00:00 Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:04 I rejected your advances and you decided to smear my name.
00:08 It's your word against mine.
00:10 I lost my teaching position because of what you wrote.
00:12 Merging the towns means our school will fall under the jurisdiction of the Valley School District.
00:17 It's from Jacob.
00:19 Jacob?
00:20 He's looking forward to...
00:21 To what?
00:22 My apology.
00:24 This is what he does.
00:26 This makes me so mad.
00:29 I do remember something. I grabbed the gun.
00:32 Are we just friends?
00:34 Friends don't look at friends this way.
00:36 Happy birthday to you.
00:41 Happy birthday dear Goldie.
00:45 Happy birthday to you.
00:49 Yay!
00:51 Yay!
00:53 There you go.
00:55 Can you blow it out?
00:57 Can you do it?
00:58 One, two, three.
01:00 We got it! Yay!
01:05 Happy birthday Mayor Gold Elizabeth Coulter.
01:08 And you, the birthday girl, get the biggest slice.
01:11 I'll be right back.
01:13 Well not too big.
01:14 Oh hush, it's her birthday.
01:16 Not too big.
01:17 Jack, would you like to give Goldie her birthday present?
01:20 Oh my goodness, yes. Here we go.
01:22 Here, you can stand right here honey.
01:24 There you go.
01:26 Oh, look what you got honey.
01:29 Oh, so sweet.
01:32 This year has just flown by.
01:35 So many firsts.
01:37 First tooth.
01:38 First step.
01:39 First slice of birthday cake.
01:41 Just relax, it takes time.
01:43 And you, tomorrow, first day working for the Valley School Board.
01:49 So tell me, how are you feeling?
01:51 I've decided to look on the bright side.
01:53 After all, it means more resources and better opportunities for my students.
01:57 That's the spirit.
01:59 You'll just face these hurdles, easy as pie.
02:02 Is there pie too?
02:04 Pie?
02:05 Who's heard of birthday pie?
02:07 Oh my goodness, Elise.
02:09 Those pieces are enormous.
02:11 Look at Goldie, cake.
02:21 Morning.
02:23 Hi.
02:24 This is good timing.
02:25 You mind if I walk with you?
02:27 Of course.
02:29 I can, I can carry your books too.
02:32 Thanks.
02:33 Well, these are heavy.
02:37 What are you teaching these kids?
02:39 I can take them back if you like.
02:40 No, it's all right. I stretched.
02:44 Jack, that's quite a large basket you've got there.
02:47 It's for daycare.
02:49 He's sharing his toys.
02:50 Well, that is very generous of you.
02:52 I know. Let's go.
02:54 Okay.
02:56 Um, Allie left earlier with Angela.
02:59 She's a bit worried about what this merger might mean for the school.
03:02 Oh. Well, according to Lucas, it's just a technicality.
03:06 The day-to-day operations will stay the same.
03:08 I'm actually meeting with Mr. Wilcox from the school board to find out more.
03:13 Oh, I think Lucas is right.
03:15 I mean, I'm sure he is.
03:20 Everybody knows that you're the best.
03:22 Thanks. I don't know if that's true, but it's nice to hear.
03:27 So, uh, do you have any plans for lunch?
03:32 Uh, that depends on how long this meeting with Mr. Wilcox takes.
03:40 Right.
03:41 But I could stop by the jail if I'm free.
03:46 Sounds good.
03:47 So, Mr. Mayor.
03:55 Co-Mayor.
03:56 What is on your agenda today?
03:58 Honestly, there's a bunch of stuff I can't wait to get started on.
04:02 Oh.
04:03 I was thinking of putting together a small group of town leaders, pick their brains, that kind of thing.
04:07 Joseph is actually coming by this morning, so that's good.
04:09 Lee, that is brilliant.
04:12 What were you thinking of doing?
04:13 No, wait. I know. A dinner party at the saloon.
04:16 Oh, champagne, hors d'oeuvres, black tie optional.
04:20 Yeah.
04:21 All right, all right. Perhaps something smaller, more intimate, so people can share their innermost thoughts.
04:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that way better.
04:29 All right, so we'll definitely have to have the governor there.
04:31 We'll have to wait for Lucas to return from making an appearance in Capital City.
04:34 And then, well, there is the matter of the town.
04:40 Well, there is the matter of...
04:43 The matter of what?
04:48 Your attire.
04:50 My attire?
04:52 Yeah! You almost had me. That was funny.
04:57 All right. Think nothing more of it. I'll put together some ideas.
05:00 Wait, what? You're serious?
05:04 Rosie!
05:09 Good morning, Mrs. Thornton.
05:11 Thomas Higgins.
05:15 I could hardly forget.
05:18 What are you doing here? I was expecting Mr. Wilcox from the Valley School Board.
05:25 I'm sorry to surprise you, but I'm now the territorial superintendent.
05:29 And when I heard it was your school being affected by the town merger, well, I came here to handle it myself.
05:36 [Music]
05:39 [Music]
05:41 [Music]
05:43 [Music]
06:12 Just wanted to go over a few of the formalities with you.
06:15 I was under the impression the merger wouldn't affect our school's independence in practice.
06:19 Oh, of course, of course. We just need to make sure that you and your school are up to date on the latest teaching theories and protocols.
06:27 It's, well, something you can think of as guidelines. It's a board required protocol. Nothing to worry yourself about.
06:36 I see.
06:39 Every school is doing it.
06:42 This says territorial testing standards.
06:46 Ah, yes. Bureaucratic technical jargon. Nothing to worry yourself about.
06:51 Perhaps we can meet later. Walk you through everything.
06:56 Today's actually quite busy.
07:00 Ah, well, I'll let you get ready for your day. I'll stop by later.
07:06 [Music]
07:11 Hey, guys, what is with all the racket?
07:15 Mike, I think that's...
07:17 Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I can see that now.
07:20 Nice sign, though. It looks great.
07:22 Right, right.
07:24 Just back. Ah, never mind.
07:25 Well, well done.
07:27 Good luck, Mr. Mayor.
07:28 Oh, don't you start now. It's Lee and you know it. And thank you for the input today. Good ideas to think about.
07:34 And, you know, Rosie and I are throwing a little gathering at the hotel and we were hoping you and Minnie would join us.
07:39 I look forward to it.
07:40 Okay, great. I'll let you know when I have the details.
07:42 Sounds good.
07:43 Thanks, Joseph.
07:44 All right, boys.
07:45 See ya.
07:46 I'll let May know.
07:47 And Florence?
07:48 Uh, know about what?
07:49 About the gathering.
07:50 The gathering.
07:51 Right. Of course. The gathering. Because they'll have great input. Of course. Yes, let's do that.
07:55 I'll let her know right now. We have a standing breakfast date.
07:59 Ah, lovely.
08:01 [music]
08:05 Well, this is a nice surprise.
08:08 And how is the cutest little girl in...
08:12 What's this?
08:16 Not Goldie. She's at daycare. These are all the files I've gathered on Clayton Pike.
08:20 Well, it'll take you hours to go through these.
08:25 True. But I'm already a quarter of the way through.
08:28 Well, hopefully they'll grant our request for an interview with him. That way we can go directly to the source.
08:32 I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. That doesn't seem likely.
08:36 They rejected our request?
08:39 He's refusing to talk to anyone, including a judge.
08:42 Another brick wall.
08:45 It would appear so. They are becoming all too familiar.
08:49 What kind of gathering?
08:54 Not really sure. But if the mayor's holding it, it's bound to be important.
08:58 You go ahead.
09:03 Mikey?
09:06 Only Maisie ever called me that. Just forget you ever heard it.
09:11 Are you kidding? I love it. I think it's so cute.
09:14 And I think it's wonderful that you have all your family around. People who can share your little secrets.
09:21 Some things I wish would stay secret.
09:23 I'm sorry, did you really want the last piece?
09:30 No, it's not that. It's just, um, I've been thinking about my family a lot, that's all.
09:36 I wish I could have met your folks.
09:39 Me too. My mother was the most wonderful cook. I would have loved bringing you home for dinner.
09:45 And then she could have told me embarrassing details about you as a kid.
09:48 I am sorry to say there were none.
09:50 I'll just have to ask your brother.
09:52 You're gonna have to find him first.
09:54 He's in the merchant marines. He's always at sea or some port halfway across the world.
09:59 He sends a letter every now and then, but he loved my mom's cooking more than anyone.
10:05 Her xiaolongbao were the best.
10:07 Well, maybe you could make them for me.
10:10 Oh, I don't know. It's been so long and I was never on her level.
10:15 But now...
10:21 I suppose I have someone to cook for.
10:23 I guess I could give it a try.
10:26 Enjoy your lunch, everyone.
10:34 I see you've let your students out for an early lunch.
10:41 Just by a few minutes.
10:43 Oh, I was only teasing. There's no need to be so sensitive.
10:46 I'm not.
10:47 Although I suppose it is understandable. Your nerves are thin.
10:51 After the governor ending your engagement, it must have been quite the blow.
10:56 I've been looking over the guidelines and I have some concerns.
11:02 We can discuss all that in due time.
11:04 Well, I noticed mention of standardized testing and...
11:07 I was really hoping to discuss this all under more comfortable circumstances.
11:12 How about dinner tonight?
11:17 I don't think that would be appropriate, Mr. Higgins.
11:20 We can discuss any of this right here.
11:22 Appropriate?
11:24 I would have thought that you'd put your students' interests above what I can only describe as an old grudge.
11:31 An old grudge?
11:33 Is that really what we're calling it?
11:35 I have some important telephone calls to make.
11:39 Mr. Higgins!
11:40 I'll be back tomorrow.
11:41 Maybe reconsider my offer.
11:46 Good day.
11:47 Elizabeth! How'd it go with Mr. Wilcox?
11:59 Uh, it wasn't Mr. Wilcox. It was, um, Mr. Higgins.
12:03 Is everything okay?
12:06 Mm-hmm. Just a busy morning.
12:08 What about lunch? I hear Minnie's got a great fried chicken special.
12:15 Uh, Nathan, I would love that, but I'm... I'm sorry, I just don't have time today.
12:21 Uh, well then we... we could go another day.
12:26 Okay. Great.
12:27 Are you sure everything's okay?
12:30 Yes. I'm fine.
12:42 What can we do to make you reconsider?
12:44 I wish I could, but, uh, it's just not in the cards.
12:47 Level is what is it that's holding you back.
12:49 Honestly?
12:50 Word around town is that you can't be trusted not to just turn around and take all the profits.
12:54 There will be a contract. And any suggestion that the governor may be playing anything but above board is purely slander.
13:00 Contracts can be broken, Mr. Gatlin.
13:03 Especially if you're the governor.
13:04 That's not the way I operate, Grayson. Nor have I ever, and you know that.
13:08 Listen, I'd like nothing more than to do business with you in the future, governor, but, uh...
13:12 Not this time.
13:13 You know, I also invited Joseph and Minnie to the salon thing.
13:25 Yes, of course. The pastor and his wife will be there. They are definitely VIHVPs.
13:32 What's a VIHVP?
13:34 Very important Hope Valley people.
13:37 Right. I also invited Michael and May.
13:40 Hickam and May?
13:42 Mm.
13:43 Hadn't really considered them.
13:45 Michael runs the hotel and May is the town pharmacist. She's on the council.
13:49 True. All right. I will add them to the guest list.
13:52 Maybe I should have a look at this guest list. Hand it over.
13:56 Yes. Here you go.
13:58 Jed Campbell? Really?
14:01 For his dissenting views on the resort.
14:03 Oh! I almost forgot.
14:07 What do you think about these?
14:10 For your dress?
14:12 For you.
14:14 For me?
14:15 Yes. All the dignitaries wear these colors to be taken seriously in the world.
14:20 It's kind of gloomy, don't you think?
14:23 But they exude confidence, just like you do.
14:27 Oh, yeah?
14:28 Thank you.
14:31 Oh, hello.
14:33 Oh! Thinking of a new suit.
14:35 Well, you would look very distinguished in that one.
14:38 They say the office makes the man.
14:40 Thank you so much for the invitation to the salon. Ned and I are very flattered.
14:44 Oh, good. I'm glad.
14:45 And I've also invited Molly because she has a lot of ideas.
14:48 Oh, wonderful.
14:50 We are all ears. That is, Lee is all ears.
14:55 Yes.
14:56 Because he is the mayor.
14:57 Where to start? Not that Hope Valley isn't idyllic as is, but there is always room for improvement.
15:02 Oh, Ned and I will put a sign on the community bulletin board. We'll let everyone know.
15:07 Maybe we should just hold off on that one for the time being.
15:12 Is it just me or is this kind of snowballing a little bit?
15:20 [music]
15:22 Working on your sermon?
15:32 Yeah, it's a tricky one.
15:35 Dear Jacob, that's an interesting way to begin a sermon.
15:47 Not usually one to struggle to find the right words, but everything just seems so wrong and too angry.
15:56 That won't do. Not when he's already asking for an apology.
16:02 For the life of me, I don't know what for.
16:06 What do you want from Jacob?
16:15 I wanted to go back to when we were just two kids.
16:18 Best friends.
16:21 Life was simple.
16:25 We didn't have much, but we had each other.
16:28 I don't know how it all went so wrong.
16:36 [knocking]
16:45 Hi, you.
16:47 Hi, you.
16:49 I saw your light on.
16:53 Whatever's keeping you up?
16:58 I'm listening.
17:01 Thank you.
17:03 Thomas Higgins is in town.
17:10 He was the school superintendent who nearly cost me my job a few years ago.
17:15 Only now, he's the head of the territorial school board.
17:19 Well, what is he doing in town in person? Surely he has people he could send.
17:24 I have a feeling this is about settling old scores.
17:27 Because you stopped him from firing you.
17:29 I tried to expose him for his inappropriate behavior.
17:37 Only it was my word against his, so...
17:40 Elizabeth?
17:44 Did he proposition you today?
17:48 I'm not sure.
17:51 I think so.
17:54 But this is what he does.
17:57 He makes you doubt yourself so much you're not sure what actually happened.
18:02 You need to tell Nathan. He needs to be arrested.
18:06 Arrested for what, Rosemary?
18:08 If I involve Nathan, Higgins will find a way to punish not only me, but my students as well.
18:15 We can't let him get away with it.
18:19 I just feel so helpless.
18:21 You are not helpless.
18:23 You are strong.
18:26 You are brilliant and resourceful.
18:30 You know how to manage a heel like Thomas Higgins.
18:35 [The End]
18:38 Lee?
18:41 Hmm?
18:42 I've been thinking about what Molly said. About the office making the man.
18:46 Yeah, that's for me too.
18:48 The thing is, I like my man. Exactly the way he is.
18:52 Thank you, sweetheart. I appreciate that, but you don't have to worry about me.
18:56 I'm good with who I am.
18:58 Thank you.
19:00 Now, about the Mayor's soiree.
19:03 Mm, about that. No, no, no, just hear me out.
19:07 Look, I appreciate all the thought you put into it. I really do. I just...
19:13 I know. It doesn't feel right being so exclusive.
19:17 You're everybody's mayor.
19:19 That's what I was going to say.
19:20 And anybody should feel free to come up to me and tell me exactly what's on their mind at any time.
19:25 They are all very important Hope Valley people.
19:29 Yes, they are. And I think I have the perfect way to show them.
19:33 Oh, well I like the sound of that. Do tell.
19:36 Good morning.
19:42 Good morning.
19:44 You're here early.
19:46 I like to make sure I have everything ready for my students before they arrive.
19:50 Dedicated to your post. I admire that.
19:56 What, may I ask, is the assignment this morning?
19:59 It's an art project. On family and togetherness.
20:06 This generation. They're so sensitive, aren't they?
20:11 I like to think of it as being well-rounded. What's life without art, after all?
20:24 I take it you are here to discuss the guidelines?
20:27 Not necessarily, but if you were to have questions...
20:32 Well, there's certainly some useful direction in here, but it's rather prescriptive, wouldn't you say?
20:41 Librosis.
20:43 Why would I write something I find to be ineffective?
20:50 It's just my students have been very successful.
20:53 And I believe that's due to me having the flexibility that comes with a certain degree of autonomy.
20:59 So it's your stance that you deserve to operate outside the rules?
21:04 No. No, but... but every child learns differently.
21:10 And I'm not sure I can address individual needs under your guidelines.
21:17 For example, I have a student who learns best using visual aids.
21:21 Perhaps they belong in a remedial classroom.
21:23 However, I suppose there's always room for some compromise.
21:31 I scratch your back, you scratch mine, so to speak.
21:37 I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting.
21:40 You're making this harder than it needs to be, Elizabeth.
21:46 I can be flexible, if you are.
21:49 I... I don't...
21:55 Good morning.
21:56 Anna, we'll just be a moment.
21:59 And who might this be?
22:00 Good morning. I'm Anna Haver.
22:03 I'm the Territorial Superintendent of Schools.
22:06 This is Mr. Higgins, Anna.
22:10 It's nice to meet you. I'm here on a practicum from Teachers College.
22:14 You've chosen well. Mrs. Thornton is a fine teacher.
22:17 She's the best.
22:18 Well, I'll leave you to your day.
22:22 Consider what I've said.
22:25 The Territorial Superintendent? In your classroom?
22:35 You must feel important.
22:37 Actually, he will be leaving soon, so then things can get back to normal.
22:44 Oh, um, would you mind working with the younger students today?
22:47 Of course.
22:48 Bill! Bill!
22:58 Bill, Bill, Bill!
23:01 I found something you were gonna want to see.
23:06 What?
23:07 I was looking through Pike's employment records.
23:09 There was nothing. I was about to give up. But then I found this.
23:13 What?
23:14 Look. Five years ago, he lost his job at a mine near Yarrow Hills.
23:18 He was unemployed for a period of time, but then he picked up four months' work on a construction project near Troutville.
23:25 Employer, U.C.H.
23:29 Union City Holding Company, Montague.
23:32 It's the connection we've been looking for.
23:34 He's back.
23:35 Oh, should we tell him?
23:36 No, no, no, no. Let's wait till we know more.
23:39 Maybe then he'll listen.
23:40 Oh, hello, Edwin.
23:44 Hickam.
23:45 Governor, welcome back. Your Hope Valley office is just as you left it.
23:49 Thank you, Mike. I appreciate that.
23:51 Mr. Higgins! What an unexpected surprise.
23:54 Governor, this is Thomas Higgins, the superintendent of the Territorial School Board, and an important supporter of yours, might I add.
24:02 That's right, we've met. The fundraiser.
24:04 Good to see you in such fine health, Governor.
24:06 What brings you to Hope Valley?
24:08 Oh, I'm here helping Mrs. Thornton with the integration.
24:11 I know you're a busy man, but perhaps we could meet later to discuss educational strategy.
24:17 I'm sure we could find a time.
24:19 Certainly, yes.
24:20 That's very kind, sir.
24:21 Who's the stiff?
24:24 Superintendent of the schools.
24:27 They seem chummy.
24:30 They certainly do.
24:32 Oyster sauce?
24:35 Mmm, soya sauce.
24:36 Oh, none of these are big sellers in Hope Valley.
24:41 I figured. These were hard to find in Chicago, let alone here.
24:44 Which is why we need to special order them.
24:48 How long would that take?
24:51 If I call them now, they'll be here on our next shipment.
24:54 That's amazing. Thank you, Florence.
24:56 You wouldn't happen to have a walk, would you?
25:01 Funny you should ask. I have one in the back collecting dust.
25:05 I knew I should hold on to it.
25:08 Ha!
25:36 Anna! Is everything alright?
25:40 Mrs. Thornton, you won't believe it.
25:42 Mr. Higgins asked me where I'd like to teach, and he told me he's going to be visiting the college next month,
25:46 and that he'll introduce me to some regional recruiters. Isn't that wonderful?
25:50 That's very good of him. Just be careful.
25:56 About what?
25:57 I'll miss you.
26:04 We'll miss you so much, Anna, and you can come back and visit any time.
26:07 Good luck on those exams.
26:09 Mrs. Thornton?
26:15 Thank you for always being there for me.
26:18 Have a safe trip.
26:21 Have a safe trip.
26:22 Mr. Higgins?
26:44 Mrs. Thornton, join me for a drink.
26:46 I saw you speaking with Anna, my student teacher.
26:49 No need to be jealous.
26:51 I'm not jealous.
26:52 Can't you take a joke?
26:54 May I ask what you were saying to her?
26:57 I believe that's between me and Miss Hayford.
27:00 I know the special interest you take in certain students.
27:05 What exactly are you implying?
27:08 You know what I'm implying.
27:10 Leave Anna alone.
27:18 Who do you think you are, bandying about such reckless and unfounded accusations?
27:24 They aren't unfounded.
27:27 Jack Thornton School.
27:33 You know the school board approves all school names.
27:37 Now that you're no longer independent, it will have to be reconsidered.
27:45 [music]
28:09 Elizabeth.
28:13 Are you alright?
28:14 What's the matter? What is it?
28:22 I don't know what to do.
28:24 I was in teacher's college.
28:36 Probably about 20 years old.
28:40 At the time, Mr. Higgins was the director of the college.
28:44 He took an interest in me, in my career.
28:51 I was flattered.
28:54 My family was against me becoming a teacher, so this felt like validation.
29:03 I thought he thought I was special.
29:09 A gifted teacher.
29:12 But then things changed.
29:19 Then he...
29:22 It's okay.
29:26 Take your time.
29:29 He started making advances.
29:38 Subtle at first, then more overt.
29:42 What did he do?
29:47 He was persistent.
29:53 But I told him no.
29:55 So he made my life miserable.
30:00 And now it's happening again.
30:04 He's threatening my job, my students.
30:08 And then I saw him talking to Anna.
30:11 Where are you going?
30:13 I'm gonna go set him straight.
30:14 No, Nathan, you can't do that.
30:16 Not like this.
30:17 I can't prove anything.
30:20 He makes sure of that.
30:22 He has all the power.
30:24 He doesn't.
30:25 That's what he wants you to think, Elizabeth. Don't let him.
30:28 You know how strong you are.
30:30 I've never known you to run from a challenge.
30:34 You're right.
30:35 I have to do something.
30:38 I need to make sure he never does this again.
30:42 Not to me.
30:44 Not to Anna.
30:46 Not to anyone.
30:49 Just tell me what I can do to help.
30:53 I'm sorry.
30:59 I'm sorry.
31:02 I'm sorry.
31:03 Mr. Higgins.
31:06 Elizabeth Thornton left you a note.
31:08 I received your note.
31:22 What did you want to see me about?
31:24 You mentioned that we could discuss my school's future over dinner.
31:30 Splendid. I'll arrange for a private table at the hotel, shall we say, 8 o'clock tonight?
31:34 I'm afraid I'm unavailable tonight.
31:36 Or any night, for that matter.
31:40 What is this?
31:42 I'm unavailable for dinner with you, Mr. Higgins, because dinner between a superintendent and a teacher is at the very least unnecessary.
31:50 And given our history, highly inappropriate.
31:54 I see.
31:56 It's your moment to embarrass me.
31:59 Well, you've only managed to embarrass yourself.
32:01 Conjuring up grievances from our relationship over a decade ago.
32:04 We never had a relationship.
32:06 Unless your idea of a relationship is you offering me teaching positions in exchange for my company after school hours?
32:13 Which you were too high and mighty to take advantage of.
32:16 Believe me, other women have benefited from being nice.
32:21 Because I wasn't nice, you tried to get me fired.
32:25 You tried to, Link, let your students suffer because you refuse to learn your place.
32:29 My place is certainly not at the dinner table with you.
32:32 Well, I ought to have my head examined, wasting my time on you.
32:35 It may be time for you to consider another career, Mrs. Thornton.
32:39 What?
32:42 What is this?
32:44 You just confessed to abuse of office in front of a Mountie.
32:47 This is entrapment.
32:50 How dare you?
32:53 I would choose my next words carefully.
32:54 Do you have any idea who you're talking to, Constable?
32:56 I have connections.
32:58 By all means, use them.
33:01 So, Constable Grant tricked you.
33:13 That's right. I'd like you to put in a word with Mountie Command and have the whole matter dropped.
33:18 And you think Mrs. Thornton put him up to it?
33:22 Of course. In retaliation for some imagined slight she believes I made years ago,
33:28 when all I was trying to do was help advance her career.
33:32 So, Constable Grant and Mrs. Thornton are in cahoots.
33:38 The problem is I spoke to Constable Grant and Mrs. Thornton before you visited the schoolhouse.
33:43 I, uh...
33:46 I had a chance to make a few calls.
33:47 It seems Elizabeth isn't the first accusation against you, Mr. Higgins.
33:52 So, even if you persuaded a judge that you were the victim of entrapment, the jig is up.
33:58 Sir, you don't honestly believe I...
34:00 I believe Elizabeth. And I believe every woman who has accused you.
34:05 If I were you, I'd tread carefully, Governor. I have a great deal of influence in Capital City.
34:15 Did I hear correctly, Edwin?
34:19 Did Mr. Higgins just utter a threat against a public official?
34:22 I believe he did, sir.
34:24 Well, I'll have Constable Grant add that to your list of infractions.
34:27 You will be facing a trial, Mr. Higgins. Until then, you're suspended.
34:32 Now get out of my office.
34:34 [music]
34:52 I'd wipe that smug look from your face if I were you.
34:55 I realized something today.
35:00 You thought because you were powerful, you could take advantage of me and all of those other women.
35:05 But really, it's because you're weak.
35:08 I swear, on everything I hold dear, you will never have the power to abuse another woman again.
35:19 Yes, you better hurry.
35:21 Wouldn't want to miss your train.
35:24 [music]
35:46 Got it.
35:52 And furthermore, I'd like you to consider reinstating noise bylaws.
35:55 Noise? But Molly, don't we already have noise bylaws?
36:00 Well, after 11pm, yes.
36:02 Uh, okay. So, what would you suggest?
36:04 8pm seems reasonable to me.
36:06 8pm? No noise after 8pm, ever.
36:09 I suppose you think I'm being a fuddy-duddy.
36:12 No, it's just that, uh...
36:17 No, Molly, I don't. There are no bad ideas here. I will consider it. Thank you.
36:22 Thank you, Lee.
36:24 Next.
36:26 How you doing?
36:28 The mayorship really suits him.
36:30 I believe it does.
36:32 And this "Meet the Mayor" day is a stroke of genius.
36:35 Every Wednesday at 4. Rain or shine.
36:38 How are you feeling?
36:41 I'll be okay.
36:43 I'm proud of you.
36:46 Thank you.
36:47 Nathan's working with the Mounties to put together a case against Higgins.
36:51 Well, you can bet the Valley Voice will be covering his downfall every step of the way.
36:57 [Sighs]
36:58 Mae, you look...
37:25 You do too.
37:26 For you.
37:34 Thank you.
37:36 Well, have a seat.
37:38 It smells incredible.
37:46 That would be the ginger and the garlic.
37:51 Alright. This is a xiaolongbao. My mother's soup dumplings. They were my favorite.
37:58 And this is chou tiao mian. Shanghai-nese pan-fried noodles.
38:03 You did all this for me?
38:07 It was fun making these dishes. I could feel my mom nearby.
38:17 I'm glad.
38:18 Thank you for sharing them with me.
38:23 I...
38:26 Yes?
38:28 Mae, I want to be a part of your life.
38:31 Your whole life.
38:35 I want that too, Mike.
38:40 [Music]
38:55 Well, dig in.
38:58 Oh.
39:00 I won't be needing this.
39:03 Mike!
39:09 I've been practicing. May I?
39:11 Yes.
39:13 Wow. Very impressive.
39:18 Oh, thank you. That means the world to me.
39:21 Do you want some rice?
39:23 Yes, please. I want to try everything.
39:26 I hope you like it.
39:28 You want some company?
39:38 I'm sorry I didn't tell you what was going on sooner. I should have.
39:53 Elizabeth, you have nothing to apologize for.
39:58 I can't imagine what you've been going through these past years.
40:06 When he first showed up in my classroom, I felt just like that helpless young woman back in teacher's college.
40:14 Just trapped.
40:18 I just wish I'd been able to stop him all those years ago.
40:24 Hey, this wasn't your fault.
40:28 I know.
40:31 Because of you, he's paying for this now.
40:34 No school board is ever going to touch him.
40:37 You should be proud of yourself.
40:41 I'm proud of you.
40:46 Thank you for being there.
40:57 Thank you for being here.
41:03 Here?
41:04 There's no where else I'd rather be.
41:07 Me neither.
41:09 I'm sorry.
41:10 I'm sorry.
41:11 I'm sorry.
41:13 I'm sorry.
41:15 I'm sorry.
41:17 I'm sorry.
41:19 I'm sorry.
41:20 I'm sorry.
41:22 I'm sorry.
41:24 I'm sorry.
41:26 I'm sorry.
41:28 I'm sorry.
41:30 [Music]
41:58 you
