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