Clean slate.

New country. New life.

Mr. Jerry Duncan.

The nation's worst teacher.

It's even crazier the tense time I watch it. What a mess.

How do you recover from this?

Morning. Apparently by pretending nothing ever happened. What are you

here, Jerry? Come on. I'm two minutes late. I'm going to grab a coffee and

I'm going to head back to class. Relax, boss. No, you shouldn't be here.

You shouldn't be here, Bobby, because you have a newborn at home.

My God, Jerry, I'm talking about the expose from last night.

My TV special? You don't buy that.

There's no credible sources for that. We were their sources.

Jerry?

In my office. Now.

Okay. I gotta go teach, so unfortunately, I can't go to your office

she's getting mad at me for being late. But see ya. Then let's get this out of

the way right here. You're fired.

I'm... Fired?

For what?

For what?

Insider's look, maybe?

Are we still talking about this stupid special?

Everyone's talking about it. That's the point.

All right, smarty pants, and who's gonna take over my phys ed classes if you

fire me on the spot?

No, Edmund is way easier. Thank you.

I'll do it.

You're pregnant?

Seven months. I just started showing today.

Thank you, Mr. D. Congratulations.

Thank you.

I'm Mr.

D. And you think I'm that replaceable?

That a pregnant librarian is going to replace me? You can't even bounce a

Well, I'll have you know, I was a rhythmic gymnast on the national team. I

almost went to the Olympics.

Oh, shut up. You did not.

Okay, I am so sick of this.

You've embarrassed me. You've embarrassed this school.

Worse than that, you've embarrassed yourself.

If that's the way you feel, and you want to believe this garbage, then I don't

want to work with any of you either. I will get a job where I'm appreciated.

Good luck with that, nation's worst teacher.

Mr. Malik, escort him off the premises.

I do security now.

I will say this, Robert. When you come crawling back on my doorstep, you will

too late.

Remember that.

Don't screw up all my great phys ed students, Mary Lou Retton.

Mary Lou Retton was an artistic gymnast.

I'm rhythmic.

Dummy.

I'm awesome.

No, you're not, dude. Don't lie.

I'm awesome. I'm driving around in my mom's ride. I'm awesome. A quarter of my

life gone by.

I'm awesome. Don Blue called from the board of directors. They've requested an

emergency meeting for tomorrow.

See, that's why you always stay one step ahead of the board, because when they

ask me if I fired Jerry, I'll be able to say, already taken care of. You're the

real hero.

Listen, it's Don Blue's 70th birthday tomorrow, and everyone on the board is

doing a blue theme, and they think you should, too.

Well, that's fun.

Congrats on phys ed. Oh!

Well, thank you. That's very nice. It'll be good to stop pushing this cart

around.

I had no idea you were a competitive gymnast. You know what they say. You

have the body for rhythmic gymnastics or you don't have the body for rhythmic

gymnastics.

I actually knew a girl on the national team around the same time.

Now you know, too.

Nancy Slater, do you know her?

Nancy Slater? Oh, does that name take me back?

Bendy Bone Slater. Oh, Nancy, yeah.

Small world.

Yeah, it really is. It must have been so exciting to compete at that level. Can

I tell you something?

It's the time of my life.

I'm not sure we're looking for any teachers at this time, but I could see

have a need.

That'd be great.

Are you an Anabaptist? I'm in the process of converting, yes.

And why are you leaving your current school?

Oh, gosh.

Technology. Cell phones, whiteboards, internet. Too much for the kids to

And in my religion... Sorry, I forgot where I was. In our religion.

Didn't feel like the right place for me anymore.

iPad.

Not sure you should have that.

Oh.

Oh, what?

Hello.

Great.

So you use technology when it's convenient for you.

See you later.

May the peace of Christ be with you. Yeah, I'd love Christ to be with me

now. I'd love somebody to be with me.

Doesn't look like anybody's going to hire me because of my special.

I think they're not hiring you because you are special.

Thanks, pal.

I mean, every teacher does those things. They're usually just not filmed doing

it. You know what I think you should do?

You should just go far, far away where no one could possibly recognize you. Do

what? You're a teacher. Teach ESL.

Extra special learning?

English. That's the second language? Yeah.

Not a bad idea.

I've always thought of taking it to Australia.

Yeah. I have the distance correct, but they already speak English there. I was

thinking you could go to Jamaica.

Jamaica, mon.

I like it, mon.

Japan.

Japan.

Come with me, Bill. Come with me. We'll eat sushi.

We'll watch the sunset on the other side of the world. I don't want to do any of

those things.

But I will help you pack.

You know, and if we get going fast, we can probably get you out of here first

thing in the morning.

Those e -mail jobs are getting snapped up, I bet.

I'm going to miss you, Bill.

Robert, we've watched insiders look, and we have some concerns.

I did too, Miss Cabot, which is why you'll be pleased to hear that I've

fired Mr. Duncan.

No, hire him back immediately.

Good one, Mr. Blue.

What is this, Prank Robert Day?

First Trudy and now you?

That documentary made us all look terrible. If the parents believe it,

nightmare. Firing Mr.

Duncan would be admitting that everything the documentary said is true.

to claim that documentary with fake news and deny the whole thing. Which means

you've got to get Duncan back here right away so we can make a big show of

support for him.

If you don't, we go to plan B.

What's plan B?

Say it's your fault and fire you.

And fix your hair. You look like an idiot.

It's just kind of a funny story. Trudy said we were all going to do something

blue for Mr.

Blue.

But I blew it.

Jerry?

Robert? Hello, Bill?

I haven't seen you since the... Involuntary colonoscopy, you mean?

I have to talk to Jerry, and he's not answering his phone. His phone is

on airplane mode. Why would it be on airplane mode? He's on an airplane.

Why? He's going to Japan.

What for?

I think it had something to do with getting fired and then blacklisted, and

sure hates you a lot, so I suggested Japan.

Bill, this is important.

Do you know where he's staying?

No clue, bud.

I could lose my job over this, okay? So any information you have, now is a great

time to share.

Okay, well, Japan's expensive, and Jerry doesn't have any money, and before he

left, he watched Hostel 1 and Hostel 2, so he's probably at a hostel.

Ah, perfect.

Well, then all I have to do is just wait till he lands in Japan, and I will try

him on his phone again.

I know Jerry's too cheap to pay roaming, and he's definitely not paying roaming

to talk to you. He was very clear about never speaking to you again.

It came up a lot. Did he say anything about seeing me?

Konichiwa. Yuki. Yuki.

Konichiwa, Jerry.

Jerry.

I don't want to bang heads.

Um, I speak English.

Oh, perfect.

Then do you know any schools around here looking to hire a teacher?

Well, not really, but I do have a cousin who's looking for an English tutor,

private. I will do that.

And they will pay me.

Oh, my gosh. That's awesome.

Oh, my God. I love Japan.

I will text her your number. Yeah. I'm not using my phone.

Roaming. Too expensive.

No job right now. You text your cousin and then come get me in cell block 19. I

will do that. Whatever they need. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Konnichiwa.

Konnichiwa. Oh, the food here. Yes.

Not great.

Too raw.

I'm looking for chicken fingers.

Veal parmesan, nookie. Sorry. Nookie, the little pasta. I don't know.

Could you Google it? I'm sorry. Okay,

I'm going to go.

That's it. It's like texting. When do you go?

There you are.

After a little chat yesterday, I called Nancy for a little catch -up.

Oh, well, that's nice. How is the old bag?

She's great. Funny thing, though, is that she has no recollection of any Emma

being on the rhythmic gymnastics team. All those concussions must have done a

real number on poor Nancy's memory.

Yeah. It's a shame. I don't think that's it.

Okay, well, what are you trying to say, something?

But I googled your name and nothing came up with regard to gymnastics.

But, you know, it's fine. Don't worry about it. It's kind of ridiculous. I

you're implying something.

I think that you're trying to say, I don't know if I'm a liar.

It's not a big deal.

No, I think it is a big deal. You want to see the routine that almost got me

into the Olympics?

You're really pregnant. I think we're going to have to wait until the... Well,

that's not holding me back from nothing.

I still got all my moves.

I still got my ribbon twirls.

I can still put my legs up over my head. I'm not going to do it now because I

have a dress on.

Tomorrow. In the gym, though.

Biatch.

Mr. Matsumoto, Yuki's friend.

I'm here to teach your girls.

Mr. Duncan, we are so lucky to have you.

I'm lucky to have you because I'm broke.

Sora, Emiko, come here.

Hi. Come here.

Hi, girls.

Hello. Hello.

Bye -bye. Now? Yes, ready to start.

Oh,

nice. Japanese writing.

Do you know what that means?

Like a

spa.

Like a spa.

Can't wait to start.

Start. Chicken fingers?

Yes, Yuki -san said you like. I love chicken fingers. I love Japan.

Okay, cold.

Cold chicken. Cold chicken.

Say chicken.

Chicken. Hi, I'm hoping you can tell me. I've been to 15 hospitals today.

Have you seen this man?

Yes, Mr. Duncan.

Nice man.

Yeah? Yes. Yeah. Yes.

Thank you so much.

Oh.

Anyway, where?

you will be very happy.

Now, girls.

We love Mr.

Duncan.

Bye. Amazing.

Thank you.

You are a gift to our family, Mr. Duncan.

No, you are a gift to me. I have never been so happy. Thank you.

My husband and I want you to stay and teach our daughters every

day. Please, You stay guest room full time, please.

Shut up, Mrs. Matsumoto. Shut up.

You refuse?

I'm sorry. No, you're sure.

I accept.

I accept.

Yes, yes, yes. A thousand yeses. Yes? Okay?

It's finally coming together. It's finally coming together.

Okay.

I get the door. I get the door. You congratulate your girls.

What are you doing here? Tokyo, my God, I found you.

Jerry, I need you to come back.

You flew here to say that to me? What was I supposed to do? I tried calling

two dozen times, went right to voicemail, text not delivered.

I just panicked. Oh, yeah, I wonder why that is. Because I got fired and I don't

have money for roaming charges.

They don't have Wi -Fi here? Pretty sure I don't speak Japanese yet and know how

to pop in the little things, the characters. Use your head.

I knew this would happen. I knew you'd come crawling back.

Hear me out.

Jerry, I made a terrible mistake, okay? I talked to the board, and they agreed

with me that you should never have been fired because of insider luck.

You're a valuable member of our Xavier family.

I have only been here for one day. I've already been given a full -time job by

the Matsumoto family. I've been given a place to stay. I also only have to teach

two students, who, by the way, both love me.

In Japanese.

They love me in Japanese.

If you don't come back, I'll lose my job.

Konnichiwa, Robert.

That means hello.

There's my family.

This is Matsumoto. I love coffee in the morning, and I hate to say it, but

you're out of coffee. Could you run down to the supermarket?

Into Mr.

Jerry Duncan.

The nation's... Worst teacher.

Worst teacher.

What are you watching? You have embarrassed me. You have embarrassed the

Matsumoto family. And worst of all, you have embarrassed yourself.

So what are you saying?

You are fired.

So I can't stay in the guest room?

Mr. Duncan?

Yeah? My kimono, please.

This is it.

It's not your husband's kimono. Why am I wearing a girl's kimono?

I can eat you up.

Forever.

Thanks for coming.

This is exciting.

I'm just a fan of the rhythmic gymnastics.

More the merrier.

Okay.

You ready?

Oh, yeah.

All right.

What

the

hell is this?

He was lying about being a rich gymnast, and you're my witness.

Not great.

I knew it.

You believe me now,

Lisa?

You made her do that? I didn't make her do anything. She said she was a rhythmic

gymnast 20 years ago, and she's pregnant.

Oh, my. That is dark, even for me. Yikes. Mm -hmm. Yikes. You're a terrible

person. You monster.

So what's the update?

The good news is I did manage to track down Mr. Duncan in Tokyo, of all places.

The less good news is that he is, uh... walking in the room.

Sorry to interrupt. Don't know who you are.

Robert, felt bad about what you said. Didn't want you to lose your job, so I

quit my job in Japan.

And I want to start back today.

Just wanted to let you know I'm back.

Jerry, your timing is great because I was just telling the board that you're

back. Speaking of board, I gotta go.

Welcome back. Thank you. Won't you join us?

Okay. Yeah. Well, I never sat in on a board meeting.

What do you guys do?

We'd like to apologize for the horrible way you've been treated.

Yeah, good. Thank you.

Now that you're back, we'd like to show you just how much we truly believe in

you. Okay, show me. Go ahead. We'd like to promote you to principal of Xavier

Academy.

Is this a joke?

Funny. Is this a joke?

Congratulations, Mr. Duncan.

It's not a joke.

It's not a joke.

Oh, my Lord.

Wow.

I did not see this coming.

Principal of Xavier Academy.

If you accept.

Of course, why wouldn't I accept?

Everyone wants to be principal.

That's the top.

You do nothing after that. Just cruise to retirement.

Pass everything off to the vice... You're fired, by the way, speaking of

Actually, Mr. Cheely will be joining Mr.

Dwyer as co -vice principals.

Come on!

Oh, principal.

Do I even have to come in? Can't I just work from home?

No, your office.

Okay.

I am principal of Xavier Academy.

I gotta go tell Bill, my roommate.

You couldn't just give him his old job back? We told you, we have to discredit

Insider's look. So to show how wrong they were and how much we trust Duncan,

we're doubling down on him to save the school's reputation.

Are we going to have a problem?

No.

Can't believe how soft these things are.

Super soft.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

And thanks for not renting my room out when I was gone.

Oh, yeah. I tried.

And I'm tired right now, so I'm going to take tomorrow off. A little jet

-lagged. Get a little sleep in.

It's your first day as principal.

You should probably show up. Yeah, first day here.

I already worked in Japan, because it's tomorrow.

So I'm not going to work two days in one day.

See what I'm saying? Because they're ahead.

Yeah. Hey.

Good to be back, buddy.

Konnichiwa.

Hello?

Hello.
