The Way Home (2023) s03e06 Episode Script
Ain't No Sunshine

KAT: Previously on,
The Way Home
Evelyn was crushed. It broke
her heart when he chose you.
Stay out of my memories!
You don't have any relation
named Casey?
I don't. Although Casey
is a family name.
I just remembered something
Max said. that you're wife material.
This move-in with Elliott
will be temporary.
- Hi!
- This is my ex-wife.
This song was written in 1816.
That was the year of no summer!
They blamed it all on witches.
Susanna is in danger.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[heavy breathing]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
Cole, Rick. It's getting late,
I should probably go home.
- Stay a bit longer, Evie.
- It's fun.
- Okay.
- Tag, you're the witch!
Come on, Colton!
Let's go hide!
[ENCHANTING MUSIC]
Fairies?
It's me, Evelyn.
You can come out now.
Oh!
Hey, Rick, have you seen Evelyn?
Maybe she's at the pond, Colton,
saying hi to her fairy friends.
[RICK LAUGHING]
But she can't swim!
Evelyn?
Evelyn?
[GASPS]
Oh no.
[GASPING]
Help!
Evelyn!
- I'm coming!
- Help!
[SPLASHING]
[TENSE MUSIC]
Again, I'm sorry
for dropping in.
I just couldn't stop thinking
about last night.
You didn't offend anybody
at the party, Emma.
Everybody loved you
and your playing.
Please remember to tell Kat
that I am sorry.
Stop. Okay?
[CHUCKLING]
I'm so glad you and Kat
found each other.
You guys are great together.
- Don't let her go!
- I'll try.
Kat has a say in that too,
of course.
I hope it's not just,
you know, temporary.
It looks pretty forever to me.
Okay, now I'm going.
[LAUGHING]
- It's great to see you, Elliott.
- You too.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Wait, Jake! No, don't!
- This is my fault,
- I should never have left her.
- If we are seen here,
we're as good as dead!
- Father!
- [SIGHING] Jake!
Jacob!
No! No, no.
How?
You come, now. Both of you.
DEL: Kat? Jacob?
Anyone home?
I see you staring,
Colton Landry.
- I thought you trusted me.
- I do. Of course I do.
I want it to be a surprise!
You know, I always dreamt
of being an artist.
But it doesn't work
for my family.
Daddy especially,
he says art's a nice hobby,
but that's it.
Both my parents
have big expectations for me.
But my actual dreams,
they're not too high
on their list.
Okay.
You can look now.
Wow. Delly. I love it.
But, hey,
you hate water and boats.
Why a fish?
Because.
Here in Port Haven,
I'm the fish, out of water.
And you caught me, Cole.
This is how you'll remember me,
when I'm gone.
Hey, hey.
You're not gone yet.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]
Got your favourite
fish burger and fries.
With mustard, of course.
I could get used to this
lunch break thing.
And the boyfriend thing.
What's up, guys?
How's it going?
Uh, it was going okay, Max.
And you?
Ah, you know, the usual.
Complete boredom.
Oh, but hey!
Things are looking up!
Wally's fries,
thank you, I will.
Mmm.
I thought Alice
was the only one on the planet
who likes that disgusting combo.
You two are like soulmates.
[LAUGHING]
[SPEECHLESS]
Uh, I-I have to go talk
to Mr. Augustine,
so thank you.
I'll see you later?
Hi, there! I see you're
having lunch with Max Goodwin,
- that's excellent.
- How is that excellent?
Because I assigned him
to be your lab partner.
- Are you serious?
- He'll help you get your grades up,
that's what you want, right?
- So, I'm glad you're friends.
- We are not friends!
Okay, you know a thing or two
about being told your future.
That's an understatement.
Do you ever try and fight fate?
Or do you just sit there,
and watch as someone
that you might have wanted to
be with just go out the window?
Why are you asking me
questions like that?
Because you spent years of
your life trying to fight fate, right?
I mean, you even married Emma.
Despite what you may
think you know,
the intricacies
of my various entanglements
are my business, not yours,
including details
about your mother and I's
love life!
[SIGHS]
KAT: So, it's June, 1816,
but it feels like winter.
The year of no summer.
Times are increasingly
difficult.
Where are William
and Little Jacob?
I sent them to Saint John.
For supplies, if there are any.
[SIGHS]
The situation here is dire.
Provisions of the last harvest
are running out,
villagers' new crops
aren't growing.
We were lucky we planted
potatoes and rye when we did.
- Potatoes and rye?
- They seem unaffected
by the cold. It was sound advice
we were given. Ugh
I agree.
Crops aside, how are you doing?
Don't fret yourself for my sake.
It's the rest of the world
you should be worried about.
We found ourselves
on the other side of the mirror.
Where up is down,
wrong is right.
Where Susanna marry Cyrus?
Why?
Susanna isn't saying.
Cyrus' first wife
died many years ago.
His two grown sons
have moved away,
so Cyrus is free to do
as he pleases.
What pleases him
is marrying Susanna.
Always has been.
But she's fended off Cyrus
before, why give in now?
I must say,
Cyrus has tried
to do right by the town
in these dark times.
By opening his wedding feast up,
he ingratiates himself
to the villagers.
And of course,
that makes Cyrus look
like a king of the kingdom.
But how could Susanna
agree to be queen?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
No.
Susanna.
I cannot stay.
I simply came here to see
if my eyes had deceived me.
But here you both are.
- Uninvited.
- What are you thinking,
Susanna? Marrying Cyrus?
It's the very thing
that I helped you to avoid.
I know what I am doing,
Jacob Landry.
And you both need to go.
Back where you belong.
[DOOR OPENING]
Susanna!
What the hell is going on?
This isn't you, this isn't
what was supposed to happen!
Then what should have
happened, Katherine?
And why do you care so much?
You left!
Because you begged me to go!
I have everything under control.
Hey!
[EXHALE]
Ahh!
Did
- did Cyrus hurt you?
- No!
No, he may be many things,
but he has been kind to me.
We can't always marry
the person we wanted, Katherine.
But we can marry the person
who can get us what we want.
Oh.
Susanna?
Susanna, please don't go.
- Goodbye, Katherine.
- [HORSE SNORTS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
I am going to that
wedding reception!
Hey! How was your first day?
Look, I shouldn't have
chastised you at the party,
it wasn't the right time
or place.
So you don't regret
what you said,
just when you said it?
That's not what I meant.
You wouldn't let up,
telling me things
I don't want to know,
things I don't want you to know.
I didn't choose to go to 1974,
that's just where
the pond took me.
So yes, maybe I saw
things you didn't,
but I was there, so now
those are my memories too.
If I go back, then it's always
from my point of view,
- not yours.
- Then don't go back.
I'm not sure I have a choice.
We're all in this together,
we need to talk about it
because we are the only
ones who can.
I need to talk to someone,
but clearly,
- you don't wanna listen.
- Oh.
[SIGHS]
If you insist on going,
then you need to dress the part.
Particularly if you want
to blend in.
This was Rebecca's.
- Thank you, Elijah.
- I'll be going, too.
No. Cyrus' men
would recognize you,
and that would be the end of it.
I agree, Jake.
Cyrus only saw me once
and he was drugged,
- so if I avoid him, I'll be safe.
- No, I
No, Jacob.
Hey, buddy.
Well, you didn't break in,
that's an improvement.
I did try, but I think
you moved the key.
[LAUGHTER]
So. Emma, here.
And you went full MIA
in your text.
Thought I'd better come out
and rescue you.
Thanks, buddy.
But Emma's gone,
and it wasn't too painful.
Sorry for not
getting back to you.
- You really all right, though?
- It was good,
gave me a lot
to think about.
[LAUGHING]
Ah, that's actually
what I was afraid of,
which is why I'm here.
Time for a classic
Nick pep talk.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Okay. Best man pep talk.
Emma and her dad are waiting
to walk down the aisle.
♪Think I don't know that?
Just tell me
what the problem is.
[EXHALES]
I saw Kat.
Kat, Kat, this is about Kat?
I saw her the night
that I proposed to Emma.
She was in the same restaurant
with Brady.
She was smiling, joking.
She was happy,
but that can't have been
a good enough reason
for me to propose to Emma,
right?
Nah, listen man.
You need to start
living your life.
And that starts today.
With Emma.
She's the best thing
that's ever happened to you,
I promise.
- [EXHALES]
- So come on, man,
let's get you out there.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
I'm really struggling
with this thing with Alice.
We've never had a fight before,
not even close.
I don't quite know
how to deal with it.
From my experience
with my own kids,
that old adage,
"time heals all wounds,"
- is actually true.
- Sam Bishop!
You don't need
to tell me the obvious.
Can't believe I have
to go home so soon.
I don't want to leave.
So don't.
I have to, Cole.
Fall Cotillion isn't something
my parents would let me miss.
What the heck is a cotillion?
Well, it's like
a coming-out ball.
Coming out of what?
Childhood.
You're entering society,
and you're kind of being judged
of being worthy.
It's all about your comportment
and grace,
and you have to learn
this dance.
[CHUCKLES] You have to learn a dance?
Yes, everyone has to.
It's quite choreographed.
Oh, so no one just, like,
lets loose and grooves
a little bit?
[LAUGHING]
No!
[SNOBBY ACCENT]: That
would just not be done, my dear!"
[LAUGHING] It sounds crazy.
That's because it is crazy.
Hey.
Do you want me to teach you
the dance?
- Oh no, no way!
- C'mon!
- Mm-mm.
- You afraid you can't do it?

Okay. Step, step.
Step to the side, let me lead.

That wasn't so bad, now was it?
Not bad at all.

Why are you here?
- I'm here to save Susanna.
- [SCOFFS]
Why are you here?
I'm here to save Susanna!
Well, don't bother,
consider it done.
She's my friend!
Are we really arguing over
who gets to be the hero here?
[SCOFFS]
You have been gone almost
two years, Katherine.
So can we please just
enjoy this dance together?
[FIDDLES PLAYING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
My bridegroom is a dashing one!
May I have this dance
with my bride?
Perhaps we could go
somewhere more quiet.
We're here to host the town,
Susanna.
Does that not also include
dancing with them?

Outside. Now!
Are you mad?
What are you doing?
Fixing what I broke.
Do you know the guilt
that I live with?
That I can't rid myself of?
I'm not letting my son

I shouldn't have left you.

You!
The sky! It's snowing blood!
WOMAN: You liar!
You lied to us!
Goodwin!
You said she wasn't a witch!
Listen! Everyone!
How can you be so judgmental?
So cruel?
If you're looking for a witch
Just stop!
You are right.
I am a witch.
I am the one who stole the sun.
Now you have a face to blame.
Is that not what you wanted?
No, she's wrong.
Do not harm her.

[INDISTINCT]
This is a tale
I'm sorry to tell ♪
When witches were hung
for stealing the sun ♪
Hung by the light
of the moon ♪♪
KAT: The whole town must've
thought the world was ending.
ELLIOT: And there were
two lunar eclipses.
Thomas, it's about the moon.
Kat, what are you talking about?
Cyrus is right.
Susanna is not to blame,
because I am the White Witch.
- [CROWD GASPS]
- Returned.
And I am the reason
for this year without summer.
Do not listen to her!
Do not blame her.
No. You are a dead man.
This, this is a dead man.
And yet, here I am.
Not quite as dead as you'd like,
eh, Cyrus?
Brought back to life
by the White Witch.
And her magic.
And wherever she goes, I go.
Even if it is into Hell!
Guards!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
See if this witch can conjure
herself out of a jail cell.
Told you taking out the wall
would be a game changer.
Yeah, the place looks
really great.
Let's go out, let's get a drink,
celebrate.
- Because guess what?
- I can't guess, just tell me.
Claire and I have decided
to move back to Port Haven.
Wow.
What about the yacht gig?
I quit. Charter life,
it's just too much
of a gong show. Claire and I,
we want to get serious,
build a life, which means
I'm on the house hunt.
[AWKWARDLY]: So, you'll be here?
Yeah, like all the time!
- [PHONE RINGING]
- Sorry.
[CLEARS THROAT]
It's Alice.
Answer it. Tell her I say hi.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[SIGHS]
Yup. Hi, it's me.
Look, I drove all the way
to Saint John,
and then I turned around
and I drove right back
because I have a question,
and I'm going to ask it
before I have a chance
to change my mind, okay?
So here it goes.
Why didn't you give me
your family ring
when you proposed?
Emma Baker!
Look at you!
- Nick!
- Hi!
Wow.
[EMMA CHUCKLES]
- Amazing!
- I was just saying
Elliot and I need to get out,
and now here you are.
Why don't we go grab a bite
and catch up?
Okay, yeah.
Come on, bud.
What have I done?
I-I-I didn't think this through.
Kat. Talk to me.
What have you done?
And why did you do it?
There's this song
from this time.
About a witch who stole the sun
and made the moon disappear.
And I thought that it was
about Susanna.
We know about this year,
in my time.
And I-I, I have a plan,
it's just based on that song.
The lyrics, which sound insane.
God, I'm such an idiot!
You are many things,
but an idiot is not one of them.
The song. How does it end?
- At the end of a rope.
- Charming.
I'm really, I'm hoping
that it's just
artistic embellishment,
or, or because the words rhymed,
maybe? Maybe not, I

All will be well.

[KEYS JANGLING]
Ah. Perfect timing.
- Thank you, sir.
- What is happening?
Freedom, thanks to this
fine fellow.
See, I have an "in"
with the guard here,
an "in" that always
gets me "out".
Why didn't you say
something earlier?
Well, I was rather
enjoying myself.
- Weren't you?
- Ugh.
- [KEYS JANGLING]
- Ugh!
You, you let me think
that we were gonna die,
when you knew the whole time
that we wouldn't?
This is like your execution,
all over again.
You need to leave. Quickly!
I can't believe you!
Ugh! You really don't think
of anyone but yourself, do you?
I mean, it's called empathy,
Thomas. Look it up.
Oh, thank God!
Okay, how do we get
to Susanna, how do we fix this?
[PISTOL COCKING]
Well, this is disappointing.
[GASPS]
May I introduce my dear wife,
Mrs. Goodwin.
Where,
where are Thomas and Jacob?
What have you done with them,
what is going on?
A negotiation, I hope,
for during this dark time,
perhaps it is better to have
a witch on my side,
than plotting against me.
So, tell me.
Do you have the power
to stop this curse,
this winter without end?
I don't.
- Pity.
- But I do know things.
Things that will help you
lead Port Haven through this,
and make you look like a hero.
Because I know
that's what you love.
Not good enough, I'm afraid.
This town is out for blood.
And I don't want them
to turn on my wife again!
So, witch, since you cannot
stop the curse,
you become our target.
I'll have to go through
with your execution,
- and Thomas', of course.
- Cyrus, please.
Jacob Landry will be
included too.
His return to town
was an unfortunate choice.
Guard.
No, please. Don't do this.
Please, Cyrus, don't do this!
Cyrus, please, no!
[BELL DOOR RINGS]
Hey.
We need to make peace.
You're right.
All we've got is each other.
I'm sorry, it's been
a lot for me to process.
Please forgive me if I haven't
been easy going about it.
I'm sorry, too, it's just
Oh, honey, please.
You don't need to apologize.
I know it's been emotional
for you, too.
Aww!
How about we raid
the pastry shelf
- and make some tea?

When her hanging rope tightened,
the witch did not
look frightened.
For the night
went as black as a tomb.
When moonlight came back,
her rope had gone slack.
She was gone by
the light of the moon ♪♪
Listen to me!
If you hang us tonight,
I will not only have stolen
your sun,
but I will take
the moon along with me.
Leaving you in darkness
and cold.
Forever!
[CYRUS SCOFFS]
These are empty threats!
From a witch that is truly
at the end of her rope!
She told me herself
she has no control over the sun.
Therefore she has no control
over the moon!
Come on. Come on, please.

You see?
I demand to be released now!
And only when I
and my friends are free

[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I know not how you played that,
but you played it well.
Unbelievably well.
This witch needs
a promise from Cyrus Goodwin.
That you won't even so much
as touch Susanna or Elijah,
and that Thomas and Jacob
will be free men in this town.
Otherwise,
I will steal the moon again.
People fear
what they do not know,
and you haven't even
begun to know me.

Oh, that was a great night, bud.
I'm turning in.

Always.

Mind if I stay a bit?
[SIGHS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
Why didn't it work, Elliot?
- I'm sorry?
- Us.
I mean, I didn't just come here
to check on you,
I came because
I still have questions.
Uh, hear me out, I'm over us,
I'm over the divorce,
I just need to understand
why it happened.
I mean, you didn't even
give me your family ring.
Did you think we were
doomed from the start?
I, I wish I could explain.
I do too,
so what's stopping you?
Look.
My father was completely
out of line
asking you about that ring.
Oh, this isn't about Victor,
this is about us.
And how I always felt
like you were constantly
looking for proof
that I was the one,
that we were meant to be, but
you should have
just believed it.
I probably didn't give us
enough of a chance.
In another world,
another time,
it might have worked.
Because I did love you, Em.
I'm so sorry I hurt you.
I don't know
what you must think of me.
- [SIGHS]
- I'm sorry.
For making you so uncomfortable.
For dredging up the past,
I mean, what's done
is done, right?
But God, Elliot,
I just need to know.
The love was real, right?
At least, for a while?
It was, it was real for me.
Please say it was real for you.
Uh
Um.
Oh my God, I'm
- I'm so sorry.
- It's fine. It's fine.
ALICE: If only I could've
talked to Casey.
How could they just disappear?
I wish I knew what Sam
was doing with them.
It's so frustrating.
I know it sounds ridiculous,
but, when I put the clues
about Casey and Max together,
it does not look good for me.
For my future.
I'm terrified that I might
end up marrying Max Goodwin
somewhere down the line.
A guy that I honestly despise.
Here's what I know about you,
Alice.
You're a strong, smart,
independent young woman.
You're not going to marry
someone that you don't want to.
When you meet the right person,
you will marry them
because you love them.
Let's never fight, ever again.
I agree.
But please, don't tell me
any more of what you see in 1974
because I don't want
to be in on everything.
I thought that 1974 was
something that we could share.
It isn't.
Because it ruins my memories,
it ruins my own version
of what happened back then.
And I need those memories,
Alice.
They're all I have left.
[CAR STARTING]
[SOFT MUSIC]
You risked your life
to save my own,
exactly as I feared you would.
And it worked.
Thanks to you
for riling up the crowd.
It was the least I could do.
I know I have to go.
But I will be sad to leave
this precious space.
You don't have to go
to Lingermore.
And you don't have to be
with Cyrus.
I must.
I will be safe with him.
- [SIGHS]
- [SUSANNA WINCES]
What?
[KAT GASPS]
It's why I was in pain
when you embraced me.
Susanna?
I was on my way home
from Landry Farm some weeks ago
when I was attacked
by the villagers.
They accused me of profiting
from these dark times,
and perhaps even contributing
to them through witchcraft.
Cyrus found me.
He saved me,
and now he's protecting me.
You have to leave!
I can't.
This town, they'll simply
find another witch to burn.
They will bite the hand
that feeds them.
I love you.
And I love you, Katherine.
And I will be back.
Cyrus fears me, as he should.
We will get through this.
We will. Because we must.
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Promise me you'll
take care of yourself.
Aye.
I still don't know how
you got us out of that mess.
We had a plan.
Turned out to be a good one.
You're safe now.
It's true, Cyrus does
usually keep his word.
Unless he can find a way
to work around it.
Well, at least for now,
I could give you some freedom,
if nothing else.
Oh, you gave me so much
more than that.
You gave me the best
dance of my life.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Kat, I
- I have to go home now.
So we should just
say our goodbyes.
Until next time.
Until next time.
[SOFT MUSIC]
What is it?
I'm terrified.
That, that Elijah will be gone
before I have the chance
to see him again.
I can't bear the thought
of losing another father
and not being there
to say goodbye.
Kat, I
listen to me.
I need to tell you
how grateful I am for you.
For helping Elijah,
for protecting him.
I know if you had
the opportunity,
you would have done
the same for our father.
Jake.
Listen to me.
Yes.
Dad died in an accident.
In his truck.
But I was there.
From, from the future.
And I did everything that I could
to stop it from happening,
but I, I
I caused it.
It was my fault.
And I am
[VOICE BREAKING:] I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Your fault.
Yeah.
And I've been trying to find
the right time to tell you this,
because I just felt so guilty
keeping this secret from you,
that you deserved to know and
Jacob, I'm, I'm so,
I'm so sorry.
Please, let's just go home.
Okay? Let's go

KAT: So, it's June, 1816,
but it feels like winter.
The year of no summer.
Times are increasingly
difficult.
Where are William
and Little Jacob?
I sent them to Saint John.
For supplies, if there are any.
[SIGHS]
The situation here is dire.
Provisions of the last harvest
are running out,
villagers' new crops
aren't growing.
We were lucky we planted
potatoes and rye when we did.
- Potatoes and rye?
- They seem unaffected
by the cold. It was sound advice
we were given. Ugh
I agree.
Crops aside, how are you doing?
Don't fret yourself for my sake.
It's the rest of the world
you should be worried about.
We found ourselves
on the other side of the mirror.
Where up is down,
wrong is right.
Where Susanna marry Cyrus?
Why?
Susanna isn't saying.
Cyrus' first wife
died many years ago.
His two grown sons
have moved away,
so Cyrus is free to do
as he pleases.
What pleases him
is marrying Susanna.
Always has been.
But she's fended off Cyrus
before, why give in now?
I must say,
Cyrus has tried
to do right by the town
in these dark times.
By opening his wedding feast up,
he ingratiates himself
to the villagers.
And of course,
that makes Cyrus look
like a king of the kingdom.
But how could Susanna
agree to be queen?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
No.
Susanna.
I cannot stay.
I simply came here to see
if my eyes had deceived me.
But here you both are.
- Uninvited.
- What are you thinking,
Susanna? Marrying Cyrus?
It's the very thing
that I helped you to avoid.
I know what I am doing,
Jacob Landry.
And you both need to go.
Back where you belong.

What the hell is going on?
This isn't you, this isn't

happened, Katherine?
And why do you care so much?
You left!

I have everything under control.
Hey!
[EXHALE]
Ahh!
Did
- did Cyrus hurt you?
- No!
No, he may be many things,
but he has been kind to me.
We can't always marry
the person we wanted, Katherine.
But we can marry the person
who can get us what we want.
Oh.
Susanna?
Susanna, please don't go.
- Goodbye, Katherine.

So you don't regret
what you said,
just when you said it?
That's not what I meant.
You wouldn't let up,
telling me things
I don't want to know,
things I don't want you to know.
I didn't choose to go to 1974,
that's just where
the pond took me.
So yes, maybe I saw
things you didn't,
but I was there, so now
those are my memories too.
If I go back, then it's always
from my point of view,
- not yours.
- Then don't go back.
I'm not sure I have a choice.
We're all in this together,
we need to talk about it
because we are the only
ones who can.
I need to talk to someone,
but clearly,
- you don't wanna listen.
- Oh.

If you insist on going,
then you need to dress the part.
Particularly if you want
to blend in.
This was Rebecca's.
- Thank you, Elijah.
- I'll be going, too.
No. Cyrus' men
would recognize you,
and that would be the end of it.
I agree, Jake.
Cyrus only saw me once
and he was drugged,
- so if I avoid him, I'll be safe.
- No, I
No, Jacob.
Hey, buddy.
Well, you didn't break in,
that's an improvement.
I did try, but I think
you moved the key.

I still don't know how
you got us out of that mess.
We had a plan.
Turned out to be a good one.
You're safe now.
It's true, Cyrus does
usually keep his word.
Unless he can find a way
to work around it.
Well, at least for now,
I could give you some freedom,
if nothing else.
Oh, you gave me so much
more than that.
You gave me the best
dance of my life.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Kat, I
- I have to go home now.
So we should just
say our goodbyes.
Until next time.
Until next time.
[SOFT MUSIC]
What is it?
I'm terrified.
That, that Elijah will be gone
before I have the chance
to see him again.
I can't bear the thought
of losing another father
and not being there
to say goodbye.
Kat, I
listen to me.
I need to tell you
how grateful I am for you.
For helping Elijah,
for protecting him.
I know if you had
the opportunity,
you would have done
the same for our father.
Jake.
Listen to me.
Yes.
Dad died in an accident.
In his truck.
But I was there.
From, from the future.
And I did everything that I could
to stop it from happening,
but I, I
I caused it.
It was my fault.
And I am
[VOICE BREAKING:] I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Your fault.
Yeah.
And I've been trying to find
the right time to tell you this,
because I just felt so guilty
keeping this secret from you,
that you deserved to know and
Jacob, I'm, I'm so,
I'm so sorry.
Please, let's just go home.
Okay? Let's go
I, I can't.
- I can't go with you.
- No, you can't stay here.
I can. I can't even
I can't even look at you right
now. I don't know who I'm talking to.
No, no, no, Jacob.
No. No, no, no, I'm, I'm,
Look, I'm, I'm sorry, okay?
Please, just come home with me
and I will explain everything
when we get there,
please, Jaco
