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