Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

It's coming for you.

It's coming for you.

What can I get you?

Can I get an almond milk chai, please? A large and a croissant as well.

And your name?

Charlie.

Charlie.

That'll be five.

You're new.

You could say that.

What brings you to Latigo Springs?

A number of things.

My mom grew up here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello?

I'm ready to order.

Sorry about that. I'm sure you are. What can I get for you? Yeah, how long will

a latte take?

Five minutes? Five minutes, of course. What about something cold?

Five minutes. Five minutes. I've been longing for 15.

You know what? I'm going to go somewhere else. The service is terrible.

You're wasting my time!

You can't take that.

Damn!

Are you okay? I'm okay. I can't believe you did that.

Hey, Dad. Oh, hi, honey. How was the trip?

Exhilarating. We got a middler inside.

Oh, uh, hey, Uncle Jack.

Peter.

You know, I've only seen baby pictures of you when you were small.

Thank you.

My God, you look just like your mom.

I'm going to go unpack and shower.

All right, so I gave you the big room.

I do have a lot of shit.

Language.

But yes, you do.

She tries to pretend like she's moved on, but I see right through it, Jack.

I mean, it has been hard for us since my dad.

I understand, Alan.

I miss my sister, too.

But I think Charlie is doing well at school.

All the kids there are very progressive.

Most of their parents either knew my own.

Hey, Charlie.

Look, Uncle Jack brought us some sweet potato pie.

Mom's favorite.

I hope you have a good day at school tomorrow.

Anyone I should look out for?

Ah, they're all a bunch of good, crazy kids.

But you might run into some parents that were your mom.

Anyway, have a good night.

Thank you, Jack.

Now, how about some dinner?

Yeah.

I still don't know why Mom wanted to move back here.

Well, I think she wanted to reconnect with Uncle Jack and her old friends.

I just don't buy it.

Maybe she wanted us to find a hidden treasure so we could become

Now that makes more sense. Right?

Listen, I really appreciate you sticking this out, Char.

Well, I didn't have a choice.

I'd already sold the condo, so I had to follow through.

I know this hasn't been easy, but you're going to make friends, I promise.

You make it sound like I chose to have no friends in L .A.

Yeah, well, you did have glasses and bad acne, and kids can be mean.

Is that it for your first day at school?

Oh,

if someone can be excited about being trapped in a building with teenagers all

day, then sure.

And you?

Oh, yeah. One thing you can count on, even in a small town, is people doing

stupid things.

Can you pour me a cup?

No, it's going to stunt your growth.

Well, based on the size of my feet, I don't think I'm growing anymore.

Well, how about this? It'll rot your teeth.

My teeth are fine.

I'm worried about my hair falling out.

I feel like the receding hairline is something I have to worry about.

All right, I'll find a cup in town.

Love you. Love you. Text me if you need me. Will do.

What did I tell you?

You can't miss another baseball practice.

If you want any chance of getting a scholarship, you have to be committed. I

know. And you're always on your phone. You know, you and your mother are just

alike.

You know. Are you even listening to me?

Get it together.

I won't miss again.

I promise.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. What the hell, man?

Alice, you're parked in a handicapped zone.

You know better.

So sorry. Sorry.

You're new.

I'm Mac.

Charlie. He brings you to Latigo Springs, Charlie.

You could say old home.

Okay.

Any chance you know where AP English is?

I'm headed there right now.

Shall we?

We shall.

Okay.

This is our homeroom.

That is the science back down there, right? And then Spanish.

And then that, those doors right there, the most important room. This is the

cafeteria. And, uh, English? Right here.

Oh, I should warn you.

My mom's pretty strict.

Uh, your mom?

Hey.

You must be Max's mom.

Bill V. Jones.

Um, I'm sorry for what happened.

Um, if there's anything I can do, I'm here for you.

Your mom was a very good friend of mine when we were kids.

Here's a spitting image of her.

Thank you. I mean, I'd love to pick your brain about some stories of her.

Of course, I have plenty.

Thank you.

I know, I know.

So we actually waited, like,

three hours?

No, at minimum. I don't tell him.

Do you know who

that is?

That's Val Chen.

off from where we left yesterday and today's reading is ethics by Plato

okay so Plato once said to prefer evil

to good is not in human nature and when a man is compelled to choose in

between two evils no one will choose the greater when he might

have the less

What does that mean?

Anyone?

Will you not tell me who you are?

Charlie, hey. Hey.

What's up?

Hey. So this is Harper, Val, Dina, Paolo, and Miles.

Gang. Hey, I'm Charlie.

Joe.

Where did you come from?

Just outside L .A. Born and raised there until we moved here.

Okay, so, like, if you could meet anybody in the world, who would it be?

Dalai Lama.

Thoughts so far?

Of the town, the school, or you guys? We know what you think of the town and the

school. Boring.

So, how about us?

So far, so good.

What's your biggest regret?

Not telling my mom I loved her the day she died.

I'm really sorry.

Thanks.

So, are we still getting together later?

Yeah, we have to move it, though. My parents are home.

Hey, um...

Let's show you around town. Best food?

Sure.

Hey,

Art. Hey, Natasha.

I'm here to see Dr. Alan Stevens.

Oh, yeah, sure. He's just here. I'll grab him for you. Thanks.

Dr. Stevens?

There's someone here that wants this.

Hi.

Art Chen.

I just wanted to come by and introduce myself.

My kid Val goes to school with your daughter.

I lost my wife last year.

To cancer.

I'm so sorry.

Still feels like yesterday.

I'm really sorry about Maya.

Thank you.

Uh, you knew her?

We went to school together.

Did they ever catch the person who did it?

No.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Anyways, I should, uh, I should probably head out.

Okay. All right. See you later.

Bye.

That ain't all right.

Yeah. He, uh, just wanted to introduce himself.

Nice guy.

Uh, by the way, that, um, pizza place we passed on the way here?

Back in town.

Really? Good to know. What time do they close?

Like, uh, like five?

Oh, wow.

I'm so used to everything closing at, like, 3 a .m. In the city, you could get

pizza or ice cream, like, 24 -7.

My mom and I used to go out when Dad was on night shifts.

I think she liked the constant chaos.

She said it helped her disappear.

Whereas here, it seems like no one would know if you bought new socks.

Probably would.

So what does everyone do for fun around here?

The weekend hangout. I mean, the night is pretty much quiet.

Um, do you want to go to the Spring Fling with me next week?

Oh, uh, yeah. I just need to find a dress.

Yeah, there's really only one store in town.

Otherwise, you'd have to drive, like, an hour. You could probably go to that

barber. She has a department store in the closet.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think so. I don't think so.

I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Right. This is Charlie Stevenson.

Hi.

I'll see you later, Dallas. All right.

Max, I think you have a test tomorrow, so you should go home and study, please.

Now.

Okay, I suppose that's where our tour ends.

I'll see you tomorrow at school.

Right. Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. It was nice to meet you.

Bye, Charlie.

I don't want you hanging out with that girl.

She's fine. No questions.

All I'm saying is last year's theme was shit. This year's is so much better.

Oh, yeah.

I think they're going to make hot as a daisy.

Hey,

if that's your way of asking me, you're going to have to do a hell of a lot

better.

What are you talking about?

We've been together for two years.

He thinks that just because we slept together, he doesn't have to do this the

right way?

This is my final spring fling.

He's such an asshole. He always does this.

I just wish he'd fall into an abyss.

Oh, no.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

Ah, Jesus.

All right.

Come on in.

It's open.

We need to talk.

All good?

No one's playing. Yeah, there's a game. I'm watching Juve tonight.

What? At least pick Real Madrid.

We play real football.

Juve is better than Real Madrid.

Real football, yeah.

First of all, the name doesn't make any sense. You barely kick the ball, dude.

Second, it's way too violent.

That's a dance.

It's like a cheese.

It's like not a sport game.

Oh, you want to see a real one? No, it's not.

Are you guys serious?

Are you guys serious right now? No, math is not a funny subject.

Do you see me laughing?

No. You know what is funny?

Detention and suspension.

Try me, gents.

But it wasn't even me. Try me.

It's two strikes.

Both of you.

It's two strikes.

Two strikes.

It wasn't even...

So tell me why it is that Mr. Thomas thinks it's the most important thing to

know how to type 140 minutes.

Oh, he did that to me too.

Word of advice, don't finish your homework so fast.

I mean, having strong fingers is a useful skill.

What? You can use strong fingers for a lot of things in life.

Oh, yeah? For what?

Popping pimples.

Shit.

Charlie,

hurry up.

We're going to be late for history.

So what's this all about, Peanut?

I figured you were the right person to ask since I can't find anything online.

Did my mom ever mention anything to you about a girl that got murdered?

Murdered?

That's pretty extreme.

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to see if you knew anything.

Well, there are some strange things that happen in L .A.

I could call some buddy of mine on the LAPD and see if something shows up.

I think it happened here, though, when she was about my age.

Well, I wasn't the sheriff when she was your age.

That would have been my dad.

I would tell you to go ask him, but he's not around anymore.

Look, when your mom left town, he deteriorated pretty quickly.

Went downhill.

Started drinking morning, noon, and night.

Got into barroom brawls.

And when he got demoted, things got worse.

A couple months after you were born, he got extremely drunk one day.

Got into a car accident.

He didn't make it.

I'm so sorry.

And then my mother, your grandmother...

She loved him so much, she died of a broken heart in bed about a

month later.

I wish I would have known.

Mom didn't really talk about them much. She said they had a falling out after

high school.

That's why I joined the force. I wanted a chance to rewrite the Rivetti legacy

as Sheriff.

These are some old photos and memories of things through the years.

Maya even took a couple pictures of you as a baby and sent them to our mom.

They're in there.

You can keep that.

Thank you.

Look, I own a billion shorts.

I like your tattoo.

Oh, thanks.

My mom and I have matching ones. We got them one weekend when Dad was away.

It's a symbol for karma.

That's cool. You should show it off.

Maybe.

We're just trying to figure out what to wear to spring formal next week.

Oh, I'll just probably grab something from my closet. I only have a few

Well, I mean, Harper has an entire department store for her classes, so if

need something, just ask.

Thanks.

Would you maybe want to walk home from school with me today?

Sure, yeah. I'd like that.

Okay.

Let me help you with that.

Oh, thanks.

So you've been in springs your whole life?

Pretty much.

I mean, I was born in New York, actually, but I came here when I was a

Met my ex -husband when he was passing through on a business trip, but didn't

stay in the picture long, so... So how well did you know Maya?

Pretty well, actually.

You could say we were best friends.

Well, right up until the point that I started dating her older brother.

Wait, you and Jack?

We started dating after high school, but sort of grew apart. And then when my ex

-husband left, the romance sparked back up.

He's just always been around, you know.

Only missed my birthday once.

How did you meet Maya?

College.

Yeah, same classes, same friends.

And we just clicked.

I'm so sorry to hear about her passing, by the way.

When Jack told us, I mean, we were all just in complete shock.

There was really something about her.

Just always thought she'd be around.

Have

you

ever had a dream that feels super real?

Yeah, all the time.

Really? Yeah.

Like, last night I had this dream that I was a wizard, and I had this wand and

everything, and I was about to defeat this villain, but then I woke up.

But it felt so real.

I mean something that feels realistic, almost like it actually happened.

Like a memory?

Kind of. I don't know how to explain it.

Sounds like someone's eating too much chocolate before bed.

What? It makes you have weird dreams.

And so does cheese.

Okay, good to know.

My

dad

told me what happened to your mom.

I'm really sorry.

Thanks. Yeah.

I lost my mom to cancer.

It was really hard for me.

I started going to therapy to talk about it, but it's not like talking about it

is going to bring her back.

You know, the hardest part about it was seeing my dad go through it.

Yeah, my dad's trying to hold it together for me, but I see what it's

him, too.

Since she died, I just, I feel like I don't know who I am anymore.

Like...

With her around, it was always easy to figure it out, but now it's just me and

Dad, and I don't know what to do with myself.

Did they ever find the driver?

No, it was a hit and run.

They couldn't get a clear plate to trade.

Enough about me.

Tell me about you.

Uh, I want to study at Yale.

Yeah, but I doubt they're going to take a kid from a town that no one's ever

heard of.

I think you'll figure it out.

No. I want to study psychology.

Like, I love getting to understand people, getting to really know them.

Like, I like getting to know the real Charlie.

I like getting to know the real Val.

I think you're special, Charlie.

Special how?

I don't know.

My gut is always right.

Yeah.

Yeah, I should probably go inside.

Okay.

Thank you. Yeah, of course.

It's kind of a turn on when someone is so comfortable being themselves.

I will see you around, Charlie.

What can I do for you?

Is your dad home?

No, he's still working. Why?

Perfect. Can I come in?

I like your house.

It's really cool.

You can come sit down.

I won't bite.

So, why did you want to come over?

Honestly, you're super cool, and you're really hot, so... I was wondering if you

wanted to go out tonight.

Back to Pico -Pity.

I'm thinking maybe I should get to know you.

Vanilla sugar.

When you walk in the room, my mind goes crazy.

are we watching whatever you want have you seen after no i

haven't oh my god no okay yeah it's decided have you seen the trailer yeah

like i've seen the trailer i've heard of it i just never watched it

Yeah.

I should probably head home.

I had fun tonight.

Yeah, me too.

My dad's home. You have to go.

What? Seriously?

Yeah, he's a doctor. Do you really want to be roped into a sex talk with him?

He's got like a PowerPoint and everything. Okay, okay.

Okay, well, I'll see you. Yeah.

Text me. Okay.

Bye. No, no, you have to go out through my bathroom. What?

Trust me.

Knock, knock.

Huh. How was the date?

It was amazing.

Those boxes got some pictures I thought you may want to hang in here.

Thanks.

All right.

Hey, Sheriff.

How you doing, Deputy?

You know you don't have to stay so late every day, right?

Yeah, you know, I was just going over some of my dad's old case files before

dropping my birds on you going home.

Want some company?

Yeah, why don't we, uh, I'm done here.

Get this sorted and I'll be in the home, all right?

Yeah.

How's Alan doing?

He's fine.

He's always the first in and the last out.

Does he ever talk about...

A little bit.

Look, I feel weird asking. I don't want them to feel sad or something.

Look, I'm sure they're just really happy to have another connection to her.

Don't beat yourself up for not being there all those years.

Maya left on rocky terms.

You're making up for it now, and that's all you can do.

I don't want them to feel badly about me.

Your usual? Yeah. I don't want Charlie to be overwhelmed.

We going to the bleachers?

Yeah, yeah. Later.

If they're as nice as they seem to be, they're not going to be angry.

It's not your fault that Maya left.

Hey, Uncle Jack.

Hi, I'm Natasha.

Um, Harper's mom?

You work at the clinic, right?

Yeah. Um, yeah.

Your dad's really great, by the way.

Oh, uh, thank you.

I should probably get going.

Bye, Charlie.

Bye. See you later.

See ya.

Yes? Hi, I'm looking for the LFHS yearbooks from the 90s. You realize it's

Saturday, right?

Yes, but I really need to look at the yearbook. I'll be like 10 minutes.

All right, 10 minutes. That's no more. Thank you.

nonfiction is over there on that shelf there on the right thank you

Hey Charlie, how was your first weekend in the spring?

I like it here.

Hey, is Laura coming soon?

Yeah, I think she was just wrapping up when I left.

Here you go.

Water? Water?

Give me another one.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Shh.

We're trying to listen.

That poor kid.

Can we do something?

I don't think we can.

It's just jocks being jocks.

Whoa, what?

Whoa, what the hell?

Dude.

Am I going to stop it?

I can't believe he did that.

That's out. That's out.

That's out.

I guess Northside might be the next after all, huh?

Talk about karma.

Yeah.

Goes around, comes around.

Yeah.

On that note, it's going to be pretty nice weather all day. You guys want to

down to the cabin?

There's the cabin?

All right, that's our hangout by the river.

I'm down.

Yeah, me too.

Okay, so let's meet at the cabin in like an hour, change whatever, and head

there? Yeah, I can drive everyone.

No. No, no, no. Okay, fine.

You guys want to come over and pick those?

Yeah, that sounds good.

I'm sorry, guys. I've got to go.

I'm looking at double now.

You know, I just remembered that my dad needs my help with some stuff, so I'll

just meet you there.

You know what?

I'm going to go get coffee.

Yeah, I'll see you guys in a little bit.

Thirsty much?

It's a hot day.

Coffee will fix it for sure.

Okay, well, we'll see you there.

I like this. It's so cute.

I like the black.

That's what I was thinking. It's not fair you're so good at this.

Careful, if Max hears, he'll think you like Val or something.

His fragile ego can't handle the real reason you broke up with him was just

because you didn't like him anymore.

Do you guys see the way that Max was looking at Charlie?

Like a lost puppy.

Once he gets to college, he'll realize there's plenty more fish in the sea.

Yeah, all kinds, like trout, hammond, rainbow.

Oh, Charlie.

He's nice.

Yeah, well, Max definitely seemed to have a soft spot after day one.

Maybe he wasn't the only one.

It's not my fault she's gorgeous.

Do you even wear your clothes after you buy them?

Honestly, I forgot that was in there. It's all yours. Yeah. How does she

Yeah, I don't. Okay.

It's Charlie, right?

Yeah.

Mel's not home right now.

I think they went to Harper's.

They did.

I'm actually here to see you.

Oh.

Okay.

I was going through some old high school photos of my mom, and I figured you

guys were in a friend group together?

Yeah.

A bunch of us are pretty close.

Chloe Winters.

She seemed pretty close to my mom.

Yeah, they were best friends.

Does he still live around here? Because I would love to pick her brain about

some stories of my mom.

Chloe's gone.

Disappeared after graduation.

Ran off with some long -haul trucker, apparently.

Some people just can't stay in a small town, I guess.

I better get cleaned up.

Okay.

Y 'all tell me what it is.

Bam! Her head exploded.

No?

Okay,

yeah, whatever.

Anyone have a better ghost story?

I have one.

Okay, so the story goes that there was a group of teens.

They were hanging out in the cabin, drinking, and one of the guys got up to

use the bathroom outside.

And when he went outside...

He stumbled upon a girl being murdered.

We're literally in a cabin right now.

Why would you say that?

It's a holiday weekend. Shouldn't we just be celebrating?

I'd reckon that.

Celebrating school on Tuesday?

Thanks for reminding me of that.

We'll be graduating.

It's fun.

I'm curious playing this again.

Do you want to go?

Yeah, I love that.

You do?

Yeah. My parents have a strip band, so my house... Oh, no. Thank you.

Are we still going to the drive -thru in the woods?

No, we're not invited to our entire drive -thru.

Well, if you're doing nothing Saturday, do you want to go get pizza with me or

something? Um, actually, Val just asked me to go see a movie with them.

Val?

Yeah, we're going to watch Carrie.

Um... Right.

You can choose them over me.

For real, you're... You're ditching all of it because you care. You can do that

any time. There's a limited time offer.

I know. I want to see it, and we have fun together.

I'm sorry. You have fun? You have fun together?

I'm sorry.

Okay, it's fine. You know what, Charlie? I'm not going to let you do this to me

because I've been nothing but nice to you. I was nothing but a textbook

gentleman to you, and they turned me down.

It's not you.

We had fun together, but I'm just not looking for this right now. Fine. I'm

you have your pick of any girl at school. No, it's fine.

Fine, if you're not into me, that's your problem. You and I need to talk about

the little game that you're playing.

Max, if you're drunk, go home. Oh, my God, please. You've been jealous of me

whole life. That's why you play little games to get in my head. Max, take a

breath. Oh, my God. So what, you think you just swooped in or take her?

She's clearly not interested. So you do this every time.

Every time I get close to being happy, you come in and take it away.

Go home.

You think I'm trying to take your happiness? You're delusional, Max. You

and manipulated Harper, and I'm not going to let you do that to Charlie.

Back off, Val.

It's not worth it. Go home.

Max? Val?

Hey, Val? Are you okay? Hey, Val?

What happened?

Art's on his way.

Okay. What's your name?

Val Chen.

That's good, Val.

Where are we right now?

The clinic.

Great, okay. She's going to run a few tests on you and I'll be in in a moment.

Here we go.

I need you to go home and get some rest. We'll let you know if anything changes.

Okay?

You okay?

Hey, Dad.

What happened?

I just tripped and hit my head.

You hit your head?

It just hurts.

It's okay.

You have to be careful, okay?

I know.

Why don't we go talk to Dr. Stevens and let them rest?

Yeah?

You sure you're going to be okay?

It's okay, Dad. You can go.

I'm not going anywhere.

All right, I'm just going to go inside, okay? Yeah.

All right, the good news is they're going to be

okay. I think it's a mild concussion, so I'm going to run a CT to make sure.

Great, and I would like to keep them overnight for observation.

That okay with you?

Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.

If you'd like, we can put a cot in their room if you want to stay overnight.

Yeah, thank you. That would be perfect.

May 5th, 1994.

Chloe and I watched football practice today, and RJ decided to join.

I know he likes Chloe. It's so obvious.

I tried to ask him about it, but he got really angry, so I let it go.

Natasha likes RJ.

I know she does.

She doesn't understand that he is the way he is.

And he likes Chloe.

Hi, I'm picking up for Charlie.

Two large subs, one with extra meat, one vegan? That's the one.

That will be $11 .98. Awesome.

Let's go.

Thank you so much.

Hello.

Hi.

So my incompetent wife ordered from here, and somehow she left without

the order, which was a large tuna melt with no pickles and extra celery. Well,

she got home, and it was a large tuna melt with extra pickles and no celery.

I'm really sorry, sir.

We'll make you a fresh one straight away. I just need a receipt or order

confirmation.

A receipt?

Look, I've been coming here since this place opened in 93,

Same sub every time.

Since I've been married for 20 years, and yet here you are telling me that I

need a receipt?

I'm sorry.

It's store policy.

I think it's time for you to take your break.

Archie is getting more aggressive.

Art told me that Archie... Hey, Charlie.

Max, you scared the shit out of me. Sorry.

It's okay.

Everything's okay.

No, everything's not okay, Max. Val is hurt.

I know.

I can explain. I'm leaving this week.

What? You don't understand.

This town, it's toxic. You've got to get out of here or you'll get it.

Max. I mean, I can't stay here.

With my dad? And he's not who everybody thinks he is. He's aggressive and mean,

and I can never live up to his standards.

Max, take a breath.

I can't breathe anymore.

It's too much for me.

Max, you're hurting me.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I mean, the whole thing with Val, it was an

accident.

I wish I could explain. I tried so hard not to be like my dad. And I don't know,

sometimes I just get so angry. And you don't understand, I was so happy with

Harper. And then Val comes in, filling her head with lies, saying I was the one

who was toxic. Max! No, listen to me! You can't show this to anybody in this

town. Look, it's Val especially.

They've had Val for me my whole life. Max, let it go.

Go home.

Harley! Harley! You have to believe me. This town, these people. Max! You have

to come with me. I'm coming right now.

Charlie?

Oh, my God.

Hey, it's okay, Peanut.

Just tell us what happened.

He put my house, and he was really mad, and then the gutter fell, and...

It was an accident.

Something like this doesn't just happen, okay? I want an investigation.

This is nobody's fault, Alice.

He's my only son, and we just want to know what happened.

We're going to get to the bottom of this.

I promise you.

I'm fine.

No, take as long as you need

Thank you.

Let's just give you a drink.

I don't know.

Javier played, Jack and Chloe wanted to go off and have fun.

Clearly they were having too much fun.

You're just hallucinating, Maya.

Too much to dream. No, I know what I saw. She was there.

She was right down here.

Where's Chloe?

She went home.

She wasn't feeling good.

You saw her leave past the cabin.

Right here.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I saw her. She went home.

No, she was here. I know. I know it right now. She was here.

Let's just go home.

What are you doing here so late?

You know, it's not safe for young girls like you to be walking around at night.

I'm just finishing up the report on Max Jones.

They want me to fax it first thing in the morning to the county.

Forensics found no evidence of foul play.

It's ruled an accident.

We both know things are different now.

Is that what happened with Chloe Winters?

Something just snapped.

I

trusted

you.

I thought you were some stand -up sheriff writing the wrongs of the

but you're a fraud.

And you've been lying to everyone.

You want to talk about one?

Chloe Winters was Maya's best friend.

They met in the third grade after Chloe's parents moved here from Ohio.

Bestie. Every summer. I don't want to know about Chloe's friendship.

I want to know about her death.

Her death?

Charlie, Chloe isn't dead. She's very much alive.

Living up in Seattle the last time I checked.

I'm a school teacher now, so they have to do background checks on her every

she switches school districts.

Forensics found that back in 95.

And after further investigation, it was determined that Chloe ran off with her

long -haul trucker.

Now, there were many witnesses that saw her leaving her...

Parents home in the middle of the night, wandering around the highway, and then

checking on all the cameras along the truck route. We didn't find any evidence

of force.

Chloe was happy and willing.

Charlie, why the urge to learn so much about Chloe?

Was it from those photos I showed you?

Look, Peanut, I know you miss your mom.

Without her, I just feel like I don't know who to talk to anymore.

Well, if it means anything, I kind of know what you're going through.

Hey, Uncle Jack.

Did my mom ever mention anything to you about having weird dreams?

Nothing unusual.

Why?

Nothing. I, uh... I guess I'm just eating too much chocolate before bed.

Be careful.

You don't want to rot your teeth.

There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.

Okay.

Meeting you has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.

But, I don't know, I feel silly because I don't know if for you this is just

some fling.

It's more than just some fling for me, too.

Apparently Charlie's been digging around Chloe's case.

When did you speak with Jack?

He called me late last night.

I have to go. Everything okay?

Uh, yeah.

I just gotta meet Jack.

Do you want me to come with you?

Oh.

Sweet, but I have to meet him somewhere. My mom needs to go.

Look, man, I don't know.

Said he'd handled it.

But she'll put it together soon enough that we were all there the night Chloe

left. Wait, Jack said he'd handle it?

Yeah. Art, I... Hey, I have to go.

Was that Charlie?

Yeah.

Where's she headed to?

Someplace with Jack, where her mom used to go.

Jack?

Why?

Yeah, that's what she said.

I, um... I'll be back later.

There's some errands I forgot how to do today.

Okay. See you.

Thank you for coming.

You know, ever since our talk last night, it's got me to thinking.

You mentioned a dream.

It sparked something that I remember that your mother wrote in one of her

journals.

You read my mom's journal?

What big brother hasn't duped on his little secret?

Yeah, she wrote about a dream that she had.

Back at the cabin, there's something between her and Chloe.

Something that Maya did.

What do you mean?

You won't run.

Only I can give you answers.

You were right the other night.

Chloe's dead.

It was such an easy pill.

It only took me two rocks to sink her into the river.

You flash a badge and everybody believes you.

But Maya wouldn't get on board.

I was forced to drive her out of town. No, she'd never just walk away with that

on her conscience.

I didn't give her much of a choice.

Every since my parents adopted her, I was yearning for the day when I could

rid of Maya.

It's your fault that she wanted to move back here.

She was coming back to right your wrongs.

And if it wasn't for you, she never would have been walking home that day

the realtor's.

There was no such thing as a random driver.

I killed the...

bitch so she wouldn't come back here and ruin my life.

And when I realized that you were just as much a freak as she was, I

knew I had to rid myself of you too.

not gonna let you do this again i went along with your cover -up back then

because i was scared i should have come forward with what i saw

come on man just relax okay we

can talk about it just just give me the knife okay just give me the knife

Maybe we can go visit. Something for the road.

She insisted.

Thank you.

What's your mom?

She's still processing.

Good job.

Oh,

I didn't know you were out of the hospital yet.

Yeah, I got cleared to leave yesterday.

Just thought I'd drop off a parting gift.

Thank you.

Here, come join us.

You sure?

Yeah.

My mom's leaving. My dad, after the accident, saw how much he'd been

me, and she felt it'd be best for the both of us.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Well, I'd better get going.

Thank you.

Make sure to take the group chat with every fun stop you make.

You better call me when you need clothes.

Yeah, definitely.

What he said.

Bye, man.

Bye.

Well, um, I'll see you at Yale in a few months.

And who knows, maybe I'll convince my dad to let me crash your road trip.

I would like that.

Did you forget something, maybe? Oh, thank you. Anything else to pack?

I think so.

Good. Maps?

This isn't the 90s, Mr. Stevens. We use our phones. Yeah. I think I'm just going

to pick a road and see where the road takes me.

Hopefully not to some cute stranger.

Don't worry. I'm all yours.

Come here.

Hi.

I love you. I love you.

I'll call you. Yeah.

Small Americano for RJ.

Thanks. You're alive.

You can go and face it alone.

You don't have to drag me along.
