Honestly uh, everything looks good on paper.

But?

Well, how do I say this?

These particular kids have a knack

for chewing teachers up and spitting 'em out.

Oh, I'm not easily intimidated.

Right.

Let me guess.

You want to educate fertile minds, right?

No, I know all the pat answers, okay, so tell me.

Why?

I need the insurance.

Whew.

You must need insurance bad.

Look, listen.

I mean I know the other history teachers didn't fare well.

No, nor the one before her.

But I won't let you down.

I won't let you down.

I'm spread thin, and I cannot do a lot of hand-holding.

Oh, no, that's not necessary.

I'm not afraid.

You should be.

I'll be fine.

Mmhmm.

Why are you so hell bent on this?

Mommy!

My Mommy.

Hi.

Unfortunately Pam,

What is it?

I'm seeing a relapse with your son.

So the surgery's not working?

Club feet can have a natural tendency to recur.

I'm recommending another major reconstruction.

This time, held with wire fixation across the foot.

I'm sorry, he's just getting over the other one.

Can I take a couple days to think about it?

Take as long as you need, but not too long.

Thanks Doc.

You're welcome.

♪ Ain't nothin' gonna stop me ♪

So who's teaching this class, anyway?

Some new guy, I heard.

I hope he knows the drill.

I thought Dillon was supposed to be in this class?

I heard he was still in juvie.

No, I heard he got tried as an adult

and got 10 to 20 at Riverbend.

For the bar fight?

No, he killed his foster parents.

Well then he wouldn't be in school then, would he?

Boy genius.

Man, I'm just repeating what I heard, okay?

Hello, people of Paris!

I'm sorry I'm late.

Home period, U.S. History.

Apparently the classrooms across the street flooded,

so Math, Science is at the Grange,

English Lit at First Baptist,

History is here at KOA Campground

so if that's not what you're supposed to be here for,

now is your chance to slip out with a shred of dignity.

Uh, my name is Ms. Hoog--

Hog?

I know that that is unfortunate,

but my ancestors were Dutch.

I bet you think with a name like Hoog

I didn't have very many boyfriends in high school.

Oh, I thought it's 'cause you're unattractive

and have a lazy eye.

I did, though, uh, well one.

I married my high school sweetheart,

and I have an 18 month old baby boy named Caleb.

History is my favorite subject, so uh,

I bet I can make it real fun and interesting for you all

if you would just gimme a chance.

- Fat chance. - Yeah, okay.

Anyhoo, if you're in here

you're probably here for one of two reasons.

A, you're in band ,

and you're trying to get history outta the way

so you can take a second elective,

or B, you still need to pass history,

for whatever reason.

At any rate, it's super duper early

and I'm sure you all don't wanna be here

any more than I do.

Um, so.

Um, Ms., I'm sorry, could you not talk while I'm talking?

I do what I want.

Excuse me?

I do what I want?

Oh yeah she does.

And you are?

Who wants to know?

Well, me.

I would like to know, uh, why you're being disrespectful.

Have I been disrespectful to you in some way?

You're disrespecting me right now.

Ooh!

Right, okay.

So this is not gonna work

if you're talking when I'm teaching.

Oh, oh I, is that what you were doing?

Burn!

I'd prefer it if you talk before class with your friends,

or after, just not during.

That goes for everybody.

Yeah, okay.

I'm sorry, where are you going?

I didn't dismiss.

I gotta pee, or would you have me go on the floor?

Again, I'd rather you go before or after,

but if it's an emergency--

Oh it is.

Okay.

I gotta go pee too.

Okay, well you're just gonna have to wait

until she gets back.

But it's an emergency.

You can wait.

You let her go, but you won't let me go?

That's sexist!

I can't have a mass exodus.

Well, guess I'm just gonna have to go pee here.

What?

Um, I...

Uncool, man.

Zip it up.

Why don't you

zip it up for me, Eagle Scout?

Badge of Honor, Star of Light boy.

I'd be glad to.

I have my knife requirement, I hope you have yours.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, okay.

Thank you for joining us.

This is U.S. History in case you were wondering.

I'm Ms. Hoog.

Does anyone know the name of the girl

who went to the bathroom and just did not come back?

Zoey.

Okay just stay in your seats.

Scared yet?

Shaking.

Put the knife away,

you wanna get kicked out the first day?

Won't be the first time.

All right.

Thank you.

All right, so, if everyone could open their books

to page um...

To page...

God, that's so strange.

Has anyone seen a blue-gray folder?

It had my lesson plans in it.

Where are my car keys?

And my lesson plan, I,

did,

one of you take my lesson plan and my car keys?

Are you kidding?

Really?

No?

Nobody?

I must'a done something to justify this, huh?

I must'a been horribly cruel.

What'd I do?

No?

No one's gonna say anything.

All right, well then if ,

that's the way you wanna play it,

everyone will be responsible for the actions of one.

Open your books to pa,

Chapter One.

Please.

Chapter One.

Yeah?

I can open your car for you.

You got a coat hanger?

How was your day?

Honestly?

Horrible.

Probably my last.

I don't think that I'll be going back, so...

Oh, Pam.

Nothin' about any class I've ever had

could've prepared me for this.

I mean I swear to you I was under attack

the second I walked in the door.

They were just testing you.

Yeah well I failed, so--

Trust me, it gets better.

I had a rowdy class or two back in the day.

Mm-Mm.

No, no, not like this one.

There ain't nothin' new under the sun, honey.

Mm-Mm, this is new.

I'm telling you, in your day the students

woulda been beaten, incarcerated, uh, expelled.

Now the kids expel us.

You gotta keep their attention.

I can't keep their attention,

I can't even get their attention.

Well what about Caleb?

What're you gonna do for insurance?

I don't know.

Flip burgers, scrub toilets, pay cash.

Well how much do you have in the bank?

Not much.

I could tell you exactly how much.

Oh, I bet they stole my bank statements, too.

Uh oh.

Uh oh what?

Mystery solved.

Well maybe that's a sign.

Yeah, to drive as far away as possible.

Um, could I have everybody's attention?

Please.

First of all, I wanna apologize.

I found my keys,

and I feel like a real jerk for jumping to conclusions.

Secondly, I think we have established

that it's super duper early and nobody wants to be here.

That being said, we can make the worst of this,

and the next couple weeks will drag by

or we can make the best of it

and the next few weeks will fly by.

I really wanna prove to you guys

that history can be interesting.

I wanna try something different today.

You!

Haven't seen the keys.

What's your name?

Me?

Yeah.

Um, Clark.

Kent.

Superman, okay.

What do you wanna be when you grow up?

Well, I would like to take over the family business.

Entrepreneur, all right.

You.

What's your name?

Jaime Lynn.

Goody Good.

What do you wanna be?

Maybe a doctor or a lawyer or a professor?

Brown noser.

Noble, all.

Oh, congressman.

Maybe president.

President of what, Weight Watchers?

No.

I think it's ambitious.

Um, undecided.

That's fair enough.

All right, you?

Me?

Yes, you.

Nothing.

Oh wait, ruler of the universe.

That's also ambitious.

Veterinarian.

Or medium!

Interesting.

Rocket scientist.

And I didn't forget you.

Uh, also undecided.

But I plan to marry for money and adopt a buttload of kids.

Noble, I think.

And you all the way in the back?

I didn't hear you, what was that?

He said "win the lottery."

I would like to change my answer.

Excuse me...

It's an emergency.

Make it quick.

Okay, A.J.

What would you do with the winnings?

Um, get loaded.

Um, put myself through med school?

Nice.

Buy a yellow Camaro that turns into a Transformer.

Fund my campaign.

All right.

Uh, buy Belize and retire there.

With a buttload of kids.

I think I can help.

Uh, Ms. Poog?

It's Hoog, with an H.

Yeah whatever.

Um, Principal wants to see you in his office.

Ooh!

Did he say when?

Now.

He wants to see me right now?

Yeah.

Okay, um, everybody just hang tight

I'll be right back.

Hey sexy.

Rexy!

Rexy, Rexy.

Hey, do you have your requirements yet

for woodsmanship and camping?

So you can wight you a wittle fire now?

Leave him alone, A.J.

Dude, why are you even here?

You don't have to pass high school to deal Oxy.

Burn!

You wanted to see me?

I did?

No?

Not to my knowledge.

Okay.

I'm just here for the girls.

Something you wouldn't know about.

They don't have a badge for things like that, do they?

You're here, you wanna sit down?

No.

No problems yet?

Uh, good.

It's going good.

Good bye.

Alex James.

'Cause that would be a very big accomplishment

for a big boy scout like you.

At least I won't have to marry my first cousin.

Fight, fight, fight,

fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight,

fight, fight, fight! - Hey, stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it, stop it right now!

What the?

Jeez, man.

Everybody back,

back to your seats.

Sit.

All right, there we go.

Hi sweetie. - Hi baby.

Hey babe.

How'd it go today?

Well considering I'm about

to type my letter of resignation, not good.

Pammy, I'm sorry.

What happened?

Let's see, um,

got my car keyed.

Got sent to the Principal's office as a prank.

Got in the middle of a physical altercation,

that one was fun.

I'm sorry, babe.

Oh, and!

I got an invite to a site called Rate My Teacher.

Come on, don't do this to yourself.

Let's see, what do they have?

"Mentally challenged.

"Worse teacher ever.

"One of us almost peed in our pants

"'cause she won't let us go to the bathroom."

What's the point?

Gosh, I wish they wrote this much in class.

Pam, put that down.

What are you gonna do?

Sweetie, can I get you something?

I'm sorry, I'm just not hungry.

Well here's a wishbone, hon.

Wanna make a wish?

I would, but it wouldn't come true.

Can't hurt.

Now come on.

Come on, grab it.

On the count of three, one, two, three.

Now look it there.

See?

See what?

My son's still crippled.

I'm still single.

My class still hates me.

I just, you know what?

I'm gonna turn in my letter of resignation tomorrow, it...

I think I should--

Come on, babe, can't you give it one more try?

For Caleb.

I can't even stand the thought of going in there you know?

Going back to school,

I get chest pains just thinking about it.

You're telling me there's not a thing you can do

to capture their imaginations?

No, they don't have imaginations.

Come on, Pam, they gotta like something.

They like money.

That's what they like, money.

They like gettin' rich.

I should just like, pay 'em to be respectful.

Put 'em on,

salary.

Does anyone know what this is?

A stick, duh.

It's called a dowsing rod.

Does anyone know what it does?

Beats red-headed step children?

Yeah, Jaime?

A dowsing rod is a method for locating water,

metal or other objects.

Yes, you're correct.

Now, some people hypothesize that gold,

you know, like buried treasure type gold?

Gives off waves or currents that can be detected

by a stick like this guy.

Some people think it's hooey, others believe in its power.

I'm here to tell you, it doesn't work.

Now, why is this even important to me and you?

Well, because we live in the British Bouillon Belt.

Also known as Treasure Hunter's Paradise.

I can probably guess what you're thinking.

I doubt it.

You're probably thinking,

She's gotta go.

She's just using this as a gimmick

to get us to learn.

I'm on it.

But treasure hunting is actually an indulgence

that goes back in my family for generations.

Sorry, you wanna share A.J.?

I said "How stupid do you think we are?"

This is just a trick to get us to learn history.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

You're free to go, I mean, you're just one less person

to split the treasure with, is all.

I'll take my chances.

Ah, but before you do that,

you should probably stay and listen to our guest speaker.

There he is now.

Hi!

Hey.

How you doing?

Good, I'm so glad you called.

Yeah, uh--

Look, I gotta be honest,

you're the last person I ever thought I was gonna hear from.

Purely desperation.

I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.

I mean, I am desperate, really could use your help.

No get down.

Oh.

Did they see you?

- No. - Okay.

- He's huge. - Oh really?

- Yeah. - Like the Hulk?

Like almost.

Oh.

Shall we?

Okay.

Uh, guys, please give a warm welcome to Mr. J.

Um, Mr. J. is a ex-marine, a part-time treasure hunter,

and a survival expert.

Hey guys, my pleasure.

Um, so Mr. J, my class doesn't seem to believe

that treasure hunting is a viable pastime

or that we live in a hotbed for it

known as the Bouillon Belt.

Well Pam actually--

Pam!

I would say yes to both those things, actually.

Treasure hunting is a legitimate pursuit,

and we do live in a hotbed for it.

Take a look at that.

And why is that?

Well, in Tennessee and the surrounding areas,

is filled with limitless relics, treasure sites,

I'm talking old Indian village sites,

there's trading posts, there's pioneer trails,

there's old war encampments.

There's stagecoach stops, I mean the list is endless.

Amazing.

Yeah, right?

I mean, I cannot even tell you guys

how many stories I've heard of Indian raids,

battle sites where people left fortunes behind,

even armies themselves.

Questions from the class, anyone?

Zoey?

What are you doing Friday night?

Um, Mr. J?

Have you ever found buried treasure, and if so how?

Nothing monumental, but I found some old coins

dating back to Civil War era.

Some musket parts, some jewelry,

some diamond rings, things of that nature.

How did you and Ms. Hoog meet?

Can I say?

Yeah, sure.

You can tell them.

Well we met through her ex-husband Hank,

who was also in the service and a um,

treasure hunting enthusiast, you might say.

So we all teamed up for a hunt once upon a time.

Ching!

Yeah, no, none of us struck it rich.

Well I guess one of us did, sorta.

Kinda, but uh, not really.

Thank you again for coming.

You kidding me, any time.

So I'll be in touch maybe.

Yeah, sure.

Right, okay.

Hey listen, I think about you sometimes.

You do?

Yeah, I uh, I wanted to call you

but you didn't leave an address or anything.

That would make it hard.

Yeah,

yeah.

Um, Pam, would it be inappropriate if I--

Yeah.

That's what I thought, um, yeah.

No, no, no, no, that's not what I meant.

It wouldn't be inappropriate.

But yes it's too soon?

I'm not in a great place right now.

Okay.

So uh, how good of a place you have to be in

for a cup of coffee, maybe horseback riding?

I don't like horses.

That's a lie.

Um.

I, oh gosh,

I just don't wanna start something that I can't finish.

Who says you gotta finish?

I'm so sorry, I have to get back.

Listen, I get it, you got skeletons, all right?

Who cares?

Who doesn't?

I have a whole graveyard.

Ms. Hoog?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Right, so, assuming I had some hot treasure leads,

you know, trails that went cold long ago

but with some new information could lead to something,

would anyone be interested?

Really?

You're the one who wanted to win the lottery.

So, I wanna show you something.

But before I do that, here are my terms.

Number one, proceeds are to be split evenly

among all participants, including the teacher.

Participation is optional,

however if you're in, I want you all in.

Number two,

I'm the leader.

That means you will respect my authority

and my decisions.

That also means no backbiting,

no verbal or physical assaults,

no stealing from my desk, vandalizing my car and so on.

This is non-negotiable.

Number three, a lesson will go with each treasure hunt.

This is also non-negotiable.

And no hunting during school hours,

I wanna be very clear on that.

Okay?

Now, I've written up an agreement for each of you to sign.

Well what if we don't?

Well like I said,

you're just one less person to split the treasure with.

You were gonna show us a clue, or something.

Oh, right, thank you for reminding me.

This Dutch map and journal were heirlooms

handed down to me by my ancestors

describing the whereabouts of an incredibly,

incredibly large sum of money.

Now, the bank robbery and subsequent escape

are of public record, but the actual money

has still never been found.

I believe this map and journal hold the key

to its ultimate recovery.

If you think you're interested,

you could take a look at it during lunch.

You're not falling for her BS I hope.

So, what if it is?

It beats slogging through the book day after day.

I'm not into it.

You're not into anything.

I'm into you.

That's not lame.

Hey boy scout.

Boy scout.

Hey I'm talking to you.

What?

Did somebody have a crush on Mr. J?

Why, did you?

You see what happens to boy scouts

when they grow up, don't you?

Yeah, they become Special Ops, drive sweet trucks

and go on adventures, get a life man.

Least my mom isn't a whack job in the loony bin.

Hey, it's not worth it.

Don't listen to him.

He hates himself and takes it out on everyone else.

Don't stoop to his level.

Dude, that was epic.

Paige Parsons, bro?

You're either the luckiest or unluckiest kid on the planet.

Yeah, you're a target now.

Dead man walking.

But hey, what a way to go, right?

She's not into me.

Uh, well, she doesn't squeeze the rest of us like that,

so I'm pretty sure she is.

I mean that, that was for somebody else's benefit.

She's either using me to make someone jealous, or--

Or Paige thinks you're a conquest

because you're female-challenged.

Thanks.

Yeah, either way I would just watch your back.

Uh-Huh.

Excuse me, boys.

Wait a minute.

That's Paige.

She hear all that?

You're so dead, man.

You're on your own, my friend.

If you agree to the terms,

please sign on the dotted line.

Right there.

Remember what we talked about.

Total participation, okay?

So, what we're gonna do is you'll be broken up

into three groups of three.

Ah?

Don't forget, failure to comply

results in a breach of contract, and forfeiture.

Group one,

A.J.

Paige.

And last but not least,

Rex.

So, the first hunt will center around

two very important historical icons.

Lewis and Clark, who's heard of them?

Really guys?

Okay, they were kind of important.

Today, there's no trace of the Grinder's Inn,

where Lewis allegedly met his death

whether by suicide or murder.

However, you can still visit the old cedar tree

on the Indian Trail where the Inn once stood.

That might be a good place to take up the search

for Lewis' still-missing gold cache.

Good class.

Really good class.

You're dismissed.

Word to the wise, don't try digging up the past.

It comes up just fine by itself.

This changes everything.

What does?

Her.

She's a game changer, man.

Who?

Paige.

You're gonna need flash cards.

Flash cards for what?

For what else?

Conversation starters, topics of discussion.

Look, the average conversation last six minutes,

and you plan on talking to her for an hour.

You're gonna need 10 discussion topics.

Please.

Come on, you don't know how to talk to a girl.

How you gonna survive, it would be social suicide.

Or I could just wing it.

That's just crazy talk.

Look, there she is now.

I think she just handed him a note.

Maybe she's breaking up with him

so she can go out with you.

I don't think they were going out in the first place.

Shh!

You are in so far over your head.

I'm in nothing.

She will ruin you, he will end you.

Yeah, I just probably wouldn't mess with Dillon.

Word on the street is he killed his own foster dad.

Like he hit him too hard and he died.

But then, they just charged him with like,

manslaughter 'cause it was self defense.

Yeah, but I thought he was in a bar fight

and hit someone too hard?

No bar, he's only 17.

Only 17?

No wait, I thought he was 22?

Okay, common denominator,

he hit someone too hard, they died.

Yeah.

Does he look mad?

I don't know,

he never really looks happy.

That could be his happy face.

Ooh.

You think he saw us?

Is he still looking?

You okay?

What?

Are you okay?

Another day in paradise.

Wanna talk about it?

I don't.

I've had a few, a few,

a lot of brutal days myself.

You know I might know a thing or two

about what you're going through.

Really doubt it.

You ever slept in your car, weeks on end?

Four families waiting for you back home?

And when you do actually go there,

a drunken beat-down waiting for you?

I didn't think so.

Is there anywhere else you could stay?

That's pretty much it.

Change it.

Really?

What am I gonna do?

What am I qualified for?

Janitorial services?

Scrubbing toilets, flipping burgers?

Let's face it, I'm gonna end up just like my old man.

Who says you gotta be any of those things?

Who says?

The rule makers.

Everyone.

Reinvent yourself.

Really.

I mean,

Meriwether Lewis did it.

Who?

Lewis of Lewis and Clark, he didn't even get an education

until he was a teenager, you know?

You can--

How'd that turn out for him?

Well, I mean he discovered half of America.

Think that's kind of a big deal.

I'm just saying I think you're rebelling

against the wrong stuff.

You know, rebel against people's expectations of you.

'Cause your expectations of yourself.

I'll get right on that.

I'm serious.

Yeah me too.

Caleb's medical forms?

Mmhmm.

I'm afraid to ask, but how'd it go today, baby?

Not half bad.

I'm not outta the weeds yet, but not half bad.

Well good for you.

Mmhmm.

I mean, I kinda can't believe I made it through a whole day

without a major incident.

Caleb!

Oh my Gosh.

Pam, be careful!

Oh my God, will you take him, take--

- Yes, yes. - Oh my God.

Oh my Gosh, who did this?

I don't know, I got a couple ideas.

Shoot.

All right.

Wait, where's Dillon?

He's absent today.

He spent the night in jail.

Come on, really?

Really, he did.

Got in a fight and spent the night in jail.

Again.

Who knows how long they'll keep him this time?

This time?

He'll probably be back tomorrow.

Okay, well, nothing I can do about that.

So, let's get started, I'll do Dillon's group last.

Okay.

Group two.

Team Johanson.

Jazz, Ian,

Zoey.

At the outbreak of the Civil War,

John Johanson left behind his wife and two kids

to join the Confederate Army.

But he deserted after a couple months

and came home to a hostile front.

Fast forward to his two sons all grown up now,

Bart and Boaz, they turned out to be

some serious vengeful and spiteful outlaws.

That is until a posse was formed to hunt them down,

these guys.

Locals still tell stories about the caches of money

hidden out on the farms they used as hideouts.

This old Dutch map,

and journal,

could go a long way in helping you turn something up.

Oh, before I forget.

If in your journey you run into anyone named Burt,

just turn around and don't look back.

Why?

Family feud.

They'll try to shoot you.

Pam.

Are you okay?

Doing great, why do you ask?

I'm serious.

You're not thinking about leaving, I hope.

I mean I'm always thinking about it, but,

I don't know, sometimes you gotta,

gotta deal with it.

Take stuff head on.

That's my girl.

I'll take it up right along with you.

Anyone have anything to report over at Team Johanson?

Uh, as a matter of fact, yeah, we have a few leads.

Okay, let's hear it.

We found out that during the Johanson brothers'

reign of terror they became very skilled

not only at horse thievery but also horse disguise.

Hm, okay, what else?

Uh, Boaz got so good at painting horses,

he could change the color of a horse

and it couldn't be identified until it shed its hair.

All right, Team Lewis and Clark.

Are not ready for public consumption yet.

I can respect that.

It's all right.

Okay I mean we did find out

that at the time of Meriwether Lewis' death,

he was fighting depression.

They think brought on by financial trouble,

alcoholism, syphilis and / or malaria.

Which was known to cause dementia.

Yeah, that, that does sound depressing doesn't it?

Hey tell 'em about the Civil War gold coins.

Oh yeah, Civil War gold dollars

go for $1,000 to $3,000 each.

And the $3 pieces go for up to $10,000.

And that doesn't even include the extra rare ones.

That would be a nice problem to have.

Okay, think you all know what time it is.

Group three, Team Boaz.

Dillon,

Jaime,

and,

Brent.

So we know from our research that Bart and Boaz

stole horses, painted 'em, hid out,

and hid caches of money along the way.

However, on February 1st 1889,

the Union Bank in Jackson Tennessee

was robbed of $8,900 in gold coins.

Ian, did you wanna say something?

Uh, assuming each gold coin is worth $2,000,

for 9,000 gold coins that's roughly

an 18 million dollar haul.

Split 10 ways, that's 1.8 million dollars each.

That's good stuff.

Where was I?

Oh.

Union Bank was robbed when brother Boaz Johanson

entered and put a knife

to the throat of the bank teller.

Boaz was known to always carry two knives on his person.

One for show, and one to throw.

Just like A.J.

One for show, and one for show and tell.

All right, all right, all right.

So listen, as Boaz was making off with the loot,

a deputy lawman showed up and fired off one shot

as Boaz road away.

Now,

at daybreak,

a posse found Boaz dead, with a bullet in his neck.

Fallen, by the gunman's lucky shot.

The dead outlaw was found lying about 150 feet

from the north bank of the Forked Deer River.

Due east of present-day Highway 45,

which means his horse was either very slow,

or he fell off fast.

Dillon, I couldn't help but notice your drawings,

they're amazing.

I like horses too,

I come from a long line of horse people.

They're um,

they're great.

I understand that you had a run-in?

I won't judge you.

If you need somebody to...

Okay.

Hello there, ma'am.

Hi.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Oh, all right, all right.

Well uh, listen uh,

everybody in town is a friend of mine,

and I don't know who you are.

Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Ms. Hoog,

I'm the new history teacher over at North.

So what are we doing here today?

Oh those are two of my students out there in the field.

Ah yeah, Dillon huh?

Trouble, or--

He's had some violent behavior in the past.

Look I don't wanna scare you, ma'am,

but I have to tell you if you have any problems,

whether it's with Dillon or whatever,

don't hesitate to call Sheriff Dobbins, okay?

Thank you.

Yeah, you have a nice day, ma'am.

Thanks, sir.

Ms. Hoog.

Paige!

You spying on us?

Oh, no, I just wanted to see if Dillon needed a ride home.

He doesn't.

Um, should I be concerned?

About what?

About Dillon, I just, the sheriff said--

He doesn't know Dillon, and neither do you.

Right, no, I mean you know,

I don't know him 'cause he's never spoken a word to me, so--

Yeah, he won't.

Not to you.

Oh,

why not?

You're not a horse.

Most people think Dillon can't talk,

but he just chooses not to.

Can he read?

Yeah, of course he can, just not out loud.

But he talks to horses.

Yeah.

He talks to horses, bye Ms. Hoog.

Okay, what, I mean, why horses though?

When he was little his mom took off,

and uh, he had a new stepmother who beat him.

And he became a bed wetter and a stutterer.

She tried to break him of it

by tying his wet underwear around his neck.

His stuttering got worse,

he eventually got put into foster care.

But in one of those homes he got to tend to the horses.

That was the good time.

Ms. Hoog, this is part of his routine.

We both like to draw, so we exchange drawings after school.

It's like a friendly competition.

You know, no words.

He prefers it that way.

I mean, he hasn't killed anybody has he?

Oh, you know, no one who didn't deserve it.

When you get to know him, he's a really great person.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Yeah.

Don't.

Okay?

Bye.

All right, today's report your findings day.

Team Lewis and Clark, whaddya got for me?

Uh, a needle in a haystack.

It's a waste of time.

We're having to sort through multiple accounts.

In one version Lewis is found in his room

shot and wounded, but he lived for several hours after.

And in another he was found dead outside.

And another one claims he challenged three men to a duel.

And we don't even know which story to chase.

Well, I mean, I think you're doing pretty good.

Keep digging, Rome wasn't built in a day, all right?

Team Johanson.

We found out that pretty much everybody

hated the Johanson brothers then, and they still do.

Apparently this posse, the Bergs,

they burned every farm of every farmer

who was known to have even helped the Johanson brothers.

And this is how the father John Johanson was killed.

He didn't know where his sons were hiding,

so they shot him dead.

No love for the Johansons.

And people weren't too cool

about letting us dig on their property, either.

The first one we approached said no, and the second one,

as soon as we mentioned the Johanson brothers,

what did they say they were?

Spawns of the devil!

Scum of the earth.

Something vermin does, yeah.

Then they slammed their door in our face,

not a friendly place.

Yeah, I used to live there, I know.

So, Team Boaz.

Well, we found the old bank location and we walked around.

Yeah.

Mmhmm, and we found

that when they discovered Boaz Johanson's body,

the knife he used on the bank teller was still in his hand.

With fresh dirt on it.

But no sign of the missing loot.

The theory being that he dug a hole with the knife,

buried the gold, and then crawled away.

Then he died.

Like eh.

Okay, I like it.

Yeah, me too.

Great work you guys.

Thank you.

Okay, so, taking what we know now...

Everybody have a good day, thanks for a great class.

Oh um, Dillon can I see you for a minute?

I um, I brought this for you.

It's the first in a series, it's about horses.

Apparently, outlaws weren't the only ones

who painted horses, Indians did too.

They used to paint symbols to give 'em strength in a battle,

or to ensure a successful hunt.

I thought since you were on a hunt...

You know, if you like it,

bring it back to me I'll give you the next one.

But just one condition.

You have to read it out loud.

To a horse.

Any horse.

What happened?

Someone let the air out?

Well, it doesn't look slashed

so I think that's a good sign.

That's a good sign.

Yeah.

Hey there.

Clay.

Looks like I happened by just at the right time, huh?

That so?

Yeah, I mean I just, happened to be in the neighborhood.

So...

Hm, that's funny 'cause you live a county away.

Idn't it?

You know, uh let me, I should get this.

Go for it.

Oh um, Clay, Aunt Nora.

Aunt Nora, Clay.

Aren't you a handy one?

My pleasure ma'am, my pleasure.

Clay was the one who taught my class the other week.

Oh.

Yeah.

Got it.

Well, I'm gonna go check on Dinner.

Pam's an excellent cook, you know.

Oh.

She's an excellent mother, outdoorsy,

Okay.

Hikes like a logger.

Right.

Excellent hygiene, too.

Thanks Aunt Nora, right, okay.

She looks skinny, but she's got those childbearing hips.

You can go now.

Fine, I know when I'm not wanted.

I'll leave you to it.

Thank you.

Yeah bud!

I'm sorry.

So is it because of your son?

No.

I mean I make decisions for two now.

He definitely factors in, but,

no, it's not.

Gee, that's subtle.

What is that?

I love her.

So it's Hank.

No.

No, it's not Hank.

Then it's me.

No, we're...

So what is it, there's no spark?

Definitely not that, just...

So what is it?

I can take it.

I don't know how to put it, it's,

I'm sorry, it's just me, it's me, it's all my stuff.

I would not wish that on anyone, especially not you.

I don't care, Pam I--

Oh, I can't.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

I'm not gonna give up that easily.

I'll let you know if something changes.

- Morning. - Morning.

Hi, oh, Paige, I gave this book to Dillon yesterday,

did he not want it?

Oh.

No, he read it.

He's waiting for the next one.

So, have you read the part

about how painting horses gets very specific?

Like, you paint circles around the eyes and nose

to enhance sight and smell, and purple means magic,

and green, okay.

A.J.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Never been better.

Need anything?

I'm good.

You hungry?

Two tacos for a dollar.

That's not bad.

Well, I know a place you can get two burritos

for under a dollar, so.

I know a thing or two about living on the road.

Running from family, you know.

I'm just saying.

It is what it is.

You could dig yourself out.

If you wanna.

We'll see.

Well,

they tell ya you can't park here.

I mean that sign says like, no parking at any time.

There's a house up the way, white porch, white fence.

You could park in the driveway.

I know the people who live there.

All right?

Goodnight.

Oh my lord!

Ugh.

Your friend dropped by.

What friend?

That tire-pumping outdoorsman,

ex-marine, lion tamer.

Oh, lion tamer.

You mean Clay, Mr. J?

He left that.

A rose and a card.

Well go on, aren't you gonna open it?

It says "thinking of you."

You read it?

Well it's impossible not to

when you hold a thin envelope up to the light just right.

Huh.

Well, I guess I don't have to open it

now then that you read it.

Oh, I'm gonna check on Caleb.

Thanks.

Good morning fellow Parisians, where's Dillon?

He might be going by our treasure site?

Oh, I thought I told you guys

you're not allowed to treasure hunt during school hours.

You did, but he had this crazy idea

that he could recreate Boaz's steps

by using horse tendencies and calculations.

Dillon said that.

Not in so many words, but--

He wrote us this letter.

He said uh, "Following a hunch as to where Boaz

"may have died in relation to the riding speed,

"wound severty--"

Severity.

"Wound severity, and a horse's tendency

"to circle back to where he throws a rider."

Dillon wrote that.

Yes, uh, he believes that he could

recreate the ride under the same conditions

and then see where the horse might go on its own

given similar circumstances and find the treasure.

Hm.

Yeah, I know, it's crazy.

Yeah, it is kinda crazy.

I mean, I wish you guys

wouldn't be doing that during school hours, but, you--

Okay, well, Chapter Six.

Gettysburg Address.

So I think that it's

in this general area right here.

Okay, you went up this way to start,

and you found, uh, all right, well...

Mr. W. wants to see you.

For real this time, after class.

The campus was closed for renovation

due to the flood, and we had to--

Hi, uh, you called for me, or--

Yes, I've just been speaking with Mrs. Chase here,

and, well, she has some concerns.

I'm sorry, this is Zoey's mother.

Hi, Pam Hoog.

Bev Chase, Zoey's mother.

My sister Tanya's head of the school board.

You may know her.

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

I'm new here.

Please ladies, just have a seat, let's...

Ms. Chase has some concerns.

Mrs. Chase, why don't you share with Ms. Hoog

what you've been sharing with me?

Well I don't usually like to get

involved in these kinds of things,

but some of the issues my daughter has been bringing home

have me a bit concerned.

Um, which ones?

It's more your methods.

While they may have worked at your old school,

here I'm sensing a great bit of frustration and apathy.

I think the kids are feeling manipulated.

Manipulated?

Um, I'm sorry, I just,

I really feel like I've been getting the opposite effect.

You know, I think--

As I was saying, according to my daughter Zoey,

you have them indiscriminately

searching for a buried treasure, and somehow that's

supposed to increase their knowledge of history.

It does.

It has been, so...

Well I can't speak for the others,

but the only thing it is increasing for my Zoey

is distraction and boredom.

And she used to love history.

You know, it's funny,

I've actually had a buy-in from all of my students.

Every single one of them, involving the project.

I mean, you know, sometimes they get maybe confused,

or, by an assignment but--

Therein lies the trouble.

Could it be that some of these kids

have been duped into thinking they're actually

going to find a buried treasure?

Instead of concentrating on the curriculum

and actual books, they're spending class time

chasing visions of sugar plums.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately,

my Zoey is not quite so gullible.

I'm sorry, did you mean sugar plum fairies,

or were you actually talking about sugar plums?

You know, some schools might call my teaching style

innovative and resourceful.

The kids are retaining,

they're learning, they're participating.

Who even is this person, you know?

Well unfortunately, she happens to be

the sister of the president of the school board.

And she made it very clear she is not to be trifled with.

Okay right, so as long as we're throwing punches,

her kid Zoey is tied for the most disrespectful

and disruptive kid in the entire class.

This can't be news to you.

Maybe it's not.

But let me echo Mrs. Chase's sentiments

that A, she is not one to be trifled with,

and B, part of the game

is learning to navigate the political landscape.

Okay, but this kid has zero respect

and nothing to lose, I mean it's a deadly combination.

Pam, you gotta know where to step.

Because that woman is a walking minefield.

Hi, Doc, it's Pam Hoog, I,

I wanna schedule Caleb's surgery

for the first opening you got.

The sooner the better.

Yeah, I mean,

it's never gonna be better than it is right now.

If you can do it, let's go.

Okay, thanks.

Thanks, all right, bye.

Whatcha got in your pockets here, boy?

Anything that might hurt me?

Sheriff Dobbins, this boy's one of my students.

Ma'am, he has been loitering outside of your house

and I'm gonna have to run him in for vagrancy, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, please, is there any way we could,

could you release him to me?

We could release him? - Ma'am.

Him parking here, that was my idea.

He'd been parking on the wrong side of the street.

This, it's my fault.

Look, I'll give him more of a talking to

than you ever will, all right?

I swear.

All right, listen.

I'll release him to ya but he can't be sleeping in his truck

beside the road at all hours.

Okay.

Let alone drinkin'.

All right.

We understand, right?

We get it?

Thank you, have a good evening.

Yes, you have a good night too, ma'am.

Remember what I said about digging yourself out?

Well now's a really good time to start.

I just hope you remember this warning, you owe me so big.

Come on.

All right, Team Lewis and Clark,

I think you might be short-handed a member

since A.J. is missing today.

Where is he?

I bet he found the treasure already and skipped town.

Yeah, right,

because he's actually smart enough to do that.

I heard he was busted for dealing drugs.

Yeah, he'll get juvie and community service.

Can you see A.J. in an orange suit?

Picking up trash on the side of the road.

All right, speculators anonymous.

He's fine.

He just might have a headache.

Then he needs to figure some stuff out.

Okay, can we get back to work please?

Thank you.

Thank you.

A.J.

Ms. Hoog.

Hi.

Thank you.

I feel better.

All right.

I'll see you in class tomorrow.

Ms. Hoog?

Your aunt's a really good cook.

She claims to be Pam Hoog, but her previous employer

has no record of anyone by that name.

That doesn't make any sense.

I know, how can that be?

Oh something's fishy.

Who is she, anyway?

I don't know.

But apparently, she's not Pam Hoog.

That tells us nothing.

Well, except for he's hungry.

Okay, well, let's let him eat his fill,

and then we'll just try it again?

Okay.

Well thank you very much.

I got it.

Got what?

Our sneaky little Ms. Hoog

is not really Ms. Hoog at all.

What?

And her previous employment, Jackson Middle School,

she quit during the middle of the semester

under very, very curious circumstances.

Well if she's not Ms. Hoog, then who is she?

This horse has a one track mind.

Do you think this tree was here 130 years ago?

I don't know, I'm only 17.

Well, okay.

Look, we tried.

We'll get an A in the class

for ingenuity and resourcefulness, so.

Yeah, yeah we will.

Did none of this raise a red flag?

No, I had no reason to question any of her paperwork.

Look, I do my due diligence.

And if I see something, then I do a background check.

But I don't have time to do a full blown investigation

on everyone who comes in and fills out an application.

Well the school board's gonna need to weigh in on this.

Okay.

I'll go tell her right now.

If um,

something should happen and I'm not here on Monday,

I just want you all to know

it's been a real pleasure teaching you this semester.

And I appreciate you taking on the hunting assignment,

even though it's yet to yield a windfall.

Don't give up.

Never give up.

Ian,

I see a future for you at NASA.

Brent, public office is calling you.

Jazz, gosh, I know you feel like a wallflower,

but as cheesy as it sounds I think, you're ready to bloom.

Jaime, you can and will accomplish

anything you set your mind to,

so just do me a favor, choose wisely.

Paige,

you know you're as beautiful on the inside

as you are on the outside.

You just don't know it yet.

Rex, never ever change, and if I ever have a daughter,

I want you to wait for her, okay?

A.J., A.J., always a troublemaker.

You have a special place in my heart.

Zoey, you're a force of nature.

You really are gonna be ruler of the universe one day.

One way or another.

Dillon,

I see a man of character behind those eyes.

I just wish I saw more of him.

One last thing,

a curse is a bad thing to give,

and an even worse thing to get rid of.

Always wish people well.

Okay.

Class dismissed.

You okay, sweetie?

I have to tell you something.

Okay.

When you were new,

I said something,

about getting you fired.

I forgive you.

Sweetie, come here.

I'm just, I'm so sorry Ms. Hoog.

Don't cry too much,

you still have the whole school year to get through.

All right.

There's no power in that stick.

I've tried just about everything with it.

But, sometimes sending up a prayer or two doesn't hurt.

Nah, these are for you.

You'll never guess how the last one ends.

Hey, you can do this.

Trust me.

Okay.

♪ Breathe with me

♪ Be with me ♪

Well, the accusations go on and on.

The treasure hunting nonsense, wild goose chases,

false leads, and wasted hours

that could've been spent on actual history.

There have even been allegations

of a cultist mysticism being introduced to our kids.

What's more, Mrs. Chase

has been looking into Ms. Hoog's background.

And apparently Ms. Hoog has not been completely forthcoming

and is not who she says she is.

Not even close.

Ms. Hoog, or whoever you are,

would you like to tell the good people here

the circumstances that brought you to North?

This isn't something I'd volunteer in a million years,

but you all forced me into it so...

I left my old job in Henderson County because I had to.

I was 19 years old when I married Hank Miles.

You know, he was a real dreamer.

He was always chasing one thing or another,

but when he got into treasure hunting

that was the beginning of the end.

When I got pregnant, I begged him to give up the hunt

and get a real job but, right then,

he made a find with a friend and,

it wasn't a mother lode or anything,

but it was enough gold bands and diamond jewelry

to change everything.

He said he wanted a divorce.

Instead of splitting the loot, he moves out,

leaves me with my newborn,

blows it all on hookers and drugs and gambling.

Then one night, one of his girlfriends comes to me

and tells me she saw him put my picture

with a big wad of cash in a manila envelope.

Says he's dangerous, says I gotta split.

So I did.

I left that night,

I changed my name, and I didn't look back.

Well that explains that.

But there is still the issue of abnormal teaching practices

and the demonic practice of divination.

No, I never advocated the use

of divining or dowsing in my class.

In fact, I warned them against it,

isn't that right you guys?

- Yes mam! - Right.

Yes.

Still, you have this wild, senseless goose chase

not to mention drudging up an ugly past history

that people have taken years to get over.

You mean bury?

Why not bury the darkest, ugliest killing spree

these parts have ever seen?

The kids were learning.

They still are.

And I'm proud of 'em.

You might think it's creative teaching practices,

but it's a sham.

A waste of time, and it's giving our kids false hope.

I think we could all use a little hope.

It's a hoax, and it is a lie.

No, it's not a lie.

Those maps and journals, they're authentic.

Class.

- Yes, absolutely. - Yes.

Yeah.

So say the brainwashed.

Order, settle down.

I know those maps and journals are authentic.

How do you know that?

I know.

How?

I just know.

But how could you possibly know that?

I know because my real name is Johanson!

My great great grandfather was Boaz Johanson,

and yes, I might come from a long line

of deserters and troublemakers,

and I mighta made some questionable decisions,

and I might've had a string of bad luck,

but it's my job to see right here, right now

that that ends for me and my son.

Is this who we want teaching our kids?

I have heard she even

entertains her male students at her home.

That's not true!

Her aunt fed me dinner when I was hungry.

Ms. Hoog, she stood by us when nobody else would.

She's a great teacher.

And she deserves better.

Yeah, she's a really good teacher.

Sit down.

Order!

Ms. Hoog, can you please keep your class in order?

See, case in point,

she can't control her students in the classroom,

and she certainly can't control them here.

Order, people.

Who thinks this is a matter for the board to decide?

I know I do.

All in favor of keeping Ms. Hoog on,

as history teacher at North High School,

raise your right hand.

No, before you continue

I just wanna say,

that I love these kids.

That's all.

All those in favor of keeping Ms. Hoog on

as history teacher here at North--

We, we, we did it.

We found it.

Dillon, what?

We found the Union Bank treasure.

- Oh my God! - Seriously?

Actually I found it.

And it was exactly where you said it could be.

The horse was pawing at the ground,

and it hit something hard.

So I got down and I started digging,

and I found the edge of the rusted knife sticking up,

marking the spot.

You were dead on right, about everything.

Oh my God!

It's true, yes!

Are you serious?

Congratulations!

Dillon, you were so well-spoken.

I just pretended they were all horses.

You guys!

Oh my God.

I have news.

Okay.

He can walk again.

Oh my God!

Thank you so much!
