to find you here?

He knows I'm from a small town.

He might find me, but if he

does I'll be ready for him.

Rich!

Tell me this is not a dream.

Oh man.

Welcome to civilization, buddy.

I'll grab that.

You've lost weight.

Yeah?

You try doing ten years inside.

I'd kill for a burger.

You don't have to,

I'll take you out to eat.

Okay.

And eventually he turned into

someone I didn't even know.

Then he went to prison.

I'm so sorry you and

Olivia went through all that.

He did get a 15 year sentence,

but he got out early

for good behavior.

Five years early.

I just couldn't take the

chance that he would come back

and come into our lives.

No, of course not.

You made the right

decision to leave.

So Olivia told me

that she read online

about Duane's passing last year.

Yes.

He got up in the middle of

the night for a glass of water,

and the next morning I

found him in the hallway.

He suffered a heart attack.

I'm sorry...

Do you take

anything in your coffee?

Do you have any

pictures of Dad around?

A few in the den.

I know it's not easy

being here for either of us.

You know it's coming

up on the anniversary

of dad's death.

I still miss him so much.

You know he kept all the

drawings you gave him?

I have a box of his things in

the garage if you want them.

What did I miss?

Washing the dishes.

Oh no.

Olivia, your mom tells me

you're quite an artist.

Yeah, I'm okay.

Well you have to show

me your work sometime.

Your mom was a good artist

too, when she was younger.

Really?

She won an art scholarship

when she graduated high school.

She could have studied here,

but she took it and left home.

So did you say you

were going to bed?

Yeah.

That is a great idea.

Good night, Grandma.

Good night.

You sure you don't want

me to go in with you?

Mom, I'm 15.

I can totally find my

way to my first class.

Okay.

Have a good first day.

Thank you.

Olivia!

Honey, I'm sorry.

I know how hard it was for

you to leave your friends,

but I want you to know, we're

going to get through this.

What if dad finds us here?

What then?

Are we going to run

away to some other town?

No, it ends here.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Excuse me, have you

seen Chloe today?

No.

Have you seen her this week?

Did she move?

What the hell is

going on with you?

Chloe left and she took Olivia.

Hey, you need to be careful.

One call from that neighbor and

you could be back inside again.

You're right, let's go.

[Cell phone ringing]

Mrs. Chien.

How are you?

I'm very good.

I'm calling to tell you that

Sam was at your house

and he was looking for you.

He got very angry,

pulled out the for sale sign,

threw it to the ground and

wanted to know if you moved.

I didn't tell him anything.

Okay, Mrs. Chien.

You need to be very careful.

Please stay away from

him, he is very dangerous.

I will.

And you take care.

You too.

Goodbye.

Bye.

[School bell ringing]

Sorry!

Thank you.

Hey, you're new here.

We're in homeroom together.

I'm Abby.

Olivia.

I know.

Our moms went to

high school together

like a million years ago.

So, how do you like it so far?

It's fine, I guess.

You know, it's high school.

Yeah.

I bet Los Angeles was so cool.

I've never been.

Yeah, I miss it already.

So why move to West Ridge?

We're in the middle of nowhere.

My mom got a job offer.

Who do you have

for sixth period?

Mr. Bream for history.

Oh hey, we're in the same class.

That's cool.

A bunch of us are

meeting up after school,

we just hang out

it's totally casual.

But I know they'd like

you, if you want to come?

Yeah sure, that'd be great.

Here, give me your number.

Done.

So I'll see you in sixth?

Mr. Bream is totally nice.

Yeah, see you then.

My gosh.

Chloe?

You have not

changed in 20 years.

Alexis.

Oh my goodness.

Look at you, it's

so good to see you!

Thanks!

I never thought you'd

come back here, ever.

Neither did I.

So you mentioned in your

e-mail you were divorced.

Yeah, that's partly the reason

I decided to move back.

I just wanted a fresh

start away from my ex.

What does he think

about you moving here?

It's not his decision.

So how does that work with

Olivia never seeing her dad?

Well he hasn't been

involved in her life

since she was a

very little girl.

So hey, you are married, right?

Yes, to Dave Buchanan.

He was a year ahead

of us in high school.

Yes!

We have a daughter,

Abby, she's 15.

Same age as your daughter.

Can I get you

something to drink?

Yes, I would love a water

with lemon, please.

Bring me a glass of white wine.

Wine for lunch?

Yeah, my boss does it.

I work at a really casual place,

so it's not a problem.

You know, I was going

to ask you about that.

Do you know of any job openings?

I'm looking for a

marketing position,

preferably with a clothing line.

It's not like the

big city, Chloe.

Opportunities here are slim.

Well, I actually have one

interview set for next week

and it is with an

apparel company.

Kimmy Coles?

That's where I work.

Yeah, I'm the

assistant sales director.

Really?

Do you know anything

about the open position

for the marketing director?

No.

You know...

our departments don't

always communicate.

Office politics.

Well, here's to

your fresh start.

Cheers!

Here it is!

I know it's not much,

but I'm sure it's nicer

than what you had inside.

Judy and the kids

are out of town,

so you can stay

here for the weekend.

A man's life

reduced to a duffel bag.

You're free.

That's what matters, right?

Yeah.

I still have to show

the parole officer

that I'm actively

looking for work.

Well, I took the liberty of

sending out your resume

to a few places.

That's great.

Thank you.

I'll get a job, and then

Olivia can come live with me.

Chloe had no right to

take her away from me.

She's gonna pay for it.

Take it easy on the threats.

And I'd stay away

from your ex, Sam.

That's not a threat.

I'll let you get settled in.

Hey Rich.

Don't worry, I'm going

to turn things around.

Thanks for lunch.

Oh you're welcome, Alexis.

Text me when you come

in for your interview

and I'll come down and see you.

Oh great, I will.

Okay, see you later.

See you.

Brian?

Chloe Lancaster!

Can you believe it?

You look great!

I missed you at the reunion.

I haven't been back in town

since I left high school.

You really did become a cop.

Sergeant.

Oh, sorry.

I've been on the force

going on 12 years now.

Wow.

Hey I'm about to

grab some lunch,

you want to join me?

I'd love to, but

you know actually,

I just ate.

I'd love to catch up though.

Yeah.

Rain check?

Okay yeah, let me give my card.

Okay.

We gotta get together.

It's been too long.

I'd like that.

I'll be hearing from you soon?

Yes, you will.

Good.

Wow, it's really

good to see you again,

really good.

You too.

Okay, see you.

All right.

Have a good day.

You too.

Hey mom.

Hey.

Wow, it's really beautiful.

Thank you.

I took up gardening

to calm my nerves.
