Previously on
When Calls the Heart...

[Minnie] The kids are still
out there!

Mama.

Oh, my baby boy.

[Elizabeth] The fire evacuees

from Benson Hills
will be arriving soon.

You're safe now, sweetheart.

I want my dad.

I'd like to introduce you
to Mrs. Coulter.

I can't stop thinking about how
that fire could have started.

You're not going to
have to look any further

than A.J. MacGinty.

[calm music]

[footsteps approaching]

[chuckles]

Wow. Looks like the first day
of school in here.

Nathan... the classroom
isn't ready.

What are you talking about?

I see desks, chalk.

A teacher who cares.

You know what?

- [gasps]
- Maybe this would help.

They're lovely, thank you.
Oh.

Ash is getting in everywhere.

Here. Let's trade.

Thank you.

[sighs]

Is this thing straight?

Uh...

When I look at it like this,
it is.

[chuckles]

I just feel so off-balance.

You've got a lot coming
at you.

Maybe the students need
more time

before they come back
to school.

I don't know about that.

Allie seemed pretty grateful
to come in today.

I think routine is exactly
what these students need.

Still, some of them
lost everything.

I don't want to just pretend
like things are fine.

You know,

I seem to recall a story

about a teacher
who helped a whole town

get back on their feet
when she first arrived.

Come to dinner tonight.

I'm making lemon curd.

I wish I could.

I really do, but Bill and I are
putting up flyers for tips,

and if anything comes in,
we have to respond right away.

Is it a criminal investigation?

We're not sure yet.

It could be a natural disaster.

Well, I hope your fliers
bring you answers.

Hey.

Today is going to go off
without a hitch.

[thoughtful music]

If you eat it faster,
it won't turn to glue.

Why don't I reheat it?

But first,

I think you'll like this.

Ta da!

I'm not wearing that.

And I'm not going to school
until my dad comes back for me.

Gwen, sweetheart,

the doctor's in Buxton
said it would be quite some time

before your father is
released from the hospital.

It's too long
to be out of school.

Will you at least give it
a try?

Hm?

It feels scratchy.

[footsteps approaching]

You hear that, sweetheart?

Gwen doesn't like
scratchy things.

How about you?
You like scratchy things?

You like--
no, I didn't think so.

Tell you what, kiddo.

You go to school,
you don't have to wear that.

Okay?

All right, let's go.

Leland, I am trying
to do right by that girl.

And you're doing a great job.

But we can't fix it all
in one day, all right?

That fire has left us
with a lot to fix.

Right? Yeah.

Okay. Here.

- Take Goldie.
- All right, honey?

Okay. I love you guys.

- Mmhmm.
- Bye.

Do you like this pink dress?

Welcome, everyone.
Welcome.

Come on in.

Find a seat.

Everyone, make space.

Oh my goodness.

It is wonderful
to see all of you.

Some new faces,

some familiar faces.

My name is Mrs. Thornton,
and I will be your teacher.

And we are going to have
a great year together.

[exhales]

Now, I know that change
can be hard,

but today is all about
new beginnings

for all of us.

Hi. Come on in.
We'll make space.

The schoolhouse
has room for everyone.

[exhales]

[theme music plays]

Mr. Connell, the folks of
Benson Hills have nothing left

but chimneys and rubble,

and you want to charge them
double to haul it away.

Well, unless the price of
business has doubled overnight,

you're exploiting people
during their worst hour.

Section 27 of the Territory
Emergency Relief Act

prohibits price gouging
during a declared disaster.

Fines are in fact
tripled for violations.

Oh, good.

I thought you'd see reason.

You know the law chapter
and verse.

Hm. Statute numbers always make
people shake in their boots.

Well done, counselor.

It's a good thing
I share my office with--

and yes, I'll say it again.

The best lawyer in Hope Valley.

You share an office

with the only practicing lawyer
in Hope Valley.

[chuckles]

[Edie] You'll get my bill.

I'm kidding. [laughs]

I am, though,
going to need to find

some place to live.
I mean, I can't survive

off of cat naps
in your office forever.

Care for a cup of tea?
Keep us going?

Oh, thank you,

but I survived

many a law school
all-nighter without tea.

- [Lucas] Really?
- Mmhmm.

[exhales]

How are those
insurance claims coming?

Slowly. You know the game.

Endless loops,
until folks eventually

just give up
on their claims.

I'm helping them pro bono
to wade through

all the legal jargon
and to document everything.

Well, if there's anything
I can do to help.

Actually, I am hosting
a legal clinic

at the schoolhouse
tomorrow night.

I'm not sure
if you're available.

I would love to come.

You would?

If you think
that I could contribute, yes.

The Governor showing up?
Yes, I do think

that would put those
insurance companies on notice.

I'll do what I can
to pressure them

to streamline
the claims process.

Thank you, Lucas.
That, um...

That would really mean a lot.

[Elizabeth] We are going to
learn so much this year.

We are going to study science,

we'll explore
ancient history.

Uh, Rupert, is it?

I did an in-depth study
of ancient Rome

with an emphasis
on Julius Caesar.

Well, that's fascinating.

Ah! Et tu, Brute?

You know,
the famous quote?

No one's really sure

he said that.

Nobody's really sure

he didn't.

Well, I built a scale model
of the Roman Forum last year,

but, it um...

got lost in the fire.

I am so sorry to hear that.

It sounds very impressive.

Um, why don't we turn
our attention to reading groups?

Have any of you already read
Robinson Crusoe?

Okay.

- Hi, Lee.
- Hey.

Florence asked me to drop
these napkins off for you.

Thank you, Molly.

Those flyers are everywhere.

Do you know something?

I don't know.

Um, maybe it's nothing.

But the day of the fire,
I saw a man go into the park.

He was carrying something.

What?

What was he carrying?

Well, I can't be sure,
but it looked like one of those

cans that kerosene comes in.

I don't want to get anyone
in trouble.

Hold on just a second, Molly.

You saw someone walk
into the park with fuel

the day Benson Hills
and the park burned down,

and you don't want
to speak up?

I said I'm not sure.

What if I'm wrong?

I could never live with myself--

You don't need to be sure.

That is the Mounties' job,
all right?

Let's go.

Come on. Come on.

And it can
take thousands of bees

to make one jar of honey.

Now, who is excited
to learn more about Apiology?

Okay.

Why don't we try something?

Hope Valley students,

please find a seat

next to one of your
Benson Hills neighbors.

Don't be shy.

Let's go.
Let's go.

Thank you very much.

Once you are settled,

talk to your new seatmate

and find out
one fun thing about them.

Go!

[children talking
amongst each other]

Mrs. Thornton?
She won't say anything.

It's all right, Missy.

Who can introduce us
to their new neighbor?

Opal.

This is Gwendolyn,
but she likes Gwen.

[whispers] And

she's carving on her desk.

[scratching]

Oh, my.

Um, how about I hold on
to that for you?

Thank you.

Okay.

Why did I ask you all
to switch seats?

To create community.

Can any of you tell me
what makes community?

- People!
- [Elizabeth] People! Yes!

People work together
to build community.

And that's what
we're trying to do here.

So, Benson Hill students,

how can we make you feel
more at home here?

[Missy] I don't want
to feel at home here.

I don't want
other people's blankets

and shoes, and...

and sad faces.

I just want everything
to go back to normal.

I don't like it here, either.

Me neither.

I want to go home.

- Me too.
- [class clamoring]

[student] Yeah.

[Elizabeth] Of course you do.

And it might just be too soon
for you to feel at home here.

But we can help you

feel safe

and welcome.

And we'll work
on that more tomorrow.

Thank you, everyone.

[rings bell]

And I was bringing cookies
to Jed at his farmhouse,

so I rounded the hill,
and that's when I saw him.

And you're sure it was
a can of kerosene?

I'm not sure.

It looked like
the shape of one.

Kerosene, Nathan.
Kerosene.

Molly, did you see his face?

All I could tell
was he was older.

White hair, a limp.

Um, looked like a cowboy.

That's MacGinty.
Come on!

I really couldn't say
for sure.

I've barely seen the man.

But... maybe.

Thank you, Molly.
This has been very helpful.

Okay.

[Lee] That was great.

So? What are we still
doing here?

Let's go arrest the guy.

Slow down, Lee.

Molly could have
been describing

a dozen men around here.

Come on. She saw him.
We all know.

Lee, we can't arrest somebody
just because they might

match a description.

Or without hard evidence.

We're trying to build a case
here, not rush to judgment.

Look, I've charted
a burn pattern.

We'll check with
some experts in Capital City,

and if it's consistent
with an accelerant,

we'll know if it's arson
in a day or two.

And if it is, I promise you,

MacGinty is at the top
of our list.

I'm right about this one!

I am!

You'll see.

[door slams]

A few minutes
for a civilian?

I can take a break.

How was your first day
of school?

Crowded.

All those poor kids
from Benson Hills.

Yeah.

Most of them are really nice.

There's this one kid, Rupert.

Rupert?
What did he do?

He acted like
ancient Rome's biggest fan.

I said this quote
from Julius Caesar,

and Rupert said it was
historically inaccurate.

Was Rupert there?

[laughs] Maybe
he has a time machine.

What's wrong with
quoting Shakespeare?

Wait. Julius Caesar
was a real person, and a--

A play by
William Shakespeare.

He wrote it for the
Globe Theater in 1599, and...

I'm boring you.

You don't care about things
like that.

I gotta finish
hanging these flyers.

[Elizabeth] So tell me.

How are you holding up?

Well, at least we have Gwen
to keep us busy.

Hmph!

Actually, Gwen
is why I stopped by.

Is she here?

She's upstairs.

Is something wrong?

I'm just delivering
some contraband.

Wha...

This is my grandmother's
wedding silver.

Gwen was carving into her desk
with it.

She vandalized
school property?

With my family heirloom?

It wasn't an easy first day.

Maybe she would be happier
with someone who--

understands her.

Who better?

You're both strong-willed.

I mean that in a nice way.

And you're one of the most

loving people I know.

Well, I'm gonna go talk to her,
right now, about fixing this.

No, no, no.

Not right now.

Perhaps we just
give her some space.

She'll come around.

You should get a fair price
to get that debris cleared away.

So let me know
if there's a problem.

And we'll see you at the legal
clinic tomorrow night?

Don't you worry, ladies.

We are in good hands here.

People are eager
to see you there, Governor.

Thank you for coming.

- I'm happy to help.
- Good.

We need more
emergency relief funds.

Mayor Hickam, I can assure you,
I am putting the screws

to every single bureaucrat
in Capital City.

Well, find more screws, hmm?

Am I interrupting?

No, not at all.

I'm off to find some screws.

Thought you could use something
other than cold coffee.

I'm not hungry.

But since it's here.

How are you doing?

You've been camped
out here for quite a while.

The residents of Benson Hills
need to know where to find me.

And I'm glad
you found a place to work.

But you do need a place
to stay.

Mei and I just finished
fixing up our apartment.

We've got a beautiful
guest room

with fluffy, fluffy pillows.

I don't care for fluff.

And I can't just disappear.

Not even for a night.

People will think
that I've given up.

Maisie, no one's gonna
think that.

You're working yourself
into the ground here.

All people want to do
is go home and see what's left.

And I can't
even do that for them.

I bet the Canfields would
let us borrow their truck,

and Mei would be happy
to organize salvage trips

to Benson Hills.

We could take

a family at a time.

I suppose that
might give them some peace.

You've been watching
over me and everyone

since before
I could tie my shoes.

Why don't you let me
watch over you?

Take the afternoon.

Go check on your own place.

My job is here now.

[exhales]

[Allie giggling]

[Nathan] Evening, ma'am.

[Elizabeth] I wasn't expecting
your company.

Well, I still
can't stay for dinner,

but I have a few minutes
before I have to be back.

Does that mean
you have a lead?

We're zeroing in on one,
yeah.

Are you okay?

It's just the idea that
somebody could start a fire

like that deliberately.

I guess this is one time
I hope you're wrong.

How was your first day
of school?

Oh, it was challenging.

I prepared all of these plans
and activities,

and all of them
fell flat.

It's not your average
first day.

Oh. Would you look at that?

A ball and some grass...

and that fire feels
a million miles away.

At least for a few moments.

Yeah, I guess we could all use
a little bit of that right now.

[chuckles]

Okay. There you go.

[ominous music]

The snake himself.

[clears throat]

Molly, it's Lee.

The man from the park
just walked in.

I need you to come down here
and make sure it's him.

Oh, and uh, put me through
to the jail first, please.

Come on, come on, come on.

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

Oliver, it's Lee.
Is Nathan there?

The second he gets in,
you make sure

he comes down to the saloon
to see me, all right?

Okay, bye.

- Okay, down.
- One, two, three.

- [groans]
- Oh!

[both exhale]

This finally feels like home.

We did it.

Maisie would love
what we've done here.

I just don't understand

why she doesn't want
to stay with us.

You know, she's always been
this difficult.

When I was eight,
I was so excited to set up

a lemonade stand.

She told me
I was doing it all wrong.

So she set up one right next
door to show me how it's done.

- [chuckles]
- She was 26.

Maybe...

it's a blessing that Maisie
doesn't want to stay with us.

She's my sister.

You don't have to worry
about this.

Yes, I do.

We're in this mess together.

That's what families do.

Some families.

Maisie doesn't really handle
change well.

She's not some
wild woman like you.

Scooching sofas willy-nilly.

And thanks again
for agreeing

to run the salvage trips.

It's for Maisie.

[pub chatter]

Molly. Yours 3:00.

Is that the man
from the park?

I- I think it's him,

but I was clear across
the road.

He's leaving.

Ah! I can't wait for Nathan.
I'm gonna go in.

Hold it right there, MacGinty.

For you, barkeep.

[coins clatter]

Your beer is flat,
by the way.

Is it really?

You know,

someone saw you walk
into the forest

with a can of kerosine
the same day the fire started.

That's a big accusation.

Mmhmm.

Your trees
go up in smoke,

and suddenly it's the old guy
who's got nothing to lose.

Oh, come on, you hated
the park from day one.

Doesn't mean
I'd burn it down.

Though, turning perfectly good
land over to tourists

is almost the same thing,
Mr. Coulter.

It's Mayor Coulter,
don't forget that.

And as if you'd understand
anything about leaving

something for
the next generation.

You mean for your
drooling toddler?

[groans]

Oh!

Hey! Lee!

You saw it!

That man attacked me!

I want him arrested.

Or is the mayor
above the law?

Come on, Nathan,
he was running his mouth

and then he walked
into me.

- I didn't do any--
- Okay, all right!

Enough out of
both of you!

Lee.

I don't have a choice.
You have to come with me.

Fine.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well,

would you feel safer
if I put him in the cuffs?

Possibly. I hear
he has a mean right hook.

Ha, ha.
Very funny, you two.

I was just standing
my ground, that's all.

Mmhmm.

[laughs]

I know what you're
gonna say.

"Lee Coulter,
what were you thinking?"

Yes, I was gonna say that.

Thank you for saving me
the trouble.

I just-- I saw that smug face,
and I...

[sighs]

Are all those years
of work on the park just

[poof]
up in smoke.

You're angry.

I am so angry.

I'm angry too.

But when I look at those
poor folks from Benson Hills.

Lee, they've lost everything.

We have to count our blessings.

I can't let him get away
with it.

MacGinty has to pay.

The investigation
is not over.

But...

what if no one's at fault?

What then?

Fires don't just start.

We don't know anything.

But here's what I do know.

We will get past this
and rebuild.

And you know why?

Because you, Lee Coulter,

can do anything
you put your mind to.

How did I get so lucky
to have you in my life, huh?

Says the guy
in the slammer.

Yeah. That's me.

[chuckles]

All right.

This incident with MacGinty.

What time did it happen,
exactly?

And were there any witnesses?

Am I talking to my wife,
or a reporter?

You're married to both,
sweetheart.

- Mm.
- So?

No comment.

Good morning, Oliver.

Oh, Mrs. Thornton, I--

It's nice to see you in here
so early.

You're very focused.
What are you reading?

Oh, this? It's, uh,

Shakespeare's
"Julius Caesar".

Hope Valley really seems
to be having a run

on Julius Caesar this week.

Well...

Allie wanted to talk
to me about it,

but I'd never even
heard of this before.

Ah, I see.

Why don't we start
with something

a bit more manageable.

A-ha!

- Leaves of Grass ?
- Mmhmm.

It's more contemporary.

Mr. Whitman finds
the poetry in the everyday.

It's just plain language, but...

he lifts it up.

I'm still not sure
I'm the poetry type.

And what exactly
is "the poetry type"?

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we meet at the
schoolhouse one morning a week,

and we can have our own
little poetry study group.

- You'd do that?
- Of course!

We'll have you working up
to Shakespeare in no time.

"Therefore,

"our everlasting
farewell take

"forever and forever.

"Farewell."

Farewell.

I'm starting to get
the hang of this.

- [laughs]
- Thanks, Mrs. Thornton.

Oh, hello, everyone!
Welcome.

Good morning, good morning.

Gather 'round.

Today is the greatest field
day in Hope Valley history!

And you can thank
Mountie Nathan and Little Jack

for this incredible
obstacle course!

[cheering and applause]

Our pleasure, our pleasure.

All right, everyone,
team up with someone

who you just met yesterday

and form two lines
right over there.

You can leave your bags here.

Let's go, little man.

Come on, partner.

All right, just follow our lead.

Ready... set...
Let the games begin!

[blows whistle]

[Elizabeth]
Go, go, go!

[upbeat, jaunty music]

[cheering]

Quick, quick, quick!
They're beating us!

♪♪

♪♪

Come on!

Go, go, go, go, go!

You did it!

♪♪

Well, it is time for our
guest referee to get going.

Can we all say
"thank you, Mountie Nathan"?

[class] Thank you,
Mountie Nathan.

You're welcome, kids.
Great job out there.

Cooper. Toby.

Will you join us, please?

Thank you.

So yesterday we talked about
what makes a community.

Now, if we had to pick

one word that described
what makes a community,

what would it be?

Trust?

Trust. I like that.

We learned how to trust
one another.

Now that we have
one another's trust,

we aren't alone.

All right, everyone,
let's head inside and clean up.

Boys, may I have a moment?

You seemed awful quiet today.

We're sorry if we weren't

good community members today,
Mrs. Thornton.

No, no, you don't
have to apologize.

What you've been through...
it must have been very scary.

It's worse for other people.

Well, I'm always here
if you need to talk.

Anytime.

- Thanks.
- Thanks.

[pensive music]

[gasps] Lee!

- Hi, sweetheart.
- Oh!

Awe, hi.

I made your favorite,

brownies fresh from the oven.

Oh. Thank you.

[smooch]

I'll get you some milk.

Oh, no, sweetheart.
It's very nice of you.

I appreciate it, but I just...

[sighs] I could use
a couple minutes by myself.

You didn't have enough minutes
in jail?

- That's very funny.
- Mmm.

Bye, sweetheart.

Sometimes daddies need
a little time to reflect.

[door opens, closes]

Gwen! How was school?

We went outside.

I liked it.

What did you do outside?

I know, would you like to have
one of these brownies?

Well, uh-- [giggles]

My dad makes us brownies.

Oh, well, I'm sure his
are much better than mine.

But...

they are pretty good.

Actually, on second thought,

would you mind taking this
to the backyard to Mr. Coulter?

I think he'd appreciate it.

[door closes]

Hey.

Oh, is that for me?

Thank you.
Very nice of you.

Would you like to sit down?

Mm.

I heard you shoved a guy.

[chuckles]

I lost my temper.

It was the wrong thing to do.

Unless he had it coming.

Yes, yes.

But...

It didn't solve anything.

Is that a rose?

This is what we woodworkers
refer to as a "rosette".

My first one
looked like a squashed toad.

[laughs]

Would you like to give it a try?

- Sure.
- Okay.

There you go.

Now, this is very sharp,
so be careful, okay?

Oh, no!

I'm just kidding.

- [Gwen] Like this?
- [Lee] Yep. Just like that.

[gentle music]

There we are.

Enough oats to fill
a pantry for a few more days.

Oh, and I tucked
some tea in there, too.

Thank you, Governor.

And thank you for coming
to tonight's meeting.

You know, that insurance company
is denying my claim

because a part of my porch
is still standing?

Their games are going
to come to an end,

I promise you that.

Thank you.

[Edwin] Governor!

I've got some news
you're going to like.

Perfect timing. Here.

[grunts]

Can you pass that
to Mr. Hanley, please?

Where is a photographer
when you need one?

This would be
a perfect photo-op.

That's exactly why I don't
have one.

Yeah.

Anyway, Benjamin Camberwell.

Tonight. Dinner.
He's gonna be in town.

What's he doing in Hope Valley?

Doesn't he have a railroad
to run?

I persuaded him
to make a detour.

He's overseeing the national
railway unification.

And, if you back his project,

he will back you with
a sizable donation.

And, more importantly,
his endorsement.

Unfortunately,
I'm spoken for tonight.

Miss Martell and I will be
meeting with fire victims,

hearing their issues
with insurance claims.

[small laugh]

Miss Martell.

Uh, well, just go to dinner
long enough to shake

Camberwell's hand and whisper
a few sweet nothings.

Camberwell's employees
are striking.

Is it really a good idea for me
to align myself with him

when he's in the middle
of a labor dispute?

All the more reason
to meet with him.

Advocate for the workers,
turn him around.

Kill two birds with one dinner.

Dinner. Not dessert.

[knocking]

May I come in to your office?

How was the trip
to the burn sites?

Well, folks found a silver
dollar collection,

uh, a wedding ring,

Pots and pans, and...

and some goats,
which was a miracle.

The residents of Benson
Hills appreciate your help.

And I stopped
at your house, too.

Oh?

I know you didn't ask me to,

but I found something

that you might want
to have.

Where your mantle used to be.

A photograph of Mikey.

Baby Mikey.

You kept a picture
of baby Mike?

Ah. Mother and father
wanted a boy so terribly.

They had five girls in a row.

[chuckles]
But they kept trying.

When Michael came along...

It was like the sun rising.

Mother even hired
a photographer.

Well, these photos are all
up here now, I suppose.

- I'm so sorry.
- Don't be.

I'm not the sentimental type.

Nothing wrong if you are.

When I married Mike,
I didn't just get a husband.

I got five sisters.

You can lean on us.

[stutters] I'm- I'm fine.
Really.

I'm just, um...
I'm just... I'm tired.

Stay with us.

Please?

One sister to another.

Oliver!

Hi, Little Jack.

- Want some?
- Sure.

[laughs]

Hi. Um...

we're heading to
the Canfield's for dinner.

I bet they wouldn't mind
one more at the table.

I don't want to impose.

They would love your company.

I would too.

Well, I wouldn't turn down
a home cooked meal.

And good conversation.

Good job, buddy.

"True eloquence lies in
the plain, easy, spontaneous

"conversation I sometimes have
with one or two people."

What's that from?

This book Mrs. Thornton
gave me, Leaves of Grass .

It's pretty good.

You're reading Walt Whitman?

What can I say?

I contain multitudes.

[Elizabeth] How was the rest
of your afternoon?

Rosemary says
that Lee is convinced

MacGinty started the fire.

How do you feel?

Let's just say that
we have a witness

that may have seen something,

but not a solid lead yet.

Luckily for Lee, MacGinty
is not pressing charges.

That's a relief.
-Mm.

Lee...

he's not only my friend, but
he's a pillar of the community.

Treating him like a criminal,
it just...

it feels wrong.

I'm sure he'd rather
take responsibility

than have you
compromise what's right.

He respects that in you.

This case is testing me.

Allie and Little Jack are having
dinner with the Canfields.

How about a break?

This is exactly what I needed.

Me too.

It's been one thing after
another since the fire.

You've been so busy keeping
everybody up on their feet,

you haven't had a minute's rest.

Neither have you.

My students are overwhelmed.

Everyone's overwhelmed.

Well, what would
you tell them then?

I would tell them to stop

and take a breath.

[inhales, exhales]

That does feel better.

Of course, that field day

today didn't hurt either.

[laughs]

It's too bad there's no
field day for grown-ups.

Yeah, it's too bad.

You mean that?

Why?

Close your eyes
and count to ten.

What?

Hide and seek.

Start counting.

[laughs]

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Te--

You're supposed to hide.

I know.

I thought I'd just skip
to the being found part.

Yeah?

That's my favorite part,
anyways.

[gentle music]

Of course, when we rebuild
Benson Hills in record time,

under Governor Bouchard's
guidance,

we can find a building or two
to put your name on.

[Edwin] "Camberwell Hospital".

It's a nice ring to it.

[Lucas] Mr. Camberwell.
I've been...

putting some thought into
the demands of your workers.

If you'll excuse me,
I have a call to make.

[laughs] Sure.

Take it easy, Governor.

I'm not here to be easy, Edwin.

I cannot stall any more.

Looks like the Governor
talks a good game.

I hope that's not true.

Why don't we get started?

Mmhmm.

[sighs]

[Camberwell] Yes. Finally.

I outbid that insufferable
Ambrose Dromley for a racehorse.

Ah, yes. Let's arrange
transport now.

Just five more minutes--

I trust you'll explain

that I keep my promises
to my constituents.

If I leave now,
I can just make it.

Good luck with your pony.

Gov-- Governor.
[laughs nervously]

[panting]

[knocking]

Boys. Hi.

Is everything okay?

You said we could talk anytime.

Of course. Come on in.

Just shh. Little Jack
is asleep upstairs.

Why don't you have a seat?

[Elizabeth sighs]

What would you like
to talk about?

The other day,

we went out with Allie and Opal
to lay down trail markers

for the new park opening.

Mmhmm.

Thought we'd split up
to cover more ground.

But we were hungry,

so we stopped to have some stew
for lunch.

Okay.

With just a small cooking fire.

It wasn't even lit very long.

We did everything Bill taught
us about putting campfires out.

Even buried the embers
and waited.

But what if
we didn't do it right?

What if we were
responsible for...

Starting the fire.

What if we get in trouble?

How are we going to tell
our parents?

Okay, stop.

Let's take a breath.

[inhale and exhale]

I am really glad you two came
to me with this.

When you said
communities need trust...

We knew we had to tell
the truth.

Well, that was very brave.

I don't feel brave,
Mrs. Thornton.

I'm scared.

You aren't alone
in this anymore.

I promise.
