Original subtitles

(Del): Previously on The Way Home.

- We're at my wedding.

When have we met before this?

- Well, if you don't know the answer, Kitty,

then it hasn't happened yet.

65 there they thrive.

65 in 25.

- Dad gave it back to me.

- Are you...

- I will find the perfect moment.

"I jumped for love."

"Go, go, go, said the bird.

"I must follow."

(splash in water)

The clock inscription, it's from the same poem.

- What if your mom isn't really gone,

she just...

- Time-traveled?

(Del): "Maybe these letters will stop if I disappear."

Oh God, Jacob.

- It's going to be okay, Del.

- How do you know that, Sam?

- I just... do.

(water rippling gently)

(insects chirping)

(ethereal music)

- I wish he was here for this.

- He's with us in spirit.

I know it.

(exhales)

- Come on,

it's almost time for the "I do's".

Today's gonna be the best day.

(exhales)

(tense music)

(Kat): What if your dad was wrong,

and your mom isn't really gone

she just--

(Elliot): Jumped and time-travelled?

Kat, wait. Hold on!

- Why?

Elliot, if your mom jumped,

then that means she could be out there!

- Just let's take a minute, all right?

What do we think will actually happen if we do this?

- The pond will take us where we need to go.

And maybe that's to Tessa Augustine.

- I mean, we have to try, right?

The clock.

- Elliot, it's message.

Your mom wants you to find her.

(inhales sharply)

(tense music)

- One, two, three.

(baby crying)

(ominous music)

(distant voice): Elliot...

(ethereal music)

(gasping)

- Are we all here?

- Yeah. I think we are.

- Where's here?

Oh, my God! Kat, look!

(Kat): Oh, no.

(revealing music)

(letter crinkles)

- Is that...

- My mom's note.

- Which means this baby is...

- Me.

- Danny, I'm sorry, this is not a good time.

I need to go find Jacob.

- I just saw him. That's why I'm here.

- Saw him? Where?

- The bus stop.

I just drove by, a bus was arriving,

Jake was there. He had a bag.

Is this because of Lewis?

What did he do to Jake to make him leave town like...

Del, I am so sorry.

I will stay on the farm and help however I can,

however long Jake's gone.

I promise. (door opens)

- Hey, Del. I was just out for a walk.

I wanted to check in.

- Jacob's on a bus leaving town.

I know the route. I think I can stop him

if I can drive fast enough.

- All right, let's go get him.

(door opens and shuts)

(knock at glass)

- Mr. Augustine?

Are you home?

- Kat, Dad's truck is gone.

So is his fishing gear.

He's out on the water.

My dad was away on a job.

My mom knew that.

And she still left me.

- Only one more place we can try.

(horn honking loudly)

- Pull over!

Pull over!!

(knock on door)

(baby crying)

(door opens)

(exhales) (young Colton): Del!

- Shh, Katherine.

Shh.

(baby crying)

- Look.

- Oh, no.

Poor Elliot.

- You're safe now.

So, let's go home.

- They didn't sound surprised to see me, Kat.

Why weren't they surprised?

What did they know about my mom?

(annoyed sigh)

- I can't believe you're doing this.

- The feeling is mutual.

Where are you going?

- I'll know when I get there.

Okay? Now, I have some money,

and even with an arson charge on my permanent record--

- Nothing is going to come of that.

We can use the will against Lewis.

You don't have to leave your family.

- Family's why I'm leaving.

Mom, those letters are because of me

and the lie that I made you tell

about where I was those years gone.

- Oh, God, Jacob.

No, those letters--

- Those letters are the push I didn't know I needed.

We both need to know that I can

build a life for myself, here, in this time.

Please.

Mom, please, you need to let me go.

- Fine, I'm not gonna fight to keep you

if you don't wanna be kept.

- I will call you, soon as I find a place to land.

I love you, Mom.

- I love you, too.

It's not enough now, is it?

(brokenhearted music)

(bus rumbles away)

(Alice): Why didn't you tell us about these letters?

- I thought I was protecting the family.

Now Jacob thinks he's doing the same.

- We need to report these to the police.

- Later, maybe.

Right now, tell me what those wet clothes are about.

- Um... well,

they're about uh, Elliot's mom.

We don't think that she left town in 1983.

We think that she jumped in the pond.

And the only way that she could jump is with a Landry.

(scoffs)

Wait, you're telling me that Tessa left Elliot

on our porch and time traveled?

No.

- I put Elliot on the porch, Mom.

- You? Why?

- Because Tessa left him at the pond.

(Elliot exhales deeply)

Please just...

Just think.

Who could've jumped with Tessa?

- It didn't have to be a Landry from '83, Kat.

My mom could have jumped

with a Landry who was time-traveling themselves.

- I'm so sorry, Elliot.

We kept you 'til your father got home.

You were safe.

I never thought--

- It's fine. Don't.

I think I'm...

I'm done talking about my mom.

I'm... done with all of it.

- Elliot, no, just let-let's just take--

- She left me in the woods, Kat.

She didn't care if I lived or died.

So, wherever she wound up...

...I don't particularly care.

And whoever the Landry was who took her there...

...I don't wanna know.

(Kat): Hey, miss singer-songwriter.

(chuckles)

Landry Express is leaving for downtown Port Haven,

and you need a ride, right?

- But I was making progress.

I think?

- Stop messing with perfection.

There's only 48 hours left

of you as a high-schooler who does as Mom says.

So, let's go.

(shovel clunks in dirt)

(grunts)

(Elliot): Morning, Del!

Hey, uh, Alice left yet?

Ugh! Ooh! - Oh!

- Oh, I'm fine. I'm good.

- Did you break anything?

- Uh, just ego.

What is all this?

- Oh, not much.

Just a small, personal project.

- Small? Right.

I can see that.

Uh... I brought the goods.

- Alice will appreciate that.

- Can't believe she graduates in two days.

How'd that happen?

- Yeah, time is a cruel mistress.

You know, I am thankful that you all have taken time off

from learning that the literal way.

- Well, we all needed a break from the pond.

Gotta focus on more important things.

Like... town council has just signed off

on giving me use of the park gazebo

and JJ confirmed he can play that night.

So, come end of summer,

Kat will have the perfect proposal.

It's all falling into place.

- And so are you, it seems.

- Yeah.

Uh, are you planting something or--

(Alice): Elliot?

Did you bring what I need?

- Yes. Here you go, for the cause.

- My contribution's in the car.

- Thank you.

You guys are the best.

- Oh.

Hey, so you're coming to dinner tonight, right?

Because Brady's here and I need my wingman.

- I will bring both wings.

Don't worry. - Okay.

(tender music)

- Bring wine, too.

- Oh yeah, that's a given.

(Kat): Oh, I love this one.

Turn it up.

- Gosh, it seems like yesterday when we arrived here.

I mean, how can this be my last summer with my kid

before she leaves me for college?

- Wait.

I need to say hi to my baby.

(car rumbles past)

Wait, what? No!

How could it be sold?

It was sitting there for months!

- I'm sorry, Ali.

Such is life, right?

Rife with disappointment.

- Oh, not this again.

- I just don't get it.

I mean, what is Elliot waiting for?

I mean, he has the ring.

I know it, he knows that I know it.

It's just sitting there in that stupid fish lamp!

Just pop the question already!

You know, ahh!

Why are boyfriends so complicated?

- Mom, things will happen when they're meant to.

Okay, maybe it's not the boyfriends

who are complicated.

Maybe it's us who make them complicated.

- Nah, you just lucked out with yours.

(hand pats)

- Hmm.

(bell on door jingles)

(tender music)

- Hi.

- Yes, yes, hi's all around.

Uh, can you help?

This fundraiser is draining my will to live.

Why are we hosting again?

- To celebrate how much I've pulled you out

of your antisocial shell this year,

and also it's tradition.

- Yeah, that makes sense.

The leaving class raises coin to get something fun

for the school that we're never going to enjoy.

- It's to thank a school who's turned out

some pretty amazing grads.

Like these guys.

- A category that...

(chuckles) ...includes me, apparently.

(Max laughs)

Feel like a total geriatric.

- Hey, my sophomore self

had a huge crush on that senior.

- Yeah. I'm really sorry I'm missing the grad.

This family reunion's killing me.

- Alice, how's your song coming?

You're still singing an original tomorrow night, right?

- Uh, yeah.

Yeah, that's the plan.

Anyway, let's get back to this.

- Oh. And the award

for the cutest small-town couple goes to...

(young Colton): 75's our year.

We have so much to look forward to.

Not just grad, but our wedding.

You finally moving out of Lingermore.

- And into a house with Mom and Grandma.

- Okay. (both laugh)

So, it isn't perfect.

But from now on, it's you, me,

and forever, Delly.

We can celebrate our special moments

however we want.

Make our own traditions

'cause this life is ours now.

No one else's.

(memory whooshes)

- Come on.

Where did you put it?

- Just look at our talented high school grad

going to her dream college, huh?

Hudson Performing Arts School of New York!

I love saying it!

(Alice): Dad, it wasn't just talent that got me in.

Max helped me with my grades and Noah helped me

with my audition tape.

- Yeah, sure.

However it happened,

I couldn't be more excited,

more proud and...

...more willing to foot the bill.

- That old chestnut.

- Yeah. But listen, at least Alice

is not an international student.

Those kids, they get gouged!

But listen, even if you were Canadian,

I would still cover the fees, okay?

This is your dream and you can't put a price on it.

- You sure? 'Cause you're mentioning

the price quite a bit.

(scoffs)

- Look, I'm just happy that I can make it happen, okay?

The last thing I would want is to put any pressure

on you, Kat, I know how hard you work for what you make.

- Yeah, a small-town paper gig can't compete with

a high-powered lucrative career in, what is,

generational wealth?

- Family money can only get you so far, Elliot.

- How far can you get?

Show me.

- All right, I've heard enough about how much the fall

is gonna cost, and how far people are gonna go.

Summer hasn't even started, and I, for one,

don't want to wish it away. - Hear, hear.

We're all looking forward

to celebrating tomorrow night, Alice.

- Thank you. (Del): High school graduations

don't come along every day.

- Well, I would like to make a toast.

To my beautiful daughter, Ali.

I can't tell you how it feels to see you

taking this next step into the future of your dreams.

It's surreal. It's, um...

It's incredible.

But it's also...

...a step out this door.

So, it's just...

It's a bit heartbreaking, too.

But I am so very proud of you.

And I-I promise,

when we do say goodbye,

I will do it with a smile on my face.

Cheers, baby.

(Del): Cheers.

- Cheers.

(Elliot): Cheers.

- That is the bittersweet gift of being a mom.

Loving hard then letting go.

The bond between a mother and a child,

there is nothing like it.

(glasses clink)

(slurps wine)

(unsettling music)

- Mom!

Wait!

Please!

Don't go!

(rapid breathing)

(dramatic thud)

(panting)

(letter crinkles)

(gentle pensive music)

(spring clinks gently)

(clock ticking)

(clock chimes)

(unsettling music)

(gasping inhale)

(gasps)

- Mom?

You're using the pond?

- Uh... fine.

Yes, okay.

Maybe I haven't totally been respecting Elliot's desire

to ditch the idea of finding Tessa.

- Since when?

- Since the ice melted.

It's just a jump,

only every once in a while, okay?

And look, it doesn't even matter because it hasn't worked.

But I know that I go back, Ali.

Fern told me as much at Mom and Dad's wedding.

She met me in another era.

And what if that trip leads me to finding Tessa?

I really want to do that for Elliot.

(shovel clunks, Del grunts)

- Oh! Oh, thank goodness.

Thank goodness!

(exhales)

Oh.

(lid pops off) Ah!

Ah.

(memory whooshes)

(young Del): Where are we gonna bury it?

(sighs)

(van approaches, horn honks)

- Hey, Del.

- Oh. Yeah.

- Got a package for Alice.

- Thanks, Ruby.

(Kat): What is Jacob doing in Toronto?

I mean, is he working there?

At-at what?

And how long has he been there?

- I'm sure there are answers in here.

(envelope crinkles)

It's the Alice book.

Same edition.

- They're pristine.

- Wait, here, he wrote an inscription.

"To Alice,

"found these in a used bookstore and knew it was a sign.

"Now you can bring a set into your future.

"I know it will be somewhere you always needed to go."

- That's it?

Great.

Nice, Jake.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

(exhales)

(sighs)

(bell on door jingles)

(tender background music)

- I gave your photos a place of honor.

- Yes, thank you.

It's our ages on full display.

- You've done a fantastic job, you two.

It's going to be a very special evening.

(man): I couldn't agree more.

- Lewis. Hi.

El, a drink, please?

- Hmm, I see Jacob didn't make it back

for graduation.

Still too afraid of me?

- Any fear that we had

disappeared when that will brought you to your knees.

- Heh, that's cute...

...that you think a moldy piece of paper

could take away my estate.

- Well, it's cute that you think we want it.

Especially when teasing you with the threat of Susanna's will

is so much more fun than actually using it?

- The only funny thing is how we've had to fake nice

for the sake of our kids.

- I'm just happy that Alice has been there for Max

this year.

You know, especially with your very messy divorce.

- Guess what? Guess what?

Bids to spend a day with me just hit triple digits, baby.

- I still can't believe you have such a successful podcast.

- Yeah! Well, what can I say, right?

People love ghost stories.

And the sound of my voice.

(cackles and snorts)

Okay, sir, I have a pitch for you.

Rumor is your vineyard renovations

include opening up the Lingermore tunnels?

- Yeah, I've decided to lean into the estate's illicit past.

- Please tell me that you know your tunnels' ghost story then.

This year marks the 100th anniversary

of the big explosion down there!

Homemade booze making gone wrong.

Bootlegger died. Body never found.

It was a big, cautionary tale to stop fishermen

from going rogue during Prohibition.

- Yes, it's all very charming.

- Please, let me do a "Boo! Brunswick" podcast

in the tunnels when they're open about the fifth body.

- Well, I'm bringing in a marketing manager soon,

so maybe they can handle you.

- Oh. - And your ideas, huh?

Until then...

- Okay, okay, okay, I'll have my people

call your people.

Oh, he does not know who he's dealing with.

- Oh, I know, and I love that for him.

(sighs)

- We reached our fundraising goal tonight.

(cheers and applause)

And the biggest spender was...

...my father, Lewis Goodwin,

who went absurdly overboard on this super sketchy box

of old film reels,

generously donated by Joyce Hollyer-Oates

from the Roxy Theater archives. (applause)

Okay,

I'm now going to pass the mic over to someone

who actually knows how to use it.

Before she makes it big in the Big Apple,

you'll all get to say you knew her when.

(crowd members): Ooh! Yes. - Alice Dhawan.

(cheering and clapping)

(whistles)

- Hi. (audience chuckles)

I'm going to sing something of my own tonight.

Hope you like it.

(strums guitar)

(strumming stops)

Uh, actually, sorry.

I'm gonna sing something

that's a little bit more on brand for tonight,

a song written by a Port Haven High grad,

who's very close to my heart.

My grandpa.

(curious music)

(Kat): Come on, Ali, we have to go!

(door creaks open)

(gentle music)

(Del): Oh!

Oh, my goodness, look at you!

- You're so grown up.

(Alice): Yeah, too bad I felt like a total kid last night.

It was like I was back on that arts school stage

in Minneapolis.

- Stop, okay? That was your past,

and you're about to start your future.

- But just promise me that not everything has to change, okay?

That no matter what,

I'll still have this.

I'll still have us.

- Of course you will.

And maybe...

...something else?

(car horn honks)

- So, Mom, Elliot, and I chipped in.

I mean, look, she's-she's the perfect mix

of your two favorite eras.

- Are you serious?

Thank you!

(Kat laughs) - Go.

Go see it. Go see.

- Thank you!

- To Alice, the class of 2026.

(all): Cheers!

(cheering and chuckling)

(phone ringing)

- It's Noah.

- Kat, what does she need a car for?

I mean, she's moving to the least car-friendly city

on earth.

- It'll stay here, Brady. Just waiting for her to visit.

Like I will be.

- I still can't believe I flaked last night.

- Just be kind to yourself, okay?

You did amazing.

The crowd loved you.

By the way, you look amazing, too.

- Thank you.

- Poor guy.

I've been there.

- What?

N-no, Max is so not an Elliot.

I mean, he's not head over heels for Alice.

- Head over heels? Is that what you think?

- Oh, I don't think.

I know.

- Fine.

I won't deny it.

- Time to put a ring on it, bud.

Ah!

- Ah, ha.

(door creaks open)

(young Colton): All right,

think I collected everything we need.

(memory whooshes)

(young Del): It's about making our own traditions.

Right?

So, what do you got over there?

- I got snapshots of '75, like current events,

and today's best hits,

brought to you by the best diner

1975 has to offer.

So, what are you writin'?

(young Del): I'll tell you when it's done.

But it's for our future, too.

(memory whooshes)

(sighs)

- Hey, I have a surprise!

It's a tradition Cole and I tried to start.

That is what the holes were about.

(chuckles)

It's a time capsule to commemorate 1975,

the year that Colton and I

graduated and started our life together.

So much in here. Takes me back.

But um, most importantly...

...this...

...it's a letter I wrote to our future child.

That was the point.

Colton and I were going to dig up the capsule

and read it to our child when they graduated.

(poignant music)

But here we are.

So, I'd like to read it to you, Alice.

"To my little one,

"who will you be when this tin gets opened,

"and what will your dream be?

"Well, here is mine, it's you,

"pure and simple.

"And if this letter's been opened,

"it means my dream has come true.

"I hope I was a good mom

"who saw you, heard you,

"who didn't let her own wounds get in the way of...

"healing yours.

"Oh, I hope your life will be filled with

"the same magic and joy as mine has been.

"But how can it not be when Colton and I

"are a part of you?

"When you were created with such love...

"Such hope... and light.

"How could your future be filled with anything else?

"It will be, I promise.

"All my love always, your mom...

"...Delilah."

I know I didn't follow through with this tradition,

but I hope you will, Alice.

Write a letter to your child.

- I'll try, Grandma.

- How did I not remember what was in that letter?

Oh, God, I've pushed Kat away again.

This is how it's gonna be in the fall.

Me, here, alone.

- I know tonight was emotional, Del, but let yourself be happy.

You've got an incredible life.

I love Sam.

- He's a man of routine,

but I like it.

- Lovely evening, huh?

But I wouldn't mind getting back to routine, that's...

- Absolutely, though I don't know how lovely

an evening it was.

(Rita): Okay, okay,

shake it off, huh?

Kat is an adult, Alice is about to be.

It is high time us real grown-ups

had some real fun.

(chuckles)

(♪ Tainted Love ♪ by Soft Cell plays on radio)

♪ Sometimes I feel ♪ Oh, oh man. Listen to that.

♪ I've got to run away ♪

Oh, doesn't that one take you back, Del?

♪ I've got to ♪ Remember?

♪ Get away ♪ (memory whooshes)

(young Del): Stop it. Just stop. Please!

(young Colton): Get out! Get out!

(door slams)

- Del? You okay?

- Uh, yeah, I'm fine.

Mm.

(Alice and Max laugh)

- Your family's grad pics are upstairs.

I fully grabbed them during clean up.

I'm taking Noah's photo though,

for blackmail purposes.

Sorry.

- The only thing you should be sorry about

is laughing at me when I told you to bring a bathing suit.

A cove party ends one of two ways,

either it's a police raid or a late-night swim.

- I don't know, running into the ocean

fully clothed felt pretty epic.

But uh... lesson learned.

I should've listened.

- Yeah, well, that's the problem,

you never do.

- You should have performed your song.

- What?

- Last night.

Why do you keep all that talent

hidden under a barrel, Alice?

- I just got nervous.

I don't think it's a big deal.

- It kind of is a big deal, though.

If you don't believe in yourself,

you'll never succeed.

You get that, right?

- Why don't you just support me, Max?

You're my best friend.

I- I don't get why you have to push so hard

all the time. - Because someone has to!

- You think that Noah just goes easy on me?

Well, it's because he loves me.

- You go too easy on yourself, Alice.

I pushed you all year,

but I won't be here come fall.

So, you'll be going at it alone.

Are you ready for that?

- Yeah, I'm actually ready right now.

So, go get the photos and I will prove it.

- Hmm.

(footsteps tap upstairs)

(film reel clicking)

(footsteps tap on floor)

(Lewis): Alice, come on in.

Join me.

(Alice): These the reels that you won at the auction?

- Screen tests.

My ancestor tried to put Port Haven on the map back then

by bringing Hollywood to New Brunswick

to make a movie.

The script was written, actors were cast,

but history wasn't on his side.

The film was silent, you see,

and talkies had started to come on the scene.

So, on the first day of production,

investors pulled the plug.

And now, all that remains are these,

1925 Port Haven frozen in time.

- Like a time capsule.

(phone ringing)

- Excuse me a moment.

(emotional music playing)

(music turns tense)

(gasps)

(Max): Alice? (gasps)

There you are.

- Thanks.

The reel ended.

So... thank you for the screening.

Good night.

(gasps)

(Alice): Stop it there!

(knob clicks) See?

Mom, you're going to travel to 1925.

- To meet Fern. Just like she said.

- You two look so scared.

What do you think you said to her?

- I have no idea.

(Kat): Can you play it back again?

(film reel clicking)

(Kat): Oh, my God! Look at her!

This is not the Fern that I knew in '74,

or the one that Mom and Dad always talked about.

That Fern, she was a homebody.

I mean, she never left the farm.

She raised her son all alone.

But this Fern...

...is mesmerizing.

1925...

'25.

65 there they thrive.

65 in 25.

Fern told me about this

in one of her weird rhymey things.

The 25, I mean, I think she meant 1925.

- But then, what would the 65 be?

- The wall that the clock was hidden in was

put up in the 1920s, right?

Your mom was here in that era.

And-and now we have proof that I go there too.

So, could the 65 be about her?

Maybe that was Tessa's age?

- No! Look, my mom jumped at 24 in 1983,

and she's been gone 43 years,

so following the pond's rule that the time spent in the past

is equal to the time you miss in the present,

that would make her...

...67, not 65.

- Yeah, but I mean, Fern could have been off

by two years, right?

You always say that she's a bit of a kook.

- Look, no, I just, I don't think it's act--

- Come on, Elliot, this can't just be a coincidence.

- She left me, Kat!

All right?

Thank you.

(gentle birdsong)

(young Del): I'm all done, here it is.

(memory whooshes)

(shovel clunks in dirt)

And if things go according to plan,

we'll be digging this up in 18 years.

(chuckles)

Fern: Cole?

(running footsteps approach)

A letter.

From your brother.

- What?

Our wedding invite?

I sent it to him. Did he seriously send it back?

- Wait, Cole, look.

- "See you at the wedding, brother.

"Love, Griffin"

(scoffs) Is he really coming home for it?

- How about adding that to the capsule?

- This is about our future, Grandma.

At this rate, whatever kid we have

won't even know Griffin Landry's name.

- Oh, Cole, deary, like it or not,

your brother is a part of you.

- Maybe by the time we open this thing,

Griffin and I will have a better relationship.

- By the time we open this,

we'll be a family all our own.

- All right.

(memory whooshes)

(door opens)

- Oh, just saw Brady off.

- Let's celebrate with some tea.

- Yeah.

(melancholic music)

- The letter...

It should have been for you.

All those words in there, they were meant for you.

- I wish I had heard them back then.

- I know, Katherine.

I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

And thank you.

- It's no excuse, but my mother did the same thing.

After she and my father lost everything,

she lost me in her grief.

She didn't even come to my graduation.

But I suppose I was barely at yours.

Generational trauma,

that's what the kids call it, right?

- Huh.

Maybe we're just bound to repeat past mistakes?

You know, turn into our parents.

- Well, I think you've done a great job

of breaking the mold.

Me? Uh, history repeats itself.

I've been grieving Jacob for months and at the end

of the summer,

I'm going to lose you and Alice.

- Mom, no.

It will not be like it was.

I mean, nobody's really gone this time.

You know, Alice is just a phone call away.

I'll be a walk over from El's.

And as far as Jake, you know,

I send him things.

Text messages about us and what we're doing.

Because I refuse to consider him gone.

- I hope you're right.

Oh, is that what I think it is?

- Yep. Ready to be buried.

- I just hope you do a better job than me and Colton,

and remember when you bury it.

- I definitely have a place.

(letter crinkles)

(shovel clangs in dirt, dirt spatters)

(shovel clunks on item)

(mysterious music)

(snaps click open)

- Tessa Cooper.

Tessa.

- So, the suitcase was buried?

(Alice): But packed with all this stuff,

like she was going away.

But why?

I found these in here, too.

They're from Evelyn's deck.

So, did Tessa and Evelyn know each other?

- Yes, they did.

Oh, Tessa, you're so young.

- Can I...

Okay, so this says that she was born in 1961.

But El, didn't you say '59?

She was two years younger.

Which means--

- Tessa would have been 65, not 67.

65 in 25.

- El, do you know what this means?

It means that she is there.

And Fern told me so.

Which means they must know each other.

This is why I go back,

is to find your mom.

- You know...

this is the first photo I've ever seen of me and her.

My dad got rid of all the photos when she left.

Threw them all away.

The blanket...

The clock was wrapped in it when I found it in the wall.

My mom...

...kept it.

She must have taken it with her when she jumped.

- She wanted to take a part of you with her, Elliot.

- I want to jump.

- Good luck.

Go get your mom.

(tense music building)

(gasping inhale)

(gasping)

- Elliot?

Elliot?

What... what happened to Mom?

- The pond just took her.

- What?

- She's gone.

- But... b-but something bad happens back then.

We saw it!

- What are you doing?

Alice! Ali!

(Alice): "To my little one, if you're anything like me,

"I bet you're scared right now

"as you face your next big chapter."

- The pond wouldn't let me go.

I wanted to find my mom.

(Alice): "I wish I could say I had it all figured out,

"but I don't.

"Not yet.

"The one thing I do know?

"We won't face that path into the future alone.

"Family is walking with you.

"Always.

"Remember that, little one.

"If ever you feel lost,

"there will always be a road

that will lead you home to family."

(gasps)

- And when exactly are you from, deary?

Huh?

(muffled shouting)

(gasps)

- And when exactly are you from, deary?
