The Memory Book Page #5

Synopsis: Budding photographer Chloe (Ory) comes from a family of failed romances. At a local flea market, she stumbles upon an old photo album from the 1970s, chronicling the ideal romance of a happy couple (Hindle and Barbeau). Unable to find her own "true love," she sets out to find the couple in the album and prove that true love exists. Along the way, she meets Gabe Sinclair (Macfarlane), a mysterious, but charming bartender, who seizes the opportunity to join Chloe's mission and soon finds himself falling in love with her. With limited resources, the two go on an adventure, searching for clues that will lead them to the couple, and hopefully to true love. As the search continues, Chloe begins taking an interest in Gabe, but won't let these feelings distract her from her mission to find the couple. Will Chloe learn to give up her fear of falling in love and finally find true happiness?

We could use that.

We're not together.

We're not getting married.

We're not married.

It's about a wedding that

happened 40 years ago.

That was a little

before my time.

I-21.

I-21.

Keep your eyes on your card.

You have that one, too.

We're actually looking for a

couple that was married here

in 1971.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

There was a fire in '93 and

all the files were destroyed.

Ugh.

This is really starting

to feel hopeless.

Chloe.

Nothing is ever hopeless.

Have faith.

G-52.

Bingo.

Bingo!

I won!

I won!

Well, it looks like

you're a $100 richer.

That's exactly what Mabel wanted

to go through her records.

You think she'll do it for us?

Um...

last time you said you'd

do it for $100.

I have a right to be compensated

for my time.

It's not a crime, is it?

Uh, no, but here's the hundred.

The price has gone up.

I couldn't even consider it

for less than200 bucks.

200 now?

Miss Potter, I shouldn't be

showing you this,

but you leave me no choice.

What was that?

Was that a gas card?

You've already seen

too much.

A badge?

Was it a badge?

Who are you two with?

The police?

Bigger.

The FBI?

Oh.

The IRS?

We can't discuss it.

The IRS?

Oh, shhh.

Please keep your voice down.

Sorry.

The IRS?

You are clearly an

intelligent woman,

so you've no doubt surmised

that this is an issue

of some importance.

Is there a photo of something

in that book

that there shouldn't be

a photo of?

Or someone?

A big time tax evader?

We cannot confirm or deny.

We can only ask

your country's help

in locating the donor

of that property.

Not here.

Big ears.

Prying eyes.

Come with me

to my office.

This is your office?

Excuse me if I don't meet

your federal standards,

but this works for me.

Ink and paper, that's what

I put my trust in.

How do you find anything?

I have a system, it's called

"it's in here somewhere".

And I pay my taxes,

every penny.

1993, '97...

I'm closing in here.

Hold this.

I'm getting closer.

I'll know it when I see it.

Ah!

You found it?

Key lime pie recipe!

I thought it was gone

for good.

Ok, ok, here we go.

Name, address, phone.

I think you'll find

it's all here.

Can I see-

I feel pretty weird

about this.

Well, do what you think

is right.

I am bound by law, however,

to inform you

that you've been under

constant surveillance.

Surveillance?

Oh, don't, don't look around.

Just keep your eyes

on me.

There's a half dozen cameras

trained on you right now.

Here, take it.

We thank you.

Your government

thanks you.

Take it and forget

you ever saw me.

Is this the info we've been

looking for?

Sarah Lunde...

That can't be right.

Why not?

Lunde is her maiden name.

Well, that's what it says

right there.

Sarah Lunde.

Maybe we couldn't find a wedding

announcement because...

There was no wedding?

Gabe.

Where are you?

You'll never guess

what I'm doing.

At this point,

nothing would surprise me.

I'm in the car tailing

Sarah Lunde.

I thought you were gonna

wait for me to be done work.

No, no, I know

that was the plan

but we're so close

I couldn't wait.

So you're in a car chase.

Is this the same woman that

quoted me the speed limit?

It's not a car chase,

she was driving away

when I got to her house

so I followed her

at a sensible speed

keeping a low profile.

The target has pulled

into a flower nursery.

Wow, in a few short weeks

you've turned into Sam Spade.

What do I do?

Introduce yourself.

Talk to her.

I'm nervous.

I think I'm having

second thoughts.

Chloe, if you get a chance

just talk to her.

Ok, I gotta go.

She entered the store.

Do you need back up?

Stay by the phone.

Stop following me.

I'm not, I'm shopping.

A plastic owl?

Yeah, I had a real one

but he died.

I saw you outside.

And here in the shop.

Ok, I'm following you.

You're that woman,

aren't you?

Chloe Davenport,

nice to meet you.

There is nothing nice

about this at all.

I know it was you

on the phone,

but if you only knew why

I was trying to find you,

I have-

If it's about that book-

Yes! Yes, so you know!

If you had any idea

what we've been through

to try to find you, we found

your fish on the wall,

the park ranger, he sent us

to the flower shop.

That was your Tori,

wasn't it?

It was.

Then we went to the skating rink

and we found your old locker

with the box of old letters...

Why are you doing

all of this?

That is what I would really like

the chance to explain to you.

I...

I don't want to hear it.

Then why did you ask?

It was rhetorical.

Please, I just really need

to know about the wedding.

We couldn't find a wedding

announcement-

Because it never happened.

There was no wedding.

And I have no intention

of reliving all that

in the middle of

a garden center.

Or anywhere else,

for that matter.

What do you mean,

there was no wedding?

So what exactly do you think Or anywhere

else, you're going to find there?

If there is even a trace

of ink left on this paper,

I'm going to find it.

And if I can get Jonathan's

last name, we can find him.

And if I find him-

Chloe, we were right.

I mean, there was

no wedding.

She told you so herself.

Well, I don't care what

she said.

Those people in those photos

are the only truly happy,

loving couple I've ever known.

I put my faith in them.

And if this perfect couple

couldn't make it,

what chance do I have?

A little melodramatic,

don't you think?

I need to know what happened,

and if Sarah won't tell me

then it's up to Jonathan.

Wait, wait!

Is this a D?

O, D, D?

Yeah, Jonathan Dodd.

One, two, three.

[Knocks on door]

[Knocks on door]

Can I help you?

Mr. Dodd?

Who's asking?

You don't know me.

No, I don't.

I've been looking for you

for a very long time.

Are you bill collectors?

No, no.

We're old friends, Mr. Dodd.

Not really good friends

I guess,

since I'm not the guy

you're looking for.

We're neighbours.

Oh.

Do you know where we might

find him?

He's gone for lunch probably,

same place he always goes.

Do you know where that is?

I can't tell you exactly,

but he's nuts about some place

called Vito's.

Vito's?

Got some sentimental

attachment.

Jack's odd that way.

Jack?

Odd about a lot of things.

Not Jonathan?

Everybody calls him Jack.

What kind of friends

are you?

Thank you.

Hey, that first day

at the restaurant.

Yeah, the guy that was

just leaving.

Wasn't his name Jack?

This Jack?

This is the guy you've been

looking for all this time?

He can't really be

the same person.

We'll, there's only one way

to find out.

Gabe, you can't just go out

and ask him.

Sure I can.

Ok, well be careful

how you do it

because if he reacts the same

way Sarah did-

You're forgetting

there's a difference.

I know what I'm doing.

Hey there, Jack is it?

Yeah, who are you?

Name's Gabe.

Sorry to interrupt.

I've been thinking about

investing some money in here

and Vito told me

you're kind of a regular.

Ever since his father

ran the place.
