Well, at the Springs, it's a sunny day out there.

Make sure to keep your hats on.

Ah, perfect, thank you.

Hi.

Uh, hi, uh, what can I get ya?

Hi, can I get an almond milk chai, please,

a large and a croissant as well?

- Great. - Thanks.

And, uh, your name?

- Charley. - Charley.

That'll be 5.50.

Great.

You're new.

You could say that.

What brings you to Latigo Springs?

A number of things.

- My mom grew up here. - Hmm.

- Charley. - That's my cue.

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?

Mm, five minutes.

Five minutes, of course.

What, what, what about something cold?

- Five minutes. - Five minutes.

I've been in line for 15.

You know what?

I'm gonna go somewhere else.

The service is terrible.

For wasting my time.

Sir, you can't take that.

Damn, ah.

- Hey, are you okay? - I'm okay.

- It's fine. - I can't believe he did that.

- Hey, Dad. - Oh, hi, honey.

- How was the trip? - Exhilarating.

You got a visitor inside.

Oh, uh, hey, Uncle Jack.

Peanut.

You know I've only seen baby pictures

of you when you were small.

Oh.

Thank you.

My God, you look just like your mom.

I'm gonna 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.

Ah, she tries to pretend like she's moved on.

But I see right through it, Jack.

I mean, it, it has been hard for us since Maya died.

- I understand, Alan. - Yeah.

I miss my sister, too,

but I think Charley'll fit in well at the school.

All the, uh, kids there are very progressive.

Most of their parents either knew Maya

or went to school with her.

Hey, Charley.

Look, Uncle Jack brought us some sweet potato pie,

your 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 knew your mom.

Anyway, have a good night.

Thank you, Jack.

Now, how 'bout 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 gazillionaires.

Now, that makes more sense.

Right?

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

Well, I kinda 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 gonna make friends.

I promise.

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

Yeah, well you did have glasses and bad acne,

and kids can be mean.

Mom?

Excited for your first day at school?

Hmm?

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.

Uh, can you pour me a cup?

Uh, no, it's gonna 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 more worried about my hair falling out.

Clearly, 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.

The same thing over, and over, and over again.

What, 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, 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?

Dallas, you're parked in a handicap zone.

You know better.

Seniors, graduation is just around the corner.

Please pick up your cap and gown in the front office.

Oh, I am so sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're new.

I'm Max.

Charley.

What brings you to Latigo Springs, Charley?

Uh, you could say old haunts.

Okay.

Uh, any chance you know where AP English is?

I'm headed there right now.

- Shall we? - Uh, we shall.

Okay.

Um, so homeroom.

That is the science lab down there to the right

and then Spanish right there, see,

and then that, those doors right there,

the most important room, 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.

Sylvia 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.

You're a spitting image of her.

Thank you.

I, I mean, I'd love to pick your brain

about some stories of her.

Oh, course, I have plenty.

Mom, leave her alone.

Thank you.

Right here.

Right, so then we, as you know-

I know.

No, it's so, so we actually waited.

- Hey. - Hey.

We actually waited, like, three hours.

- No. - Okay, minimum,

I'm telling you.

You dropped your phone.

Thank you.

Do you know who that is?

That's Val Chen.

All right, guys, let's pick up

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 or-

Give me that.

Charley, hey, yeah, come, hey.

- What's up? - Hey.

So this is, um, Harper, Val,

uh, Dina, Paulo, and Niles, gang.

Hey, I'm, I'm Charley.

So where'd you come from?

Uh, just outside LA.

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 'bout us?

So far so good.

What's your biggest regret?

Uh, not telling my mom I loved her the day she died.

I'm really sorry.

Thanks.

Uh, so are we still getting together later or?

Yeah, we have to move it, though.

My parents are home.

Hey, um, love to show you around town, best food.

Uh, sure.

Great.

- 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 to talk to you.

Hi, Art Chen.

Dr. Stevens, hi.

I, um, 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.

Everything all right?

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

Nice guy.

Uh, by the way, that, um, pizza place

we passed by, best in town.

Really? Good to know.

What time do they close?

Like, uh, like 5:00.

Oh, wow, I'm so used

to everything closing at, like, 3:00 AM.

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, I think she liked the constant chaos.

She said it helped her disappear, whereas here, it seems

like someone would know if you bought new socks.

Probably would.

So what does everyone do for fun around here?

Mostly weekend hangouts.

I mean, other than that, it's pretty much quiet.

Okay.

Um, do you wanna 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.

Um, otherwise, you'd have to drive, like, an hour.

You could probably go to ask Harper.

She has a department store in her closet.

Alan didn't say anything,

so I don't think he's hiding anything.

All right, well, we just-

Max, Charley.

Maxwell.

Told you I don't go by Maxwell anymore.

- I go by Max. - Right.

Uh, this is Charley Stevens.

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.

But I, I... Now.

Okay, I suppose this is where our tour ends.

Um, I'll see you tomorrow at school.

Right, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

It was nice to meet you.

Bye, Charley.

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

- She's fine. - No questions.

Hut, hut, hut.

All I'm saying is last year's fling was shit.

This year's is so much better.

Oh, yeah, I think you're gonna look hot as a daisy, mm.

Okay, if that's your way of asking me,

you're gonna 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've 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, is that a spider? - Oh.

Ew.

- Ew, oh, ew, it's moving. - A spider?

- Ew, put it down. - Ew, ew, ew, ew.

Ugh.

Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speak. Yeah?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.

Oh, 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.

Oh, come on, at least pick Real Madrid.

Dude, here we play real football.

I'm just saying that Juve's better than Real Madrid.

Real football.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Dude, first of all, the name doesn't even make sense.

You barely kick the ball, dude.

Second, it's way too violent.

Now, football, that's a dance, bro.

Football, that's like a cheese.

It's, like, not a sport name.

Oh, you wanna see real football?

No, it's not.

You wanna see real football?

Are you guys serious?

Are you guys serious right now?

No, no... I-

Math is not a funny subject.

I agree, yeah.

Do you see me laughing?

- Uh, not particularly. - No.

You know what is funny?

Detention and suspension.

Try me, gents.

But he, it wasn't even me.

Try me.

That's two strikes, both of you.

That's two strikes, two strikes.

It was, but it wasn't even.

So stupid, man.

That's what you get.

Shut up, Niles, I'm serious, man.

Man, that got you pretty good, huh?

- Attention, students. - O negative, A positive?

What kinda blood is that?

This year's spring play,

"Much Ado About Nothing,"

available for purchase in the auditorium.

So funny.

Tell me why it is that Mr. Thomas thinks

it's the most important thing to know

how to type 100 words a minute.

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?

Like popping pimples.

'Kay.

Charley, hurry up.

We're gonna 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?

Shoot, that's pretty extreme.

Yeah, I, I know.

I just wanted to see if you knew anything.

Well, there are some strange things that happen in LA.

I could call some buddies of mine on the LAPD

and see if something shows up.

I, I think it happened here, though,

when she was about my age.

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

Uh, that would've been my dad.

I would tell you to go ask him,

but he's not around anymore.

Look, when your mom left town,

he, he deteriorated pretty quickly, went downhill,

started drinking morning, noon, and night.

Got into barroom brawls.

And when he got demoted, things got worse.

Couple months after you were born,

he, uh, 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, she died of a broken heart

in bed about a month later.

I wish I would've known.

Mom didn't really talk about them much.

She said they had a falling out after high school.

Yeah, that's why I joined the force.

I wanted a chance to rewrite the Rivetti legacy

as sheriff.

Now, 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 bill on short skirts.

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.

It'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 dresses.

Well, I mean, Harper has an entire department store

for a closet, so if you need something, just ask.

Thanks.

Would you maybe wanna walk home from school with me today?

Sure, yeah, I'd like that.

Okay.

Hey, let me help you with that.

Oh, thanks.

So you've been in Springs your whole life?

Pretty much.

I mean, oh, I was born in New York actually,

but I came here when I was a baby.

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,

well, the romance sparked back up,

and, ah, he's just always been around, you know?

Yeah, only missed my birthday once.

How did you meet Maya?

College, you know, same classes, same friends.

And, uh, and we just clicked.

I was 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, you know?

Yeah.

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, I mean, something that feels realistic,

almost like it actually happened.

Like a memory?

Kind of, I, 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. - Yeah.

My dad told me what happened to your mom.

I'm really sorry.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

I lost my mom to cancer.

And it was really hard for me.

I started going therapy to talk about it,

but it's not like talking about it

is gonna 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 doing to him, too.

Since she died, I, 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 trace.

Uh, enough about me.

Tell me about you.

Uh, I wanna study at Yale.

Yeah, but I doubt they're gonna take a kid from a town

that no one's ever heard of.

I think you'll figure it out.

Yeah.

I wanna study psychology.

Like, I love getting to understand people,

getting to really know them.

Like, I like getting to know the real Charley.

Well, I like getting to know the real Val.

I think you're special, Charley.

Special how?

I don't know.

It's a gut feeling, and my gut is always right.

I should probably-

- Yeah. - Check that.

Okay.

Do you have to... Yeah, I, I should probably-

Do you have to... go inside, yeah.

Okay.

- Well, thank you. - Yeah, of course.

Um, it's kind of a turn on

when someone is so comfortable being them self.

We'll see you around, Charley.

Coming.

Oh, hey, Max, uh, what can I do for you?

Is your dad home?

Uh, no, he's still working. Why?

Perfect, um, can I come in?

I like your house. It's really cool.

You can come sit down. I won't bite.

Uh, so why did you wanna come over?

Honestly, you're super cool, and you're really hot.

So I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight.

Uh.

Come back to pick you up at 8:00?

Oh, okay, sure.

I'll see you later, beautiful.

Shit, my dad's home. You have to go.

What? Seriously?

Yeah, he's a doctor.

Do you really wanna be roped into a sex talk with him?

He has got, like, a PowerPoint in everything.

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay, well, I'll, um, see you.

Yeah, text me.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Bye. - No, no.

You have to go out through my bathroom.

- What? - Just trust me.

Knock, knock.

Ah, how was the date?

It was amazing.

Uh, those boxes got some pictures

I thought you may want to hang in here.

Thanks.

All right.

Hey, Sheriff.

Mm.

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 and going home.

Want some company?

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

so let me just get this sorted,

and I'll see you hallway, all right?

'Kay, see ya.

Thank God it's the weekend.

I needed some sun.

Yeah, right, 10 bucks says

Northside smokes us next week.

Not an hour.

Oh, I will absolutely take that bet.

They can beat our quarterback.

Ah, I'm with Niles on that one, yeah.

Yep, is he in high school?

- He looks new. - Yeah.

How's, um, Alan doing?

He's fine.

Um, he's always the first in and the last out.

Uh, does he ever talk about Maya?

A little bit.

Look, I, I, I feel weird asking.

I don't want him to feel sad or something.

Look, I'm sure they're just really happy

to have another connection to her.

But don't beat yourself up

for not being there all those years.

Maya left on rocky terms.

Now, you're making up for it now.

And that's, that's all you can do.

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

and, and I don't... Hey.

- Your usual? - And I don't want Charley

to be overwhelmed.

- We going to the bleachers? - Yeah, yeah, later.

If they're as nice as they seem to be,

they're not gonna 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, yes.

Your dad's really great, by the way.

Oh, uh, thank you.

I should probably get going.

- Bye, Charley. - Bye.

- See ya later. - See ya.

Yes?

Hi, um, I'm looking for the LSHS 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.

That's it.

- So strict. - Yeah.

Hey, Charley, how's your first weekend in the Springs?

I like it here.

Hey, is Lara coming soon?

Yeah, I think she was just wrapping up

when I left.

Here you go, water, water.

What? Oh.

- Give me another one. - I just gave you-

- Hey, guys. - Hey.

- Sh. - Sh.

We're trying to listen.

- That poor kid. - Shouldn't we do something?

I don't think we can.

Ah, it's just jocks being jocks.

Whoa, what's?

Whoa, what the hell?

Oh.

- Dude. - Um.

Is someone gonna stop it?

I can't believe he did that.

- Ooh. - Oh, oh.

- Ouch. - Ow, that was ow.

- That's ow. - Guess Northside

might beat us next week after all, huh?

- Oh. - Talk about karma.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

What goes around comes around.

Yeah.

Well, on that note, uh,

it's gonna be pretty nice weather all day.

You guys wanna go down to the cabin?

- Um, there's a cabin? - Uh, yeah,

it'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, I can drive everyone.

- No. - No, no.

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

You guys wanna come over and pick clothes?

Yeah, that sounds good.

Um, I'm sorry, guys, I gotta go.

I'm, guess I'm working a double now.

You know, I just remembered that my dad needs my help

with some stuff, so I'll just, I'll meet you there.

You know what?

I, uh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go get coffee.

Um, yeah, I, I'll, I'll see you guys in a little bit, okay?

Thirsty much, huh?

It's a hot day.

- Coffee'll fix it for sure. - Yeah, iced maybe.

- I don't know. - Okay, well,

we'll see you there.

This guy makes no sense to me.

Oh, just like your, man.

Oh, not this again.

Dude, come on.

- I like this. - Yeah, I know.

- This is cute. - What do you think

of that one?

- I don't know. - I like the black.

- That's what I was thinking. - Yeah.

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.

Did you guys see the way that Max was looking at Charley,

like a lost puppy?

Once he gets to college,

he'll realize there are plenty more fish in the sea.

Yeah, all kinds like trout, salmon, rainbow.

So Charley.

Hmm, seems 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.

Ooh, can I borrow this for the Spring Fling next week?

Harper, do you even wear your clothes after you buy them?

Honestly, I forgot that was in there.

It's all yours, Dina.

How, how does she forget?

- Yeah. - I, I don't, okay.

Oh, it's Charley, right?

Yeah.

Val's not home right now.

I think they went to Harper's.

They did, uh, I'm actually here to see you.

Oh, 'kay.

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 were pretty close.

Um, Chloe Winters.

She seemed pretty close to my mom.

Yeah, they were, uh, best friends.

Does she still live around here?

'Cause 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.

Hmm.

I better get cleaned up.

Okay, thanks.

Okay, yeah, whatever.

Anyone have a better ghost story then?

Uh, I have one.

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

They were hanging out in a cabin drinking,

and one of the guys got up to go 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, why would you say that?

Well, it, it, it's a holiday weekend.

Shouldn't we just be celebrating?

I second that.

Celebrating, celebrating school on Tuesday?

Oh, yeah, thanks... It's nearly

for reminding me of that. - The end of the semester.

We'll be graduating. It's fun.

I think "Carrie" is playing this weekend.

Do you wanna go?

Oh, yeah, I'd love that.

Shakespeare's like really... Yeah?

My parents have this-

- Want some more? - Oh, no, no more, thank you.

Are supposed to be graduating?

Uh, no, we're not inviting

our entire class to my house.

I'm actually doing nothing Saturday.

Do you wanna 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. - Really?

You choose them over me?

For, for real, you, you, you're ditching all of this

to go see "Carrie"?

You can see that anytime.

This is a limited-time offer.

No, I, I wanna see it, and we have fun together.

I'm sorry.

You, fun, fun, you have fun together?

I'm sorry, I... Okay, it's fine.

You know what, Charley?

I'm not gonna let you do this to me,

because I've been nothing but nice to you.

I, I, I, I have nothing but a textbook gentleman to you,

and, and then you turn me down.

Oh, it's not you.

We had fun together,

but I'm just not looking for this right now.

- Fine. - I'm sure you have

your pick of any girl at school.

No, it's fine.

Fine, if you're not into me, that's, that's your problem.

But you, you and I need to talk

about the little games that you're playing.

Max, you're drunk. Go home.

Oh, my God, please.

You've been jealous of me my whole life.

That's why you play little games to get in my head.

Max, take a breath.

Oh, my God, so what do you think,

you can just swoop in and take her?

She's clearly... Get off.

- Not interested in you, Max. - You do this every time.

Get off.

Every time I get close to being happy,

you come in and take it away.

Val, let's just, let's just go home.

You think I'm trying to take your happiness?

You're delusional, Max.

You bullied and manipulated Harper,

and I'm not gonna let you do that to Charley.

Back off, Val.

Not worth it.

- Max. - Ah, Val.

- Oh, my God. - Uh, Val?

- Hey, Val? - Um, um.

- Are you okay? - Hey.

- Val. - Hey.

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 gonna run a few tests on you,

and I'll be in in a moment.

Here we go.

All right, I need you to go home and get some rest,

and we'll let you know if anything changes.

- Okay. - Okay?

All right.

Val, you okay?

- Hey, Dad. - What happened?

I, I just tripped and hit my head.

- You hit your head? - Yeah.

It just hurts.

It's okay.

You, you have to be careful, okay?

I know.

Uh, why don't we go talk to Dr. Stevens

and let them rest, yeah?

Sure you're gonna be okay?

It's okay, Dad. You can go.

Not going anywhere.

All right, I'm just gonna-

Yeah, it's... go outside, okay?

Yeah.

All right, the, uh, the good news is

they're gonna be okay.

I think it's a mild concussion,

so I'm gonna 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, that'd be great.

Okay.

If you'd like, we can put a cot in their room

if you wanna stay overnight.

Yeah, thank you, that'd be perfect.

Great.

Hey, honey, I'm discharging Val now,

and I'll be home in a few hours.

Love you.

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's the way he is,

and he likes Chloe.

Hi, I'm picking up for Charley.

Oh, two large subs, one with extra meat, one vegan?

That's the one.

That will be 11.98.

Awesome, there you go.

Thank you so much.

Oh, hello.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, so my incompetent wife ordered

from here, and somehow she left without checking 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.

Um, we'll make you a fresh one straight away.

- Okay. - I just need

a receipt or order confirmation.

A receipt?

Look, I'm, I've been coming here

since this place opened in '93,

and I have ordered the exact 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, sir. It's store policy.

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

RJ is getting more aggressive.

Art told me that RJ...

Hey, Charley.

Max, you scared the shit outta me.

Sorry.

It's okay. Everything's okay.

No, everything's not okay, Max.

Val is hurt.

I know. I, I can explain.

I'm, I'm leaving the Springs.

- What? - You don't understand, okay?

This town is toxic. Trust me.

You gotta get outta here while you can.

- 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.

I, I can never live up to his standards.

Max, take a breath.

I just, I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore.

It's too much for me.

Listen, you gotta... Max, you're hurting me.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

I, I mean, the whole thing with Val, uh, was an accident.

I, I, I wish I could explain.

I, I, I try so hard not to be like my dad,

and, 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 trust anybody in this town, look, Val, especially.

They've had it out for me my whole life.

Max, just let it go. Just go home.

Charley, Charley, you have to believe me.

This town, these people-

- Max, Max. - You have to come with me.

You have to come with me right now.

Max, just, Max.

Dad.

- Charley? - Dad, Dad.

Oh, my God.

Hey, it's okay, Peanut.

Just tell us what happened.

He, he show showed up at 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, Dallas.

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

We're gonna get to the bottom of this.

I promise you.

- I love you. - I love you.

No, I fine.

We're graduating, girl.

This is crazy.

No, no, no, why don't you go first?

No, no, no, I think you should go first.

Okay, fine.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Go, go, go.

Oh, ah.

Hey.

Let's go.

Yeah, I like this, brother.

- Don't take too long. - Whoo.

No, take as long as you need.

- Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. - Let's go.

- Oh. - Oh.

Stop. Hey, just stop.

- It's okay. - Stop.

Do what I say.

Let's go.

Move.

Okay, it's seven minutes now.

- Seven minutes? - Yeah.

Guys, I'm gonna go check on 'em.

Yo, guys, I'm, I'm gonna take a leak.

Don't worry.

- Leak? - Come on.

I'll be right back.

Get up. Get up.

Stop.

No, no, please stop, please stop.

No, no.

No, help.

Chloe, she got, she got stabbed.

No, no.

She was, she was here.

Obviously, Jack and Chloe wanted to go off

and have their own party.

Clearly, they were having too much fun.

You're just hallucinating, Maya, too much to drink.

No, I, I know what I saw. She was here.

She, she was right down here.

Where's Chloe?

Oh, she went home.

She wasn't feeling good.

You saw her leave past the cabin, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, uh, I saw her.

She, she went home.

No, no, she, she, she was here.

I, I know, I know I'm right.

She was, she was here.

Let's just go home.

Charley, 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.

Case has been ruled an accident.

We both know how things, they just snap.

Is that happened with Chloe Winters,

something just snapped?

Chloe Winters?

I know who she is.

I'm just wondering why you're asking me about her.

I trusted you.

I thought you were some standup sheriff righting the wrongs

of the community, but you're a fraud,

and you've been lying to everyone.

You wanna talk about Chloe, hmm?

Chloe Winters was Maya's best friend.

They met in the third grade

after Chloe's parents moved here from Ohio, besties.

Every summer, they would just-

I don't wanna know about Chloe's friendship.

I wanna know about her death.

Her death?

Charley, Chloe isn't dead.

She's very much alive living up in Seattle

the last time I checked.

Oh, Portland, not Seattle, my mistake.

She's a school teacher now, so they have to do

background checks on her

every time she switches school districts.

Forensics found that back in '95,

and after further investigation, it was determined

that Chloe ran off with a 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 routes,

we didn't find any evidence of force.

Chloe was happy and willing.

Charley, 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 kinda know what you're going through.

Thanks.

Hey, Uncle Jack.

Did my mom ever mention anything

to you about having weird dreams?

Hmm, nothing unusual, why?

Nothing, I, uh,

I guess I'm just eating too much chocolate before bed.

Be careful.

You don't wanna 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.

I spoke to Jack.

Apparently, Charley'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, uh, I just gotta meet Jack.

Do you want me to come with you?

Oh, that's sweet, but I have to meet him somewhere

that my mom used 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, I have to go.

Hey, uh, was that Charley?

Yeah.

Where's she headed to?

Uh, some place with Jack where her mom used to go.

Jack?

Where Maya used to go.

Yeah, that's what she said.

I, um, I'll be back later.

There's, uh, there's some errands

I forgot I had to do today.

Okay, see you.

Thank you for coming.

You know, ever since our talk last night,

it just 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 journals?

What big brother hasn't snooped

on his little sister's secrets?

Yeah, she wrote about a dream

that she had back at the cabin.

There was something between her and Chloe

and something that Maya did.

What do you mean?

It would be easier if I just show you.

You won't run.

Only I can give you answers.

You were right the other night.

Chloe's dead.

It was such an easy kill.

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,

and I was forced to drive her outta town.

No, she'd never just walk away

with that on her conscience.

I didn't give her much of a choice.

Ever since my parents adopted her,

I was yearning for the day when I could get 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've been walking home that day

from the realtors.

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.

Jack, I'm not gonna let you do this again.

I went along with your coverup back then

because I was scared.

I shoulda 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. No, Jack.

- Art, are you okay? - I think.

What, what, what do we do now?

We tell the truth.

I take it you're all packed.

I can't leave without one more.

- Maybe we can go visit you. - Something for the road.

- She insisted. - Thank you.

Mm, how's your mom?

- She's still processing. - Are you two official?

Only 150 coffee visits.

Oh, I didn't know you were outta the hospital yet.

Yeah, I, I got cleared to leave yesterday.

Just thought I'd drop off a parting gift.

Thank you.

Here, come join us.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Okay.

My mom's leaving my dad, uh, due to the accident.

She saw how much he'd been affecting me,

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

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Well, I better get going.

- Well, all right. - Thank you.

Aw, make sure to text the group chat

with every fun stop you make.

Always.

You better call me when you need clothes.

Oh, I, that's, yeah, definitely.

You know I'll always need clothes.

What he said.

- Bye, Max. - Bye.

Come on.

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.

Yeah.

You forget something maybe?

- Ah, thank you. - Everything else packed?

- I think so. - Good maps?

Oh, this isn't the '90s, Mr. Stevens.

We use our phones.

- Yeah. - Right, yes.

I think I'm just gonna pick a road

and see where the world takes me.

Hopefully not to some cute stranger.

Don't worry. I'm all yours.

Come here.

All right.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Okay. - I'll call you.

Yes.
