The Way Home (2023) s04e04 Episode Script

1
SAM: Previously on
The Way Home.
There's always the option
of leaving your nest
- and coming and joining mine.
- Leave Landry Farm?
He has developed a real aversion
to that path through the woods.
What is Jacob doing
in Toronto?
Is he working there?
Hi, I'm Tessa.
Tessa's the hardest working
waitress Coyle's ever had.
I'm glad you got to see Cole.
They're growing up
without me.
It's the same bracelet.
You do know somebody
from the future.
Asking the wrong questions
around here
will get you killed, Kitty Kat.
Did someone put something
in my drink?
Hello?
SOFT GUITAR MUSIC
Oh, I am going nowhere ♪
DOOR BELL RINGS
Hey, buddy.
SIGHING A little help here?
Two espresso martinis.
MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING IN BAR
Uh, uh, we don't, uh,
serve that here.
Whisky Bar.
It's just the classics.
I like that. But
maybe I'm old school.
I'm old school too.
Well, I'm not.
Let's go.
There's this place
down the street
that lights their drinks
on fire.
DISSIPATING FOOTSTEPS
SIGHING Cool.
Officially the last time
I ever agree to a blind date.
See you, Old School.
DISSIPATING FOOTSTEPS
Wish me luck.
Something tells me
you won't need it.
DOOR OPENING AND SHUTTING
- TENSE MUSIC
- CLEARING THROA
What? Why are you
looking at me like that?
No reason, old friend.
Just wondering how long you plan
to stay stuck behind this bar.
MUSIC TURNS PENSIVE
ALICE: Mom's been gone
all night.
It's just like Kat to
see a bracelet
in an old film
and then disappear.
She's trying to help.
She thought that the bracelet
meant that
Fern knew your mom.
I mean, it's possible, right?
I guess they could have met
if she and Griffin had landed
in 1925 when they jumped,
but she didn't stay long.
My dad gave me this when
he was here. It's from my mom.
SIGHING The family ring
was with it, which means
That Tessa did come back
from the past?
DOOR OPENING
This is all so confusing.
I just
I miss the good old days
when time travel
was just to hang out
with my teenage mom.
Well, not just your mom.
- CURIOUS MUSIC
- Nick!
SCOFFING What are you
doing here?
Closing on a house.
I'm about to be an official
Port Havenite again.
Buddy!
Wait, you finally
bought something?
Yes. Well, remotely.
One last season on the yacht
circuit did the trick.
Claire and I can finally
afford a place, so
Coming home, buddy.
ELLIOT: Wow.
So, uh, is Claire with you?
Nah, she's at work.
But come on, tell me
the latest pond drama.
It's, uh, a little
complicated.
Well, we have dealt with
complicated before.
NICK CHUCKLING
So come on,
start from the beginning.
My place could really use
your green thumb, Del.
I am not gonna disagree
with you.
Speaking of which
we haven't really
talked about that whole
moving in with me
thing since I brought it up.
Oh, yeah.
I've thought about it, Sam,
and I can't think about
leaving the farm.
- Not right now.
- Right.
So, uh, if you don't mind,
can we put that idea on pause?
Of course.
Take all the time you need.
So you're all right with that?
I'm not going anywhere, Del.
Come fall, we can still spend as
much time as we'd like together,
regardless of whose roof
it's under.
We can have our movie nights,
quiet dinners.
Just hunker down.
Just the two of us.
Yeah. Um, that sounds good.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
CHUCKLING
Hello?
Anybody?
This is all a very big mistake.
CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY
SIGHING I can't believe this.
Mmh. Talking to yourself is
never a good sign.
Finally.
Okay, listen, listen.
You have got the
wrong impression of me.
- That's what they all say.
- Um
But I just see a gal who
always has a drink in her hand.
- What?
- CUP THUDDING
So, out with it.
Who are you really?
You have no ID,
no money, no purse.
You tell me where Fern is,
and maybe I'll tell you
who I am.
Fern's fine.
Though she put up quite a fuss
as they were dragging you away.
I don't remember any
of that at all.
Well, that makes sense.
You were passed out drunk
- on the Coffee Spoon floor.
- I was not drunk, okay?
I was drugged by those
Augie boy creeps.
I mean, don't you even realize
that they're bootleggers?
Percy and Moe have seen the
inside of that cell many a time.
That's apparently what
we do here.
Jail them, fine them,
let them go.
Wheel keeps turning.
I thought it'd be different,
but nope.
It's just a vicious
money-making cycle.
Doesn't sound like
you really love your job.
You don't sound like
you're from around here.
So, how about you tell me what
brought you to town,
and I'll tell you my feelings
about working here.
FERN: Kitty Kat?
Fern!
How come no one invited me
to the party?
WHIMSICAL MUSIC
Miss Landry, here to
fraternize with our criminal?
Oh, I'm here to thank you,
Inspector.
Five Star hotel
couldn't have treated
my girlfriend any better, but
it's time for her to check out.
I paid the bail
and we'll be going.
You paid the bail?
I'm a modern girl with
modern means.
Now, if you would be so kind
as to open the cell,
we'll be on our way.
So you think your mom
time travelled,
- came back, and died?
- Yeah.
And Kat thinks your mom time
travelled, got trapped,
- and is in the 1920s?
- Mm-hmm.
But if Tessa's in the 1920s,
technically, she's long since
dead anyway, right?
Okay, maybe let's call it on
the dead mom talk?
Look who's here!
- DEL LAUGHING
- Aww.
Always nice to see you, honey.
- Sam.
- How are you doing, Nick?
SIGHING Well, I have news.
I'm coming back for good.
Oh, wow. That's fantastic.
Now all I need is a boat.
- LAUGHING
- Del?
Colton's boat.
It's not for sale.
Not yet.
But now that I'm here,
I'm not going to give up
so easily.
Oh, well, I'm ready
for the challenge.
APPROACHING VEHICLE
HONKING
LAUGHING
- Who's that?
- Julian.
Nick's biological dad.
- JOYFUL MUSIC
- There my boy!
Big stage actor.
Pretty well known, actually.
Can you believe
I'm gonna be a homeowner?
- HUFFING
- Bet you thought
you'd never see the day.
Thanks for coming, Julian.
Are you kidding? I wouldn't
miss it.
Plus, your mom's
made me contractually obligated
to be present for all pivotal
child-related moments.
- LAUGHING
- Julian, you know Elliot?
- Of course.
- Good to see you, Julian.
And this is Alice.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
And somehow,
I don't think you've met
the Landry matriarch yet,
Delilah.
Uh, no. I would have
remembered if I had.
Nice to meet you, Julian.
I've heard a lot about you.
Well, it's a pleasure,
Delilah.
And I'm Sam,
Delilah's boyfriend.
Oh, luckiest man
in Port Haven!
Correct, sir.
- Who wants coffee?
- Uh, yep.
You two have a
wonderful place here.
- It's, uh, it's
- Oh, the farm's mine.
Well, my family's.
Well, I was raised
on a farm myself.
Not one as beautiful
as this one.
It's not a livelihood
for the faint of heart.
You didn't
stick with it, then?
No, I chose the much
more stable career
of a Canadian
theatre actor.
LAUGHS
Well, Jude and Joyce say
that you've made quite a name
for yourself over the years.
Celebrity in extremely
niche circles, perhaps.
But if you ever find yourself
in Stratford,
feel free to drop my name.
I'll keep that in mind.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
MUTTERING: Snapdragons.
Um, pardon me?
Uh, my mom planted them
everywhere on our farm.
Oh.
- Well, um, let's join the others.
- Yes.
Just be honest.
How did you know that song
from last night?
It's from 60 years
in the future.
Songs are
timeless, Kitty.
I bet yours is just a new
recording of the old ditty
because I've known that tune
for absolutely ages.
Somebody must
have taught it to you then.
So who was it? Was it Tessa?
I told you, I don't know
a Tessa.
And truly, it's not safe to
keep asking these questions.
People don't like it!
People like the Augie Boys?
Is that why they drugged me?
Am I the one that their boss
wants to "get rid of?"
Stop the nonsense, Kitty Kat!
I'm the one who drugged you.
Now, enough with the questions,
all right?
- SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
- What?
It was you.
SCOFFS
INCREDULOUSLY Why?
It was the only way I could
protect you.
You're right.
The Boys have it in for you
for some reason.
But they couldn't reach you
in jail now, could they?
When Cliff mentioned the raid,
I saw an opportunity
and made it look like you were a
lousy drunk, ripe for arresting.
But honestly, Kitty, if you had
any manners at all,
you'd be thanking me.
Don't you understand what
putting me in jail would do?
The longer I am in the past,
the more my family back
home worries.
It's why I did it, so that you
could live to get
home to the people who love you.
So, sue me!
Oh, my God.
Okay.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
You do realize who the Augie
boys are working for, yeah?
- It's your fiancé.
- CHUCKLING
What? You think Grayson
Goodwin is bootlegging?
Doll, he has all the money
in the world.
The boys might have a boss,
but it's not Grayson.
Well, then who is it?
Who knows!
For all I know or care,
it's you, Kitty.
I thought I could trust you.
HUFFING
Can you ever really
trust anyone?
Apparently not.
INTRIGUING MUSIC SWELLING
SIGHING
CITY DIN
SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
Stop staring.
Can't help it, I'm afraid.
I find you highly entertaining.
CHUCKLING Why's that?
Oh, uh,
CHUCKLING you'll figure it
out sometime, I'm sure.
You're smart. Not quite
as smart as me, of course,
but what can you do?
You never did
lack confidence, did you?
It's easy to be confident when
you're right all the time.
Let me guess,
you think that I need
somebody to save me, right?
But you're wrong.
Things have changed.
I'm no longer hiding
from the good ones.
No, no.
You're hiding from
everything else now.
CITY DIN
You know what's funny?
Nicky's first love was
named Alice.
COUGHING
- DOOR OPENING
- Oh, um, what a coincidence.
- DOOR SHUTTING
- Yeah, that's, uh, super weird.
HOPEFUL MUSIC
Mom, finally.
SIGHING: It's okay,
sweetheart, I'm good.
Okay, uh, why don't we give
these people some space?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Well, I, uh. I've got to
deliver this honey to the Point.
Oh, you make honey.
- I do.
- How fitting.
All right, all right,
let's get moving.
Are you alright?
- I'm fine, Mom.
- DOOR OPENING
- We'll catch up later.
- Okay.
SIGHING
So you were drugged, jailed,
and now have a target
on your back?
Mom, you can't go back there.
But I do go back.
I'm in that camera test
thing with Fern.
What, you want me to take
a break?
Maybe I can find
something out in the 70s?
I just have to figure out
how to avoid Colton and Del.
I think my time hanging out
with them is pretty much over.
It's hard, but I've been through
it before with you guys.
Technically, you know,
we are still here.
And just as cool as ever.
Wait a minute.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
Wait, there's something here.
Look.
That book at the cabin.
Look, it's here too.
Is that a crown?
There's a crown on the
Goodwin crest.
Alice, you said you found
that bullet
at the site of the
1926 explosion, right?
Yeah, so what does that mean?
It places Grayson there,
in the tunnels,
used for bootlegging.
Fern is wrong.
I mean, he is in on it.
I I have to go back.
Right, okay, no time travel.
I will just find another way to
learn about Grayson.
But, man, you know, as Fern
would say,
you guys are real flat tires.
Since I am grounded,
I think I'm gonna use this time
to focus on the Herald.
Oh, your job.
How nice.
HUFFING Um, actually,
I'm considering
shutting down the paper.
You know, the town council
is fine
with whatever decision I make.
What? Close the Herald?
Oh, for heaven's sake,
Katherine. What's your plan?
My plan is, is
trying to figure out what
I want my life to be.
You know, I mean, this fall
brings a whole new chapter
for all of us, doesn't it?
Yeah, I suppose you're right.
CHUCKLING I guess
I should tell you.
Sam asked me to move in with
him, but I turned him down.
HUFFING Anyway, as far
as the Herald goes
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- CURIOUS MUSIC
- LAUGHING Just
um, we're
unpacking that.
Um, for starters, I can't
imagine you
anywhere other than the farm.
I might want to
go someplace,
you know, see some things.
Yes, of course.
It's just, you don't usually.
But I might.
I mean, age doesn't determine
how quiet your life is.
Did you know that this house
used to be the party house?
- I don't remember any parties.
- Well, you wouldn't.
You were born in 1982 and it
stopped after that.
- No offence.
- CHUCKLING
But when Colton and
I were first married
Ooh, baby.
We had the best kitchen parties.
What's a kitchen party?
It's an East Coast thing.
It's a casual gathering
in the kitchen.
And your friends bring
instruments,
and you sing, and you dance.
Sounds just like Colton.
It does, doesn't it?
Hey! Well, why don't we have
a kitchen party?
- In honour of Nick's homecoming?
- KNOCKING ON DOOR
Hold on, I'll get that.
Huh.
PENSIVE MUSIC
- MAN: Delivery.
- DEL: Oh, thank you.
DOOR SHUTTING
CHUCKLING They're
snap dragons.
WHIMSICAL MUSIC
From Julian.
So, is this party
really in honour of Nick?
SOFTLY Or Nick's dad?
Oh, shush.
ENERGETIC COUNTRY MUSIC
Your food will be out
in just a sec.
Thanks. Julian and I are going
to look at the house,
and we needed some chow.
I think it's great
how you're so cool
with him being in your life.
Most of the parent-child
relationships I've known
are full of drama.
HUFFING
Speaking of drama,
WHISPERING what'd your
mom find out about Tessa?
No real answers,
just more questions.
I thought I might try
and jump back
to see if I could
find anything out in the 70s.
But trips to that time have not
been as easy as they used to be.
Why has it got to be hard?
Like me and Jules.
Just because things seem
like they should be complicated,
that doesn't
mean they have to be.
PHONE RINGING
TOM: Answer it.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
SIGHING
I know. I tried to work.
I really did.
But Evelyn's files,
they were just
They're right there,
and they're staring at me.
What, what if there's more
personal information
about Grayson in there?
I mean, he was her
grandfather, right?
I wanna know who
Grayson really was.
Not, not the guy
in the history books.
I just, but I know
SIGHING
I need to focus on my job.
How can I help?
COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING AFAR
Come on, we can't be late.
VIC: Tess, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
You look so beautiful.
CHUCKLING I had to
dress to impress.
Do you realize this is the first
time I'll be in their house?
I think that means we're
actual friends now.
It's because of you.
You've worked so hard
this past year
to make this happen.
You brought us all
back together.
It's 'cause it's all
I want, Vic.
Friends that feel
like family.
I am so lucky
I get to marry you.
- INTRIGUING MUSIC
- VIC, SOFTLY: Let's go.
DOOR OPENING AND SHUTTING
It's Alice, isn't it?
SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
I know you from Coyle's
from a long time ago?
Um, yeah.
That's right.
Good memory.
Aren't you coming?
Oh, um, I've just been
I was just leaving.
Well, it's nice to see
you then.
Please don't tell anyone
that I was here.
I thought you said
you were just inside.
Uh, yeah, I was, but
But you're lying.
No, I, I just
I, um
It's, it's complicated.
What would happen if I told?
Look.
I kept your secret, so
now you can keep mine.
I saw you that day.
At Coyle's.
Taking the money.
I'm not the only one with
good memory, apparently.
Okay. It's a deal.
COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING AFAR
DOOR SHUTTING
COUNTRY MUSIC CONTINUES
Well, not much
on Grayson so far.
Evelyn had a ton of stuff
on the White Witch lore.
Kind of strange.
Wait.
Take a look at this.
That's Grayson's marriage
certificate from 1926.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
He married someone else!
I don't understand.
I mean, the Grayson that I met,
he was fully devoted to Fern.
What happened that year?
It's just another thing that
doesn't make any sense.
I'm gonna add this to the list.
He had a little sister
who died young, Cassandra.
KAT: Those kids.
They look like the ones
from the Lingermore mural
that Grayson commissioned.
The ones that the White Witch
was floating over
and, and protecting.
Well, if he was commissioning
portraits to honour his sister,
he can't be all bad, right?
I don't know. I could spend
all night researching this,
but I have to focus
on my work.
SIGHING
Seems like you avoiding it.
I know.
I know. You know what?
The truth is,
I don't want to work on
the Herald stuff.
Back in the 20s, this place was
a revered institution.
It was meaningful,
and it was essential.
And, and now, I just
Nobody would miss this paper
if it was gone.
I don't think you
really mean that.
You've done incredible
work here, Kat.
Maybe I'm the one that
wouldn't miss it.
Hmm.

This entry Who, who was this?
Jacob Landry,
- SOFT MUSIC
- he'd be my great-great granddad.
His father was William.
His grandfather was our founding
father, Elijah Landry.
He was a special man.
He built this farmhouse.
It was much smaller
back then, but
still warm, though.
At least that's
what I've been told.

Jacob.
Yeah, me too.

We were all best friends, so
when they wanted to have

Probably seems like a crazy
thing to do, but
I could make them happy.

Honey, there you are.
You're just in time for a duet!
You don't have to, honey.
Um, no.
I want to for you.
PIANO KEYS
This one key is always a
little bit sticky.
One day, I'm going to fix it.
So, any requests?
Yeah, actually.
This one?
Oh, I know this song.
You ready?

Jacob!
Jacob?
Jacob?
Mom.
Jacob!
Oh, Jacob, thank God.
Where are you?

- Oh, beautiful.
Quiet, everyone. It's Jacob!
LINE DISCONNECTING
Jacob?
Jacob, honey, I'm here.
They're happy, okay?
It's better I'm here.
Better for who?
Oh, Jacob
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
He was there.
I almost had him.
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES
SIGHING It just keeps
ringing.
He's not picking up.
Should I go check on Grandma?
No, I'd give her
some space, kiddo.
- UTENSILS CLINKING
- I saw her tonight,
1979, with Colton.
She was pregnant, Mom.
In 79?
They were worried it wouldn't
last, and I guess
I had no idea
Mom lost a pregnancy.
Which makes it even worse.
She kept that pain to herself,
and then losing Jacob
not once but twice?
DOOR OPENING
Can I join you?
HUFFING
I think I ruined the party.
We were out of food anyway.
Mmh.
I came so close to getting
him back,
only to lose him again.
I'm so sorry, Del.
For everything.
This, our argument before.
I'm so damn sorry for all of it.
It's okay, honey.
If I'm being honest, I
think I was using the party to
try to recreate the past
so I didn't have to think
about the future.
Sam's talking about it being
just the two of us in the fall,
and it made me realize
It's gonna be life
without Jacob,
and I just can't face
that, not again.
If I could fix
this for you, I would.
SIGHING Well, I appreciate
that, sweetheart.
Some things in life
just can't be fixed.
BIRDS CHIRPING
SAM: Morning.
Morning. You're up early.
Yeah. I had a hard
time sleeping.
Look, Del, I know in times like
this you like your space,
but I'm here if you want to
talk about it.
I could make us dinner.
You know, I've missed just us.
Have you?
Sorry?
SIGHING Nothing, Sam.
I'm just tired.
- I shouldn't have said anything.
- No, no, please.
What was it you wanted to say?
Oh.
DISSIPATING FOOTSTEPS
It's just that you seem
very relaxed
with Julian's attention
towards me.
It makes me feel like
you take us for granted.
And us
we're not a given Sam,
we're a gift.
Agreed.
Are you trying to convince
yourself?
No, no. I just want to be
sure that we feel the same.
Well, I can assure you I do.
I Look, Delilah,
you're upset about Jacob.
Of course I am,
that phone call.
The party was a distraction.
- To hide my pain.
- MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
I took the easy road.
Maybe I'm
using this relationship to do
the same thing.
And that's not fair to you, Sam.
I think I can decide
what's fair to me.
I think we should
take a step back.
Okay. Uh, if that's
what you want.
I can't change your mind.
See, that's what I mean.
You don't fight for us.
Because I thought you wanted
to be in this relationship.
Please,
don't confuse confidence
with carelessness.
You know, maybe don't
internalize everything.
Let me in.
Share the plot so
I can follow along.
You know, instead of keeping
everything such a damn mystery.
SIGHING I don't want
a guessing game.
I want you.
SIGHING
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES
Hey, have you heard
from Elliot?
No, why?
Well, he texted me at,
like, 4 a.m.
He was just saying, you know,
be back soon.
Try to stay out of
the pond until then.
I called and it went straight
to voicemail, so
I don't know.
- What are you doing?
- SIGHING
Something else happened in 79.
Something I didn't
tell you about.
We're not open.
Uh, you can come back
SIGHING
Elliot?
How did you find me?
Bartender at the Snug Pub.
Told me he'd set you
up with a job here.
I hopped on the first flight
this morning.
Well What do you want?
Isn't it obvious?
To bring you home.
HUFFING
Fern was just filled
with so much hate.
It was like something
terrible had happened
between her and Tessa
at an earlier time.
Mom, you were right.
They have history.
But Tessa just doesn't
know it yet because
Tessa doesn't jump back
in time until 1983.
She hasn't lived it.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
Well, why doesn't Fern want
Tessa near this?
I don't know.
Tessa only pointed at
Jacob Jr's entry.
She seemed pretty
interested in it, actually.
Well, the date filled out
for his death, it's
That handwriting.
I think I know it.
Oh, my God. Look.
See?
The handwriting
in Tessa's letter
and in the entry
in the almanac
They're the same.
They were both written by Tessa.
KAT: If Tessa filled in Jacob
Jr's death date in 1882,
then that means that she must
have been there in that era.
I always walk in at the most
interesting times.
Is this just a thing
you do now?
Oh, my God. Look,
Fern Landry's
birth date entry
in 1896 is also
in Tessa's handwriting.
So Tessa was at Fern's
birth too?
Fern's known her
her entire life.
What?
No, seriously. What?
- SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
- If Tessa was there in 1882,
1896, and 1925,
that means that she didn't jump
for a one-time visit to the 20s
like Elliot thinks.
She jumped and she stayed.
And if Griffin came back
to the present like mom said
while Tessa was
still in the past,
that means she got
trapped there.
Because you can't bring
someone forward in time.
So a Landry from that
era wouldn't have been able
to bring Tessa to the future.
Which means Tessa has been
waiting for 43 years
for someone from her timeline
to bring her home.
I'm not gonna
let her wait any longer.
- INTRIGUING MUSIC
- What, Mom!
You can't do that.
No, it, it's too dangerous
for you to go alone.
I, I'm coming with you.
No, no! I'm not letting you
get mixed up in all of this.
I'll go.
Being a bosun on a super yacht
requires you
to be a bodyguard
and a bouncer.
Look, I have hidden
skills, Landry.
SIGHING What if I get
separated from him?
He might never get back.
Are you sure?
Well, less sure now.
But yeah, let's, let's do this.
Should I get changed,
grab a towel?
Uh, no.
All you have to do
is just trust me.
I get to go in
the time machine!
- MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
- I miss everyone.
Of course I do.
All right? I just, uh,
I'm trying to build a life
for myself here,
which is what it sounds
like Mom is doing too.
I'm glad to hear it.
Honestly, Jake, the party,
her happiness,
all of that is despite you
leaving, not because of it.
You need to come home,
be with her.
Getting more time with
your mom is not a guarantee.
Trust me on that.
I think you should leave.
What?
I hurt them, Elliot.
That's
what I do.
All right? And if I go back,
I will just keep doing it.
- Jacob, that is not
- Please!
Elliot, I need you to go.
