Original subtitles

- Previously on The Way Home.

- Kat Landry!

Welcome home!

- All the predictions that Elliot

just couldn't wait to get away from, I made them.

- I sold the farm.

This buyer doesn't want to take over my lease for your fields.

- The Lingermore estate has been in the Goodwin family

since Port Haven existed.

I would be a shame to lose all that history.

- This is what's going to lead you to Jacob.

Just... take me with you.

God.

- Mom, where are you?!

Mom!

- Alice?

Alice, what are you doing here?

- I'm not supposed to be here, Elliot!

- Wait, what does that even mean?

- I... I don't know, okay? I don't know what happened,

but this is not where I'm supposed to be!

- Al...

Alice!

- Mom?

What have you done? Where is my mom?!

Elliot?

Elliot!

I... I don't know what happened,

but I... we went in and I...

I came up in the wrong time, and Mom, she...

- Just... come in.

Okay, tell me what's going on.

- The... pond. Mom and I jumped in together

and then it literally ripped us apart,

which has never happened before.

- So you and Kat have been jumping in the pond together...

how often? - What?

No! Why does that even matter? You're not listening to me!

- Pretty sure I am. You and your mom

jumped in the pond and things went south. Shocker!

Alice... how are we back here?

Why are you too still messing with this?

I thought you'd made a decision to give it all up.

- Yeah, we did. For seven months,

even though it meant not looking for Jacob.

- Jacob? - Okay, so I...

I didn't see a body when I came back,

which means... - Go back.

What do you mean, "looking for Jacob"?

- Elliot! My mom.

- Please, sit down and tell me, from the beginning.

Kat will be fine. She always is.

- Look at it, Delly.

It's gonna be a good year.

I know it.

There's nothing like Landry soil.

- Katherine, are you home?

Alice?

- Fynn? I mean...

I had considered the possibility that Jacob had gone

into the pond, obviously, but I always wrote it off

because... because the pond has rules.

And the cardinal rule is that you were the only one

who could time travel. But then I found out

that Kat could too, so why didn't I put

two and two together then?

That's right, because dogs aren't supposed to time travel.

Right. But if... if Fynn can travel,

you realize this opens up a whole world

of questions and new theories?

- No theories, Elliot! Okay? We need to do something

about my mom, please!

- What is there to do, but wait?

- If you say that the pond takes you where you need to go,

I'm going to scream. - I'm not saying anything.

I can't believe Kat didn't tell me this.

- Maybe she didn't tell you

because you bailed on us, Elliot.

After everything we went through.

After losing Colton, after you and Mom...

You have no right to be mad at her.

You can be mad at me all you want, I... I don't care.

I know I ruined your life,

but you know what, that was an accident.

And you leaving, that was a choice.

- But here I am. I've barely unpacked,

and I'm right back to where I was seven months ago,

the Giles to your Buffy.

- Yeah, well, you don't need to be that person anymore.

I don't need your help. I'm gonna find Mom on my own.

Don't you want to know how she is?

Or who she is?

If she dies, it won't matter.

And if she lives... we'll make her talk.

- The wound is septic.

Managed to keep her alive in spite of the damage

done by your pistol. You're lucky.

That makes me lucky, does it?

I should have taken better aim.

- Alice?

- I don't understand your mother.

What in heaven's name is so important

that she would miss dinner?

- Yeah, she... - she went out of town.

- First I've heard.

- Yeah, well she... - she asked me to tell you,

but I totally forgot. And she was doing some research,

I guess she just had to stay overnight.

- Well, for a newspaper editor,

communication is not her strong point.

So how about you?

Minneapolis. You getting excited?

- Yeah. I guess so.

I don't know, I'm pretty stressed.

I should tell you that the other kids

who are doing Crops 4 Kindness said that they will take over

while Spencer and I are gone during this summer.

I don't want you to worry about that.

- That's good. - Yeah.

Spencer is going to this amazing cooking course in Tuscany.

And all he can talk about is opening his own restaurant

and using your produce for it.

- Wow. The Landry soil is special.

You know, he really thinks

that we should expand. Go province-wide,

like you did with your honey.

- He does, does he?

- Okay. I should get started packing.

- Thanks for helping me clean up.

- Of course.

Dad! Hi.

- Hi to you too! Countdown is on, sweetie.

Just a few more days and you are gonna be Twin-City bound!

- Yeah. I can... hardly believe it.

- Listen, Rachel and I are so excited.

We're gonna hit up a bunch of new restaurants,

maybe a concert, we'll do the museum thing,

but then, you know what? Just... lots of solo

father-daughter time.

- Sounds amazing, honestly.

- And, listen, I...

I had some pretty good ideas about some summer internships,

you know. One of the opportunities

is actually at my own firm. We could go to work together!

- I... didn't realize an internship

was part of the deal.

- It's time to start thinking about your future.

Your career path.

Kinda like a five-year plan?

- Exactly.

Hey, I've been trying to reach your mother all day.

She's not picking up. Where is she?

- Honestly, Dad... I don't know.

- You've gotta keep a better watch on her.

- I do? This is your problem.

You can take care of it. I've got customers upstairs.

- Customers that just got an eye-full.

You keep her locked up!

- Alice...

Alice... Alice.

- You are not going anywhere.

- Is your mom not back?

You would think she'd want to spend as much time

as possible with you before you have to leave.

Yeah, of course she wants to spend time with me, but...

she just has a really important assignment.

- Fine. If you're okay with it.

- Yeah. I am.

- Alright. Well, I'm going now. I'll be back.

- Where are you going?

- Since when am I the only person

who has to check in around here?

I can come and go as I please, just like Katherine.

As you know, I've been leasing out

a large acreage for the past 20 years,

and I want to take it back.

I want to do something different with that.

Something... creative.

- Okay. - I want to turn these acres

into a communal farm.

A place where young farmers can come and learn the ropes

while actually growing crops.

And then the profits from those crops

would go to local charities.

It's really a larger version of Crops 4 Kindness.

And since you helped me with that initiative,

I was thinking, maybe we could work

on a business plan together,

send a proposal to the town council?

- Why not? I'm sure they'll buy in.

Especially if you're behind it. - Thanks.

And thanks for listening.

I still miss... I still miss Colton

when I'm making decisions like this.

- You know, even after Colton passed,

whenever I had a problem, I'd talk to him.

Imagine what he'd say, what advice he'd give me,

and then I would do that.

His pretend opinions were always an improvement

on my dad's real ones.

- I think I might have to try that.

Thanks for the tea, honey.

Actually... I visited my dad while I was away.

- I was wondering about that

when I saw the postcard from Mexico.

How was Victor?

- The same.

- Well, at least you went.

Welcome home, sweetheart.

Hey, Elliot, I would like to keep this land proposal

between us for now. - Understood.

And... you know,

travel can give you a new perspective on things like...

friendships and relationships.

Don't overthink it, Elliot. Love is complicated enough.

- Right as always.

- Fynn? Don't you dare follow me.

Okay? Stay right here.

Not again. - Alice?

Why are you here?

- I... I don't know, but I... am.

What year is this? - It's 2000.

- 2000. So how is everything?

- About how you would expect. - And Kat? How is she?

- If you're here to see Kat, you're too late

because she's left with Brady.

She doesn't live here anymore.

- Well, when did she leave? - A couple of hours ago.

- I can't believe I missed her. - Alice!

Alice, I want you to leave.

- Why?

- Ever since you came here,

my life has... fallen apart.

I used to have a family. I was happy.

Now I have no one.

Colton is gone.

Jacob is gone.

Kat is gone.

It's all because of you!

Go home.

Leave me alone. I never want to see you again.

I won't do it, Thomas. Do you hear?

Your father and I had a deal.

Deal with the devil.

- Good to see I've gone up in your estimation.

We both know you have no choice in this.

Neither of us do at this point. So you'll do as I say.

That looks like somebody's back on her feet.

Who might you be?

- Stop it! What the hell are you doing?

- Now, that's no way to speak to Cyrus Goodwin, I'm afraid.

- Let go of me! - Why?

Running through my town like that,

you must want to see the inside of a jail cell.

- Grab hold!

- Pond won't let me go back.

- I know. That's why I'm here.

- It's supposed to take me where I need to go, but...

apparently no one wants or needs me here.

I was right here just a couple nights ago in my time,

and... I just...

couldn't stop seeing you, and Kat, and Nick.

I just really wished that you were all there.

- Nice to you know you guys still have parties here.

In the future.

They were always fun.

- Until I ruined it all, apparently.

You know, I... I try really heard to live in the present,

but I... I miss this.

It just feels like it was the last time I was truly happy.

- I know. Me too.

- Just must be really hard being here with everyone gone.

- It's like I'm... shipwrecked.

Like I'm... mourning, but not... just Colton, but...

everything that's just... gone now.

It's like... all the good times never even happened.

- We still have the memories, right?

And... we still have each other, don't we?

- It's an mp3 player.

It's amazing. Holds like 25 songs.

I didn't... I didn't mean what I said back there.

I don't hate you.

- It's okay, Elliot.

I will always be grateful to you.

For your help now, and in the future.

♪ I wonder is there anything I'm gonna miss ♪

♪ I wonder how's it going to be ♪

♪ When you don't know me ♪♪

- Whoa, whoa.

Ouch! Jeez.

Thank you... for that.

- Who the hell are you? Where did you come from?

- Look, I'm... just a... I'm a traveler, okay?

I'm just passing through, and...

I got separated from the person that I was with,

and I just... who the hell are you?

- Susanna. Susanna Augustine.

- Augustine?

- Do you think I'm going to kill you?

Why would have I healed you if I wanted to kill you?

- Look, did you see anybody else with me at the pond

when I was, you know... I was shot?

- I was not there. Thomas was.

- Thomas, is that... the man that shot me?

- He says he mistook you for a deer.

Then it's hard to tell truth from lies with Thomas.

To his credit, he didn't leave you to die.

He brought you to me to heal you.

- Susanna, I... desperately need to get back to the place...

where I was, with the person I was with...

The pond. Can you show me the way?

- I'll take you there.

It isn't safe to go alone.

Especially a woman.

- What?

- I guess this is it.

- Yeah.

It's probably the last time, but...

I guess it's the right time.

- I feel so bad for Del. She's completely alone now.

- She won't be forever. Trust me.

- I'm glad we talked. - Yeah. Me too.

Hey, Elliot?

I'm sorry for telling you about your future.

I really never meant to ruin it all for you.

- I know.

- Maybe that's why the pond brought me back here.

So I could apologize.

- Don't worry Alice, I'm... I'm fine.

- Yeah.

You will be. Seriously. I promise.

Bye, Elliot.

- Bye, Alice.

- If I'd known you were gonna make a break for it,

I would have brought you your own clothes.

It's smart to dress like a man while travelling.

Especially with the war.

Um... The war?

The war, yes, um... Because it's 1814 and, um...

1812 was two years ago, which is when it started.

The war, I mean. Ha. Americans.

Trouble, am I right?

Um... You know, I can go the rest of the way on my own.

But thank you for your help.

- Best of luck finding your friend.

It's Alice, isn't it?

- What?

- Your friend. The one you lost?

- Yes. - I thought as much.

You mentioned the name frequently

while you were fighting off the fever.

Yes. Yes, Alice is...

my friend.

Who I really have to get back to, so...

- How d you know Jacob Landry?

You called out for him as well.

- Do you know Jacob Landry?

- I do.

- Little boy. Brown hair,

blue eyes, he's about this... this tall?

Where... where... where is he?

- On the Landry farm, with his family.

God. Okay, okay...

- What do you want with little Jacob?

- I just... I...

I want to see... see him. Can you take me to him?

- I thought you needed to find your friend? Alice?

- Yes. Yes.

I... I absolutely do. Um...

Could you just...

Could you just tell me if...

if he's alright? If he's happy?

- He is.

A very happy little boy.

- Good. That's good.

Alice? Hey! - Mom!

- Come here! Come here, baby.

Are you okay? - Mom, you're back!

- Yeah! I found him!

- What? - I found him, Jacob!

- What? - He's in 1814.

- That's amazing! You saw him? - No, no, no.

No, he was there. He's a little boy.

He's a healthy little boy.

What? Are you okay?

- That's okay. I got shot.

- What? - It's a long story.

It's a long story. We're gonna heal.

We're gonna heal.

- You running off again?

Come one. You can't still be mad at me.

- Don't you want to spend some time with your daughter

before she has to leave instead of gallivanting

all over the place? - Excuse me.

I am not "gallivanting".

Well then, where are you going?

- To Lingermore.

I want to get in and out of the estate sale

before the hordes descend.

- And I'm coming with you.

- Ali, you don't have to do that.

- Yeah, I do. We have to get there

before all the best things get sold, right?

- I don't understand why either one of you wanna go.

I think it is an abomination.

People rooting through that poor woman's things.

- Well, I think it's important to say the final goodbyes.

To... the place and to Evelyn.

So come, daughter. Let's go spend time together.

This portrait is proof, Mom.

You spend time in 1814.

Probably with Jacob.

You have to go back. It's obvious that you do.

Someone from back then knew you well enough

to paint you and call you "my Katherine".

Someone that must've cared about you.

- Hey, strangers.

Good to see you back in one piece.

- Yeah, I... was on assignment.

Took me out of town for a bit.

- Right.

Alice and I were both a little worried.

Anyway... Bottom line, you're here.

Look at this place?

Takes you back, doesn't it?

Just like a... trip to the past.

- I don't think he saw it.

- You told him that I time traveled?

- I had to tell him about Jacob.

I didn't know what else to do. Mom,

you disappeared and I was frantic.

- Well, at least he was there for you.

- He wasn't, actually. He totally shut me out.

It's not a big deal. Just the new Elliot, I guess.

Let's buy the painting and go.

- Alice? God. - Where are you?!

She said she wants you to leave.

Alice, just go back inside.

Stay out of this, buddy. Alright?

Elliot.

Del.

Sorry, you startled me.

- You look like you've seen a ghost.

- There must be a few in this place, right?

- I got your notes on the proposal.

It's very helpful. I sent it in.

- You finished it already? - Yeah. I was on a roll.

No time to waste. They said they'd get back to me today.

- Right. Fingers crossed.

- Absolutely.

Where are you gonna put it?

- I don't know. - Katherine!

- Mom! You... - decided to come.

- Yes, I did. You were right.

It's important to say our final goodbyes

when given the opportunity.

You found something.

Yes. Yes, I did.

For The Herald. I'm just gonna put it in...

in the car.

- Yeah. See you found something too.

- Yes. It's the same edition that Colton had.

The founding of Port Haven.

His fell apart years ago.

Yes. Written but my illustrious ancestors.

- Samuel Augustine. - Well, I...

I'm gonna keep looking around.

- Let me know if you hear anything.

- Hear what? - Nothing.

Nothing.

- Fine.

- Hey!

Alice, I'm sorry.

I really am glad your mom is back, seemingly safe.

But... where did she end up?

Any news about Jacob?

- I thought you didn't want to be involved.

Seriously, Elliot, you need to figure yourself out.

Are you in or are you out? - Just... talk to me.

- Well, I just had this conversation with you in 2000.

- You time-traveled too. Great. You didn't tell me.

- Yeah, well, you didn't want to know.

But that's where the pond took me when it ripped

Mom and me apart, okay? I thought it was a mistake,

but then it took me back again,

even though Mom said that I didn't go back

after Colton's funeral. Which apparently

the pond doesn't know.

But you must remember that visit, right?

We ended up at the cove.

Okay, yes. I remember.

It was the worst summer of my life.

- And you blamed it all on me.

Which... you weren't entirely wrong.

But... why didn't you tell me?

Okay, if you remember that visit,

I just don't understand why you'd keep that from me.

- No, no. Honestly, I... I think this needs to stop.

I just... I can't be involved with you. Or your mother.

- Cole. They said, "No".

The town council turned down my proposal.

I don't know what to do.

- You do know what to do, Delly.

Tell Kat. Tell her now.

Tell her everything.

- I don't think I can.

- Don't repeat the past.

No more secrets.

Don't let your pride get in the way

like it did before.

- Hey, boy.

Here you are. - Hi.

- I brought you a little snack from Wally's chip truck.

- Thank you. - That's very thoughtful.

- And if you have a minute,

I'd... love to talk to you about something.

- Yeah, of course.

- Are those from the almanac?

Um... yes. I'll take that.

I'm... I'm writing a book about the family.

I mean not... not the Jacob book.

No, it's about... the Landry family history.

- Really? - Yeah.

You know, I... You were right

about what you said with me following in Dad's footsteps,

you know, and the Landry Farm is so rich in history.

I swear, the longer I'm here,

the more compelled I am to tell our family's story.

And this book cannot be the only record we have.

So it's... it's time to update the story

and make it personal for the Landry family.

- Wow. I'm impressed.

Well, good luck with it.

And don't be too late.

Wait.

Sorry, didn't you want to talk to me about something?

- It doesn't matter. - It doesn't matter.

You just... you get back to work.

I'm proud of you.

- Evening! Is Del around?

No, she's not at home at the moment.

I just wanted to tell her how bad I feel about the news.

I'm sorry?

- I heard about the town council turning down her proposal

for her land. I hope I haven't ruined anything for her.

Heck, if she loses the farm because of me,

I'd never forgive myself.

It's just time to move on, you know?

Yeah. Right.

- Anyway. You tell your grandma that I dropped by, will you?

That I'm real sorry.

Yeah. Goodnight.

- Night.

I'm really sorry, but I've made up my mind

and I'm... I'm not coming to Minneapolis.

- Really? Why?

I thought you were looking forward to it.

- I was, but... I can't.

I hope you understand.

- I don't, actually.

Wait, is it because I was talking about

all those internships? Did that put you off?

No, no. Of course not.

- It did, didn't it?

- No, it's just... the timing.

It's really... it's not good.

Mom's working really long hours at the paper, and I just...

I don't wanna leave Del alone.

- Okay.

Yeah, no, I understand.

You're growing up, Beta.

Hey Dad, can I call you back?

I will, I promise. Okay? Love you.

Thanks for understanding. - Okay. Love you, too.

- What's your father is being so understanding about?

Um...

I just had to tell him I'm not coming to Minneapolis.

- What?

Why would you throw your whole

summer plan down the drain?

Does your mother know about this?

- No, but I'll tell her when she gets home.

I just wanted you to know that you're not alone.

- I hope you're not doing this on my account.

- No. No. I...

I really want to enjoy my first summer in Port Haven.

And if you say it's magic, then I don't want to miss it.

- I almost forgot. I have a surprise for you.

Elliot's ancestor's book

wasn't the only thing I found at the sale.

This little surprise was waiting for me.

I think I have found your next story.

Your sequel.

- How is it healing? - Um, amazingly well.

Your dad called, and he told me about your decision.

Can I ask what changed your mind?

- I just... I wanna be here for Del.

You might need to be away doing... you know.

And I just don't want her to be on her own.

It's not like I'm going anywhere anyway.

Pretty sure I just took my last trip.

- What do you mean you just took?

I mean, I told you, Alice, you never went back.

- No, no, I went back twice.

- What? When?

- When we got separated in the pond,

I went back to 2000. And then the pond sent me back

again, and I spent time with Elliot.

- You never said anything about this.

- Well, I thought that you would've known.

Elliot must have told you at some point, right?

- No. No, he didn't.

- Don't worry about it, Mom.

It's probably just the pond's way of giving me

a final goodbye, you know?

- Yeah.

♪ You've got a hold on me ♪

♪ I've got a hold on you ♪

♪ You can't let me go ♪

♪ I can't let go of you ♪

- Elliot?!

Hey. You said that Alice never went back.

You lied to me! - I didn't lie.

I just chose not to share the full truth.

- Come on. - You lied to me too!

You time traveled!

You told Alice about our relationship,

both things you told me you hadn't done.

- I wasn't lying about either one of those things

when I told you that.

They just happened... after I told you.

- Whatever. I can't believe you're still using the pond.

Have you learned nothing?

Why do you keep doing this to yourself?

It's like a fixation. - It is not a fixation!

- Is that right? - Yeah.

I did it to save our family.

I'm the one who lost Jacob, yes. Me. I lost him.

And I have had to live with that guilt

every single day since then.

But I can find him.

Okay? I have a chance to actually bring him home.

- When has that ever worked?

Look what it did to you. What it did to me!

- To you?

Don't you dare turn this around.

You made our breakup my fault. My daughter's fault.

Saying that knowing your future ruined your life.

You made it sound like the journey was over,

Elliot, but it wasn't. And you knew that.

Alice did go back, you talked to her,

you saw her, so you know what I think?

I think that you just wanted me to love you.

You wanted me to focus only on you,

and when I couldn't do that... you bailed!

- Stop. You wanna know why I left?

What that was really about? 'Cause I had a lot of time

on the road to think about it. - Please.

- I left because I couldn't deal with Colton's death

and your involvement in it.

Colton was like a father to me.

But you got your five more minutes, I didn't.

And it kills me.

You set out to fix that too, Kat, but you didn't fix it,

you broke it.

- You just watch me fix it.

- Are you going back? - Yeah.

- Be careful, okay?

I love you. - I love you.

Jacob!

Jacob!

Jacob!
