
28:28the people of Benson Hills
28:29rebuild their community.
28:31That is a top priority.
28:33In fact,
28:34I promise that
28:35the rebuild
28:36of Benson Hills
28:37will be completed
28:37within one hour.
28:38One year?
28:39One year?
28:41Governor?
28:42The territory famously
28:44carries a deficit.
28:45How can you make
28:46a promise like that
28:46without money to do it?
28:48You're right.
28:49We do need revenue.
28:51Does that mean
28:52raising taxes?
29:00That is
29:01one way for us
29:03to secure
29:03the necessary funds,
29:05yes.
29:06Look,
29:07I can tell people
29:08what they want to hear
29:09about not raising taxes
29:11and then do exactly
29:12that when I'm in office.
29:14But I'm not going
29:14to lie to you.
29:16I am going to do
29:16everything in my power
29:18to bring our community
29:19back onto its feet.
29:23nice.
29:37Nice.
29:42Smart!
29:42Yeah!
29:42Yeah!
29:44All right.
29:44Beautiful.
29:45Yeah!
29:45afecta.
29:45Nice.
29:46Nice!
29:46Smart!
29:46Yeah!
29:46Okay.
29:47Nice!
29:48Nice!
29:48Nice!
29:49Nice!
29:50Nice!
29:50Nice!
29:51Nice!
29:52Allie! Everything looks incredible! You pulled it off in record time!
30:17Thanks for all your help.
30:22Well, Oliver will be here soon.
30:24There's no one here from Benson Hills.
30:29I know you did your best, kiddo.
30:35But it looks like somebody showed up.
30:41Maisie! You made it.
30:44Thank you for coming.
30:45Thanks for the nudge.
30:48We so appreciate you coming, Mayor Hickam.
30:52Oh, my gosh! Look!
30:58Oh!
31:00Oh, my goodness. I am so happy you're here.
31:03You were right. This is our community now, too.
31:06No.
31:20Hi, Allie. You look really nice.
31:23Ready to go?
31:24Actually, there's something I want to show you first.
31:26Come with me.
31:27Surprise!
31:46Happy birthday, Oliver.
31:47Happy birthday, Oliver.
31:48You did all this?
31:50Well, I know you never got to have a party, so...
31:54Something for every birthday you missed.
31:57Sort of like 18 birthdays in one.
32:03What do you think?
32:04I think this is the best thing ever.
32:09Well, were you surprised?
32:10More like shocked.
32:12And amazed.
32:14Glad to hear it.
32:15Let's get this party started!
32:16Yes!
32:28Cornhole?
32:30Where's Cooper? He's the master.
32:32Where is he?
32:34And Toby.
32:36I invited them, but...
32:38I guess they decided not to come.
32:40You know.
32:42Yeah.
32:44This is all incredible, but...
32:46I promise I'll be right back.
32:51Remember what Oliver said.
32:53Loosen your wrist a little more, and then fling it.
32:55It's not just the wrist. You also got to snap the elbow.
33:05Oliver, what are you doing here?
33:07Yeah. Isn't your birthday party now?
33:09It is, but you guys weren't there.
33:11Trust me. That's how you want it.
33:14Yeah.
33:15We set the fire, and you're a Mountie.
33:17You shouldn't be hanging out with us.
33:19You didn't do anything on purpose. You're not criminals.
33:21Anyway, the whole point of a birthday party is being with your friends,
33:23so if you're not going, I'm not going.
33:32Okay.
33:34But we have one condition.
33:42It's not back yet.
33:49Gather around, everyone. I just want to say something really quick.
33:51Thank you all for coming to my first ever birthday party.
33:59Before I came to Hope Valley, I didn't really have friends, but now I do.
34:04And I feel like the luckiest guy.
34:10Because friends are always there for you.
34:11I'm glad I was able to convince my two pals, Toby and Cooper, to join me here today.
34:17Maybe something they want to say to all of us.
34:18Our cooking fire sparked the wildfire.
34:24It was a horrible action, and we're both really sorry.
34:31So, so sorry.
34:32Well, the first time I convinced my parents to let me babysit all of my siblings, baby Mikey went missing.
34:49Missing!
34:50First rule of babysitting is don't lose the baby, right?
34:57Oh, I panicked.
34:59Called in the town Mountie.
35:00Started a search party.
35:01And do you know where we found him?
35:05Asleep in the cupboard.
35:06That's our Mikey.
35:10That's right.
35:11Even an old mayor like me has made plenty of mistakes.
35:16I'm pretty sure everyone here has.
35:21I could keep you all your most of the night talking about all my mistakes, but this is a party.
35:27Let's get back to having fun.
35:28Well done.
35:44Constable.
35:49Happy birthday.
35:53Thank you, Mayor Hickam.
35:54Mm-hmm.
35:55Isn't that your tie?
36:00I left the blue tie for you, Michael.
36:05Even if it does wash you out.
36:11Well, it's a start.
36:12Yeah.
36:20Good luck.
36:21Elizabeth, we heard about your beautiful speech at the town meeting.
36:28Thank you for inspiring all this.
36:31I just said the truth.
36:33Cooper is an incredible kid.
36:35He's the inspiration.
36:37And he deserves everyone's support.
36:39Well, just knowing we have that support is enough to see us through.
36:42It was enough to see us through.
36:43Hmm.
36:47Oh!
36:48Oh!
36:49Oh my goodness!
36:50All right!
36:59That was the best party I've ever had.
37:00Oliver, it's the only party you've ever had.
37:01Oliver, it's the only party you've ever had.
37:08I, um...
37:10I didn't get a chance to give this to you.
37:12You didn't have to get me anything.
37:14This collection made me fall in love with poetry.
37:27Yeah, some for you too.
37:29You're not supposed to get other people gifts on your birthday.
37:33It's actually from your birthday.
37:35I didn't get to give it to you last year.
37:37Nope, now's okay.
37:40You kept it all this time?
37:42Go ahead.
37:48Oliver.
37:50It's a wolf.
37:52Because, well, you love nature.
37:54And you're so...
37:57brave.
38:01It's really beautiful.
38:13Here, you have to...
38:17Allie really did a great job on that party.
38:32Yep.
38:34It's a special group of kids.
38:36I tend to think that all kids are special.
38:41That's because of you.
38:43You know that, right?
38:44Those kids being generous today and showing up for Toby and Cooper.
38:49That's...
38:51That's because of you, Elizabeth.
38:53You inspired me.
38:57I'd say it was more of a team effort.
39:00I'm proud to be on your team.
39:02Elizabeth Thornton.
39:03Mm-hmm.
39:09Disaster has a way of breaking things down beyond recognition.
39:14Shattering the world around us.
39:16You look around and you think your life will never be whole again.
39:37But when you accept a little help, you can start to put the pieces back together.
39:46There we go.
39:48You got it?
39:50You may be surprised to find what you end up with.
39:53AJ.
39:55AJ.
39:59I've come to apologize.
40:01I never should have accused you of starting that fire and I definitely...
40:05Well, I shouldn't have lost my temper.
40:09So I am here today to humbly ask you for a favor.
40:14Would you be willing to let me launch my construction company by building you a cabin here?
40:20I don't need your charity.
40:23Well, that's good news because this wouldn't be charity.
40:25I would be using the cabin as a model for prospective clients.
40:34I guess that could work.
40:43Good.
40:45There is one more thing, Lee?
40:47Right, yes, of course.
40:48The most important thing, as a matter of fact.
40:53May we suggest the name...
40:55Dr. Socks?
40:56Because loss always comes with a hidden gift.
41:02And when we lean on our community, there are greater riches to be found.
41:06Thank you, Lee.
41:10To me, Lee.
41:11Thank you, Lee.
41:12Thank you, Lee.
41:13Thanks, Lee!
41:14Thank you, Lee.
41:16I see the pressure meeting you today.
41:17I'm sorry.
41:18I'm sorry.
41:19I'm sorry.
41:21I am sorry, Lee.
41:23But you are....
41:24I'm sorry.
41:26I am sorry, Lee.
