The witch's child was given a sleeping
draft.

He then makes the trip to the moon, so
demons live there.

Hello, you've reached McKenzie Fishing
Excursion. Please leave your name and

number at the beep.

Walt, this is Irene Lee, Amy's neighbor,
calling again.

I don't know if you're getting these
messages.

I'm here at the hospital picking up Amy.

The transplant is going to happen.

She's allowed home for a couple of days
before going to Candle Hill in Los

Angeles for the treatment.

I've offered to go with her.

The thing is, there's no one here to
take care of Ella.

And there's no money for anything like
summer camp.

Amy's finances are beyond stretched with
the medical bills, and she's put the

house on the market.

This... Stem cell transplant?

It's Amy's last chance.

Walt, your daughter needs you.

When she awakes, she can see the earth,
her home.

Seek the materials to brew a potion that
will protect her mother from the fire.

Abigail Lund. I'd like to schedule a
fishing trip for my 12th birthday.

You can reach me at 650-555-7225 at any
time.

I wish you could come with me to family
camp.

My mom wants me on this coast, nearby.

Just in case.

But I get to go to broken family camp.

Gotta go.

Good luck.

Hello? Hi, is this Abigail?

Dad, it's me.

Ella. Have you gotten our messages?

Hey, yeah, I was going to get back to
you. How are you, honey? Yeah, I'm

great, Dad.

Heard they found a compatible donor, is
that right?

Yeah, it's supposed to make the dental
thing look better. That's great, honey.

So that's why I'm coming to stay with
you, right?

You know, honey, that's what I wanted to
talk to you about, actually.

I'm, uh...

I would be out on the river pretty much
every day. Snake River, Henry's Fork.

But my mother lives in New Mexico.

But I've never met her.

Well, in situations like these, families
stick together. That's just what a

family does.

Dad called.

Turns out I'm going to my grandmother's
in New Mexico.

Your grandmother's? Yep. Families stick
together.

You're going to Violet Von Stearns? Dad
says she likes dogs and I can take Lou.

At least we don't have to board him.

I can't believe he's doing this.

It's in the middle of nowhere. We have
to take a prompt plane to get there.

That house is crammed with stuffed birds
everywhere.

She doesn't like people and forget kids.

The three human star voyagers, the
Apollo astronauts,

fulfill an ancient human dream since we
first looked upward.

Two astronauts descend while the third
continues ever further out of sight

behind the moon as his companions thrill
to the dreamlike landscape on this

expedition to the moon decades ago.

Oh, it's a good boy.

It's okay, Lou. The old dragon will eat
you.

There, I got it.

Something for you?

I'm stuck in that hospital.

They don't have a great selection there
at the gift shop.

I love it.

Oh, and I want you to write me some
letters, okay?

Who you meet, what you see there.

Buried treasure.

Dead bodies.

Dead bodies?

You never know. Violet, pop the turn.

Kidding, Elle.

Listen, this may sound a little crazy,
but I'm imagining going to Candle Hill

Hospital. My treatment is like going on
a space mission.

Like the astronauts in Apollo 11.

Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. They
were the famous ones.

But we know.

Michael Collins was the reason why they
could do their mission.

Michael Collins went to the dark side of
the moon while they did their moonwalk

all alone.

They went all alone, right?

So that's who I am. I'm Michael Collins.

I have to get in that airtight shuttle
and complete my mission.

And when I come back, the leukemia will
be all gone.

So who does that make me?

King Alarm Strong?

You get to do the moonwalk.

Hey, bring me back a moonwalk, will ya?

Hey, Elle.

She has her own library.

Ask her to show you the Kepler.

The what?

It's a book.

Okay.

Hi, Ella. Hi. Yeah. I'm Miguel.

I work with your grandmother.

Nice to meet you.

This is my girl, Rosie.

Hi. And who's this?

This is Lou.

This is Lou?

Come on, Lou. Come on, you can come with
me.

Come on, Lou.

There you go.

Good boy.

First time Mrs. Von Stearns ordered up a
kid.

Rosie's admiring your haircut.

I cut my hair for my mom.

Out of solidarity.

Okay.

Let's go.

Get in the truck.

Or your mom's been sick, Ella.

She gets to spend the summer with me.

I live on a trailer on your
grandmother's property.

And Rosie's going to spend most of the
summer with me. So she lives with her

mom on a ranch nearby.

What are all those hills?

Those ain't hills.

Those are the Ortiz Mountains.

Do you ride?

Do you have a horse in Redwood City?

Yeah.

Really? What kind?

What do you mean?

What kind of horse you got?

Like a Pinto Palomino?

Uh, Pinto Palomino.

Well, you're just going to have to come
over to our ranch and go ride.

Your dad and I used to ride together.

Wait, you know my dad?

Sure do.

Peacock. You'll get used to them.

It sounds like someone crying.

Hello.

Well, hello.

Well, I see you're dressed for ranch
work.

You know, not everyone in New Mexico is
a cowboy.

All my other clothes are all packed.

Oh, my goodness. Your father said you
had masses of hair down to your waist.

She cut it for her mom.

Rosie, you know I can't understand you
when you're chewing that awful gum.

We're going to take the boxes around
back, and I'll be back to help with

dinner, Miss V. Come on, Rosie.

Thank you, Michelle. Mm-hmm.

This is my worst sight.

I named him after the German composer.

And yours?

He's Lou.

I think the peacocks, you know, scared
him a little.

Tiffle, they wouldn't harm a fly.

There we are.

There's our best one in the world.

Yes, you are.

All right, then.

Well, I'll show you the house.

Oh, no, no, no.

Don't touch it. Very delicate.

Early 20th century Navajo.

That's bigger.

A little souvenir I picked up from
Bengal.

Did you shoot him yourself?

Who's that?

That is Edmund.

Your grandfather.

I had this drawing commissioned from
this photograph.

Right here. See, that's Edmund. And, of
course, your father.

I've never seen a picture of my dad as a
kid.

Don't dawdle, Ella.

You sure have a lot of stuff.

Yes, I have a lot of things.

But I implore you, don't hoard stuff.

I hate it when people come to my house
and say, Oh, my goodness, Miss von

Stern, you have so much stuff.

I'm a collector. I collect.

I also travel. So, in a lifetime, things
accumulate.

My teacher, Mr. Holloway, he would have
called that an understatement.

Pardon?

Nothing.

Coming.

You aren't the only guest staying with
us for the moment.

We have Mr.

Christopher Abercrombie staying in the
Haston Room.

He's an eminent bookseller and a very
dear friend of mine. I hope you won't be

a nuisance to him. Your room is down the
hall.

Those are the signatures of all the
guests who have stayed in this room.

My dad's coming to pick me up in two
weeks.

So he says.

So, uh, Grandma?

Grandmother will be fine.

Grandmother, is there Wi-Fi?

You know, Internet.

Over my dead body.

There's plenty of things to do around
here.

You can help Miguel with the peacocks.

Clear the table, do the dishes.

You'll do your own laundry, of course.

Dinner's about 5.30. You can come a
little before and have some iced tea.

You might want to freshen up after your
journey.

Okay.

It's so strange that we haven't met
before.

Are you looking for something?

I was making a mess.

I got lost.

This is my room. You'll have no need to
come in here.

Do you take lemon in your iced tea,
Ella?

Yeah. By that, do you mean yes?

Yes, thank you.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Come on, buddy. You've been waiting a
long time for these treats.

Come on, baby.

Come on, come on.

Do you taste, Ella?

What?

Say pardon.

Pardon.

Do you like to fish?

No. Why do you?

Oh, heavens no. I just assumed that your
father had taken you out.

Only once.

He came by our house at like four in the
morning and they... Was it like four in

the morning or was it four in the
morning?

It was four in the morning.

And basically I slept through the whole
thing.

That shows remarkable judgment on your
part.

He caught four bass and a couple of
snappers on my line.

After that as a joke, he liked to say I
was a great fisherwoman.

I've been reading this marvelous book on
the wars.

Which wars?

Don't be a philistine.

You sound exactly like your father.

The wars.

Evelyn.

Evelyn War.

The tribes have revisited.

The Pine and Falls.

Wild Bodies.

Me. Wow.

You look ravishing.

How was your nap?

Well, the sound of the peacocks makes
for an unusual lullaby.

Oh.

You must be Ella.

Well, how do you do?

Ella, meet our honored guest, Mr.
Christopher Abercrombie.

You must be excited to see the legendary
von Stern collection in tissue.

I haven't thrown her the library.

I'm planning my next expedition.

Do you have any ideas?

Surely it must be due for another jaunt
across the pond.

Oh, London again?

Well, you could always visit Hallowell's
in Cecil Court. Though I must tell you,

that counts cot he was so proud of.
Which proved to be a forgery after all.

Yes. I always thought there was
something shady about Hallowell. You

have no idea.

Oh, well, I'm hoping you'll tell me
later.

I will, indeed.

Um, since Mom got sick, we've been
taking vacations on the computer.

One time, she picked Machu Picchu, and
the ink has made the whole place like an

observatory. And at the equinox, the
light from the sunrise was aligned, and

it filled the whole temple.

She sounds a little bit like Edmund.

Perhaps I should visit Peru.

Remember, my nephew's coming in a few
days.

He's going to help us finish our
cataloguing project.

Yes, I just don't like the idea of...

Someone new looking over my collection.
After all, I know perfectly well what I

have. It must be done. You've got such
valuable volumes.

I suppose you're right.

Excuse me.

Can I ask you about the Kepler book?

My mum said I should ask you about it.

Yes, you may ask me.

Kepler Plumneum Lunare.

She's Dream of the Moon.

It's extremely rare.

There are only two surviving copies in
the world.

Two? Why don't they just print more?

Oh, dear.

You don't know about first editions, do
you? It was published in the 17th

century. Edmund gave it to me.

Yes, and he outbid me for it, the
lucky... But that was how I came to meet

your grandmother.

Kepler was one of the great early
astronomers and mathematicians, like

Galileo. He was the one who discovered
that planetary orbits weren't circular,

they were elliptical.

What your grandfather especially revered
about him, though, was that he had a

wild imagination.

He thought the Earth had a soul.

And his book was his dream of travel to
the moon.

He imagined a lunar expedition over
three centuries before the Apollo

astronauts ever got there.

The other original was auctioned off
last month for over $200,000.

Christopher.

I'm sorry. It was indiscreet of me to
mention the value of the Somnium.

You mentioned its price, not its value.

Certainly not to me.

Well, at the very least, you must keep
it locked away.

What is the point of one having a
treasure if one can't enjoy it?

Oh.

Are you going to just play with your
food, or will you actually eat it?

I don't eat buffalo.

Suit yourself.

This wolfgang adores it. Wolfie!

There. It gets cold at night.

Oh. Oh, my. You have... You have a good
collection here.

Yeah, thank... Yeah, thank you.

Uh, do send your mother my good wishes.

Dear Mom, well, here I am.

Reporting in from the House of Mud.

Your name's on the wall in my room. It
makes me feel better that you once

stayed here.

It's weird. There are a lot of pictures
of Edmund, but only one or two of Dad.

It's like he hardly exists.

Annie Irene told me that the radiation
is making you feel like a pizza stuck in

a microwave too long.

I don't like thinking of you getting
nuked.

I'm sending you lots of love.

Oh, and the DM sends her good wishes,
too.

GM. The general major.

That's what I'm calling grandmother.

But not so she can hear me.

I miss you.

I love you.

Ella.

What happened?

Did something happen?

Happened? Certainly something has
happened. It's called mourning.

You really mustn't waste the best part
of the day.

I guess sleeping past seven is an
offense here at the Good Grammar

Correctional Facility.

I guess someone hasn't heard of
something called summer.

Oh, you're awake.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This afternoon, I'm going into town for
a hair appointment and to run a few

errands, and I thought perhaps you might
like to join me.

Um, actually, Miguel said I could feed
the peacocks with him, and Rosie might

come over.

Then, um... Why do people say, um,
instead of simply not speaking?

That's an ugly syllable.

Well, I'm glad Miguel is keeping you
busy.

You know, there used to be a whole bunch
of peacocks around here.

How many?

Oh, I don't know.

I could never get them to line up so I
could count them.

Oh, hey, can I tell you something cool
about those trees?

Sure. Well, you know how your grandpa
was an astronomer?

I hardly know anything about him. Well,
he was an astronomer and a romantic.

For a wedding gift, he planted all those
trees there in the shape of the Big

Dipper.

Cottonwood constellations, he called it.

Yeah, well, you can't see much of it
anymore, but the pattern's still there.

You know, there used to be a whole bunch
of horses around here.

This old mare here, Miss V rescued her.

She's the last one left.

There used to be all kinds of animals
around here. We had roadrunners and

skunks.

Skunks? Mm-hmm.

She named them like pets, like Chanel
No. 5 and good old Arpège.

Me and your father, we grew up with
animals all around us.

We would ride through the alfalfa fields
all the way to Circle C.

Our dads were best friends.

My dad never told me about this place.

He doesn't come up here much anymore.

Hi.

Howdy. Hi.

Looking for Mrs. Stern?

Von Stern.

Ella?

I'll take them to see your grandma.

Okay. Come on.

You don't understand.

While Christopher is staying here,
there's no need for that kind of

language. Look, it's just completely
inconvenient.

Having a little litten in on me? There
is simply no room at the inn. Oh,

Jackson.

Is this your idea of work at Hyatt?

Oh, my goodness, what are you all doing
here?

And who are you?

Violet, allow me to introduce my nephew,
Jackson Reeves.

Here to do the cataloguing. Hey.

What's up?

Can he read?

Let's all get to work.

Shall we?

What?

Wow.

Jason?

Jackson.

Well, this is new.

Have you been cheating on me?

Eagle eye.

There are other booksellers in the
world, though.

That's Michael Collins.

Well, you're quite right.

That's who it is.

They couldn't have done the Apollo
mission without him.

You know, your grandfather was... Very
helpful to NASA.

Collins said of him, Edmund felt as
though the stars were his friends.

And he always knew exactly when and
where they were going to appear in the

sky. Like a travel agent to the stars.

I like that.

Do you know what stern means, Ella?

No. It means star in German.

When your grandfather and I married, he
wanted me to keep my maiden name, which

is von Stern.

He loved the fact that it meant from the
start.

She has an enormous collection, by the
way.

There may be some duplications.

The spreadsheet or something?

Yes, it's on the desk.

Please, Jane.

Take that!

You're not wearing gloves!

I didn't know!

Perhaps you're right, Christopher.
Perhaps one should keep these treasures

locked away.

Especially from children.

Geez, not that grande, is it?

It's big enough to drown people.

Seriously? Our grandpa's drowned in that
river.

Today is all about fun.

Let the dead lie in peace.

Hey, let's go back to the hill, huh?

I thought someone was going to find us,
Papa.

Guys!

Mija, go get Paloma.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's going to be all right, okay? Just
breathe.

There you go. Just breathe in and out.

All right?

You're having a tough summer, aren't
you?

I know. It'll be all right.

You go back, Mija. We'll meet you at the
state.

It's going to be all right.

You ready to get back on?

You want me to get back on that thing?

Sure.

It'll be all right.

We'll take it nice and slow, and we'll
walk.

Okay. Out of here.

All right? You ready?

Yeah, let's go.

You too.

That's my brave son.

Grab a hoe. I'll grab your foot.

There you go.

All right, Paloma.

I'll pretend none of this ever happened.

If you will.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Hey, and when we get back, I'll give you
last... I'll tell your grandma.

In a month, you'll be galloping past
Rosie and meeting her.

Miguel, what did Rosie mean about my
grandpa in the Rio Grande?

Father never told you?

No.

When your dad and I were kids, my father
used to take us fishing.

We were upstream.

It was early morning.

Your grandpa had a passion.

Sometimes stopped him from seeing what
was right in front of him.

He was always looking up to the sky.

He was too busy to see what was on the
ground right in front of him.

The current was strong up there.

My dad, he jumped in and tried to pull
him out, but a current that

strong, it takes seconds to pull you
under.

Sometimes, a rescue, it don't work out.

Sometimes.

I suppose the other way.

Come on.

I'll pick you all up after dinner, okay?

Okay. All right.

Your mom?

She's pretty sick?

Yeah.

Yes.

She's got leukemia.

It's a kind of cancer.

They've tried other stuff, and now
they're trying this extreme thing called

a stem cell transplant.

But what it's got to do with stems, I've
never understood.

Who would take care of you if... Would
you go stay with your dad?

Or your grandma?

Definitely not her.

Dad says her bark is worse than her
bite.

I don't know. Her bark's pretty bad if
you ask me.

I think your mom's going to make it.

That's what my abuelito is telling me.

Your abuelito? My grandpa.

The one who drowned with yours.

He talks to you?

I wish mine would talk to me.

My grandmother's book.

That's how she talks to my grandfather.

Hey, I hear that book is worth loads of
money.

Can't let children get their hands on
it. I'm not a child.

All right, then enlighten me, oh wise
one.

How do you get online here?

Why don't you try this bridge?

Sometimes works.

All right.

You know, it's those stupid trees.
They're blocking my signal.

They're not just trees.

They're cottonwoods, and they make this
kind of smell.

They were planted in the pattern of the
Big Dipper.

Seriously? Yeah, if you start at the
driveway, and then you follow the

perimeter. They make the shape of Ursa
Major.

Cool.

Dad? Bella.

Hold on a minute.

Dad? Bella, it's Dad.

Dad, I can hardly hear you.

Yeah, honey, that's probably because I'm
out at the river.

Thanks. Better get back to Durster in
one.

Hey, how you and the old dragon getting
along, huh?

Okay, I guess.

She fed you to the peacocks yet? Not
yet.

She's got a hell of a lot of stuff,
doesn't she, honey?

That's an expletive, Dad.

and you're not supposed to call it stuff
well you know she's probably at the

cemetery today it's july 1st you know my
dad wait what about the cemetery never

mind honey it's it's so when are you
coming to get me listen sweetie that's

one of the reasons i was calling i had a
brand new piece of business come up

honey but i don't think okay dad so you
know thanks for calling

Don't

Can you come out here?

I don't know where my dad is.

I woke up and needed to talk to him, and
he's gone.

Gone? You mean he's just gone?

Give me a break, I was asleep.

What was that?

Probably just a peacock.

So when did you last see him?

When I went to sleep.

But you didn't tell me.

That sounds like a gun!

Where's that coming from?

What the hell are you doing out here?
It's fine, Grandmother. Are you?

What on earth is going on?

Violet, are you all right? There was
just some kind of disturbance.

I heard gunshots. I'll take a look.

That must be the police now.

Girls, go back inside.

Please, now.

Hurry up.

Miss V, you all right?

Miguel, is that you?

Out there, hunting in the middle of the
night? Thought I heard something, trying

to scare him off. And? Did you see who
it was?

No.

Whoever he or they were, they took off.

Well, where was he?

I'm sure it was just a peephole. We
thought we saw something by the library.

The library?

I'm going to go with you.

You girls stay here, all right?

Yeah, hold on, I'll stay here.

Right behind you, they go.

It's gone.

Do you know anyone who might want this
book?

Well, that would be a handful of people
in the world. Not a few people even know

this book exists, though.

And what about the code for the library?
Have you ever given that out?

Well, Miguel runs the draft. Of course
he has it.

I can't think of anyone else who has the
code.

We need to talk.

What is it?

Your general major, since my dad took
the book.

Not just her.

Also... Her expletive-deleted guess.

Expletive-deleted? That's what Mom and I
call words like that. Comes from

President Nixon.

Mom said that he had a foul mouth, like
my dad.

Listen, I know it wasn't your dad.

I think Abercrombie took it.

He was dressed that night under his
bathrobe.

Maybe Jackson helped.

Your dad swears a lot? When I see him,
which is never.

He lives in another state.

My parents have what you might call
extreme divorce.

I guess they just woke up one day and
realized they hate each other's guts.

They forgot to notice that when they got
married.

I'm worried that might happen to us.

My mom's mad at my dad for staying here
at the trailer.

Well, at least your dad knows how to be
a dad.

Mine never got the manual.

Did you have to get a good look at the
guy you took the warning shot at at all?

Barkley, it was dark.

Yeah, I mean, sure, but what about
direction? Barkley, what do you

understand here? It was dark.

Yeah. Can we do this later, please?

Oh, yeah.

Sure. Thank you.

Rosie, we're late.

How can you work for someone like that?

Get in the car.

Let her take care of herself.

Why don't you just calm down, please?

All right, let's talk this out.

No, no, but Miguel grew up with Walter.

They played like brothers together. Oh,
he was so marvelous with the horses,

with the dogs.

It's often that way. People closest to
home in whom one has entrusted so much.

Were you eavesdropping? It's a loathsome
practice.

I just got here.

Help yourself to cereal.

Miguel didn't take that book.

Given the history, it's no wonder he'd
have it out for his family.

After Miguel's father drowned... He
drowned saving my grandpa.

But it was an accident. Edmund didn't
just fall in.

Walter was being his usual daredevil
self. When he fell, Edmund jumped in to

pull him to shore.

In seconds...

He was sucked below.

Francisco jumped in after him.

They never surfaced.

It was Walt's carelessness that took
both fathers away.

I suspect Miguel Aguilar has hated this
family ever since.

Miguel moved away after.

Violet got rid of most of the horses and
peacocks.

Walter went away to school soon after.

Your grandmother couldn't bear having
anyone else around.

I'm going to find out who took it.

I want to see what the police have to
say about that.

Watching your dad drown.

Getting sent away to boarding school.

I guess life wasn't a picnic for you
either.

Walter McKenzie.

Extreme childhood.

Dear Mom.

I finally got to see the Kepler book you
told me about.

It's beautiful.

Or it was beautiful.

The problem is gone.

Someone stole it.

The way the GM is acting, you'd think
someone had died.

Which I guess they did.

A long time ago.

I heard how Edmund drowned in the Rio
Grande.

So now I know what you meant about
ghosts.

It's like turning over a rock.

But instead of beetles coming out, it's
stories.

Get better sooner.

So you think that I should fire Miguel?

Well, Mr. Aguilar has many fine
qualities, but the question is, will you

ever feel at ease with him here?

He's been awfully quiet all week. Not
himself.

And you must go with your instincts.

What are you doing?

I am transferring the book titles from
this dinosaur to my laptop.

Gosh, this is insane.

Who collects books like this?

The Sorrows of Young Werther, The Worst
Journey in the World, The Buildings of

England, and The Englishness of English
Art.

What does Lightly Fox mean?

It's age-related spots.

Like your grandmother's.

You like astronomy?

Astronomy? The stars. Polaris. Like your
sweatshirt.

Oh.

Polaris is a sci-fi convention in
Ontario.

You know.

Toronto Trek.

It's awesome.

Doctor Who, Star Trek. I try to go every
year. Last year I saw Tony Amendola and

Wil Wheaton.

I know, it's...

Pretty nerdy. No, it's cool.

Are you and your uncle close?

He's been helping my mom out over the
years.

You know, not with college tuition and
all.

So money goes a long way.

What about your dad?

Out of the picture.

Mine too, basically.

Having a listen-in, are we?

Jackson, can I have a word with you in
private, please?

I thought we were just doing a little
shoplifting, and now we're talking major

ice. Yes, but our accomplice is no Cary
Grant.

He was spooked by the gunshots, and he
hid it on the property.

Rosie? Where are you?

Up here.

I'm leaving in a few days. When this
bloody dust is sucking through, I need

you to bring it to me.

All right.

Where did he hide it?

And who exactly is this guy? Are they
having a fight or are they making a

plan?

This is not what I signed up for.

Let's not forget what you owe me. I
haven't, but I don't want to get caught.

Look,

I can't go and get it.

She's watching me like a hawk. So now
you're going to throw me under the bus?

I'm not throwing you under the bus, but
I will remind you.

That your tuition is due next month.
Wow.

Ah,

bloody peacocks. Wish I had a rifle.

I only wish I could stay longer to help
you.

Yet, duty calls.

Jackson will be finished with the
cataloguing in a few days. Well, I hate

to see you go.

Well, you should take that trip to Peru,
my dear.

It would be the world of good.

May we help you?

Actually, I can't help you with your
bag.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, no.

Well, surely, Miguel... But I want to
help.

Well, that's... Very generous of you,
Ella.

No, I'll take care of it.

No, no, I'll take care of that.

That's much too heavy for you, Ella.

That won't be necessary.

I'll just carry this out for you. No.
I'm so sorry.

Stop.

Do you mind?

These are my personal effects. What is
going on in here?

He has your wall book. No, no, no, no,
no, no.

inadvertently found her way into my
suitcase.

He has your war book.

Oh, that's a copy, you little twerp.
Christopher, no need to be so rude.

Excuse me.

Really.

It's been so long.

Yeah. Your daughters are picking up
right where we left off, huh? Yeah, they

are.

Hey, I've got to tell you, I'm going to
call me to the airport, and we'll get

together later.

I'd like that.

All right. It's good to see you. Yeah,
you too.

Excuse me.

A little late to the party, then, you
think?

Yeah.

Hey, well, old girl, I...

How you doing? You look good.

Ella, were you aware that your father
was visiting today?

Not exactly.

Well, I figured you may have a vacancy
with Abercrombie gone, you know.

I can't believe you're really here.

Yeah.

It's crazy, right? I've been here 24
days.

Has it been that long?

Yeah, it's been that long.

My trip to Yakima took a week longer
than I actually thought, and I just...

I've actually got a really funny story
about that.

Did you forget your dad manual?

What do you mean by that?

I forgot you never had one.

This is your cab, my friend.

Yeah, yeah.

I get it.

We were supposed to be joining us for
lunch, do you think?

Just so you know, Abercrombie lied.

We've already had this discussion, Ella.
That Willow book he had. It was an old

copy, not a new one. Plenty of people in
the world read Evelyn Wall, even if your

father didn't.

Decline and fall.

Maroon cover.

Lightly frocks copy.

I'm not as much of a Phyllis fan as you
think.

I see you're still surviving on a pate
diet, my mother.

Better than six.

Oh!

Grandmother?

I believe I owe you an apology.

You're right about Christopher.

Seems he's been pilfering all along.

Who knows what else is going.

I guess he finally set his sights on the
thumbnail.

I'm sorry, Grandmother.

I know he was your friend.

Isn't that rather formal?

What? I mean, pardon?

Grandmother, isn't there something
shorter that you could call me?

How about Jim?

Oh, I see. Or Grandmother. Or in German,
Grossmutter.

Or maybe even, you know, General Major?

Yes, occasionally General Major.

After all, someone who has to keep
things tip-tape certainly won't be the

junior officers.

There was a line of Carl Sagan's that
Edmund loved to quote.

One glance at a book and you hear the
voice of another person, perhaps someone

dead, speaking silently and clearly
directly to you.

You know, Ella, some things in life get
lost and one

never does find them again.

I'm not giving up, Sam.

Noble sentiment.

Junior officers do have their youth.

What's up?

Young man, would you allow me to search
your bag?

Let yourself out.

You don't have to let me, of course.

If you have nothing to hide.

Happy? Jason.

Miss Jackson.

Whatever. Your services are no longer
required.

Fine.

I'll link up my stuff.

It took, like, eight adapters to make
your stupid computer work.

You, uh... You really want to find that
book, don't you?

My grandmother said it's the first
science fiction book.

Kepler wrote it 400 years ago.

Well, take it easy, life of the party.

I hope you find it, by the way.

Your Polaris, you know, your dream.

Keep searching.

So how many of these do you think you've
read so far?

Not many.

I'm hoping to get through all of them.

You?

No.

I always found it too hard to breathe in
this room.

My dad's moving back to the ranch.

But the DM didn't fire him.

He quit.

He doesn't want to work for somebody who
could think he's a thief.

My mom's happy.

She thinks there are bad spirits here.

Why? Because of the unhappy history.

Old lady will be by herself.

Maybe that's how she likes it.

It's T minus 16 days and counting.

Till I leave.

I hope it'll at least stay till then.

What are you doing out here?

Ah, I was just gonna go and have a talk
with Miguel. You know, we haven't had a

chance to catch up in a while, honey.
Dad's trailer's that way by the

windmill. I didn't even think to look in
the trailer. I will.

And, uh, this is embarrassing.

Your dad's more coordinated than this.

Hey, Dad, wait up.

We know Abercrombie took the book.

Abercrombie, huh?

I'll be damned.

Expeditive.

Your mom's still teaching you to be my
FCC, huh?

The book wasn't in Abakami's suitcase or
in Jackson's backpack.

Maybe somewhere here, so that he can
come back for it.

It's just a book, honey.

Let it go.

Come on.

Bella?

Get laid, sweetie. Let's get inside.

Hello? What's going on?

What is it, Irene?

Okay.

Yeah, all right.

Thanks for calling.

So, uh, Amy's not doing very well. She's
running a pretty high fever and... It's

vomiting blood. They think it's acute
GVHD, which is a graft versus post

-disease. It's when the body rejects the
new blood, so it just, uh... I have to

find Catherine's dream.

Hey, honey!

Belle! Belle!

Might as well give up.

She's as stubborn as her father.

She's doing this for you, Mother.

She'd think that book is the only thing
that you care about.

That book was a gift from my husband.

It wasn't just your husband.

You know that, right?

He was my dad, too. Yes, of course I
know that.

You know, it turns out that I lost my
home and my father the same summer you

sent me away to Thatcher. Is that
registered to you at all?

By the time I got back, you'd already
changed my bedroom into a guest room.

You signed the wall, didn't you?

You were always welcome.

As long as the timing was convenient,
isn't that right?

Well, your daughter's been here for
weeks.

Well, you've been out on the river with
your precious fish.

Maybe this time you could show up.

Where the hell were you that summer,
Mom?

Where were you?

I'll tell you where you were. You were
in London with your nose buried in some

rare book.

That's where you were.

You think Ella feels welcome here, do
you?

She doesn't even know you. But whose
fault is that?

It's everyone's fault.

It's everyone's.

Do you think Amy's going to die?

All that little nose day of fish hooks
you left on Edmund's grave.

I figured they'd last longer than
flowers, you know.

So you did visit on the first?

Of course I did, Mother.

I marked a date as well.

Before we said goodbye, my mom told me
that she might die in L.A.

And if she did, I should think of her as
like... going back to the stars.

She said that's all we're ever made of
anyway, and that it's all the same

stuff.

Light and energy and matter.

She said if she died, I wasn't supposed
to feel too terrible.

I should look up at the stars and
imagine her up there somehow, with them

floating around the galaxy.

You can see the stars really well, don't
they?

There's Orion.

Orion's a hunter.

And the two stars at the end of the Big
Dipper point in the way to Polaris.

He said I should find Polaris.

Who? Jackson.

If these cottonwoods are the Big Dipper,
and the Big Dipper points to the North

Star... The North Star is a trooper.

It's awesome.

It's beautiful like a book of magic.

It was my dad.

He took Hepler's dream.

He was working with Abercrombie.
Abercrombie was going to sell it, but my

dad actually took it.

He was working with Abercrombie. I'm
sure he has an explanation.

Don't even bother, Mano.

I think you should leave.

How could anyone do that? You don't come
back the whole time I'm here.

And then you suddenly sneak back to
steal that book.

What kind of a dad does that?

Maybe someone who never even wanted to
be a dad in the first place. Stop it.

Stop it.

I always wanted to be your dad.

I'm sorry about this, all right?

It's my fault. Sorry.

I saw you the other night running away,
you know.

And I didn't tell anybody.

Even when they suspected me.

Give me the jacket, please.

It's not in there.

Your dad had 174,000 reasons to do it.

It's about the hospital bill for Amy.

I always had faith in you, Armando.

You did this for my mom?

Where did you get this? Did you go see
her?

Yeah, honey.

I went and saw your mom.

Can we go see her now, together?

Thank you for letting my dad stay GM.

Oh, Ella.

Life is complicated, isn't it?

You think you know people, and then they
surprise you.

I wanted to tell you something.

Right before I found the book, I asked
Edmund for help.

The stars helped me find it.

Cottonwood, too.

He was talking to me.

I know you're staying a little longer in
the hospital to get stronger.

I like the sound of that.

I'm okay here now.

This is turning out to be a better
summer than I expected.

Rosie's mom and dad are back together
again at the Circle C.

They cooked a delicious meal to
celebrate the blue moon.

Thank you.

Just in time, Miss B. Don't want to miss
the Blue Moon Festival dinner.

No, ma'am. Hope you're hungry.

A toast.

To family.

To family.

La familia.

The GM showed up and ate with us.

Even though there was salsa on the table
and no pate at all.

Dad's been staying on at the house.

A few more stories have come out, but
not so many ghosts.

I miss you.

I love you.

Ella.

You're all loaded with gear in case the
fish are biting on the way back.

Dad?

This time, I promise I'll stay awake.

You bet.

Sorry, we're late.

Oh, my gosh.

LRB, look at you.

You've grown up so much.

Horseback rider, peacock lover,
detective.

Oh, I've just been flat on my back doing
nothing.

It's not nothing, Mom.

You've been on a mission.

We both have been.

It shouldn't have come to this for you
to meet your grandmother.

She wants me to travel with her to Peru.

You should do that.

I have a joke. Okay. Knock, knock. Who's
there?

To. To who? To whom?

Da!

Listen, I'm sorry. I thought I had a way
to cover this, but I think I'm going to

need to speak to one of your advisors
about a payment plan.

Between the two of these cards, I think
I can do up to 18.

And I've already been approved for a
pretty high-limit card, which will...

Her last name's the same?

Well, we... McKenzie, yeah.

Amy? Yeah.

Okay.

There appears to be a zero balance on
this account.

What do you mean?

I think all the bills have been taken
care of.

Looks like, um, Mrs.

Stern... Yvonne Stern.

...took care of all Mrs. McKenzie's
bills in full.

Yeah.

Okay, I think we're ready.

Okay.

Let's do this. I almost forgot.

Violet had asked me to give that to you.

Dear Ella, the contents of this package
may surprise you.

Your father and I stayed up talking
rather late one night before you left.

I told Walter that I had a gift for him.

As I thought it was important he have a
meaningful keepsake of his father.

He told me that it was better for this
gift to go to you and your mother. He

moves around too much.

And he knows you'll take good care of
it.

GM.

Go on.

Go home.

Break? Break.

There you go. Dear GM, thank you.

I did find my mom again.

She was right there where she was
supposed to be.

Just like Polaris.

You want to give your mom a hand? I'll
grab the bag.

Hey. Son.

Come here.

If we were in a movie, this would be
where the music would swell, the mom and

dad might exchange looks, and you would
realize the parents might get back

together after all, after making it
through a tough time.

My life is in the movie.

But that's okay though, because it does
have a happy ending.

The happy ending is that Mom got better,
and Dad got a lot easier to reach.

Mom takes very good care of the Somnium.

She agrees with something you once said.

That an object so treasured shouldn't be
locked away where it can't be enjoyed.

She wants it on hand to remind her of
everything that happened that summer to

all of us.

I miss you. I love you.

Ella.

How long would it take me to fly to the
stars? If nothing's impossible,

nowhere's too far.

I will wake up one morning and open my
eyes.
