Cedar Cove (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 3 - Reunion - full transcript

Previously on Cedar Cove...

I want to make sure
your stay here

is as nice as...

Have we met before?

I don't want you
to think that I'm...

not interested.

A kiss is just a kiss.

We'll see.

I'm really glad that
this worked out.

You know, I was getting
kind of worried for us

after the whole
lighthouse ordeal.



We were both
just doing our jobs.

Let's just hope

it doesn't cause problems
in the future.

You are a reporter, Jack,

and I'm a judge.

There could be other conflicts.

No, there won't.

Because we're gonna make sure
that we never cross that line.

Better yet, how about

we do our best not to talk shop
while we're together?

That sounds good.

Besides, I'm sure we can, uh,

figure out some
things to talk about.

Such as...?



Such as...

well, I could tell you

how I'm taking woodworking
lessons from Bob Beldon.

Woodworking?

Really?

Yeah, I mean, it's something that I've
always had an interest in,

and it turns out

that Bob is this
woodworking Jedi Master.

I mean, seriously, he's amazing.

So he started
teaching me a few things,

and I'm really enjoying it.

It's actually kind of
therapeutic.

Listen...
[Clears throat]

How about we skip dessert here,

go back to my house?

I just happen to have picked up

two incredibly
delicious cannolis

from this little bakery
in Cooperton I heard about.

I love cannoli.

I know.

I asked Grace.

[Laughs]

[Pouring drinks]

Do you want some more coffee?

I'm good.

You know, I knew
you liked sports,

but this is
a lot of memorabilia.

I even have a mouthpiece

worn by the great
Ron Jaworski himself.

You know, somewhere in here.

I have no idea who that is.

Quarterback for the Eagles,
back in the day.

I know, I'm borderline
obsessive, aren't I?

Borderline?

[Chuckling] It's a curse.

The more
I pour my heart into it,

the more it gets torn out.

It's very stressful.

Well...

it's a good thing
you're doing woodworking then.

Yeah.

Much better than a shrink.

Do you hear that?

What?

That's my heart pounding,
like a jackhammer.

[Clears throat awkwardly]

Remember, I'm not used to
doing this sober.

We're in uncharted waters here.

You're doing fine.

Good.

My heart's pounding, too,
just so you know.

Hey.

[♪]

[Footsteps outside]

[Gasps]

There's someone at the window.

Hey! Can I...

Eric?

Hi dad.

[♪]

Cedar Cove 01x03
Reunion
Original Air Date August 3, 2013

I don't believe this.

- Look at you.
- Yeah.

It's been a long time.

Last time I talked to ma,
she said that you moved up here.

I'm really sorry
to show up like this,

but I don't have
your phone number or your email.

I tried your cell,
but it didn't go through.

Cell phone reception
is terrible in this town.

Here, come on in.

Come on in.

Olivia, this is Eric,

my son.

Hi.

Pleasure to meet you.

Oh, and Olivia is...
She's the town judge.

You know, we're, um...

Well, we just had dinner.

I mean, we're not...

Hey, what...

What brings you
across the country?

Oh.

Actually, I've been living
in Vancouver for the past year.

Vancouver?

Washington.

Until my girlfriend and I
broke up,

and she kicked me
out of the apartment.

Oh, well, I'm sorry
to hear that.

You know, I was thinking about
going back to Philly,

but I don't really have money
for a plane ticket,

and ma and I aren't really

on speaking terms right now.

Yeah, it's a long story.

Well, are you hungry?

Yeah.

- You got anything?
- Uh, no,

I mean, I have pretzels
and peanut butter...

You know, that'd be great.

I'll order a pizza.

No, I don't want to intrude
or anything.

That's okay.

It's just so...

weird seeing you here.

I was actually...

I was wondering if, uh,

I might be able to
stay here for a few days?

Just until
I get back on my feet.

Of course you can.

Of course you can.
Come on in.

My son, Will, he lives
in Atlanta with his wife.

The rest of us stayed here
in Cedar Cove.

My daughter, Olivia, the judge,

I already told you about her,

and her daughter, Justine.

[Sighs sadly]

She had another child,

Jordan,

Justine's twin.

He died several years ago.

Drowned in Starkwater Lake.

13 years old.

You want me to open the drawer?

This?

You don't want it?

[Shakes contents out]

Is this to your house?

Oh.

You want me
to hold onto it for you?

Okay.

Okay, then, I'll keep it safe.

This photographer, John Bowman,
is a genius.

Look at the composition,
the angle of the light.

It conveys so much heartache
and yearning...

It's a tree by a lake.

You sound like dad.

I bought one of these photos
for his birthday last year.

He had the same attitude.

Sorry.

That's okay.

Have you talked
to him recently?

No, not since we signed
the divorce papers.

[Door opens]

Yay,

lunch!

Sorry I'm late.

Yes, a whole three minutes

that is so coming off
your tip, young lady.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

that bracelet is gorgeous.

Did you make it?

Yeah. I've got more
on display at Moon's.

Oh, really?

Well, I am definitely
going to come by

and take a look at them.

I heard you started going out
with Seth Gunderson again.

Just a few dates.
Nothing serious.

I like Seth.

He's a good catch.

Did you get that?

He's a fisherman?

"Good catch."

Yeah, we got it, mom.

I should get going.

Thank you.

I'm definitely coming by
to take a look at your work.

Okay.

That girl is so gifted.

Mom!

What are you doing here?

Oh, I've asked your mom

to write a weekly
seniors' column.

If anybody's an expert
on the subject, it's her.

Is that all right with you?

Of course it is.

You keep at it.

And I'll be right back.

[Quietly] Everything okay
between you two?

Oh, she's still upset

about the lighthouse ruling.

We'll get through it.

Okay.

So, what's up?

Um, well, I just came to see

how you're doing with your son.

Oh, uh, it's great.

He's back at the house,
catching up on his sleep.

Poor guy.

But, no, it's going really well.

Yeah, I mean,
it's great seeing him,

and I'm feeling really like...

Jack.

I'm terrified.

[Chuckles wryly]

You know, I haven't seen him

or even talked to him in years.

And look at him.

I mean, he's a grown man now.

I don't know
who that stranger is.

Well, here's your chance
to get to know him.

I know, and he's obviously
going through a rough patch

with his girlfriend.

I'm glad
that he's reaching out to me,

but come on, Olivia,
I'm not good at this.

Good at what?

[Sighs heavily]

Being a dad.

I wasn't the most
responsible person

while he was growing up,

and that whole period, to me,
was just... a blur,

a bad dream.

Well, it's in the past.

You're sober now.

You've worked hard on yourself.

I'm worried about
saying the wrong thing,

or doing the wrong thing,

and pushing him away again.

You are being
way too hard on yourself.

You can't fix everything
in a day.

Why don't you do
something fun with him?

Some kind of
father and son activity.

Does he like baseball?

You could take him
to a Mariners game.

They're away on
a road trip right now.

[Charlotte]:
What about fishing?

My husband used to take
my son, Will, fishing

all the time.

Charlotte, I've never even
fished a day in my life.

First time for everything.

How are you today?

Charlotte?

Stan!

Hey...

What are you doing here?

Well, I still have
some patients out here

from before
I moved my practice,

so I like to get out
and see them

a few times a week.

All the way from Seattle.

If only more doctors
were like you.

So, how have you been?

You look great.

Keeping busy.

Helping out here
with the patients

as much as I can.

And how's Olivia?

The usual.

Ruling from on high.

I saw her a couple weeks ago.

She was having dinner
with someone

at the Captain's Galley.

- Jack?
- Jack Griffith.

New editor
of "The Chronicle."

Ah.

I didn't know
she was dating again.

They seem to be
getting along all right.

He's a very nice man.

Good.

I'm happy for her.

[Chuckles fondly]

You know...

part of me still wishes

the two of you could
somehow get back together.

Well, I don't know about that.

I think my current wife

might have a little
problem with it.

What's done is done, right?

Well, I'd better get going.

I'm running late.

Of course.

Listen, Charlotte,
great to see you.

Oh. You too.

Charlotte?

I'm so sorry.

I should have
called you earlier.

He died last night,

in his sleep.

I'm so sorry.

When do they start biting?

I have no idea.

You say they catch
salmon here, right?

Yeah, so they say.

And Halibut.

And Lingcod.

What's Lingcod?

I haven't got a clue.

What's with the line?

Ah...

You know how I told you

this town has lousy
cell phone reception?

Well, at the end of that dock

is one of the few places

that actually gets
a really good signal,

so people line up
and wait their turn.

Strict
five-minute-per-call rule.

Huh.

Even in the rain?

It's a really good signal.

So I never knew
that you left Philly.

Three years ago,
I met this girl,

and she wanted
to move to Florida.

So, we're on our way there,

and we got hung up in Richmond.

We found work.

She found work, really.

I kind of jumped job to job.

I kept getting laid off.

You know, bad economy.

And then we broke up...

And then I met this other girl.

She always wanted to see
the west coast,

we ended up
in Vancouver, and...

you know the rest.

You see, the last time
I talked to your mother,

she didn't tell me any of this.

She said you were doing great.

Well, she's right.

I was doing great...

till my girlfriend
kicked me out.

[Knock on door]

Yes?

[Door opens]

Hey.

[Chuckling fondly]

Got a minute?

I know you're busy.

No, no. What's up?

A stroke victim
from the convalescent center

gave this to me.

Gail the social worker
introduced me to him.

A John Doe case,

no one knows who he is,

or if he has any family.

He died yesterday.

I want to find out
what that key unlocks.

I was hoping you could help me.

Maybe there's some way to...

Mom, you can't show me this.

That man was
a ward of the state.

You need to give this
to the social worker.

No, I don't.
He gave it to me.

As far as I'm concerned,
it's now my property.

Besides, Gail is so overworked,

even if I turned the pouch in,

it'll probably just get
tossed into another drawer

never to be seen again.

You don't know that.

So you're not going to help me?

That man was coming
to Cedar Cove for a reason.

I know it.

Maybe he has family here.

And I'm the only one

who will actually take the time
to look into it.

I would love
to help you, mom, I would.

But it makes me uncomfortable
from a legal standpoint.

That man was
a ward of the state...

I told you, he gave it to me...

And the less you involve me,
the better for both of us.

I should've known.

I don't know
what I was thinking,

coming here.

Mom, please don't go
like that...

[Door slams]

[Sighs]

Oh, Stan!

You're still here.

Is something wrong?

Got a minute?

Of course.

[Objects clattering]

That's a slide from a bolo tie.

It's handcrafted.

Nice metalwork.

What about this?

I'm thinking it's to his house
or apartment?

Not that it's going to be easy
to track down.

Nobody knows who he is,
where he's from.

It's got a number on it.

S-42.

Could be any number of things.

Could be a safety deposit box.

I feel I have to look into it.

He gave it to me
for safekeeping.

Such a sweet old man.

You know, there was
something familiar about him.

I couldn't place it.

You know what, let me...

[Shutter clicks]

Look into it.

I'll see what I can find out.

Thank you.

So, why didn't you tell me

that you started
seeing someone?

I could ask you the same thing.

It's nothing serious.

Just a couple of dates.

Me too.

Supposing it was serious...

Would that be okay with you?

Why wouldn't it be?

I don't know.

I know it's been a while
since I've seen anyone.

I just don't want it to be
awkward between us.

Well, don't worry about me.

I'm fine.

These...

Are incredible.

The granulated filigree
evokes a technique

not unlike that

of the ancient Italians.

Hellenistic era, of course.

Of course.

I will take these.

I'll get a box.

Oh, my gosh!

Your work just keeps
getting better and better.

She paints, too.

And sculpts.

And I sell coffee and bagels.

No, you are an artist
is what you are,

and don't you ever forget that.

Thank you.

Hey, look who's here!

Hi, Seth.

Sorry to interrupt.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Actually, you can have
more than a sec.

We were on our way out.

We were?

Oh, yeah.

[Thunder rumbles outside]
We're going to need an umbrella.

Hey. What's up?

I just got called for a job.

Inside passage,
big potential payday.

But I have to leave tomorrow.

It's just a few weeks.

Then I'm back.

That's great.

You're okay?

Yeah.

Yeah...

'Cause you don't seem okay.

No, Seth, I'm fine.

You should go.

Well, I don't have to go
till tomorrow.

That's a whole day away.

So...

Dinner tonight?

All right.

I got it!

Oh, thank goodness.

[Shivering]

You know I have to tell you,

I am so happy Warren Saget
is out of her life.

I never did understand

what Justine saw in that man.

Safety and stability.

Oh, but now, look at Seth,

he's so perfect.

Just a couple dates.
Nothing serious.

Are you kidding me?

You see the way those two
look at each other?

They belong together.

We'll see.

What's with the tone?

- What tone?
- Your tone.

I don't have a tone.

You don't want her dating Seth?

I didn't say that.

Ah-hah! You didn't
say it out loud.

Oh, I just wish

she would take her time,
think things through.

She doesn't need to
jump in a relationship.

Spoken like a judge,

but try as hard as you want,

you cannot control
what the heart desires.

That's what worries me.

Hey!

Speaking of which.

Hey!

Wow, looks like
the fishing went great.

Oh, what, this?

No, no, no.

I bought that at the market

down at the dock.

We had our mind set
on salmon for dinner, so...

Aw, so you didn't
catch anything?

A cold maybe.

Beautiful day
we're having here!

This was such
a good idea. Yeah.

[Laughing]

Oh, and then us two geniuses,

we bought this fish
before remembering

that neither one of us
knows how to cook it, so...

Well, I would
invite you to my house,

but the only thing that gets
any use in my kitchen

is the microwave.

But there is no problem, guys.

I will happily do the cooking.

I make a poached salmon
to die for.

Oh, Grace, that sounds amazing.

You know, aside from
the dying thing,

I love that, thank you.

Is it raining?
I hadn't noticed.

[Laughing]

Oh, yeah.

I would love to drive
cross country.

Get me a big ol' RV.

But I would not do
any of the interstates.

It would be strictly
back roads.

Oh, yeah.

That's the best way
to see the country.

Grace loves to travel.

- Cool.
- Not so cool.

Why? What happened?

She talked me into a cruise.

The Caribbean.

Yes, and that is because

nobody else would go with me.

I mean, my husband,

God forbid should step one foot
outside his precious garage.

And my daughters avoid going
on any kind of trip with me

because, apparently,

I embarrass them.

[Chuckles]

I can relate to that.

Oh, my gosh,
we go on the cruise,

everything is fine

until we hit Jamaica.

[Laughing]

She wants to do
this touristy waterfall thing...

And she wants to explore.

So we rent a car
and promptly got lost.

5:00, the ship
pulls out of port, right?

So we are racing,
I mean, like mad,

trying to get there in time,

wrong turn after wrong turn,

this one is in a full-on panic.

For good reason.

Why, you didn't make it?

No!

We pulled into port,

and there was the ship
just floating away.

[Laughing]

You should have seen
the look on your face.

- What did you do?
- What?

- What did you do?
- Nothing.

They spotted us,
and they stopped the ship,

they sent a tender back
to get us.

It was no big deal.

I liked our trip
to Napa better.

Oh, yeah, me too.

It was my 40th birthday.
She surprised me.

Napa was so beautiful,

and oh, my gosh,
we drank some really great wine,

but what the heck, it was
a special occasion, right?

That it was.

Every night was
a special occasion

at my house growing up.

Sorry.

That was supposed to be a joke.

It's okay,
don't worry about it.

So, Grace, this salmon
looks incredible.

Oh, good.

Let's dig in.

You bet.

Eric?

Well, Olivia,
thank you for that.

that was a great night.

[Chuckles]

I can take your car
back to your house

if you guys wanna...

You know, if you want to stay.

Uh, no.

No, just go wait by the car.

I'll be right with you.

Thanks again.

Yeah.

[Sighs]

You're doing fine.

I don't know.

I don't know, I don't know.

I knew this was
going to be strange,

but having him here,
it's just, uh...

A little tougher than I thought.

I know he's had it rough,

and there's a lot of
emotional distance between you,

but you just have to
keep moving forward,

and close that distance
one step at a time.

You know what my goal is?

To get to the point
in a relationship

that you have with your mother,

where you're not
just the parent,

but you're a good friend.

Anyway.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey.

Hey.

8:00 in the morning,

and you're already working.

Yeah, I got a lot
to do before I go.

Are those chocolate chip?

Moon baked a fresh batch
just for you.

I'm gonna miss you.

I know it's just
a few weeks, but...

Here's what you do...

If you get too lonely,
look up at the night sky.

Find polaris, the north star.

And how is that supposed to
make me feel less lonely?

Well, if you see it,

you know I'll be
looking up at it, too.

Then we won't feel
so far apart.

Hey, would you check up
on the boat for me

while I'm gone?

Spare key.

Sure.

If you want,

you can take it for a spin,

just try not to, you know...

Sink it?

- Right.
- So, umm,

how much time do we have
before you leave?

Two hours, 16 minutes...

31 seconds.

Hi, mom.

What are you doing here?

I want to help you find out

who this old man was.

You don't have to.

I know I don't have to.

I want to.

I already have
someone helping me.

Who?

Olivia?

Stan's helping you?

Hey.

How you doing?

You look great.

Thank you.

So do you.

I bumped into Stan

the day the old man died.

He's helping me try
to figure out what this key is.

And on that front,

I have an update.

Would you like to join us?

Sure.

So the key.

It looks like it's to
a self-storage unit.

It matches the keys

used by a company called
Sperling Storage.

Where are these units?

I don't know.

Not yet, anyway.

Well, you don't have to
worry about it anymore.

I can take over from here.

Are you sure?

Because I don't want you
to do anything

that'll make you feel
uncomfortable.

Mom, please let me help you.

Okay, um... just promise
to keep me updated

on what you find out about it?

Deal.

So, what do you think's
in the storage unit?

I have no idea.

Ooh, what if he was like
one of those serial killers,

and he kept his bodies
in there?

Then we're in for
a very unpleasant afternoon.

But first, I have to
find the place,

and I think it's going to
take a while.

Look, could you
try to find Jack for me?

I was supposed to have dinner
with him and his son tonight,

and I think
I'm going to be late.

I tried to call him at home
and his office,

and there was no answer.

I'll keep an eye out for him.

So, if you find dead bodies
in that storage unit,

who's the first call
you're going to make?

The police?

After me.

Goodbye, Grace.

[Sighs]

Well, I cross-checked
the daily bus schedule

with the time they found him.

He wasn't here long,

so we can assume he came
on a recent bus that day.

Well this is where they found him,
right on that bench,

slumped over, unconscious.

What if he wasn't a passenger?

What if he was just here
to pick someone up?

Then that person
would've found him,

or at least inquired about him.

The last bus
to come in that morning

was from Buckley.

You think
that's where he lived?

I don't know,

but the storage company,
Sperling Storage?

They have
a facility in Buckley,

and it's just
two hours from here.

Let's go.

It's not just jewelry,
she's painting, sculpting.

Her work belongs
in a real gallery,

not Moon's.

What are you, her agent now?

Well, you know
what Justine is like.

I mean, she's, I don't know,
afraid, insecure.

She would never
approach you on her own,

and you, as her good friend,

are in a position
where you can help her along.

Well, I wouldn't say
"good friend."

Would you come on...

It would mean the world to her.

She respects you,

and you have such a great eye

for spotting fine art.

Yeah, spotting it,
but not creating it.

Hey...

We all have our gifts,
Maryellen,

and the owners of that gallery
recognized yours

when they hired you to manage it
at 25 years old.

It's pretty impressive,

if you ask me.

Well, actually, they hired me
a month before my birthday,

so, technically,
I was 24 years old.

[Laughs]

That's my girl.

I gotta run.

I'm late for a conference call.

Oh, of course you are.

Hey there.

Well, hey!

Well, hey!

You... you're just the man
I'm looking for.

- Really.
- Yeah.

Hey. You're here already.

Great, you didn't have to
wait long, did you?

No, I, uh,

I just actually got here.

But I'm ready to go
whenever you are.

Okay, great.
Hold that thought.

Uh, you wanted to talk to me?

Yes, uh, Olivia called,

and said she might be late
for dinner tonight.

Is everything all right?

Oh, yeah, she just got hung up,

doing some stuff with her mom.

She sends her apologies.

Oh, well, thank you.

Okay.

So I'm going to... go.

I've got a... thing I got to do.

So I'm going to go do it.

Go do that thing.

Yup.

All right. Bye-bye.

Let's go.

Okay.

[Eric clears his throat
awkwardly]

Here we are.

What if he was some
kind of ax murderer,

and kept his victims in here?

Oh, my God.
You're as bad as Grace.

Wow.

He had quite the collection.

No wonder
he looked so familiar.

He was Tom Harting.

The country singer?

Yes.

Big star back in the day.

I had some of his records.

Wasn't he a bit
of a troublemaker?

He had his demons.

Then he just dropped
off the map.

I can't believe it.

Tom Harting in Cedar Cove.

[Door squeaks open]

Mom's right.

You are gifted.

Thanks.

Seth's boat?

Yeah.

He left earlier, for a job.

Gonna be gone a few weeks.

Weeks? Ouch.

I don't know
if I could handle that.

Long-distance
relationship,

so many things can go wrong.

Not that anything's
gonna go wrong with yours.

It's not even a relationship.

I mean, we just started dating.

These jewelry pieces,

they're great.

You up for displaying them
at the gallery?

My jewelry in your gallery?

And that drawing
you're doing...

And whatever else you have.

I heard you've also been
painting and sculpting?

Are you sure?

Yes.

And you should be, too.

Okay.

I mean...

Yes. Thank you.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

[Laughing]

It was amazing.

He wasn't just a famous singer,

he was a really
good artist, too.

[Sets mug down firmly]

What's wrong?

I have to tell you something,
and you're not gonna like this.

Jack's son?

I saw him steal money.

He took maybe 40 bucks,

from the petty cash box
at "The Chronicle."

[Sighs heavily]

Did you tell Jack?

No. I wanted to,

but I thought
I'd tell you first.

I gotta...

I-I think this kid's
going to be trouble.

Well, he has had a rough life.

He's probably got
a lot of resentment built up.

So, what are you going to do?
Are you going to tell him?

I don't know.

I'm having them over for dinner.
I'll just have to wait and see.

[Radio plays]: No matter
where I get to travel,

who I get to meet,

and the stories I get to share,

I long to be home.

Home is never to be underrated.

You're listening to Delilah...

You finding anything good?

All of it.

That man led quite the life.

I'm going to write about him
for my next column.

Sounds like a good idea.

Well, I'm out of here, so, uh...

Just lock up when you're done?

Will do.

Okay.

Hey!

Hey! Hey, what
is this thing?

That is a birdhouse.

Hopefully.

I'm taking woodworking lessons.

Cool.

Hey, why aren't you dressed?

We're due at Olivia's,
like, right now, mister.

Let's get going.

Oh, shoot.

Give me two seconds.

Yeah.

Hey, Olivia.

You're serious about her?

I don't know.

Why, you don't like her?

No. No, she's great.

She's just, um...

Just, uh...

Not like mom.

Right.

In a... in a good way.

I'm happy for you.

Olivia, I was right.

He was coming here
to find his family.

Wow, look at you.

This is quite the spread.

I thought you said
you don't cook.

I don't.

But plenty of places deliver.

Dig in.

How are you enjoying
Cedar Cove?

I love it.

I mean, it's kind of quiet,

a little bit slow, but...

Sorry, did you want
some of this?

Oh. Yes, please.

But, I, uh...

I was actually thinking of
living here permanently.

You know, I'd get my own place.

I'm not moving in
with you for good...

No, that's not...

It's not that at all.

Stay as long as you want.

- All right.
- All right.

I'm just kind of surprised

that you would even consider
living in such a small town.

Aren't you the big city guy?

I could ask you the same thing.

I mean, I'm just thinking

if you can be happy here,

maybe I can be happy here.

I've got to find myself
a job, though, first, right?

- What do you do?
- Anything.

Mostly handyman stuff,
construction.

I didn't really
have money for college,

so I kind of had to figure
this thing out on my own, right?

Yeah.

Hey, I didn't mean it
like that...

It's okay.

I made a lot of mistakes
with you

growing up,

and I can't change that.

What I can control

is what happens
from here on out.

So hopefully,

I can be the father now
that I always should've been.

So...

[Clears throat]

I, uh,

forgot to tell you something.

I borrowed some money

from your petty cash box
in your office?

I hope it's okay?

I'm going to pay
you back, I promise.

Oh, that's fine,
don't worry about it.

It's fine,
take whatever you need.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Four times I called him.

Cliff Harting.
Tom Harting's son.

He has a ranch outside of town.

I leave messages,
he doesn't call me back.

Maybe he doesn't
want to talk to you.

I just want to tell him
about his father.

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

Hi, me.

Listen, I know we had planned

on spending
the day together tomorrow...

Olympic National Park.

We may have sunshine.

Yeah, about that, um...

Eric found out that
the Mariners are back in town

and that
there's a day game tomorrow.

He wants to go see it,
just the two of us...

Oh, I see.

Father-son activity, right?

Right.

That's great.

I'm really sorry.

Don't worry about it.

You guys have fun.
We can do it some other time.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

Okay.

Talk to you later.

Trouble?

Hmm.

- Hi, Stan.
- Hey.

What are you doing here?

Looking for Charlotte.

You just missed her.

Oh, well, I was in town,

and just thought
I'd see what happened

with the old man's key.

Turns out he was Tom Harting.

Famous country singer
back in the day.

Really? Wow.

Yeah, but mom's come up
against a bit of a roadblock

trying to track down his family.

Since when did a roadblock
ever get in your mother's way?

[Laughs]

Hey, listen, are you hungry?

Want to grab a bite to eat?

I'm exhausted.

I think I'm just
going to go home

and decompress.

Sure.

Well, I'll see you later then.

Yeah.

[Radio plays] Love is messy...

it's messy, and it's complicated,
and it requires forgiveness

and letting the other person
be them self.

Something to think about.

You're listening to Delilah...

[Gate clanks]

Can I help you?

Cliff Harting?

I'm Charlotte Jeffers.

I called you a few times,

but you didn't call me back.

Most people would get the hint.

Look, your father
was on his way to...

My father abandoned
his family years ago.

Left my mother and I
to fend for ourselves.

He didn't give a damn about us,

so I don't give a damn
about him.

But that's where you're wrong.

He did give a damn.

Which is why he was
on his way to find you.

This song.

He recorded it for you.

I'd like you to listen to it.

I'd like to make sure
you listen to it.

After that,
I'll leave you alone.
