- Moving back, it's just gonna be so good for you, for us.

- Welcome to Landry Farm.

- Your letter was so touching. - Letter?

What are you talking about?

- I never asked for a new start!

- Alice, please, stop!

She does not know this town.

- Alice will be fine. - Well, Jacob wasn't.

(coughing)

- I'm Katherine Landry, but everyone just calls me Kat.

- If you ever need to talk, I'm here. Any place, any time.

- I need your help, right here, right now.

Hey, you reached Alice.

Leave a message, or don't, whatever.

(beep)

- Ali? It's me. Um...

Please, just... just come home.

Baby, I...

you were right, okay?

It... it was a mistake to come here, but we can...

We'll figure this out together, okay? I... I love you.

You are my everything, kiddo. You know that?

(eerie music)

Okay, um... call me, okay?

Please, just... bye.

I... I love you.

- Mom!

- Hey! Have you heard from her?

- No. I was hoping you had.

- Where the hell is she, Brady?

- She's hiding somewhere, okay?

You told her about Rachel and she reacted.

I should have told her, Kat. I'm really sorry.

(breathing heavily)

Kat? Hey, just pull over. Okay? Take a breath.

- I can't do this again.

I can't do this again! What if she's gone?

(sigh)

- Hey, this isn't Jacob.

Okay? Alice is fine.

It's not like then.

(sobbing)

Do you hear me, Kat? Kat?

Kat?

Kat? Hello?

Tell me what your plan is.

And where's Del?

Kat? Kat?

(deep exhale) - She's been out all night

searching too... only because I asked.

You know Mom.

Nothing fazes her.

- Appreciate you keeping an eye out, Chief Adams.

It's probably just a teenage cry for attention.

Yeah. Right. Thanks.

(soft flute music)

- It's not that I don't believe you, it's just...

well, when somebody tells you that they've travelled

through time, you need to look at it from all of the angles.

And you need evidence.

- What do you want, my DNA? - Could you?

(clears throat) Sorry.

Um... why don't you tell me

something else about the future, then?

Okay, wait, there is no way that guy becomes president.

So, this is... your portal, huh?

- Well, when you say it like that, it sounds dumb,

but yeah, I... fell in and came up here,

so maybe if I jump back in, I'll come up back home.

- Seems logical.

Also insane.

- You believe me in my time,

and you basically told me this would happen

and that you'd help.

I know you in the future.

(chuckling) - Right.

Uh... so, if you're Kat's kid in the future,

then... well, who's your dad?

- Ew! Obviously not you, dude! You're just my science teacher.

Okay. (deep exhale)

I just... have to be brave.

If I go in and I don't come up,

will that be enough proof for you?

- Maybe. Or you'll just be dead at the bottom of the pond.

- You're gonna take me seriously, someday,

sometime, promise.

- Alice?

Alice? Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Alice! Ah! Alice!

Where are you! Alice!

Where are you?

***

- Jacob's out there, and we'll find him.

(sobbing)

Oh, sweetheart.

A Landry never gives up hope.

(deep exhale)

- Oh, thank God! Ali. Thank God!

- Mom, I'm so sorry.

- What happened? Where were you?

- I... I was here, but I... I didn't mean to go, honest.

And I was just trying to find my way back home.

- Wait, you... you were trying to get back to Dad?

- What? No.

- What were you going to do?

You were going to hitchhike?

I mean, seriously, Alice?

- No! And look, it doesn't matter,

I'm back and we're both here now

and I think everything's gonna be okay!

- Do you...

have any idea what you put me through

these past 12 hours?

And your grandmother? What... For some selfish stunt?

- It wasn't a stunt, I don't know what it was!

I just... I'm back, okay?

- When are you going to grow up

and realize that your actions have consequences?

- What happened to you?

- I can ask you the same question.

(Kat crying)

Get dressed...

and get in the car.

You're going to be going to school,

and that is it for a very long time!

You are so grounded!

- You're not gonna solve this by locking me away!

(door slams)

(sigh)

(footsteps approaching)

- See, I told you she'd come home.

- Don't.

(door closes)

(indistinct whispers)

- Alice! Oh, my God, you're here!

- Uh... yeah. I am.

Okay, what is going on?

- We all heard you went missing. - Oh, God.

- No, it's okay, and running away

is so much better than arson.

- I never set fire to anything.

- We're just glad you're okay.

- Thanks, but honestly, I'm fine.

- Wait, wait.

I wanted to show you this.

My mom showed it to me.

That's her, right next to your mom.

Crazy, right? They're so different, now.

- I mean, I would just like to know if that girl

gave any thought at all to what disappearing

would do to your whole... - Rita, it's over.

She came home. I knew she would.

She's just like Kat.

All drama, no delivery.

- Del, you can't be so naive

as to think that your life's gonna go back to normal

now that those two have invaded!

I mean, look at last night, for heaven's sake!

It was like some...

(sighs) ...some sick deja vu.

(sighs)

Look, I'm just saying

they could ruin all of the good solid healing

that you've done.

That you're about to do.

Did you even tell Kat about this weekend?

- I will, when I'm ready.

- I can't believe she came home now.

- Well, she came home

because somebody sent her my letter.

- Oh, no, come on, it wasn't me!

You think I would stick my nose into all this messy business?

Look, it doesn't matter who sent it,

I can see clear as day that it's gonna cause trouble.

And if your daughter pushes you back

just when you're about to take this giant leap forward,

she'll answer to me.

(birds chirping)

(phone ringing)

(deep exhale)

- Hey.

- Any sign of her?

- I was just about to call.

She's... she's back.

- Oh, my God! Oh... can I talk to her?

- Um... I already dropped her off at school, actually, so...

- You had time to take her to school?

- I know, I know, I'm...

I'm sorry, I forgot to call,

it's been an emotional morning.

(sigh) - Yeah. It's fine.

Honestly, it's fine, as long as Alice is okay.

- Maybe we should just come home.

I mean, it's obviously not working here.

Alice tried to make a break for it,

and mom and I are barely speaking.

- Well, I may have a reason for you to stay.

I found out yesterday, but then, everything happened with Alice.

- What's going on?

- I was talking to this publishing house

that our firm represents.

I was telling them about, you know, your journey home

in the wake of a family tragedy.

They want you to write about it,

like about Jacob, about everything.

You know, one of those cold case, true crime,

family saga type things.

Kat, you have a book deal... if you want it.

- Okay.

Why are you doing this now?

- What do you mean? - Trying to help me

in my career when... we're not even...

(sighs)

I left, Brady.

- Look, you didn't have a story until you left, so...

- Well, you are with Rachel now, so...

I can find my own book deals.

- How's that working out for you, Kat?

(scoffs)

Look, you know what, you do what you want, okay?

Just give it some thought, okay?

Maybe you're home for a bigger reason.

- So tomorrow around eight? - Yeah, sounds good.

- We need to talk about last night.

- And coming at me like that,

do you know what that looked like?

I'm lucky I wasn't fired, or arrested!

- Sorry, I'm... I'm just really freaking out!

- All right. Talk to me,

but with this door very, very open.

(clears throat) Proceed.

- You told me that you'd help me anytime and I think I know why.

Do you know what I know?

- Well, what do you know?

- Well, I don't know what I can say.

What if it causes some big time paradox thingy

and then, the universe implodes?

- Okay.

I know what you know. I was there, Alice.

I remember.

- Okay, so... I did time travel

and I'm Alice like my mom's friend Alice,

but also me Alice.

- You are one and the same.

- Well, how does my mom not see that?

She... She named me after... me.

- Memories are mercurial.

Your mom's seen you grow and change since birth.

Also, she doesn't see it because it's... well,

technically impossible, so...

- But you believe me now even though you didn't this morning?

- Well, that morning was two decades ago,

but yes, I remember.

You went in that pond and didn't come out,

and then, I started to believe.

(chuckling) I even tried following. No luck.

Time travel only works for you.

- Why me?

- I wish I knew.

But the pond has no explanations, only rules,

and I bet you figured out the big one.

The amount of time you're gone from now is equal

to the time you spend back then, so from now on,

be smart about when you take your trips.

Pick times when you're not missed much here.

- Wait, wait... I go back?

I... that wasn't just a one time thing?

When... when do I go back? And what... what happens?

- Okay! Well, thanks for dropping by.

- I... I met Jacob.

He was really special, wasn't he?

- Yes, he was.

I'll see you later.

(indistinct chatter)

- You be the reporter and I'll be your photographer.

Like a team, solving cases.

We'll be heroes,

and heroes always leave their mark.

See? J and K to the rescue! (laughing)

- What are you doing?

- Oh, well, I'm glad to see

that you didn't throw it all away.

Do you remember this?

- I do.

Now, you can... put it away.

- Can't you just sit here with me?

Talk about him? Please?

(sighs) - Let's talk about you.

Last night, you said you were thinking about leaving.

- Well, if you and I can't be open and honest with each other,

then maybe I just should leave.

- It is always all or nothing with you.

You can never meet someone halfway.

- Well, it's pretty all or nothing with you too,

especially when it comes to Jake... and Dad.

(sighs)

- I am tired of talking in circles, Katherine.

You don't have a job!

You have nowhere to go.

So, while you figure yourself out,

I suggest you make yourself useful.

- Okay.

Hi.

- Kat Landry?

- Monica. Wow! I...

You work here now?

- I own it. Crazy, right?

Now, when is the last time we saw each other?

High school grad?

Oh, my God, time flies! And you look... good.

- Uh... yeah, I brought Mom's honey over, so...

- Great, we can't keep this stuff in stock.

And it is so cute, you being Del's little assistant and all.

Come.

Sit.

So, have you kept in touch with anyone from school?

- I'm still super close with Elliot

since he moved back,

and I'm also very in touch with Trevor Hill.

(laughing) - Spillski?

That guy was such a klutz, right?

And he... he actually made it to adulthood? That's...

What is that guy up to these days?

- He's married...

to me.

- No kidding!

Well, congrats! That's, um... that's great.

All I wanted to do is just get out of here.

(chuckling) - Yes. And now, you're back.

So, let's talk experience, huh?

- I'm sorry?

- Or you could just give me your resume

and I could look it over?

- Is this like a job interview?

- Del didn't say? She set this up.

She told me about you getting fired.

Ugh. And I said, "You know what? I'll help a girl out."

I always need wait staff, so... - No, no, no,

I... I don't need a job.

I've landed a book deal.

- Mm. - So, yeah, right?

(chuckling)

- Sorry, I guess I misunderstood, then.

- Yes, you did.

So, if you will excuse me, I'm just gonna...

- Do you need a pen? Some paper?

- Thanks. - Yeah.

- Great service. - Mm-hmm.

(birds chirping)

- How was school? - It was... you know, school.

- It was nice of Zoey and Spencer

to get you a ride home. They're good kids.

- Maybe that'll rub off on you.

You know, I had a nice little catch-up with my high school

nemesis when I dropped off your honey.

- Only trying to help you get back on your feet.

- By throwing me under the bus?

I mean, why did you tell Monica that I don't have a job?

- Because you don't.

- Actually, I do. I...

I got an offer to write a book.

- Seriously? About what?

- Jacob... and that time.

- Why would you do that?

- I guess it could be cathartic.

This is a book!

I mean... it's my dream!

- It's wrong and you can't do it.

- Okay, can someone tell me what happened to Jacob?

How he went missing?

- Now is not the right time, Alice.

- Really? But it's a fine time

to write a family tell-all about it?

You guys used to love each other.

You were happy.

What happened?

- That is a damn good question.

- I think we both know why we are exactly

the way we are. - Maybe,

but the world doesn't,

so don't write that book!

(insects chirping)

- Thanks for the text.

- Thank you for bringing the wine.

(chuckling)

Um...

Alice asked about... Jacob, at dinner.

- She was bound to.

(sighs)

- Sorry, is this weird? - No, no, it's fine.

It's how we were.

- It's easy to fall into old habits. Memories.

Hey, do you remember our friend Alice?

- Oh... yeah, sort of.

- I found a polaroid of me and her.

You know, that... summer and fall,

like, she was a part of all of it.

- You say you have a photo of her?

- Yeah, it's blurry, so I can't make her out...

Which is fitting because Alice seems more like an energy to me

now than a person.

It's funny how memories are.

- I will drink to that.

(phone ringing)

- Dad, I'll talk when I'm ready.

- Okay, um... look, I know you're angry, Ali, I just...

It's just really good to hear your voice.

I was worried sick.

- Not worried enough to tell me to come home, though.

- It's complicated, kiddo.

But hey, there's room in the new place for you, always!

- Yeah. A place for me and for Rachel.

- Yeah, and for Rachel.

- Okay.

Uh... well, thanks,

but I actually have to go.

- Alice, please... - Homework.

- But if we could just talk about--

(enchanting music)

(panting)

(crying)

- It didn't work!

- What? - The time travel. It...

You said I go back, but I can't.

The pond won't let me and I need to know why!

- I don't know, honestly.

- Okay, aren't you supposed to be my guru or whatever?

- Give a guy a little time to be

the Giles to your Buffy, all right?

- The who to my what? - Ugh... I cry for Gen Z.

- What if I mess something up?

You said I could go back, but what if me telling you

my secret in the present has ruined my chances

in the past, somehow?

- Calm down.

The pond works in mysterious ways.

It sends you when and where it wants you to go.

- Okay, so what are you saying?

- Maybe it wasn't your time to go.

Maybe you need to spend a little time here.

- You're an early riser.

That'll come in handy.

(light music)

- Thanks so much!

Have a great day. Oh, honey, put it right here.

- Well, well, well, morning, all!

- Morning, Rita. How's it going?

- Eh, a little slow start, but it'll pick up.

Summer folk love their sleep-ins, right?

- Hey, Rita? This is my granddaughter, Alice.

- Glad to see you found your way home.

- Well, we've got a lot to set up, here.

- Oh, hey! New guy, 3 o'clock. - Oh.

- Morning, Delilah. - Good morning, Byron.

- So, what is good today?

- Well, the carrots are doing really well for us

and the leeks are especially sweet.

- I'll bet. Sounds perfect.

- Tomato's on me. - Ah. Thank you.

- Oh, this is my granddaughter, Alice. Remember?

I told you that my daughter and she

were coming to stay with me. You know, just for... a while.

- Pleased to meet you at long last.

- Please, Byron, you just moved here.

- Six years, Rita. Six years.

- Byron runs the local paper,

the Herald, and the archives.

- Oh, yeah, that's really cool.

- It's quiet.

So, what do I owe you?

- Ah, just give me a five. - Oh, Del. Are you sure?

- Byron, you know I only gouge the tourists.

(chuckling)

- You're one in a million, Delilah.

Nice to meet you, Alice! Rita!

- Mm-hmm.

(knocking on door) - Ali?

(deep exhale)

(soft music)

(sighs)

(indistinct chatter)

- Have you seen Jacob? Please, help me find my son.

My son Jacob is missing. Help us get our Jacob back.

- Please, help us, please.

- Did I do something wrong? - No, honey, just perfect.

Katherine! How nice of you to join us.

- We need to talk.

Why did you think you could bring her here

without even telling me?

- We left you a note.

(scoffs) Don't overreact.

- Don't interfere!

She is my kid.

- Well, you want your kid to be happy?

Don't lock her up.

- You ask me,

what all you Landrys need is closure.

- Can you tell me what really happened to Jacob?

How he went missing?

- Uh...

It's not for me to say.

- You want Alice to start a new life here.

- Yeah.

- But you're too busy dredging up the past.

It's selfish.

- Selfish?

You are the one that is so worried

about us invading your precious independent life,

and don't think that I didn't notice

your less than warm welcome home.

- I didn't ask you to come home.

- Yes, you did! I have the letter! And you...

Typical.

- Alice! How can I help you?

- You're in charge of the archives, right?

(birds chirping)

- Excuse me? - Sorry.

- No, no, no, wait, wait.

Danny?

Hi. It's... it's Kat.

Landry. How are you?

- Good.

- Hi, Daddy.

Yeah, I know, it's been a while...

and I'm sorry.

But I'm home now and...

Well, I...

I have a daughter and she's so much like you.

She's musical and she's smart and funny.

And...

I wish that you had met her.

Because you would know what to tell her.

You always did with me.

And I miss that.

(tense music)

(enchanting music)

- "Sister Katherine told police he was by her side one moment,

gone the next."

- Alice.

It's time to go.

- I'm sorry, I just needed to know.

- Do you see that?

I drive by that every day.

Do you see how close it is to the farm?

That's where my husband died...

three months after Jacob disappeared.

In a car accident.

I lost my whole world in three months.

- Your whole world except for Mom.

(sighs)

- I realize...

you deserve to know what happened.

But once you do,

we have to be done with it.

That is the only way this is gonna work.

- Yeah.

(door creaking)

- I went to the cemetery.

You officially declared Jacob dead.

- It was time.

That's... why I wrote you the letter.

I had...

gotten his death certificate and I felt you should know.

- So, that's the letter that you say you didn't send.

- I didn't! I knew how you would react.

- Because a Landry never gives up hope.

- She does if she's the only one left waiting.

You left. I've been waiting for Jacob

to walk through that door for 20 years

and he's not coming home.

- You don't get to decide that!

- Yes, I do. I have to.

- You are not the only one who lost him,

so stop acting like I don't count

because I'm the one that you think--

- Don't! Katherine, don't do that!

There's a small memorial for Jacob tomorrow.

The timing's not perfect,

but Rita and I planned it way before your arrival.

- What? No, you... you can't do that!

- Do you think this was an easy decision?

You haven't been here for 20 years

of tears and heartache.

- Because you wouldn't let me!

I tried, Mom, and you wouldn't let me.

- This is a book that I need to shut,

so please, stop trying to open it.

(deep breath)

- Thought I might find you here. - Oh.

Best place to get signal.

Go figure. (chuckling)

Hey, did...

did you know about tomorrow?

- Yeah, I did.

- Mom says that she wants to have a fresh start.

- Can you blame her?

I mean, you got one, when you left.

- Yeah, but then, I came back.

I... I don't know, I thought that it would all

just be waiting here.

Not just the hurt, but the...

the warmth, you know, the heart, family.

- It is, just different.

(sighs) - You divorced, you know,

and then, you moved back, so how did you do it?

How did you start over?

- Uh... honestly? I didn't, really.

No matter what I did out there,

I always knew I'd wind up back here.

Wherever I went, I had one foot in this town.

Guess I never left.

- A hero always leaves his mark.

We were supposed to be a team. - Hey.

- I was supposed to protect him!

(breathing heavily)

- Shh...

(door opens)

- Hey.

What are you doing up so late?

- Del told me about the memorial.

- Yeah.

- Do you ever wonder what happened to him?

- Every day since that day.

- I know you're willing to leave for me, but I want to stay.

I want to get to know my family, even the ones who are gone.

(soft music)

(birds chirping)

(sighs)

(laughing)

- Wakey, wakey.

- Jacob! (laughing)

Already?

Where is the snooze button?

Is it there? Is the snooze button there?

Did I sleep good? I don't know. Did I?

- Yes, you did. (laughing)

(deep exhale)

- That's a family heirloom.

When the Landrys first settled here,

they are the ones that started it.

And when a new family member was born,

they would add the name to the list,

and when they died,

they would write down the date,

close the book and move on.

At least that was... it was the idea.

But they're always in here,

if you just open up the book.

- Hey. You ready for this?

- Jacob loved these fields.

One day they were Narnia,

and another, the surface of some far away planet.

He dreamed... big dreams, my boy.

My perfect boy.

- Jacob's time on earth was short,

but it was meaningful.

He brought a light and love to so many of us.

- But now, it's time to say goodbye, to let him go.

(deep exhale)

I have to do this, Jacob.

Because I would rather remember you in love...

than in fear.

Because he was love.

My heart.

My baby.

- Well, I... I hope you can understand, right?

I mean, I just...

I just can't do it, you know,

not right now. Being here, it's... it's too important.

- But I don't get it, this book deal could be huge for you, Kat.

- Well, but it's not just about me, now.

You know, being here, it's... it's about family.

- So, you're officially staying, then?

- Yeah.

(indistinct shouting)

Yeah, and who knows?

Maybe I'll get to see the best part of my history

repeat itself.

(barking)

- Going somewhere?

- I have to see Jacob. I have to try.

I just don't get how I can miss someone

that I barely know, but here I am.

- I understand.

And talking about deja vu,

it's weird to see the other side of all this.

- It's... gonna work this time, right?

- If you don't come back up, I'll know, right?

(deep exhale)

(tense music)

(sighs)

- Hey.

Are you okay?

- I can't do it.

- It's okay. Just... let me.

(soft music)

(sniffling)

(sighs)

- I'm gonna get you! (laughing)

- Hi, Alice!

- Did you seriously fall in that pond again?

- Yeah, but I'm fine. I promise.

- Want to stay for dinner? - Absolutely.

- Okay. (laughing)

Come on, Jacob!

* Oh I want to fly away with you *

* Take off right on time *

* We're gonna leave our troubles behind *

* Wake up under blue skies *

* Cool breeze's gonna dry your eyes *

* Oh I want to fly away with you **
