Fatal Trust

: Oh, hold on, dear!

I'm coming.

Hold on, I'm coming!

I'm coming!

Hold on!

Hold on.

I'm right here!

Just another moment.

Oh!

Oh!

And we can be together again!

I'm so glad that you're not a teenager.

You would hate me for this.

I want that rig out of here immediately.

All right, boys?

No blocking the road now, OK?

OK?

Well, she's dead.

It looks like

she suffered a heart attack.

It's a miracle she didn't hit another car

or go off the road.

Can we move her now?

Sure.

I'm, uh...

I'm done here.

I'm sorry, Doc.

This must be a tough one for you.

Yeah.

Hey, Tom!

Move your rig, will you?

You don't need to block the whole freakin' road!

All right, fellas, just clear the road!

Just be a second, Miss.

That's OK. I'm not in a rush.

You look familiar.

Mr. Cooper, it's Kate Ryder.

Well, I'll be darned!

I haven't seen you

since you left for college!

I've been back a couple of times.

I would have seen you

at your mom's funeral,

but I was out of town.

I missed it too.

My son was hospitalized for an asthma attack.

I couldn't leave the city.

Sorry to hear that.

He's fine now.

But the doctor thought

it'd be a good idea if he came up here,

and breathed some fresh air for a while.

Well, judging from

that trailer you're hauling,

looks like a permanent move.

Yeah, I'm moving back in with my sister.

You know,

I've seen about a dozen people

leave town this year.

You're the first I've seen moving back.

Good for you, kid!

Back her up! All the way back!

Well, looks like you can get through now.

Welcome home, Kate.

Thanks, Sheriff.

There you go.

Was that Kate Ryder?

Sure was.

She's moving back home.

Hi!

I still can't believe it.

The big city girl comes back to the country!

Oh, K! How are you?

Mmm. Hi.

Oh, there he is, the little monster!

Come here! You're getting huge!

Hey, you know

what I like after a long trip?

A nice piece

of chocolate cake. I saved you one.

Cool.

You're gonna spoil him.

Hey, Kate, relax. I know kids!

That's 'cause you are a kid!

There's a little bit of a difference.

Hey, guys!

Hey, could you stop shovelling food for a sec?

My sister Kate, my nephew Sam.

Hey, Kate!

Long time no see!

Hi!

Bob, did you take my sports page

into the can again?

You go and pick me up a new paper now,

you hear me?

And you say I don't know kids?

Come here.

I've got a huge surprise for you!

Around the corner!

So Sam, while your mom's at work,

you can hang out here with me.

No way.

Yes way! Oh, I thought I'd get an Xbox, too.

Always wanted one of those.

Will you teach me how to play Halo?

As soon as

I figure out what that is,

absolutely!

This is great.

Thank you, Jess.

Oh, it's not

just for Sam!

It's for you, too!

I figure if I can keep

a eye on him here,

you can work someplace else.

What? I thought

you needed me in the kitchen.

You know you don't wanna work there.

I remember how much

you used to hate it.

Besides, I thought if you got a job

that you really liked,

you'd be happier.

Listen.

This is my father's legacy.

I was the one who was destined

to work here, not you.

You were meant for bigger and better things!

OK, this is Ridgewood.

How many jobs could there possibly be?

You'd be surprised.

So many people

are moving away.

You sure about this?

Yep.

I even saved the classifieds

so we could go through them later.

We're gonna find you

the best job in town.

Ski resort needs staff.

Ah, the pay will suck, though.

I know.

All those zit-faced snowboarders

working for peanuts?

You know you don't

have to pay rent here,

so why don't you

just hang out, and wait

for a job you really like?

I suppose you're right.

I just hate being unemployed.

It makes me feel very strange.

To feeling strange.

Welcome home!

I should have come home sooner.

We all understood.

Especially Mom.

If anybody should feel guilty, it's me.

I mean, I was here,

and I failed her.

Don't say that.

You did absolutely everything you could.

Yeah, but I should have done more.

Once your dad died,

she was just never the same.

Exactly. That's why it wasn't your fault.

And you were here!

Look at me.

I should have come home more often.

I feel like I was a lousy daughter.

You were not!

I'm gonna go see her tomorrow.

Sam and I need to say goodbye.

Mm, I haven't been there in a few weeks.

I should bring some flowers.

Yeah.

Anyway, this is supposed

to be a happy homecoming!

So cheers.

Cheers.

Uh-oh.

Quick, fix your hair.

Why? Who is it?

It's an old friend of yours.

Oh...

my God.

Oh!

Tom Sullivan!

- Kate! Hi. - Hi!

Nice to see you.

: Hi!

I saw you on Route 9.
