The Way Home

Previously, on The Way Home.

- I'm Elijah Landry. If you're Jacob's sister,

that makes you family too.

- Well, this is a bit awkward. - 'Cause you're the guy

who won't keep up the lease on my land?

- Because it appears you've stolen my horse.

- What do you want with the Landry family?

- I found him! Jacob, he's alive!

Maybe we just set some boundaries.

No more time travel talk.

You said that we made a pact,

but I think I would remember that conversation.

- Don't be in a hurry to jump back in.

- But why? - Everything you knew

about those kids we once were...

is going to change.

- Oh my God, Alice, you're here! I've missed you so much!

Come! - Come on, take a seat.

It's so good to see you.

You have no idea how much I've needed this.

- Oh, dear. It's just roast chicken.

- Alice. Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible?

Oh, uh... I guess... flying?

- Me too! I'll fly up, up and away!

Okay, Superman.

Can you get a picture of me and Alice?

Say "cheese"!

- Cheese. - Cheese!

So Alice, tell us.

Where have you been all this time?

I mean, we've been looking for you everywhere.

- You have? - He's been mad as a hatter.

- Well, it's... kind of a long story. I...

I would way rather hear what you guys have been up to.

And... Jacob, what's new in your world?

I'm drowning.

- Look, we look so cute. Don't we?

I... I can't see us.

You can't... or you won't?

Alice? Where are you?

I... I'm right here.

- We're waiting for you. Come back.

- What are you waiting for, Alice?

- Hi! - Dad.

- Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?

Are you alright?

It's okay. I'm here.

I know. I'm so glad.

- There she is. - Hi.

- Hey, just in time for breakfast. Are you hungry?

- Um... yeah, I guess. - Come on.

Is everything okay?

- Yeah. I just had a... a bad dream.

- Oh. - Dad, how long are

you staying for? - Uh, just a few days.

I rented a cottage on the water. It is beautiful.

Hey, I was thinking maybe we'd spend the day together,

you know. We could...

I don't know, like, go for like a hike or...

- Oh, yeah. And if by "hike" you mean...

- I mean sitting in a dark movie theatre

stuffing our faces with popcorn.

Sounds good.

There you go, baby.

- What are you waiting for, Alice?

- Uh... Dad, actually I completely forgot I told

a friend that I would meet them for breakfast, so I...

I should get going. - Okay. Yeah, yeah. That's fine.

We have plenty of time.

Yeah.

Elliot?

Elliot. Hi.

Y-You're back again?

- Nice to see you too... When am I?

How long have I been gone?

- Alice, it's... October of 2001.

- It's been... over a year? What have I missed?

Everything.

- Boy, Stormy's paddock sure looked empty.

I suppose I should stop calling him that.

He's not mine.

Um...

Mom. I wanted to see if I could talk to you, just...

- If this is about the land, I've got it handled.

- We just thought that since I was in town,

maybe I could take a look at the lease.

Oh, Brady. I hope this isn't

the reason that you came to visit.

You don't need to worry about this.

Rita shouldn't have said anything.

- And if Rita hadn't let it slip,

were you not gonna tell me?

I mean, this is Landry land, Mom.

It has a history. Probably more than you know.

- Believe me, Katherine. I know the history of this land.

I've been here, living it. I never left.

- So because I did, I don't get a say?

Nice.

Oh, gosh.

Danny! You ruined my shot.

Hey, Danny.

I didn't know you were gonna be at the farm today.

- Well, Del's been so busy with her honey business,

she asked me to come on part time, help her on the farm.

Ah, nice.

Hey, could I just... talk to you for a second?

Uh, about Jacob?

I'm sorry, it's just... I found these polaroids that he took.

- He carried that camera with him everywhere.

- Yeah. Um, these were different.

They were all of the pond.

You mean Jake's pond?

- Jake's pond? I don't understand.

- Well, he always wanted us to play there.

He loved it. I think it was because of all those

ghost stories, you know? The White Witch and all.

Are you alright?

- Guess I just... realized there's a lot

I don't know about Jacob.

Uh, anyway. Take care.

- You warned me in my time that when I came back,

things would be different. And... I just kind of thought

that something bad would happen. - Something bad did happen.

The world has imploded. - I know. I just...

I guess I was scared that it would be something less...

global, more personal maybe.

- Alice, the entire world was in those buildings.

Doesn't matter where you were when it happened,

you felt the impact.

You wouldn't get it. You're just a kid.

Elliot, we're the same age.

- No, I'm 19 now. I go to university.

- Then... why are you here? - I got a scholarship

to the University of New Brunswick,

and to save money I'm...

living at home, with... my dad.

- Which means... Kat must be in Minneapolis now with...

Brady at journalism school.

- Must be nice knowing how everything works out.

- But you don't want to know. Adult you has made that

very clear. - I just want to live my life.

- And I don't want to get in the way of that. Okay?

Let's just... let's just make a pact, okay?

I won't tell you any more about the future, other than...

it's... not so bad.

And parts of it are actually really great.

- I shouldn't be surprised that the pond brought you here now.

It's been over a year since either you or Kat

have been home, so now that you're here at the same time...

it can't be a coincidence.

- Kat's here? - Yeah.

She just arrived with Brady.

Just here for the weekend. Kind of random if you ask me,

'cause it's not even Thanksgiving, but...

- No, no, you're right. It's... it's not random.

It can't be. I'm here, and she's here,

which has to mean something, right?

- It's just I hate the idea of someone trying

to take advantage of Del. - I know,

I shouldn't have mentioned it to you.

- Again, I just... I wanna help, okay?

I don't know, it's... it's important to me.

- I know. And I love you for that.

Thank you. - Thanks.

- Oh. - Good morning, Kat. Brady.

How long are you in town for?

I'm not sure. Maybe a week.

- Nice. Certainly a lot of vacation time.

Yeah, says the teacher.

Uh, yeah.

Uh, Brady, you know what?

I'll catch up with you later.

- Everything okay? - Huh? Yeah, yeah.

No. Um... maybe.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. And...

We set boundaries and I'm really trying to figure out

whether or not I would be crossing one if I told you

what I really want to tell you.

Unless you say, "It's okay",

I... You know what? It's okay. Never mind.

Never mind. I'm... gonna see you around.

- And I thought I'd never see Kat again.

And Mom insists that we never saw each other

after Colton's funeral until she... you know, had me.

- What happened to not telling me about the future?

- What if I saw Kat again and she just forgot?

Hey Brade, wait up. I'm coming too.

- Won't you rather stay with Del and catch up?

No.

Al... Al... Hmm.

Alice! - Kat! Wait, don't leave!

- Well, at least Brady's taste in music hasn't changed.

- Why would the pond bring me here just to watch Kat leave?

- She's gonna be here all weekend.

We could hang out and wait for her.

I can't. My dad's visiting

and he'll notice I'm gone for too long.

- I gotta write a paper, so... good luck with Kat.

I know what I said.

I wanna know what you know.
