All language subtitles for When Calls the Heart s13e03 Back To School

Previously on When Calls the Heart. The
kids are still out there. 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 Mr.
Coulter. I can't stop thinking about how

fire could have started. You're not
going to have to look any further than A

McGinty.

Looks like the first day of school in
here.

Nathan, the classroom isn't ready.

What are you talking about? I see death,
chalk, a teacher who cares.

You know what?

Maybe this would help.

They're lovely. Thank you. Oh, she's
getting in everywhere.

Here, let me trade you.

Thank you.

straight?

When I look at it like this, it is.

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.

Could be a natural disaster.

Well, I hope your flyers bring you
answers.

Today is going to go off without a
hitch.

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 doctors in Buxton said it would be
quite some time before your father is

released from the hospital.

Too long to be out of school.

Will you at least give it a try?

Feel scratchy.

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. You're doing a great job, but we

can't fix it all in one day, all right?
That flyer's left us with a lot to fix,

right?

Yeah.

Okay, here.

Cheap movie.

All right, honey.

Okay. I love you guys. 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.

Now, I know that change can be hard, but
today is all about a new beginning for

all of us.

Hi, come on in. We'll make space.

The schoolhouse has room for everyone.

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

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.

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

lawyer in Hope Valley. You share an
office with the only practicing lawyer

Hope Valley.

You'll get my bill.

I'm kidding.

I am, though, going to need to find some
place to live. I mean, I can't survive

off of catnaps 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.

Really? Mm -hmm.

How are those insurance claims coming?

Oh, 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

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 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 would really mean
a lot.

We are going to learn so much this year.
We are going to study science.

We'll explore ancient history.

Rupert, is it?

I did an in -depth study of ancient Rome
with an emphasis on Julius Caesar.

Well, that's fascinating.

Et tu, Brute?

You know, the famous quote?

No one's really sure he said that.

Nobody's really sure he didn't.

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, Mommy.

Those flyers are everywhere.

Do you know something?

I don't know.

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

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 Hill's in the bar 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
seat mates and find out one fun thing

about them.

Go!

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.

Oh, my.

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. People, yes.

People work together to build community,
and that's what we're trying to do

here.

Benson Hill students, how can we make
you feel more at home here?

I don't want to feel at home here.

I don't want other people's blankets and
shoes 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.

Yeah.

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

Thank you, everyone.

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 is he was older. White
hair, a limp, looked like a cowboy.

That's McGinty. 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.

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. Oh, and she saw them.

We all know. Lee, we can't arrest them
just because they might match a

description. Or without hard evidence.

And 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, McGinty is at the top of our list.
I'm right about this one.

I am.

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'd 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?

Maybe it was 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.

So tell me, how are you holding up?

Well... At least we have Gwen to keep us
busy.

Actually, Gwen is why I stopped by. Is
she here?

She's upstairs.

Is something wrong?

I'm just delivering some contraband.

Well, this is my grandmother's wedding
silver.

Gwen was carving into her desk with it.

She banned my 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 going to go talk to her right
now about fixing it. 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.

Am I interrupting?

No, not at all.

off to find some screws.

I'll get you something other than cold
coffee.

I'm not hungry.

Yeah, but... 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.

May 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.

No one's going to 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 Mae would be happy to organize
salvage trips to Benson Hills.

We could take a family at a time.

Well, I suppose that might give them
some peace.

You've been watching over me and
everyone since before I could tie my

Why don't you let me watch over you?

Take the afternoon. Go check on your own
place.

My job is here now.

Evening, ma 'am. I wasn't expecting your
company.

Well, I still can't stay for dinner.

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.

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 at school?

It was challenging.

I prepared all these...

Plans and activities and all of them
fell flat.

What's 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.

Okay, there you go.

The snake himself.

Molly, Lee, the man from the park just
walked in. I need to come down here and

make sure it's him.

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

Come on, come on, come on. Pick up, pick
up, pick up.

Oliver, please, is Nathan there?

Well, 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.

It finally feels like home.

We did it.

We would love what we've done here. I
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.

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 trip.

It's amazing.

Molly, yours is three o 'clock.

Is that the man from the park?

I think it's him, but I was clear across
the road.

He's leaving.

Ah, can't wait for Nathan. I'm going to
go in.

Hold it right there, McGinty.

Who are you, Barkeep?

Your beard's flat, by the way. Is it
really?

You know, someone saw you walk into the
forest with a can of kerosene the same

day the fire started.

That's a... Big accusation.

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?

Oh! Oh!

Hey, Lee!

If 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

do anything. Okay, all right. I'm not
out of both of you.

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

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

Possibly. I hear he has a mean right
hook.

Ah, very funny, you two.

I was just staying in my ground, that's
all.

I

know

what you're going to say.

Lee Coulter, what were you thinking?

Yes, I was going to say that. Thank you
for saving me the trouble.

smug face and I... All those years of
work on the

park just 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.

Can't let them get away with it.

McGinty has to pay.

The investigation is not over.

But what if no one's at fault?

What then?

Buyers 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?

It's the guy in the slammer. Yeah,
that's me.

All right.

This incident with McGinty.

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.

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 is Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

I hope Allie really seems to be having a
run on Julius Caesar this week.

Well, Allie wanted to talk to me about
it, but I've never even heard of this

before.

Ah, I see.

Why don't we start with something a bit
more manageable?

Leaves of grass?

Mm -hmm.

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.

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.

Thanks, Mr. 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.

Our pleasure. Our pleasure.

All right, everyone, team up with
someone who you just met yesterday and

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.

It is time for our guest referee to get
going. Can we all say thank you, Mountie

Nathan? 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.

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.

Thank you.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi.

I made your favorite, brownies fresh
from the oven.

Thank you.

I'll get you some milk. Oh, no,
sweetheart. It's very nice of you. I

it, but I just... I could use a couple
minutes by myself.

You didn't have enough minutes in jail?

It's very funny.

Bye, sweetheart.

Sometimes daddy needs a little time to
reflect.

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?

We don't like that.

My dad makes us brownies.

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.

Hey.

Is that for me?

Thank you.

Very nice of you.

Would you like to sit down?

I heard you shoved a guy.

I lost my temper.

It was the wrong thing to do.

Unless he had it coming.

Yeah, yeah.

But... Didn't swallow anything.

Is that a rose?

This is what we woodworkers refer to as
a rosette.

My first one looked like a squash toad.

Would you like to give it a try?

Sure. Okay.

Here you go.

Now, this...

It's very sharp, so be careful, okay?

Oh, no!

I'm just kidding.

Like this?

There we are.

Now, Boast will fill the 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.

Governor!

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

Perfect timing. Here.

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.

Anyway,

Benjamin Camberwell.

Tonight, dinner. He's going to 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.

Fortunately, I'm spoken for tonight.

Ms. Martell and I will be meeting with
fire victims, hearing their issues with

insurance claims.

Ms.

Martell.

Well, just go to dinner long enough to
shake Camberwell's hand and whisper a

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 them

around.

Kill two birds with one dinner.

Dinner. Not dessert.

May I come in to your office?

How was the trip to the burn sites?

Well, folks found a slipper dollar
collection, a wedding ring, pots 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?

Mother and father wanted a boy so
terribly.

And five girls in a row.

But they kept trying.

When Michael came along, it was like the
sun rising.

Mother even hired a photographer.

These photos are all up here now, I
suppose.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

I'm not that 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.

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.

Hi. We're heading to the Canfields 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 Mr. Thorne gave me. Leaves of
Grass.

It's pretty good.

You're reading Walt Whitman?

What can I say?

I contain multitudes.

How was the rest of your afternoon?

Rosemary says it was convinced McGinty
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, McGinty's not pressing
charges.

That's a relief.

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

Treating him like a criminal, it just
feels wrong.

I'm sure he'd rather take responsibility
than have you compromise what's right.

He reflects that in you.

He's protesting me.

Allie and Little Jack are having dinner
with the Canfield.

How about a break?

I can make exactly what I needed.

Me too.

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

I've been so busy keeping everybody up
on their feet. I 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.

That does feel better.

Of course, that field day today didn't
hurt either.

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

Yeah, that's too bad.

You mean that?

Why?

Close your eyes and count to ten.

Why? I didn't think.

Start counting.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

You're supposed to hide.

I know.

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

Yeah.

That's my favorite part anyways.

Well, 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.

Camberwell Hospital.

It's a nice ring to it.

Mr. Camberwell, I've been putting some
thought into the demands of your

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

Sure.

Take it easy, Governor.

I'm not here to be easy, Edwin.

I

cannot

stall anymore.

Looks like the governor talks a good
game.

I hope that's not true.

Why don't we get started?

Yes,

finally. I outbid that insufferable
Ambrose Dromley for a racehorse.

Yes, let's arrange transport now.

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.

Governor.

Boy, hi.

Is everything okay?

You said we could talk anytime?

Of course. Come on in.

Just a little jack is asleep upstairs,
but I have to see.

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.

Mm -hmm.

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.

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.

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.

Scared You aren't alone in this anymore
I promise
