00:02Previously on, One Calls the Heart.
00:04This is the only evidence you need.
00:05Can we just leave it there for now?
00:07Might ask Elizabeth to marry me.
00:09Well, you're off to a good start.
00:11I'm thinking we try an op called the drip test.
00:14We prove that Pioneer Electric and National Insurance have been colluding in a cover-up together.
00:18You've come to the right place.
00:20Information has come to light that I think you'd be very interested in.
00:24We got him.
00:25Well, haven't you ever wondered if we could have made a go of it?
00:28Well, of course I have.
00:30Edie.
00:30Things have their moment, Lucas.
00:32You shouldn't think so much about the past.
00:55Finally.
01:09Those are pretty.
01:11Astor's.
01:12Last bloom of the season.
01:14Elizabeth's favorite.
01:16Because it's never too late.
01:18Would this have anything to do with a certain plan?
01:20I may have been waiting for them to bloom.
01:23So this is it?
01:25Operation Forever and Always is a go?
01:27Almost.
01:30After the trial.
01:32You have the ring.
01:33You have the flowers.
01:35Why wait for a trial?
01:36Because I don't want anything hanging over me.
01:39Just one more hurdle.
01:40Well, I hope those astors hold out.
01:43Okay.
01:43Let's go over the plan.
01:45So, when I give you the signal...
01:47I offer to babysit LJ.
01:49You invite Elizabeth to dinner.
01:51Yes.
01:51Which I will make.
01:52On my own.
01:53Yeah.
01:53Are you sure about that?
01:55If I need reinforcements, I'll let you know.
01:57And then?
01:59And then I will...
02:01I'll wait for the perfect moment.
02:03Get down on one knee.
02:05I'll pull out the ring box.
02:07And then...
02:09I...
02:10Uh...
02:11Come in.
02:12Good morning, you two.
02:14Elizabeth.
02:15LJ.
02:16Good morning.
02:17I hope we're not too early.
02:18No.
02:19I've got everything.
02:20So, ready to go.
02:22Look what I found.
02:24An acorn.
02:25Whoa.
02:26Let me see.
02:32Big day today.
02:34Yeah?
02:35I asked Florence to lead a lesson so I can be there for you.
02:38For your testimony.
02:39For the trial.
02:40Yes.
02:42I know how important this case is to you.
02:45To everyone, of course.
02:46Especially the folks from Benson Hills.
02:48But...
02:48I just wanted to say that...
02:51We couldn't have hoped for a better man fighting for us.
02:54Thanks.
02:56And I just hope I'm able to deliver on the stand.
02:58I know you will.
02:59Not that you're biased or anything.
03:02I mean...
03:03Madly in love, sure.
03:05But in a completely unbiased way.
03:09Hey, did you see the asters are in bloom?
03:11I...
03:11I may have noticed.
03:13Just in time, right?
03:16For the Harvest Festival?
03:18Of course, yeah.
03:20It's all happening.
03:22Come on, Mama!
03:23Mama!
03:25Oh, my God.
03:27Oh, my God.
03:35One night.
03:45Hold on, Mama!
04:16THE END
04:18We should go to trial
04:18We can't be seen
04:20Seen eating breakfast?
04:22You know what I mean
04:23We're professionals
04:25We can't seem distracted
04:27By our personal
04:31Okay
04:31Why is this so delicious?
04:34Well, you said you wanted mystery
04:37Looks like a courtroom in here
04:38Good work
04:40Yeah, thanks, given Benson Hill's courthouse
04:42is still under construction
04:43At least we have the home team advantage
04:45I'm calling you to the stand first
04:47You ready?
04:48Yeah, although I wish I had something more concrete for you
04:51Pioneer falsified maps
04:53We've got them dead to rights on that
04:54You don't falsify maps if you're not covering something up
04:57Still, I'd feel a lot better if we had Christopher pointing a finger at Shelby Whitaker
05:01Well, so would I, but we don't
05:04I smell waffles
05:08Oh, hmm
05:10Okay, so we have a phony map and evidence of some kind of collusion
05:15And they have fancy lawyers, investigators, and paid witnesses
05:19A little faith in my skill as a prosecutor here?
05:22I have faith in you
05:24Yeah, me too
05:25I'm gonna go review everything one more time
05:27Oh, oh, oh
05:29Whoa, whoa, uh, uh
05:38Buttermilk?
05:43If we go this weekend, Rupert can come
05:45That's great
05:47Go where?
05:48We're gonna hike to the top of Parsons Peak
05:50It's amazing, you can see the whole valley from the top
05:52Like a hawk
05:55I'm not much for camping, but
05:56You wanna sleep there?
05:58You have to, it takes almost a whole day to get there
06:00Can I come?
06:02Ask your mom
06:19Lucas!
06:20Elizabeth
06:21I thought you'd be at the trial
06:23Oh, I'm just taking a moment to gather volunteers for the Harvest Festival
06:27Harvest Festival?
06:28Mm-hmm
06:28It's kind of a send-off celebration for the Benson Hills families
06:32And I was thinking
06:35The children loved your magic show so much when they first arrived
06:38Any chance of a repeat performance?
06:41I wish
06:43Unfortunately, Edwin is already annoyed enough that I have to govern instead of campaigning
06:48Ah, of course
06:51Well, maybe Mike and May can do their animal act
06:54What animal act?
06:55Wait, what animals?
06:57I don't know
06:58And Scout isn't much of a showman
07:01Well, I do wish you long
07:03Sorry I can't be of more help
07:06Lucas
07:08How is the campaign going?
07:10Fine, I suppose
07:12I am very much looking forward to defending my record at the upcoming debate
07:16But you've accomplished so much
07:19All of the new clinics
07:20The Benson Hills rebuild
07:22Thank you
07:24Despite all that, it just feels like less than I'd hoped
07:27But it is what it is
07:30I know you wanted to do things on a grand scale
07:35I hope you know you've done that
07:37No matter what you decide to do next
07:42Do you mind if I take one of those?
07:44Of course
07:46Of course
07:47Please come, if you can
07:53Look at you ahead of schedule
07:54Oh, Opal and Rupert did most of it
07:58Hiring those two is worth every penny
08:00Solid investment
08:01Even if Opal does scare me a little bit
08:04Oh
08:06Then I'd better warn you
08:07I asked them both to keep an eye on the cafe during the trial
08:12You're going
08:13You're not?
08:17I have a sermon to write
08:22After everything that Ioneer was willing to do to Cooper
08:26I'm not sure I want to be in the same room with him
08:29I understand
08:32I guess I need to see justice served
08:35And if it isn't?
08:37Then I need to see that too
08:41Either way, we'll close the book on it
08:43Find some peace
08:48There you go
08:51Plenty of time to spare
08:55Next stop
08:57Is a hotel
09:08Excuse me
09:11Oh
09:14There you go
09:16This must feel like
09:17A big day for you and your constituents
09:20Hmm?
09:21Well, that depends on the outcome
09:24Of course
09:28Inspector McGill
09:30I hear you and our prosecutor
09:32Made quite a duo bringing this case to trial
09:35Hmm?
09:37I'm just here to help an old friend see that justice is served
09:42Yes
09:48It is now in session in the case of the King versus Pioneer Electric Company
09:57As this is a bench trial, all arguments will be made to me, Judge Virgil Wakefield
10:04Counselor Avery, you may present the prosecution's opening statement
10:09Thank you, Your Honor
10:10If it may please the court
10:14Well
10:16We are all here today to talk about how Pioneer Electric
10:20Colluded with their own insurance company
10:22To cover up the cause of a devastating wildfire that tore through a national park
10:27And destroyed most of the town of Benson Hills
10:31But I'd like to talk about
10:34Dreams
10:36Dreams of a playhouse
10:37Where a town can come together to create joy and community
10:42Dreams of protecting land
10:44From the pursuit of profit to preserve its beauty for future generations
10:48And sadly, the dreams of so many families
10:51Who lost the most precious thing they could ever own in their lives
10:54Their homes
10:57What compensation can there possibly be for lost holidays?
11:03Our only compensation is justice
11:06And it is justice that we seek here today
11:13Thank you, Mr. Avery
11:15Mr. Mann
11:17Opening statement for the defense
11:25What you just heard from my good friend, Mr. Avery here
11:29Is what my rancher daddy used to call all hat and no cattle
11:34As you'll see, Mr. Avery brings many accusations
11:38And a little bit of poetry
11:40But precious little evidence
11:42He's hoping that the written testimony of one Christopher Hughes will be his ace
11:47But where is Mr. Hughes?
11:49And why isn't he making his accusations directly to this court?
12:05I discovered the fire's origin in an area with some unusual pieces of charred concrete
12:10A pioneer employee named Christopher Hughes came forward and confirmed that this was the base of a pioneer electric transformer
12:18The transformer that started the fire
12:25Well, that's quite an allegation, Constable
12:28Unfortunately, we don't have the physical evidence of the transformer, do we?
12:32Well, we wouldn't
12:33Because according to Christopher's testimony, he was sent into the woods the night of the fire to remove the transformer
12:39and bury it
12:39Sent by whom?
12:41His boss, Mr. Shelby Whitaker
12:47Order, please
12:49Your Honor, this is the signed confession of one Christopher Hughes
12:53Now, Constable Grant, where on this map did you find the concrete spalling?
12:57Right here, right where the fire started
13:00I see
13:00Yet this map, made by Pioneer Electric, shows its transformers miles away from the fire's area of origin
13:08Constable, how do you explain this?
13:09Well, you'll notice
13:11That this map is dated three days after the fire
13:15Leading our investigation team to believe that this map is fraudulent
13:20No more questions, Your Honor
13:28Constable Grant, have you been to the Hall of Records where official documents are registered?
13:32No, I haven't
13:33Well, the first thing you'd notice is that it's quite busy
13:37In fact, it can take several months to officially register a map, so you can't really pinpoint when that map
13:43came in, now can you?
13:47No, I suppose I can't
13:49So, other than this map and the testimony of a former employee who mysteriously is not here today
13:56You don't have any other physical evidence, do you, Constable?
14:00We tried to retrieve the buried transformer, but we were run off the road on our way out there
14:05Like, the only reason Christopher Hughes isn't here today is because he fears for his life
14:11Do you have any proof that Pioneer had anything to do with this unfortunate incident?
14:20The license plate number didn't turn anything up
14:23But the coincidence is striking
14:26Coincidences are not evidence though, are they, Constable?
14:36No further questions
14:42The defense attorney was really grasping at straws
14:45Yeah, well, all he has to do is get the judge to doubt, he did a pretty good job
14:49How'd it go? Oh!
14:51Well, your father's testimony was excellent, he made some very strong points
14:55Great! So, it'll be over soon?
14:58This is not going to be an open check case
15:00I think we're in for a fight
15:11Inspector McGill, these bank records for mapmaker Clemens Scoggins show a deposit of $500 for the drafting of the transformer
15:19map in question today now
15:21Is that normal pay for a mapmaker?
15:24Maybe if he's mapping the earth
15:28Now, when you and Constable Grant question Mr. Scoggins about this payment, what did he do?
15:32What guilty people usually do, he called the man who hired him to falsify the map, Mr. Shelby Whittaker
15:39Allegedly, he'd falsify, your honor
15:41And how would you describe Mr. Scoggins on that call, Inspector?
15:44Anxious, and Mr. Whittaker was very eager to end the call
15:48Objection, your honor
15:50I'd be anxious if a Mountie ambushed me in the middle of a professional meeting and $500 could be a
15:54bonus for a job well done
15:56Objection sustained
15:57Counselor, stick to provable facts, please
16:07I like to think of it like a good game, you know? If it's tough in the first half, it
16:11makes it that much more dramatic when we turn it around
16:14If only this were a game
16:16We're just getting started, Maisie
16:17Yes, we are
16:19I have to go help another man make his case
16:21Back to it tomorrow
16:24That Saxton man has a shifty character
16:27It's always the folks he wants
16:28You landed some punches, though
16:30It just feels like pioneers running circles around me
16:33Well, you'll have him on the ropes tomorrow with that drip test
16:35And when the judge finds out that national insurance isn't on it too, the gavel's gonna fall
16:40Yeah
16:41Why don't we sit down? You haven't eaten since breakfast
16:43Oh, I can't eat
16:45I just wanna go over everything again, make sure we didn't miss something
16:47Well, then I'll bring sandwiches and we can look together
16:50Well, I wouldn't wanna seem distracted
16:54I've given up trying to keep my personal life private
16:56Rosemary's about to write about it in the Valley Voice
16:59Well, I'll take that as a win
17:00We could use one
17:02Now cut your back, Avery
17:03Round two tomorrow
17:06Thanks
17:08I'm glad you're here
17:12Now in just two years in office
17:14I have vastly expanded the health, the wealth, and the opportunity
17:19of every member in this territory
17:21Well, the people of Benson Hills might have a quibble with that, Governor
17:25When we were still sleeping on borrowed beds
17:28after a fire erased our homes
17:30you raised our taxes
17:32Taxes that are now funding a major rebuild
17:34Yes, thanks to a private grant from the Franklin & Sons Foundation
17:38Meanwhile, our taxes are filling in potholes in Capital City
17:43You're right
17:44The Territorial Assembly voted to divert my disaster relief fund
17:48Which is why I'm relying on private funding in order to get things moving
17:52But we didn't vote for the Franklin & Sons Foundation, Governor
17:57We voted for you
17:58So why should we trust you with our tax money again?
18:04Honestly, Mayor Hickam, I don't know
18:07I don't think that's the answer you want to give, Governor
18:11No
18:13But you're right
18:15Every initiative I run on
18:18Every attempt I've made at real reform
18:21Just pecked to death
18:23Between you and me, I thought the idea of the private grant was smart and bold
18:28But if I'm playing your opponent, he is going to make you look weak
18:31Like you couldn't get this done the usual way
18:34The usual way is a road that leads nowhere
18:36I could get ten things done in half the time working outside of government
18:42Hmm
18:45Do you want my advice?
18:47Please
18:48Learn to love the game
18:50Hmm?
18:52And if you can't
18:54Find another game
19:01So, does this mean that the trial is almost over?
19:04Hopefully not, based on the way it's going
19:07Can you hand me a lemon, please?
19:10I just hope it doesn't take too long
19:13You know, so we can all move on
19:17I don't know, it gets pretty cold up there at night
19:20What's this?
19:21Oliver's taking all the big hits to a high, high, high
19:24They want to go hiking up at Parsons Peak
19:28Parsons Peak?
19:29That's really high
19:30And far
19:31We're going to camp overnight like cowboys
19:34Yeah, LJ, I don't think this is the trip for you
19:38Nathan's right, I don't think you can be camping overnight
19:41But all the other boys are going
19:43Ally can come
19:45Uh, well, I was actually hoping you and I could have a trip
19:50Have a fun night together
19:52Maybe tomorrow
19:54If the trial's over
19:55But then I'll miss out
19:57Cooper said you could see the whole valley from the top
20:00Like a hawk
20:01Oh, honey bear, Parsons Peak is just too far
20:04We need to stay closer to home
20:06Hey, what if we camped out in the backyard instead, huh?
20:10We could make a cowboy stew
20:12We could sleep out under the stars
20:14That sounds like fun
20:15It's not the fame
20:23Sorry, I didn't mean to
20:24It's alright
20:26Maybe you two can take over dinner
20:37Is it possible, Mr. Whitaker, for one of Pioneer's Transformers to malfunction and create sparks?
20:45Well, anything's possible
20:48Which is why Pioneer is careful to place our Transformers in areas where they won't spark a wildfire
20:55Well, isn't that interesting?
20:57And how do you go about determining which part of a forest is more or less prone to wildfire?
21:02Well, we do thorough investigations
21:05Which is how Pioneer Electric discovered that Laveau Farms conducted a controlled burn in what you call the area of
21:15origin the very day of the fire
21:17Something you and your Mounties completely missed
21:26Well, it's quite a revelation, Mr. Whitaker
21:30Pioneer Electric's insured by National Insurance, is that right?
21:33Proudly, they're a fine company
21:35Question
21:37Would it be legal for Pioneer Electric and National Insurance to work together to somehow reduce their liability around an
21:44event such as the Benson Hills fires?
21:46No such thing would have happened, so of course we would never
21:50But isn't it true that you got your information about Laveau Farms not from an investigation, but directly from National
21:56Insurance?
21:57I don't know anything about that
21:58No, but I think you do, Mr. Whitaker
22:00Because Laveau Farms doesn't exist
22:06Settle down
22:07Doesn't exist
22:09That's impossible
22:11This was absolutely credible information
22:13It came to us from
22:14C-O-U-L-T-E-R
22:20Yes, I was working in my capacity as a sometimes aide to the RCMP
22:27Laveau Farms never existed
22:31Or
22:32They only existed to demonstrate the clear line of communication between Pioneer Electric and an insurance company determined to deprive
22:42the people of Benson Hills of protection they fully deserved
22:45Hear you
22:52Thank you
22:53I simply gave National Insurance exactly what they wanted
22:56An all too tantalizing reason to claim that the fire was caused by arson
23:04And thus absolved their client of any wrongdoing so both companies could get off scot-free
23:20I'm calling a one-hour recess, but I would like both parties to approach the bench now
23:30Tell me about the false lead you planted, Mr. Avery
23:33It's a straightforward drip test, Your Honor
23:35Our plant, Mrs. Coulter, made her claim directly to National Insurance's chief claims adjuster
23:40Now you saw for yourself where it dripped out
23:42Clearly these companies have been working together illegally
23:46Sounds like straightforward entrapment to me, Your Honor
23:48Should be inadmissible
23:52So you can't use the drip test as evidence?
23:56The judge just threw it out?
23:58Yeah, called it entrapment
23:59Was it?
24:01Bill insisted that nobody was enticed to do anything illegal
24:04All we were doing was exposing it, but he wouldn't budge
24:09So now what?
24:10Now nothing, we played our ace
24:13Bill wants to put an open call out on Christopher
24:15Offer a reward to anybody that can bring him in
24:17But you don't want to
24:19Well, then we put a price on his head
24:22Hmm
24:24It's just, without his testimony, and with Bill's closing statement tomorrow
24:27It's looking like Pioneer Electric burns down an entire town and gets away with it
24:35There might be one other move we can try
24:40Henry!
24:42Hey!
24:43How are you?
24:44Well, I'm good
24:45Just get a little work down in the trees
24:47Could be an early frost
24:50Do you have a moment?
24:52Of course
24:53Well, you know how hard Bill has been working to win this case
24:56Yeah, I've been talking to Christopher's mother every day
25:01Wish that I knew what else I could do
25:05How's Rachel?
25:06She's beside herself
25:09I mean, they just got engaged
25:12She's still hoping that he'll do the right thing
25:15Well, maybe you can let him know that
25:17How do you mean?
25:22And now, dear listeners, we'd like to dedicate the final moment of tonight's program
25:27To a personal message
25:29From someone here in Hope Valley
25:32Whenever you're ready
25:38Christopher?
25:40It's your father
25:44I imagine that mine is not the voice that you were hoping to hear
25:51I know that my words weren't enough to keep you here
25:55For that and for everything that led up to here, I'm sorry
26:01I've been speaking recently to someone else who loves you
26:05She tells me that she has faith that you will do the right thing
26:12I don't think that there's any question that you and I have been faced with some similar challenges in this
26:20life
26:23So I understand how difficult it can be to crawl one's way out of the dark
26:29Especially when you're deep in it
26:35For myself
26:38The light that was shone on me
26:41It's been a miracle of forgiveness
26:43It was offered to me from
26:45Someone who
26:47Had no reason to believe in me
26:52Chose to anyway
26:56Never think
26:58That you are undeserving of affection
27:01Not now
27:03Especially not now
27:06Come home, son
27:09It's never too late to come home
27:28Any word from Christopher?
27:29Lee spoke with Rachel this morning, nothing yet
27:32I hope he was listening last night
27:35Well, it certainly intrigued our listeners
27:36Roland Rockwell said the switchboard was flooded
27:39Perhaps an idea for a new program
27:41Ladies, good morning
27:43Good morning, Lucas
27:44Good morning, Governor
27:45Are you sharpening your rhetorical sword for that debate?
27:49I am, yes
27:50But I wanted to check in with you about the Harvest Festival
27:54I'm wondering if perhaps it isn't too late to sign up as a performer
27:57Not at all, I will add you to the list
28:00I hope you'll be reprising your magic show
28:02The children loved it
28:03I will indeed
28:04Seems it's time for a little presto change-up
28:09Will
28:14When tragedy strikes, it's in our nature to look for a culprit
28:19But the sad truth is that life is full of misfortune
28:23Lightning strikes dry brush
28:25A camper unknowingly leaves a smoldering ember
28:30What truly started the blaze and nearly destroyed the town of Benson Hills
28:34We may never know
28:35Blaming a natural act of destruction on some imagined corporate malfeasance
28:41May seem like a better ending to our story here today
28:43But we have a greater duty
28:46To the truth
28:54Am I too late?
29:04I have the transformer
29:06Let me guess, Christopher Hughes
29:09Yes, sir
29:09Your Honor, this is most unusual
29:12It is, Counselor
29:13And I'm not keen on interruptions in my courtroom
29:15But say your piece, Mr. Hughes
29:18Yes, sir
29:22This is what he asked me to get rid of
29:25This is what started that fire
29:30Everything that I said in my testimony is true, Your Honor
29:33I'll tell anyone who needs to hear it
29:35Better late than never
29:37Your Honor
29:38In light of this new information
29:40Prosecution requests to call another witness
29:43That won't be necessary
29:45I've heard enough
29:46And I'm ready to render my verdict
29:56Who wants champagne with their justice?
30:00Yes, please
30:01Thank you
30:03Well, how about that?
30:05Kid knows how to make an entrance
30:10Constable Grant
30:11Constable Grant, I'm
30:12So sorry, I disappeared
30:14You didn't feel safe
30:15That was my job
30:16No, I...
30:17I'm just glad you knew you could come back
30:21Yeah
30:24It really helped hearing your voice, thank you
30:27Yeah, if you've spoken with Rachel yet
30:29I haven't had the chance yet
30:30Maybe now's a good time
30:32Yeah
30:38There really is an art to finding your moment
30:43Why don't I cook you dinner tonight?
30:45Why don't you the two of us?
30:47I'll get Allie to watch LJ
30:49Obviously, I will make my lemon curd
30:51Oh, perhaps not
30:53Now, may I have a few exclusive words with our constable?
30:58By all means
31:00All right, now, tell me
31:02What rushed through your veins when you took the stand?
31:05Well...
31:11That was quite a lot of skill there, Avery
31:13You heard Henry on the radio
31:15I think it had more to do with love
31:20Can I have everyone's attention, please?
31:24To thank our fearless prosecutor
31:27Today, he was counsel
31:28Usually, he's Judge Avery
31:31But to me, he's Bill
31:34Thank you, Bill
31:40Oh, now I broke that story months ago
31:48Mr. and Mrs. Canfield?
31:51Oh, Kristen
31:53Thank you for what you did today
31:55I'm sure it wasn't easy
31:57I know there's no excuse
32:01I am just...
32:03So...
32:04So sorry
32:06You did what you felt you had to
32:12Just hope you'll forgive me
32:34Can I help?
32:36Oh, I've got it, it's fine
32:44Okay...
32:45Hope you're hungry
32:49Okay...
32:51Okay...
32:54Uh...
32:55You take the nicer one
32:59How did you have time to make this?
33:02Well...
33:02I've been working on this longer than I'd like to admit
33:06Here...
33:09Let's toast...
33:13To justice being served
33:16Mmm...
33:17And everything falling into place
33:26Mmm...
33:27Everything smells wonderful
33:30And the asters
33:32Do you remember?
33:33Of course...
33:34The day all this started
33:37For you, maybe
33:39No...
33:40When did it start for you?
33:43Are you asking me when I first knew that I was falling for you?
33:47I guess I am
33:49It was when Allie skipped school
33:52And you called me, remember that?
33:55I thought I was coming in for a lecture on discipline, but...
34:00But you quoted Emerson
34:03You brought her into the fold
34:08That was the first time I saw just what a beautiful person you are
34:11Oh...
34:13Thank God
34:20God...
34:21I, uh...
34:24I am so sorry to interrupt, but it's LJ
34:27He's not hurt, but he climbed up a tree and now he can't get down
34:31Oh no...
34:32I'm so sorry, I tried to reach him
34:41You're okay, you're almost down
34:42Here...
34:43Here, I've gotcha
34:44It's okay...
34:45There you go, I got him
34:47Oh...
34:48Oh my goodness, are you okay?
34:50I couldn't get down
34:52How did that happen?
34:53I'm so sorry, we were looking for acorns and I wasn't watching
34:57Looks like his elbow took a bit of scrape
35:00You could have been really hurt
35:01I wanted to see the valley like a hawk, but I couldn't
35:05I know, but you can't climb that high by yourself, LJ
35:07I can never do anything!
35:15Oh...
35:25Dad?
35:27Can I ask you a question?
35:29Of course
35:31Anything
35:34How come you didn't shake Mr. Hughes' hand?
35:40It's complicated
35:43But...
35:44Mr. Hughes did the right thing
35:46He helped bring justice
35:48That's true
35:50But he also made choices that cause a lot of pain and trouble for you
35:55Your mother, the whole town
35:59But...
35:59In your sermon last Sunday, you said
36:01To forgive is to restore yourself
36:06I did
36:11And I believed that too
36:14As a pastor
36:16But as your father
36:19I guess I'm not ready yet
36:21Is it alright if I am?
36:24Come here
36:31You're a better man than I am, you know that?
36:34No, I'm not
36:37I love you, Dad
36:38I'm proud of you, Cooper
36:41Love you
36:47Big boy
36:48Big boy
36:50Please
36:55You gonna tell me where we're going?
36:57Just walking
36:59I think I saw rare goldfinch a ways back
37:03Been reading some guide books
37:04Wanted to make myself more useful next time we go birding
37:10Just...
37:11Here
37:17Been here before?
37:19Yeah
37:22Trees are really taking root
37:25They grow a lot
37:28It's a miracle
37:29No
37:30It's time
37:32And work
37:35A lot of it
37:38That's what it takes to recover from destruction
37:43Always
37:44I'm gonna make it right
37:46A couple of rights in a row ain't gonna be enough
37:48You're gonna have to try
37:50Every day
37:51As much as you're able
37:54No shortcuts
37:56No easy way
37:59No running
38:02I know
38:04I want to
38:06You know, uh
38:09Rachel is not the
38:12Only one who believes in you
38:15You
38:16You've come a long way
38:17Already
38:19I see that
38:21I'll walk this path with you as long as you need me
38:25Thank you, Dad
38:40Come in
38:42Hey
38:42Hi
38:46Just stopped by to see how he's doing
38:48Well, I just got him to bed
38:50But he wouldn't eat his dinner
38:53Well, you know, if you're still hungry, there's more Beef Wellington
38:55No, no, no
38:56You think we could just talk?
38:58Yeah
39:04He's never done anything like that before
39:08Something just got into him about that rock climbing and...
39:12Well, I mean, he's craving adventure
39:15It's normal
39:18Do you think I'm holding him back?
39:21You're talking to the guy who wouldn't let Allie go fossil hunting after sunset, so...
39:26I want him to have adventure
39:28Of course you do
39:29I've talked to so many parents about letting their children try things and fail
39:34Letting them be bold
39:36But with LJ...
39:39He can't go away overnight
39:42For him, it's just always gonna be different
39:46And I think he's starting to realize that
39:51You're just keeping him safe
39:54And he knows that
39:56But I want him to see the valley like a hawk
40:00Trust your instincts
40:03You'll know when he's ready to fly
40:05And how
40:10Thank you for understanding
40:14You are always here for me
40:18Elizabeth had dinner tonight
40:20Yeah
40:23Do you think
40:25That we could try again?
40:27Maybe tomorrow?
40:31Yeah
40:33Yeah, of course
40:35Yeah, you must be exhausted
40:49You don't have to do that
40:51Well, I was hoping maybe you were finding your moment
40:58Here, go to bed. I'll finish up
41:01Dad...
41:02Hey, it's okay
41:05We're just like the asters
41:08It's never too late
41:11Goodnight
41:13Goodnight
41:13Goodnight
41:35My name's a good friend
41:36Hyatt
41:36I love you!
41:36...
41:52I love you!
41:56I love you.
41:59Aseas
41:59I love you!
42:00I love you.
