The Way Home
Sundays 9:00 PM on HallmarkKat Landry Quotes
Del: We’ve let unsaid words take up too much space, haven’t we?
Kat: Not anymore, mom.
Susana lived a long life, but not long enough to see a world where a woman’s name can sell a book, so I’m going to republish it, set the record straight.
It happened. Thomas was executed, but not by soldiers. It was Cyrus. Because of Jacob and me, maybe. But I did get to talk to him, have a final goodbye. Oh, Thomas, he gave me these [shows him the coins].
Del: It’s an open ticket. Do you mean you wanted to see me after everything we said?
Kat: I missed you, and I wanted you to meet Alice, and I wanted you to know that you had such a beautiful granddaughter.
Del: I already knew about her back then.
Kat: Then why didn’t you —
Del: I should have. Oh, honey. I wanted to reach out to you so many times to see my baby being a mother, but I stopped myself.
Kat: Why?
Del: Because I didn’t think I deserved you, and I didn’t want to be a burden. And I wanted to give you a chance to start your life over without me. If I had known that you missed me and wanted to see me. Oh, honey.
Kat: I thought you didn’t want to see us.
Del: Oh, God. If I got that ticket, I would have been there in a heartbeat.
Thomas: If I had lived, what would you have done?
Kat: I don’t know. I could have loved you. But I love someone else, and you and I, it’s just too late.
I wish dad was here to see this.
Thomas: Katherine, if I run, Jacob dies! I’m not innocent in this. I’ve played my part. I didn’t mean to shoot you by the pond.
Kat: That doesn’t matter.
Thomas: Yes, it does! I need you to know I was aiming at Cyrus! He was in the woods alone that day, and I had him in my sights.
Kat: Wait. If you had killed him, then Jacob and Susana would be safe. YOU would be safe! God! This is all my fault!
Thomas: No, no! Kat, I would never fault you for emerging into my life. Ever.
Thomas: Will you still allow me to carry that part of your heart in mine, as I asked before? Then please, take a piece of mine for yours. Something to remember me by.
Kat: Please, please. [They passionately kiss] Please don’t. [sobbing]
Thomas: Katherine, you need to go now! Kat, go! Run! And whatever you do, don’t look back. Go!
Kat: As perfect as Alice is, I just needed a break. Brady’s this amazing dad, but maybe he’s too amazing. I just feel like I can’t do anything right. I don’t know who I am anymore, El. My career’s flatlined, I’m lonely at home all day, and I just feel trapped. I’ve lost myself in being a mom, and I think it’s made me a terrible one.
Elliot: Listen, Kat. You are going to be an incredible mother, and you are going to raise an amazing daughter whose love for you is beyond words. She’ll grow up to not only be your daughter, but your best friend.
Kat: I decided to walk through the fields. I can’t believe they’re not going to be ours anymore.
Del: I can’t break the deal. Brady says the contract’s iron clad.
Kat: So you are having second thoughts.
Del: Of course I am. Do you think I wanted this to happen?
Kat: You are going to regret selling, Mom. I’m telling you.
Kat: I wanted to go to London with you. I don’t remember very much from that night, but on that staircase, I saw you, El, and I felllll a bit in love, and I’m sorry I turned so cold afterwards. I was scared, embarrassed, and just a dumb kid.
Elliot: A dumb kid who was really going to run away with me, huh?
Kat: Yeah. But, much like that kiss the other night, it ended before it began.
Elliot: I meant that kiss, Kat, but I want us to be on the same page. No more secrets.
Nick: Stop! What are you guys telling me? It’s a sick joke, right? You’re not actually telling me that Kat’s kid and my Alice are the same person.
Alice: Yeah, that’s what we’re saying.
